Musical
BY Florence Bosard Lawrence

With brilliant vocalism, definite, con-
vincing pianism, and a well trained,
well balanced group of instrumental
lists, the Women's Symphony orchestra
played its first concert of the season
at the Auditorium last night.
The house was well filled, and the
ambitious group of women received
due appreciation for the earnest eff
forts they have made along musical
lines and for the splendid strength they
have achieved. They show good vol
ume for their numerical strength, and
the tonality of the instruments. es-
peclally of the strings was notably
good. There was noticeable once or
twice in the work last night some
lack of unity, which is no doubt due
entirely to the lack of public appear
ances of the orchestra. 1t is evident
from many causes that more playing
in public would have beneficial enliv-
ening and strengthening effect, and
would serve to familiarize Los An
geles music lovers with the decidedly
creditable work which these players
do. The program last night opened
with the sparkling and familiar over
ture to Tampa, in which the players
were at their best. The Beethoven
Symphony in major proved a more
difficult number for the instruments,
but the strings with their cantabile
helped over some of the thin places in
the reeds. The fantasie on themes
from Grieg was an interesting and
gratifying selection. The beautiful
"Ballet of the Hours" from Giorconda
and Wagner's "Albumblatt" concluded
the program for the evening, and each
was we'll selected to display to most
advantageous manner the many ad-
mirable qualities of the orchestra.
Paloma Schramm was the piano
soloist, playing the Beethoven con-
certo on e fiat, with these three num-
bers, Allegro, Adagio un POGO motto
and the Rondo, each with studious
reading. and abundant technical abil-
ity. The restraint which sometimes
follows this young players effort to
exercise classical severity, was less
marked last night than in some of her
previous experiences, and the orches-
trail accompaniment seemed to affect
both soloists with a most desirable
spirit and we've.
Miss Blanche Ruby sang the I'll
tania aria" from Mignon with an aban-
don and brilliance quite beyond her
usual excellent manner and was ac-
corded the honor Of an encore, return
ing to the stage repeatedly to bow
and accept the great bouquets ana
baskets of flowers which were rendered
her.
Mr.. Hamilton, who directed the SYM
phony was obliged to return and bow
his appreciation for applauses both
for himself and the orchestra several
times during the evening.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
CHOOSE COSTLY PROPERTY

LONG BEACH. April 22.-In a straw
vote taken to determine the popularity
of various proposed polytechnic hish
school sites among the pupils in the
high school and the seventh and eighth
grades of the grammar schools, 447
ballots were cast, and of these 226 were
in favor of the site offered at Sixteenth
street and American avenue by E. L..
Covert and H. L. Enloe. The second
highest vote, 1876, was cast for the
Tenth street and Orange avenue site
offered by Patrick O'Conner.
The vote is thought to have little
Significance, as with the list of sites
no references were made to their cost.
AS 1t happened the site receiving the
highest number of votes is the costliest
site proposed, It's price being $4,000.
Two of the sites are offered free of
charge and are twice the size of the
$40, 900 site. One of the free sites, that
offered by the Jackson Park Land
company, was fifth in the list of
twenty-one sites given on the ballot.
while the Bixby site, the other one
offered as a donation, came seventh.

PASADENA EDUCATORS To
CONDUCT BOND CAMPAIGN
Principals in Various Schools viii
Inform Public on Issues
of Election

PASADENA, April 23.-The publicity
committee of the board of education
met yesterday afternoon with the prin-
Cipals of the grammar schools at the
request of the latter to formulate d
campaign of education" the coming
week in favor of the proposed high
school bond issue of $500 900 to be voted
on at the Wilson school building April
%. No definite plans were made, but
il is stated that the principals VIII
work in their various districts dissem-
mating data furnished by the publicity
committee.
In the promotion literature are some
statistics furnished by ]. b. Beardsley
of the board, part Of which are as fol-
lows: 1.-THE tax for the first years IN
terest on the bonds will be approx
imatelv 55 cents on each $1,000 of as
sessed valuation in the school district
including Pasadena proper, Lamanda
Park, Altadena and Linda Vista. Thus
n Derson who owns a home assessed at
$4,000 eco per cent Of its value) would
be required to pay $1.10 in taxes the
first year, and this would become less
each year as the district builds up and
the total assessed valuation increases.
The first bond of $4,000 comes due in
ten years and the last in forty years,
thus enabling the students who receive
the benefit of the proposed polytechnic
high school to assist in paying the
bonds before they are all wiped out
The student bodies of the high school,
through their representatives, nave ob-
tanned permission to arrange a demon
stratiOn in favor of the bonds The
boys student body has already organ
lied a committee of twenty, with By
ron Phillips as chairman, and another
meeting will be held to appoint sub
committees. The girls student body
with Miss Martha Coolidge as presi-
dent, will meet the fore part of the
week to formulate plans for co-operat-
ing with the boys In the proposed DEM
onstration. Miss Charlotte knoch, vice
principal Of the high school, will assist
the girls in their plans, while the boys
will receive assistance from Prof. r. L.
Ashley.
Prof. Ashley stated last evening that
the students themselves brought out
the idea of boosting the bonds and that
the plans will not be announced until
they are ready to put them into effect
but something interesting is promised
when they appear before the public
"The students realize better than 9TH
ers," he said, that the high school IA
cilities are deplorably inadequate, and
the boys and girls are anxious to do
all they can to make conditions better.
They know that there is no possibility
of making the present location answer
the purpose, no matter what improve
ments are made.
THE studsnts have entered this cam
paign simply through love for the
school and with a desire to assist in
providing better facilities for their
younger brothers and sisters when they
shall have reached the high school.
They realize that they will be through
school before the proposed new build
ings could be erected and they know
that they will be called on to help pay
the bonds, but their interest in Pasa-
dena and its schools leads them to take
an active part in boosting for the
bonds"

The hot wave of yesterday was
caused by an area of high pressure

that the weather will remain warm and
fair over Saturday at least.

high the mercury had climbed.
The soda dispensers were kept on
the hop, and there was very little sur
plus of ice cream in Los Angeles by
closing time. However a tourist was
heard to remark that this little spell
of warm weather is not to be noticed,
