SAN FRANCISCO'S
CHRISTMAS EVE
Continued from Page one)

And so for one night in the yeal
busy, bustling Market street has been
! dedicated to the finer thoughts and
senses and actions. Picture twinkling
stars looking down from a summer
sky, the governed streets of the city
Ia vast cathedral, holding happy
throng of joyous people who enjoyed
two hours of inspiring and sacred
music, some of it by such artists as
Jan Kubelik, the master violinist;
David Bispham, the singer; members
of the Paris Grand Opera Company.
"a supplied choir from one of the
city's greatest churches, and you have
in a nutshell the story of Christmas
Eve in San Francisco.
The idea was in fact an enlarge
ment of the entertainment of last
year at which Tulsa Totrazzini, the
world-famed prima donna, came back
to the city which first discovered her
and gave of her best to the delighted
thousands which gathered in the open
air to hear her magnificent voice.
Hers was a grateful tribute to a city
she loved, to city which was quick
to recognize her great art wherefore
II was her pleasure to give freely to
the assembled thousands what the
thousands in other cities gave money
to hear Her act was heralded around
the world, not alone for its novelty,
hut because to the storm-bound PEG.
pie of most of the world it was mat
ter of amazement that a gifted singer
could find climate in San Francisco
on Christmas Eve which would enable
her to sing in the open air.
This year Tetra2zin was in far
away Boston, but she telegraphed her
congratulations, and voiced the hope

BIG AUSTRALIAN
NEWSPAPER MAN

Mr., and Mrs. w. G. Conley came all
the way from Sydney, N. S. W., just
to see Honolulu. They arrived this
morning by the Zealandia and they
will leave again tomorrow by the
Makura, or Thursday, as the case may
be, so they will be pretty busy seeing
what can be seen in this short space.
Mr.. COnley is a busy man. He is
the general manager of the Sydney
Morning Herald, the oldest newspaper
in Australia, and one of the leading
journals there. He has just been
able to snatch the time necessary 10

personal friend of Percy Hunter, the
director of the Tourist Bureau of
New South Wales, and carries letters
of introduction to prominent people
in Honolulu, Mr.. Conley was anxious
to leave the Zealandia this morning
in order to get on his trip, as he did
not want to lose any of the sights
at all
Honolulu may feel proud of the
fact that anyone would come all the
way from Sydney, over four thousand
miles away, just to see its beauty
spots. 1t may also be pleased that
the promotion work that has been
done on its behalf has borne such
good fruit, and it will show that the
cooperation of Australia has been to
advantage.
The things that Mr. Conley will zee

trayed by him in series of articles

that San Francisco would make the
Christmas Eve concert permanent
municipal institution.
The concert this year was held in
the great triangular spot at Market,
Geary, Kearny and Third streets,
fronting the newspaper offices. A
platform had been erected against
one of the buildings and over The
sidewalk, and there, far up and
down Market street, and up and
down the diverging streets, the enor-
nous crowd gathered just after dusk
on Sunday All traffic was suspended
during the concert, so nothing dis.
turbed the enjoyment of the crowd.
Tens of thousands of people mad
gathered by half after six when the
Columbia Park Boys Club band APP
peared on the platform and rendered
various selections until seven. when
the concert was to begin. BY this
time the great space was a solid mass
of humanity, good natured and quiet.
The quiet became a decided hush
when Affre, the French tenor of the
opera company playing here, mounted
the platform. His pure, strong voice
penetrated to the far edge of the
crowd and up to the topmost windows
Of the neighboring buildings AS he
finished there was the pause before
The spellbound auditors recovered
themselves, then came the sharp rat
