FIND GOLD IN
 PUBLIC PARK

LOS ANGELES, April 9.-Los Angeles could follow the example of Long Beach, whose municipal treasury is swollen with oil royal ties, and become a "taXless city by opening Griffith Parks scenic hills to the exploitation of gold mining interests, according to busi- ness men who recently sought min ing concessions in the park, which lies in the foothills of Hollywood.
 At least $200,000,000 in gold could be taken from the Griffith Park hills, the applicants for con sessions contended, citing the dis eoyery of gold nuggets in one of the rayines of the preserve as evidence that its slopes were well salted down with precious metal.
 However, an opinion handed down by the city attorney to the effect that the terms under which the city obtaine dthe park prohibit it's use for any commercial purposes, makes it unlikely that the purported hid den hoard of gold will be disturbed.

CONCERT
Elijah Presented, With Good
Local soloists Doing
Splendid Work.
BY WILLIAM MOORE.

The Washington Choral Society,
under the direction of Charles Wen
gerd, presented Mendelssohn's inn
mortal sacred oratorio, Elijah, =
last night in the New Masonic Tenn
pie Auditorium.
This concert was the fourth of a
series given during the past season.
The soloists were Gertrude Lyons,
soprano; Richie Mclean, contra1to:
Carfax Sanderson, tenor, and
Charles Trowbridge Tittmann, bass.
Charles 7. Ferry was the pianist
accompanist.
While the choral society mani
tested unbcunded enthusiasm, and
demonstrated that the chorus had
worked hard in order to give The
performance on the date set, never
theIess, it was agreed by many In
the audience that it was a mistake
to present the oratorio al. this time.
Elijah" is too big work to be
given after but one or two months
preparation. And the chorus last
night showed evidence that it was
not perfectly familiar with the
score.
The attacks were /, occasionally
ragged, shading in several numbers
was a general slipshodness that
failed to do justice to the time and
effort spent by Mr.. Wengerd I'm
whipping the chorus in, shape.
The tenor side was weak, and all
four parts kept their eyes glued on
their books, thus failing to respond
promptly to the directors baton.
The choral society is by no means
an inartistic organization. It has
demonstrated its ability many times
previously. 1t can be explained,
therefore, that the apparent unfa.-
niliarity with Elijah" at last
nights concert was undoubtedly due
principally to the fact that more
time was needed in IT'S preparation.
Miss Richie Mclean gave an arts
tic and effective rendition of the
popular aria, 20 rest in the Lord, y
the audience recalling her several
times
Carfax Sanderson, while exhibit
ing at times curious muffled quail
ity, especially in his upper notes,
sang with strict regard for inter-
probation. He entered whole-soul-
eddy into the spirit of the ofatorio.
paying attention to the rendition OF
the words as much as to the quality
Of the music.
Mr.. Tittnnann was a virile
Elijah" While he had tendency
to sing legato in some places where
a sharp, biting. staccato was neces-
sary, his work as a whole bore the
stamp of true art. His recitatives
were given with authority, and the
arias were marked by suavity and
finesse that evoked favorable COM
ment.
Mrs. Lyons gave an excellent in
depreciation of the score. Her
voice, although a trif1e strained at
times, was in good condition.
Much credit should be given Mr..
Ferry, the accompanist.
