WITH KEY AND BOW 1 In- coming attraction at the Los An geles Theater is tbe elaborate presentation of tiie opera, King Solomon, by the Royal Operetta Company, late of the Thalia, New York City. The engagement com mences next Thursday evening, February 21st and continues four nights and a matinee. It is a very complete represen tation, based upon the romantic and his torical events iv tbe life of King Solomon. T be cast includes sixteen principals and a chorus of sixty-live persons, making a total of over eighty people. The costumes an- historically Correct and very elaborate, toll wing the ancient Oriental style very closely. The basis of this old drama is in,: very different from the dramas of the present* time. Although some of the words .--nd choruses are somewhat mod ern, the text of olden time is practically adhered to. The lighter songs contain some very pretty numbers, and the opera resembles In some respects the light ope ras of the present day. with a suggestion of grand opera and the drama proper. The principal roles are in the hands of competent artists who have made a repu tation for themselves in San Francisco, Miss Illume, in the character of a merry young sherherd, shows excellent training ami a phenomenal voice. Mr. A. llloorn at. rehearsals seems a very fra islied artist. The chorus is well trained, and the scenery complete in every detail. King Solomon is the leading character, and will be seen in all bis glory. The Queen of Egypt is the leading feminine role, The melodramatic quantity is fur nished by Adennjah, the brother of the King. Among the oddly interesting peo ple is the King of the Devils. Altogether it is a very quaint but striking produc tion, entirely new in subject and beauti fully and gorgeously equipped, with the clement of novelty running throughout. Edouard Remen.vl It is possible that. Remenyi. the Hunga rian king of the violin, will favor Los An geles with one or more concerts during his early visit to California. There is only one Remenyi, he demonstrated that during his previous visit here about two years ago. He has not only marvel ous technique and a rich sweetness of tone, but the ability to bring out every re source of his instrument. He is the poet of tbe violin—not wholly the poet of senti ment, but the poet of lire and force. Nothing could be more delicious than his performance of tbe canzonetta in Godnrd's concerto, as rendered by him, and no violin playing be more impressive than bis playing of Schubert's Serenade. It is in this composition that he shows his ability as a master of tonal resource. Re menyi has long been a favorite among losers of the violin, occupies a high place arpbng the virtuosi, and wherever he plays a return engagement his audiences give increased admiration for his phenomenal mastery of one of tbo greatest of instru ments. Air. Blair's Departure. Mr. Frederick Blair, the clever and talented young 'cellist whose admirable work is well and favorably known to tho musical people here, leaves Tuesday even ing for Leipsic, whero he will spend two years at least, studying with the 'cello virtuoso and teacher, Klengel. Mr. Blair will stop a few days in Chicago to visit bis parents, and also in New York, from which place be will sail for Europe about the middle of March. Mr. Blair has made inuny warm friends during the year he has spent in Los Angeles, all of whom will regret his departure even while they realize the inestimable good artistically 1 nit the two years in Leipsic will do him. Tbey wish bim bon voyage, and will look oru-nrd with pleasure to his return, for mere is no doubt but. that he will make rapid strides in bis profession. sande Concert.

Mrs. Lillian Fellows-lttinlette will assist. f Musical Notes A t the Teatrn Xizinia, of Alexandria, F.gypt, Verdi's Otello met with a grand success. The Bayreutb authorities have declined the offer of tbeOcsterlein Richard Wagner Museum, for which was demanded DO,OOO marks. Adele A iis dcr Ohr lias just returned from her winter trip, and will lie heard for tbe lirst time this season in New York Friday and Saturday, iv the Philharmonic Soci ety concert, where she will play the Tsdiaikowsky concerto. The fair pianist bad a remarkable success on her last tour, and she will play return engagements in almost every place she appeared. Caesar Thomson expects to leave for Europe in early Marcli. His success in Boston was so enormous that he received a large number of offers for return engage ments. His time being booked so far ahead, however, he can only accept to play a recital in Boston Music Hall Feb ruary 111. He will also be beard again in several matinees in New York before his departure for Europe, Citmpaiiuri was one of the distinct fea tures of the Falstaff production in the Metropolitan Opera House Monday night. His presentation of tbe role of Ford was original and artistic. Although this artist has an excellent offer to appear in London tbis spring it is doubtful whether he will accent, as he lias a number of offers to ap pear in opera and musical festivuls. Some contracts for the latter have already been closed. Mcl La sang in Boston last week with tbe Boston Symphony Orchestra in Music Hall and drew one of the largest houses of the season, long before the beginning of tbe concert tbe "standing room only" sign being displayed. Melba has received a number of oners to appear in concerts all over the country, but her previous en gagements prevent her from accepting any. The great prima donna will sail for Europe at the close of the opera season. She has made arrangements to appear in London with the Sir Augustus Harris Opera Company early in May. Hollman was the instrumental soloist lust Sunday in tbe Metropolitan Opera House concert and made an immense hit. He was called out repeatedly after each of bl/Llolos and had to respond with encores. HtTcertainly may be considered one of the world's greatest 'cellists. Elegance of bowing, brilliant technique, warm and sympathetic tone are his characteristic traits which place him above any other artist of his instrument. Maconda is quickly coming to the front as one of our popular sopranos. She pos sesses a well-cultivated high soprano, which she uses judiciously, and is par ticularly happy in selections requiring flexibility. She sang last week in Mad ison and at a number of musicales in New York, and will be heard this month iv Newark, Paterson and Philadelphia. Kedlands oranges at Althouse Bros. LOS ANf'KLES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1898. SOME NEW YORK FASHIONS Sleeves are still very large, while skirts | gtow more and more voluminous. Almost HO draperies arc seen. These .m*w nktrt > i absolutely require to be lined all through with horse hair to hang well, and tne best dressnmkers arc also inserting two ol" three rows of rial wire, in the hems. Bo it can be easily seen that it is no unusual j thing to have the lining cost more than , the. outride. Eor visiting, :»id al) quasi ceremonious costumes, these skirts arc trimmed in all sorts of ways, sometimes i right around and sometimes down each J seam. The bodice is often ol a different ! material, say of velvet, but with a corse- j let arid wristbands to match the skirt. that there may be no suggestion of "econ- i omy" in the whole. Open-worked em* broldered skirts are seen principally in cloth and other woolen materials. Some ladies line them with colored silk, and others with white silk- Belayeuses are also made'of this same open-worked cloth lined with colored silk, and somteimes silk is worked and lined in the same way j for baluyeuse purposes. Many new French toilettes have con- i trusting bodices or blouses with a box pleat m front, and are fastened at the hack or under the arm; on many this pleat is continued down the skirt. As such corsages may be finished off with yoke or loop trimmings of various shape and make, the fashionable ornamenta tions which take the first place this season are of great value. They are composed ol open embroidery, passementeries, and lace set between ' the stuff, also of trellis like parts cut out of the material itself, always mounted on silk of another, often glaring color or pure white silk. White lace trimmings are embroidered with jet black lace with wax beads and steel span gles. I.reuf shapes have put Eiffel points somewhat in the shade, while tassels, pendants, chains and festoons of white and black lace and embroidery, in fantastic forms, are almost as distingue as single lace medallions and diamond squares of black and dark bugle embroidery. Silk and ribbon give the finishing touch to all these arrangements, the latter often form ing revers on the front of the bodice, and trimming the skirt almost down to the hem, fastened on the right and left side with large bows, lengthwise trimming being greatly in vogue. Word comes from Paris that many of the most fashionable women are selecting cornflower blue as a keynote for their smart toilettes. And apropos of the French capital, the great Doucet is preparing the most ravish ing of tea-gowns and deshabilles. In which the gay mondaines may take a little well earned* rest during their enforced Lenten quietude. The most salient feature of these negliges is the long stole pleat on either side of the front, "falling usually from tiie bust, and very often gathered after it has been pleated in order to re duce the width of the pleat, especially whet* this is both broad and deep. In other respects there is no great novelty in the general outline, and there is in fact very little scope for variety, as the first essential of the dress is that it should be easy, loose, or nearly loose, and falling in soft folds, unbroken by a seam joining the skirt to the bodice', from the neck to the feet. In the ornamentation and de tails of the tea-gowns there are many fas cinating novelties, and no material is too rich or beautiful for the purpose. A lovely gown prepared for a fashion able Parisienne is of copper-colored vel vet, with full front of the palest water blue silk crepe ami deep collar and sleeve ruffles of tinted lace. Black bows on the sleeves and at the waist add a chic touch. The stole pleats in this model are not very deep, and are only slightly gathered where they are joined to a square yoke concealed by the lace collar. The long, sweeping pleats at the back, so becoming to the fig ure, are also mounted on a yoke, thus ob viating the clumsinesss that would result from carrying them up the neck. Another dainty tear jacket destined to be sent to America, is Of chine silk with the ground in a lovely shade of pale green, and opens in front over an accordion pleated plastron and basque of palest pink chiffon; lace flounces fall over the turned back revers, and the sleeves, gathered Up at the seam, are finished off with deep ruffles. The back of the jacket lias a row of tine pleats down the center and at the side seams which run up to the shoulder. A draped collar of chiffon and bows of satin ribbon complete this fascinating garment. A' very lovely tea gown in black and pink striped silk was made with a Wat teatt pleat, and a bertha of black velvet round under this bertha at the neck, the front opened over a full straight robing of pink satin trimmed with lace, joined to a chemisette of pink satin and gathered up at the neck, where the gown was finished off with a full ruche of black lace, pink bows nestling in the folds on either side. The fronts were mounted with box pleats, gathered at the top un der the velvet bertha. In London a new style of dress is now in vogue for dinner and theater wear, and is something like a loose-fronted princess dress; very beautiful materials are em ployed for these gowns, rich silks, satins, brocades and short velvets are the favor ites, and the trimmings consist of elabo rate bead ornamentations, lace and fur, especially ermine. A loose dress in shot copper-colored velvet is made with a blouse front gathered at the neck and finished off with a deep collar of etamine and rust-colored guipure; the bishop sleeves end in deep cuffs of guipure and etamine. Another is pink sat in with a front and cuffs of ermine, und a deep collar of Renaissance guipure falling low over the shoulders. A costume in straw-colored and white broche is made with a loose, full front of lace, cut low and mounted on a band covered with skunk, and trimmed down with red ingote fronts, round the edge ana* on the draped sleeves with fur; and still another lovely gown is in a pinkish ,'shade of dahlia plush, with deep collar and front of ivory satin and guipure appliques. The popularity of the double or the single cape wanes not at all. Indeed, it grows ever and always apace. One lately worn by a fashionable woman was made of the new vicuna cloth in drab, inter woven with pale blue—a fact which was revealed in the top cape, while the under one was lined throughout with squirrel of the best quality, and round the neck was a collar of eh inchilln. 'Pliosc capes for the most part only reach just below the waist, covering the elbows well, anil they are almost as becoming to the short woman as tbey are to her tall sister. Later on we shall probably see them made nf light colors for spring wear and ornamented with cloth appliques or perforated bands.

No more shall meads be decked with (lowers, Nor sweetness dwell in rosy bowers, Nor greenest buds on branches spring, Nor warbling birds delight to sing, Nor April violets paint the grove— If I forsake my Celia's love. The fish shall in the oceans burn. And fountains sweet shall bitter turn; The humblest oak no flood shall know When floods shall highest hills o'erflow; Black Lethe shall oblivion *cave — If e'er my Celia I deceive. Love shall his bow and .-hint lay by, And Venus's dovew wmit wings "to fly ; The sun refuse to show it« light. And. day shall then be turned to night, And in that night no Mar appear— If once 1 leave ray Celia dear. Love shall no more inhabit earth, Kor lovers more shall love f r worth, Nor joy above in heaven dwell, Nor pain torment poor souls in hell, Grim death no more shall horr <\ prove— If e'er I leave bright Celfa's love.

THEIR POINT OF VIEW Several of the present members of Con gress boast of being "self-made men." If they should fail to take a copyright or patent upon their makeup there would be no harm done. There is no likelihood of any infringement by the present genera tion.- -Santa Ana Eveuing made* The salvation of the country for another year is assured, no matter what becomes of the bond scheme of the President. More than one hundred league baseball players have signed contracts for 1895, and providence would never allow the country to go to pieces with these engage ments unfulfilled.—-Arizona Daily Gazette. The winter's experience has been a les son in good roads to Pasadena, bringing out in bright relief the small center of paved streets and showing all the worse by contrast the mud of the adjoining ter ritory. We do not believe that many will be willing to let the good work stop after this little taste of its benefits, and it would seem that an important addition should be made to it before another winter.— I'asadena Evening Star. Fig growing in California has not prov en a profitable industry. The trees grow well, but the ligs are slow in ripening and the curing process in use has been Im perfect and v isatisfactory. Frequent in stances of those who have planted rig trees digging them up to make room for other fruits have been reported by the horticultural exchanges. Except for* home vise, tbe trees should not be planted until some more satisfactory varieties have been found by those who are experiment ing with this fruit.—San Diego Dnion. If it is absolutely necessary for the hanks to have; bonds - if it is necessary to the "national honor" to have a gold re serve, ami to issue bunds to the extent of two hundred or live hundred millions, why not, at the same time, open the mints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver?

Instead of one frost the orange belts of the South have had a half dozen. What of the citrus fruit that was left unkilled by the tirst visitation the East published up in great shape? California will now dominate the orange market and balloon prices will be paid for oranges, good, bad ami indifferent. Unfortunately for Ari zona her orange orchards are not suffi ciently forward to cut much iigure in the market, but in a few years more Califor nia will have to wake up or get left.— Arizona Daily Citizens. NOTES ABOUT WOMEN Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, at 7-' i, has re tired from* the lecture platform, upon which, for fifty years, she has labored so energetically. One of the most entertaining persons in London at present is Miss Lillian Morntt, whose amazing memory permits her to play a game of checkers, dominoes and Napoleon at the same time. She sits blindfolded and calls off the moves with out hesitation lo her attendants. Mrs. Beerbohm Tree, the gifted wife of the English actor, is not only an accom plished actor, but a deep st udent of mat ters other than theatrical. She is very [ond of Greek and Latin, and is said to read Creek as well as English.

THE CALHOUN OHERA COMPANY Manager Shunk, E. D. Shaw and K. G. Conrad are all in the city arranging for the near appearance of the Calhoun Opera Company, whioh will be seen at the Los Angeles Theater this year, vastly improved and strengthened. £ The repertory will consist of the ster ling works, Amorita, by Ozebulka, and The (Hack fcfuzzar, hy Milloecker. The company consist s almost entirely of new people. Miss Laura Millard, prima donna soprano, and Mr. Douglas Flint, the basSo-c'omtque, are all that are loft or the old association as it was seen here last year. The new people are all well known leaders in their line, including the baritone, Mr. T. .1. Kowan, jr., son of ex- Mayor Rowan, who has achieved a most notable success since he became, a profes sional about a year ago. This company, though less than three years old, has already taken front rank among the lyric organizations of America. During the life of Emma Abbott, her annual appearance was anxiously antici pated, and her death left no worthy ex ponent of this, at once most charming and attractive form of entertainment. Believing that the public would rally to the support of an equally meritorious company the Calhoun Opera Company was organized, and its' cordial reception abundantly testifies to the wisdom of the management and the universal interest in this form id' entertainment. The principals and chorus have been selected with a view to artistic lyrical unity. The operas will he superbly mounted and staged. The costumes have been prepared from the original plates made hy Hamilton Hell and Dazian of New York, at an expense of over ten thousand dollars for each opera, and in richness of material, beauty ot design and harmony of color have never been sur passed. A well balanced and effective orchestra is carried, as are the company's calcium and electric effects. Tin; appearance of such an organisattoa will unquestionably prove the social <md musical event of the season.
