part ni Music Notes THH Lambardl opera company, which will open an engagement of one week here In the Mason opera house Mondfly. February 21, an nounces the following repertoire: Monday—"La Gioconda," Madame El vira Bosettl, Sigs. Maurlnl and Maggl. Tuesday—"ll Trovatore," Madame Adabcrto, Dolores Frau and Slg. Scala brini. . Wednesday matinee—"La Gioconda." Wednesday night—"Lucia," Isabella de Plate and Hlg. Nadal. Thursday—"Ma-Jame Butterfly," with Marina CalVt. Friday—"Faust," Ester Adaberto and Slsrs. Maurino and Maggi. Saturday evening—"Cavalleria Rusti lly." Saturday evening—"Cavellerla Rustl cana" and "I'Pagliaici," with Seala brlni and Angelo Antolo. Many of these singers aro already familiar figures upon the local operatic stage and they will be assured of a warm welcome from old friends, while the new soloists, of whom Mr. Barry speaks In the most confident manner as to voice and dramatic power, will have a fair chance to win laurels and friends from tho appreciative audience which Is assured Signor Lambardi's attraction. Of the new singers, Interest will cen ter perhaps in lime. Calvi, for whose Butterfly tho most generous praise has been given in eastern productions. Isabelle de Frate, one of the younger stars, is a colorature singer for whom high praise is offered. Attllio Maurini, lyric tenor, wiii make liis first bow to a Los Angeles audience this year, as will Giovanni Nadal. Of the baritones in the company, Guiseppo Maggl is promised to be one of the best, and with the ever ready and versatile Antola the baritone roles should be adequately filled. The list of operas to be aung seems ■ very short and it is doubtful If local playgoers, remembering the magnif icent production of "La Boheme" given by this company last year, will be content to do without it this season. "Carmen." too, finds no place on this list of operas, although Dolores Frau last year gave a,telling rendition of tho name part, and with Antolo and some one of the new tenors there are op portunities for an exceptional cast. The productions which Signor Lam bardi offered last year are pleasantly remembered, and if singers and casts are up to the same satisfactory stan dard so well maintained last year the company may bo assured of constant and enthusiastic patronage and the audiences of good, honest singing, many examples of rare dramatic feeling and chorus and stagelng generally ade quate. With grand opera so rare a pleasure for Los Angeles theatergoers, it seems that one week is to be all too short for the satisfaction of a music hungry clientele, and It would be welcome news indeed to learn of an extension of the engagement or of the verifica- tion of rumors regarding a return en gagement of longer duration. Through the hearty co-operation of the many friends of young Ralph Gins burg, and those who enjoy seeing Los Angeles genius assisted, his debut concert next Thursday evening prom ises to be one of the most successful of local concerts. , -- -*- Owing to the severe illness of Bruce Gordon Kingsley, the well known lee ture-recitalist, the school children's concert has been postponed for two weeks and is now scheduled for Feb ruary 24 in Simpson auditorium. . . ■ ■ .■•— ♦'; .! - The fifth Symphony orchestra con cert of the season will have for soloist Mme.

BADGERS GATHER IN MIDWINTER PICNIC FORMER RESIDENTS OF WIS CONSIN HOLD ANNUAL Enjoyable Day Passed in Delightful Sycamore Grove While Frost Days Still Prevail Back Home Plenty of shade and water for the big Badgers and bushels of ice cream cones for the little Badgers Induced about 4000 members of the Wisconsin association to attend the annual picnic In Sycamore grove yesterday. If some- one had read the Declaration of Inde pendence it would have been just like the Fourth of July celebrations back east—or back middle west. And every body talked of the cold breezes that were frisking across the fields back home. Joseph D. Radford, president of the association, had charge of tho exer cises. It was his duty to tell tho cold weather story of the day. He narrated, unblushingly and confident of the fullest faith among his hearers, the adven tures of a Wisconsin carpenter, who, it seems, was putting a roof on his own house. After having nailed a shingle upon one of the cross slats he found It out of line and moved It, drawing the shingle nail from its place and moving it to a spot where it would do some good. The winter season came, and, according to President Radford, be it understood, the wife of the car penter morning after morning was obliged with a shovel to dig her hus band out of the snow that had sifted through the shingle nail Jiole. Music was furnished by the Veteran Fife and Drum corps and Mlbb Ethel Pearl Mitchell, cornetlst. Phllo D. Case, "the drummer boy of Shiloh," beat the long roll call just as he beat it "that Sunday morning at Shiloh." Among the speakers were Mrs. Louis A. Gould, president of the Los Angeles Badger club; Mrs. Elizabeth B. Bohan, Judge H. H. Rose and John R. New berry. B. M. Lawrence read his own para phrase on "Lincoln at Gettysurg." The association elected the following officers for the coming year: President, J. D. Radford; secretary, F. H. True; treasurer, G. J. Webster. PROMINENT CANADIAN DEAD Henry George Broderlck, who came to Los Angeles ten duys ago from St. Thomas, Ont., to avoid the rigors of a Canadian winter, died yesterday at 2097 West Twenty-ninth place, his death be ing caused by pneumonia. Mr. Brod erick would have been 74 years old next Wednesday. He was taken ill on the sectind day after arriving in Los Angeles.

To Keep the Hair Light and Fluffy (From Chicago Inter Ocean) The proper care of the hair does not require a woman to scour her scalp with soap and drench her hair with water until a shampoo, including dry ing the hair, takes the better part of the day. In fact, authorities say that the less soap and water used on the hair the better, as the alkali and moisture tend to make the hair coarse, dull and brittle. If you want to keep the scalp clean and the hair light and fluffy, try dry shampooing. Put in a quart jar, or any other handy container, tour ounces of powdered orris root and four ounces of therox. Stir and shake until thor oughly mixed. A beautiful cleansing powder with a delicate perfume will be the result. Sprinkle a tablespoonful of this mix ture on the head and then brush it well through the hair. This brings out the natural color of the hair, makes it soft and glossy, and if continued | regularly, tends to make the hair long ] and abundant, for it is a natural hair grower. 25c Shampooing TgSH 15c halrdrexlng-, manlourln*. facial ma»«ag« In college dep't In Graduate dep't.
