I'ART in Music Notes Florence Bosard Lawrence AFTER ai week of triumphs, the I Lambardl opera company last night sang the great double bill of "Cavalleria Rusticana" and "I Pagli acci" to an audience which filled the Mason theater. Both these operas are strong with the humanity that Is in all of us. .Emotions common to everyone find simple, straightforward expression both musically and dramatically, and men and women love and hate and have their revenge with an earnestness and conviction which make them seem pardonable. Both Mascagnl and Leoncavollo have written music about these themes which - accentuate every phase, and communicate with wonderful intensity the spirit of the situation to the appre ciative listener. Interpreted by such a cast as that of last night, there Is no note ln our sensibilitiee which is not played upon with marvelous skill and touched to re sponsiveness by the magic of beautiful voices in music which quickens every fiber of our being. Tlie part of Santuzza is one in which some of the greatest prima donnas of / \. the period have achieved their first V fame, but no more ideal Impersonation f\-. of the character can be imagined than I^l that of Mme. Bosettl last night. Her ■V . dramatic work has already been noted, W\ but in her opening appearance here on \ \ Monday night she evinced no such vo i\ 11 possibilities as those with which I \, _ astonished and delighted her listen !\ last night. Her voice attained that t. /mpleteness of sound in which the overtone is constantly apparent, and throughout the long difficult part this quality so constantly sought and so rarely heard was evidenced. Brilliant as was the work of Madame Bosettl, she was not.alone in tha suc cess of the opera, for Jlme. A. Glana sang the part of Lola with unexpected ability and a beauty of voice and free dom of delivery which shows marked advancement over anything she has ever done here before. Graceful and pretty, lt is possible for tills young singer to go far in the next few years if she continues to study and improve ''with the results noted in the last year, Mme. A. Bugamelli sang Mama Lucia with her accustomed reliability and P. L\ Bugamelli was cast as Alfio, giving an 1 adequate and at times fairly brilliant :. performance. Scalabrini sang in both bills and de serves the highest commendation for - his work in both parts. As Turiddu he was indifferent, nonchalant and happy go-lucky, going even to his death with only a moment's hesitation and a song on his lips. His scene with Santuzza and Lola was excellent and he sang • his songs, especially the drinking song, with tremendous vitality and verve, which elicited "bravos" and demands for tin encore. ; As Canlo he played the role less quietly perhaps than one might wish, but still with a restraint which was much more admirable than too wild a passion. He sang his big song in the , first act with splendid power and woke i'to a quicker realization of his oppor ! tunities in the tragic finale of the opera. ) Esther Adaberto sang Nedda, and looked a beautiful one indeed, as she J " danced and sang while the volcano of ' J hatred and desperation was boiling In /(Carlo's heart. The beautiful quality //" and charm of this singers vocalization // were realized to the utmost last night, // and called forth warm applause from ' I an enthusiastic and approving audl 1/ ence. . ". _ 'I Angelo Antola, long a reigning favor- I ite as Tonio, displayed his fine his / trionic power in the role, and acted and f sang it with the best possible effect. His rendition of the prologue was a magnificent effort, and despite his hav ing sung in the afternoon in "Madam Butterfly," he responded to the demand for an encore, achieving the almost im possible feat of a second equally splen did song. ■ ■■."' --& The productions of both operas are W good, and the chorus and orchestra / maintained consistently the reputa / tion for good work which-they have ' already established. Eduardo Lebegott directed. . ' It is definitely announced that the company will return for another week within a short time. Then Manager Berry has promised that "La Boheme" shall be sung if there are enough re quests for It. All those who remember the magnificent production of this opera which was made last year will undoubtedly voice an immediate vote for "Boheme.*' "Iris," long promised, Is also one of the possibilities of the next engagement, and probably "La Tosca" as well as other more familiar works. !■• ■ The return of these singers will be awaited" with pleasant anticipations, for the earnest and artistic work which has distinguished the productions this week has established the company upon' a plane much higher than any thing they have-accomplished in previa ous visits. .. -..- .'- -... -*- ■ Musical affairs for March show lit tle signs of decreasing, either in qual ity or number. Among the announce ments sent In from the Behymer bu reau are these: On Tuesday evening, March ;8, Tillie Koenen, the famous Dutch contralto, will be heard at Simpson auditorium.

A MAY music festival with tremen dous choruses, great symphony orchestra and soloists of interna tional renown, whether or not of local residence, are features which the di rectors of the festival arrangements are now considering. The project has been gradually tak ing shape ever since its Inauguration last December and will undoubtedly develop into ono of the great suc cesses for which Los Angeles is be- ( coming famous. . The executive board represents the Gamut club and the chamber of com merce, and a governing body composed of representatives of these associa tions and professions: Merchants and Manufacturers' association, the Or pheus club, Ellis, Dominant Lyric, Treble Clef, Friday Morning, Ebell and Ruskln art clubs from the Los Angeles Center of American Music society, the board of education, teachers of music in the high school, polytechnic high and the grammar grades, and from other musical organizations, mercantile bodies and influential citizens. - • It is evident from this that every field will bo touched and every person reached ln this great musical achieve ment. . • The benefit of such an affiliation of musical Interests will prove of untold benefit and perhaps not the least hope ful prospect. is that with tho organiza tion of the great chorus the various singing organizations of the city will finally form some choral . association for the purpose of giving two or more oratorios here each year. ■■—-.' With the biff symphony orchestra in better form than it has ever been, and with an auditorium most suitable for the production of works with a big chorus. It is one of the lamentable I fetaures of musical conditions here that there is no oratorio society. L. E. Bchymer, general • manager of I afternoon, the 19th, at Simpson audi torium. Myrtle Elvyn, a Chicago pianist, will be heard in two recitals. The evening of Monday, March 21, and afternoon of the 22d, Maud Powell, one of the greatest of women violinists is scheduled for two recitals. . On Sunday evenings the Baumgardt European travelogues and easy-chair Journeys are announced at Blanchard's hall. All the leading churches promise Easter programs worthy of mention, and rehearsals are now on for the va rious choirs. - . ■-.:. On Fdiray, April 1, the sixth and last Symphony concert—a Wagner program —will be given at the auditorium. ■■ The Ellis club is scheduled for Tues day, the 19th, and the Flonzaley Cham ber Music quartet is due the same month. -_- The final vocal recital of this season will be g-ievh on March 8 in Simpson auditorium, when Mr. Behymer pre sents to the Pacific coast and patrons of music in this city the famous Tilly Koenen, Dutch contralto of renown in Europe. Miss Koenen's position on the continent and in England is undisput ed, and her coming to the Pacific coast this season Is something which the patrons of the best in music should ap preciate. We are not wont to hear the big singingl stars during their first American tour. . .< Of Dutch parentage, she was born on the island of Java, but received her early education and musical equipment at The Hague. It was from this capi tal city that her first concert tour was planned; it was here also two years ago that she sang for the young queen 'of Holland and was decorated for her work. This year before leaving for America ' it was Miss Koenen's good fortune to be "commanded" to appear before the queen again, and as tho meeting was Informal the queen took from her own corsage a Jewel of extra ordinary value and gave It to Miss Koenen. . • ■ - The Koenen program is given in de tail below, as many of the numbers to be presented are new to patrons of the recital stage: . "Dem Unendllchen" (Schubert). "Die Krahe" (Schubert). "Sappischo Ode" (Brahms). "Wehe so Wlllst Dv" (Brahms). "La Zlngerella" (Palslello). "Ah So Tv Dorml" (Bassanl). "Rldonamt la Culma" (Tostl). "Furibondo Sprla 11 Vento" (Handel). "Sunbeams" (Landon Ronald). "Baby" (Malllnson). ■ Three Dutch children. songs— "Kyjk goon • lustig spannolje." "Poppengedoe, ••Een Dansje." (Catherina van Rennes). "Wlegenlled" (Richard Strauss). "DI. wusserrose" (Richard Straus*). :.. v "Die Zigeuuerln" (Hugo Wolf). "Ur Ist's" (Hugo Wolf). ' s> - BR Baumgardt announces that he will again start his series of beauti fully illustrated easy chair Journeys, where a bargain counter trip to Europe and back may bo secured every Sun day evening, beginning next Sunday evening. ■• -. Manager Behymer has arranged for the large Blanchard hall for the Baum gardt lectures this year. It is large and commodious, where , comfortable seats may be secured for every; one, and as the inaugural of the • Baum gardt talks will, be given a subject of daily, or rather nightly Interest to the LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 27, 1010. the festival, says that the committees have suggested this scheme for the financing of the project. The plan for raising the $10,000 required for carry ing out the festival association plans calls for tho sale of 1000 shares at the face value of $10, subscribers to bo held responsible only to the extent, of their subscription, 25 per cent to be paid down at the time of subscribing, 25 per cent thirty days afterward and the remaining 50 per cent thirty days' before the opening of the festival. Each subscriber to have the option of receiving back at the end of the > tlval and the report of the finance committee a proportionate amount of their subscriptions not used for festi- val purposes; such proportion to be determined, if there Is any loss, and the sale of seats not sufficiently large to meet the disbursement by an audit ing committee, or such an amount over and above. if the subscribers prefer, to remain as a sinking fund for the carrying out of future festival plans. The sale of seats as planned by the association, if all were sold, would amount to one and a half times the entire cost, and It Is believed by those in charge that the subscribers will re ceive back in full all such moneys ad vanced. Among those Interested in the move ment are Dr. Norman Bridge, chair man finance committee; Prof. A. J. Stamm, chairman program committee; Miss Cora Foy on subscription com mittee; Fielding Stilson, Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. William Jamison, Mrs. Chick, Mr. Geisler, Mr. Sayler, Walter Raymond, George Derby, W. C. Patterson, C. F. Edson, Mrs. C. Modlni-Wood, Joseph Scott, Sam T. Clover, Professor Fo shay, Frank J. Hart, W. D. Stephens, Willis Booth, L. E. Bohymcr, C. A. El der, Miss Stone, and others who alone should assure the success of this move ment. L. E. Behymer has been se lected as the cenoral manager. people of this country— approach of Halley's comet. This is to be a popular talk, superbly illustrated with data compiled since Halley's comet last appeared in 1883 down to the present time. The travelogues to follow will be "Switzerland the Beautiful," "Venice the Superb," "The Castles and Legends of the Rhine," and many other sub jects treated only as Professor Baum gardt can treat them. There will be a season ticket price and plenty of cheap seats. Sunday night.is selected as the proper time to hold these lectures for the convenience of many who are Interested in them. The second subscription concert of the Flonzaley Chamber Music quartet was given in New York several weeks ago, against the opening of the much discussed opera, "Elektra," and the large and enthusiastic audience was one of the finest compliments that could be paid this sterling quartet's work and showed clearly the esteem in which they are held in New York. Their concert in this city, which will be some time during April, is regarded with pleasant anticipations by the lov ers of this delightful and elevating form of pure music. With the final Carreno concert In this city, or rather in Southern Cali fornia a few days ago, arrangements were made for the appearance here of Ceclle Chaminade, the famous and charming French composer and pian ist, who took New York by storm on her visit there last year..

The "Suite Antique," ,by Lucchesi, Schoenfeld's "Grand Festival March" and "Characteristic March." Freder ick Stevenson's "Queen Mab" and Pemberton's "Reverie" for string or chestra have already been played, and this season will see the presentation at the next Symphony concert, March 11, of Mason's "Overture in F Minor." This is fully up to the high standard which Mr. Mason has already set for himself in previous works, "Grand Polonaise," "Symphony Overture" and the lyric piece for strings, all of which have been heard in orchestral con certs. The presence of so ambitious and scholarly a musician is a distinct advantage to our city, and recognition from the managers of the Symphgny orchestra Is an encouraging sign of growth In our own musical self-con fidence and esteem. ; , . The Woman's Lyric club will 'be heard in concert Friday evening, March 11, at Simpson auditorium. Frederick Stevenson's beautiful "Viennese Sere nade" and "The Legend of Granada," a cantata in true Spanish style, by Henry Hadley, are among the num bers to be presented. The club will be assisted by Harry C. Lott, baritone; , Leroy Jepson, tenor; Ludwlg Opid, 'cello; Miss Myrtle Oueliet, harp, and Oscar Selling, violin. From among club members Miss Willie Smyser has been chosen for solo work. Mrs. Ada Marsh Chick will furnish organ accom paniments. With Miss O'Donoughue at the piano and Mr. Poulin directing a very enjoyable concert may be ex pected. PLAN TESTS OF AIRSHIP MOTORS AERO CLUB MEMBERS WORK AT MOTORDROME Invention by Frank A. Garbutt Wlll Be Given to Public if Success ful Automatic Stabil. Ity Sought Experiments with engines probably will be the first thing tried out by the Aero club jef California in its new ex periment field at the Los Angeles mo tordrome at Playa del Rey. Engines arc the things needed, and so far there have been few successful machines built. Frank A. Garbutt has designed a ro tating engine with nine cylinders which he believes will be successful, and he is now constructing parts and hopes to have an engine built in three weeks and then give it a thorough test. Garbutt has his own opinions about engines, and is planning a series of ex periments so that he can test his new invention thoroughly berore it is used on an aeroplane. He proposes to find out by electric dynamo measurements , how much horsepower it will require to run the engine itself, how much is used up in Its rotations in the air, and how much it is able to produce when ope rated to its full capacity. Then he will apply its own power and measure its development. These experiments will be conducted by Mr. Garbutt and tho club as soon as the engine can be put together. Sim ilar tests will be made with other en gines. There are three new types for airships being built here and in Pasa dena, and they should be ready for offi cial tests within two or three weeks. As far as Garbutt is concerned, all his experiments will be published for the good of the science of aeronautics, it being his plan to develop all knowledge possible instead of making a mystery out of it lor commercial purposes. Ho is actuated by the belief that whatever Is invented should be put to use as quickly as opssible. After engines, propellers will be tack led. An engine may have all kinds of power, but If the propellers are not pitched properly or fail to develop "thrust," the work of the engine goes for naught. Very few propellers to date are successful, and even if the maker happens to hit upon tho proper shape the construction often is faulty with the result that the propeller de velops serious defects or fails to stand the strain required. . Automatic Stability Sought Tho groat feature to be studied and which opens a wide field for research Is stability, or the maintaining of equi librium. Automatic • stability is the much desired end of all experiments, and when once discovered or invented will mark an epoch in the construction and use of aeroplanes. The suit of the Wright brothers foi an injunction against Paulhan and Cur tlss, to prohibit the use of ailerons, which have the same effect in balancing an aeroplane as the warping system invented and patented by the Wrights, has made it necessary for the inven tion of a new method of maintaining stability, if others besides the Wrights expect to bo able to continue flights. To this end the club members will lend their efforts, and It is believed that some way can be devised to ac complish equilibrium other than the j methods already In use and covered by the patent of the Wrights. One of the principal features of, aero plane construction is locating the cen ter of gravity so that the machine is balanced when aviator and supplies are loaded. If tills is obtained it is up to the aviator to maintain his bal ance by his fore and aft stability—that is, tho elevator in front and the tail— and his lateral stability with the aile rons. . •■'- ■ Proper construction is absolutely nec essary, and all proportions must be well worked out beforehand or the machine will tip one way or the other and likely smash. The several accidents to the Glll-Dosh machine at tho aviation meet wero due largely to defects in balance, as it was hard to control the aeroplane in alighting. . > "_ ■ '■' H. LaV. Twining, president of . the Aero club !of ■ California, will confer with Mr. Garbutt this week and work out the former's suggestions into a defi nite plan for action. Jack Prince, who Is constructing the motordrome, is to put up the aeroplane building as soon as progress on the motordrome itself will permit. * ' - _ V; The structure is to be 600 feet . long and forty feet wide, and will have par titions so that those having machines _4__r (P C A saved _3 ___ __ *__ II ON YOUR 4HP _p _/U PIANO _*____! ___^_5 Not h y a s -stem of cut (?)

There after if there is sufficient development the course planned for the outside of the track will be laid out and trials will be made. .. One of the conditions on which the Motordrome company signed the con tract was that the public should be permitted to witness free all experi ments, provided there was no interfer ence with the work, and except on such days as exhibitions are held. Regular test days will be named at which the Aero club will attend in a body.
