VAST AUDIENCE IS CHARMED BY ART OF SCHUMANN-HEINK Celebrated Contralto Will Sing Here Following Unprecedented Ovation Tendered to Her by San Francisco Music Lovers. !o V MME. SCHUMANN-HEINK. who sings at the auditorium tomor row night, direction of Steers & Coman. Redfern Mason of the San Francisco Examiner of December 28 says: "Madame Schuraann-Heink turned her back on her audience. But she i did so because there was another audience on the stage. However, it is a well-made back, and, If not so eloquent as Bernhardt's, It belongs to a woman whom we all love. "The Century was packed to the doors, and people and diva and Ar thur Loesser, the accompanist, were happy as could be. "And, by the way, the word accom panist Is Inadequate to describe Loes ser's excellencies. "Schuman-Heink 'gave a splendid recital. Never have we heard her sing Brahms' 'Mainacht' better, or "Heln denrosleln' with more artful sugges tlveness. "Madame's idea seemed to be to give each of her admirers something that was dear to him or her. So she sang 'Der Wanderer' and 'When the Roses Bloom,' the former in German, the latter in English. "We half wish she had stuck to the original in both cases, but Madame's linguistic limitations are of the kind that endear her to you, and even if you didn't understand the words which, however, you always do you would Sever miss the sentiment. "For Schumann-Heink is not only a singer; she Is an artist of the stage. She showed that In the 'Erlkonig, which she sang as an encore."- CUR T DISCHARGES EVICTED 1 m LUMBER RATE APPROVED Railways of New England Concur in Southern Pacific Cut. i The rate of 90 cents the hundred on lumber from Pacific coast points to New England territory, except to points on the New York, New Haven & Hartford, the Bangor & Aroostock and the Maine Central railroads, re cently announced, has .been concurred in by the New Haven railroad to points on its lines, according to J.
