FAMOUS SINGERS COMING TO ANAHEIM MATZENAUER TO BE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM OCTOBER 10 Other Musicians of World Fame Scheduled to Appear During the Winter and Spring—Inter-Club Musical Association Providing for This City the Best Entertainment Money Can Buy. Matzenauer, world-famous contralto, she of "the voice of gold and royal purple," is to appear in concert at Anaheim. This announcement electrified thousands of music lovers throughout Orange county. The fact that this rewhich has not been attempted in the Rnited States since 1876, when Hans von Buelow presented the cycle. The manner in which Madame Samaroff performed this gigantic music feat, was responsible for the unanimous verdict of the most severe critics and the most fastidious audiences that "the mantle of Teresa Carreno has fallen upon her shoulders" Tickets are on sale and seats are reserved at the Danz Piano company store, where the Ebell club ladies who are handling the ticket sale have their headquarters. Tickets for the entire course are $5.50, which includes reserved seats. Single concert tickets will be $2.50 but it is doubtful if there will be many single concert tickets available after the season ticket sale, as the seating capacity of the high school auditorium is limited. CARGO OF SCOTCH SELLING AT HALF PRICE Canadian Ship Doing Thriving Business Off the Coast Fifty miles north-by-west of Los Angeles harbor there lies at anchor the main reason, Scotch whisky in that city has taken a sudden drop from $150 per case to $80, retail. She is a four-masted topsail schooner, flying the British ensign, and riding at anchor in twenty-seven fathoms of water in the lee of a rocky island, while the northeast trades go howling by. Under the blazing sun by day and the fitful glare of kerosene torches by night, her crew is busy as bees, bottling and labelling the finest of old Scotch whisky that never saw Perth, Inverness of Loch Leven. "It's a bit green, but the genuine stuff," an Angeleno will tell you as he proudly displays the familiar label of a famous brand, of which he has cases or so. It goes to truck.

In a nowned singer was to appear in this section was looked upon as one of the outstanding events in the county's musical history. The famous prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera company, will sing in the beautiful new auditorium of the Anaheim high school on the night of October 10. This will be the opening event in a winter course of entertainment planned by the Inter-club Musical association of Anaheim. This organization is headed by Romaine Berger, president. C. George Hedstrom is secretary. "November 19," Berger explained, "the famous Philharmonic orchestra of Los Angeles will give a concert at the Anaheim high school. In March we will offer Reinold Werrenrath, America's foremost concert baritone. Later in the spirng Olga Samaroff, one of the great masters of the piano, will give a recital." "This is truly an imposing array of talent. One hundred representative citizens of Anaheim have become guarantors for the musical course. The winter's concerts are being brought to Anaheim at an expense of more than $4000. Tickets for the entire course will cost but $5.50." The course will open here with Madame Matzenauer, of whom it is said that there is not a singer, nor, for that matter, any artist on the American concert stage today, about whose work the critics are so unanimous in enthusiastic praise. She is heralded as "the woman with the voice of gold and royal purple." No matter whether she appears in grand opera, as soloist with the great symphony orchestra, or in recital, the men whose daily task it is to judge the greatest singers of the world at all times agree that here is a voice of phenomenal power, of unique range and of soul penetrating quality that defies description. Under the blazing sun by day and the fitful glare of kerosene torches by night, her crew is busy as bees, bottling and labelling the finest of old Scotch whisky that never saw Perth, Inverness of Loch Leven. "It's a bit green, but the genuine stuff," an Angeleno will tell you as he proudly displays the familiar label of a famous brand, of which he has just acquired a case or two. The label's the thing, and there hangs the story. The windjammer, when visited a week ago, had on board 12,000 barrels plus 4000 cases of new Canadian whisky, "a bit green, but the genuine stuff," distilled in the dominion of Canada during this year of Volstead, 1923. In the after holds of the schooner are perhaps 200,000 brand new labels of famous brands. They are all there. Bottles are also aboard, of every size and odd shape to fit the brand the customer wants. This, then, is the yarn: Bootleggers, the only law-breakers in the deal, learn the wants of a customer in Los Angeles, Hollywood or Pasadena. That night, or, more likely, the next day, a dingy fishing boat puts out around breakwater light and heads up-channel with the bootlegger and his order aboard. When darkness falls again the little craft comes rolling into port and docks, well laden, in a well-known slip at Los Angeles harbor. She discharges a cargo of whisky, sometimes 100 seconds off the mile. W Paddock who holds records in the sprints will Morris Kerksey, ford university star.

California Theatre ANAHEIM Thursday, Sept. 27 VAUDEVII 5 Big Acts of High Class Vaudeville Richard Talmadge in "Putting the critics are so unanimous in enthusiasm praise. She is heralded as "the woman with the voice of gold and royal purple." No matter whether she appears in grand opera, as soloist with the great symphony orchestra, or in recital, the men whose daily task it is to judge the greatest singers of the world at all times agree that here is a voice of phenomenal power, of unique range and of soul penetrating quality that defies description. The Philharmonic orchestra is the second number of the course. This celebrated organization is too well known in Anaheim to need any further introduction. Hundreds of Anaheim and Orange county people are enthusiastic in their praise of the various selections and the manner in which they are given. In the spring Werrenrath and Samaroff will appear. Reinald Werrenrath is heralded by critics as the foremost American baritone of the present day. Besides, he is one of the most interesting personalities among the artists now before the public and one of the most popular singers this country has ever possessed. Werrenrath was fortunate in his family. On either side, for generations back, is an unbroken line of talented musicians from whom he inherited the finest and best musical traditions. Madame Olga Samaroff, recognized in the past as one of the world's greatest masters of the keyboard, won her right to undisputed place in the very front rank by the accomplishment last season of the unique and monumental musical task of playing the entire series of the 32 sonatas by Beethoven—an undertaking of inestimable artistic importance and educational value. ANAHEIM GAZETTE cases or so. It goes to the consumer by truck. The booze, the bottles and the labels are all out ther on the schooner. Just like the corner druggist mixes a doctor's prescription, the crew of the Britisher mix their wares, whisky, in the proper bottle and the right label on the outside. It saves a lot of time and trouble of bringing liquor out from the tight little isle and besides, the customers always appear satisfied. "What they don't know," the skipper said, "don't hurt 'em." ATHLETIC CONTEST AT THE LEGION CONVENTION Noted Champions to Take Part in the Games Prominent athletes from all parts of the country will participate in the American Legion's Olympic games to be held at the national convention in San Francisco, October 15-19, according to legion national officials who recently announced the program for the meet. Nearly fifty events have been included in the program, which will embrace a track and field meet, aquatic sports, golf, tennis and rifle tournaments and exhibitions of baseball, basketball, football, boxing and wrestling. Jole Ray, "miler," will try to regain his record for that distance beaten by an athlete of Sweden who clipped two seconds off the mile record Charles W Paddock who holds most world's records in the sprints will compete as will Morris Kerksey, a Leland Stanford university star. Thirty-six medals, four cups and numerous trophies will be awarded to the winners of swimming and diving contests. The golf tournament will attract many legionnaires who have taken part in national competitions, it is believed. In a number of states, COMMON SENSE VS. PANIC What is the world coming to, anyway? What queer and awful element, or combination of elements, is at work to bring about the series of disasters and tragedies, large and small, that is making the daily news of this time one vivid record of human misfortune—near at home and abroad? There are hundreds of people here who are asking these questions, in casual, daily conversation, and they are certainly some who seriously believe that some new thing has come upon the earth, changing life and life's probabilities. There is a certain horror in the thought that some malignant force is at work now upon the coincidence of misfortunes that apears to afflict the orient; the Balkans, the klan-ridden state of Oklahoma, and the fire-swept forests and towns of the Pacific slope. This horror has its appeal to sensational minds, and brings actual fright to the unintelligent who fear its close approach. Because the disaster in Japan was so colossal, and because it originated in forces so profound and obscure that no man can speak with assurance of its causes, there is a general tendency to connect all these other disasters with that great one. To some people this may sound ridiculous, yet anyone who is acquainted with "what people are talikng about" has first-hand knowledge of this tendency. Some folks even profess to believe that the eclipse of the sun had something to do with it—that because the sun's light was hidden from certain parts of the earth by the passing shadow of the moon, all the ear hand the earth forces were thereby greatly disturbed, lending their powers to the destruction of human lives and human security. Now, opinions of this sort may not be very intelligent. They may rest only upon forebodings and "hunches" material upon which a wise man would hardly bet a couple of dollars on a race horse. Yet the fact remains that the spread of this sort of general opinion is often a powerful force in the world. It is the stuff of which panics are made. So far, it is true, this panic material is not in shape to do much damage. Very few people pay serious attention to the vague opinions now casually circulating, and even the inevitable "predictions" of the professional fortune-tellers and clairvoyants—enterprising capitalizing a state of public opinion for the purposes of self-adverting—fall to give the general public any very sizeable "kick." However, forewarned is forearmed. It is possible that if coincidence should bring one or two more serious calamities upon the world while the aftermath of the past still seems to ominous, a wide state of panic might arise. There are enough unintelligent people—and, unfortunately, enough cheap newspapers catering to such people—to cause such at hing to happen. There have been instances where epidemics of disease or outbreaks of race rioting, or similar public disturbances, have been insanely magnified. and so foolishly whole great error. Such a preemptive attitude world's trout sense to insults are may be remedied vented by my natural disaster that maurice of natural harbor that has ophius may se earthquake. In the maurice fire careless their minds lessly are bury our troubles panic-strike master list.

B.—A special committee of the Ebell Club, M. at the Danz Piano Co., has season tickets on sale at Austin Music Co., Danz Piano Co., Hammel's Music S and so foolishly treated as to cause a whole great city to react in silly terror. Such a state of mind is not impossible in a great nation, in these days when rapid communication may be used to knit public opinion temporarily into the same pattern. It is the part of common sense, then, to preserve an ordinary intelligent attitude toward the history of the world's troubles. It is only common sense to insist that most of our troubles are man-made, and can therefore be remedied and in the future prevented by man. Even when great natural disasters are considered, remember that man is cutting down the list of natural scourges. The long fight that has conquered cholera and typhus may sometime protect us from earthquakes and tidal waves. In the meanwhile, people who use fire carelessly and people who use their minds and their mouths carelessly are bringing about the most of our troubles. Getting superstitious or panic-stricken will only add to the disaster list. NEW SCHEDULE FOR DRUNKS Judge Leo Goepper announced a new rate card for drunks. "For the protection of Santa Ana," Judge Goepper said, "I find it necessary to increase the fine for drunks, first offense, from $10 to $20; second offense to $50; thereafter jail." Since his arrival at Santa Ana from Newport Beach to fill the city recorder's office during the absence of Col. W. F. Heathman, now on a sixty-day vacation, Judge Goepper has waged a war against drunkenness. His first edict was to the effect that he would recommend confinement of habitual drunkards in a public institution for the insane. A fitting subject has not appeared yet to test the judge's ultimatum. In announcing his new fine schedule for drunks, the judge said experience taught him that a city waging war against public intoxication soon was relieved of the unlawful practice. "Judge Byron Hall, city recorder at Newport, recently changed his fine schedule for drunks. He had been filing them $10. He found, however, according to his report to me, that persons in nearby cities where high schedules were in force came to Newport to get drunk,because it cost them less if arrested. Since increasing his schedule of fines fewer drunks have been found at Newport. "I expect a similar scarcity of drunks in Santa Ana as a result of my new schedule. Drunkenness has been a real problem of this court. My ultimatum to place habitual drunkards in an insane asylum still stands." WON'T SHY AT THE VETO Another thing in the political situation is that there are not enough wild men in congress to over-ride a presidential veto and it looks as though we have a president who wouldn't avoid vetoing bills that strike him as dangerous. A deep thinker is one whose views are the same as our own.
