AST WAR SAINT SAENS RECEIVES OVATION New York Extends Enthusiastic Welcome to the Great French Composer Who Is Visiting America for the .First Time NEW YORK, Nov. 5. (Special corre spondence.) The most important event in either musical or dramatic circles this week was the appearance of Dr. .Camllle Saint Saens, the great French composer, Saturday night, with the New York Symphony orchestra Joint ly with Walter Damrosch, its own con ductor. In the first place there was ex treme emotion and enthusiasm, ' because Saint Saens was perhaps more seriously ill than was originally helleved, and outside of that his years and the nobility with which he bears them were affecting in the extreme. There is no composer liv ing closer to a larger number of people than Saint Saens, whose works run Into every field beginning with his wonderful dramatic oratorio. "Samson and Delilah," arias from which are sung by most of the Important singers, and ranging through the world of orchestra chamber music and church music. For that rea son he is known to alt -classes, and the better he la known the more he is re vered. It may thus be realized that it was no small matter, to see him upon the concert stage of Carnegie Hall for the lirst time in America. As he entered he was greeted with cheers and the orchestra arose, in a body and gave him the seldom extended "fan fare," which is done by each man draw ing a note or a chord from his instru ment. This represents the highest com pliment that an orchestra as a body can extend an artist. Saint Saens is short in stature and robust looking, and would lmve been the more so had it not been for his severe Illness. He is Iron gray, mid his beard frames one of the most dis tinguished looking faces possible to con ceive. Taken altogether he has a beau tiful personality, and this makes itself felt through his work whether as pi anist or as conductor. As pianist he was a genuine surprise because we have never thouKht of him in this connection, knowing the exacting demands that virtuosity makes upon a pianist and understanding that Saint Saens 'always gave himself to the greater things in his art. He played his own compositions. Including a fantasie for piano and orchestra called "Africa," a waltz-caprice for piano and strings called Wedding Cake" (written for the marri age of a pianist friend), and an "Allegro Appassionato" for piano and orchestra. His playing was full of exquisite mo-, ments, charming, sparkling, singing with poetry and dancing with grace. His vir-tuo-sity is quite astonishing, his age and the other side of the man taken into con sideration. He will only make about twenty ap pearances In this country! but he will ap pear as organist, and he will also con duct a performance of his "Samson and Delilah" at the Metropolitan Opera during the season. We shall hope to hear Saint Saens conduct his own "Danse Macabre" before leaving these shores, as this Is one of his most widely known works. The audience was tremendously enthusiastic and was deeply moved. Plays come and go so quickly that It is difficult to keep up with the race even so far as knowing when a play goes on and when it goes oft. It is impossible to forecast or to say how an audience will take a production. For Instance, "Cyra heline," at the Astor Theater is drawing crowded houses, while plays in which the exploiters had the utmost confidence are to be withOrawn. The "House of Mirth," adapted from Mrs. Wharton's novel by Clyde Fitch. Li not a success and cannot be mace one. The new play, "The Meas ure of Men," written for Herbert Kelcey and Effle-Shannon-by Charles Klein, will be withdrawn .before, indeed, many had time to realize that it is on. It-Is for this reason that so many uncertainties surround the profession and those in it. When one thinks of the unparalleled success of "The Music Master." of 'The I,ion and the Mouse," without going back as far as "Heartsease" and others In t hat day. how Is it possible to believe thrft he has written one which must be withdrawn almost before It Is fairly on? The first production of "The House of Mirth" occurred Monday, October 22, and drew an audience notable for the dis tinguished people. In fact, almost every one present represented someone In the literary world. Perhaps this was the misfortune: at any rate, be that as it may. lis life Is already over. However, to deal with Viola Allen and her pro duction of "Cymbellne." When a play hangs heavily upon me, it is always my instinct to believe that I am not in con dition to enjoy, and perhaps in this sen- tlir.ent I bring about too -much of the personal element, something which nil critics sliimlil attempt to keep clear of. If. on the other hand. It Is not a personal inii re.-sion and personal judgment, whose ideas and what viewpoint shall we write down? ' - "t'ynibeline" is drawing large audiences and t he spontaneous applause was proof cnounh of the attitude toward the com pany and the production. It was difficult to believe that the men were flesh and blood, every speech and every situation seemed stilted and impossible. It occurred ( to tne that only in opeist. which is in Itself a stilted form, could such a play have n satisfactory outlet If it must be produced in the present time. "Hamlet," "Macbeth." "Julius Caesar" stand as Bach stands modern, among the most modern, clear. fre.h and palpitating, but "Cymbellne" has the antiquated note which palls upon those who are carried away in the modern whirlpool. So much f ir the play, the more the pity that such a Shakespeare-worshiper as the writer should in honesty be compelled to avow herself out of tune with one line of the great Bard of Avon. Of Viola Allen's delineation of the role of Imogen only the best can be said. It was beautiful and It was very subtle. In fact, almost unaided she carried the en tire production. The character of Imogen Is a beautiful piece of drawing of femin inity. It would be difficult to conceive anyone playing It with more gentleness, jet with more dignity than Miss Allen iVsplayed. As has been told already in this column it was her aim to play this role before retiring from the stage, as Fiie has threatened to do since her mar riage, and for this reason It is pleasant to chronicle that it has been in every sense an artistic and financial success. While speaking of the modern and the classic In art. Arthur Foote consented to talk at length upon the matter of the evolution of music into its present con dition this week while in New York, where ho came to play with the Kneisel Quartet. Mr. Footo does not appear often as pianist, because he elves precedence tn the organ and especially to composi ng), lie- is now engaged in writing a key to a work on harmony and theory, which was issued last Spring, but he took time from his work to appear as pianist, in his own quartet, which vtaa played hi Brooklyn Thursday night by the Kneisel Quartet, and which will be played in New York in January by the Olive Mead Quartet Mr. Foote assisting. To return to Mr. Foote and his impres sions, he said: "1 cHiinot see anything but perfectly systematic evolution from the earliest composers straight through to Richard Strauss. If there has been any devia tion from this systematic evolution I should say that It begins with Debussy md his Imitators In the French school. Run- through the line Haydn, Mozart. Beethoven. Schubert. Schumann. Chopin. Mendelssohn and the relation Is prac tically unbroken. s. "I should expect you to disagree with f me when I next add the name of Wagner, 9ut Indeed he is right in line. The more y -s f r ' l& ' s- v v ! 1)K. CAM1LLK SAINT SAENS, GRKAT YORK deeply you examine his scores the more easily you will agree that he has made no radical departure, because amplifica tion is not departure. This same is prac tically true, indeed entirely true of the young Italian school, and what has Rich ard Strauss done, except to continue .the amplification? He retains form, and he is no explorer. This cannot be said of Debussy, who comes into realms not to be conceived of and hardly to be under stood; even D'Indy builds according to an architectural scheme, a tremendous scheme, according to his own ideas, en tirely form-bound. The same is true of the Russian school. No matter what ab stract spirit of novelty they may, have brought into their work, they have en tered no unexplored domain. "I do think that so much that is extremely modern will dull the senses for the nobility of the classics; it is just like an overdose of tabasco, which makes it perfectly impossible to taste anyUung less tropical, and it were a great pity if the young generation were to be led Into the modern atmosphere without having passed through every phase of the clas sical, from Haydn- down." In a day when modern drama makes such tremendous drafts upon the emo tions. "!fhd the Intellect Is called upon to analyze and philosophize so much and so often, it is not easy to go back to the classic spirit even of a Shakespeare, un less it be in his more philosophical mo ments. In this spirit, Shakespeare, like Bach, can never grow antiquated. On Tue.day evening Forbes Robertson and Gertrude Elliott, better known In Shakespearean drama than In anything else, opened at . the New Amsterdam Theater In "Caesar and Cleopatra." Not by Shakespeare, however, but by that great writer's self-appointed rival, Ber nard Shaw. However, to hear Mr. Rob ertson on the matter of Bernard Shaw one must take It that the actor is hypno tized or that modesty is an elastic quality , "The real Shaw is really modest." said Mr. Robertson. "Of course, he says and writes a great many things that are merely results of his erratic humors. He does not take them seriously himself and does not expect the public to do so. He has actually a correct and unidealized estimate of his own powers and achleve- Great Chinese Devil Gum Ji No Longer Strikes Terror to Portland Celestials (For Illustrations See First Page of Magazine Section.) THE Gods of their Fathers don't seem to bother Portland Orientals very much any more. Instead ' of superstitious mysticism, which Is gener ally a big factor In the Chinese makeup John of today is attached to the American man's money god. Occidental influence has had Its dire effect upon the local fol lowers of Confucius and there are now Christians and Infidels galore In China town. This general backsliding was not sus pected until the recent harvest-festival. This Is an annual thanksgiving festival in honor of the gods, to pay homage for the year's bounty. It occurs about the end of the harvest season and has been in practice throughout famine and plenty in China for a number of centuries. In the local Chinatown, too, it has been here tofore, second in importance only to the Chinese New Year, which comes a little later along In the season. The festival is looked upon as a necessity. Unless they receive this mark of homage, the Orien tal gods are supposed to wax wrathy. With the gods wrathy the host of devils that infest all Chinese communities could have things all their own way. First the gods must be placated and then Gum Ji and , his hosts chased away. Gum Ji is commander-in-chief of the phlnese hades and as leader of all devils is a spirit greatly to be feared. Now this seemed very pretty for a num ber of centuries, until the wily Orientals became Americanized. And it might have gone on even then, but it was very ex pensive and John doesn't like expensive religion since ho learned the way of the Occident. He no longer believes in strain ing his pocketbook for the mere saving of his soul. Besides, contact with brisk civ ilization has sharpened his wits and he no longer takes much stock In this Gum Ji devil business. The result of this new spirit was a very meager harvest festival for this year. Last year there was $3000 available for the affair and three priests were imported from San Francisco to conduct the cere s. . FRENCH COMPOSER, NOW IN NEW CITY. 4 ments which are. very great. Mrs. Rob ertson and I have played two of three plays for Puritans. 'The Devil's Disciple' and 'Caesar and Cleopatra." This play does not strike me in any way as satire, although there Is much satire in it, and its wit is satirical in the most brilliant degree. I do not feel the words that Shaw puts into Caesar's mouth to be unnatural or forced while I am deliver ing them, on the contrary. I feel the play to be wonderfully sincere and many mighty truths are marvelously driven home. "Mr. Shaw is remarkably optimistic, and he seems to be an egotist because he is extremely frank, not only about others and to others about himself, but also concerning himself and his work." A description of Mr. Shaw, as offered by Mr. Robertson, is as follows: "Shaw is a tall, thin, pale-faced man. His eyes are a kindly blue, he wears a beard and he stands notably erect. His manner is always alert. He is a man who has given liberally of his time and ' means to the public service. Underneath that Joking attitude toward life for which the public knows him. he has a serious object and profound convictions. His wife has an equally altruistic dispositions Mr. Shaw himself is pure Irish and his wife is a thoroughgoing English woman." A review of the play will be in order next week. . "The Shulamite," with Miss Lena Ash well, the celebrated English actress in the title role, opened at the Lyric Theater on Monday. The play is very intense and very tragic and serves Miss Ashwcll as a magnificent vehicle for her talents. She is complete mistress of all arts of the theater in addition to rare temperamental gifts. She has beyond all this, that sweet musical voice of the English woman which lends itself so remarkably to the dramatic exigencies of the play. "The Shulamite may be designated as a strong play, melodramatic for the great er part, but interesting through its treatment of South African life. There are many thrills and many tears and It is the sort of play which is designated by half who see it as horrible and blood curdling, but it will probably draw heav ily and for a long time. Miss Ashwell herself would be attraction enough. EMILE FRANCES BAUER. monies. But this time the priests came, and were on limited diet, since less than J1S00 had been raised to pay for the whole festival.. It is presumed, from past knowl edge of their habits, that the three sancti monious celestials from the Bay City got most of the J1800. The more intelligent Chinese of Port land kept away from the ceremonies alto gether. All festivities and rites were held fh the Chinese josshouse, at 64 Second street, and there were far more white people than Chinese in attendance. To the Occidental mind the services seemed ridiculous, and yet there was not such a wide difference with certain forms of civilized worship. The handful of faithful worshipers gathered in front of the Joss while the priests chanted in a doleful, hideous falsetto. When the priests would pause for breath an almond-eyed heathen -sitting at one corner of the Joss would begin beating a torn torn for all he was worth. Burning punk sticks and vats of steaming food In front of the Joss completed the arrangement. After the various gods of the celestial paradise had. been sufficiently appeased, the task of running the chief devil. Gum JI. out of town was then taken up. Several scores of Orientals and some 200 curious white people gathered outside the josshouse shortly before midnight and saw the priests set fire to a cumbersome dummy which looked like the devil and was labeled Gum Ji in unintelligible Chi nese symbols. The dummy was quickly consumed by flames and the souls of the faithful few in Chinatown were safe for another year. Leading Chinamen predict that there will never be another festival in Portland, that the germ of disbelief will infest even those who were faithful to the gods of their fathers this year, in fact, a meeting of leading Chinese was held recently to consider the matter and it was de cided by them to abolish further festivals of the kind. However, their edict will no doubt fall, to control some of the more superstitious and" harvest festivals may LEHIGH COAL DOCKS BURN Nearly $1,000,000 Loss of Prop erty at Chicago.' CHICAGO. Nov. 10.

BOSTON, Nov. 10. A dangerous fire early this morning, thought to be incen diary, practically ruined a large five- story brick building on Beverley street, in the North End, causing a loss esti mated at about $100,000, distributed among several manufacturing concerns. Two firemen were overcome by the dense smoke from the Fire Stone Tire & Rub ber Company, but later they recovered. Six other firemen had a narrow escape from being carried down by a falling roof. James W. Madden, marble toolman; Terry & Co., marble and granite work ers: Arson Bros., manufacturers of springs beds; the Boston Wagon Company, and the Fire Stone Tire & Rubber Com pany were among the heaviest losers. The police are investigating suspicious cir cumstances connected with the fire. , Erie Firemen May Strike. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.

Seventeen hundred men are said to be affected. SHOPGIRLS IN DANGER. Chicago Maintains Hotels Which Harbor Human Vampires. CHICAGO, Nov. 10. Clubwomen repre senting the Chicago Women's Club, the Cook County League of Women's Clubs and the Woman's Legal Aid Society made a strong appeal before the Council license committee yesterday in favor of the Com merford ordinance licensing hotels. Mrs. Alice E. Bates, Mrs. Louis Greely, Mrs. Charles Henrotin and Mrs. Wilbur Jack man were the speakers, who told the Al dermen in plain terms that the fate of thousands of innocent girte was bound up in the regualtion of the down-town hotels and that they proposed to see safeguards thrown about them. Miss Lucy Page Gaston sprang the sen sation of the session in a discussion of the conditions surrounding underpaid shop girls. "Chief of Police Coljins, at our request, recently detailed two detectives to watch a certain down-town store," said Miss Gaston. "Their report to him showed that in the course of a week they had traced 60 girls from that one place to the various down-town hotels. They were all accompanied by men. This thing has grown to serious proportions and .is spoil ing the lives of hundreds of hard-pressed girls. These hotels ought to be wiped out." The committee decided to resume the discussion a week hence. WANT MILLS PROTECTED Cuban Sugarmakers Ask for but Re fused Military Guards. HAVANA, Nov. 10.

It will change all the steam railroad systems over to electric roads, because it will be cheaper to run than steam and can be run faster and more safely than any present method. The one drawback the railroads have had in changing over to electricity has been that no motor as at present made can be run 250 miles at t0 miles an hour without burning out. It would melt the very wires.
