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

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

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.

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

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.

I never made an unsuccessful invention. My first invention was the electric
fan. just as it is run all over this country in hot weather. I didn't get a
patent on it, but see what a tremendous success it is!
I next invented the Trolley Car System, just as it is run today. T made
it perfect and successful right from .the start. It hns never been -Improved
since I invented it. Look at the millions of money it lias made for the stock
holders. The stock in the trolley manufacturing companies sold below" lj
cents a share in 1S93 and 1S94. Poor men could buy that stock then. Thou
sands of them did buy it. and every one who held on to it is a rich man today.
Next I Invented the Railway Car Telephone System. It is a system by
which passengers or train crews can telephone from still or moving cars any
where the same as if seated in an office. It is a more perfect system in opera
tion than any other telephone you ever saw. This is on the road toward
millions for the stockholders. -
This Is My Greatest Invention
Now I have invented something: bigger and greater than either of the above.
It is called the Bidwell Cold Motor. Ic is guaranteed pot to burn out, and is
exactly the kind of a motor the steam railroad people have been looking for.
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.
By using the Bidwell Cold Motor a train of cars could be run from New
York to San Francisco without a stop at the rate of So miles an hour and not
even warm up. and witiiout a hitch.
Besides ruifning faster they would be more safe and sure than steam, cost
ls t operate, and would last longer than any other motor now known.
The Bidwell Cold Motor is the greatest invention out since I Invented
the trolley car.

The Opportunity of a Lifetime

The stock will be sold on the square. There will be no hocus pocus about
the preferred or common stock, nor any other scheme, trick or wrinkle by
which anybody can be frozen out. -
