TITE SUNDAY OREGOMAX, PORTLAND SEPTEMBER 15, 191. it . . - - TWO NOTED STARS TO OPEN AUTUMN SEASON OF MUSIC IN PORTLAND Riccardo Martin, Young American Tenor, and Rudolph Ganz, Swiss Pianist. . Will Appear at : HeOfc Theater OctoberV-Both Artist. Have Been Received With Enthusiasm Wherever They Have Appeared. ALMOST GIVING ' AWAY NOW!! M tV V.. THE . coming on October 2, under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman. of Riccardo Martin, the young- American tenor, and Rudolph Ganz. tie new star in piano playing, is causing; a flutter of excited anticipa tion In local musical circles, for these two artists are receiving- magnificent ovations elsewhere. Martin, young as he is is already accepted as possess or a, voice that has seldom been equaled in the world's history, and is conceded to be Caruso's legitimate suc cessor with the Metropolitan Opera forces. New York.- "Riccardo Martin's voice is pure lold." says one critic. "It has a tim bre in its lower register comparable only to the mellow low notes produced on the G string of a rare old violin. and the higher notes have the clarity of a bell. - He sings .without apparent effort, has no mannerisms and, instead, impresses the hearer with his immense fund of geniality and good humor. As a singer no native-born artist can com pare with him, and of the foreign ten ors. Caruso and Bonci alone can dis pute supremacy with him. "There was a surety of touch to everything he sang that bespoke the great artist. That his voice is equal to any demands that he may be called upon to make upon it. seems certain, and as for purity of tone quality, legato of velvety smoothness, power, ease, poise and cleverness of intonation and enunciation, there probably are but two or three tenors in the world who may challenge comparison." Rudolph Ganz, the Swiss pianist who m h hearrl in the same recital, is stirring the multitudes that hear him to wildest enthusiasm, -"in Tschalkowsky's big B flat minor concerto for piano-forte and orchestra Mr Ganz revealed a neroic stature a a solo artist." says a leading New York ii. "13-1,. ,i..;i.orv In t ht concerto with a heavy orchestral score was of certain brilliancy. He has abundant virility of attack and an aptitude for delicate nuance and shading. He was given an ovation by his several thous and hearers." - This is the first concert of the Steers-Coman season, and promises to be a most brilliant and auspicious opening- event. It will take place at the Heilig Wednesday night. October 2. The Finish of the Reed-French Closing-Out Sale Never Before and Never Again Will Prices Be So Low STOP READ ACT We're going to make quick work of finding homes for the 'remaining sixty-three pianos and player pianos We've got to. Our lease has' run out. We re quitting the business. The landlord can put us out ' into the street at any moment.; If this would happen we would be in an awful fix. Certainly, we could store them. What good would that do? We re through with the piano business. If we stored them we would still have them on hand, besides being com pelled to move them. ' That's why we have cut prices right down to cost and even less. That's why we have slashed prices to the lowest point ever known in the piano trade. Are you going to be economical and profit by -these unheard-of prices and thereby save at least one-half? Or are you going to wait and be compelled to pay double? It is up to you. Bear in mind, nothing is reserved. Included are such highest grade and well-known makes (all brand new and the very latest styles) as the celebrated Knabe the world's best piano, the time-honored Lindeman, the superb Jesse French, the artistic Haines Bros., the popular Armstrong, etc., in the finest Mottled Mahogany, Burl and Circassian Wal nuts, genuine quarter-sawed Oaks and other rare and costly woods. WAR VETERANS IN JAIL RELEASED TO ATTEND GRAND ARMY REUNION Log Aneelese Throbs With Episodes of Human Interest When Battle-Scarred Old Soldiers Gather-Army Nurses Affectionately Remembered and Recognised at Big Encampment-Mission Cross Built in 1782 Replaced. LOS ANGELKS, Sept. 14. (Special.) The Grand Army of the Republic today concluded its 46th National encampment, and most of the delegates are on their various ways home for an other year. To these griszled old sol diers the annual encampment is the one bright light in their years as they pass. Hundreds of them save and scrimp for it month In order to be able to attend the encampment, meet their old com rades and swap the same old stories they have been telling for near half a century. The stories are always new to them and their souls are thrilled by the reciting of their experiences as boys of wartime. The meeting of these old soldiers and patriots is inspiring to the younger generation and the most flippant stops for an Instant when the mental wave of patriotism hits him as the veterans march 'down the street to the sound of the screeching fife and drum the sweetest music of all to their ears. Young men and children still see the light of patriotism in the eyes of the veterans and square their shoulders as they mentally resolve to be as good as these men of another age march by. Priaoaexa Are Released. During the big parade this week there were cheers for the old men. but there wen also eyes drip-full of tears at the pathetlo sight. But march the old men will, and they scorn the idea of abolishing the parade. Automobiles were furnished for those unable to inarch, but it. was with the greatest reluctance that the old men accepted the proffer of assistance. With heads up and shoulders thrown back, they marched over the parade route living examples of patriotism, heroism and duty well done. The tears were all in the eyes of the onlookers. It re quired no particular imaginative quali ties to see in the mind's eye these same men as boys marching blithely to that kind of war that Sherman described as hell. That any one of those youthful soldiers should be alive today. la the miracle of it all. During the encampment closed today there were many human interest inci dents that will never be chronicled. .- ..
