3 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. FEBRUARY 2, 1913. EDITED BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIX. TUE present concert tour of Madame Lillian Nordica, dramatic soprano. Is stated to be an artistic, personal success, and there Is every indication that ber concert at the Helllg; Theater, 'Wednesday night, under the direction of the Helllg Theater management, will be largely attended. The beauty of Nordlca's voice, her great and rare art and her magnetic personality are well known, and the wonderful versatility that makes her at once mistress of a great dramatic song, a florid Italian aria and a simple English ballad, enables her to provide a programme of wonderful variety and rare artistic deltsht. For this reason, Nordica shines a6 brilliantly on the concert platform as on the operatic stage. Xordica is an example of con stant achievement. She has never stood still nor remained content with the tri umphs she has won. Last season she acored one of the greatest successes of her career by singing "Isolde" in Ger man at the Berlin Royal Opera, while the season before she added a fresh triumph to her list by singing the same role In trench at the Paris Grand Opera. At Wednesday night's concert Nordi ca will be assisted by William Morse Kummel, violinist, and Romayne Sim mons, pianist. Xordica's selections are by Wakefield - Cad man, Schumann. Strange, Vidal, Debussy, Bemberg, Le roux, Wagner, Arensky, Rachmaninoff. the chief number being "The Erll- King" (Schubert). Both Interest and curiosity are felt as to the first concert this season of the Orpheus Male Chorus, William Man sell Wilder, director, at the Masonic Temple Auditorium, Wednesday night at 8:15 o'clock. The personnel of the chorus has changed from that of last year, and therefore the tone color of the younger voices will vary from that which distinguished this male chorus when It was known and not so very long ago as the male chorus of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church. The singers have been carefully drilled by Mr. Wilder, and a finished concert may be expected. The assisting soloist is William Wallace Graham, violinist, who is a capable, artistic player, and who recently returned after several years' study in Europe, where he coached under the direction of the world's great violin experts. The programme is: "The Huntsman's Fare well" (Mendelssohn). "The Beautiful Blue Danube" (Heartz-Strauss). "Sere nade Melancholique. Op. 26" (Tschal kowsky). and "Air Savoyard" (Vleux teraps). William Wallace Graham; "The Martyrs of the Arena'- (Laurent de llille). "Soldier's Farewell" (Kinkel). Part two: "Come Join the Festive I'ance" (Jones), "Myfanway," a Welsh serenade (Parry), a. "Organgrinders Song" (Tschaikowsky). h. "Air." 1685- 1760 (Bach), c "Menuett" (Mozart). Mr." Graham; "The Monks of Gwalla," a war song (Parry); "Comrades In Arms"! (Adams). wOvH'' il :. USB, . v . v ' -: - Sembrich's concert at the Hellis The ater Tuesday night Is another big musi cal event to keep In mind. Sembrich Is probably the last of a brilliant coterie of colorature sopranos whose fame Is now world wide and whose motto was and Is "beautiful song." On this occa sion she will be assisted by Guita Caslni. 'cellist. In speaking of Sem brich's recent concert at New York the Xew York Tribune said: "It has been impossible for two years at the Opera House to think of any of the operas with which Sembrich was identified without a regret that she was no longer present on the stage. On the recital platform she has remained an absolutely unique exemplar of the art of song in its highest aspect; and there was probably nothing more surprising about yesterdays entertainment than that she should have shown herself to be In every respect, vocally, emotion ally, artistically. Intellectually, as great as she has been at any time in the last live years. If not greater." "Public School Music and Methods' will be Frederick E. Chapman's subject tomorrow morning at the residence of Mrs. Johnson Porter. 49i Multnomah street. In a lecture to be given before the members of the Monday Musical Club. Following the lecture the board of directors will meet at the borne of Mrs. J. P. Ludlam, and at 3 o'clock there will be a meeting of active mem bers at room 403 Eilers building, by order of the president of the club. Miws Pagraar Inez Kelly will be one ff the soloists at the St. Patrick's en tertainment. Masonic Temple audito rium. March 17. . John Claire Monteith has chosen February 11 as the date for a song re cital by students under his direction, in the Columbia building. West Park and Washington streets. Among those who will sing are Miss Dagmar Inez Kelly, who was heard in recital two seasons ago. and whoso voice shows great growth and continued develop ment; Miss Mabel Orton, contralto solo ist at the Rose City Park Presbyterian Church; Miss Verna Smith, contralto at the Centenary Methodist Episcopal Church; Miss Agnes Fies. soprano at the Rose City Presbyterian Church: Miss Christina Olsen and Mrs. Roy Thompson, soprano soloist at the Cen tenary Methodist Episcopal Church. Slezak. the tenor. Is described as "the Czech giant with a high C In altlssimo." and In speaking of Slezak's artistic success at a recent Berlin con cert, a critio writes: Slezak may be likened to Tamagno, an earlier giant in physique and vocal gifts. It Is curious to see the response an audipnee makes to a tenor voice, particularly if that voice includes in its range a ringing high C The whole thing seems to be a matter of pure physiological sugges tion; no on stops to reason why. but surrenders promptly and unreservedly to the magic of a tone. If I were a concertlzins artist, r.o amount of money could tempt me to put my fate to such u. test, for no other artist of whatever degree of mind can hope to hold his own when pitted aga'nst a tenor. Slezak sang the two big Meyerbeer arias from "L'Afrlcaine" and "Les Hu guenots, and later an aria from Pon chielll. "La Gioconda." But. strangely enough, it was not these excerpts from his stage repertoire which pleased best, but a group of songs which gave him an opportunity of displaying his admir able mezza voce. His handling of these lyrics brought him unstinted pratse. and his success as a lleder sing er was pronounced." - a . Miss Thelma Waters, contralto, sang with success at the Derthlck Club. Ore Koa City, last Friday night and will ting at the First Presbyterian Church, Vancouver, Wash., this morning. This programme of pipe organ music was played at a recital given by Fred erick W.

He sang Macdermid's "My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose and for an encore, Ronald's "Sunbeam. "A statmement discussed a few days ago relative to the abandonment of the public rehearsals by the Portland sym Dhonv Orchestra for the benefit of the public school scholars, gives the general public an erroneous impression, writes Carl Stoll, secretary or tne orcnestra. "We desire it understood that the ques tion of funds has at no time been a vital point of hindrance to the project. Although we are not overburdened witn wealth, ways and means have .always been provided for the carrying out of our efforts. LP to tne present ume, we have been fortunate In the fact that the Fridays upon which our public rehearsals have been given were school holidays, making it possible for the scholars to attend without Inconven ience. It is practically impossible for us to obtain the use of a theater Sat urdays, that being the regular matinee day in the different houses. This, and our failure to secure the consent of the Board of Education permitting the scholars absent from school to attend the rehearsals during the morning per iod Fridays, or to secure the use of the Lincoln High School auditorium, or oth er suitable building, are the sole rea sons of the temporary giving up of the project. This action is keenly regretted by the orchestra men and It is hoped that before the season closes it will be possible to make some arrangement to again take up the work." The choir of Mixpah Presbyterian Church. Stanly A. Starr, director, is preparing for a sacred concert to be given next Sunday night. The excel lent work of this chorus of 85 voices is a special feature of the regular Sun day night services. Dr. Emil Enna appeared In a piano recital last Thursday night, under the auspices of the Enna Amateurs. The most Important novelty on the pro gramme was a "Sonate In D-Minor" (Rachmaninow). probably one of the most difficult sonatas ever written. It : Iff?' i 3i i requires a masterly technique and an illustrative mind, but the pianist over came both with ease. The work takes nearly 45 minutes to perform, and Is an interesting score of the modern Rus sian school. Dr. Enna was received with applause, and as an encore played the "March of the Dwars" (Grieg). Miss Evelyn Paddock gave a reception in her home In Irvlngton after the re cital and a larger number of Dr. Enna's former and present students attended. ... Mrs. Donald McBride, contralto, who won such favor by her excellent ballad singing at the recent Clan Macleay concert, is not so well known to concert-goers in this city as she ought to be, because until a short time ago she preferred the quiet of home life to the public activities of concert platforms. She is really one of the most artistic contraltos who ever lived in this city. Bom at Glasgow, Scotland.

MUSICAL DIRECTORY. MADAME LILLIAN NORDICA This recipe makes a pint of cough gyrup enough to last a family a long tune. You couldn't buy as much or as good cough syrup for $2.50. Simple as it is, it gives almost instant relief and usually stops the most, obsti nate cough in 24 houra. This is partly due to the fact that it is slightly laxa tive, stimulates the appetite and has an excellent tonic effect. It is pleasant to take children like it. An excellent rem edy, too, for whooping cough, croup, sore lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc. Mix one pint of granulated sugar with pint of warm water, and stir for 2 minutes. Put 2-V4 ounces of Pinex ( fifty cents' worth) in a pint bottle, and add the Sugar Syrup. It keeps perfectly. Take a teaspoonfid every one, two or three hours. Pine is one of the oldest and best known remedial agents for the throat membranes. Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway white pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and all the other natural healing elements. Other preparations will not work in this formula. The prompt results from this recipe have endeared it to thousands of house wives in the United States and Canada, which explains why the plan has been imitated often, but never successfully. A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or money promptly refunded, goes with this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or will get it for vou. If not, send to The Pinex Co., ft. Wayne, Ind.
