MAKES DECIDED HIT DAMROSCH’S DIRECTING PRODUCES WONDER FUL RESULTS Small Musical Audience Is En thusiastic in its Reception to World Famous Conductor. Walter Damrosch rmd his orchestra seemed to have charmed their hem eis comuletely, if one were to judge >y he rapt attention and universal appi mse given them last Tuesday evening, May 17th, at the Eugene Theater. Damrosch, as a director, is one of the best in this country and ranks among the greatest Wagnerian conductors m the operatic profession. He conducted for several seasons at the Metropolitan opera house. He did not, however, confine his efforts to New York alone, but took his great orchestra on the road and met with unusual success in the larger cities of the East, and later in San Francisco. His program Tuesday evening was strictly classical, yet of a popular na ture, because a great many of the selec tions were familiar. The program was as follows: PART 1. 1. Overture—“'1 he Merry Wives of Windsor,” Nicolai 2. Unfinished Symphony in B minor Schubert a. Allegro Moderato. h. Andante con moto. 3. Elizabeth’s Air from "Tannhauser,” Wagner Madame Anderson 4: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1 Liszt DUNN’S BAKERY Bread, Pies, Cakes and Confectionery, aLo Ice Cream and Fruits. 4 E.

Selections from Damnation of Faust, Berliez ti. Dance of the Sylphs. b. Dance of the Will o’ the Wisps. c. Rakoczy March. A Quartet from Rigoletta, Verdi Madames Anderson, Van der Veer, Messrs. Miller and Kellermabn. Elizabeth s Air from "Tannhauser" vvtts especially well rendered. Madame Anderson was perfectly at home with the Wagnerian type of music. She graciously sang the favorite “Mavor neen in English, for an encore. In the Religious Scene, "Electra,” the ’cello solo was given with such beauty of interpretation that when it was fm ’shed we could scarcely breathe for the letuty of it, and came back to earth only when the heavy applause compelled us to. Madame Van der Veer has a .vonderfully beautiful contralto voice, the quality is always sweet, even when singing above the accompaniment of the entire orchestra. '1 he qu rtet from Rigoletta showed up the exquisite tenor voice of Mr. Reed Miller, also that of Mr. Kellerman, the deep-voiced baritone. ! he concert seemed perfect to every one, and indeed how could one main tain an air of wisdom, when the ensem ble work was better than any we ever heard before, and the soloists were all artists. In fact, Mr. Damrosch’s baton seems to have a magic charm and works wonders over .all under its sway. Sid Smith Jay McCormick BILLIARDS AND POOL College Men’s Retreat W. M.

Rail * Son Staple and fancy Groceries EUGENE OFFERS RARE MUSIC OPPORTUNITIES BIG MUSICAL EVENTS OF THE YEAR ARE REVIEWED May Festival, Damrosch Orches tra and Schumann-Heink Fur nish Pleasure for Students. With the rapid growth of the Univer sity and city, Eugene is becoming a fa vored musical center. Besides the reg ular recitals given by the School of Music, an increasing number of the world’s best orchestras are finding ap preciative audiences to welcome them and make it worth their while to stop in Eugene. The first important musical event of the past year was the violin recital given by Mrs. Susie Fennel Pipes, head of the violin department. Mrs. Pipes has just returned from study in Berlin. Her interpretations and the unusual depth and color of her tone place her among the great violinists of today. After two years’ study in New York and Maine, Miss Eve I. Stinson, soprano, is again at the University of Oregon. At her recital given in the fall one of the principal features of the program was the Italian songs by the masters of the seventeenth century. Miss Stin son is an exponent of the famous Italian “belcanto.” I lie University had the opportunity of hearing Fennyson’s “Maud,” which has been set to music by Mr. Arthur Som merrel. It was given at assembly by Mr. 1. M. Glen, dean of the music de partmnet. It was doubly enjoyed, as Mr. Glen not only read excerpts from the poem, but sang the songs. His “I Hate the Dreadful Hollow,” was intense with bitterness and terrible horror of the “Dreadful Hollow.” Myrtle Elvyn, the pianist, appeared at the theater, assisted by Mrs. Pipes. Her playing was characterized by a won derful technique and a perfect mastery of the instrument. She has, apparently, the equipment for the making of an artist. At the May Festival this year tin University Choral Society gave "Hia watha s \\ edding Feast." by Coleridge 1 aylor, and Rossini’s famous "Stabat Mater." The music of “Hiawatha’s Wed ding Feast is weirdly fascinating and beautiful. [ uesuay, May seventeenth, Eugene hoard the famous Now York Symphony Orchestra and soloists under the direc tion of Walter Damrocsh. Eugene brings the host artists of the country and the people are showing more and more that we must have this class of music, and that Eugene is able to have die best there is. Maud Powell was here this winter for the fust time. Maud Powell and Mad ame Sclmmann-1 leink will be heard here just as often as they make their West ern tours. I lie Jiuceol course of entertainments, dial have been so popular, will bring Madame h neita Langendorff to Eugene. Madame Langendorff is a mezzo-so prano, and at her appearances last year she was acclaimed star of the Mair festivals, in Vienna, the home of mu sic and art. 1 he fact that Madame Schumann Heink appeared here in concert showed that it is possible to bring the greatest artists of the world to Eugene. The great success of that evening nas shown that Eugene and the University can co-operate in their appreciation of great muical events. 1 he means of bringing to Eugene the great artists who come to this Coast are now being planned. If the public whether vitally interested in one partic ular phase of entertainment or not, will lie generous enough to give their sup port and co-operation with this move, merit we can hear as great concerts as are given in the world. I here is now some talk of giving a comic opera in the fall, and, if these plans materialize, let all students show that they can make a tremendous suc cess of their part of the play by giving their support in every way. Mr. Robert llixon, ’09, is renewing old acquaintances during the week end. Mr. Neal Kendall, of Portland, is a week end guest at the Beta Theta Pi house.
