Busy M usic School Presents First Concert of Year Tuesday Night
Recreation Center of Music-Minded Students
The Carnegie room ... is a frequent gathering place on the campus for lovers of music. Endowed
by a national fund in 1927 along with many other colleges, this room is usually filled with students and
their books—music and otherwise.
Portland Pianist Remembers Day
He Taught in Old UO Music School
When the jchool of music was lodged in half of Friendly hall and the other half was a men's dorm.
David Campbell, Portland pianist who will be soloist with the University symphony next Tuesday, taught
piano to Oregon students.
Mr. Campbell laughingly recalled those days a few evenings ago in the lounge of the music audi
Lonum aiLer a lung ltuctusai wilii
Director Rex Underwood and the
70-piece orchestra.
Dorm Men Noisy
“VVe on the music faculty
thought we were- frightfully abused
by the noise mae by the men in
the dormitory,” he confided with a
sly twinkle, "but in the long run,
I think the students had the
greater right to complain!” Unlike
the present music building, where
even insulated walls conduct a
great deal of sound, Friendly hall
sounded more like a madhouse
than it ever has, according to the
pianist.
After leaving the campus, Mr.
Campbell continued his studies in
Germany. For a number of years
he served in the A.E.F. in France.
Returning to the United States, he
made his debut recital in the
Aeolian hall in New York with
decided success. It was inevitable
that he return to teaching, so it
was to Portland that he went to
establish himself.
Appears With WPA Orchestra
With his private teaching he
continued his concert appearances
in many western cities, among
them Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco and Eugene. His most recent
appearance was with the WPA or
chestra under the direction of
Mascha Pelz in Portland last
month. He is also on the extension
division of the state system of
higher education.
The Portland pianist expressed
his enjoyment on returning to the
university from which he graduat
ed. He numbers among his friends
both faculty members and stu
dents, a number of which were his
music students in Portland before
they enrolled at the University.
He will return for an additional
rehearsal before the concert Tues
day night, he said.
Kehrli Will Attend
Portlan4 Meeting
Herman Kehrli, director of the
bureau of municipal research, will
go to Portland today to attend a
meeting of the advisory commit
tee of the Portland branch of the
bureau.
The Portland branch has just
completed an extensive survey ot
the pension problem of Portland
employees and this matter will be
discussed.

To Be Pianist
In Recital
Noted Soloist
Explains Mozart's
A Major Concerto,
Feature Selection
Even the usually poised mem-,
bers of the University symphony
orchestra were excited a few eve
nings ago when they met at re
hearsal. The cause of their excite
ment was the presence of their
pianist, David Campbell of Port
land, who had motored to Eugene
that day to rehearse Mozart’s
“Concerto in A Major’’ with them.
The second movement of this
concerto is considered particularly
beautiful, and has more depth and
feeling than is usually attributed
to similar compositions by Mozart,
according to the pianist.
"It is hard to explain its mood,”
Mr. Campbell said. "It abounds in
the joyful spirit of Mozart and such
pure melody that it can only be
appreciated by hearing it.”
Two centuries ago,
Two centuries ago, Mr. Camp
bell explained, composers left a
break at the end of the second
movement of their concertos for a
cadenza, which was to be sup
plied by the player. In this would
be embodied most of the motifs
and rhythms of the concerto, and
the musicians would have a chance
to show off his originality. As this
is not the custom of modern pian
ists, Mr. Campbell will offer the
Reineckle cadenza in his rendition.
The concerto was written in
1786, when Mozart was busy com
posing “The Marriage of Figaro”
for the emperor of Austria. In be
tween his feverish hours of com
position of the opera he wrote the
concerto "for himself.” It shows
none of the tenseness which the
composer may have felt, only the
cheerfulness and grace of a spirit
that is truly Mozartian.
Mr. Campoell will play the en
tire concerto when he appears as.
soloist with the symphony orches
tra next Tuesday night in the mu
sic auditorium.
Northwestern
Student Holds
Sweetest Job'
By ANNA MAE HALVERSON
Ralph Lidge, 17-year-old North
western university student, asserts
that he holds "the sweetest part
time undergraduate job in the na
tion,” according to a United Press
report. He has four million bees
which produce over a ton of honey
annually to help pay tuition and
expenses.
Lidge, a freshman in the college
of liberal arts, keeps his bees on
the outskirts of Chicago. He re
ports that bee keeping combines
nicely with attending university,
for during the winter the bees
cluster in their hives and require
no attention. He intends to add
2,500,000 bees to his apiary in the
spring.
Waffles
The new waffle-eating champion
at the University of Washington
is Hugh -Williams, SAE, who ate

It took Williams 30 minutes to
eat the last ten, but he couldn’t
quite make the twenty-first waf
fle which would have broken the
record. His nearest competitors
were five waffles behind him.—

White's Mosquito'
To Buzz Tuesday
Underwood to Lead
Performance of
Humorous Song
“Mosquito Dance,’’ with all the
tantalizing movement of a buzzing
mosquito about to light, will be
played by the University of Ore
gon symphony orchestra next
Tuesday night.
One humorous selection in a
suite of “Five Miniatures” by Paul
White, American composer and as
sociate conductor of the Rochester
civic orchestra and of the East
man school orchestra, the song was
written in 1924 for the composer’^
children. All five will be offered b>
the orchestra.
An Oriental melody, “Caravar
Song,” and “Waltz for Teenie’s
Doll,” especially dedicated to Mr
White’s eldest daughter, are twc
of these. The “Mosquito Dance” i;
described as follows:
“As a boy, the composer used t:
sleep out-of-doors in the Maim
woods, and have the annoying sen
salion, when half asleep, erf a mos
quito buzzing around his head, thei
dancing tauntingly out of reach
Someone has said that music must
express emotion to be great. The
“Mosquito Dance” expresses th(
feeling of gloating satisfaction.”

By Journal Man
Newspapers wishing to become

should concentrate on home town
■ news, Arthur J. Crookham, city
| editor of the Oregon Journal, told
members of the ONPA yesterday
j afternoon.
"Nothing can take the place of

I declared. ‘TT believe .home town

Say Editors Like Women
j Mr. Crookham said that editors
seem to feel much as women do
about clothing. They think the im

"Today all papers tend to look
alike,” he declared. He believes!

Errors Blamed on Speed
Mr. Crookham pointed out that
the great emphasis of modern
newspapers is on circulation and

Oregon Symphony
Group Will Feature
Waltz by Strauss
The “Johann Strauss waltz!
craze,” which has apparently been
i sweeping the country since the re
lease of the motion picture, “The 1
> Great Waltz,” will be carried for- i
! ward another step Tuesday night
• when the University of Oregon
■ symphony orchestra plays in con
i cert in the music auditorium.
The number to be played will be
the immortal “Beautiful Blue Dan
ube," the most popular of all se
lections composed by the waltz
king of old Vienna. It was inspired
by the stream, which in spite of
the advance of modernism and Hit
ler, is still known as “the most ro
mantic river in the world.”
Composer Explains
'Dream ofMcKorkle'
In an effort to explain more fully his symphonic legend, “The Dream
of McKorkle,’’ Frederick Preston Search has written from San Fran
cisco to help Rex Underwood in his intet pretation and direction of the
piece, which will be played Tuesday evening in the music auditorium
by the University of Oregon Symphony orchestra.
“So much music is written today,’’ he writes, “of highly complicated
and dissonant nature that I am trying to write things which will live
1*1 UU rtLtUUill, UJ. iUVIWUJ,
and yot in an up-to-date manner
without the experimental chords
and ugly ideas.”
Concerning his general style, Mr.
Search believes that Alexander
Fried of the San Francisco Exam- j
iner understands his work as well I
as anyone. Fried wrote recently:
‘‘In creative style, Search is a
romantic, not a modern. The nine
teenth century has taught him,
besides sentiment a, colorful and
fluent texture. Yet from modern
istic idiom he has been resourceful
enough to learn healthy freedom
of solo and harmonic writing.”
The composer heard of his heroic
character, Daniel MeKorkle, from
Dr. Minnie Howard of Pocatello,
Idaho. He writes: “It seems M :
Korkle was much interested in
the remarkable carvings on some
big rocks located where Pocatelfo
now is. Dr. Howard had some of
these rocks on her fireplace. Oa
the back these rocks were cut up.
I think the Pocatello public library
used some in the walls, while many
of the carvings arc lost.
“.So I suppose MeKorkle must
have passed through Eugene also
in the early days and perhaps he
are sitting reading this letter.”

To Open Portland Operas
Coe Glade . . . guest artist with the San Carlo Opera company will
sing the title role in “Carmen.”
'Carmen’ to Inaugurate
Portland Opera Season;
Six Performances Slated
New Baritone, Ivan Petroff, Added to Sen
Carlo Company Cast; Carlo Peroni
Retains Director Position With Orchestra
"Carmen,” the greatest theatrical opera ever written, as all musical
authorities agree, will inaugurate the San Carlo Opera company’s
annual season at the Paramount theater, Portland, Friday evening,
February 3. Four evening performances and matinees Saturday and
Sunday, February 4 and 5, will bring the total number of performances
to six.
Reports from the East, where Mr. Gallo opened his 1938-39 season
in rujciteieiier vjenter, l^ew xon&, ■
advise that in all its years on tour j
the San Carlo has never displayed
such scenics.
New Baritone Added
Among the young, fresh voices j
that the San Carlo opera adds to
its personnel each season, a new
baritone will make his debut in!
Portland. He is Ivan Petroff, whose
Boston success a few weeks ago
was reported by the Boston Tran
script in the following words:
“But the big event of the even-]
ing was Ivan Petroff. Here was a
voice of excellent quality, one of
your man’s baritones, which, aided
by an apparently irreproachable |
technic, was employed to the de
sired expressive ends. . . . Since
he proved also to be an able actor, \
he was thoroughly convincing.
Carlo Pe^oni to Direct
Carlo Peroni, as during these
many years, will again direct the
large orchestra.
The repertory for the four days’!
engagement is as follows:
Friday evening, February 3,
"Carmen,” starring Coe Glade as|
guest artist.
Saturday matinee, “Martha” (in
English) followed by ballet di
vertissements by the San Carlo
ballet. I
Saturday evening, “'ll Trova
tore.”
Sunday matinee, “Madame But
terfly" with Hizi Koyke.
Sunday evening, “Faust.”
Monday evening, “Tannhauser.”
Trices Reasonable
Reasonable prices have won for
the San Carlo Opera company the
most widely scattered audience of
any opera company. During eight
months of each year, the San Carlo
presents opera in some sixty cities,
to a gross season's audience of
1 more than a half a million.
Tickets for the Portland engago
j ment are now on sale at the J. K.
j Gill company, 5th and Stark street,
j Portland, or can be ordered by mail
■addressed to the Paramount
theater.
