probably be paid. On the land is a cot
tage which can be rented for 510 a month
at any time. There are also a shed and
some other small buildings. The purchase
Is considered a good one, although soma

Tells in Tone, the Triumph of the Caesars
CREATORE, THE GREAT BANDMASTER, AS THE ARTIST SEES HIM
WILL SING "DAHjSY DEEVER."
David Bispham Will Give Kipling's
Famtfus Song Here March 9.
It is so long since Portland music
lovers have had an opportunity to enjoy
a song recital by a great baritone, that
the anticipation of David Blspham's con
cert, Thursday, March 9, at the Marquam
is creating unusual enthusiasm.
"The voice that can hurl such thunders
of glorious sound Is also flexible to the
finest gradation of tone expression and
wilful merriment," says the San Francisco
Bulletin, commenting upon his recital in
that city February 2L
The programme, which combined so
many degrees and kinds of appeal, grave.
gay, soulful, and sensuous, concluded with
very spirited rendition of Kipling's
Danny Deever.' set to music by Walter
Damrosch. Mr. Blspham's voice is ex
actly of the Quality to make the military
rhythms effective. He told the story of
Danny Decver's hanging and the appear
ance of Files on parade with such a
swing and sweep that It seemed to come
from a great, harmonious brass band
rather than from one Individual voice."
This famous song will be given in
Portland. Seats now on sale.
THERE was the tumult of blaring
brass and thundering drums the tem
pestuous riot of martial acclaim. Higher
and louder the crescendo mounted until
the heart fairly shouted in exultation at
the glory of sound. The familiar pre
cincts of the theater fell away and the
audience, strained to the tension where
imagination becomes madnea?. saw a tri
umph sweeping along the Applan Way.
Some victorious Caesar was returning to
Rome with a train of captives at his
chariot-wheels. Banners were upon the
breeze and the eagles the eagles were
aloft. The sun glinted on burnlebed ar
mor and the sound of the legions march
ing and the multitudes cheering was as
the rushing of a mighty wind.
These Latins were putting their "blood
into it and the music of the band was
telling brave things. In very mercy then
the ultimate was reached there was a.
cataclysm and Creatore, wild-vlsaged and
exhausted, his electric black hair dis
heveled, stood a moment and bowed to
a self-respecting, lavender and maccaroon
matinee audience which was shrieking its
approval with the abandon of the gallery
at an Empire melodrama.
There was eerie wailing of the reeds.
Uncanny murmurs and vague indefinite
complaining notes. Ghostly symphony
caressing, appealing. Whisperings oft
and low as angels' sighs. The spirits
of forgotten melodies seemed holding a
love tryst in the Grr"a Elysia It was
evening and the rising moon was" "snim
mering the lotus-bordered river. The
night wind rustling the palm branches
made a chill of minor refrain and then a
swan floated on the bosom of the waters
and sang.
Once again Creatore poised his magic
wand and bowed awkwardly. "He's got
Sousa skinned a mile, hasn't he?" re
marked the artistic Mr. Murphy, and we
were back again in the Marquam, look
ing at unlovely "house" scenery and a
wild-eyed Italian with a stick, who had
just been hypnotizing four and fifty dark
visaged tam ale-vendors with, musical
tools in their hands, and a representative
assemblage of musical cranks, who sat
In the plush seats and gasped with excite
ment. Creator o and his band played things
yesterday which ranged from the "Lucia
Sextette" to "Nearer, My God, to Thee,"
and "Highland Iassie." It was positive
ly uncanny to sit there and hear them do
it, for tho Creatore Is a madman a splen
did madman.
Forgetting the world, forgetting the day
and hour, he lives only In the engulfing
flood of his music They will have to shut
Creatore in a cell one of these times, for
tire madness of genius is wrecking him
If one were stone deaf and sat watching
him, one would shriek with laughter and
shiver with fear, alternately. But having
ears to hear, one forgets even the wild
gyrations, the hideous distorting of the
features and the senseless babble of
words of the man. and alts awe-stricken
in the spell of his -music. Creatore may
still be able to tell a hawk from a band-

moment a great bandmaster master 'in

freaks who Illuminate the cditlon-do-Iuxe
