Bessie Abott, American Soprano, in Song
Recital at the Heilig
BY J. M. QUENTIN.
Springtime: was literally in the
air at the. Heilig Theater last
night at the concert in which the
artists were Miss Bessie Abott, so
prano coloratura; Hans Dressel, 'cel
list, and Edith Moxom Gray, pianist.
No less than three Spring songs were
eung.
"And why not?" asked Miss Abott
afterward. "Isn't it Spring?"
The concert was a pleasant success
in high-grade musical art, and I was
thankful that the prima donna was
free from coia, so she sang at her
best. So very many visiting singers
have lately come to Portland with,
their voices in Indifferent condition,
possibly due to the rapid climatic
changes. In this connection I recall
"Wltherspoon and Blauvelt.
Miss Abott, whose musical career is
associated with the Metropolitan
Opera-House. New York City, obtained
her first voice lessons there and her
art received its finishing touch in
Paris. She became a favorite singer
both at the Paris Grand Opera and the
Opera Comlque. When she first came on
the Heilig stage last night, the audience
saw a slight young woman, with a
fine stage presence and a ready smile.
Her voice is a pure coloratura, full and
clear, and her trills are artistic. She
doesn't have, as yet, the mature style
of Melba. but who knows what the
years may bring? There's a feeling
when Miss Abott sings that she had
plenty of voice for her physique and
she Is a born actress. She has
pretty poses and a way of finish
ing a song by throwing out her
arms to the audience to make the
declamation more marked. This is a
fetching" trick, and it wins.
Madame Marchesi said the other day:
"A woman's voice is an Instrument with
three registers. And these registers
must be blended together that no break
or difficulty 1b possible." Miss Abott is
I a living illustration of this theory of
voice, which I believe in with all my
heart, despite views to the contrary. Her
voice is so skilfully "placed" that no
brealo Is visible, and last night she sang
up to B in altlssimo. Its quality may be
described as opulent.
The programme was different in spots
from the one previously published in trie
newspapers. The opening number was
not a Schumann novelette, but Grieg's
"Wedding Day," and instead of the
Gounod "Ave Maria" at the end, Miss
Abott sang Arditl's "Parla" waltz. It is
a matter of doubt what some of her other
numbers were. I was just getting the
names from her, when some of her party
carried her off to her hotel. Her encores
were "Mighty Lak a Rose," "Last Rose
of Summer," "Fruhlingslied," Weil, and
"Comin' Thro' the Rye."
But oh, Miss Abott's Scotch! I wonder if
she. knew what she was singing, when she
used the tongue of "Bobby" Burns? She
actually sang "Every laddie has her lad
die"! Edith Moxom Gray, whose residence at
present is at Tacoma, was both pianist
and accompanist, and she played with the
greatest credit to herself. Do you know
that Mrs. Gray, who was musically
trained in Boston, has only been a pianist
three years? She is an inspiration to
indolent students. She strives for tone,
and then tone, and succeeds. She doesn't
indulge in musical fireworks, and she isn't
a piano pounder. You gather the inspira
tion that Mrs. Gray calls up a spiritual,
beautiful art picture, and when she fin
ishes a solo she is so absorbed that she
gazes into space as if in a dream con
jured by the spirit of the composer.
Herr Dressel, the 'cellist, has a musi
cianly personality but his hair is of the
normal length. He plays easily and nat
urally, and I noticed once, in a brief
wait, that he adjusted his left cuff. His
technique is of the solid order, and tone
good.
The audience seemed to like the concert,
for all three artists were cordially re
ceived. Encores were numerous. Quite a
little party of friends met Miss Abott
after the concert, and she occupied the
center of the . stage. Someone had no
ticed that she had used the French lan
guage very skilfully, and remarked that
she had given quite a French rendition to
"Mighty Lak a Rose." Was Mademoi
selle, French?
"French?" queried Miss Abott "Not
a bit of it. I was born in New York. I
am an American." And she seemed to
expand with patriotism.

HEAD OFFICIALS IN CITY
PRESIDENT OF STUDEBAKEK
BROS. VISITS PORTLAND.
Believed Certain That Acting Man
ager AViggin Will Succeed the
Late Colonel E. M. Brannick.
More attention is to be paid to auto
mobiles -by the Studebaker Brothers
Company. Warerooms and a garage will
be established in the central business
district and greater efforts will be made
to place automobiles in this territory
than ever before by the Studebaker peo
ple. Frederick 9. Fish, of South Bend,
Ind., president of Studebaker Brothers,
Northwest, and of the Salt Lake City and
San Francisco branch houses of the
Studebaker interests as well as being
chairman of the executive committee of
the parent concern at South Bend, ac
companied by Hayden Eames, general
manager of the automobile department
of the Studebaker Company, spent yesterday-
in Portland, leaving last night
for Puget Sound. They say that while
the company's output of vehicles will not
be lessened, more attention will be paid
to automobiles than ever before, and ef
forts will be particularly directed to
bringing, out electric automobiles.
The Studebaker Brothers Company is
not ye't ready to name a permanent man
ager in Portland as successor to Colonel
B. M. Brannick, who died during the past
year, but will retain Acting Manager
Wiggin until a formal appointment is
made. The management of Mr. Wiggin
has been highly satisfactory to the firm
and it is considered certain that within
a short time his permanent appointment
will be made.
"Our firm has been fortunate since the
financial stringency first appeared," said
Mr. Fish, "for the factories at South
Bend have not shut down or lessened
their forces to any extent. The Stude
baker plant employs about 1300 men and
tunrt out 100,000 vehicles during the year.
exclusive of automobiles, which are man
ufactured in a separate factory.
"I find business exceptionally good in
the Pacific Northwest, considering the
general situation all over the country.
Collections have been good out here. We
hope soon to add to our salesrooms here
by placing our automobiles in a location
In the center of the city, where we can
show them to better advantage than at
present and have better facilities for
selling them. Otherwise there will be
no change in our present headquarters.
"We feel the loss of Colonel Bran
nick severly, for he had been with the
company for 30 years, and was almost
like one of the Studebaker family. I
have been making regular annual trips
to this territory since 1892 and never have
I been more Impressed with the growth
of this territory than on the present
trip."
The Studebaker officials left Portland
last night for Seattle and Spokane, where
they will look into the condition of the
implement trade. Then they will visit
Los Angeles and San Diego before re
turning to South Bend, via Denver and
Kansas .City.
