Prom early yesterday morning: when
the work-a-day world was office
bound until late last night when the
pleaaure-seekers were thinking: of
home, music predominated the com
munity life of the city In obscrvat on
of Portland's Music week and more
music was poured forth than In any
other day remembered In the history
of the city.
The object of music wetk was
achieved to bring: the attention of
the community to ' good music and
more music for no matter where
workers, pedestrians, saopners and
sightseers went they encountered con
certs of some nature ranging from
regimental bands to Individual per
formance of artists wlrb all the va
rious forms of reauUlon in the Inter
mediate steps.
Most particularly did the people
listen to the numerous store concerts,
many of which were given at noon for
the benefit of luncheon crowds and
the many workers whose only oppor
tunity during thi day to heor music
was during their no-m hour. Many of
the stores which had announced pro
grammes were packed to the doors
and the restaurant orchestras were
applauded by similar crowds.
Concert at Y. M. C. A. Feature.
One of the outstanding concerts of
the day was that given at noon in the
Y. M. C. A. auditorium by the Port
land Flute club. The music there was
pronounced of excellent quality and
the large audience expressed Its ap
preciation with vigorous calls for en
cores after every number.
The programme given at the city
hall and In the courthouse were like
wise well attended and applauded,
and travelers who were in the union
station listened to the Northern
Pacific band. The concert at the city
hall was given by the fire department
band and the audience at the court
house listened to special music by
the Unitarian quartet.
Many Concerts Given. '
The concerts during the day were
too numerous to mention. There was
music in practically all of the larger
business etabllshments, public build
ings, hospitals, many churches and In
a number of schools, although the
chief concerts in the latter claae were
held in the evening.
The Royal Rosartan band gave a
concert in Washington high school,
directed by Clarence H. Cook. There
was a capacity audience In the audi
torium of that buildiing. At Lincoln
high school the Moose band, directed
by F. A. Seiberllng. gave a pro
gramme of six numbers with encores,
sevral violin solos and community
singing. .
Many who enjoy military band
music went to the auditorium in the
evening to listen to the 69th regi
mental band. The band In concert
was quite up to Its reputation and
even bettered the previous perform
ances in Portland parades.
, Except for those individuals who
were sufficiently inspired by the mu
sic heard about town to go home and
put favorite records on the phono
graph or tickle the ivories in synco
pation, Jazz was a complete outcast
for the day, and will so remain for
the week, so far as public pro
grammes are conferned.
Programmes of Higk Quality.
All of the programmes were of high
quality and imitations of Jungle music
and torn torn dances were nowhere to
be heard. This does not mean that
popular music was ruled out for the
favorites of the day and of days gone
by, so long as they did not beat ap
propriate time for shimmy dances,
were neara many times in many
places.
At ths public library, Tenth and
Taylor streets, and at the different
branch libraries throughout the cUy
