Rosea Cover Piano.'
An upright piano stood under a
. mass of eorjreous pink roses which
almost covered its top and filled the
air with fragrance. Mary herself sat
at the piano, making little runs along
the keys with fingers devoid of jew
els save for one lovely big dark stone,
Bet squarish and oddly in dull gold
She still wore the diaphanous rose
colored draperies of the lady of Pisa,
the Monna Vanna who had just come
from a busy half hour in argument
with Prinzwalle in his tent. The
dr.-.peri'es on the lovely bare arms
she had thrown back as if they ham
pered her wide, free gesturing, and
she whirled around on the piano stool
to bid adieu for a few hours to her
good friend, Lois Steers, who had
come in to congratulate the famous
diva and who wanted to get into her
seat again before the last act began.
Star la Tactful.
It has been told in reportorial
circles time and again that Mary
Garden is an adept in handling whole
armies of newspaper men and news
" per women. Every quality of men
tality may be present among the
army with the notebooks and poised
eversharps, from the high-browish
musical critic who wants to know
what Miss Garden thinks of the fu
ture of opera in America, to the re
porter who wants a straight-away
news story with a statement from
Mary s own lips that she was not
born in Dayton, O. And Mary han
dles them all skillfully, deftly side
stepping the avalanche of question
about her hair, her friendships, her
matrimonial ideas, her plans, her
clothes and her opinions on this, that
or the other.
Star Never Hesitates.
Nothing teases the unique O.'rden
or - causes her to hesitate, and Che
most impertinent personal questions
are treated with th same calm con
sideration as the most impersonal
pertinent ones.

about a letter I received today on my
arrival here. It had been written by
some good, kind old lady, I'm sure,
one of that litila Dand of sisters who
feel an urge to reform the other girls
who do not see t light as they see
it you know the kind.
'Well, this nice person, with out
raged virtue denoted in every cross
ing of her t's or dotting of her i's had
written me a lengthy letter, saying
she had been "reading all about the
McCormicks getting a divorce on ac
count of me' and beseeching me 'not
to separate that dear Irish tenor who
sung "Mother Machree" so beauti
fully, from his wife and two little
ones.' " j
Miss Garden A mil Med. ,
Miss Garden paused and laughed in
enjoyment of a situation.
"Obviously," she went on, "the dear
soul is a trifle mixed in her McCor
micks, and no "one will enjoy that
joke more than my good friend John."
"And Harold," I queried.
"And Harold," acquiesced Miss Gar

"I am not going back to New York

It has a big spirit of adventure,
and it's honest. I'll wager tuere are
less pamphlets and books on 'Eti

VAST ORGANIZATION BEHIND
STAGING OF GRAND OPERA
One Hundred Workmen Behind Scenes During Performances, Each
With Important and Necessary Duty to Perform.,
w
HEN one'thinks of the Chicago
Grand Opera company, Mary
Garden or one of the other in
ternational stars who are associated
with the company comes to mind.
Those who witness the performances
given by this or some other great or
ganizations give full praise to the
wonderful music, the startling scenic
and lighting effects, and of course
particular eredit to the song birds who
are featured each night.
But in every great organization,
and the Chicago Grand Opera com
pany is no exception, there is assort
of a super-man, a genius, a man of
vision with ability to serve as an ex
ecutive who is responsible .in a large
way for the great successes that are
gained by the confpany.
Technical Direction Important.
Harry W. Beatty, technical direc
tor, is the big chief of the Chicago
Opera company. He won't admit it.
of course, but ask anyone else, from
C. A. Shaw, business manager, down
to the most lowly super, and he will
fra-kly tell you that Itarry Is the
man upon which, everything depends.
Beatty plans the staga settings,
views and approves everything used
on the stage in any of the multitude
of productions presented by the com
pany during a year's time, arranges
the trains for tours, the number of
cars for freight as well as the num
ber of Pullmans necessary to carry
the company of 311 persons.
When a city where the company
plays an engagement is reached the
dressing rooms in the theater are as
signed by "Big Chief Beattie." Every
manager of every department back
stage takes his orders from Beattie
andjeports his results to Beattie.
Undertaking Is Enormous.
As one important member of the
Chicago staff stated yesterday, "Harry
Beattie is the organization. Of course
he gets results through co-ordinated
errort, and the gang will do anything
for him. but it's he who is resoonsible
'for everything back stage.". .
It is difficult to convey the enormity
of the undertaking with- which the
Chicago Grand Opera company is now
engaged bringing grand opera on a
nuge scaie across ine continent with
out sacrificing a thing and were it
not for the Chicago company Port
land people who can go to the public
auditorium this week to hear the in
ternationally famed stars sing would
be required to spend hundreds of dol
lars in a trip east to attend opera of
this caliber.
, Three Trains Used.
To bring grand opera to Portland.
the Chicago Grand Opera company
made up three passenger trains. In
addition 18 baggage cars, each 70 feet
long, were brought along. When the
company entered New York 35 bag
gage cars were reauired. a greater
number than is used by Ringling
Bros." circus to carry all of its ani
mals and paraphernalia.
In addition to the company 32 su-
pervisors and assistants made the
long journey. Lulian Dove, in charge
of the scenic department of the com
.pany, is here, and before and during
eacn performance this scenic artist
scans the settings and wherever a
touch of the brush is necessary to
remove the scars of travel, he gives
it.
During the Bummer, when the com
pany Is not playing in Chicago or on
tour, Mr. Dove constructs and paints
all of the scenery, and this is some
little bit. His department employs
16 men regularly with many others
during the rush periods.
Company Makes Scenery.
In this connection it is interesting
to know that every bit of property,
scenic and electrical equipment used
by the Chicago Grand Opera company,
other than electric light globes. Is
made in the studios and workshops of
the company in Chicago.
space on each, are filled with scenery,
properties and costumes belonging to
the company. A recent appraisal
made of this equipment resulted in a
valuation of 15,460,000, Mr. Beatty
said.
The property department, in charge
of William B. Young, is one of the
most interesting departments of the
company. On this tour Mr. Young
uses four assistants, as well as local
property men assigned to the com
pany by the local union. The Port
land men are assigned to their tasks
by Mr. Young, and work directly un
iler one ,of the assistants.
Musical Equipment Furnished.
Another assistant does nothing but

GRAND OPERA SINGER IS WEL
COMED HOME.
supply equipment for the five musical
directors who work back of the scenes
during the opera. This includes the
furnishing of organs, chimes, bells
and other musical instruments. An- crowd as
other assistant property man superin
tends -iio properties required on the
stage, while another does nothing but
superintend the leading and unload
ing of the 380 trunks that go with
the company.-
The auditorium basement, where
the trunks or the majority of them
are stored, looks like the Union sta
tion baggage room, but trunks are a
very necessary article in the grand
opera game. In Romeo and Juliet 17
trunkloads of properties are required,
while in Aida 31 are used, and "in
Thais 17. '
The chief property man must be a
historian as well as a constructor of
furniture and a thousand and'one ar
ticles that are needed in the various
performances. Every opera repre
sents some period, and everything
used in an operc must conform to the
period of the opera.
Style StudyNeceasary.
In Monna Vanna the time is the
15th century, while in Romeo and
Juliet the period represents' the 17th
century. ' Use of "a style unknown
during the period represented in the
opera, would draw down no end of
severe criticism and hence the need
of knowledge of history for the suc
cessful property man.
Every bit of furniture used in the
operas produced by the Chicago com
pany is made by the company. R. C.
Jeffers, boss carpenter, is the man in
charge of this important department,
and with him on this tour are eight
assistants, all of whom are busy with
local carpenters handling' the many
tasks that come before them.
In Portland, where it is thought
that the auditorium ' is larg-e, and,
compared with many "structures, is
large, every drop curtain used was
cut down in order that itnight get
through the "fly gallery" above. As
much as ten feet on each side of
some of the curtains came off, and
when San Francisco is reached these
drops must be made to fit the condi
tions in that auditorium.
Electrical Supplies Enormous.
One entire baggage car is required
to carry the electrical equipment used
by the company. This department is
in charge of Edward H. Mtfore, who
carries four assistants with him.
tn Chicago Mr. Moore operates a
regular electrical manufacturing con
cern for the sole purpose of turning
out equipment to- be used by the Chi
cago company. .T
In addition to these departments
there are others, such as the armor
department, in pharge of T. Henne
man, who designs and supervises the
making of all armor used by the com
pany. Then there is the wig depart
ment, the wardrobe department, and
others, too.
During the progress of a perform
ance as high as 100 Workmen are on
the stage, each with an important
duty to perform, but so well has Mr.
Beatty laid out the work of handling
the performance of the Chicago Grand
Opera company that in more than a
year not one minute's delay has been
Miss Margery Maxwell, Once Stu.
"dent at Jefferson High School,
Renews Old Friendships. '
Portland welcomed its own member
of the Chicago Grand Opera associ
ation with appropriate honors yester
day when Miss Margery Maxwell,
soprano, returned as a . conquering
heroine to her friends of this city.
In 1910 Miss Maxwell sang the lead
ing role of "Pinafore," presented at
Jefferson high school. She sang at
her old school again yesterday morn
ing, delighting a large audience with
her talent, which was discovered in
her student days there. She -sang
"Musetta's Waltz" from "La Boheme."
Then -she was escorted through the
school, to make new friends and
renew the ties of old friendships
among the members of the faculty-
At 12:30 P. M. a concert was given
in --her honor in the lobby of the
Multnomah hotel by the Portland
Symphony orchestra, directed by Carl
Denton. Hopkin- Jenkins, principal
of Jefferson high school, called on
Mayor Baker to introduce Miss Max
well to the audience, which filled the
big hotel lobby.
Mayor Baker, after tracing her
singing career, presented her to the
Portland's own star." Miss
Maxwell - responded with a short
speech of appreciation for her recep
tion here. After the concert the pretty
singer held a reception.
Men Connected With Production
of Monna Vanna Help to Fur
nish Guarantee Money.
(
Managers of theaters usually allow
their friends to witness productions
without payment of admission fees
and when the members of the families
of theatrical managers desire to wit
ness a performance they usually go
and think nothing of Daying.
But a new precedent was set In
theatrical circles in Portland this
week when William T. Pangle, Port
land manager of the Chicago Grand
Opera company, and Hal M. White,
manager of the Portland auditorium.
where the grand opera is produced
laid down cash for tickets to "Monna
Vanna" for members of their families.
Desire on the part of these two men
to bring every possible cent into the
hcuae so that the guarantors who
have put up $76,500 to bring the en
gagement to Portland, without hope
of financial return, may not suffer
loss on their account prompted their
course.
Passes were absolutely taboo on
"Monna Vanna" and the managers,
who found it necessary so to rule,
made no exception with themselves.
And, probably, this is the first time
in theatrical history of Portland, that
a theatrical-manager has paid full
price, war tax and all. to pass mem
bers of his own family into his own
house or to see an engagement put
on under his management.

opsis of scenes: Act 1 Ballroom in Capu-
let's house in Verona; Act II Capulet's
garden with -a view of Juliets apartment;
Act III A street In Verona; Act IV
Juliet's apartment; Act V The tomb of
the Capuleta.
The libretto follows Shakespeare's
play of the same name. Romeo and
several friends recklessly go to a
masquerade ball In the house of
Capulet, his family's enemy. There
Capulet's daughter Juliet and Romeo
fall in love without knowing each
other's Identity. Tybalt, Juliet's cou
sin, - recognizes Romeo, and with
friends attacks -him, but Capulet pro
tects his unwelcome guest. Later
Romeo pursues his love quest In the
garden beneath Juliet's balcony, but
is driven off by servants. The two
lovers plan to carry out a secr-et
marriage in the cell of Friar Law
rence. The two factions meet ,ln a
public square, where Tybalt of the
Capulets kills Romeo's friend Mer
cutlo, which Romeo avenges by slay
ing Tybalt. For this he is banished
by the prince of Verona. Capulet,
Ignorant of his daughter's marriage,
announces that ' she is to wed the
count" of Paris. To avoid this and
effect her escape to join Romeo, she
takes a potion which sends her into
a trance resembling death, and she is
laid in the family tomb. Romeo, be
lieving her dead, bursts into tha mau
soleum and takes poison at her bier.
She revives, and when he dies in her
arms ends her own life with a dag-N
ger.
SUCH dainty dishes as grilled gold
fish and humming birds a la Mary
land are supposed In popular fancy
to be the principal diet of grand opera
artists.
This isn't the case, however, with
Mary Garden, the tradition-breaker,
who has revolutionized so many
ideas in the world of music.
Mary loves a plate of good old-
fashioned tripe. This was the first
thing the famous artist ordered yes
terday noon when she and her sister.
Mrs. Edith" Walsh, slipped quietly into
the main dining room of the Multno
mah hotel for luncheon. Miss Gar
den's meal consisted -of a generous
portion of crab louis, plenty of tripe,
Spanish style, a baked apple and cof
fee., Mary ate with relish, for in some
miraculous manner she is able to eat
whatever she wants and still retain
her slim lines, perfect health and a
glorious singing voice.
One of the men singers in her com
pany stopped at her table for a greeting.
"What Is it that you eat?" he asked.
"Tripe," said Mary, "and it's very
good."
Ah, if you, such an artist, eat this,
and it helps you, give me a double
order of this dish, the tripe," said the
singer as he beckoned to a waiter.
Thus the lowly, much-abused tripe,
came into its own, and Portland chefs
received the inspiration for a new
epicurean delight, Tripe a la Mary
Garden.
Even during her luncheon yesterday
Miss Garden was approached by rep
resentatives of the small army of ad
mirers seeking her autograph on one
of her pictures. JBhe signs hundreds
of photographs every season.
Miss Garden s mail averages nearly
75 letters a day, according to Howard
E. Potter, her personal business rep
resentative.
, "Miss Garden gets every kind of
etters," said Potter yesterday, as let.
t-ers and telegrams ' piled up on his
desk. "People want to sell her every
thing from automobiles to shawls, or
they ask for autographed photos, or
information on being beautiful, or to
have their children's or friends' voices
heard. If she attended to all this cor.
restiondence herself she would have
no time to devote to grand opera."
From an artistic standpoint, the
most useless thing in the world is a
ballet dancer with a sprained ankle.
This is the unfortunate condition of
Miss Charlotte Schuchardt, who hob
bled about yesterday with the aid of
cane. -
Miss Schuchardt sprained her ankle
during the performance of "Tann
hauser" on the last night of the St.
Paul engagement. She is having a
vacation until the injured member
regains the strength necessary for
the difficult steps of her profession.
She is typical of the ballet girls of
the company, sparkling with en- i
thusiasm about everything and sin
cerely interested in her work. She
is a member of the Kappa Alpha
Theta sorority, a national college
society for girls.
Two important members of the Chi
cago company whose names never
appear on a programme, are Virgola
and Tosca, canine pets of Rosa Raisa,
the soprano.
Virgola is a Mexican Chihuahua,
and the name, which means "comma"
in Italian, is appropriate. Tosca is
a Pomeranian. Miss Raisa is de
voted to her two little dogs, and
they have a luxurious existence,
rooms at the best hotels and a
place of honor in the dressing rooms
of their mistress back stage.
Giorgio Polacco and Glacomo Ri
mini are not only gifted conductors
of grand opera, but talented ama
teur photographers. They are great
friends, and spend much of their
spare time together, taking pictures
and experimenting with new . phases
of artistic photography.
They have a small fortune invested
in photographic equipment, and are
carrying about a dozen expensive
cameras, including a motion picture
camera, on their tour.
Polacco won many honors in Italy
for his photographic studies, and
continues it as a relaxation and
hobby.
1 "America leads tha world in many
types of photography." he said yes
terday. "I have been much Interested
in studying American methods. Your
newspaper photographers do splen
did work considering the handicaps
they must labor under. The photo
graphy in color in American Sunday
newspapers is marvelously beautiful.
There is nothing to compare with it
anywhere in the world.
If artistic temperament of the dis
agreeable sort were money, the Chi
cago Grand Opera company wouldn't
be worth 20 cents in the open market.
This has been demonstrated at the
Multnomah hotel, where about 160
members of the company are quar
tered. The distinguished visitors
from the world of song conduct them
selves iust as simply and politely as
any other group of persons would. To
dateHhere have been no calls tor mns
baths, and no bellboy's blood has been
sousrht bv any Irate, tenor because a
window was opened an inch too muoh.
"We don't have temperamental out
bursts in our company." said H. W.
Beatty. business superintendent of the
organization. "All the members oi
the company are Americans, or for
eigners who have adopted the Amer
ican code of living."
"They're the easiest crowd to han
dle we ever had." said Richard Childs,
publicity manager of the Multnomah
hotel.
The proudest man in Portland today
is William F. Isaacs, clothier of Med-ford.
He heard a knock on his door at the
hotel yesterday, and found a bowing

the part a vital and engrossing his
trionic achievement.
,Cyrena Van Gordon brought a posi
tive and well-defined dramatic fire to
the part of Ortrud, while Baklanoff's
Telramund was unforgettable in its
dignity and force.
The role of Henry, Germany's king,
was splendidly portrayed by Edouard
Cotreuil, whose . art is convincing.
Desiree Defrere completed the cast
of principals in the role of the her
