Annual Parade Slated. 1 Tomorrow the annual parade ofl the legion will be held, and if the enthusiasm with which small bevies, u ,. . v v. : .... j ,J . I nave ueeu . nidi uiiuiB oim uunn the streets whenever someone sug gested it was appropriate, it may be assumed that the parade will be a big one. .' The women's convention, that of the American Legion auxiliary, goc under way in earnest today, after a late start and a brief session yes terday. A feature of tomorrow's session of the convention will be the ad dress by Kenesaw. M. Landis, foe of slackers when he served as fed eral district judge in Chicago dur ing the war. Mr. Landis, now supreme com missioner of baseball, received an impromptu reception of great en thusiasip last night when he reached New Orleans. Cheering veterans bore the white-haired "partner" on their shoulders through hotel lobbies, shouting his name and asserting, in reply to their own question of "What's the matter' with Landis?" the em phatic assurance, "He's all right!" Other Cities Surprised. Persons who have been closely following the campaigns of various candidates for national commander of the legion declared v that the early selection of San Francsico as the convention city had proved a surprise to those who had expected to gain Pacific coast support for their candidates in exchange for votes for San Francisco for the convention. Hanford MacNider, national com mander of the legion, closed to day's session with the announce ment: "That is all for today; tomorrow at 9 o'clock we convene, and then the fireworks starts." Mr. MacNider smilingly declined to amplify his prediction of "fire works" or to say whether he ex pected the injection into the delib erations of the convention of issues which have heretofore male no public appearance during' the con vention sessions. No Questions Settled. These questions are understood to include a possible fight on be half of resolutions calling for modi fication of the Volstead act to per mit the sale of beer and light wine; criticism of President Harding's veto of the adjusted soldier com pensation measure; attack on the activities of Brigadier-General C E. Sawyer, President Harding's physician, in connection with the hospitalization programme sought by the legion, and perhaps some statement of the legion's attitude toward the Ku Klux Klan, which, it was intimated, might go so far as to suggest incompatibility of legion naires becoming members of the secret organization. None of these questions has yet been definitely settled in the com mitee meetings in progress since the opening of the convention, and those who seek action on them con tinued to predict that this will be brought to the attention of the convention either through commit tee action or directly from the floor. the finance committee of the Sym phony society and has been an ac tive supporter of the orchestra since its inception. "The orchestra is largely a re sult of unselfish work on the part of the musicians," Rabbi Wise con tinued, "and should be taken up by the general community and al lowed to come to a point- of excel lence in keeping with musical needs.' Portland is entitled to good music, and local musicians can give it good music if local people will support them." The drive for members of the Symphony society, which began last week, will be continued this week in the business district. Different teams of men will assist the wom en's teams, many of vhich will re main in the field. Competition will center about which office building makes the most generous response to the drive. The goal of the campaign is 1000 members at an annual fee of $10 each. This amount, it is estimated, will be sufficient to carry the ex penses of the orchestra, which in former years liave been borne by about 65 friends of the music organization. MacDowell Club Favored by Miss Tosca Berger. Artistic Violin Recital Proves Unusual Musical Treat. OREGOJT MEN ARE BUSY Strong Campaign for Re-election of Ed Elvers Under Way. NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 17. (Special.) The Oregon delegation at New Orleans is running true to form by working nighf and day. BY C. HILTON-TURVEY. THE second musical session of the A MacDowell club took place In the ballroom of the Multnomah hotel yesterday afternoon. Miss Tosca Berger, violinist, was the soloist, with J. Hutchison at the piano. The first number, a concerto (Opus 82) by Glazounow, is a work which requires not only unusual technique of the soloist, but also demands a virtuoso pianist for the accompaniment. Both parts are immensely difficult from beginning to end, with hardly an interval for breathing space. The first move ment, moderato, is possibly the choice for its rich melodic content. Miss Berger played it with fine vigorous tone and splendid bowing. The second movement, andante, suggests the etude. It seems almost overweighted by florid passages. It contains a long cadenza for the vio lin, which rings the changes upon probably every difficulty known in the literature of this temperamental instrument. The third and final movement, an allegro, is charming. One bit, a melody like a barcarolle, Bang above a piano pedale with de lightful effect. The whole work, which never before ha been played In Portland, is markedly character istic of the virile Russian school and most interesting in both Its instru ments. . . A romanze of Bruch initiated the second group. The opening minor theme was smooth, suave and in fine contrast with the preceding compo sition. Wieniawski's "Scherzo-Tar-antelle" (op. 16), a well-known "show piece" for technical elect, bristling with difficulties, ended this group. The rondo capriccoso (op. 28), Saint-Saens, finished the pro gramme with its encore, "Abendlied" (Schumann). Mr. Hutchison's art was delight fully evident throughout and im plied symphonic harmonic values rather than, those of a single instru ment, both in manner and tonal quality. e New The Sensation of Portland! Already Unhesitatingly Purchased by the City's Most Discriminating Buyers!
