FOUR different kinds of solos,
violin, piano, soprano and basso
profundo, were combined last
night in a splendid radio concert
broadcast from The Oregonian tow
er, and each one of the four artists !
was warmly applauded by radio lis
teners. Those who took part were
Miss Helen Harper, violinist; Miss
Jean Harper, pianist; Mrs. Tin! Suf
field, soprano, and O. A. Olson, basso
profundo. After several concerts in
succession of chorus, group, orches
tra and chamber music, a pro
gramme consisting entirely of solos
proved a happy innovation.
The Misses Harper, sisters, proved
themselves quite up to the high
standards which they had set in
previous radio concerts in The Ore
gonian tower. Both are extremely
talented musicians, just entering
professional work, and each has ac
quired a splendid professional repu
tation. Each played three solos last
night. Miss Helen Harper, violinist,
assisted at the piano by her sister,
played "On the Wings of Song,"
(Mendelssohn-Achron)', "Hymn to
the Sun" (Rimsky-Korsakoff-Kreis-ler)
and "Caprice Vennois," from
Kreisler's Opus No. 2.
Mrs. Tin! Suffield's beautiful so
prano voice was still fresh in the
memories of radio listeners from her
solo work in the Sunday night con
cert, when she made her radio debut
in The Oregonian studio and simul
taneously, achieved a triumph. Her,
recent contribution in no way af
fected the appreciation of the large
audience which heard, her solos. As
sisted at the piano by Miss Jean
Harper, Mrs. Suffield repeated Mas
cheroni's "Ave Maria," a number she

sang on Sunday night, and her other
two numbers were "The Rosary" and

O. A. Olson was the first basso
profundo to sing in The Oregonian
studio. Mr. Olson has a big, deep
voice, full of resonance and well
controlled. It is well adapted to
broadcasting and his performance
last night was declared a success by
many listeners who telephoned their
appreciation. He was assisted at
the piano by Mrs. Warren E. Fitch
and sang "In Deisen Heilgen Hollen"
(Mozart), "Down Deep Within the
Cellar" (Fisher) and "The Big Bass
Viol" (Bohannon).
The piano solos of Miss Jean Har
per were most beautifully rendered
and successfully broadcast, proving
in each of the three instances a dis
tinct feature. Miss Harper played
direct io
from
Liebestraume No. 3" (Liszt), "Jap
anese Etude, Opus 21, No. 2" (Pol-
dini) and "Chopin" iGodard).
.
Another plan to provide a divisi-
sion of time between amateur and
broadcasting stations, for the mu
tual benefit of all concerned, has
been presented by O. 11. ltedfern,
radio inspector of the seventh dis
trict, which includes Oregon.
This plan, Mr. Kedftrn hopes, will
be adopted throughout the entire
seventh district, as it offers a num
ber of listening periods in addition
to a fair division of time for the two
classes of radio stations working in
the "air."
Mr. Redfern's suggestions are as
follows:
1. A suitable half hour between 6:30
P. M. ana P. M., to be designated as a
quiet period, to- allow long uistance re
ception without interference trom local
amateurs and broadcasters.
i. The time Irum i A. AI. to 7 P. M.
daily, to be open tor both amateur and
broadcast transmission.
3. Tne time irom 7 P. M. to 10:30
P. M. daily, wltn the. exception of the
quiet half nour, to be allotted to the
broadcasting stations.
4. There snail be no amateur trans
mitting between 7 P. il. and lu:30 P. M.
daily in accordance wit It tne recommen
dations ot tne American Kadio Kelay
league.
0. Suggestion No. 4 shall not apply to
C. W. continuous waves transmitters pro
viding the signals from these transmit
ters cauae no interference with the re
ception of tne broadcasts.
0. Amateur stations to be allotted 'the
time from 10:80 P. M. to 7 A. M. and
no broadcasting to be allowed after 10:30
P. if.
Mr. Redfern has asked the .local
amateur organizations to vote on his
suggestions before the first of .the
year. If this plan is adopted
throughout the seventh district the
quiet periods could be so separated
that fans in Washington, Oregon,
Montana, Idaho and Wyoming will
all be able to listen in to outside
stations. These quiet periods gould
be arranged as follows, he suggests:
6:30 P. M. to 7 P. M., quiet In Wash
ington. 7 P. M. to 7:30 P. M., quiet In Oregon.
7:20 P. M. to 8 P. M., quiet in Mon
tana. 8:30 P. M. to 7 P. M., quiet in Idaho
and Wytming.
"The perfection of your concert
moves me to compliment you on the
same," writes E. M. McLachlan of
Los Gatos, Cal., of the dance con
cert from KGW last Friday evening.
"One number, especially, seemed ex
cellent, and that was "Forgotten."
If you can prevail upon Mr. Olson to
play it again next Friday it cer
tainly would please us all down
here."
Operators of the naval radio sta
tion at Anchorage, Alaska, write that
they can hear KGW'j broadcasts all
over their "shack." Anchorage is
at the head of Cooks inlet and is
more than 1500 miles from Portland
