The warm ovation given Nevada at her first appearance la tMs city last Mon day night may tee regarded first as an acknowledgment of her high standing and worth as a. coloratura singer and exponent of the pure bel canto of the Italian school, and secondly as a tribute to the intelligence, winsomeness and bright daring of her American woman hood, shown conspicuously at all times and m all places, but notably in her re cent Spanish adventure. Notwithstand ing her long sojourn abroad, she is thor oughly American aad democratic at heart, and the people know it, and love her for it. Viewed as an artist, her successful ap pearance in Portland was something. be side a persoBoi triumph. It may be re garded as a. tribute to the Italian meth od of tone-production. She received her training in Vienna under MarchcsL Many of her most notable successes have been Ron In Italy, "the Lord's own conserv atoire." as some one has called It, the home of melody, the land where tonal art Is at its purest and best. From her debut in 'La Sonnambula" up to the present time she has sung mainly In the Italian tongue, a language that te more replete with pure vowel sounds than any other language the world has known. The part that language plays in the production of a pure and beautiful tone is generally un derestimated. If Nevada had accustomed herself to the rough consonants and to the unkind gutturals of the Germans, In place of the liquid flow of vowel sounds that characterizes the Italian tongue, she would never have aoqutred so tender and beautiful a portamento, such subtle grad ations of crescendo and dimuendo on long Eustaned notes (meeea di voce). Insur mountable physical difficulties form the basis of the inferiority of the German method of tone-production. The fact must not be overlooked, however, that nature had first endowed Nevada with a voice that was light, flexible, full of buoyant grace and hence eminently suited to color atura singing. In place of a big dramatic voice, adapted by nature to be the vehicle or intensity and power, of emotional ut terance such as is commonly associated "A ith the German school. The kind reception accorded Nevada's art Monday night is of no small signifi cance locally, since it shows that Port land peoplethe same people, be It noted, that hae but recently given so conspicu ous a demonstration of their enthusiasm for German, particularly "Wagnerian song are not narrowed down to any one school of music, but are broad and lib eral enough to recognize the worth of rival schools. Bach has its merits, each has its limitations. The Germans lay e tress upon the intellectual working out oT the dramatic Idea of the composer, and develop emotional sincerity and a splen did stjle rather than subtle nuances, or purity and beauty of tone. "Whereas with the Italians artistic vocalization is the main end sought. For a long time in Italy operas were composed merely to exhibit he .marvelous flexibility and Eweetness of the human voice, rather than as in Germany, to excite the imagina tion and stir up the soul to action by the vivid presentment of spiritual truths. Clarence Eddy, who will appear in Port land next week, under the auspices of the Musical Club, was born June 23, 1861, in Greenfield, Mass., and began his mu sical education at the age of 1L In 1867 he studied under Dudley Buck, at Hart ford Conn , and from 188 to 1S71 was organist of Bethany church, Montpeller. t Then he went to Berlin and studied under August Haunt and Albert Loesch hom Returning to this country in 1874, he became organist of the First Congre gauonal church, of Chicago, and after two jcars went to the First Presbyterian church, where he was organist and choir master for 17 years. In 1S76 he became general director of the Hershey school t musical art at Chicago, and gave there h s famous series of 1W organ recitals v thout any repetitions. Mr. Eddy has T "'ved at the Vienna exposition in 1S73: . ctennial exposition, Philadelphia, In lv"6 Paris exposition, in 1888, and the k rld s fair at Chicago in W&, and con ' zed In the chief American and Euro pean oIMes with distinguished success. Of his rtejing no more need be said than was contained in the testimonial r-lvon h m b the great German master, August Huipt "In organ playing the perform an i s of Mr. Bddy are worthy to be desig r vi as eminent, and he is undoubtedly tl peer of the greatest living organists." iMs a long time since any Wagnerian f "t - has trtmpked here as Mine.

This gives promise of becoming a great personation, says the New Tork Mail and Express, Its present limitations being only those of the slncer's ace and temperament. It has not yet quite enough oi tne pnuosophy, of the genial, mellow, ripe human nature of the poet-cobbler In It. Mr. Vay Booy's make-up, as well as the rest of his conception, seemed rather too young for the character. He sang t,he music with superb vitality and torce, ana it suits his voice exactly. Mr. Van Rooy used the recitative more than his predecessors here In the role have done. Perhaps this Is the current mode at Bayreuth. His Hans -Sachs will no doubt become as fine as his great Wotan in time. Mr. Fredericks, the famous German Beckmesser, played that role to the life, never overdoing the town clerk's clown Ishness, but realizing the fun as well as the reasonableness of the character. Grelgs action In declining to visit Paris during the exposition and produce some of his compositions, on account of the verdict in the Dreyfus' case, has produced severe criticism, says the editor of Mu sic; people falling to see the connection betwen music and politics. Theodore EMMA CALVEJ, (Copyright, 1839, Thomas has declined ostensibly for the same reason, though it Is said the real cause for the refusal Is the lack of finan cial support necessary for such an under taking. "It is but a question of time," says a Portland musician, "when all students of Bach will possess and use the 'colored no tation' of the fugues, which brings out the voice parts with great distinctness."

The second of the series of concerts by the Portland Symphony orchestra will be given at the Marquam Grand on the evening of Tuesday, February 6. The svmphony selected for this occasion is Mozart's No. 40 In G minor. In Mozart's autograph catalogue the symphony In G minor Is set down as writ ten July 25. 178S, which refers probably to the day of completion. "Minor key," says a writer, "has become with us a synonym of somberness, sadness and mel ancholy; but Mozart's sadness is not of the tragic kind. Once in the realm of Instrumental mjsic his hellenic nature never could succumb to the deep dis tresses of the soul. The restlessness of the first and second movements, the en ergy of the themes of the minuet and finale, the sudden transitions from piano to fortissimo. Instead of giving us the impression of real anguish or despair, as some writers would have us believe, seem more like the expression of a ruffled tem per on the part of the composer. "This symphony has always been a great favorite with composers. Schubert said: 'You can hear the angels singing In it. Mendelssohn held It In high esteem, and there Is a report that Beethoven scored It foe orchestra from a piano edi tion of it. Mozart himself was very fond of It. The andante is not based on a long cantilena, like most of his adagios, but betrays rather a restless spirit, and we easily realize that poor Mozart feels out of sorts; but the cloud soon passes, and In the trio he smiles again and dismisses his "blues' with a Joke. "The 'Finale Allegro Assai is a work of such marvelous skill that, while the musical student can best appreciate the genius of the master by close study of the score, yet the listener Is never op pressed by Its intricacies. All Is clear, beautiful and full of life and energy from the opening phase which embodies the characters of the whole movement to the last note." .Following is the entire programme for the evening: March "Tannhauser" "Wagner Overture "Der Freischutz" Weber (a) Intermezzo "Cavalleria Rusticana" Mascagnl Cb) Gavotte, from "Mlgnon" Thomas "Le Chevalier Belle Etolle" Holmes Mrs. Walter Reed.

Blavatsky, Fat Priestess of the Blnttatinas. Mme. Calve did not want to talk about theosophy. Neither did the Sun reporter. Calve took the subject too seriously, and the reiorter couldn't take It seriously enough. Then, too, there was a large leather screen between them. By one who has never tried to talk theosophy in French through a thick screen to an in visible hut melodious voice which 13 try ing on a costume for the role of Cheru blno, the difficulties of the situation can hardly be understood. Moreover, Mme, Calve has a most Ingenious contrivance for the utter demoralization of reporters less than seven feet tall. In the big drawing-room of her apartment at Sherry's she has a carved oak chair, of formidable feudal aspect. Its back tow ers celllngward, and the seat follows the back untl It has left the floor far, far below. The late lamented Cardiff giant might possibly have AS "CARMEN." by Alroe Dupont.) been at ease In it. There's a tradition that Plancon can sit in It and touch his toes to the floor. But Plancon has" been, king so often, and is so used to stage thrones, that he would doubtless feel quite at home In his fellow-singer's chair. The Sun reporter didn't. She swung her feet, and wondered. Idly, whether Calve's com panion and maid had explicit instructions to run every unwelcome visitor into that particular chair and keep her there during the call. The prima donna's smile was sweet and her manner was winning; but underneath that velvety exterior might lurk relentless cruelty. Belief es in Blavntsky. "Tes, I am a theosophlst," the voice behind the screen announced In musical tones, "but I do not like to talk about It. As a singer I belong to the public. It is, my metieri the singing, and you say what jou please about my voice; but my religion that Is quite another affair. Even an opera singer has a soul and would like to find the truth about spiritual things. I am not clever; but I have al ways longed for some explanation of life and destiny. I think I have found it in theosophy and so I believe in It. That Is all." "Is It recent, this conviction, Mme. Calve?" "What do you call 'recent'? I have been study theosophy earnestly for eight years. Long before that I was interested in occultism. I am busy, but I read and study. Mme. Blavatsky has Influenced me tremendously. It Is a great regret to me that I never knew her. What a marvel ous -woman! How her books help one to live! Tou see, I do not talk doctrines. I do not argue. Among my Intimate friends perhaps, yes; but for the public, no. I am not wise. I do not pretend to explain the mysterious things of life. It would be absurd, pretentious, for me to attempt that, or even to tell my views. That such women as Mme. Blavatsky and Mme. Besant may do. I do not even understand, save dimly. How could I explain? But I believe." "And your experience justifies your toe lief?" "A thousands times. It is through per sonal experience as much as through rea son that I am convinced I have had ex periences that could be explained In no other way; but. no, I cannot tell of them. That would be profanity. Tvlind, I don't say that only theosophy holds the truth. Buddha, Christ, all the great teachers, have seen the truth, and all the religions founded by them hold much that Is beau tiful and worthy of study and faith. Thrlvei In Gay Pnree. "The feeling for spiritualism, theosophy, occultism in all Its terms, is stronger in Paris than here. Tou are more practical, more conservative, less Impressionable, and perhaps you have a smaller coterie of what we call 'les gens d'esprlt I find that in Paris most of the men d'esprit the men of brains and feeling, the men of letters and the arts are interested in occultism, study psychic phenomena, be lieve more or less In spiritualism. Per haps the artistic nature Is more highly strung, more sensitive to impressions than the average nature, and so is more sus ceptible to psjehical influences." At this juncture something went wrong with the costume, and for the time being theosophy went to the wall, while the sinsrer grappled with problems purely ma terial. The reporter realized that her dangling feet had gone to sleep, and. fol lowing a train of psychic suggestion, re membered that the onlv other time she was ever In such fleshv torture was when Fhe tried to talk esoteric Buddhism In French with a Chinese minister.

"Ah, yes; I have had the good fortune. Vivekahanda has had great influence in Paris. If I could but study earnestly enough to attain what such mind3 have reached!"

The reporter had been much subdued by the singer's seriousness and the hypnotic brass button; but a vision of Calve among the Togls, in that Cherublno costume, was too much for any one's gravity. The prima donna was too audaciously, materially be witching to be put into occult perspective. A sight of her would make the sternest of Mahatmas forswear asceticism and take to front-row opera seats. The Indian re treat selected by her would be besieged by Buddhists, Brahmins, Mohammedans and Christians, clamoring for instruction In ps chics, and yet she was so earnest about her convictions, so anxious that they should be taken seriously, and that her astral body should take precedence of the material. In the days before the mantle of peace and universal love descended upon the Grau opera company, there were members of that body who used to call Mme. Calve "scatter-brained."
