GRAU HAS A NEW TENOR Scmbricli and Bisplinm Before Lars cat Audience Known In Doaton Music Hall Otlicr News. .Pierre Cormibert, the new tenor, for whose Introduction Meyerbeer's "L'Afri calne" was recently sung at the Metro politan, did one thing that deserved recog nition, says the New York Evening Sun. Ho sang: in tune. This achievement, af ter some of the depressing exhibitions given by other tenors this year, will go far toward excusing the obvious faults of the newcomer. M. Cornubert's methods of voice production are such as to deprive hla middle register of appealing quality, but his higher notes have the true ring, and It was these alone which caused the audience to ask a repetition of the prin cipal tenor aria In act 4. The voice Is a genuine tenor, powerful in the upper register, and of sufficient range. Dra matically, M. Cornubert is Immature. A elender, youthful figure might well be the glory of an operatic tenor, but the poses must not be rigidly conventional. Unfor tunately, the footlights are a magnet to M. Cornubert's feet, and he beats a re treat only In order to resume his paces forward. It Is only fair to say. however, that the new tenor Is. in existing circum stances, a real addition to the operatic forces, and that the very faults of his youthfulness will commend him to many seasoned opera-goers. Fortunate Is Man ager Grau, who can conjure up tenors at a few days' notice, and can continue to delight matinee audiences with the spec tacular ballets of "L'Afrlcalne." Mme. Sembrich Is to be the soloist at the Cincinnati musical festival, and may appear In other festivals, although she has declined two offers which would pre vent her remaining in this country after May 12. She will have sung this season in the three principal musical festivals of the country. "Worcester, Maine and Cin cinnati. She sang recently to the largest audience ever gathered in the Boston Music Hall, at a concert, in which she was assisted by David BIspham. Maurice Grau has decided that his opera company shall next year have an extra orchestra and chorus for the Philadelphia season. The work of appearing thrice a week In the neighboring town is too ex acting for these branches of the organiza tion, and practically prevents rehearsals. The chorus and orchestra leave In a spe cial train every Tuesday and Thursday, returning to New York after the perform ance. That brings them here In the early morning hours, and as rehearsals are called at 11 o'clock. It can be seen that they are too much overworked to make good work possible. It Is less exacting for the principals, although they, too. rebel against tho frequent Journey. They usu ally depart, however, on the day preced ing the performance, as their expenses arc paid by the management, If they have not forgotten to put a clause to that effect in their contracts. The preparation of the new works, announced this year, has been delayed by the demands of the Phil adelphia season, and Mr. Grau proposes to take steps in the future to prevent these postponements. Sometimes the comments of the casual attendants at the Metropolitan Opera House are interesting, as they explain the different views of the audience, says e. New York critic When Mme. Calve last sang in "Faust," two Interested audi tors, hanging over the brass rails, were very much Interested in the large cross that stands In the prison scene. One of them was naturally anxious to find out how it happened to be there. "Oh, that's where her brother's buried," said one with an air of great wisdom. "Don't you re member, he was killed in the last act?" At "Die Melstersinger" there was uncer tainty in the minds of two auditors as to the Identity of Mme. Eames In the opera, "She Is the goldsmith's daughter," ex plained the Inevitable wise man; "the old Jeweler's." This Information did not satisfy the other. "Jeweler's daughter," he repeated. Incredulously. "Not she. If it's any Jeweler, though, It must be Tif fany." A new opera, that brings the American public temporarily into contact with the latest musical thought In Europe Is Splnel li's. "At the Lower Harbor." which ha3 just been produced in New York by the Castle Square Opera Company. After seeing the opera in representation. It la easy to understand Its fate, says the New York Sun. In Berlin and other German cities It gained great praise. The mu sicianship of the composer, as shown in the expressive and varied orchestration, his ability to write a stirringly dramatic score, even If it lacked melodic originality, and Ms, complete masters of the orches tra were every whrr? praised, and tho work was regarded as a really notable example of modern operatic writing. Yet, after , all this praise and enthusiasm, it dronp'ed from the repertoire after only a few "per formances, and this Is readily explicable in view of the character of Its text. Such accumulated horrors have never before been contained In three acts of a short opera, and if any crime be missing, it Is one that the author considered too un dramatic for use on the stage. "At the Lower Harbor" is utterly unpalatable to American taste. Queen Victoria was so delighted with the American violinist. Miss Leonora Jack son, when by special Invitation she played before her at "Windsor Castle, that she presented her. as a memento of her visit, a cross of diamonds. Miss Jackson Is described as a little slip of a girl, hardly out of her teens; yet she returns to Amer ica after winning the most valuable mu sical laurels that Germany. England and France can bestow. Educated in Ger many, the favorite pupil of the great Joachim, she was commanded to play be -! the heartiest praise; the won the Men delssohn slate prize, and. In Paris, she played the Brahms concerto, and won Ave recalls. Miss Frances Jones, who Is studying organ In New York under Dudley Buck and "William C. Carl, has decided to re main several months lonrer. She 1b re ported as making great advancement In her musical work, which Includes piano stud, as well as organ, Mr. Laurence Pease has been engaged to sing the tenor role In "Hiawatha's "Wed ding Feast," which is to be given by the Philharmonic Society, of Seattle Miss E. M. McGinn appeared at a recent concert given in Boston by some of tha students of Mme. Helen Hopeklrk's ad vanced class of the New England Con servatory of Music She will appear agaiu in March. AMOHG THE COLLEGES. Events of the "Wcelc at the State Uni versity and ElHCTTHcrc. The main topic of conversation in and about the State University at present Is the coming oratorical contest, which will be held at Monmouth next Friday even ing. The University of Oregon has won first place In three of the eight contests already held, and the wearers of the lemon are anxiously awaiting the result of the coming struggle. Mr. Jakway, the University of Oregon's representative, will be accompanied to Monmouth by the following-named delegates: C. A. Redmond. 03: Chester Fisher, '03; TV. H. Johnson, 02; E. S. Van Dyke. '01: Miss "Winnie Ml' ler, '01; M. L. Applegate, '00, and Homer D. Ange'.l, '03. At the regular meeting of the Academy of Sciences last Saturday evening Mr. B. E. Spencer read a very Interesting paper on "Vein Homologies of Insects' Wings." The Y. M. C. A. has elected officers for the ensuing year, as follows: President, TV. Gilbert Beattlc. '01; vice-president, John B. Wlnstanley, '03; recording cecre- tary. E. E. Cood, '03; corresponding sec retary. Charles Campbell, '02; treasurer. C. V. Ross. '02; librarian. C. E.

Schmidt will deliver a lec ture on "The Travels of a Myth" before tho Socletas Qulrlnall next Tuesday even ing. The Laurean Eutoxeon and Phllologian Literary Societies held their regular meet ings Friday. A large number of students attended the lecture given by Joaquin Miller the even ing of February 22. The 'Varsity Indoor Baseball Team was defeated at Corvallis by the Oregon Agri cultural College players Thursday last by a score of 17 to 12. The University cf Ore gon players put up a creditable game, but were lacking In experience. The O. A. C. men can safely claim the state champion fehlp in this sport. Music Is booming at the University now. The Glee Club is working hard on tho programme for its April tour through the Southern towns. The Treble Clef is prac ticing for a concert to be given some time in April, and others are striving to ac quire mastery over various stringed In struments. Last Saturday the freshmen basket-ball players defeated a scrub team 14 to 6. The proposed tour to Port'and, Salem and Vancouver had to be given up, as suffi cient guarantees to cover expenses were not forthcoming. Track athletics are beginning to warm up slightly. A few ambitious sprinters are testing their abilities, and the bicycle riders are doing some sidewalk work on the back streets. Trainer Trine Is expect ed In a few weeks, and then the season will open in earnest. Monnt Angel College. A beautiful bronze cross now surmounts the dome of the new monastery. It was unvdled last Sunday in the presence of a large assemblage. The ceremonies were conducted by Rev. Father Adelhelm O'Dermatt. O. S. B., prior. This community mourns the loss of one of Its members. Brother Francis, who died Tuesday evening. He was In his 55th year, and had been for some time previous a severe sufferer from heart troubles. The action of T. A. A. A. O. In lgnor inr Mount Angel is causnig much dissat isfaction, and much adverse criticism among the members of the track team. The manner in which Mount Angel's claim was treated Is certainly a surprise to all, and It is hoped that more satisfactory explanations may be forthcoming. Pacific University. Last Monday night was held the regular meeting of the Current History Club. Pro fessor Robertson delivered a lecture on "The Constitutional Growth of Japan." Last Friday occurred the intercollegiate debate between Willamette and Pacific Universities. The decision was rendered In favor of Pacific Last Saturday evening th'- Gamma Sigma Society debated the question, "Re solved, That Taylor Was Elected Governor of Kentucky."

GADSKI-WOMAN, ARTIST HER GREAT ROLES ARE ELSA, ELIZ ABETH AND SEXTA. Slie la Younff anil LoTe Her Home Her nemarUable Energry and FrcauncBS. Johanna Gadski, the great Wagnerian soprano, who Portland musicians are ear nestly hoping will be heard in this city, on her Western tour, in company with Da vid BIspham, the famous baritone, atid Mr. Damrosch, comes to the Pacific Coast, flushed with her .Metropolitan successes In New York. Faithful to a previous con tract for this concert tour, she now leaves Mr. Grau's Company before the Metropol itan opera season is fln!ohed, since her three years' contract, recently concluded with Grau, Included this stipulation. The concerts planned for this tour deal with the Wagnerian operas, a subject in which Portland music-lovcTs are Just now deeply interested. Mr. Damrosch gives explana tory talks. Illustrating these also at tho piano. As he Is a brilliant pianist, he has been achieving marked success along these lines in New York this season. Few of the younger singers have accom plished as much as Madame Gadski In so short a time, and none have shown them selves more versatile than she. At the age of 27 she is a great prima donna, conceded to be Ideal In such roles as Elsa, in "Lohengrin"; Elizabeth, In "Tannhau scr," and Senta, In ''The Flying Dutch man" this laot being her favorite role, says Emma Davison Nlckolls, in Music She is rapidly growing into the maturer Brunhildes. and she scored a decided suc cess, when Madame Ternlna's Illness In New York made It necessary for her to sing those parts. Grent Capacity for Work. Some Idea of the tremendous amount of work Madame Gadski composes and her facility for acquiring her roles may be had. when It Is known that she learned In 10 weeks three new operas In Italian, a language with which she was previously not familiar. These operas are "Alda," "Les Huguenots" and "Cavallerla Rusti cana." On the evening of her debut as Alda, in Philadelphia, she was given a per fect ovation. Judging from the enthusiasm of her au diences and the eagerness of managers to secure engagements, she was pre-eminently the concert singer of last season. Eight weeks of that work, with such organiza tions as the Symphony Orchestra, of Bos ton: the Philharmonic, Liederkrantz and Arion Societies, of New York; an opera season, lasting from December 1 to April 1, during which time she Gang as many as five evenings a week; another eight weeks of concert; add to that a London eeason of six weeks and her Bayreuth engagement, from the middle of July to tho middle of August, with all the attend ant fatigue of travel, and It will easily be seen that such a tax can be endured, only by one who possesses unusual mental vigor and glorious vitality. The London sea son at Covent Garden with the Grau forces has been a triumph for the great soprano, as her re-engagement for the next three seasons testifies. All accounts of her Eva. In the "Melstersinger." at the Wagner Festival, give her enthusiastic praise. Her Early Yearn. When Madame Gadski was 11 years old, and when she was singing with other children In school, the beautiful voice was discovered. Her parents at once consult ed Madame Schroeder-Chaloupka, of Stet tin. Germany, who advised that the voice bo cultivated, and she has been Gadskl's only teacher. Her studies began rather early, and the public debut was made at the age of IS. at the Kroll Theater, In Berlin. Like all conscientious art'stf?. she believes In an intelligent understanding of the theme, and cf the artistic thought of the composer, before making any attempt at Interpretation. Born in Stettin, with these German sen timents, she dwells affectionately In con versation upon her country. Its history its lore She comes of German and Polish parentage. Inheriting from her estimable mother that which distinguishes all Ger man women as "Immer flelsslg." The av erage picture of a prima donna's life, with hours in bed cherishing the gift of voice, long periods of rest, during which time a maid supplies every move ment, does not describe Madam Gadskl's days. Rarely does she rise later than 9 o'clock, and, excepting for the time spent in study, or when the accompanist comes to assist with some difficult passage, her hours are spent much as are those of oth er people. Although invited frequently, this charm ing woman, so delightful to meet so daily, seldom goes Into society. Nor does she go often to the theater, when not on duty. To stay with her little 5-year-old Lotte, to be nurse when the little girl Is 111. to enjoy the companionship of the husband and mother for whom she evinces such devotion, is her greatest happiness. A Home Woman. With nimble "fingers she repairs a brok en thread, replaces a wing on her hat, or does, with love in every stitch, a bit of fancywork for her home In Berlin, which photographs show to be spacious and beautiful. When at home. Frau Tauscher, as Gadski is known in private life. likes to cook and do a thousand little things so dear to the heart of the home-loving woman.

Her complexion Is as nearly perfect as can be; she has a wealth of golden hair and an eye which sparkles with wit. One Is tempted to ask how, wKh all the fatigue and late hours, she preserves the secret of such wonderful freshness. She replies: "I take plenty of fresh air. sleep well, eat carefully of substantlals not many sweets or nuts; they are bad for the voice. The days I sing I eat nothing from luncheon time until after the per formance. Then I have my roast beef, tomatoes and mayonnaise, some- cheese and a little imported beer. I take no violent exercise, nor do I expose myself to draughts, although I do not believe in veiling too closely, or bundling In furs." Not the reflected light of a great prima donna does one enjoy In knowing Madam Gadski personally.
