From harmony, from heavenly harmony.
This universal -frame began;
"When nature underneath a heap of Jarring
atoms lay.
And could not heave her head.
The tuneful voice was heard from high,
"Arise, ye more than dead."
Then cold and hot and moist and dry.
In order to their stations leap.
And muslc'a.power obey.
From harmony, from heavenly harmony.
This universal fraro bean;
From harmony to harmony
Through all the compass of the notes It ran,
The diapason closing- full In man.
Dryden.
GADSKI, AS BRUNHILDE
JJlspIiam's Art Talking "With Piano
Accompaniment Xevr Boy Soprano
Matfcagnl's Conservatory.
The musical atmosphere of Portland has
been surcharged with electrlclty-ra certain
fine frenzy of "Wagnerian enthusiasm
ever since thfr Damrosch concert. .After
all, was It not a wee bit unkind of Mr.
Damrosch to arouse In us such, an insa
tiate desire to see the "Ring of the Nlbel
ungens," with all Its splendid stage trap
pings, sweep of orchestral passion -and
splurge of tone-color? For we cannot all
emigrate in a body to the Metropolitan
Opera-House, C000 miles away, nor can we
rationally expect the New York opera
season to come to us.
Brunhilde's wild battle-cry that daring
challenge to the skies has somehow
wrought a change in us. We see with
new eyes the primordial freshness and
force that "Wagner has Infused Into a tired
and jaded world. The grand and lusty
vigor of these old Norse gods who were
most at home amid thunder-crash and
lightning blast and rushing storm-winds;
the breath of mighty passions that cracked
in twain the hearts of those doughty saga
heroes, bring us back again to the prime
val lorcea in nature, appealing to what
Is elemental in us all.
Gadski seems peculiarly well fitted to In
terpret Brunhilde's mooes of passionate
exaltation In "Die "Walkure." There is a
purity, a nobility, a mingling of impetu
ous vehemence with dignity about her ut
terance that is In accord with the un
tamed and warlike spirit of the Valkyr.
"With all her commanding power she has
that admirable self-restraint that marks
the artist. But when we look for the
warm flood of pity or melting human ten
derness that properly belong to her in the
earth-fallen Brunhllde of "Siegfried," we
are not wholly satisfied. The godlike pur
ity of the Valkyr still clings to her; she
loses in force but does not gain corre
spondingly In sympathy and warmth. Sen
suousness is foreign to her. She Is not
so richly endowed with "temperament" as
LI1U Lehmann or Materna.
"We must esteem ourselves peculi
arly fortunate in being granted
this opportunity to bear both Gadski
and Bispham In the freshness of their
powers. .Gadski is still under 30, and
doubtless has not yet bloomed into full
maturity. Bispham Is In his prime, with
a well-ripened nature that sees deep down
Into the underlying poetry of "Wagner's
creations, and Interprets it with reverence,
refinement of sympathy, and convincing
sincerity. He differentiates psychological
subletlcfi more closely, and Is more nearly
the mystic than Gadski.
It is a difficult art that of talking to
the accompaniment of the piano. Not
many have the courage to attempt It. But
"Walter Damrosch accomplished the feat
with astonishing success, modulating his
voice so as to hit with easy unconcern
generally, but not always some prominent
nte In the harmonies. In order not to of
fend the ear of the sensitive or fastidious.
He Is excessively popular in New Tork,
where his lecture-concerts have been re
ceived with warm, approval by "Wagner
worshipers.
Of the singing of Master Earl Gulick,
the New Tork boy soprano now appear
lng at the Tissot painting exhibit in Bos
ton. Philip Hale wrote recently in th
Boston Journal:
"Master Gulick has a voice of unusual
beauty, and he Is not self-conscious, nor
is he affected or priggish. He seems to
be a modest, manly little fellow, who to
Indisputably musical; for, although, of
course, he has much to learn in technlc,
he sings with Innate musical feeling, and
there Is not the slightest suggestion of
parrot-like memory or carefully taught
and simulated emotion. The boy evident
ly feels his music, and never so keenly at
when he sings with artless freedom. I may
also add that it is a pleasure to see hirn
sing, and many professionals might envy
him his facial repose when he attacks a
high note."
Hungary has lost one of Its most promi
nent composers. Dr. Ivan Grelzlnger,
whose name, however, is not so well
known elsewhere as the number of hla
works might lead one to suspect. Thero
are no fewer than 100 songs, 1G5 tran
scriptions for violin, two masses, three
quartets and a great deal of dance mu
sic similar In character to that of De
llbes. The Conservatorlo. at Pesaro, Italy,
over which Mascagnl presides, has about
200 pupils and 23 instructors. Pupils are
obliged to remain nine years, or about
nine times as long as American girls
think it necessary to become prima don
nas at ?1000 a night.
COMIC OPERA FOR PORTIiAATJ.
Arrangement Making: to Give Con.
tlnnood Season Here.
It is easily within the recollection of
the great majority of citizens, when Port
land boasted its own opera company.
The "Casino." now Cordray's Theater, was
built for this express purpose, and the
success which attended It was marked,
although Portland had, at the time, a
white population not to exceed 30,000, and
there were no bridges, and but an In
significant car service. TRe Jeannle "Wins
ton Company played steadily to the capac
ity of the house for a full six months,
several of the operas presented "Prince
Methusalem," "Donna Juanlta," "The
Princess of Trebezonde" and "The Queen's
Lace Handkerchief" running for two and
three weeks each. Louise Lester and her
company followed immediately, and an
other six months' successful season re- i
suited. The management then unwisely
turned the theater into a stock dramatic
house, and from the first It was a failure.
Again tke Attraction.
Alter a short time a change of manage
ment took place and comic opera was
again the attraction. The Thompson Op
era Company, for 14 weeks, held the
boards to business as large as that of the
"Winston Company, and It, In turn, was
succeeded by the Pike Opera Company,
which was also very successful. It is true
that these were all first-class companies.
but their success, over a period of IS
months, demonstrated, beyond a doubt
that Portland Is, in theatrical parlance,
a comic-opera town, and will support its
own company.
A little over a year ago, a syndicate
was formed, for the purpose of organizing
a first-class comic opera company, for a
permanent and continuous season, in Port
land, and negotiations were almost com
pleted for the theater In which it was to
appear. But they fell through, and for
the time being the proposed organization
was deferred. Never, however, has the
faith of the stockholders and promoters
of the enterprise been shaken, and now,
when Portland is in better condition than
ever to support comic opera, It has been
decided to proceed.
Kinross Gone East.
Mr. "W. H. Kinross, who was the first
and only conductor for the foregoing
mentioned successful operatic ventures,
will again resume a position for which
he is, perhaps, better fitted than any one
upon the Coast, and has left for Chicago
and New York to engage principals and
chorus for a comic opera company.
"Whether the company will play en route
to the coast or come direct has not been
decided, but Mr. Kinross declares that
in either case, the Portland public can
safely count upon a first-class company,
new operas and an organization superior to
its predecessors.
TWO MUSICAL CELEBRITIES.
Hnmbonrg Is Still Climbing Petsch
nlkoff Shuns the Superficial.
"No one hearing Hambourg's simple, no
ble, pure reading of Schumann's 'Des
Abends' can deny that his great talents
have a sound. Innate musical foundation,"
says Robert L Carter in the Cincinnati
Times-Star. "His Beethoven I prefer In
finitely to the rhapsodical version of the
same sonata given the other day by Pad
erewski. Hambourg's firm, unerring sense
of rhythm was clearly brought out in his
Bach-D Albert fugue. His Chopin is he
roic. Of all the recognized pianists of
the first rank Hambourg Is perhaps the
only one who has climbed great heights,
and 1s still climbing. The others are eith
er retrograding or holding their own."
Petschnikoff, the Russian violinist, la
traveling with Hambourg. It has been
said of him that he plays with an enor
mous technlc and a singular breadth
of tone. His control of the bow is sim
ply marvelous. He is a player who shuns
the petty graces and sentimentalities
which fascinate superflclaKy, but have
no lasting effect. He Is an artist of solid
attainments, fully equipped technically,
and without the least tendency toward
the morbid In expression.
It is possible that both these artists
may come to Portland In the near future.
Ballad nnd Opera.
There is to visit this city next Saturday,
March 31, a concert organization of un
usual attractiveness and merit the Louise
Brehany Ballad and Opera Company,
headed by the favorite artist, Louise M.
Brehany. Miss Brehany has become fa
mous as a ballad singer the country over,
and has appeared heretofore as soloist
with some of the great organizations of
the country. Including Sousa's Band, the
Marine Band, Edouard Remenyl Company,
Bernard Llstemann Company, etc
This her second season at the head of
her own company, she has surrounded her
self with great artists, including W. Guil
laume Sauvlet, the noted Belgium pianist
and conductor; Miss Olga Schmoll, a
young violinist, whose work has attracted
unusual attention in her recent appear
ances In the East and in Chicago; Jessie
B. Monroe, a favorite nlto; Forrest D.
Carr, basso cantante, of whom Edouard
Retzke writes: "I have found in him a
magnificent voice, and he has a great fu
ture before him," and LouIb J. Mintz, a
young tenor, recently returned from ex
tended study abroad; critics give him
great praise.
These artists appear In a programme,
concluding it with an act of the grand
opera, "Martha," In costume. Such a con
cert by such artists Is a rare treat any
where, and should be greeted by a big au
dience here. Miss Brehany has become
famous as a ballad singer, and has taken
the place In the esteem of the public so
long held by the late Emma Abbott. It is
understood that the management of the Y.
M. C. A brings this company to the city
from California, where they have been
singing to large houses. The purpose of
the association Is not to confine the at
tendance to members, but also to give
the public an opportunity of hearing fnese
artists.
Gleanings From the Wings.
"The League of Press Agents" Is tho
latest in New York.
"Naughty Anthony" Is not so bad as
some people think he is.
Tim Murphy in "The Carpetbagger" has
made a hit In New York. An Important
member of the cast Is Murphy's bulldog
Bulger. He never misses his cue ana
never keeps the stage waiting.
Although "Way Down East," in which
Phoebe Davies (Mrs. Joseph Grlsmer) has
been Bcorlng a big success, Is nearing the
end of the fifth month of its present run
at the Academy of Music, New York, the
receipts, it is said, have never yet fallen
below $10,000 for a week.
Frank Daniels recently closed his Bos
ton engagement. Tho receipts for the
three weeks production there of his new
comic opera hit, "The Ameer," are saia
to have exceeded' the receipts of his last
two Boston engagements combined.
Mr. James Nelll, of the Nelll company,
which has been playing to big business
"at Los Angeles, Cal., has 'been presented
with an Interesting historical relic, in
the shape of a chair that came over In
the Mayflower. It was given to him by a
Mrs. Largey, a wealthy woman of Butte,
Mont., and has been in her family for
many years.
L11I1 Lehmana'i Peculiarities.
A member of one of the companies in
which Mme. LI111 Lehmann traveled last
year says that the singer's sentimentality
for anlmalB often caused the stage hands
much annoyance.. She is an ardent vege
tarian and will partake of no animal food.
She does not believe in stimulants, and at
dinner always turns down her glass. It la
customary for refreshments of some sort
to be passed around behind the scenes be
fore and after an operatic performance.
One evening an old stage hand asked
Mme. Lehmann If she would have some
wine.
"Mme. Pattl sang 'Lucia on roast chick
en and thiB wine," he said.
"Indeed!" replied Mme. Lehmann; "well.

OPERATIC FRIENDSHIPS
HOW THE STARS SPEXD THEIR TIME
"WHEN OFF DUTY.
Sembrich and PolIsTa Cookery Xor
dica's Irons' StragrKle The French.
SIneer Other Favorites.
The foreign celebrities who wander from
their own firesides to sing in this country
may be iar from the old folks at home, but
they receive, nevertheless, certain care
and attention that must compensate in a
way for their exile, says the New York
Sun. Steam heat and Ice water in hotels
may be trying enough, and sudden varia
tions In the climate may be objectionable
In their disagreeable effects on the op
eratic visitors, but there are other less dis
pleasing features of life In America. Near
ly every man or woman of Importance who
sings at the Metropolitan Opera-House la
surrounded by a group of admirers, who
from a more or lesa respectful distance do
all that is possible to make life pleasant
for the particular object of their affec
tion. As- soon as Mme. Sembrlch came to this
country two years ago with the opera com
pany she was selected by the Poles as the
particular object of their attention. Let
ters addressed in strange handwriting and
covered with Inscrutable scrawls out of
which only the name "Semorich" was to be
read arrived In numbers at the Metropoli
tan Opera-House. During the Christmas
holidays, when these came in numbers with
every mail, they were heavier than usual,
although few persons knew the cause of
the change. They were filled with wafers
made of flour and water and stamped with
pictures of the nativity or other religious
emblems, which. In accordance with tho
Polish fashion, are distributed In the
churches at Christmas time and cent to
one another by devout friends. Theso
came not only from New York, but also
from the Northwest and from the Far
South, where Mme. Sembrich had not yet
sung. From her local admirers camo
more astonishing tributes; cakes of weird
make, consisting of "brown flour, raisins
and icing, were sent to her at the opera-
house, and other strange specimens of,
Polish cookery came to indicate the good
wishes of her compatriots in this country.
Mme. Sembrich is known to care very lit
tle for society, although she has figured
this year at some of the most exclusive
entertainments of the Winter, which were
arranged In her honor and were not, there
fore, to be declined.
Eamea' Friends.
Mme. Emma Eamesj hs been ever since
her arrival here seven or eight years ago
the particular charge of a little coterie of
enthusiastic friends who determined that
they would do everything possible for her
success. As these are influential women of
wealth, refinement and position, they are
ablo to accomplish a great deal. If "Emma,"
as they call her, Is HI for half an hour,
they are all thrown into a little fluttel
that subsides only when she Is quite well
again. When Mme. Eames sings a new
role at the Metropolitan this little army
rallies to her support and gathers about
the stage door after the .performance to
tell her how perfectly lovely everything
has been. As nearly every woman who
goes to the Metropolitan would like to be
Included In the list of personal friends of
the beautiful American singer, this little
group is naturally regarded with great en
vy, and It Is Indeed difficult to decide which
of the two parties to this union Is the more
to be congratulated! Mme. Eames is for
tunate In the possession of friends who can
show such devotion to her, and they are,
of course, quite as happy In the privilege
of knowing the lovely American. Mme.
Eames, as soon as she married Julian Sto
ry, took a place In American society which
made her a welcome guest everywhere.
buf. she Is not fond of society, and Is usual
ly to be found only in the company of
Intimate friends.
Mme. Nordica Is an object of extreme in
terest as well to many or her compatriots.
It is to her career that New England
women studying music look with hope. For
many years Mme. Nordica struggled along
with the rank and file of her profession,
and distinction came to her only late.
When she sang Isolde here first she took
her place for the first time among the con
spicuous stars of tho company, and ever
since that time her name has been a
guiding star to half the women studying
music In this country and all probably who
aro studying It In New England. They
may have passed the age at which tho
first operatic triumphs are likely to be
won, but the example of Mme. Nordica
always Inspires them. They think that by
working for some years such a triumph
as hers may ultimately be their reward,
although they overlook the fact that she
never could havo won her pleasant place
unless voice and dramatic temperament
had been natural gifts with her. No
amount of work Is going to take the place
of these qualities, and every year Mme.
Nordlca's long preparation made triumph
easier for her when tho time came. But,
of course, nono of the students of singing
think of that; all bellevo anything Is to
be accomplished by industry, so the dis
tinguished American soprano is constantly
sought out by women studying in the New
England conservatories, beginning their
operatic careers with some of the English
companies, or Just returned from abroad
with their voices either spoiled or improved
by study and an intense desire to get
ahead. All these women seek out Mme.
Nordica, and many of them are able to
tell stories of her amiability and kindness
in receiving them. It Is, of course, not
to be thought of that she could begin to
talk to half who come, but Bome fortunate
ones have been admitted. Naturally they
show their gratitude by sending her con
stant tributes In the shape of letters, cards
and other things within their means.
Calve's Accessibility.
Planoon has long been the particular pet
of a certain section of the French colony
in New York, who are delighted to have
him at their houses along with MM. Saleza,
Alvarez and some of the other Frenchmen
In the opera company. Mile. Calve Is also
sought out especially by tho French ele
ment in New York, and her accessibility
to them is remarkable. Few singers are
so easy to get at as Mile. Calve, and if one
speaks French It Ib a simple matter to
spend as much time in her society as one's
business requires. But a knowledge of
tho language is necessary. For the first
time Mile. Calve has this year come to
the United States without a companion,
and she refuses to allow herself to be
bored by people who cannot "speak her
language sufficiently well to make them
selves understood. Her constant associates
in the opera company are M. and Mme.
Salignac, and it was with them that she
took the lltle trip to Atlantic City last
week which cost her already several ap
pearances. When Mile. Calve came to
New York this Fall she decided that none
of its hotels was to her taste, and wanted
an apartment. She found th6 apartment,
but unluckily it had no furniture In it.
The proprietor regretted very much that
he was unable to furnish it for her. That
was distinctly against his rules, and he
could not make an exception even for her
sake. But Mile. Calve wanted the apart
ment, so she bought the furniture herself
and intends to ship It all back to Paris In
the Autumn. She prefers to devote her
self to her art rather than to society.
Another thing that Interferes with her en
joyment is the comparative Ignorance of
French which prevails In New York, for
It Is unfortunately true tha't a very limited
number of the persons she would be likely
to meet are able to speak French with flu
ency. Shehasherown particular little court
of admirers in several New York women
who have known her since her first season
here, and have become endeared to her
I largely through the experiences they have
