MUSIC ENLIVENS AFFAIRS
Week of Concert and Sonpr Recitals,
Varied by Kindred and Otlier
Social Entertainments.
The week has been given Tto music The
sir has been full of it, vibrant with mel
ody, echoing with song, mingled harmonics
of stringed Instruments, deep organ tones,
bird notes and happy human voices. It Is
the season of the year when Nature gives
expression to her joy In sound and color,
and it is fitting that man should follow
where she leads. And man, socially speak,
lng, in the aggregate and individually,
usually does the right thing. If he has a
fair chance and an unperverted taste.
But it Is not In my province to write a
lecture on moral law. I could not. If 1
tried, and I have no Inclination to try
on a day like this with the warm May
sunshine tempting me to the flowering
heights and a robin, somewhere In a dis
tant treetop, singing his throat out for
very gladness.
First, there was the colonial concert, at
ihe Congregational Church something un
usual, quite out of the ordinary. In fact,
The singers, arrajed in the splendid at
tire of the period. Immediately preceding
the bjrth of our nation, sang selections to
match their clothes. Of the choir and
chorus of thirty, there were but two ex
ceptions In this respect, that Is to say,
but two were gowned In modern fashion.
Rose Bloch-Bauer wore a dress of blue
satin, and Mre. Frank J. Roley was In
yellow organdy, with black lace.
Symphony Concert.
Then there was the fifth concert of the
Symphony Orchestra, Wednesday evening,
et the Marquam, and which was perhaps
the best of the series; at any rate, it af
forded convincing evidence that Portland
lias an orchestra to be proud of. The
bouse, although not crowded, was pleas
antly filled with a select and appreciative
audience. We have been called coldly con
servative, hypercritical and grudging of
applause, as a public I am not going
to deny the charge, but surely the musi
cians, even the most sensitive, had noth
ing to complain of "Wednesday evening.
Several of the members were enthusiasti
cally encored: the dignified conductor, Mr.
Brown, was applauded every time he
turned round and bowed to the balcony
with his eyebrows, and as for Mr. Paul
Wessinger, he might have sung all night.
If he had so minded. Many prominent so
ciety people were present, and It was no
ticeable that a few were brave enough to
occupy a box. here and there. In spite of
the queer lighting.
The sacred song recital at Trinity
Church, Thursday evening, was pro
nounced by everybody present the moat
beautiful concert ever given In the city.
Br. Morrison has done much to stimulate
Interest in sacred music and he was never
In better voice than on that night, when
he sang those inspiring arias from the
Messiah. Mrs. Walter Reed's rich con
tralto came out magnificently, and Mrs.
Bloch-Bauer and Mr. Hogue surprised
themselves. All the social world was there
and came away well pleased and saying
ell manner of complimentary things about
the singers.
At the Cathedral.
On Thursday morning, at the Cathedral,
there was a splendid musical programme
rendered, and the church was packed to
the doors by on audience eager to hear,
and to witness the Imposing ceremonial
that made our own Archbishop Christie
the recipient of high honors, when Mon
algnore Martlnelli bestowed upon him that
mark of Papal favor, the pallium.
Later in the day, there was a banquet
et the Portland, at which the bishops and
visiting clergy of the Catholic Church sat
-down. The tables wre laid in the big
white parlor, transformed for the occa
sion into a veritable rose bower. Not of
ten In "Sunny Italy" had Mgr. Martlnelli
behold such a riot of color, as that which
met his eyes, on entering the banquet hall
Thursday afternoon. Roses! They were
everywhere; their warm hues made a glory
In the place, and the air was rich with
their fragrance. There was also a recep
tion, Friday evening, at the Portland,
that afforded the public an opportunity to
meet the visiting prelate
Tho Netlvo Daughters of Oregon, who
are giving a series of "socials," in order
to be -well supplied with funds with which
to provide for the royal entertainment of

tily mounted photograph, and It was car

SUCCESSFUL COLONIAL CONCERT.
Delightful Mingling of Humor nnd
Music, Sacred and Secular.
A Colonial concert that will long bo
remembered as one of the most delightful
of Its kind ever given in Portland, took
place Tuesday "night, at the First Con
gregational Church. Most of the numbers
on the programme, venerable though they
are In age, have become so unfamiliar
to present-day audiences that they had
all the spice of novelty. Add to this the
delightful spirit of humor that charac
terized the work of the chorus, and it will
be easily understood why the decorous
congregation assembled to do honor to
the singers was more than once surprised
Into laughing applause that refused to be
smothered In spite of the sanctity of the
place. The quaint quavering old tunes,
with their thin harmonies and minor kej s
that our great grandfathers and grand
mothers used to sing, were given by a
chorus of 30 people in gorgeous old flower
sprinkled brocades, gold lace and pow
dered hair. The singers, grouped on the
Letage with many a brilliant gleam of
color, presented as captivating an appear
ance as a bouquet of freshly gathered
roses. They threw such a subtle flavor
of refinement and grace Into their drol
lery, and presented It with such Inimit
able gravity to the audience, that It was
small wonder each number created a rip
ple of meriment. D. Edgar Clark, In
satin knee-breeches, buckled shoes, shim
mering Colonial coat, buttoned with bril
liants, and ruffles of filmy lace, wielded
tho baton, and to his nergy and perse
erlng work much of the success of the
entertainment was due.
Among the many interesting numbers
contributed by the chorus, the one that
created the greatest stir of amusement
was "Cousin Jededlah." This was clev
erly sung and acted out by Miss Jessie
Brown, and the men and women singers:
O Jacob, get the cows home and put them In
the pen.
For the cousins are a-comlng to sea us all
again;
The dowd's In the pan, and the turkey's oa
the flre.
And wo all must get ready for Cousin Jede
dlah. And at this point, one by one. various
members of the chorus broke into the
song with irresistible humor:
There's Rezeklah,
And Azorlah.
And Aunt Sophia,
And Jededlah.
All coming here to tea.
Oh! won't we hae a jolly time.
Oh! woa't wo have a jolly time,
Jerusha, put the kettle on.
We'll all take tea.
There were many verses to this quaint
old song, and each one seemed more funny
than the last
A solo by Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer was
naturally a conspicuous feature of the
evening, eagerly looked forward to, and
when It came, greeted with warm en
thusiasm. Her number was tho much
loved, old ballad. "Within a Mile of Ed
Inboro Town," and she threw Into it all
tho piquancy, witchery and grace that
with her superb voice have established
her as such a prime favorite in the beans
of Portland people. For encore she gave
"Beware," with much airy coquetry. Mrs.
Frank J. Raley's singing of "Old Folkes
at Home." in which sho was ably as
sisted by the choir, was another delight
ful feature of the evening. This number
also earned a recall.
Mr. Ed Hill made the hit of the even
ing by the captivating humor with which
he gave "When George the Third Was
King."
in the garb of a hobbling old i
man witn a cane, ana every now and then
a stitch in the side, ho sang ol the
changes he had noted In three-score years,
ending each veroe with a gay "Tra-la,"
and an effort to dance, that created much
merriment In the audience. The univer
sal verdict among those present was that
Mr. Hill, In this song, showed talent
of a high order as a comedian.
Miss Alta Rankin, In "My Grandma's
Advice," made a distinct impression by
her .pretty grace of gesture, fresh and
pleasant voice and dainty humor. W. A.
Montgomery's rich bass tones are always
a source of great enjoyment to his lis
teners, and on this occasion they were
heard to excellent advantage In the quaint
dlrge-Uke melody, "Captain KIdd's La
ment." Encores and flowers wero gener
ously Interspersed throughout the pro
gramme, and the congrogatlon separated
with "Auld Lang Syne."

A 340,000 COLLECTION.
Most Valuable Paintings Ever Ex
, hiblted In Portland.
It Is seldom that Portland art-lovers
are afforded the opportunity to view works
painted by the greatest masters In the
w orld. It Is hard to realize that a single
piece of canvas, 12x16, may easily repre
sent a value of from 250 to 5500. It is
an Intrinsic valuation, too, In the present
instance, as may easily be discerned by
even the casual observer who may be, per
mitted to Inspect the collection of ol
paintings which Is the subject of this
article. The famous collections of tho
Metropolitan Museum of Art and other
art rooms of the Eas; may surpass the
Portland exhibit of this week In the ex
tent of the Individual exhibits, but noth
ing In the world will surpass In merit the
paintings that nre now being shown to
Portland's people.
The Portland exhibit Is made by Will
iam Morris, one of the best-known art
collectors of the United States. "Mr. Mcr
ris has secured quarters In the sales
rooms of X". A. Whale, the music dealer,
at 123 Sixth street. Immediately opposite
The Orcgonlan building. Among his col
lection are masterpieces of world renown.
One of his most Important paintings on
exhibit is called "A Glimpse of the High
lands," by Wright Barker. Mr. Barker
Is a noted painter of Highland scenery.
The drawing of the Highland cattle with
their shaggy coats In this scene is master
ly bey6nd description. "Evening in Devon
shire," by D. Sherrin, a member of the
Rdyal Institute of Painters, carries with
It the sentiment of the evening hour In a
strikingly Impressive manner. The genre
painting, the "Morning Nws," by Tor
rlne, Is a work of art In which the quaint
humor of the central figure, an old,
weather-beaten fisherman, appeals with
Irresistible force to the beholder. In ma
rine, landscape and pastoral portraiture,
the collection of Mr, Morris la especially
strong. "Raspberries," by Marston Ream,
occupying a corner of the show-window.
Is realistic beyond description. The be
holder knows that these raspberries are
ripe, he knows from appearance that they
are luscious, and he is almost tempted,
after looking at the masterpiece of Mr.
Ream, to order sugar and cream to finish
his dessert from the tempting fru.t be
fore him. Nobody In Portland should miss
the opportunity of seeing the collection
of Mr. Morris, which will be on exhibit
all this week. Mr. Willis B. Fry Is asso
ciated with Mr. Morris In this exhibi
tion. PEOPLE COMING AD GOING.
