KOROICA AND OTHERS
Effort to Brine: Four Great Artists
to Portland Maconda, the
Great Soprano.
The project to briny Nordlca, Charlotte
Maconda, Miss Heyman, the ulnnlste, and
Xatherlne. Flske, contralto, to Portland
should not fall to recolve the hearty sop
port of all -who enjoy art In Its highest
form. It Is a brilliant and daring venture
on the part of a Portland woman thus
to undertake the management of four
such, high-priced stars. It shows an
amount .of enterprise and public spirit that
should not be allowed to iro unrewarded.
The opportunity is Indeed a rare one.
Charlotte Maconda, the first on the list.
Is conceded to be one of the greatest
coloratura sopranos that this country has
recently heard. It is said that since the
kme of Patti one nardly dares to speak
of her In the past tense no one lias Deen
able to give the great cavatina, "Ah! Fors
c Lul" ("Travlata"), with euch brilliancy
and superb dramatic power. The pecul
iarly rich quality of her middle register
has been a source of considerable sur
prise to the critics, -who hardly expect to
find such full and sympathetic middle
tcnes in a coloratura soprano who can
reach high F above the staff with eas'e
ard artistic surety. ThuB ehe Is able to
sing with equal success in oratorio, the
German Lledcr and the most difficult
fiorlture work. She has sung with such
geat organizations as the Handel and
Havdn Society of Boston, the Pittsburg
a-J Philadelphia and Halifax symphony
errhestras. besides appearing repeatedly
in the great festivals, the Cincinnati Saen
gerfest and the Damrosch orchestral
concerts.
A magnetic personality makes her pres
ence on the stage peculiarly winning. The
em or ret.cn b.ood that she inherits
from her mother gives her a vivacious
brilliancy that no doubt has lvid much to
do with her suoce&s. This, is her first visit
to the Pacific Coast.
DEATH OF COL. J. H. MAPLESOX.
The Great Imprearaario Passes Away
in London.
James Henry Mapleson, the well-known
imprcssario, lias been closely identified
with Italian opera in England and Amer
ica, He began his career in London,
was a student at the Royal Academy,
appeared in public as a singer, and for
some time played among the violas or
the orchestra. Later he was assistant
to Mr. E. T. Smith, at Her Majesty's
Theater, and when Mr. Smith announced
In 1S1 his intention of abandoning Italian
opera, Mr. Mapleson took the Lyceum
and commenced his career as a -manager.
He opened there on June 5. 1861, and on
the 13th produced Verdi's "Ballo in Mas
chcra." for the first time in England. His
first season at Her Majesty's was 1862.
when Trebelll made her debut in "Eng
land, the burning of Her Majesty's drove
him to Drury Lane in 1868. He joined
Mr. Gye in 1869; the coalition lasted two
seasons, and in 1871 he returned to Drury
Lane. On April 28, 1877, he reopened Her
Majesty's Theater. Mr. Mapleson, about
0 j ears ago, brought his company to
America in the Intervals of the London
season, and became the head of operatic
affairs at the Academy of Music, New
York, carrying on the management with
fluctuation botweon financial success and
failure. The "star system" made it Im
possible for him to bring out the great
operas on an adequate artistic scale, and
In spite of the skill and experience
of the famous conductor, Ardlti, the
operas were often put on the stage in
Incomplete and unsatisfactory "fashion.
Nevertheless Italian opera under hitn en
joyed an astonishing vogue, and the old
Atademy of Music was for several years
the scene of an operatic liveliness and
social prestige that have gone Into his
tory. He brought to New Tork all the
most famous and high-priced Italian sing
ers of the period. Among the popular fa
vorites of those days were Gerster, who
made her debut in "La Sonnambula" No
vember U, 1878; Minnie Hauk, Campanlnl,
Madame Lablache, Marie Roze, Annie
Louise Cary. Emma Juch appeared for
the first time in "Mignon" in 1SSL About
this time Patti began appearing in con
certs and was soon added to Mapleson's
forces; Scalchi made her debut as Ar
eace in "Semlramide," TVIth Patti as the
Queen. December 20, 1BS2. In the follow
ing Spring AlbanI made her debut in
"Faust." Among the operas produced for
the first time In America by Colonel Ma
p'eson were "Carmen" (1S7S) and Bolto's
masterpiece, "Mephlstofele" (1SS0).
On October 22, 18S3, opera, after 30 years,
forsook the Academy of Music to find a
new home at the Metropolitan, under
Henry E. Abbey, with Maurice -Grau as
sistant. Then ensued one oil the most
noteworthy operatic wars lnwew York
musical history. Against Patti and Ger
ster "were opposed Nllsson and Sembrlch.
The genial and plucky Colonel made a
valiant fight, but he was doomed to de
feat. Before the collapse came In 18S5 he
had Introduced Nordlci to the operatic
world in "Faust," November 6, 18S3, and
November 24, 18S4, Emma Nevada made
her debut in "La Sonnambula."
The season of 1S84-5 is particularly in
teresting to Portland people because It
was at this time Dr. Leopold Damrosch
made his notable attempt to make Ger
man opera popular in New York, bring
ing Anton Schott (who during the past
three years has made his home in this
city) to America from Germany as his
leading tenor. With him was associated
Materna. Dr. Damrosch's efforts were
cut 6hort by his untimely death before
the season was ended.
"Even for a moment It J unkind to
compare the genial Colon- :vUh a hy
dra," once said Irenaeus Stevenson. "Hut
we are sure not all the hot Irons of a
Hercules could keep him out of business.
The fire of bankruptcy only provCs him a
very phoenix; and the last thing we are
disposed to wish is peace to his ashes."
H.s pluck and persuasiveness were Irre
pressible, and he returned to the fight
many times, unwilling to confess himself
vanquished. But from 1SS6 his fortunes
may be compared with those of the
stranded but fresh-hearted lmpressarlo
In "A Ship Ahoy," the plot of which opera
Is based upon the story of his long-continued
misfortunes.
His name will always be closely asso
ciated with the history of Italian opera
In America. In addition to this, he will
be remembered as possessing a moat ur
bane, autocratic, Insuppresslble and buoy
ant personality traits that contributed In
no small degree to making him one of the
most famous lmpressarios of the nine
teenth century.
Church Mnslcale.
A large and appreciative audience as
sembled in Burkhard Hall last Tuesday
evening, the occasion being an entertain
ment given in the Interest of the milldlng
fund of Mlzpah Presbyterian Church, of
which Rev. J. R. McGlade ia pastor. The
platform was decorated "With Oregon grape

evening gowns, making a charming pic

all numbers on the programme. Miss
Schroeder, with a sweet quality of voice,
sang "The Dawn." She was accompanied
by Mrs. Peterson. The Warren Ladles"

voice, saye Neldllmjrers "Serenade" and
"The Message," by Caverly, and for an
encore sang 'Vunna'h's ""LuFUtby" "with
pleasing effect. Mr. W. J. Clem
mens touched a popular chord
in his rendition of "The Wish"
and responded to a hearty encore
with Stults' "Sweetest Stoxyj" jjrs. Max
Shillock, Portland's favorite contralto, ac
companied by Mrs. E. M. Bergen, capti
vated the audience with her "beautiful
voice, and the artistic finish displayed, in
"Bonnie, Sweet Bessie" and "Sunshine
and Rain," and most graciously respond
ed to repeated encores. Benza's "May
Morning" "by Miss HUppel was thoroughly
enjoyed. There is a natural sweetness Bnd
purity of tone in MIs3 Kflppel's voice that
attracts the attention and secures te ad
miration of all who hear her. Miss Vesta
Townsend, the popular reader, gave a se
lection from Richard Harding Davis,
"There "Were Ninety and Nine,"' in . most
charming manner, and for a response,
"When Mammy Says the BlessinV The
Tuscan "Folk Song' rendered "by Miss

The Empress Frcuerlclc
Fortnightly Review.
In Germany they never understood her,
never knew her; and she remained timid
and cautious-looking to the end. Almost
her last public appearance southwest of
the Elbe was at the unveiling of her dead
husband's statue upon the battlefield of
Worth, in the Autumn of 1SS5. She ar
rived at Strasburg the day before the
ceremony. The precautions taken to
guard royal personages In Germany ap
pear much less elaborate than over here.
It may be that the crowd of people who
flocked around the very beautiful Stras
burg station that September afternoon
were most of them members of the secret
police. That fact, as the present writer
will vouch for,, made it no more easy for
the Dowager Empress to reach her car
riage. The crowd was not unmannerly;
it was merely there, and consequently ob
structive. At last her gentlemen had to
carve a lane; and the coachman had to
start the horses very slowly so that
horses and carriage and the shrinking, un
happy Empress might get through the
crowd of onlookers without damage. If
her appearance then can be taken as any
criterion, the publicity must have been
painful to her. It was th; same next day
at the grand unveiling ceremony, when
she had the support of her son and her
daughter-in-law, the reigning Empress,
very serene and smiling beside her. Tho
departure of these two royal ladies after
tho ceremony was over occasioned a
gracious little incident, which at least ono
onlooker will always remember. Ac
cording to etiquette the Empress Victoria
Augusta entered the carriage first; but
