VIOLIN CONeE-RT KE0ITAL
Miss Lillian Myers, a well-known Ore
xoniaa, and one ot our most promising
violinists, has returned to Portland after
Six vears nf hard, htendv -work in Ger
many, Belgium and France, where she
was a pupil of the best masters. Her
friends and music-lovers generally -will be
given an. opportunity to hear her Monday
evening, December 7, at the Marquam
Grand, when she will give a concert re
cital, assisted by Edgar E. Coursen, ac
companist Miss Myers Is a graduate of
the Portland High School, and early in
life she determined to make the violin
her life study. Accordingly she went to
Germany, and was a pupil of Joachim
and Holtr, of the Hoch Schule, "WIttek
of the Philharmonic and Remy of the
Paris Conservatoire. , It goes without
saying that associatlon'with such masters
for more than six years has borne re
sults, and the enthusiastic young student
has become an artist of the first class,
as is attested by letters which Miss Myers
bears, and which were written by the
masters under whom she studied. Miss
Myers brings with her from Europe a
rare, old violin, a Guldantus, and she will
play upon this instrument at the forth
coming recltaL It is a rare musical treat
That Is o'ffered. Miss Myers' friends and
the music-loving public generally hope
that the young artist will be greeted by
a large and cultured audience.
IN THE DOMAIN OF MlfSIC.
Vndor Helnrloh Conrled. American singers
are to get a fair share of recognition in
the forthcoming grand opera seat-on at the
New York Metropolitan Grand Opera-House,
as one may understand after reading about
the number of stars he has engaged. Never
before, in the history of grand opera In this
country. hae American artists had as large
a. representation. This Js especially true of
the mezzo-sopranos and contraltos. There
are seven of them, and six are American
women. Edith Walker was born in Long
Island. OIHe Fremstad is a Minneapolis
girl of American and Scandinavian parent
age, Isabellc Bouton is a Brooklyn woman
with a gre'at musical reputation In her na
tive city, and Ioulse Homer and Fanchoa
Thompson are well-known American singers.
Of the six pupils in the new school of opera
which Mr. Conrled has started aa the first
tep toward the formation of a .permanent
conservator, two are American girls. Jo
sephine Jacoby is a popular oratorio singer
in Manhattan, and Marcla Van Dresser is
well known In many American cities through
her successes in light opera. Herr Conrled
makes a conscientious effort to try the voices
of all those who apply to him for a hear
ing During the past six weeks he has
heard 250. and very few out of the ncmber
were given a second audience. He must be
a man of wonderful patience and If he per
severes In this line he may some day dis
cover new Pattls and Xord leas'.
A pleasing musical treat was given at Par
pen's Hall, last Tuesday night, at an operatic
and ballad concert, under the direction of Slg
nor G. Ferrari, to an appreciative 'audience.
It has been a long time since SIgaor Ferrari's
noble basso cantante oIce has been heard In
public in this city, and Its timbre and grand
tone "vtere never better than at this concert.
It Is ono of the pure bass voices In Pacific
Coast cities. SIgnor Ferrari excelled In his
artistic treatment of the- Apolloni number, and
was heard to better advantage still In the bass
part or the Bellini duet. Madame Ferrari was
In fine voice, and she gave evidence of finished,
cultured singing. Mrs. W. Perkins, soprano,
and Miss Ermlnle Hubbard, contralto, added
to their laurels. Senator IV. Doughty has a
good baritone voice. The accompanists were
Miss Robinson and Miss. Tappendorf. The tro
grammc. Piano solo. "Arabeske." (Helmund). Miss
Tappendorf; bass solo, aria from the opera,

IV. Perkins; oontralto solo. "A Lover's Prayer"
iE. O. F). Miss Ermlnle Hubbard, baritone

Senator Mr. Doughty; soprano solo, "The Life

ams Ferrari; duet, baritone and bass, from
the opera, "I Purltanl" (Bellini), SIgnor Fer

Regarding tho present status of musiral
corned, George Ed ward es gives interesting
information in a London interview. If the
rage for this kind of entertainment ls.djlng
out, no indication of the fact has come bis
way, be says. His aim is. and has been,
"prcttj musi; pretty dances, pretty women,
pretty dresses, and plenty of fun." Musical
plajs are the roost risky of all to run. The
expenses are so enormous that unless one plays
nightly to close upon the holding capacity of
tho house, a substantial loss is certain. It is
no unusual thing for him to be losing $1250 a
week on a production that has all the sem
blance of a huge success, and which he cannot
effort to wlthflraw. The" real recompense
:omcs from the English provinces and America.
Regarding the pay of artists. Mr. "Kdwardes
lays that he has had to draw the line at $500
a week. He has much trouble with joung
women, who are promoted from the chorus
and make a success. They promptly demand
an increase of salary and threaten to leave
if it Is not granted. "Such a thing as grati
tude," he sajs, "Is practically rarely. If ever,
jnet with in the theatrical profession." He
does not believe that talent is abundant in
the provinces, where it "wastes" its sweet
ness on the desert air." "What talent Jhere
Is in tho provinces Is rather, he maintains,
ent there from the metropolis, the smaller
towns being regarded as training ground for
tho development of joung 'artists.
The First Baptist Church was well filled laet
Tuesday night, on the occasion of a muslcale
riven by Edward M. Courtlenne (Dworzak)
concert pianist, assisted by Mrs. May Dearborn
Schwab, soprano. Mr. Courtlenne made a fine
Impression by his scholarly work at the piano.
nd he is a decided acquisition to Portland
musical circles. His playing Is finished, clean

never sung better this .Winter, and she ex

Miss Marlon Bauer, sister-in-law of Mrs.
Rose Bloch-Bauer, recently attended an in
teresting muslcale in New York, where all the
numbers were original compositions by Mary
Turner Salter and Sumner Salter. In a letter
to her relatives, in this city. Miss Marlon
Bauer writes, la part: "I attended a recital at

Pattl is making her triumphal tour over the
country, and Iw audiences seem largely to
"- ruled hy lovalty and gallant cpntlmeat.
One New York critic writes: "When Pattl
came out on the stage for her first number
she carried herself with the same alert, girlish
air that we have always associated with her.
Her bearing is that of 16; she has the same
little tricks with her audience; tho same lit
tle taking ways, down to the elastic skip when
she arrives on the scene for an encore a Bklp
that so many prjma donnas have endeavored
to imitate. Do better than that It you can la
your Gist year! And the voice? TheVe is
charm In It still. But the voice that It was?
No. Mme. Pattl herself would scarcely claim
that. In 'The Last Rose" there were some
golden tones, the middle voice has still a mar
velous quality for one of her years, and how
quickly her hearers acknowledged it- They
greeted her with applause that lasted fully
five minutes, an applause so enthusiastic that
it visibly affected her. But vthat applause
was not to be compared to the outburst that
followed "The Last Rose of Summer." When
ft was ended there were bouquets and five re
calls. -
Geraldlne Farrar, of Boston, 'has signed an
engagement for two years at the Grand Opera
in Paris. Her work at the "Royal Opera
House, in Berlin, has been watched with at
tention, and her steadily Increasing success
has confuted the wiseacres who said that so
sudden a leap into fame could nqt hold. This
season she wHLjlng a8 new roles, Massenet's
Manon, Desdemofia In Verdi's "Otello," and
probably Donna Elvira In "Don Giovanni."
She has spent the Summer at work with Mme.
Lehmann, with whom she is a prime fa
vorite, and who, in a personal letter, pro
nounces her In fine condition in every respect.
Miss Farrar's cenlus for hard work Is one
of the strongest claims her friends put forward
when they pronounce her the great prima
donna of tho future. She memorizes at sight,
can both play and sing a song by memory,
after a single silent reading,' and 4 knows her
roles perfectly In an incredibly short time.
In spite of inclement weather a large
audience was present last Wednesday even
ing at the Third Presbyterian Church and
was well repaid by tho excellent program
rendered. It Is always a pleasure to hear
Mrs. E. S. Miller's pure soprano voice,
which showed Us stirring quality in Frances
Allltsen's 'Song of Thanksgiving," and in
the "Angels' Serenade." Mrs. Max M.
Shillock's rich contralto voice thrilled her
hearers with the olamnlty of Schubert's
"Sunset Glow," and the pathos of "Bonnie
Sweet Bessie." Harry C. Gardner, a prom
ising young violinist, showed good execu
tion and tone. Miss Anna Dltchburn, elo
cutionist, gave scenes from "Romeo and
Juliet," and other selections, to tho pleasure
of those present. Mrs. Bergen was admir
able as piano soloist and accompanist.
Jacques Thibaud. the French violinist, re
cently played in Boston, and a critic writes:
"Thibaud belongs to the first rank of living
violinists. He has an elegance of Myle, a
purity of tone, and a masterly style of inter
pretation that make his playing- as fascinating
as It is satisfactory. His execution is mar
velous in its accuracy and rapidity, and his
personality adds a charm to his concert ap
pearance that Is indefinable. The audience
at his first recital was moved by his playing
to the most extravagant demonstrations of
pleasure, and he at once gained the favor of
his Boston audience In a way that assures a
pleasant greeting for him upon his return."
Would you earn the gratitude and good
will of all musicians. In the true sense of the
word? When sou hear any singing or placing,
please do not talk or whisper. Be on your
best behavior, and when the soloist finishes
the selection, join n the. applause. There 1
no music so poor but it has surely some beauty
in It, aid If jou do not believe in applauding
suppose all the audience thought as you
about this? The consequence would be that
the prformer mlsbt walk away In dead silence.
You may be singing or playing In public your
self some day, and might need the Inspiration
that discriminating applause gives.

Street for a while. Though dllfgently
applying himself to distribution, he did
not fall to note that his companions were
of the breezy Far Western type, loud
of speech and rough of manner, yet
withal possessed of a certain indefinable
air of self-respect and respect for others.
The man at his side was loquacious
and sociably Inclined. First, learning
that the newcomer was from the East,
and in addition satisfying his curiosity
on several minor matters, he proceeded to
fill him with information concerning the
office and its personnel. To each mem
ber of the chapel, in addition to his In
herited name, he gave some fanciful
or grotesque appellation not acquired
from his progenitors, together with
a terse and sometimes luminous de
scription of his prominent traits. Of him
self, he modestly put out the information,
with a faint chuckle, that he was known
as "Speechless Jim."
"The Tenderfoot," as he was of course
understood to be for the time, had his
attention called particularly to one of
the more boisterous of the men, desig
nated as "Hot Stuff B111," wno, he was
told, was especially feared because of
his quarrelsome disposition and hasty
shooting proclivities. Bill was a dead,
shot and the population of the town
cemetery had been not a little aug
mented through his agency. "Whatever
you do," cautioned Speechless Jim, "be
keerful how you fall ag'lnst Hot Stuff."
Tenderfoot finally persuaded himself that
his cases were in a condition to permit
him to take a bite, before preparing for
his night's work, and he slipped out for
that purpose. Returning in about haif
an hour he was surprised and puzzled'
to find that his well-filled nonpareil case
had disappeared, and that in its place
was an old dust-laden thing, practically
empty.
Speechless Jim was plodding along, ap
parently oblivious and unconcerned.
Tenderfoot searched hl rack carefully
and then asked Jim if he could account
for the mysterious disappearance.
"Oh, your nonpareil case," said Jim
nonchalantly. "Why, Hot. Stuff took it
away."
"And why did ho'do that?" k
"Well, I dunno, exactly. He jest came
around and looked at it and said It
was a dandy and too good to waste; and
then he took It away and brought that
other one back. That's all I can tell
you, pard."
Tenderfoot was quiet for a few mo
m.ents, apparently thinking hard. -Then,
pale-faced but with tightly compressed
lips, ho strode two alleys away, to where
Hot Stuff was working.
"Did you take my nonpareil case.?" he
asked. ,
"Why, cert, sonny," was the answer,
with an impudent leer; that was all right,
wa'an't it?"
Tenderfoot shook with Indignation.
"What right had you to take it?" he de
manded. ' T."
"Jest liked the looks of i,t, sonny, and
thought you wouldn't mlndl -That one I
left you jest needs a little blowln- out.
You've got an hour yet to throw in, and
If you're good, sonny, and need sorts, I
may help you out some."
Without more words Tenderfoot -went
back to his frame. After pondering a few
moments, he asked Jim, In a quaking
voice. If he had a pistol.
Giving him a calm but warning look.
Speechless Jim produced a heavy-caliber J
cured first prizes, while Miss Donna Rob
erts and James fFarrell won the consola
tion prizes.

foot hurried back to Hot Stuff, who
seemed to have forgotten him entirely
and had unqonpernedly reaunied his work.
Holding the pistol awkwardly, but point
ed toward Hot Stuff, Tenderfoot shouted:
"Now, you miserable cur, if you don't
want t.o be blown to hell in five sqconds,
take that case back to where you stole It
from."
Hot Stuff did not linger.
"All right, sonny," he said; "I reckon
this Is a horso on me." Then he lifted
the case and carried it back to its place,
closely attended by Tenderfoot with lev
eled pistol.
A few moments sufficed to. put. matters

stood at rest awaiting Tenderfoot's next
move.
The dozen other men In the room
grouped near. There was dead silence,
saye for the faintly audible quick brea'th
Ing of Tenderfoot, who now found himself
in a quandary that called for quick action
a decision on which might hang life it
self. The role" that he had been forced to
play was not more to his liking than It
was of his choosing. Heroics were foreign
to his nature, and Ije had never played, the
bully. He felt fear, but would not sur
render to Its .mandate, and over its ex
pression In his face there dominated an
other that spoke determination not to wa
ver even in the face of death In asserting
his manhood and defending his rights?.
While he paused Hot Stuff faced him. with
a steady look of mixed inquiry and dis
dain. Tendqrfoot knew that his safety for the
moment rested upon his having "the drop"

own life probably would be forfeited, for
the Impression he had formed ot Hot Stuff
was that he was governed by no principle
of honor or scruple of conscience. The
handle of his revolver projected over his
right hip within easy reach of his hand.
The moment he ceased to be at a disad
vantage he undoubtedly would be quick
to act, and there would be no question as
to what he would do.
The young man from the East did not
feel equal to the occasion. His position
Nfas new and strange, and found him un
prepared. For the first time In his life he
held a pistol Hi his hand, a fellow creature
at bay. His own life was in Imminent
jeopardy, depending, perhaps, upon his
next step. What should he do2 It was
possible to kill Hot Stuff and plead self
preservation as ah excuse, or he raight
give hint the privilege of drawing his
weapon and make It then and there a duel
to the death. The first alternative was
too much like murder; the second would
be suicide; and he was yet in love with
life, even though It haa some rough
places. He was young, and hope was his
constant friend.
Such was the nature of some of Tender
foot's hurried, confused thoughts. Mean
while no move was made, no wod was
spoken. Every one waited with an ex
pectant attitude as if to say. what next?
Suddenly Tenderfoot seemed to reach a
decision.
"Gentlemen," he said he called them
"gentlemen," not "pards" or "boys,"
which to them would have sounded more
the thing; but the tense situation pre
cluded comment or criticism. "Gentle
men, I am, as you know. o. stranger hero
and new to your ways. I have always
tried to act on the square, and until now
have escaped trouble. You know how It
is; I need not explain. If I had not as
serted myself as I have, I am sure that
all of you would have despised me, and I
would have felt mean to myself. I can go
no further. I am. a roan of peace and seek
no quarrel with any one. On my part
this affair Is ended. Come what may,
there Is but one thing for me to do." Then,
turning to Speechless Jim, he handed him
his revolver with the remark, "Here Is
your weapon; thanks."
Tho crucial moment had arrived. Still
there was no demonstration, no further
break in the deep silence. If Tenderfoot
had hoped that his words wopld earn for
him the sympathy and protection of the
men. thero was no Indication of spch an
effect. It was now up to' Hot Stuff. The
sudden expression of relief In his face
gave way to an almost demoniac scowl
of triumph. He glared as If he would
not too abruptly end the joy of anticipa
tion. Tenderfoot was a statue. Hot
Stuff's right hand moved with slow delib
eration to his back, then suddenly was
outstretched with open palm. A broad
grin spread over his face as he exclaimed:
"Shake, pard,. shake!"
"Shake?" faltered Tenderfoot, whoso
face had blanched to marble at Hot
Stun?3 firsl movement. "Do you say
shake?"
"Sure, my boy, and shake hearty,"
grasping Tenderfoot's hand with both his
own. "You've stood the test we put on
you. and your Initiation is finished. You
are one of us now, and we bid you wel
come. Come, boys, give the new member
of the chapel the glad hand and the wprd
of cheer. The man who's afraid but won't

take water when he know's he's right Is
the bravest sort, and the kind you can
tie to every time, you bet."
Hot Stuff's remarks evoked a cheer, fol
lowed by loud and general laughter, and
then the men filed by Tenderfoot, each
giving him a tight grip of the hand
and words of adulation that brought the
red blood to his lately ashen cheeks.
As he realized that all he had passed
through was the result of prearrangement,
and that the episode seemingly so fraught
with danger had ended In making him
the hero of the hour, he tried to laugh,
but could only emit a few hysterica!
gasps.
"Time!" shouted the chairman. "Num
ber S."
This was a call for Tenderfoot. He went
forward, and as the chairman handed him
a fat. full-length, double-column ad, that
official informed him that the chapel had
just unanimously voted to waive drawing
the ball, and had awarded him the "first
out" as a slight mark of esteem.-Geprga
