THE SDOTAY OREGONlAtf, PORTLAND, FEBROAKY 28, 1904.
BW YORK, Feb. 22. (Special Cor
respondence.) It Is doubtful If ever
Inside of one week such a collection
of musical events "will occur again, each
one of -which Is great In the superlative
degree. And that people may understand
how New York accepts these different at
tractions it may be as well to say at the
outset that the audiences were enormous
each time. On Friday and Saturday,
February 12 and 33, the Philharmonic So
ciety gave its pair of concerts under di
rection of Felix "Welngartner, and it is
very certain that the apex was reached
upon this occasion. There is no doubt that
Elchard Strauss -will be a sensation, but
that he will be the marvelous musician
and personality that Welngartner is. no
body expects. That "Welngartner was re
garded by the society itself as far out
of the ordinary even far out of the ex
traordinarywas proved by the fact that
ior the first time in the history of the so
ciety, which is over 60 years of age, it
gave an extra concert Tuesday even
ing, that there might be one more op
portunity to hear this great conductor
before his departure from America. In ad
dition to Welngartner's appearance at
this concert the soloist was Alfred Relse
nauer, who played the "Emperor Con
certo" of Beethoven, and a tremendous
performance it was! I have never heard
that work played with such effect by
anyone else. Relsenauer and "Welngartner
ere very intimate friends, and the sym
pathy with which the Concerto was ac
companied was well-nigh inconceivable.
In the greenroom after the concert, when
many of the celebrities of New Sork
thronged back to meet these notables, one
tall and magnificent figure,' more Impos
ing that any, was that of Henry Sen ra
ti I eck, now residing In New York, formerly
director of the Lelpslc Conservatory. Upon
telling Mr. Schradieck of having seen Ed
Ear E. Coursen, of Portland, Or., during
the Summer, he remarked, waving his
hand toward "Welngartner: "Yes, they
were both my boys together!" Another of
this interesting group is George Chad
wick, of Boston. Welngartner went on
board the steamer after the concert, and
sailed the following morning at 6.
Perhaps there Is no more Interesting
Elde of musical life In New York than the
half hour or hour following a great con
cert in the greenroom of Carnegie HalL
The dominant note here is excitement,
and there is thorough good fellowship
and genial cordiality on all sides. A few
of these habitues are women, like Mrs.
Charles H. Dltson, who entertains and
receives all the artists in her home, but
the greater portion are such musicians
as Edward MacDowell, Henry Holdeir
Huss, and artists of that caliber, who
show thorough appreciation of the even
ing's work. Beside these is a good sprink
ling of visiting artists' who are not on tour
at this time. They are often personal
ifriends from Europe, and they are always
exceptionally warm in their protestations
of admiration. It Is not at all unusual to
see one man fall over another's shoulder
and weep. They live in a world of their
own, these artists. If we cannot under
stand it, so much the worse for us. Last
but not least in this strange melange. Is
the mother with her prodigy infant, al
ways making an attempt to set a date
when the lion of the evening may have an
opportunity to bear the child play. It is
always an artistic looking child. If a
girl Its hair is very close cropped; If a
boy its hair is always very long and
wavy: and tho mother Is always so emo-

York.
tional about her child's equipment, that
she forgets that other people are emo
tional over the artist. Then there is the
awful autograph fiend! I will never forget
upon such an occasion In Boston, there
was one woman, the possessor of Rebec
ca Crawford's Musician's Birthday Book,
with musical quotations, and the date,
and the space all ready to receive the au
tographs of celebrities. Well, this woman
was a nice woman, hut she was one of
those unfortunates who had but one pur
pose in life, and that was with her to fill
this book with the autographs of all the
musicians who visited Boston. Now to
accomplish this without being one of the
"charmed Inner circle," would take the
cheek of the proverbial government mule.
Upon this particular occasion, which I
shall never forget, our "Chopinzee"
friend, De Pachmann, was the soloist.
Now if any of our misguided Westerners
have ever aaked this gentleman for an
autograph they may realize what hap
pened. And it must not be forgotten that
De Pachmann speaks remarkably good
English and there is nothing in the lan
guage that he doesn't understand. How
over, for about ten minutes after she
made her request, his part of the con
versation was confined to "Hein?" with
a strong nasal burr on this German word,
"Holn? n? n?" which continued until
she in a final attempt to make him un
derstand what she wanted turned to a
page which carried on its precious face
the priceless treasure expressed by the
letters "I. J. Paderewskl." "See," she
said triumphantly, also intrepidly, "there
is Paderewakl's autograph!" Without de
voting more time than is necessary to
tho simile of the red flag and the bull,
De Pachmann broke into his worst or
his best English with "What! You think
I care If Paderewskl write his name for
you? You go back and tell him write his
name two times once for him, once for
me! De Pachmann won't write!" She
disappeared and neither she nor any one
else knew whether through a door or
through a window, but for the three sue-
Stage Curtain's Strange Tricks
Wilton Lackaye Saved Situation by Record-Breaking; Hug-.
New York Mall and Express.
IF there were aught credible In the
diverting, ancient theory that the
souls of men in metempsychosis may
come to dwell not only in strange birds
and quadrupeds, but In sticks and stones
and other things inanimate, then might
one weave a fantastic yarn to account for
the strange doings of theater curtains in
this town. But it would be a theme for
the Imaginative trlckorles of an Edgar
Allan Poo; a companion piece to "The
Oval Portrait" and "The Imp of the
Perverse."
There have been actors whoso dignity
would by no means be above such fooling
as to hide tho souls of them in the folds
of a curtain, and have one more turn at
tickling an audience. From Lamb's gen
tle descriptions of their mirth-making
mightinesses one might readily picture
Bensley and Dodd and Dicky Suott and
Jack Palmer and Bannister consenting
happily to a tapestried incarnation for
tho fun of it. And, indeed, some of the
tricks played by curtains at theaters re
centlynot the tragical asbestos, but the
merely comical drops were quite worthy
of these groat personages of tho stage.
A Lingering Embrace.
It was only a few nights ago that the
curtain at the Lyric, clothed with a lit
tle brief authority, filled the gallery with
derision and the stage with woe. The
pesky thing was supposed to come down
slowly upon the comforting picture or
Curtis Jadwin, the ruined speculator,
and his wife, who had almost been
tempted away from him, now at last sol
emn but happy In the midst of financial
ruin.
But when a little more than half way
down the curtain stuck. Various stage
hands pawed and pulled at It. but still
It stuck. Wilton Lackaye. playing the
part of Jadwin, clasped Miss Oaker In
his arms, turned his back toward the
audience and waited. The curtain would
jiot be bulged till its utmost perversity
was satisfied, and .for fully a minute,
which is a mighty long time in certain
circumstances. Mr. Lackaye hugged the
lady, thereby breaking all the known rec
ords except Olga Nethersole's. When
the curtain at length let go and shut in
the happy sight, tho stage manager want
ed to kick a hole in It, but was prevented
by the smiling Mr. Lackaye.
That red curtain at the Criterion had
almost a clean history till tho afternoon
the prize play, "The Triumph of Love."
was produced. With an intelligence that
was at least feline, if not hnman, it be
gan to cut capers before the perform
ance was half finished. At the end of
the second act it stuck some three feet
rom tho stage and hold there for half
a minute, while the whole company
stood and waited and the audience com
mented upon the diversity k feet dis
played. In the intermission the curtain
was evidently tinkered with and reproved,
and thereupon, at the earliest opportunity
It vented its wicked spite. The next time
the man at the ropes attempted to lower
It the curtain, instead of coming down,
shot upward, revealing a fine view of the
flies; and when it did yield to tugs and
entreaties. It descended with a rush as
If it were going through the floor.
As if Miss Amelia Bingham had not
enough troubles when she presented
"Olympe" at tho Knickerbocker Theater,
the curtain at that well-ordered bouse
one evening contributed a contretemps to
the general farce. In the most strenuous
moment of the scene, where Olympe was
with bare arms barring the door of her
apartments while the young priest escaped
from the soldiers, the curtain made the
business its own, and. without warning or
hint, came down. Just what happened
then has not been related. At any rate,
the curtain was dragged up and the scene
finished; but the finishing touch of the
ridiculous "had been given to the already
much-strained situation. Perversity had
done its worst.
The curtain at the Bijou Is notoriously
mischievous a very expert in diabolism.
It is one of those that separate in the
middle. Its two halves to be drawn to the
sides of the prosecinum arch and held
there by cords. Sometimes It agrees to
this programme, but most times It does
not All through the unhappy experiences
of William Collier at this theater, last
Fall, the curtain acted like a fiend. The
cords that should have drawn it grace
fully back in two folds seldom worked
properly, and stage hands were called into
service to do the hauling. Nearly every
time the curtain was drawn the audience
got sight of men In overalls scampering
across the stage with the edge of the
drapery in their hands; and more than
once some "grip" who was not quick
onougb found himself on the wrong side
of the curtain, and In full view of the
laughing crowd. That curtain must have
harbored the jolly soul of some prince of
clowns or most lncorrlcible of low come
dians. It Is not always tho curtain itself that
is to be blamed for freaks like these.
Sometimes the curtain man grows careless
at his 'station away up in the files, and
often the stage manager or his assistant
who presses the button, giving the curtain
man the signals for raising and lowering
the drop, chances to be too fast or too
slow.
Many persons who have sat in the front
rows at the theater will have seen a shak
ing of the edge of the curtain when re
calls were being given after an effective
act The impression created by that
shaking is that the curtain is about to be
drawn aside to permit the star or others
to come before the footlights to bow or
speak. Therein lios the trick; for, know
ing how easily audiences are led, the
stage managor has a man stationed there
to agitate the curtain at the psycholog
ical moment Many a call has been
brought about by a little Inducement of
that sort Bad in Its behavior as the
curtain may be, it must be absolved
from such artifice as that and the re
sponsibility placed where it inhabits.

It may be Interesting to state that De
Pachmann is engaged for a tour of
America to open In October. He will go
as far as the Pacific Coast, Including
Portland, I am told.
But I have digressed from New Tork
and its music, and It will not stand di
gression before i nave told of the re
markable piano recital given by Busoni
at Carnegie Hall. A wonderful artist this
man is! And the situation lk so doubly
difficult for those who are asked the
question a hundred times a day, "Which
do you prefer. Busoni or Relsenauer "
They never seem to realize that there Js
only one possible answer, and it is that
Busoni is colossal, and Relsenauer is tre
mendous, and the critics may well sing,
"How happy could I be with either, were
t'other dear charmer awayj' for they
are both the highest types of the most
finished art Now what Is. a mere critic
to do in the face of this?" Busoni Is a
most wonderful colorlst so Is Relsenau
er a llttlo different way of getting at it
Busoni has most crashing climaxes.
Relsenauer may, perhaps, bring different
effects In a cilmax. Busoni impresses one
as a poet of the very highest Intellectual
equipment Relsenauer Jnfpresses one
as very material, but just the same his
poesy and dellcaey sweep you off your
feet Busonl's technic Is finished in the
superlative degree. Rcisenauer's not any
less so. and the foregoing statement Is
the only decision possible to any fair
minded critic so if it Is possible to make
a choice, you must do so from this.
Speaking, of pianists, it is interesting to
state that Flix Welngartner is a pianist
of immense ability and remarkable equip
ment Th'swas shown on Monday after
noon when a programme was given at
Carnegie Hall, with the assistance of
Jacques Thlbaud, who has since sailed
for Europe; Paul Kefer, cellist: Susan
Metcalf and David Blspham. These two
singers presented songs by Welngartner.
with the composer at the piano. These
were delightful and of the same caliber
as the Richard Strauss songs, and those
which David Blspham sung were among
the most artistic bits ever presented to
a New York public. Not alone the songs
were beautiful, but BIsnham's art is
fairly Incomparable. Welngartner also
played the piano part of a Beethoven
trio, and whereas his personality dom
inated, if was fairly well balanced, mu
sically speaking. One of tho audience
upon this occasion was Mr. Gerlckte,
conductor of the Boston Symphony Or
chestra, whose proximity to .New Tork
for the evening's concert of that great
organization made it possible for him
self and Mrs. Gferlcke to be present
A fitting finale for such a week was
the pair of concerts of the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, always foremost
among the greatest organizations of
the world. Mr. Gerlcke forestalled
Richard Strauss very cleverly, by giv
ing for the first time in this country
that composer's tone poem, "Don Quix
ote," and, as one brilliant man ex
pressed himself the morning after the
performance, "I knew that Don Quix
ote was - crazy, but I didn't know he
was that bad!' And it is certain that
while tho work-sis most difficult and
most remarkable, it is the next thing
to undignified, and while listening to
It I found myself wondering several
times whether Strauss was making a
fool of himself or of his hearers.
To anticipate the arrival of this man
in America, be It understood that Rich
ard Strauss is a young man and the
greatdst realist that has ever attempt
ed to write himself down In music. We
might have thought that the limit of
realism and disgusting realism4 was
reached in his marvelous tonc-poem of
"Death and Transfiguration," when
there was no possibility of mistaking
his intention of reproducing the death
rattle In music, but when he goes out
side of the pale of musical Instruments
to produce effects it is are In a very
questionable form. And It does not
se'em necessary, for he could, have rep
resented the sound of a whirlwind
without resorting to a machine made
purposely to create a whizzing sound
of the wind. In addition to this, when
the orchestra suddenly became a band
of bleating sheep by muting the wood
winds and the brasses, it gave tho
thoughtful ones something to think
about besides music. Stauss is a great
philosopher, a deep thinker, and he
can turn the orchestra with a most
magical hand, but why need he de
scend to the theatrical? Just because
he Is a realist of the most pronounced
type.
Again Edward MacDowell , brought
himself before the public with a wild
and dizzy whoop, and whereas he is
subjected to much criticism, there are
several other American composers who
would have done exactly the same
thing. Perhaps the reader of these ar
ticles in The Oregonlan will recall one
of the series that appeared during the
Summer, which told the story that both
Henry Holden Huss and Edward -A
MacDowell absolutely refused to ap
pear upon the programmes that were
set aside under the damning label,
"American Composers Only," as both of
these worthy gentlemen and musicians
take the stand that if they are not
good enough to be classed as compos-

ers, they do not wish to bo considered
at all, as they object to being treated
as "American" curiosities in the way
of music That Edward MacDowell
meant what he said was proved last
Sunday night, when Mottl planned to
present a programme of American com
position to be given by the artists and
orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera
House. Mr. MacDowell wrote a very
polite but firm letter, asking- that if
there was any number of his upon that
programme it be - removed, as his ob
jections were very positive against ap
pearing as an "American" composer. He
stated that he would always be hon
ored at appearing on any programme
under Mr. Mottl's direction, but not on
anybody's exclusively American pro
gramme "When the programme ap
peared the wisdom of Mr. MacDowell
was manifest, as it was anything but
representative of the great American
composers of the day. The worst of it
is that Mr. Mottl will go back to Eu
rope and feel that he understands all
about what the American is really
capable of in the way of composition.
I am In receipt of a long letter from
Miss Caroline Lowengart, In which she
gives me a very good description of
what every student goes through who
studies abroad. She has visited many
of the teachers, and feels that the only
thing that is cheaper in Berlin than in
New York is car fare, which is 2
cents. In one clause she says: "About
ten pianos are going all day long. Tou
can well imagine hn-jv it sounds. The
girls can practice to their hearts' con
tent, and no one will disturb them
even up to 10 o'clock at night. Could
they do this in New York? - I guess
not." She says the weather Is like that
of Portland, and also that the German
language is becoming remarkably fa
miliar, even in this short time.

British View of Roosevelt.
Sydney Brooks.
No President, or at any rate no Pres
ident of recent years, has made so per
sistent an appeal to tho better side of
the National temperament; and the
spectacle of his virile decisiveness, his
absolute contempt for the featureless
and fantastic caution of the ordinary
politician and the real loftiness that
prompts every word and every deed
have swayed the hearts and 'minds of
men. There is something in Theodore
Roosevelt and there Is something in the
American people which meet and Join
hands on a high plane, not of citizen
ship only, but of character and human
nature; and so long as that can be said
of a man he may with impunity dis
regard "political" plottlngs and the
abuse and opposition of this or that
"interest."
There are moments in the history of
even such a politician-ridden country
as America when the people take
things into their own hands, and I do
not believe that the wealth of all the
trusts and the intrigues of all the "ma
chines" could now prevent Mr. Roose
velt's nomination.
The secret of the art of writing Is to have
somewhat to say, and to say Just that and,
no other. Richard Grant White.
