THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 21, 1904.
FAMOUS TENOR VISITS PORTLAND
William Castlcraa.il, an American, "Wins High Place in Favof of Critical European Audiences.
IS these days of foreign tenors with un
pronouncable names and long pedi
gree artists who come to America
from Europe Intent aftftr dollars, it Is re
freshing to meet with a real American
tenor in the person of "William Castle
man, born in Kentucky, as good a tenor
as any of them, and -with very ow rivals
in the realms of grand opera the -world
over. Mr. Castleman and his wife are at
present the guests of State Senator and
Mrs. Herbert Holman, 7S7 Overton street
Great tenors are rare, and it Is note
worthy that not so very long ago Mr.
Castleman divided Honors with the fa
mous Jean de Reszke, In singing in Weg
nerian opera at Paris, in rival opera
houses situated only a short distance from
each other. On that occasion, Mr. Cas
tleman was especially engaged by Frau
Wagner to sing the music allotted to
Selgfrled in "Gotterdamerung." and dur
ing each performance his interpretation
of the character he sustained and his ar
tistic singing of the role met with every
mark of enthusiastic approval from crit
ical audiences. Mr. and Mrs. Castleman
leave this city September 3 for the East,
and after a visit to their relatives in Ken
tucky, they propose to sail early in Oc
tober for Europe. Mr. Castleman's fu
ture musical plans are only known to him
self, but It is understood that they call
him to St Petersburg this coming season,
and that two years hence he will sing In
opera at Cairo, Egypt.
The traditional grand opera tenor,' and
especially the Wagnerian tenor, from a
popular point of view. Is a person who
has drooping eyes, a mop-like mass of
hair a la Sauer, a pale, mournful coun
tenance from the fact of unsuccessfully
loving so many unhappy Wagnerian hero
ines, and who is never seen off the stage
unless he wear an overcoat trimmed with
iur. How different is Mr. Castleman from
all this, although Ms repertoire consists of
37 Grand operas in French, 11 in Italian,
six in German.
"This is my vacation time," ho ex
plained, as he sat yesterday In the most
comfortable shade on the veranda of
Mrs. Holman's charming home. "I re
joice that I possess many friends In this
pleasant Paclfio Coast country, and have
had a perfect holiday time here."
"It Is said that in 'Tristan and Isolde'
you"
"That brings me back to business,"
broke in Mr. Catleman, who, by the way,
is a young, good-looking man, with fine
physique, and who wore a gray business
suit and straw sailor hat. "'At this pres
ent moment, however, casting all thoughts
of grand opera aside, would it surprise
you to know that I am a baseball crank,
and that for three years of my life I was,
one of the sporting reporters of the Louls
ville (Ky.) Commercial newspaper? I
was a fellow reporter with Henry Pull
Ian, who Is now president of the Nation
al Baseball League. Had iany aspira
tions toward baseball? Only as a 'rooter.'
Music and other lines of work claimed me
arly. Mo church choir singing or con
certs did not know me In those early days.
When I was about 20 years old I went on
the professional stage, by making my de
but singing with the Spencer Opera Com
pany, at Cleveland. O.. In Gilbert & Sulli
van's 'Mikado, and then sang a season
of light opera with the Duff Opera Com
pany. I did not have the benefit of any
vocal lessons then.
"Joining the Bostonlans I became their
leading tenor, and sang In 'Prince Ana
nias,' 'Maid of Plymouth,' 'Robin Hood,'
ad other attractions, and I sang for
them for two seasons. Early in 1896,
Jean de Reszke hoard me sing and by his
advice I wont to Paris, where I studied
with Sbrlglia, from whom I obtained
the most valuable advice which has as
sisted me in my work. I also had the
benefit of other teachers. It was during
the early part of the Boer war that I
made my debut as a grand opera tenor
at the Royal Opera House, The Hague,
where party feeling ran high. As most
people in this country know, in the coun
tries of Europe south of the English
Channel every American and Englishman
met by the natives Is called 'English.'
I was referred to as 'English' frequently,
and the atmosphere around me at first
was very chilly. How cold the first audi
ence seemed to be when I came on the
stage, about to sing! In a little while,
when I warmed-up to my work, the peo
ple 'out front were liberal enough to
encourage me by their applause, because
I seemed to satisfy them as a singer. Do
you see?
"While at The Hague I sang .Rossini's
William Tell' in the original key, sing
ing it in French. I sang while there In
Les Huguenots,' 'L'Africane, Le
Prophete, 'II Trovatore,' 'Cavallerla Rus
ticana,' 'Rigoletto,' and 'Tannhauser.'
Looking ..back at those days, I certainly
began unfieV adverse conditions, because
of tbe strong feeling at that time against
every man known to be a member of the
Anglo-Saxon race, and from the mistaken
idea, especially among Latin peoples,
that the average Anglo-Saxon cannot be
an artist. Absurd. After The Hague
engagement I returned to Paris, where
for seven months I continued my work,
and then accpted another engagement
for grand opera at the Municipal Opera
House where for six months I sang a
ropertolr In French and Italian.
"Returning to France, I sang in 'La
Julve, taking the tenor part of a man
who is supposed to be C5 years old. Cheer
ful, wasn't it? Then a wonderful event
to me at least came Into my life. Frau
Wagner sent for me. asking me to visit
her immediately at Beyrouth, on bus!
jiess: She engaged me to sing for her
in a big festival to be given in a Paris
opera house, Selgfrled in 'Gotterdam
merung,' this being a sequel of the ring
and opera of 'Selgfrled being sung at the
same time in another Paris opera house
by Jean de ticszKe. .tiere, too, l was
most kindly received."
Mr. Castleman did not say what was the
absolute truth that In the opinion of
eminent Critics his artistic work stood
the most favorable comparison as op
posed to the great Jean de Reszke's
a tenor who is called by many musicians
the greatest tenor of the age, a tenor who
demanded and received his $4000 per night
at the Metropolitan Opera House, ICew
York City, until the advent of Manager
Conreld.
"Well,- what happened after yoh scored
against Jean de .Reszke, in Paris?" de
manded the reporter.
"Pardon me when I had the pleasure
of singing In the same city with Jean de
Reszke," said Mr. Castleman, smlllng "I
was engaged to sing for two years at the
Royal Opera House, Antwerp, Belgium
but the rights to my services in the sec
ond year were bought to allow me to
return to the United States andXappear
In opera under the management of Mr.
C. B. Dillingham. I was not in a position
to decline the great financial inducements
then held out to me. and I accepted, ar
riving In this country early In 1S03. Lately
I have been enjoying a well-earned rest.
I should have sung in 'Parsifal' at Bey
reuth, August 22, but my familiarity with
German was not sufficient to warrant me
In going on with this special engage
mont.
"What is your favorite grand opera?
"That is a difficult question to answer,
but after a little reflection I must an
swer 'Tristan and Isolde. "
"And your favorite song?"
Mr. Castleman bent his brows in
thought, arid then laughed. "That Is
even a harder nut to crack," he com
iplalned; "However, I think the aria from
Sigurd' is one of the most beautiful of
musical compositions."
"Vocal students In Oregon who have
studied hard complain of the tremen
dous amount of hard work necessary
before one can achieve any result in
WIMJAM CASTLEMAN", A FAMOUS AMERICAN TENOR.
grand opera," suggested the reporter.
"We neglect to do the disagreeable
part of singing," affirmed Mr. Castle
man, speaking more earnestly. "Work,
work, work it is more essential to one
than a fine voice. We ought to work
all the time In opera. A mediocre voice
often, very often, accomplishes more
than the gifted aspirant with his or
her beautiful voice. The proof of It is
In tha. fact that there are now before
the public in prominent positions mind
you, many more singers of other races
than the Anglo-Saxon; for, in spite of
their God-given voices, they are in the
minority and to a very great extent.
"I personally have seen in my lim
ited experience young compatriots,
many of them, come to Paris with the
natural gifts that would cause me to
believe that very short time would see
them occupying fixed places in the ar
tistic world. But I saw them fade into
oblivion, without so much as a hearing.
Not from any fault of -manager or di
rectors of operahouses, but because the
singers had wasted their opportunities
tn nranare for the trrand occasion
that Is bound to come to young singers.
Believe me. managers and directors are
hunting talent just as anxiously as we
look for them.
"The same young people seem to
feel that all that Is necessary to soar
to the highest round of the artiste lad
der is to have a few months study in
Paris, or in some other European capi
tal, ln the atmosphere, as they say, of
the 'artistic surroundings. This is all
very well and most beneficial, of course,
but this 'atmosphere to which they so
often refer is, to my mind, a much-
abused term and is not at least to be
found in the cafes and music halls
which abound to such a degree, and are
often found more enlivening and pleas-
It was too late and horse and engine both
jumped clear off the right of way into a
wheat field.
"My train was a sight Thecars were
piled one on top of the other from the
tender to the caboose andI thought that
the whole crew was killed of course. I
climbed qut of the engine she had lit on
her feet and started back to help dig
out the bodies.
"Most of the train had been made up of
empties and among the lot was a num
ber of wood cars. About -half way down
.the line I heard an awful yelling and
praying, and as I came around the end of
an upturned car I caught sight of my
brakle friend of the whiskers with his
head and shoulders thrust through a big
hole smashed In the side of a car.
" 'For God's sake, man,' he called as he
caught sight of me, 'help me out of this.
I am smothering to death. Don't leave
me. Stay by me till I die.'
"By this time the conductor and an
other brakeman had come up and be
tween ua.we got the Imprisoned man out
of his -Cage. Then we Joshed hltn and
showed him that he had had a whole car
to walk around in and get his breath. If
he had not been so scared that he had
lost it yelling for some one to let him
out."
That brakeman la a young man, but
his hair is white from the scare he got
that day.
"How did I come to quit? Well, I ran
Into a farm, wagon, killed both horses,
smashed the wagon to pieces, broke the
farmer's leg and cut off these three
fingers. Then I gave up and went to haul
ing trunks for a living. But every time I
see the old brakeman I have to ask him
about his wind, just to get even for the
way he used to talk to me about coolness
in action," and the ex-engineer drove" his
horse into the shade of a tree and went
inside for a drink.
THE UNDOING OF
"NIFTY MAC"
ant than the constant humdrum of the
real student's life.
"Mind. I don't intend to convey the
idea that all Americans who come to
Paris dissipate and spend their lives in
revelry. But I do say that they are
often misled by their desires to get up'
as It were, too easily, and frequently
seek pleasures that, while not necessa
rily in the form of dissipation, inter
fere with their duties as students. The
real ambition-plodder will not neglect
these duties be It fdr a theater party,
a society tea or other social pleasures,
all of which must be given up by the
one who is striving for success, and If
thoy are Interested in work it becomes
a pleasure to do so, rather than a sac
rifice. "You ask about my own humble expe
riences? Well, I don't know that I
have had any 'that would be of interest
to any one. But as you have been kind
'enough to interest yourself in me to
that extent, I don't know of anything
.that I might say with more sincerity
than to assure you that I have tried
and, am still trying earnestly to learn
the bigger things of an artistic life
during my years of study and work.
As I go along I try to adapt myself to
them as far as possible.
"I originally went to Europe with, the
idea of returning after a few months of
study to continue my work in comic
opera; but after s.tudy I found myself
drifting to grand opera. So are our
paths often changed. During my visit
to Portland, I wish to say that I have
been much pleased with the uniformly
good quality of voices that It has been
my pleasure to hear.
"It's about time to go to that base
ball game. I wouldn't miss a ball game
for anything. How we students longed
for baseball In Paris."
"COOLMESS IN ACTION'
The Ex-En gin eei's Story.
THE expressman with the three fingers
off his - right hand backed his
wagon up to the depot platform just as
the 11 o'clock train whistled In. Then
he sauntered out to the side of the baggage-car
and shook -hands with the old
man with the long white whiskers and
the uniform of a passenger brakeman.
"Hello, pardnor," said the man minus
the digits to the man plus the facial
adornment, "have you got your wind
yet?" The man of hair smiled some and
thought he had.
The Spectator climbed Into the wagon
and 'rode down town with the oxpress-
man, thus saving car fare.
"Did you see that old man with the
whiskers?" suggested the man who hauls,
as he remlniscently bit off a few ounces
of twist The Spectator had noticed, and
also had heard.
"I always say that to him every time
I get a chance, just to get even," ex
plained the driver, apologetically. Then
he told the story.
"I was an engineer, on the freight run
between Portland and Roseburg some
years ago,", he said, "and I had some of
the worst luck of any man on the line.
I ran over cows and horses, killed sheep
and dogs and came so close to running
down a wagon-load of picnickers that I
saw hands and .legs and things in the air
every time I came, to that curve for a
month.
"The fact was I had so much bad luck
that it got on my nerves and I would
see things on the track every time I
came to a crossing, and I got into the
.habit oflowing up on every curve. That
wmsiterea oraKeman was on tne neaa-end
and used to make ftm of me, telling me
that I should be cool and collected In
time of danger and never see or imagine
things unless they really happened. It
.made me mad, of course, but It didn't
cure the habit and I got so that I couldn't
sleep for the dreams I had.
"As a result I went to sleep for a min
ute one night on the run up and woke
up just in time to see a horse walk out
bn the track, ahead of my engine. I
threw her back onto her hind legs, but
OREGON GIRL LEAVES FOR MISSION FIELD
On the passenger list of the steam
er Doric, which sailed from San
Francisco on Thursday, -was tho
name of Mies Elizabeth Cairo tiers,
who departed for Laos, where she
has been assigned as a missionary
by the North Pacific Board of Por
lgn Missions. Miss Can-others left
Portland a week ago last night a
bevy of friends seeing her off on the
first etago of her long Journey. The -Doric

on Thursday of thia week, where a
stay of a few hours 'will be made.
From there to Japan direct, and
from, thence to Chinese ports in
cluding Shanghai to Bangkok, ,the
capital of Slam, to which country
Laos is tributary. From that city
the last stage of the missionary's
Journey will be made in houseboat
on the river Menang. Natives, who
walk along the bank of the river,
pull the boats forward with ropes.
This "progress" is expected to con
sume six weeks. A. number of other
missionaries will make the Journey
together, and if everything goes well
the party will reach Lawahn.Whe
capital of Laos, about Thanksgiving.
Mies Cairo thers is a native daugh

of Continental curios.
Miss Carro there leaves a wide circle of relatives and friends, who will follow
with affectionate solicitude the' welfare of the tall, handsome Oregon girl In her
field of Christian effort In the Far East. .

THIS little moral story, as all stories
should be, is true. It happened in
one of the big piano, stores in this cty,
and there are corroborating witnesses.
Among other salesmen there is one whom
the elevator boy designates as "Nifty"
and the elevator boy discerns well. Mac
is his name and he sells many pianos
where others fall, but he had a very bad
quarter of an hour one day not long ago.
This Is the way it was:
A large, florid man who prefers Lew
Docks tader to Edouard de Reszke came
into the place looking for a patent device
for beating ragtime out of a tinny piano.
The large man wore a noticeable waist
coat and heavy white gems. He "looked
good" to Mac, and was marked for con
quest Now the particular pride of the
establishment Is an electric substitute for
the "professor." It syncopates "The Holy
City" and "Pas Ma La" with equal facil
ity; it looks well and does not smoke
cigarettes. A messenger boy might carry
it on his bicycle and it fits under the
keyboard as if Jt had grown there. Mac
decided that the florid customer needed
it and had the money, so he led him
thither and pressed the button. The ma
chine started in gleefully to execute "Mr.
Dooley" and while the Florid Person kept
time with his off foot Mac buzzed into
hi3 ear the praise which was justly com
lng to the inanimate willing worker at the
ivories. "The advantage of this player
over 'all others is that it is never out of
order, always plays in perfect time and
Interprets the most difficult selections
with the delicacy of tone coloring which
only the very finest virtuosos attain.
King Edward VII has one in- his front
room and Alphonso XIII is lulled to sleep
every night by its strains. It is also
recommended very highly by James J.
Jeffries, and President Smith, of the Mor
mon church." That Is the way Mac
buzzed through "Pretty Mollle Shannon,"
"Dp In a Cocoanut Tree" and "The Gon
doller." "
The patent-applled-for concert was go
ing splendidly, the Florid One was finger
ing his pocketbook and Mac was already
making mind bets with his commission
The infernal machine had struck "Tessie"
and was making the piano rock for very
joy. Mac had the bit In his teeth and
was beating all records for rapid-fire
monologue. "Other alleged mechanical
players are spurious imitations. The
Pianbteer and the Olianette are absolutely
unreliable, producing a very inferior qual
ity of music and sure to break down after
being operated a short time. Our player
is never out of order, always ready for
instant use and as. you now hear pro
duces the most exquisite harmony. As
said, it has no delicate mechanism to
get out of "
Just then the Marvelous Device began
to "act up" in a most scandalous man
ner. It chased ring-streaked arpeggios
up-and down the keyboard, did a dozen or
two lightning accidentals and was lm
pnovlng a two-finger exercise in the lower
register with the loud pedal on. All this
in the middle of "Tessie," where none of
them should be. "Back up there! What's
the matter with the danged. thing? I'll
be in the noisy ward in a minute If that
racket keeps up," shouted the erstwhile
delighted "looker," just as the motor
'broke down and the tumult subsided with
half the piano keys hopelessly stuck.
The "Nifty Mac" of a few moments be
fore was haggard, humiliated and angry
almost to the point of apoplexy. He
mumbled bitter things about tho elevator
boy tampering with "the goods" and re
cited things at the offending machine
which are forbidden publication. "It
never has acted so before and won't
again in a hundred years," he managed
to babble at the Florid Man, but his heart
was not in it and it was plain that he
was undone.
"What's your old music box worth?'
asked that worthy almost contemptuously,
Mac's voice was a husky whisper. "Five
fifty, cash."
"Well, it's so cheap and it certainly did
wonderful for awhile, so I guess I'll take
it. Here's your money. Send it down to
my place this afternoon," and he handed
the salesman a new five-dollar bill and a
well-worn fifty-cent piece. Mac held
them in his hand a moment, gasped
weakly and leaned heavily against the
piano. The Florid One reached for a red
tag which dangled from the mechanical
marvel and read thereon the legend, "$550,
net." A. A. G.

An- immense slide, covering many
thousands of feet of surface, occurred
on the west side of Mount Adams the
past week. It apepared to have started
well up toward the top and rolled down
one side of the mountain. The minis
