Bauer, Master Musician, Plays Wednesday
Auspicious Opening of Lpis Steers-Wynn Coman Concert Season.
THE return o Harold Bauer, pianist.
I In tho ripo fullness of his powers, In
oncert Wednesday evening, makes
a. mo3t auspicious opening for the Ixris
Steers-Wynn Coman course of concerts
this season.
It -would be difficult to find a more at
tractive artist, or. Indeed, a more locally
popular one, to open the course with
than Bauer, for he left a most enviable
reputation when he played here a few
seasons ago, and a very widespread. de-
Biro to have him appear again. He was
almost an unknown quantity, at least in
the "West, when Miss Steers first engaged
him, and, although tho weather on the
night of his first appearance here was
Btormy, a very .good-sized house greeted
the young artist Now, after a few sea
sons abroad, where the laurels have come
with the most unusual rapidity, it will be
an added pleasure to have him reappear
and display the riper powers and the
growth o his splendid art.
Eastern critics .have seldom exhibited
enthusiasm In a more pronounced degree
than they have over Bauer's perform
ances. "After tho dry, langorous play
ing we have heard In our -concert hall,"
vrote Henry T. Flnck, in the New York
Post, "Mr. Bauer was as refreshing as
a shower bath in August. And the ap
plausehow different lsthe spontaneous
outburst which follows the emotional
playing of emotional music, from the hes
itating, dutiful applause which follows a.
merely intellectual interpretation of mere-,
ly intellectual music!" English musical
writers expressed equally cordial appre
ciation. "I - went to. St. James Hall to
criticize," confessed the critic of the Ref
eree, "and remained to enjoy. I referred
last week to tho reputation .thls'oung
musician has acquired on the Continent
and in America. From his playing at tho
recent London Festival, my; .-anticipations
were considerable, but thejwere exceeded
Wednesday by realization." "
Since his last visit to the United States,
Bauer has been filling many important
engagements in Europe and South Amer
ica, A recent letter to his manager states
that he (Bauer) had' given over 150 con
certs in all. Dcsplto this activity, he
found time to arrange an entirely new
repertoire for the present season, and the
programme for Wednesday contains some
wonderful selections. The concert will be
at the White Temple.
UNDER MEXICAN SKIES.
Sweetness of Grand Opera Mixed
With Iurld Bullfights.
Ten months ago. Miss Rita Hansen, a
favorite contralto soloist, left this city
to visit relatives in Mexico where she
may permanently locate. Gifted music
ally both in voice and temperament.
Miss Hansen was connected with tho
music department of the University of
Oregon, and sang ag soloist "in several
Portland churches. She is also remem
bered as a member of the Treble Clef
Club. The following re extracts from
a letter just written by Miss Hansen
and aJdressed from Guadalajara, Mex
ico, to her former teacher, Mrs. Walter
Reed:
It is a long time elnce that promised let
ter. At flrst there was so much to see,
later there was sickness In the family and
even death. In the. short time I have had
many experiences, but I have thougrht of
my eld friends many times, even though
I have not written. Expected to be able to
fpeak Spanish on my arrival, but It was a
dream. Words I could say and, with care,
could mak3 myself understood, but to un
derstand that was tho trouble. I began
to study immediately, and am still at It.
with a Mexican girl. We exchange lessons,
English and Spanish.
The whole trip was pleasant, and inter
esting to me. o course. From San Fran
cisco to Los Angeles it was line; to El Paso
mostly desert and dust., and over the border
Into Mexico all -desert and dust and dirt,
and beggars, dirty, ugly Indians. And such
povcrtyl Poor old adobe houses, without
roofs, and no water. I saw an old woman
wash in the water left by the train In pass
ing. But it was all new to me. the stopping
at queer hotels, rushing to and from the
train at all hours, watching the queer peo
ple, eta I bad the luck to meet a charming
girl from Virginia, traveling with her
brother, and we were together for two days.
I had quite an experience before reaching
my destination. Wo were to reach Irapuato
at 3 A. M.. and the porter took me oft at
the wrong station. It was very dark, and
there were crowds of Indians squatting on
the ground with their baskets of fruit. The
only light was in a little inn a block from
the station. I had not time even to tie my
shoestrings or close my grip, and so I and
the porter, carrying my open grip, entered
the Inn.. I was the only one to leave the
train, and there I was, the porter about to
leave me, when the conductor rushed In.
sent tho sleepy porter off and took me back
to the train. Narrow escape, all right. At
Irapuato two American men got off with me,
and made mo sit on the grips while they
Hood one on cither Bide guarding me, as it
were. In the station, which was crowded
with Indians and peons, who are the lowest
and worst class of the Mexican people. They
were a bad-looking lot, enough to scare
anybody.
About two hours aKcr my arrival in Guada
lajara I waa invited to a bullfight, where
Mazantlnl, a noted Spanish torrero, was to
fight. I bad to accept, for I had no excuse
to offer my friends that would be accented
by them. I never slept that night. My mind
has still so vivid an Impression of the scene
that it would not be difficult to write everr
detail from the opening of the doors to tho
dragging uway of the last bull. It was con
sidered a great bullfight. The best people had
boxes and were elegantly dreased. But the
cruelty of it all appalled me. Awaiting the
bull" entrance were a number ot men on
a fence, and as the bull passed the first gate,
a email knife or dagger with a long, colored
ribbon attached was stuck in the back of the
neck. The bull rushed Into the ring and was
tormented with the scarlet cloaks, banderillas,
long knives with colored papers, which were
etuck into the back or neck, two at a time, un
til It looked as if the poor beast had a scarlet
collar, with the dripping Wood. But that is
enough.
For the first week there waa so much 16 eee
La Catedral, Hosplclo. (homo for poor chil
dren). La Penltenclera, El Palacio, Lae Col
onlas (French and American colonies) and La
Pedro, where the fine Mexican. 'ware is made.
The opera-house, Teatro Dfgollada, is very
large and the colling is beautifully frescoed.
Tetrazlnl was here for a week, and we 1eard
he- in "Lucia," "Borneo and Juliet" and
"Los Pescadores," all of which we enjoyed im
mensely, especially "Lucia," which she sings
beautifully. She is certainly a great artiste
and her company la" about' the only good one
that appears at Guadalajara She visits here
every six months.
The poverty is something, awful. There are
m many cripples and so much disease among
ine poor, xne nouses as a rule are uclv
and look like orisons, with their barred win
dows. But one gets usod to this. The French
and American colonies look more like nans
of American cities. Some of the homes are
charming, with beautiful gardens. But though
tho Mexican homes may look like a prison from
the outside, they are like paradise within,
with their palms, flowers and fountains.
.Remember me to the Treble Clef rirls. Ttn-x
I miss tho singing! I am getting to be quite
a Mexican and even wear the "chal," a long,
thin black scarf or shawl. Instead of hat,
and can now speak fairly good .Spanish.

The principal features musically were the

no vocal artists so stood out from the rest

from his Country is His Excellency, Senor

more than a week ago. His arrival in
this country before the newly accredited
Ambassadors: from Russia and Mexico
gives him precedence over them on all.
state occasions, though the representa
tives of those two countries were, until
this Summer, at tho head of the list of
diplomats.
By the transfer of Count Casslnl, ot
Russia, the Italian Ambassador, Baron
Mayor des Planches became doan of the
diplomatic corps, while the death of
Senor d'Azpiroz. of Mexico, made Baron
Hengclmueller, the Ambassador from
Austria-Hungary, second In command.
The French Ambassador, Monsieur Jus
serand, who began service hero In Febru
ary, 1X3, is next in line. The German
Ambassador, Baron Speck von Sternberg,
with whom the President enjoys a special
feeling of comradeship, came to thla
country August, 1903, and was followed
soon after by the British Ambassador,
Sir Mortimer Durand. The French, Ger
man and Austrian Ambassadors have
spent tho warm weather abroad, but are
expected at their respective embassies be
fore the formal opening of the season.
Before leaving Washington In the Spring,
Baron von Sternberg contracted for a site
on Sheridan circle overlooking the prop
erty of the new French Embassy, where
on the German government contemplates
erecting an elegant new residence for its
Ambassador. Emperor William Is said to
be personally Interested in the plans for
the new home and to approve the Idea of
having it a reproduction of the famous
Sans Souci at Potsdam. The present Ger
man Embassy Is a handsome red brick
and fcrownstone mansion on Massachu
setts avenue, midway between tho Win
ter homes of Senator Dolliver, of Iowa,
and Senator Long, of Kansas. The loca

of the show places of the city, with a
highway leading to it bordered by three

The Japanese Minister, Mr. Takahlra,
has been away from Washington so
continuously of late, attending to his
duties as peace envoy, that his return
to tho legation this week was almost
in the nature of a visit While here,
he accepted no invitations, but was
frequently seen spinning around the
city, clad in a spotless suit of linen.
He will leave soon to visit relatives
In Japan.
Large families are the exception, not
the rule. In Mlkadoland, and the Min
ister's family of two sons and a
daughter is dangerously near the dividing-
line, according to Japanese
standards. The little folks were never
brought to America, and for this reas
on Madame Takahlra only remained in
Washington two years at the begin
ning of her husband's service In this
country. She returned to Japan just
as the war with Russia began, and all
during the trouble rendered valuable
assistance to the army nurses. While
here, she endeared herself to many, and
her coming again with the Minister, in
December, is a happily anticipated
event.

Wednesday evening at St. David's Protestant
Episcopal Church by Frederick W. Goodrich,
the organist and choir director of the church.
The programme was taken from the works of
German composers, written specially for thf
king of instruments. The special features
were in the flrst part comprising the "A
Flat Sonata" of Rhelnburger. the "Prelude
and Fugue In G Major" of J. S. Bach, and
two movements of Mendelssohn's organ sonata
in B flat.
But a most dainty pastoral of G. Markel'3
must not be forrotten. for it charmed the
audience and came In as a relief between the
classical compositions mentioned. It Is not
necessary now to eulogize Mr. Goodrich's
playing, as he has been so often heard In thfe
city. But the Baqh fugue Is one sometime-
attempted by amateurs, to their downfall,
as It needs, not only absolute precision and
clearness, but mastery of the pedHls ae t
both time and execution. Mr. Goodrich was
assisted by Mrs. Millie Perkins, soprano, who
aang the Jubal's lyre song from "Jepbtba."
and "Elizabeth's Prayer" from "Tannhaweer."
to the satisfaction ot her hearers. There was
a fair-sized and appreciative audience.
The Parish Choir, a Boston musical publica
tion, has Just published two new anthems writ
ten by Mr. Goodrich, and they show him to b
not only a composer, but a musician of hteh
merit. The more ambitious anthem of tho
two is "Bleseed City. Heavenly Salem." fr
solo voices and chorus, and the other anthem
la "The Souls of the Righteous." The Utter
composition Is one of refined choral beauty
and is of moderate difficulty, quite within the
range of church choirs and quartets.
