THE SUNDAY OREGpflATf, P.OBTLA3TD, EEBRTJABY 25, 1906. 2d Portland's New Prima Donna in Concert Anna Beatrice Sheldon, to Sing at the Marquam Grand, Thursday EvolB She So&h Leaves cs Temr Gadskl Appears Here March 8 Choir Xotcs. PORTLAND lias more than a passing Interest In the high-clas concert which Anne Beatrice Sheldon, the soprano vocalist. Is to give with the assistance of Franz Boyd "Wells, the younc American pianist at the Marquam Grand Theater Thursday evening, March 1. The concert will mark the debut of Mrs. Sheldon as a concert-singer since her re cent arrival from Europe, where she spent 15 months' .study with the most famous voice authorities in the world. And it should be known that shortly after this concert, Mrs. Sheldon has consented to sing In reply to invitations to do so In different cities in the Pacific Northwest, including British Columbia. She Is well and favorably known as a concert-slneer both Jn .Vancouver, B. C, and Victoria, B. C, the latter heinj: her former home, and in the last few days her manager, George L. Baker, has received letters ask ing that he make the necessary arrange ments to present Mrs. Sheldon in concert in different neighboring cities. The gown represented in the adjoining picture of Mrs. Sheldon was made in Paris, and is beautiful and artistic Mrs. sheldon will wear this magnificent gown at her concert. Manager George X. Baker has been one of the friends who has brought Mrs. Shel don from the quiet of her home life into the limelight of concert work. He says, professionally, that she is not the Mrs. Albert C Sheldon who sang so acceptably in this city a little over 15 months ago. He gives her a new name Anne Beatrice Sheldon, prima donna soprano, the pupil of Lamperti, Jacques Bouhy, Charles V. Clark and Frau .Niessen-Stone she who was trained in the musical world of Paris and Berlin. Anne Beatrice Sheldon's life now belongs to her art, and almost against her will she Is being influenced for a public career as a high-class con cert singer. In other words, she is in the hands of her manager, and all who know Mr. Baker's business ability and enter prise will agree that ho will succeed in what he sets out to do. He predicts the most encouraging success for the new Portland vocal star Anne Beatrice Shel don. Since her arrival from Europe, Mrs. Sheldon has not sung, nor will she do so until her concert, Thursday evening, and all who then attend will experience a genuine musical treat. It's not every night we hear a new Portland prima don na soprano. Mrs. Sheldon's engaging per sonality, fine platform presence, and splendid voice are all well remembered here. The subscription sale of scats opens to morrow morning at ID o'clock at the Marquam Theater box-office, and the de mand for seats so far is a large one. The regular sale of scats opens at the Mar quam Tuesday morning. It's going to be Sheldon week in Portland, and In both musical and society circles the concert is the one principal attraction. Mrs. Shel don's many friends are sure to give her a cordial welcome, Thursday evening. LEADS WAGNERIAN SINGERS The Great Gadskl Appears at the Marquam March 8. Musicians and the general public universally agree that the youngest, freshest and most serviceable voice to be heard nowadays among the great "Wagnerian singers Is that possessed by Madame Johanna Gadski. the emi nent soprano, -who will sing at the Marquam Grand Theater March S. "Well has an Eastern critic remarked: "We gladly hear the 'has beens,' be- cause we learn so much from them; CROWNED OPERA AND SONG QUEEN VBIHiilEkj ii ft J9HBHH JOHANNA GADSFJ. HEX COXCKKT MARCH 8. hut what a delight to hear a singer who is.' Gadskl Is.'" Madame Gadskl has just again appeared In Chicago, and the newspapers there de voted columns of praise and all of their most florid adjectives in an at tempt to do justice to the rare charm and the magnificent vocal equipment of this artiste. "From the moment when Gadski came, on the stage, white garbed and picture-hatted, until her final number, the ovation was tremendous and the encores too Tiumerous to, count," wrote one Chicago critic "That the warmth of her reception was In part due to AT THE MARQUAM THURSDAY EVENING her strong personal hold on popular favor does not detract from the signif icance of the tribute, for before the afternoon was over, she had several opportunities to show the superb quality of her voice, which is one of the most brilliantly clear sopranos of the age. The eloquence and genuine effectiveness of her declamation in dramatic numbers and her capacity of investing selections of a higher order with the charms of delicacy and senti ment, und with all the finer shades and subtleties, cannot be excelled by any- of the older wingers who have been years longer in building- up their art istic reputations than it has taken this splendid young German artiste to make herself Internationally beloved." I After the three big concert compa nies with which the musical public ANNA BKATRXCK SHELDON. DONNA SOPRANO. has been favored this season, it will be an added delight to hear a great artiste in simple recital, and the news of Gadskl's coming has been hailed with much widespread appreciation by all music-lovers. roaU..

Madame Maconda's serious Illness has compelled her to cancel her Pacific Coast tour, which was to have been under the management of Lois Stecrs-Wynn Coman. The Portland concert was to have been the last of the notable series offered the local musle-lovcrs, and when the news of Maconda's Illness was wired the managers they Immediately tried to find a substitute for the number. Illness being one of the sudden and Insuperable difficulties with which all managers must contend. Kubelik. of course. Is a tremendous drawing card, and one of the highest priced artists of the musical world. He recently received J1S.000 for three concerts in Chicago, and his financial drawing powers are even greater than were those of PaderewskI In the hitter's most popular , days. It was not thought possible, at first, to secure the Bohemian violinist. He Is in such demand throughout the East that It has heretofore been impos sible to entice him farther West than Chicago. But, after much correspondence and many telegrams, the matter has been finally arranged, and the last of the con. certs on the subscription list will be one of the most brilliant events of a very brilliant year. The course opened this year with the always popular Harold Bauer, who has made a tremendous sensation throughout the East this season, playing with all the fine -orchestras and being offered fine In ducements to appear at too big Spring festivals. The second concert was the first appearance in this part of the coun try of beautiful Emma Barnes and her fine company, the third being the ballad concert by the "Watkln Mills English Con cert Party. Kubelik has been repeating his triumphs In the East, playing to the largest busi ness, numerically and financially, that New Tork and Boston have known this season. DOMAIN 'OF MUSIC. Miss M.
