THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 9, 1906.

BY MARIAN MACRAE.
THE return of Madame Norelll, the
visit of Ossip Gabrilowitsch and the
complimentary concert given by Mrs
Walter Reed for her pupils occupied the
attention of the week musically. There
were practically no small events, hut the
week seemed quite complete with the
' three occurrences mentioned, the Gabrilo
witsch concert alone being sufficient to
natlsfy lovers of real musical art. Every
Portlander is proud of having Mme. Jen
nie Norelll for a townswoman. and her
visits home are events looked forward to
by her many friends and admirers. The
brilliant success of this fascinating wo;
man has become a matter of personal in
terest to us all, and she is extended a
royal welcome to the Rose City.
Whether Portland is to have tfc pleas
ure and satisfaction of hearing its own
prima donna sing or not is still a question,
but Madame Norelli. who in private life
is Mrs. Ernest Barton, has half way con
sented to appear In concert before she
returns to England. This will not be un
til after the holidays, however, as she is
at present giving all her time to her hus
band and children. She is now at the
Portland Jlotel.
Mrs. Reed's concert was one of those
successes which must have been a source
of greatest satisfaction to her and have
repaid in great measure the enormous
amount of work demanded In its prepara
tion. The Heilig Theater reached the
overfloy stage on this occasion and Its
appearance, packed to the top of the gal
lery, must have been very encouraging to
the young soloists who made their debut
on the concert stage that night. .Mrs.
Sanderson Reed's Inability to appear was
much regretted, as she had scores of
friends present who had hoped to hear
her sing. The other soloists. Hiss Helen
I.ytle, Miss Ethel tytle, Miss Breslin,
Miss Lawler, Miss Reed and Mrs. Dahl
Mlller, were all enthusiastically received
and all gave entire satisfaction. Each
had a group of three songs, including
a difficult aria, and while the programme
looked difficult for amateurs it was so de
lightfully rendered that encore after en
core was Insistently demanded. Miss
Iiwler and Miss Ethel Lytle, who have
had more experience In public singing
lhan the others, gave difficult Wagnerian
arias, both from "Tannhauser," with the
skill and finish of prima donnas and their
art was given Instant recognition. The
Treble Clef Club did beautiful work on
this occasion, the chamlnade number, "St.
John's Eve." being especially well ren
dered. Miss Eileen Webber, accompanied
the Treble Clef Club and E. E. Coursen
played for the soloists, both being most
sympathetic.
.
Musicians have talked Gabrilowitsch all
week and there has not been one criticism
of his wonderful piayinf? attempted. The
rather unusual programme announced
was commented upon a bit before the
concert, but after he had given it there
was only delight that the regulation con
cert piano numbers were left out and the
change pronounced most welcome. He is
one of the few pianists who can make his
listeners see and hear the things he is
playing about and he brings the piano
up to the power of the violin In many
respects.
These Russian names are something of
a strain upon Americans, and if Mr. Gab
rilowitsch could have heard the different
attempts to pronounce his name it might
have Interfered with his perfect perform
ance, or perhaps he might have given it
to his audience in music. As it was, he
told me how to say it. The third syllable,
"low," Is pronounced as though It were
spelled "love" and there is no emphasis
on any of the syllables, making it Ga-bri-love-ltsch.
It looks like Heller's
Tarentelle In print, but It didn't smother
the genius of this remarkable man.
The Operatlo Club will hold no further
meetings until January. .
- -
Mrs. Rose Bloch-Bauer entertained Os-
sip Gabrilowitsch and a few friends at
an impromptu recital Thursday ' after
noon. Mrs. Walter Reed will sing . at I
Grande this coining Wednesday night, and
at Bugene next Saturday evening.
--
The Treble Clef Club will sing at the
next ladieV night at -the Multnomah Club,
which will be December 20.
The quartet choir of the First Congrega
tlonal Church Is rehearsing a Christian
cantata by Frederick Field Bullard to be
sung Sunday evening. December 23.
Mrs. May Dearborne Schwab and Miss
Hthel Shea were soloists at the Elks me
morial last Sunday, Mrs. Schwab singing
"Alone With God" (Abbott) most effec
N tlvely, and Miss Shea's rich voice was
most affecting In Lindsey's "Abide With
Me." A quartet composed' of these two
voices, together with Arthur Alexander
and W. A. Montgomery, gave four beauti
ful numbers. . .

Miss Effie Johnson, Miss Hilda Gumbert,
Miss Pearl Mastick and Miss Leslie Cats
were the soloists at Mrs. Rose Bloch
Bauer's Tuesday afternoon class. 1
A successful piano recital was given by
the junior students of Miss Grace Wil
ton's piano school last week". Thirty of
Miss Wilton's pupils are planning to give
a public recital early in January.
A clever story is told in' the Musical
Age about an Esquimo in the Far North
who heard church music from a grapho
phone for the first time. In the cold
Alaskan climate, missionaries are com
pelled to subsist almost entirely upon
canned goods through the Winter season
and when Mr. Esquimo heard a sermon
and a hymn Issuing from the large brass
trumpet he looked wise and remarked:
Religion he sometime be tin can, too."
Miss Fay Killingsworth sang a very
pleasing solo, "Alone With God" (Abbot),
at the Patton Methodist Church last Sun
day. Miss Killingsworth, together with
Mrs. C. W. Tower and Miss Blanche
Jeffreys, are late additions to Mrs. Reed's
Tuesday Afternoon Club.
Mr. Amsterdam, who had conducted his
own orchestra at the Portland Hotel for
2 years, has -gone to California where
he will probably engage as a conductor
for the Winter season. Mr. Amsterdam
has won many friends In Portland and
his music has invariably been kept up to
a high standard. Miss Fannie Amster
dam, who will be remembered for her
clever performance on the symbolin, when
the orchestra used to perform in the
downstairs skellar, is now In Dresden
with her mother studying with Mme.
Orgeni. She is much encouraged by her
teacher, who predicts that she will be
come one of the great singers of the day.
Mme. urgent taught both Emma Eames
and Mme. Gadskl and was recommended
to Miss Amsterdam by the latter on her
last visit to Portland.
Among other interesting musical chat
Miss Amsterdam writes her father of

" Henry W. Savage AVill Send Opera Company Which
Broke New York Records on 14,000-Mile Tour.
"Madame Butterfly" Is coming to Port
land In February. Manager W. T. Pangle
received a letter yesterday from Frank
C. Payne, general press representative for
Henry W. Savage, dispelling all doubts
about the Pacific Coast tour of the big
operatlo production '
With the eight performances of "Mad
ame Butterfly" this week at the Garden
Theater, New York, this grand opera
masterpiece will break the record for con
secutive performances ' of any eerious op
era previously given in thi9 country. Only
three more weeks remain in which to hear
Puccini's three-act operatic gem in the
East, Mr. Savage having extended the en
gagement two weeks- This will bring the
closing New York performance on Satur
day night, December 22, when the opera
will have attained the unprecedented run
of 50 consecutive performances. This will
exceed the record for any grand opera In
any language in this or any other coun
try. -
The longest previous record of a grand
opera Is also held by a Puccini work, his
"La Boheme" having 28 consecutive per
formances in 1808 in San Fran
cisco. The ' record " in Europe Is
said to be ' held "by Verdi's "Br
nanl." which had a run of 19 perform
ances at the Paris grand opera. American
KEEP
hearing Huberman. a ' fine violinist, for
an admission of only 37 cents, and com
ments upon how much Americans would
enjoy hearing great artists for such a
small sum. This young girl is mastering
the Italian language, already having Ger
man, French and English at her com
mand. After she completes her musical
education Mr. Amsterdam contemplates
returning to Portland to live, having con
siderable real estate interests here.
Madame Norelli's glowing account of
the remarkable genius of the young viol
inist, Mlscha Ellman, whom Daniel
Mayer, of London, has under contract,
is of deep fnterest to local musicians.
This lad Is but 14 years old, yet Is said
to be so remarkable a genius that the
great Tsaye declares he himself cannot
play with him, and Norelll considers that
he will soon outdistance . Kubelik. Tike
the latter, this boy has the wonderful
space between his fingers, which makes
extraordinary execution possible, and In
addition to this has most wonderful tem
perament. "He has the soul of a great artist he is
now a great artist," declared Norelli.
"Why, that child can make you cry he
Is a wonder."
Mayer found this genius In Russia quite
by accident. . He was visiting musical ac
quaintances and' heard the boy playing
In a studio and of course immediately
recognized his genius. He contemplates
taking him on an- Australian tour the
coming year, but has not talked of
America as yet.
"He is a remarkable child," said No
relli. "One night I had been singing the
aria from Lakme and he rushed into my
dressing-room in a whirl of excitement,
exclaiming as he looked up at me:
"How do you do' it, Madame? How do
you do it? I 60 nuzzlng you do all."
He Is a Russian Jew by birth and until
Mayer took him in charge had known
all the privations attendant upon extreme
poverty. But the musical soul was there
and It rose to the surface despite un
favorable surroundings. America will ap
preciate a .visit from this youthful
prodigy.
The season of grand opera to be given
by the San Carlo Opera Company under
the direction of Henry Russell at the Old
music-lovers will delight in the fact that
grand opera in English ha? surpassed all
records of opera in a foreign tongue. Mr.
Savage plans to give "Madame Butter
fly" nearly 200 performances during the
season, exceeding the record of 127 per
formances In English of "Parsifal."
During the past four weeks the Garden
Theater has been crowded nightly with
music-lovers, and the enormous advance
sale would indicate that "Madame But
terfly" might remain in New York all
Winter except for the fact that Manager
Savage has booked a cross-continent tour
tor the company and has been unable to
cancel the engagements In Cincinnati and
Cleveland. The- entire company, with its
orchestra of 60. will be taken direct to
Cincinnati Christmas week, and thence to
Cleveland for New -Year's week - after
which it goes to Indianapolis. St. Louis
and Chicago before starting on - its tour
to tne pacific Coast. 'An itinerary of 14,
000 miles has been laid out, including en
gagements in 60 leading cities. To accom
modate his organization, Mr. Savage will
charter a special train, with sleepers, day
coacnes and a dinmg car. in addition to
four baggage cars for the scenic produc
tion. . ,
The company of 125 people will be in
charge of Ralph Edmunds as manager.
French Opera-House in New Orleans, for
11 weeks, opened last week In a most
brilliant manner and indicated that the
glories of former years in this home of
opera, had revived and would again flour
ish as of old.' This season's subscription
Is remarkably large, and the company
has been welcomed by both press and
public with open arms, the splendid play
ing of the orchestra and excellent work
of the chorus, as well as the perfection
of the entire ensemble, eliciting the
warmest praise. In February the entire
organization of 160 people and headed by
Mme. Lillian Nordlca. Alice Nielsen.
Sig. Campanarl. Sig. Consantino. the
wonderful Spanish tenor; Sig. Perelio. a
basso of great ability. Miles. .Dereyne.
Tarquini, Milesa. Monti-Baldlnl and oth
ers, will start on a 15 weeks' tour of the
country, opening at St. Louis February
6. to be followed by engagements in In
dianapolis. Louisville. Chicago. Cincin
nati, Kansas City, Los Angeles. San Fran
cisco, Portland, Seattle. Spokane, Butte.
Salt Lake City. Denver. Omaha, closing
In the East early in May.

The musicians of Portland and other
admirers of McDowell living here have
responded nobly to the call for a con
tribution to a general fund being
raised in this country for the benefit
of the great composer,- and go on rec
ord as having- donated $400 to this
worthy undertaking. The Musical Club
gave J100 of this amount, and the pu
pils of Mrs. Richard Nunn added $50
to this amount. The rest of the amount
was contributed in varying sums from
many people. If all cities respond with
equal liberadity in proportion to their
musical population, there should eas
ily be sufficient to care for the un
fortunate composer until his death.
Edouard De Reske makes the public
statement that he will not come to.
New York to sing in Mr. Hammerstein's
Manhattan Theater Company, for the
reason that Mr. Hammerstein has neg
lected to advance him any money, and
that he cannot afford to come to
America on aa uncertainty. On the
other hand, the New York impressario
clalmB thafM. De Reske's voice is not
In satisfactory condition, and gives this
as the reason for his nonappearance.
W'hatever the real cause may be, it
goes without saying that this old
favorite in grand opera roles will be
greatly missed by New York audiences.
Bach-Gounod's Ave Maria for so
prano solo and quartet will be sung
at the First Congregational Church
this morning by the choir Mrs. Rose
Bloch Bauer, soloist, and Mrs. W. A. T.
Bushong, Walter .1. Gill and W A.
Montgomery. This evening Miss
Leonora Fisher will play an organ ar
rangement of Jadassohie's third trio
for violin. Velio and piano, op. 67. a
number of musical beauty, and Mr.
Montgomery will sing Rodney's "Cal
vary" by request, as specially fitting
to the service of the evening.
The quartet at the Temple Beth
Israel Friday night sang the "Angel's
Serenade" of Braga. Miss Barker played
the violin obligato. s

sic Club's meeting of November 30. The

Both Caruso and J3onci experienced
difficulty in obtaining their musical
educations, especially the latter, who
for foflr years walked eight miles each
day to attend conservatory lessons, no
matter what the weather might be. He
has studied longer than Caruso and his
art Is said to be much more delicate
and subtle. Carurso was only 1) years
old when he began singing In Italian
churches and it was many years before
it was determined whether he had a
baritone or a tenor voice. While do
ing military service his major heard
him singing while polishing buttons
and procured a good teacher for him.
"having him study many hours each,
day. While many years and much
money Is spent in perfecting a great
voice, the returns from a successful one
are great. Caruso has received as
high as J3000 for singing- at a private
home, and for two phonograph, records
he received $8030 outright and $4000
in royalty the first year.

The Edison Phonograph is able to fur
nish good, hearty, wholesome fun. It is
not always funny, but it can be made
funny when you like it funny.
The first work of the Edison Phonograph is to amuse. Some people
are better amused by things that are not funny. Music, operas, hymns,
ballads, old songs whatever it is that you like best that is what the
Edison Phonograph can give you best.
There are good dealers everywhere who show it and sell it. Write for
the book and you will know why you want the Edison.
