She ks not classed as a woman artist, and in tact ono of the most eminent tributes (wer paid to her was during a discussion fcy a great orchestral conductor as to the propriety of women pianistes playing cer tain virile compositions. The turn of conversation was' made on a certain German phrase signifying a fe male piano player. To this Carreno 'ob- jected. claiming the concerto as one of the most brilliant concert selections. "But you are not a woman player, Madame," deftly rejoined the conductor, and indeed the entire artistic world is of his opinion. Notwithstanding this Carreno believes that women can do some things as well as other people. One of these is to play the piano, another Is to compose music. The late Dr. Leopold Damrosch had numer ous discussions with Carreno on the sub ject during a tour of his orchestra for which Carreno was the soloist. Dr. Dam rosch was constantly representing to his soloists that though woman, now-a-d&ya, wrote good novels, and superbly composed ' , plays and distinguished herself in profes sions formerly only open to men, was, in short, endowed with Intense musical feel ing understanding and sympathy, yet never produced truly original musical compositions of actual, worth. To all of which Carreno replied, "Do they not?" Put once when Dr. Damrosch asked Carreno to play him something new, some of the airs of Venezuela, where she was ! born, she complied, saying merely, as , she seated herself at. the Instrument, : "This is the national air of Venezuela." ' Dr. Damrosch was charmed; he found it 1 an Inspiration; probably something done ' by a German composer, but wonderful. "And who wrote It?" he asked -finally. ' Carreno looked him squarely In the eye, "I wrote it," she said. "Well," said Dam rosch, "it Is one of the best things I ever heard." . ,-, 4;--- jr- f .

THE WEEK IN PORTLAND THEATERS COXTINCED FROM SECOXD PAGE. rank.' This U- a bill of costly acts,' the salaries running up Into four figures, and ?ach act comes with a double guarantee from other cities along the circuit. The main feature will be the Ameen Abou Hamad and his troupe of eight Arabian tumblers direct from the Madison Square harden, of New York. This is one of the best acts on the Sullivan & Considine circuit. It Is said to be the best Arabian acrobatic act in vaudeville. For the special added attraction will be Lizzie Evans and Jefferson Lloyd in "Turning the Tables." Miss Evans will be remembered as the star of "Fogg's Ferry." In her new vaudeville playlet she does a cowboy girl and frightens a tenderfoot In drinking bad whisky and performing tricks at the point of a gun. Later he compels her to go through trie - same performance. There is a laugh in ' every line and situation. ; The Roealres are novelty tight and slack wire artists. Mr. Rosaire is the only man in the world doing a handstand on a swinging wire. Hammon and Forrester present a melange of singing and comedy. In which they introduce an Indian song and war. dance, appearing in full Sioux costume. These costumes are genuine, and the act has been a kiiock-out in oS er cities. It is a novelty and one well .carried out. Jeseph Wood has a "Sur prise Farty," with Miss Nan Ryan and company. The company consists of six boys and girls, and there is fun and mu sic galore. Joseph Thompson will 'sing he new telephone ballad, "Hello, All Right. Good-Bye." which has the right ring to it. For the moving pictures there will be a film showing Admiral Bob Evans' fleet leaving the Atlantic Coast for its trip to the Paclllc wafers. This Is a timely and appropriate picture and will be one of the most popular numbers on the list. Today .there will be the usual Sunday performances, and these will close the present bill, headod by the Onetti Sisters, and other acts. BIMj OF. BIG FEATIUES. rantages Honks Russian Troupe and Thrilling I,lon Act. : Tantages is just concluding one of the best bills ever seen in Portland, only to put on a new show that is not one of the best, but possibly the very l.st vaude ville entertainment ever put on in a Northwest house. Of the old o il, those who have seen it will tell you not to miss the last chance of' taking it in today. Tim Croin, the celebrated mimic and comedian, the Velde t acrobatic trio with tlt.'ir loop-the-loop dogs, the novelty dancing team, the con tralto every act Is of the head lino va riety. You will like the show. But of the new bill to open Monday. Two features have been secured that ; would do credit to a big New York house. The first is the Mizkoff troupe of Rus sian dancers. The second is Frank Hall, in a return engagement with the big,, un tamed lion. Wallace. Regarding the Kupsian dance, it is said- to be the most fHSiinating on earth, incidentally the most difficult to execute. This troupe, three ieil and two women, are celebrated dan cers, agile, nimble, graceful, fascinating. 1 Only once has such a star novelty ever been seen in Portland, and that was with a big circus two years ago. Frank Hall's sensational act Is already known in Portland. ' He has had several sing a new illustrated ballad' and the mo- narrow escapes from' death since he ex hibited here last and once was clawed by the big lion just as he dodged from the cage. Only his steel nerve and absolute fearlessness have kept him from sating Wallace's appetite long since. The act took many people to Pantages every night it was on last time. These- two big special headline acts alone are worth several times the cost of admission. But the - management has seen fit to -make a strong supplementary tion pictures -will conclude the best show ye. "AXXCAL T. M. A.

Public Library Notes booking. An act of distinct and excep tional merit is that of Miss Stuart Dodd, vloliniste. Miss Dodd, known as the girl from the South, is a talented performer whose mastery of -her instrument is rare. Jolly Zebb, the jolly tramp, infuses fun Into- every audience he bucks up against. Until lately he has been known as a mu sical comedy star, but has been engaged by the Pantages circuit for a good round sunt . - Wilson and ich, singers and dancers, are of the better class of performers in their line. They are succeeded on the bill by Charles Leora, the aerial trapeze gym nast and acrobat. Fred Bauer, tenor, will son at the Marquam Grand next Tuesday afternoon. The Theatrical Mechanical Association has greatly increased during the past year, both in numbers and in standing with the public and the profes sion, and the Portland branch is one of the liveliest and most powerful in the en tire National organization.

Wherever an actor or actress who Is a member (and most of them are) hap pens to be when the benefit takes place, he or she immediately comes forward and volunteers to do everything to mjke it a success.
