X . - " v. - - - (J T 3 ' s MADAME JACOBV, COSTRALTO, SOOS TO BE HEARD IN PORTLAND. THE first oC the subscription con certs outlined for the coming sea son will be something of a novel ty for music lovers, and will almost approach grand opera, in that the members of the quartet are all from the Metropolitan Opera Company of New York, and their programme will be arranged to jreveal the finest tal ents of the singers as well as to pre sent some of the great concerted numbers from famous operas. The Hcllig theater will house the usual brilliant audience always called forth by the splendid musical feast! annually offered here, and the season . will formally open with the quartet of singers on Wednesday evening, Oc tober 7., The members of the quartet are Madame Jacoby. the fine contralto. All of the great roles that are suited to her trumpet-like sonorous voice are as signed to her and she always brings to hr work a refinement of expression and artistic delicacy. Rappold, the soprano, has a pure, tender and sympathetic voice and in many of the grand opera roles she frequently shares the first honors with Smbrich. Martin, the tenor, and Campanari, the baritone, are' too familiar to the patrons of music to need much introduction al though this is their first big tour together. All the four are at liberty to make, this tour only because it was planned to take place before opera rehearsals opened and only a few of the cities will be Included In their four weeks tour. The concert on October 7 at the Heilig Theater is under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman and Is the first of their Winter subscrip tion series. PLAY HOSTS TO EDWARD Americans Furnish Lavish Enter tainment to British King. LONDON, Sept. 26. (Special.) "What would King Edward do for entertainments If wealthy Americans got tired of spend ing their money on royalties?" was a per tinent question put by an Englishman the other day. It is difficult to see where His Majesty could turn in such a predic ament. At Marienbad, for example, his chief host was Anthony Drexel, who, from the regularity with which he ap pears wherever the King Is staying, has come to ..be . known- as -"the King's shadow." He Is a very substantial! shadow, however, with an excellent per ception of - how Kings like to . be pro vided for. When the King had done with diplo macy or diplomats, and he wished to en Joy himself, he had Anthony Drexel ar range a dinner at the KursaaL It is the easiest thing in life to get up an enter tainment of this kind. The guests, the food, the wines, even the flowers are ar ranged for by the King orchis equerry, and all the host has to do is to foot the bill.

THE THEATERS Continued From Pace 2. tatlon as singers, present the Prison Scene from Gounod's "Faust." It is an ambitious attempt on the part of vaude ville singers, but the manner in which they succeed In their effort Is sensational. This difficult and popular work is eplen didly rendered by the trio, who essay the roles of Mephisto, Faust and Marguerite. Their voices are said to blend well and there are many splendid duets, solos and trios In the work. The act is elaborately staged and costumed, making an unusual vaudeville feature. ' John F. Clark comes highly recommend ed as a monologuist and extemporaneous singer. His comedy is said to have the grace of being clean and wholesome. Cushing.'Merrlll and Davis are expected to furnish the strong comedy feature' of the bill with their lively farce, "The Dia mond Ring." The act is said to abound In comical situations and sprightly acting. with a finale that Is a scream. Mack. Malone and Mack are "The Base ball Dancers." These boys are among the speediest and best wooden shoe dancers In America, and their burlesque on a base ball game is said (by one of the New Tork critics) to be one of the most entertaining features seen in vaudeville this year. ' Mr. Elliott Beamer, the popular bar! tone soloist, will present a new Illustrated Why So Much Fuss Over the Salome Dance? Dancer Occupies Scant Space in History, but Tragic Story Has Proved Attractive to Dramatists and Composers. WIMiyi.WMWII'W4'W'lj)Wyl' - - - ft - - i t 1 T t t' V an i MARGARET TAYLOR, IX THE SALOME DANCE, ........ I 11B "Salome" dance "lias already I struck this city, and the vision of this Oriental, maiden that has set New l ork and London wild with excitement Is to be presented here by Miss Mar garet Taylor, an English danseuseJ during the second act of "Coming Thro' the Rye," at the Heilig Thea ter. The history, what there is of It, dealing with "9alome" and her dance before King Herod, which terminated by her demand upon the King for the head of John The Baptist, has been written about so much during the past few weeks, that this bit of ancient his tory has come so much to life that It seems as though It belongs to our day. Salome the daughter of Herodias oc cupies but a scant space in history. She was summoned to dance before King Nerod at his birthday feast. On this occasion history also states that Herod was beastly intoxicated although in this state he was apparently so charmed with the sublime art Salome displayed by her graceful movements, that to show his gratitude be promised to grant her any wish that she might make. The age of the girl is not given In history, consequently It must be taken for granted that she was quite young, and not knowing what to ask of the King, she consulted her mother Herodias. The latter had a deep seated grudge against John The Baptist, who had dis pleased her by telling . the King it was wrong for him to live with (Herodias) the wife of his dead brother, and for this remark John was cast Into prison. When Salome made her request known to ths King he was struck with amase ment. but as he bad given his royal word he granted her request, and at ones had John the Baptist decapitated. His head was presented to Salome on a charger. Remorse and terror struck the girl. She gazed upon It and moved away, but the dead eyes seemed to fol low her movements, and she swooned tnrougn rear. It is this tragic story that Oscar Wllda wrote about, after which his book was set to music by Richard Strauss. In very short time It became the opera of the year on the Continent This same opera was presented at the Metropolitan Opera-House. New York, a little over a year ago. iubllc Interest was aroused. Lectures were given upon the music, and subject. But the first performance so overcame the large audience that It was never again presented. The dance was then given under the title of the seven veils. It was , mere curiosity that first prompted Miss Maud Allen to Introduce a barefoot dance in London, which she called the vision of "Salome." On her first appearance she created a furore. and was shortly commanded to appear at Buckingham Palace before King Ed ward. The King was charmed, and this started the "Salome" craze. New Tork was staggered off its feet when Gertrude Hoffman first gave an imitation of the Maud Allen version of "Salome" but soon settled down end clamored for more. And now every theater in the Metropolis has Us Salome representative. How long this craze will last there is no telling. At present all other dances have been forgotten. In some of the continental cities they tell you that dancing was the first art to receive recognition. That the poetry of motion, is the only true poetry. This city like all others awaits to pass Judgment upon a craze that has sprung up like a mushroom In the night. HEILIG THEATER 14th and WASHINGTON ST 3.
