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. Then, when the King went over to

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.

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.

The fascination of that piquant mu

such that to see it once is to embrace
the opportunity of seeing it again. Dur
ing the present season the company vis
ited a city not under the jurisdiction of
Attorney Jerome, In which place flour
ishes a gambling room. The owner of
this resort of chance attended the per
formance of the "Isle of Spice" in his
city and was . so entranced with the
scene in which the two comical sailors
introduce the king to the mysteries of
faro and succeed In separating Biim
from .the contents of his royal wallet
via the route of the game, "A Triple
Kejlnks," that he followed the company
to the next town to see It over again.
In the meantime the Bign "Game Sus
pended" was displayed over his door.
