GRACE GEORGE'S gowns worn In
"A Woman's Way" are marvels of
beauty, and the young actress
carries them with a pretty style all her
own.
Her first entrance gown is a visiting
costume of rich and costly white ma
terials, . the foundation being a heavy
quality of dull white satin. The em
pire coat, which she later throws aside.
Is white satin, heavily embroidered and
ornamented, with designs of white
chiffon velvet, outlined with white slllc
braid. It is three-quarter length, and
the front is trimmed with eight large
white embroidered buttons, four on
each side.
The gown is dlrectolre with a short
train. The square neck of the bodice
and short elbow sleeves are of soft
white lace, with richly embroidered
bands across the breast and shoulders.

extreme shapes, a sort of a deep sooop,

their teacher's studio last week. Special

Ir. and Mrs. A. L. Richardson passed
through Portland a day or two ago on
their way to La Grande, their home. Mrs.
Richardson is a prominent singer of La
Grande and has just finished a season of
study with Oscar Saenger, the . well
known vocal teacher of New York City.
Carl Denton, for nine years organist
and choirmaster at Trinity Episcopal
Church, Nineteenth and Everett streets.
has resigned, and the new appointee is
R. J. Hutohlnson. who was organist and
choir director of Westminster Presby
terian Church. Mr. Denton began his
musical duties at the old Trinity Episco
pal Church that stood at. the northeast
corner of Sixth and Oak Btreets and re
gained his position as organist and choir
master when the new church was opened,
and until a few days ago. Mr. Denton
has won many friends by the skill he has
phown in choir management, his musi
cianship and his ability as organist.
William H. Boyer has resigned as mu

Church and will be succeeded there next
season by Robert Boice Carson, at pres

Centenary Methodist Church. Mr. Boyer
is well known as one of the pillars of
music In the Pacific Northwest and has
not only won renown In church choir
work, but is recognized as one of the
principal directors of oratorio chorus
work west of Chicago.
v

about eight inches In length. The

soprano, and has sung for four years
with great success as soprano soloist In
St. Mary's Catholic Cathedral choir and
for seven years as soprano soloist In the
First Baptist Church, or White Temple,
choir. Her clear voice is considered to be
remarkable not only for its purity in lyric
work, but also in passages calling for
greater volume.
The one great orchestral event of the
local season of 1909-10 .was the music
treat given by Walter Damrosch, the
New Tork Symphony Orchestra and Ave
soloists, at the Armory, last Wednesday
afternoon and night. Two large audiences
attended and, naturally enough, Dam
rosch and his orchestra were praised as
"the greatest ever." To meet their really
serious orchestral rivals one would have
to go to Europe say to Berlin, Munich,
Paris or London. I wrote a lengthy criti
cism in The Oregonian of last Thursday
of the two concerts, and need add no
more now! The tenor soloist. Reed Miller,
was the best of the four, and It Is very
seldom we hear such an excellent singer
en tour. Madame Van der Veer, con
tralto, who in private life is. Mrs. Reed
Miller, substituted without any previous
notice "Ah Mon F"ils," from "Ie
Prophete," in place of number four on
the programme, an air from Gounod's
"Sappho." I asked Mr. Iomrosch, after
the first concert, if there had been any
changes from the printed programme, and
Le replied "No." That was where he for
got. The concerts were given under the
direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman.
'
Miss Dagmar Inez Kelly, a young me-o-soprano
whose fine singing Is meeting
with much favor, was soloist at a concert
given in St. Joseph's Hall, Salem, Or.,
last Thursday night, and her selections
were: "When the Birds Go North Again"
CWilleby), "Wishes" (Sana Soud), 'The
Bowl of Roses" (Clark), "Rose In the
Bud" (Dorothy Foster), -Absent" (Met
calf), "Spring" (Neldllnger). Miss Kelly
was EJndly received.
The Grace Methodist Church male
chorus, with about 90 voices on the mem
bership roll, plans to enjoy its annual
river excursion, on a steamer. May 30.
J. W. Belcher has been re-engaged as
music director and tenor soloist' at the
First Baptist Church choir and Mrs. Lulu
Dahl Miller as contralto for the ensuing
year, with Miss Leonora Fisher as or
ganist. There are vacancies both for
soprano and baritone soloists In that
choir, as Mrs. Belcher goes in the Fall
to Europe and Milton E. Runyan, bari
tone, plans to go East.

Yesterday from New Tork for Europe,
