especial beauty and appeal, and Hof

direction of t.ota !ter-Wynn i'omaa,
Tha'flrst rt operatic tenor to trlslt
Portland within the past 1 years will
be Alesandro Hon.l. who. In bis par
ticular sphere of bel canto slnc-lna. has

come to Portland Wednesday night.
March Vk at tha Hl!l- Theater, and Is
the third of th subscription concerts
Klven by lols Steers-Wynn Coman
this season. Bond was not on th
original list of concerts announced last
September, but th opportunity to se
cure him ram Just at the time that
tWTlHe-Reach, tb contralto who had
been announced In the series, canceled
her engagement to sing here on ac
count of Illness, and the great tenor,
who gives on of th most scholarly
and classical programmes conceivable,
was speedily secured.
Bond Is the great exponent of bel
canto, the highest art In s'.gttig. Its
requirements are so great that few
men have the ability, courage and ab
solute consecration to rise to Its almost
Impossible heights. Although Bond's
greatest successes so far In this coun
try have been won on the stages of
the Manhattan and Metropolitan opera
houses In New York City, and though
he has been declared to be the only
tenor living who la able to satisfac
torily hand th tenor role in the
older Ita'.lan operas, such a "Son am -bula.
"Barber of Seville." "lion" l"as
quatl." and others. In which th bel
canto style of singing la absolutely
essential, his present concert tour has
been greeted with tremendous success.
The recital her will present some of
the arias for which the lyric tenor has
become so widely celebrated.
Waldemar I.lnd. Frank O. Elchen

Philip Hale, the noted Boston music
al crttlc. Is an active worker In the
crusade for the promotion of opera
sung In F.ngtlah. and th encourage
ment of American music. Says Mr.
Hale: "Mr. lalmores. tbe distinguished
tenor talked recently not only about
himself, which was to be expected, but
about opera In K.ng:tsh for American
audiences. He talked sensibly, for he
believes that, when It la possible, an
opera should be aung In the language
In which It waa originally wrltten
Alda" tn French at the Parts Opera.
se.1.1 Mr. Ialmores. Is odious, and In
German In Berlin It Is worse. On the
other hand. If yon have heard a per
formance of a Wagnr work in Parts
you know that It Is nothing Ilk a Uer
rr.an performance. It baa not at all
the same spirit. It amaaed me. when
I first came here, to see row after row
of people studying librettos, with the
Knc'.lsh text on one side and the
French text on th other, but 1 soon
realised that It waa much better so.
The text of the opera la not vulgarised
by a singing translation Into English.
Instead. It Is sung In the original
tongue on the stage, whtl th auditor
by mean of the libretto gets into the
spirit of th work. At a second or
third hearing he can easily follow It
without reference to his book.
-It may first be said that out of
le American singers are almost unln

been singing In the Bolognese dialect

Btanrhard. a Spaniard by birth and
accustomed to the use of the Italian
and French languages, enunciated with
remarkable clearness and accuracy.
Mr. Clement, a Frenchman, at the last
Cecilia concert, modestly gave a les
son to all local singers In the art of
enunciating English."

It Is not too much to say that the I
fourth annual concert of Grace Methodist
Episcopal Church choir male chorus,
held last Wednesday night In the auditor
ium of that church, mas a musical event
of much Importance In this city and waa
listened to with more than ordinary
pleasure. When one recalls thst many of
the young men exngera on that Interest
ing occasion represented at the early part
of the musical season of 1910-11 so much
"raw material." the choral triumph won
by the director and trainer. William Man
sell wilder, was all the more notable snd
he Is entitled to a hearty hand shake.
When you meet him. shake his hand and
tell htm so.
The male chorus work for finish, con
fidence, boldnessi In attack and delicacy
of shading Is better by X per cent over
last year's chorus work, and the latter
was good. There Is a hearty, good-fellowship
In the choir that la reflected In the
young men's alnglng. a sympathy that
comes from Intimate association with
each other and supervision under a com
petent Instructor. At the present time,
the choir la one of the very best snd

Arabian nlghta? Not at all; though this
does deal with nocturnal personages
Jolly, roistering, clever and bully good
chums "Tha Midnight Sons."
Just aa soon as the curtain fails upon
the first act of the delightful comedy
things happen on the stage that would
make a steeple-Jack dizzy. Scarcely a
word Is spoken, but as swiftly as half a
hundred stage hands can lift, shove,
draw, carry and manipulate (which
means you don't exactly know what
they're doing, there is all set up in per
fect fstrrangement a cozy little theater,
called by name the Merrt Murray Thea
ter. If you must bather with the plot, you
shall know that Harry Noyes. one of the
"Midnight Sons." whose father is Sena
tor Noyes. has gone Into the show busi
ness to earn hl living, and. Incidentally,
or maybe chiefly, to make good with his
fiancee, Merrl Murray, "America's lend
ing chorus lady."
There Is no doubt about Harry's suc
cess. The place Is full that is, as full
as a big cast of principals and many
extra feople can make It.
The stage audience faces the real
audience. Between them Is the stage
wherein the Merrl Murray vaudevillians
"put It over." These performers play
mostly to the stage audience, so that the
effect obtained by the real audience is
that of looking on from behind the
scenes.
"Tha Midnight Sons" has to have at
least 60 supers In the first act. These are
all wearers, and some of ihem owners,
of evening clothes, regular dress sulta,
which means a steady Job, If you're any

cream of extra mn no women appearing

In the choruses, which most of them have
learned by this time.
Stage Manager Evans wants not only
men with dreps suits, but who have some
character In their faces. Of course, a
majority are students, but a white-haired
man or two. an extremely fat individual
or a man who resembles, at a safe dis
tance, some statesman or other, fits In
fine.
"The audience," however. Includes at
least 40 women and more than 100 men.
Among these are students of both sexes
and botll colleges colleges of learning
and colleges of oratory. Others- are
young people who work days and like

Bassl. In Zerola Mr. Dippel. has one of
the greatest voices heard in years. Mr.
Zerola's voice is of such surprising
quality that at times he fairly electri
fies ad audience by the power of his
high notes. On the lyric stage Zerola
Is a powerful and commanding figure.
In Amadeo Bassl. who created the part
of Johnson in "The Girl of the Golden
West," Mr. Dippel has another splendid
tenor. Bassl is an Italian lyric tenor
of the highest type. His voice is clear
and melodious, with splendid high
notes of beauty and quality. He sings
with keen intelligence, fine schooling
and method, and is the most versatile
end adaptable among the tenors under
Mr. Dlppel's regime. The representa
tive of France is Charles Dalmores, the
greatest living exponent of tha new
French school of singer-actors. Dal
mores has been Identified with some of
the most important productions that
have been made in America tn the last
five years. The representative of the
Emerald Isle Is young John McCor
mack. Mr. McCormack has a voice of
rare qualitv and exquisite method of

AD MEN TO BE EDUCATED
Excursion From East Planned to
Prove Development of AVcst.
An effort is being rr.ade by the pub
lishers of farm papers of the Pacific
Coast to secure an excursion from the
East to Portland of the managers of
the large advertising agencies of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cincinnati.
Detroit. Chicago and other cities. Phil
S. Bates Is managing the enterprlso
from the Portland end. It Is argued
that the advertising managers who
control a large proportion of the ad
vertising appropriations of Eastern
concerns do not know the resources of
the Pacific Coast region. Their con
ception of the field is limited.'and they
still have in mind the sparse settle
ment of 10 or 20 years ago.
Mr. Bates believes that if the adver
tising men can be informed of the re
markable growth now being made,
their appreciation of the situation will
redound greatly to thd country's ben
efit. It is proposed to employ two Pullman
cars and conduct the excursion while
the Rose Festival rates are effective,
in June.
