Luclen E. Becker played th last of

of the church mentioned will be ren
ovated and enlarged during the Sum
mer and Mr. Becker's many friends
hope to sea him presiding next season

George Hotchklss Street, formerly a
singer and vocal teacher In Portland,
writes from Paris to say that he Is not or
at any time has been soloist in the quar
tet of the Rue de Berrl American Church
at Paris. "When I first came to Parts
I had several pupils of Seagle and De
Reszke to work with and for a few
weeks all went well." proceeds Mr.
Street. "Then the contralto soloist at
the American church ceased to receive
vocal Instruction from Mr. Seagle and
would only work wlvi) me. In two
weeks more another of Mr. Seagle's
pupils left him and one of D Reszke's
pupils left hlra and came to me. The
result' was that I was banished from
Mr. Seagle's fold and he refused to give
ma any more voice lessons. De Reszke
did the same. This has given me a
standing among teachers, standing
that I had not expected to win here for
years to come. . . . The people of
Portland should be glad to know fNat

Ing and coaching in voice at Berlin and i De Reszke as a vocal pupil, on account
of her having an exceptionally fine
voice, well schooled, and because of her
musiclanly work. De Reszkes vocal
class has been filled for soma time
past and he has refused to accept all
but the most talented pupils. I think
that Portlanders don't appreciate the
faot that there are as good singing
voices In that city as anywhere else
In the world. I don't know of any
other singer than Mrs. Belcher coming
to De Reszke, from the United States
or any other country with voice and
musical brain better developed. Of
course, there have been more wonder
ful voices here than Mrs. Belcher's,
but frankly speaking she has more
to work on now than any other seven
out of ten of the students over here.
I hope that when Mrs. Belcher returns
to Portland she will get the recognition
she deserves."

Caruso, the tenor, stands to lose

The Oregon Naval Militia Band mads
Its first public appearance In a concert
given In the hall of St. Francis'
Church. East Eleventh and Pine streets.
Tuesday night This band Is composed
of 23 members, all of whom are en
listed members of the Oregon Naval
Militia. It was organized last Fall by
Bandmaster John C Abbett who has
eonducted weekly rehearsals since the
band was formed. The programme
played by the band was largely com.
posed of marches and overtures ap
propriate to the naval organisation,
and was enthurtastlcally received by
the audience. The band was assisted
The orchestral music was perhaps a.e
good as any ever rendered in Wyom
ing. The soloist we suppose, was a
well-trained singer. Her enunciation.
If this term may be ueed, was good.
The voice, too, was of nice timber. Her
personal mannerism was not taking,
and at times the volume of tone might
be called terrific, and this all accom
panied by an excessive, not to say vul
gar display of fabric and the modiste's
art made her impression on the audi
ence rather moderate in degree. This,
of course. Is the Idea we gathered from
the situation."

There Is no doubt that a popular
comic song is a money-making affair,
says the London Standard. "Her Gold
en Hair Was Hanging Down Her Back"
earued $100,000 for the author and pub
lisher; "The Bogey Man" cleared about
half thai sum, and the pathetic bal
lad. "Break the News to Mother,"
brought In $20,000. About (200.000 was
the sum yielded In one year from
"Queen of My Heart" and the royalties
from such songs as "The Man Who
Broke the Bank of Monte Carlo," "The
Rowdy-Dowdy Boys" and "Ta-ra-ra-
boom-de-ay," which took the world by
storm, ran Into tens of thousands. Sir

Russian singers and Russian dancers
have been so much to the fore this
season that there is an added Interest
In the announcement that Portland Is to
hear the famous Russian Symphony
Orchestra, with Modest Altschuler con
ducting. ' The Russians are without a
peer In the presentation of their Na
tional music and Altschuler has
brought his organization to a point of
perfection that has won for it the
plaudits of Eastern audiences and crit
ics. Their second transcontinental tour
began March 1 and will not be con
cluded until the first part of June.
The entire organization, including Its
four Bplendld vocalists, will come to the
Pacific Northwest under the direction
of Lois Steers-Wynn Coman and will
play two magnificent programmes at
the Armory, Thursday afternoon and
evening. May 11. The present plan is
to present an all-Russian programme
for the evening with one of the great
'iscnaiKowsky symphonies on it, and a
good many of the famous Russian mas.
terpleces which have never been played
before In the West. The equipment of
the orchestra, instrumental-, is said to
be the most complete of any that has
ever been West The orchestra car
ries a number of rare musical lnstnt'
ments that have never before been
brought to this country, and Its Inter
pretations of the wild, passionate music
or the steppes will be a revelation. The
Russian Symphony Orchestra will be
pleasantly remembered as having been
in Portland with Ben Greet and It
played all the Incidental music for
Greet's Shakespearean productions. At
that time, however, Altschuler brousrht
only 80 of his men. The entire orches
tra, which will appear In May, carries
bo musicians and four soloists.
