Mlaa Bteeb'a extraordinary talents as a musician were discovered two years and a half a;o. by an eminent vocal teacher of London. William Shake speare, who. with hla wife, was vlsltln In California, and while there made tha acquaintance of Miss Steeb. When they returned home they took Miss Steeb wits them. She was Introduced Into ex-, clusfta axtirtlc circles In London, and everywhere met with a most cordial re ception, endearlns: herself to all by her demeanor and her phenomenal plano rlaytng. It was decided tt:at she should lve a concert In Berlin. For that pur pose ai traveled to Germany, carrying with her letters of Introduction to some of the dlstlna-uished families of Berlin, and the srood wishes of her newly-found friends In the English metropolis. Berlin Concert Succesa. She arrived in Berlin In November of ISO and arrangements were at once mad for a concert for December 10. Through her Introductions she was brouarht to the office of Charles Keefer. an American musician and critic, who waa then European manager, for the Journal Musical America, of New York, and teacher at the Stern Conservatory In Berlin. Recognising; her ability, he wrote a story for the press, and within 18 days his "find was the sensation of musical Europe. From Berlin Miss teeb Journeyed to Cologne, where at a concert she played before the greatest of all musical crit ics. Dr. Otto Neitiel. who praised her work. These performances were fol lowed by others throughout Germany. Returning to America Misa Steeb toured California and Mexico, playing; even times to packed houses in Los Angeles. Again last Winter Miss -Steeb turned towards Berlin, going there to play nine concertos at three concerts within two weeks, with the Phllhar- monlc orchestra of that city. Her pro grammes consisted of the Schumann A minor; Chopin F minor; Lisxt E flat major; Grieg A minor. Beethoven G major. Scharwenka F minor, composer conducting: Brahms D minor; Moxart D major, and the Tschalkowsky B flat minor concertoe. The Berlin crltlca ex pressed astonishment at this undertak ing and from all sides came words of praise. Accomplishments Are Many. It Is not only aa a pianist that Miss Steeb la known among her frlenda. The presa at Loa Angeles haa for yeare been telling of her accomplishments aa a photographer, as a linguist, as an ..................... " ' ( ' ' t i ' sini isrwJil Olga Steeb. Wsa Will Make Par, laad Her lie sac. . a astronomer and last, but not least, as an expert chess player, not to mention her daring; as a mountain climber. It la said that ahe knows nearly every foot of the mountains within 10 miles of Los Angeles. A tramp through the Swlsa mountains is recalled by her as one of her most delightful experiences. While Miss Steeb was a guest at the Shakespeare's In London, a slstter of the painter Sargent presented Mr. Shakespeare with a black pug doc. through which Miss Steeb was destined to become known in that city. She taught the dog- the following trick: By offering; the dog a cake and asking him if Whistler waa a great painter, the questioner will get a savage growl and a shake of the head for an answer. So It is with all othwr painters until the dog Is asked If Sargent Is the greatest painter, when he wll nod his head and proceed to take the. cake. Mr. Sargent waa highly delighted to find that even the dog knew be waa. a great artist. Although she had never traveled be fore since coming into prominence aa a great planlMte. Miss Steeb has trav eled over &0.000 miles on her concert tours, and while traveling, music is about the only thing In which she takes no Interest. Customs and the toposrraphy of the different countries, the changes In the heavens and the tract an lntereated observer, claim her attention. Her memory ia said to be marveloua, and her memorised repertoire contains more than 1100 compositions. Including the entire piano works of Bach, Weber, Schumann. Chopin and Brahms and the principal compositions of all of the great composers from "the 17th cen tury to the present time. It la said to be as large as the combined repertoire of any other three llvlnpr artists. Husband Is Music Critic. In June of this year Miss Steeb was married to Charles Keefer. who about a year ago resigned his Berlin position to become her manager. Owing to a desire to live on me nnuu vaoi, they chose Portland for their home. The establishment of a school of mu sic that will be a valuable addition to the educational Institutions of the state and to the West. Is their ambition. Mr. Keefer first earn Into prom inence while a critic In Berlin during which time he discovered a system of teaching harmony and composition which aimpllfled mattera greatly. This system which strikes at the bugbear, the complicated figuring--1 of the old achool, has been most extensively dis cussed In leading German. French, English and American music Journals. Many other valuable discoveries, par ticularly his harmonising of the old church modes, have tended to fix his name among the most promlAent mu sical theorists. 7 Nights Beginning Tonight BAROAIX PRICK MAT.

' -.i II- in. - ' ' " ' Magnitude of Work sad Press of Other Operas to Bo Produced Soon Cause of Action Paris Grand Opera Faces Largo Deficit This Season, Despite Government Aid. BY rMIUE FRANCES BAUER. THE latest Richard Strauss opera. "Der Rosenkavalier." whether light or heavy was evidently too heavy a load for F. C Whitney to carry, and like a sensible business man lie haa abandoned the work at a loss of about 150.000. Mr. Whitney waa much Impressed with the Idea of a comic opera by tha great composer of "Salome and Elektra." and when the work was hardly out of the band of the composer, be conceived the Idea of having It translated into English for presentation In London and aa Ameri can tour. Mr. Hammersteln and Mr. Oattl Casasxa both seemed perfectly willing to allow this distinction to fall to the theatrical manager, because both hat previous experiences with Straus and Lis operas and both will have a season .which will require all their energies. Mr. Whitney, too, haa another musi cal attraction, which- will take much time and no Inconsiderable amount of money. In Kubellk. for whom he la krranglng a monster tour, consequently. after going over the situation thor oughly he felt that It were better to lose 150.000 rather than 1 115.000, which It would have cost to produce the work properly, even after having decided not - to translate It. The work requires an orchestra of 100 pieces, a very large stsg and a very large company, and after a suc cess, which at best could only be re garded aa a moderate one In Europe, there seemed to be little chance for Per Rosenkavalier" In this country. Messager Works on Opera. From Paris comes the new that Andre Messager. musical conductor of the Grand Opera, la engaged In writ ing an opera upon 'Sister Beatrice," Maeterlinck's play, which haa bad something of a run In New York and which should furnish a book ef unusual possibilities. The play has been given sow and then through two sesson of the New Thester and It waa then un derstood that It Was originally. Intend ed for an opera. Messager has been connected with light opera rather than with music of the higher order, and Ills lsst work wss "Fortunlo." produced In 1)07 at the Opera Comlque. He Is also the composer of "Veronlque." which waa given under his direction some years ago In New Tork. It Is expected that the new opera will be produced at Nice at an early date. The deficit at the Paris Grand Opera this season will be very large, not withstanding the subsidy received from the government. The Opera Comlque. too. Is suffering from a lagging Inter est as It were. The latter house Is to receive an Increased subsidy of 131.000. but for this It will be compelled to produce 12 new French works, revive three classic operas which have not been heard for at least 20 years.. and In all there will be over 260 French work-. to be performed. It la not difficult to see that f conditions in other coun tries were so as to support their own composers even to slightest degree of what Is done In France, these coun tries might show results that would be Tltal In the long run. In Paris, as In America, the strain of increased expenses Is very great, and this Is noticeable especially In the sal aries of the chorus snd orchestra. The manner In which works have to be staged nowadays la a terrible strain on the houses which have only the same mount of sjhKldy and perhapa smaller audiences than formerly. The absence ef Rnoaud and Mary Garden this ses sion has proven a very hard blow for grand opera, and It has been Interest ing to note that In Europe as In Amer ica, the personality of the two art ists count for much at the box office. Geraldlne Farrar Corn to Paris. Geraldlne Farrar has been asked to Ins -Artane" In Paris next season, when she will appear for a number of weeks at the Opera Comlque. Much Interest was msntfested In her Inter pretation of this role In America and no one Is more anxious to see her do It In Pari than Taul Dukas. the com poser of the opera. Last season Miss Farrar Created a veritable sensation at the Opera Comlque in Tosca" and there was great curiosity and desire as well to see her "Madame Butterfly." but In all these houses there are poll tics of some sort, politics of which the general public never hears. Without saying so directly It Is un derstood that the role In which Miss ytrrtr haa won so much distinction Is one In which Mme. Carre, wife of the director of the Opera Comlque. shines, and to keep peace In the family. If not In the theater, the American singer waa denied the pleasure. But Paris is not alone In these little prima donna griefs; the artists who sing in New York have a few tales of wo them selves. For Instance, all those who have- een tha exquisite Tosca of Mme. Destlnn In London at Covent Garden, wonder mildly why New York opera-goers never have the chance to see her In this splendid role. It Is announced that In Boston there will be a whole array of Toscaa. a col lection such aa would aatonlsb tha world. Among those promised are Mme. Destlnn. Mme. Eames. Carmen-Meils. Lucille Marcel and Zina Broila. Miss Marcel and Mme, Brosta have never been heard In thla country. Zlmballst Will Perform. Josef Stransky. the new conductor of the New Tork Philharmonic orchestra. la expected to arrive in New Tork ear ly In October to begin rehearsal for the opening concerts to be given No vember 2 and S. Thursday evening and Friday afternoon. This will be the oc casion of the first appearance In Amer ica of Elfrera Zlmballst, the Kusslan violinist, who, like Elman. I a pupil of Leopold Auer. In addition to the regu- lar series of concert In New Tork. the : Philharmonic orchestra will make a tour of 25 concerts as far West aa 8t. ; Paul. Minn, and possibly further. I M. Wltmark Sons, publisher of Victor Herbert' light operas, have gone In more heavily this season. According to Information from Germany, Jay Wltmark haa secured for America and England the latest German success Themtdore." which had Its first per formance under the direction of Max Relnbardt. the famous Berlin manager. "Themldore" Is a comic opera composed by an Englishman named D.srby La Touche, but for American purposes the name will be changed to "La Com tesse Denlse." It Is said that New Tork will be "Relnhardt-mad" this season and that the great producer will come to this country to help In the staging of his ' "Oedlpua Rex." which has aroused Germany to an Intense pitch of excitement- , The Sophocles drama Is to be adapted by W. L. Courtney for Martin Harvey, who will appear In It in Covent Oar den January 14. and it will be given under the Shubert management In Feb ruary at the Manhattan. 8hubert also secured another Relnhardt production for America entitled "La Belle Helene." ' a comic opera now meeting with great success In Munich. While abroad Mr. Wltmark opened negotlatlona for the production In Ber lin of Victor Herbert' "Babe In Toy land" and "The Wlxard of the Nile," a couple of earlier works of the popular composer. Mr. Wltmark In looking the field over believed that Europe Is de cidedly tired of the regulation Viennese operetta and that the charming muslo of Herbert will come at the psychologi cal moment. Herbert Has New Comic Opera. Victor Herbert haa lust finished an other comic opera for which Harry B. Smith supplied the book. The book haa also had the co-operation of Fred de Gresac who In every day life I Mme. Victor Maurel. and la called 'The Enchantress." Kitty Gordon will cre ate the title role In October under the direction of Joseph M. Gatea. The story deal with a romance laid In a myth ical present-day kingdom, where the ruler become enamored of an opera alnger. Victor Herbert. In speaking of his new work, said recently that he waa always glad to correct wrong Impres sion among people who think they know how light operaa are written. The words are not." said Mr. Her bert, "fitted to the music: on the con trary, the book and the lyrics are writ ten first and the word are the guid ing factor to the music. The cre ation of any light opera In the case of an established composer la due to an order from some manager or star, and It I accompanied by a cash de posit. Between the composer and the librettist customs differ, but they usu ally work together long enough to have the same conception of tha spirit. "I do not consider that a light opera I beneath the dignity of a composer who haa higher aspirations, nor do I agree to the idea brought forward by aome people that It Is on the decline. I think that the scores written today are quite on a par. If not superior to most of the earlier light operas. I think the American Is as successful In this field as the composer of any other country, and 1 think that the American Is quite ready to meet the demand for high-class comic opera which ia upon us at the present time. Genuine light opera may be compared with the ro mantic, play of the dramatic stage, and It 1 certain that neither the one nor the other will ever go out of use." Mr. Herbert waa accredited with say ing that he believe hi new opera will be a masterpiece In every sense, and THREE BROTHERS OF DALLAS, OR., ARE MEMBERS 01 AL KADER TEMPLE, MYSTIC SHRINE.

Wagner's "Flying Dutchman" will be revived this season with Mme. Des tlnn and Herman Weill, the new basso, snd It Is not unlikely that a one-act opera entitled "Versiegelt," by Leo Blech. conductor of the Royal Opera of Berlin, will be given. The Chicago Grand Opera Company will reopen at the Auditorium, Novem ber 20, with "Samson and Lelllah," by Paint Saens. with Dalmores and Mme. Gervllle-Reache in the titular roles.

"Tris tan and Isolde" and "Die Walkuere" will also be given with Dalmores as Tristan and as Siegmund.
