In this city. The Arlon is recognized as being pos sibly the oldest male voice society In this state. The exact date of the Orpheus con cert can only be stated at present as being "about the middle of February." as certain theatrical engagements booked In New York must first be got ut of the war. The Orpheus began rehearsals for this concert last Septem ber. In Ellers Hall, and rehearsals are till being held every Tuesday and Fri day night in the same hall under Mr. Wllder's direction. Excellent progress Js noted in attack, finish and ensemble work, and a fine concert is promised. Sirs. Bauer will sing several solos, and one solo with male voice accom paniment. It is hoped that arrangements may also me made whereby the gallery of the Heillg Theater, seating about 700 people, will he reserved without charge for the ote of Portland high school and (rammer school children above the age of IX years.

The Orpheus singers nope to have theae young students as their personal guests at the approach ing concert. The young men of the chorus are busily engaged securing names of associate members, through whose support It Is hoped the expenses of two concerts this season may be met. Good success Is being met with In se curing associate members. The third concert of the Portland Byropnony Orchestra, given last Sunday, was much enjoyed and again showed the high standard of excellence which tiaa been attained by this orchestra. It would have been better, however. If one or two lighter, better-known numbers had been played. The next concert will be given March S. with Harold Bayley as conductor. He Is a well-known musician and highly esteemed by his colleagues. The pro gramme, which, as usual. Is an attrac tive one. will Include Brahms' "Fourth Symphony In E Minor." This will be the first performance of that great work n Portland, and music lovers should avail themselves of the oppor tunity of hearing It. The attendance at the symphony con certs Is increasing steadily, a fact which Is a source of gratification to the orchestra men. showing as it does a growing appreciation on the part of the public of the faithful work and devotior to their art displayed by the Portland musicians.

Several of Madame Albanl s views as to singing mar be learned from this Interview with her. which appeared re cently In London Musical Opinion: "What should be the time limit of dally rocal ' practice?" "I prescribe three practices of SO minutes each, al ways with adequate Intervals of rest between. As the pupil gains proficien cy, there may be three practices dally of' half an hour each. No more." "At what would you estimate the amount of a prima donna's singing during the performance of a whole opera. If It were continuous?" "About three-quarters of an hour. But, of course, one is on the stage much longer that that." "How long does a properly trained voice last?" I asked, thinking of the frequent casea of premature loss of voice that one hears reported- "As long as one can breathe." said Mme. Albanl, smiling. "Of course, 'old age must make a difference. The top notes gradually go, the power over delicate gradations lessens and there Is a falling oft In vital energy. But there Is never any causa for the 'breaking down' of the voice If It be always properly used. Remember that Instances of misuse of the vocal organs must occur In all schools of singing even among the 'old Italians.'" , e Harold Vincent Mllllgan. whose home is In this city, gave a successful recital before a representative metro politan audience In the First Presby terian Church.
