iu a favorite concert and church choir
singer before she went abroad for
study, and she has a large number of
friends who have followed the progress
of her career with pride and marked
enthusiasm, glad to know that a girl
born and educated In this city Is blos
soming to be a grand opera prima
donna.
A late number of the Musical Leader
and Concert Goer, of Chicago and New
Tork. had thl.i to say concerning Mrs.
Belcher, written by Its Paris corre
spondent: "Mrs. Kathleen Lawler
belcher was soloist at the Students'
Atelier Reunion, and her numbers
were: "Vool de Prtmavera' (Strauss),
Auf dem Wasser Zu Slngen' (Schu
bert). Ton Sourle (Catherine). 'Lex
Ftlles de Cadiz' (Dellbes). For encores
lira Belcher gave A Memory of Yes
terday (Zulaeta). 'MatUmata' (Leon
cavello). 'Away on the Hill' (Landon
Ronald), and 'A Little Winding Road'
(Ronald). I have already spoken of
this singer's work, having heard her
first at an audition at the atller of her
Instructor. Alfred Raehrens; but last
Sunday night Mrs. Belcher was In fine
voice, and although she has sung at
the students' meetings before, shows
that she Is a prime favorite with them,
as evidenced by their approval and ap
preciation of her last visit among them.
Mrs. Belcher's voice la of flutelike
quality, which she handles with per
fect ease and skill. Her coloratura
passages are exquisite, yet her voice
Is rounded off and also glvea good ef
fect In dramatic passages."
Mrs. Belcher was quite successful
with her artistic Interpretations of the
Debussy music. In Paris, and It will be
a rare pleasure to hear her Debussy
numbers at Tuesday night's clneert.
Her programme on that occasion
when she will be assisted by the Treble
Clef Club, to which society she be
longed when a resident of this city
will be: "Chanson de Clgales" (La

American concert music. Dr. Mllner

Since the rendition of the cantata
of 'Queen Esther.' a month ago, at Sun
nyslde Congregational Church," said E.
S. Miller, the dlrctor of the concert,
last night, "there have been a great
many requests for repetitions of the
concert and there is strong probability
that In the near future definite an
nouncements will be made. The popu
larity of the cantata lies In Its very
dramatic setting and the recital of a
deeply laid plot to destroy an op
pressed people, and their delivery. In-
creased Interest Is also given by the
Oriental costuming of principal parts
and chorus and the fact of the parts
being acted" Instead of their being aung.
At the last concert the play was
realistic enough to cause a four-year-old
boy to rush up to me and ask If
Haman had really been hanged."

manager Charles F. Berg. A novel fea
ture was the introduction of a Japan
ese song-cycle by Miss Carolyn Lowen
gart, whose beautiful lyrio voice was
heard for the flrst time since returning

voice of unusual sweetness and rare
quality and sings with artistic finish.
Mrs. Henry W. Metzger, dramatic so
prano, was In fine voice and was heard

The programme and concert com
mittees of the Apollo Club, Portland's
well-known male chorus organization,
William H. Boyer. conductor, think
that the programme the club members
will give at their concert at the Helllff
Theater next Monday night, April 29,
will be the best and most enjoyable In
the eight years of the club's history.
The concert will be given at the Hel
lig, because the Apollo Club's officers
believe the attraction of the music of
fered will require all the space of that
splendid concert hall, and especially
as H. W. Newton, of Spokane, Wash.,
has consented to be the tenor soloist.
Everybody who heard Mr. Newton
two years ago when In his first appear
ance before a Portland audience, he
sang so wonderfully. Is anticipating
a rare delight In his appearance at the
coming concert. Mr. Newton possesses
a really splendid tenor voice, and he is
very successful In his Interpretation of
music, from the most delicate and ten
der to the powerful, thrilling composi
tions that require Immense volume and
fire. His solo numbers will occupy a
generous share of the programme, and
are of such variety and scope that the
gramme: Chorus. "Tis Morn" (Gelbel),
and "O Hush Thee My Baby" (Sulli
van); trio, "Serenade" (Herbert), and
"Serenade" (Wldor), violin, cello and

age, but with her captain lying dead
upon the deck. The dramatic qualities
of the poem are heightened by the
; music which sets out in splendid con
trast the various moods of the poem.
Though somber in tone, this number is
thrilling and powerful. In striking con
; trast is the "Plainsman's Song." a
1 breezy galloping song of the bold rider
! of the plains. The most pretentious
! number is Dudley Buck's cantata "The
' Nun of Nldaros." The words are taken

vein. Other members not heard before

It is noteworthy that In the pro

Calvary Presbyterian Church Tuesday
night there appears a group of songs
by Harold Vincent Mllllgan, who was
formerly organist of this church. His
many friends In Portland will be glad
to know of bis success as a composer
of music. Mr. Mllllgan is now organ
