Christ there lived in Persia a philoso
pher. and poet, whose name was Omar
Khayyam, who gave vent to tils pessi
mistic Ideas of life in the beautiful
poem. "The Rubalyat of Omar Khay
yam." In the latter, part of the cen
tury Just psst -thl poem as well aa Its
ethical' teachings was held in high re
pute by many literary people. As a re
sult there are a number of tranTSTation s.
literal and free, but the most beautiful
of all la the work of Kdward Fltxgerald.
Madame Lisa Lehmann was- one
among these "Omar" livers and in' the
year 19 she composed a. song cycle
called "In a Persian Garden." The set
ting of this musical composition was
selected from passages of the "Rubal
yat" and Is a rival of the poem In
beauty and popularity. Although these
passages are more or less miscella
neously aelocted from the most beauti
ful portiocs ut the poem, tbe cycle is
quite complete" and connected. ' The
opening chorus is taken from the first
stanxa. of the - Fitzgerald translation
ar.d reads:
Wake! For tbe sun who sccatterd into
. flight
The stara before, him from the field of
night. -Drives
night alone with him from HeaVn
and strikes
The Sultan's turret with'a shaft of Ught
This stanxa. In connection with the
tenor solo which follows It, proclaims
the virtue of punctuality In these
words:
Before the phantom of false morning died.
Methought a voice within the tsveru cried:
"When all the temple Is prepared within.
Why nods the droway worshiper outside?"
A little later the contralto ends a
beautiful solo with Utls same sentiment
when she - sings in - a . single phrase
"Waste not your hour!
Preceding this contralto number is a
chorus which could not be more mod
ernly pessimistic:
Come, fill the cup, and in the fire of Spring
your winter garment or repentance
The hird of time has but a little way
To fly and lo! the bird is on tbe wing.
This strain Is kept up throughout
the entire poem, with only a-few ex-
Iceptlonal passages, such as the tenor
and soprano duet:
A book of verses underneath the bough,
A lur of wine, a loaf of bread and thou
Beside me. singing in the wilderness
Ah. wilderness were Paradise enow!
Even in this lovely Bohemian tone
there is a shad of the inevitable "wil-
Iderness" which predominates in the
poem.
Presently comes a stanza wnicn
might be claimed by modern- 'New
Thought," a beautiful soprano aria of
great range and possibility:
I sent myself through the invisible.
Some secret of the afterlife to spell
And bye and bye my soul return'd to me
And answered: "I myself am Heavn' and
Hell:"
The beautiful translation by Fitzger
ald is adapted In a masterful way
which, though decidedly modern, at
times forsakes the psychological and
reverts to lovely aria. The tenor scene,
"Ah! Moon of My Delight." is an ex
quisite type of aria and "A Book of
Verses" is an example of the same
kind of ocmpositlon. . On the other
hand, the soprano soloist has a oilfr
oult task in imparting the doctrine of
the strictly modern aria: "I Sent My
Soul Through the Invisible." As a song
cyole there is little doubt that "In a
Persian Garden" Is one of most com
plete, difficult' and beautiful of any of
its kind.
The quartets are vocal gems and to
give the chorus members an opportu
nity to take part In the rendition the
quartet music will be sung by the cho
rus. Music Is a branch of the liberal edu
cation policy of Reed College. Last
September Mr. Barlow organized among
the student body a chorus of 60 voices
and at Christmas time so much prog
ress had been made that a fine concert
of folk songs was given. At Easter
the chorus rendered Gounod's "O Day
of Penitence." with a recital of Schu-;
berfs music, and Mr. Stahl told thai
story.
Multnomah Hotel ballroom was
crowded with appreciative listeners last
Wednesday night, on the occasion of a
recital given by. Mrs. Rose Coursen
Reed, when she presented Miss Chris
tine Denholm, colorature soprano, and
L. D. bllhousen, baritone, assisted by
Mrs. Sanderson Reed, colature soprano;
Miss Madeline Stone, mezso-contralto;
Miss Maurene Campbell, soprano: Oscar
Laurence Woodfln, baritone, and Treble
Clef Club, Portland Girls' Chorus and
Tuesday ' Afternoon Club." The piano
accompanists were: Miss Evelyn Ewart,
Miss Qeraldlne Coursen, Edgar Coursen.
Miss Denholm is a young singer who
has a good, sparkling, clear voice, and
the intelligence to use It to the best ad
vantage. She speaks her words well,
has a natural stage presence and is
composed and skillful In the finished
rendition of her songs. Mr. Gilhousen
has . a powerful and finely modulated
baritone voice that is a pleasure to
hear, and he too sings with finish and
good taste.' Miss Madeline Stone, Mrs.
Sanderson Reed, Mrs. Schmeer, Miss
Maurene Campbell and Mr. Woodfin
were all successful In their selections -everybody
being heartily applauded.
The duet by Miss Campbell and Mr.
Woodfin was from Messenger's light
opera, "Veronlque," and was dainty,
delicious and so well acted that these
two singers ought to make a specialty
of such- duets. - There is a demand for
such good, lively entertainment. The
principal choral number was "The
Blessed Damozel" (Debussy), solos by
Mrs. Sanderson Reed and. Miss Made
line Stone, and It received a splendid
rendition. It is difficult to sing, so
difficult that it has rarely been present
ed In recital in this country and Mrs.
Rose Coursen Reed is entitled AO much
credit for . her faithful work. The
three choruses of women's' voices sang
v.-ell and the singers made bright and
inspiring pictures. The personnel of the

Wednesday night for the Com
mencement Exercises of the North
Pacific Dental College, at the White
Temple, under the direction of J. W.
Belcher. The Wednesday Women's
Club sang well and in attack, crescen
does and decrescendoes, they showed
careful training and responded to every
beat as one voice. Arthur G. Har
baugh, tenor, and Stuart McGuire, bari
tone, were in good voice and sang
well. Mr. Harbaugh's voice has grown
in power and beauty of tone the past
j-6ar. and his singing of 'the difficult
Aria, - "Vestl la Guabba" from "Pagll
accl." was a treat. Mr. McGuire sang
with good tone and style. "The Tem
pest." by Hughes, and received a rous
ing encore. The College Glee Club
closed the programme, and did good
work. Mr. Belcher has 40 good voices
In the chorus and nect year expects to

credit to the college and city.
At tbe . recent concert given at the

singing of Mrs. Lulu Dahl Miller, con
tralto, was much admired, her numbers
being: "Tonight" (Zardo). and "The
Irish Love Song" (Lang). Mrs. Miller
also sang a duet with E. Maldwyn
Evans, baritone. "Stay. Sweet Swallow"
(Nevln), and the voices of the two
singers blended charmingly.

. Invite inspection of their display of Player Pianos
manufactured by the Aeolian Company and known as
; Pianola Player Pianos
The Aeolian Company are the originators
of tie Player Piano type p.f instrument
They are the largest manufacturer a
other make.- Not only have the Aeolian
Company been originators, but they have
brought the Player Piano to its present per-
of Player Pianos in the world.'The fection by constant and exclusive improve-
Pianola Player Piano is justly acknowledged ments. To produce a Piano with an interior
as the highest attainment in Player instru- player mechanism that will give enduring
ments -the STANDARD. Pianola Play- satisfaction is the very foundation of the im-
er Pianos are wholly different from any mense Aeolian Company business.
An Important Decision
. In years past we have carried several dif
ferent makes of Player Piarios--makes in
volving different principles makes which,
while meritorious, have never combined in
one instrument the many perfections which
are embodied in Pianola Player Pianos.
Hereafter we shall concentrate our Player
Piano business on this one great line ex-
clusively. No Player Piano purchaser can pos
sibly use the care andthe critical analysis in
selecting a Player Piano that it has been
within our power to exercise. No purchaser
has as much at stake as we have and
Sherman. Clay & Co. feel that they cannot
afford to carry , anything but the best the
STANDARD in its line.
Why Pianola Player Pianos Are the Standard
The famous group of Pianola Player
Pianos are the only instruments legally en
titled to be called Pianola Player Pianos,
for they are the only instruments which con-
tain the real "Pianola" action and the fol
lowing patented features: "The Metrostyle,"
which gives the exact interpretation of the
great-artists; "The : Themodist," which as
sures the proper emphasis of the melody ;
"The Automatic Sustaining Pedal," which
produces the touch . and tonal effects of a
master pianist, and scores of other features
found in no other instrument, but exclusively
the Pianola Player Pianos.
