EDITED BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIN,
MORE interest than usual is aroused
over the first concert of the sea
son of the Apollo Club male
chorus, "William H. Boyer. director,
which will take place at the Masonic
Temple auditorium. West Park and
Tamhill streets, probably on the evening-
of November 25, with George Wil
ber Reed, dramatic tenor, of Berlin,
Germany, soloist.
No singer who- has recently visited
this city has aroused more enthusiasm
and curiosity than Mr. Reed. For sev
eral years past he has been one of the
principal heroic tenors of grand opera
In Berlin, and he is also esteemed as a
favorite singer in high-class concert
work In London, England. Last Sum
mer Mr. Reed visited his relatives in
this city, and on that occasion sang in
formally before friends at the Univer
sity Club at the home of Mr. arid Mrs.
Henry Dickson, Talbot road, and at
the First Church of Christ. Scientist.
Still, It cannot be said that during his
recent visit Mr. Reed sang in public
recital, and dozens of singers regretted
they did not hear him sing songs in
public. Mr. Reed left immediately for
Europe to fill his professional engage
ments there, and a few days ago he
received a cable message from -John
Gill, president of the Apollo Club, ask
ing him to be the soloist at its ap
proaching concert. Mr. Reed, accepted
by cablegram.
The Apollo Club members have never
until now rehearsed the choruses se
lected for rendition so thoroughly. At
rehearsals lately several quartets have
been selected at random from the as
sembled singers, and told to sing the
music from start to finish. In conse
quence, chorus members have learned
the music as they never have before,
for fear that they, the choristers,
should suddenly be called on to sing
In a quartet at rehearsal. A new choral
finish, new degrees of nicety of expres
sion, have been achieved, and the net
vocal result will be better all around
at the concert.
The Coterie Muslcale will hold its
regular meeting Wednesday at 11
o'clock at the Oregon Hotel, and the
programmo will be: Contralto solo,
Mrs. Evolyn Hurley Denny; vocal duet.
Misses Eileen Yerex and Charlotte Ban
field; violin solo, Mrs. Cornelia Barker
Corse and Miss Pearl Sutherland, and
Miss Anita Trenchard. accompanists.
"The Coterie Musical desires," said a
member last night, "that the public
should be acquainted with the fact that
the concerts heretofore announced are
not all students' recitals, but will com
prise contributions by Portland's pro
fessional and finished amateur talent.
The interested public seems to be some
what under a misapprehension as to
this feature of the entertainments."
High honor as a composer of music
has been paid to Dr. Z. M. Parvin, of
this city. His composition, "Tossing
Flowers on the Billows," has been
adopted as its own by the National
convention of Women's Relief Corps,
Grand Army of the Republic, and will
be Issued as a part of its memorial
services. In memory of unknown sailors
and soldiers who lost their lives in the
Civil War. Mrs. Roslna Fouts Evans,
deputy department president of the
Women's Relief Corps, was at the re
cent National encampment at Chatta
nooga, Tenn., and made known the
merits of Dr. Parvln's musical compo
sition. The words are by Mrs. La
Moyne Raymond Clarke, of Sedgwick
Relief Corps No. 1, Salem. Or., and the
music has a beauty and a reverence
all its own.

Isolde," will be presented scenically and

by the best artists, will illuminate the

Twenty-five of the costume trunks
of Maggie Teyte, the prima donna so
prano of the Chicago-Philadelphia
Grand. Opera Company, were sent to
the public stores by the United States
customs officials on her arrival In the
Port of New York a few weeks ago,
because the wee opera singer had neg
lected to - mention in. her declaration
that in her make-up box was a 75-cent
tube of grease paint which had not
been opened. To begin her concert
tour on time. Miss Teyte was com
pelled to visit an importer and have
some French Importations altered to
fit her. While on her present trip she
was asKed to sing at a Y. M. C. A. on
her first Sunday afternoon out. Miss
Teyte said she- preferred to make an
address. Like a real minister, the
grand opera prima donna took a text
from James 3:15. "Behold, how great
a matter a little fire klndleth." and
with this text Miss Teyte advised the
young men not to despise the day of
small things and aptly illustrated her
sermon' with a recital of what the little
tube of grease paint did in the way of
damage to her concert tour.
Christine Miller, who is said to re
ceive the largest salary paid to a
church singe; in America, has been en
gaged as soloist with the Boston Sym

tenor of the National Opera Company,
of Canada, both in Montreal and on

ments prior to and after his opera
dates.
David and Clara Mannes, whose
sonata recitals for 'violin and piano
have become recognized features of the
musical season of New York,. Boston
and Chicago, are known as innovators
in the matter of programmes. Music
lovers are sure of hearing something
both new and worth while at a Mannes
recital, and this season the most talked
of novelty is the "Sonata Vlrginian
esque," by John Powell, formerly of
Richmond, Va., but now 'a permanent
resident of London, England. The new
Powell sonata, which will be played
from. the original manuscript. Includes
three distinct movements: "In the
quarters," "in the woods," and "at the
big house," and the finale Incorporates
an idealization of the "Virginia Reel."
The most appealing feature of this
truly American sonata is that all the
negro folk lore melody has been re
tained without any attempt to Euro
peanlze the subject matter.
The Music Students' Club met at
Eilers building last Thursday and the
life of Harrison Willard, one of the
greatest American composers of songs,

eration class lesson, gave out topics

Alexander Sweek and Misses Claire
Oakes and Maude Gesner were admitted
to membership. The Music Student'
Club concert will take lace early In
December.
Miss Beatrice Kirkup, lyric soprano,
'lately of Durham, England, was soloist
at the Clan Macleay Halloween cele
bration, and sang the well-known
Scotch song "There's a Wee Bit Land,"
and responded to an encore with "At
Dawning" (Cadman). Miss Kirkup was
presented in recital work recently by

entertained Ralph Mddjeski, pianist,
and C. E. Schauffler, violinist, of Chi
cago, at their home In Irvlngton re
cently, with an Informal muslcale. Mr.
Schauffler is a fine musician and did
much to contribute to the evening's en
tertainment with his violin playing.
Mrs. Ulfreda Heller Weinstein and
Robert Lovell Wilson sang several
charming selections, with Mr. Hutch
inson at the piano. Mr. Modjeskl and
Miss Fox played a number of piano se
lections, and Miss Henrietta Heppner
sang a number of Mrs. Heppner's own
compositions. What seemed tothe mu
sicians present to lend particular charm
to the occasion was that most of the
numbers were played and sung in- the
firelight glare. Mr. Schauffler turned
out all the lights, but for the faint
glow from the fireplace.
.

Grand Opera Association announces that

company that will furnish grand opera
tot Portland, in February. Portland
music lovers will be grateful for the
privilege of hearing a voice beyond all
question one of the greatest in the
world. Madame Fremstad is just now
entering the plentitude of her vocal
powers and each season adds to her fol
lowing. Her American career has been
one of growth and she has made her
self indispensable to Metropolitan au
diences. Madame Fremstad is both a
dramatic soprano and a contralto. Her
voice has such range that at different
times she has actually sung every fe
male part In "Die Walkure" and other
operas. Madame Fremstad Is one of
the many famous visiting artists of the
Canadian National Company, but her
release from the Metropolitan is for
such a limited time that only three Pa
cific Northwest cities will hear her
sing. .
Mrs. Gilbert Morley, mezzo-contralto,
of Butte, Mont., is being prepared In

and George Hotchklss Street, baritone.

waiian setting even more effectually
by the use of music. The arrangements
were practically completed last week

Mr. Morosco's New York representa
tives, and Immediately after Mr. Tully's

Portland, Opp. P. O.
where the play Is taken from, and. as
Mr. Tully has been a resident for over
six years of the islands, he naturally
will be a great help to the grand opera
maestro. Oliver Morosco, who pro
duced the play which the California
author wrote, believes that the produc
tion of the "Bird df Paradise" will not
only equal, but may outrival the "Girl
From the Golden West." No one has
been selected yet for the part of Luana,
which in its dramatic form is now
being played by Miss Lenore Ulrlch, but
it is rumored that Mary Garden, who
has seen the "Bird of Paradise," has
asked if she could create the title
role.
