MUSICIANS of all rationalities and
opinions, and also the general
" public, will surely unite in ex
Pression9 ot sympathy for Igrnaco
Paderewkl. the great Polish pianist
and composer.
Once there were none so great and
proud In music as Padereweki. Today
It ia reported that the war in Galicia
lias not only ruined his magnificent
home and estate, but that his private
fortune and the savings of a lifetime
lave suffered.
When Paderewskl last appeared in
Portland anonymous and abusive let
ters had been sent ahead of him by
enemies he had made, and the advance
sale of seats was so discouraging that
his proposed recital was abandoned.
The second last time Paderewski vis
ited this city be was royally greeted
toy a large and enthusiastic crowd, and
even, then his enemy critics asserted
that he had developed into a "piano
pounder."
Let us forget this.
Paderewski needs friends now.
He came to this country recently to
raise funds for war-stricken Polish
sufferers in Galicia and elsewhere, but
these appeals were not largely suc
cessful It was then suggested that
Paderewski would secure a better fi
nancial response if he would only play
again in piano recitals. It was noticed,
however, that Paderewski did not re
spond favorably, and Madame Paderew
ski said that her husband was too
nervous to play in public.
.What is the lesson here?
Musicians are notoriously poor busi
ness people and usually fail to look
ahead financially. They spend, some
times, all they earn keeping up ap
pearances. Old age and business reverses come.
Don't be a grasping miser, but, as a
tnuelcian, husband your resources.
Foresight might have suggested to
Paderewski the placing of some of his
funds in securities In the United States
and other countries, as more than one
member of European royalty is reputed
to have done. The late Queen Victoria
was an investor in American city real
estate. The late King Edward placed
large sums into American and Cana
dian railroad stocks. Caruso, Scottl
and other grand opera stars, while
owning splendid houses in Italy, are
known to have diversified their invest
ments. This is written by a friend of
Paderewskl's.
MELBA AS AUCTIONEER..
The Melbourne, Australia, Argus of
, April 28 devotes a column and a half
to an account of the remarkable con
cert Madame Melba gave in the Town
Hall of Melbourne the previous night,
in aid of Belgium relief. The total re
fiptpts of this concert were $30,500.
Half of this represented box office re
ceipts and the other half came from
the auction sale of flags of the differ
ent allied countries.
Madame Melba, who is to arrive In
America the end of August for an ex
tended concert tour under the direction
of C. A. Kills, of Boston, has been de
voting most of her time the past Win
ter to arranging relief concerts In Aus
tralia, in each of which she took the
most important part. Altogether these
concerts have brought to, the Red Cross
and other worthy objects nearly 'J100,
000 and- the great singer is more the
Idol of Australia than ever before.
At the concert in Melbourne, after
the programme was over Madame Mel
ba herself auctioned off the various
flass. According to the Argus a Rus
sian naval ensign went for 25 guineas
($125). The next flag sold was that of
Poland, and before selling it Madame
Melba read a telegram she had just
received from Paderewski. asking for
help for his countrymen. This Hag sold
or 1000. Two Australian flags

CARUSO'S CROWN MAY BE WORN.
Is It possible that . the successor of
the great Enrico Caruso as star tenor at
the Metropolitan Opera-house. New
York City, is to be G. Martinelli?
For some years the management of
the Metropolitan Opera-house has been
looking for a successor to Caruso that
is. for the man who can Satisfy the
New York public in tenor parts when
Caruso has retired. It is a question of
years perhaps . many, perhaps few.
Caruso's voice will break down, his
health will be impaired, he will decide
to retire or he will die. The opera
goers of .today are firmly convinced
that, without Caruso, an opera season
would be a failure. Of course this is
not so; of course there must be a suc
cessor to Caruso, as there was to Jean
de Reszke, It may be that this suc-
cessor is now in training at the Metro
politan Opera-house. At least, the sing
ing of Martinelli, the second tenor of
the company this season, gives promise
tnai, ii tie continues to work and ad
vance in his art as he has done in the
past two years, he will be as popular in
time as Caruso has ever been.
Martinelli came to the operatic stage
by way of the band just as Charles
uaimorea, the Ftench tenor, did. Mar
tinelli used to blow a clarinet. When
he went for his military service he was
put in the military band. The band
master, who was a good musician, heard
the young clarionet player singing
about the barracks and spoke to him
about his voice. On his advice, the
young Martinelli began taking lessons
in singing, and he quickly developed a
true tenor or fine, manly Quality.
Last year Martinelli came to the
Metropolitan Opera-house under en
gagement to sing some of the Caruso
roles. This year he returned and. at
his first appearance, the improvement
in his singing was noticeable. It has
improved ever since, showing that the
singer is taking his career seriously
and working hard all the time. The
Metropolitan audiences are displaying a
great liking for him. His evident sin
cerity, his simplicity, his earnestness,
as well as the splendid quality of his
voice, have made many friends for him.
So. Mr. Gatti Casazza is to be congratu
lated in having made a remarkable
"find" for the opera-house.
Martinelli will not return to Italy
this Summer, but will spend his vaca
tion on Long Island, N. Y., where he
has taken a house.
SPEED OF THE PIANIST.
Astonishing statistics have been
gathered with reference to the amount
of work accomplished by the brain and
nerves in piano playing, says the Inde
pendent. A pianist, in View of the present
state of pianoforte playing, has to cul
tivate the eye to see about 1500 signs
in one minute, the fingers to make
about 2000 movements, and the brain
to receive and understand separately
the 1500 signs while it issues 2000
orders. In playing Weber's "Moto Per
petuo" a pianist has to read 6441 notes
In a little under four minutes. This is
about 19 per second; but an eye can
receive only about ten consecutive im
pressions per second, so that it is evi
dent that In very rapid music a ilayer
does not see each note singly, but
rather sees them in groups, probably a
bar or more at one vision.
In Chopin's "Etude In E Minor" in
the second set) the speed of reading is
still greater, since it is necessary to
read S960 signs in two minutes and a
half, which is equivalent to about 26
notes per second.
TWO STUDENTS GET FALSI.
Miss Vera Kitchen, of 1028 East
Twelfth street North, and Albert Creitz,
of South Portland, won, respectively,
first choice in piano and violin at the
examination held June 5. at Eilers Hall,
under the auspices of the National Fed
eration of Music Clubs. Miss Kitchen
and Mr. Creitz will represent Oregon
in the contest for the first music honor
in the Western District, to be held in
Los Angeles, CaL, June 15, and In case
they win the district contest, they will
compete in the National contest to be
held in Los Angeles, June 24. Miss
Kitchen is a piano student with Will
lam R. Boone.
The examiners were: L. K. Becker,
William H. Boyer, Waldemar Lind, Carl
Denton and J. L. Wallin. Mrs. II. A. '
Heffner represented the National Fed
eration of Music Clubs.
MUSXO NOTES.
"Come and Be a Fetal of Our Rose,"
words and music by H. Dudley Young,
M. D.. has been received for review.
This song is designed primarily for
the Portland Rose Festival of 1915 and
other succeeding festivals. The words
are cheerful and well chosen, and the
music tuneful, catchy, and within the
vocal possibilities of the average sing
er, the highest note being E flat, above
middle C. The refrain has the haunt
ing, charm of a bugle call. The song
was sung on many occasions last week
and proved to be deservedly popular
with the crowds.
A final recital of the, season is being
prepared by J. William' Belcher, which
will take place the latter' part of this
month. This season's and advanced
students will be presented.' A group
of numbers will be rendered by the
Wednesday Women's Chorus.
Miss Laura Shay and Miss Irene
Bloch sang under the direction of Mrs.
Edward Alden Beals at one of. the
indoor musicales of the Rose Festival
events held at the Portland Hotel last
Thursday night, with orchestral ac
companiment led by Waldemar Lind.
As it was the girls' first experience
with an orchestra accompanying and
as they only rehearsed their songs
once, it is considered they did remark
ably well. Miss Laura Shay sang the
"Jewel" song from "Faust," respond
ing to an encore with "Just a Little
Love, a Little Kiss." Other songs were
called for, but she had no other with
orchestral accompaniment. " Miss Irene
Bloch sang the "Flowei" song from
"Faust" and asvn encore "When Irish
Eyes Are Smiling," a repetition of the
last-named being demanded. Miss Shay,
while only 16 years old, has a beautiful
lyric soprano voice, with a range to
C in' alt well developed.- Miss Bloch
has a rich and sympathetic dramatic
soprano.
Junior students of Miss Freda E. H.
Leitner were presented in recital last
Tuesday night, and those who took
part were: Florence Dyke, Dorothy
Hill, Mayte Lawrence, Madolyn Walk
er, Dorothy Fisher, Annetta Lawrence,
Dorothea Kester, Maxine Walker, Ber
tha Leitner, Theodore Kester, ollls
Sutherland and Leland Duel. ' Miss
Emma Leitner assisted the students
with two vocal numbers, "The Spring
Has Come" and "Mother Machree." The
"Goodnight Song," by Dorothy Hill,
was also much enjoyed. .
These officers were selected at the
annual election of the Musicians' Club,
held last Monday at the Portland Ho
tel: Waldemar Lind. president; George
Hotchkiss Street. vice-president;
Charles O.Hargrave, secretary; Joseph
A. Finley, treasurer. The club is now
entering its fourth year of existence
and, with the new officers, a vigor
ous and prosperous year is looked for
ward to.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra
reached Boston May 31 from its trip
to San Francisco, where it had given
a series of 13 concerts at the Panama
Pacific International Exposition. The
trip to San Francisco and return was
made without a single mishap, and,
taking it all in all. it was one of the
most successful musical ventures ever
attempted in this country. A total
number of 46,000 people paid admls
stone to hear the 13 concerts in Fes
tival Hall. Artistically, the concerts
were a veritable triumph for the great
orchestra, and they will stand out as
a most memorable feature of the beau
tiful exposition. Thirteen symphony
concerts on 13 successive days, with
"stiff" programmes, will test the en
thusiasm of the most' musical public,
but San Franclseo and its visitors
patronized them all with ever-Increasing
enthusiasm. The next trip of the
orchestra will be in the first week of
October when it goes to Omaha. Dr.
Muck,, the conductor, will pass the
month of June visiting notable scenic
points of the Rocky Mountains.

Fritz Kreisler, the great Austrian
violinist, who begins another long tour
of the country in September, still lin
gers In and about New York, and is
likely to do so throughout the Sum
mer. Although he has had a long and
arduous tour, which ended only last
month, he is of a nature that cannot
be idle, and he is hard at work. He
is doing much composing, working at
some music that he has long had in
mind, and doubtless some of the re
sults of his labors will be heard next
Winter at his concerts. He will not
yet admit that he is undertaking any
works in the larger form, but it Is well
known to his friends that he has
sketched symphonic works.
Geraldlne" Farrar, the fascinating
American singer, who is to make a
long concert tour next season, is at her
home in New York, ostensibly resting,
but, as a matter of fact, hard a work
preparing her programmes for the tour.
When she is not at her piano, it seems
as if she were entertaining reporters
and magazine writers, for no woman
in the world is so sought after by them
as she. She is always "good copy."
-She has always something to say worth
listening to and she always says it
well. Later in the month Miss Farrar
oes to Los Angeles, where is is to be
initiated into the mysteries of the mov
ing picture. Miss Farrar will doubt
less go to San Francisco before her
return, and while her plans are not
definitely settled for the Summer, It
is likely that she will spend a part of
It, at least, in the Adlrondacks.
Thomas J. .Hill, pianist and singer,
of Prineville," is spending the Summer
in Portland, coaching with Lucien E.
Becker and studying singing with John
Claire Montieth. Mr. Hill is an East
ern man, who has studied piano since
he was a child of 6. He is a serioue
musician and has had the advantage
of work under many able teachers.
