ber 15 and with additional perform
ances, many engagements in cities had
to be canceled. Her fame as a singer
and as an artist has become known
throughout the civilized world. It is
considered doubtful if any woman
singer of modern times is more fully
equipped with voice and intellect than
this arreat Bohemian soprano.
Not only on her new tour will she
sing "arias from the famous operas,
but will introduce many novel songs
to the concert stage. She will sing in
six languages, Madame Destlnn
reached America October 20, after
spending her Summer at her home Jn
Prague, where shi did a great deal to
help relieve the sufferers in that sec
tion. Madame Destinn is said to pos
sess a great dramatic soprano voice of
tremendous power.
NOW that the Apollo Club male
chorus concert, at the Heilig The
ater. October 26, with Madame
Julia Claussen, mezzo-contralto, as solo
ist, is one of the successful events that
were, it is in order to review friendly
suggestions made by people who were
in the audience on that occasion.
One or two of these suggestions may
be for the betterment of the Apollo
Club and then again possibly not.
One person thought that it was a
mistake to place two pianos on the
stage and in front of the chorus, argu
ing that when the piano accompani
ments were played, the sound waves
from the pianos first reached the ears
of auditors, making it difficult to hear
the chorus singing. One man said he
could not hear the first tenors when
the last chorus was being sung, on ac
count of the strong piano accompani
ment. It seems it was necessary to place
both pianos on the stage so that both
piano accompanists could be in front
and watch the directions of the conduc
tor, "William H. Boyer. If both piano
accompanists and pianos had been
placed on the floor of the theater, as
has been the custom, the former would
have been behind the conductor, and
therefore in a bad position to watch
the baton.
Two women patrons of the concert
wondered, after choral selections were
tiling and applause became prolonged,
why "funny" numbers were not sung
for "encores The reason is that al
though the Apollo Club membership
does cherish the friendly appreciation
of audiences, the management does not
-wish to sing extra and "funny" num
bers as "encores," as it is rather desired
the chorus sing music that has already
been rehearsed. "When applause is con
tinued, the practice of the Apollo Club
is to repeat a portion of the music that
lias just been sung.
A Mount Tabor citizen said that he
couldn't hear Madam Claussen sing at
the latter portion of the rendition of
Kerns "The Minstrel, and wondered
why she "didn't sing out." The reason
for this is amusing to those who
studied the music. The solo for so
prano occurs in the middle of the selec
tion, and according to the score, the
soprano should not sing any more, once
this solo in question is concluded.
Madam Claussen could have obeyed the
music score by standing mute before
the audience when the chorus was
singing the latter portion of the selec
tion, but this would have been awk
ward. So, to relieve the situation, at
the music pages indicated, she sang
with the first tenors. That is all there
is to it.
Any suggestions for the betterment
of the Apollo Club should be made In
writing and sent to the headquarters
of the club at the Tulford building,
Tenth and Morrison streets.
Both Edgar K. Coursen and A illiam
C. McCulloch played admirably as piano
accompanists. Madam Claussen thanked
Mr. Coursen for so artistically play
ing the piano accompaniments to her
pongs, and as a mark of her esteem
Madam Claussen presented Mr. Coursen
with a beautiful diamond sttck-pin.
She also sent this message to him:
M v rrar Mr. Courser : Herewith only
simple lit; le pin. but I wish that uu would
remember how much I appreciate your art
and the Apollo Club. With all good wishes
lor you and the ciuo.
sincerely yours.
JULIA CLAUSSEN.
Verily, a first class, sympathetic.
competent and technically correct piano
accompanist as Mr. Coursen is, must
be esteemed as a musical treasure. Be

solo, he raised the "key" for the chorus.

BISPHAM DISCUSSES VOICE.
David Bispham, for many years a
leading and distinguished figure on the
operatic and concert stage, wnose work
as an artist as well as a propagandist
has materially contributed to the prog
ress of musical knowledge and culture
in this country, says: "I firmly believe
that the voices of today are the equal
of the voices of former years. But to
day there is a wider field for the artist,
and naturally the demands are greater,
and any minor defect is markedly no
ticeable. In intellectual development,
which perhaps is best seen in the Ger
man artist, there has certainly been
advancement. To say that the voices
of today are not up to the former
standard is absurd. I don't believe that
any generation has ever produced a
finer voice than that of Caruso. I think
he Is oie of the greatest tenors the
world has ever known, and just as
great an artist, too. Of course, there
are always those people who must give
some dissenting opinion, otherwise
they would be unhappy; but they
should remain unnoticed.
"The vocal teachers? Ah! there we
comeato one of the graver questions.
The teacher of singing should be an
intelligent exponent of trie knowledge
whicn he endeavors to pass on to oth
ers, and I cannot understand why peo
ple will not come to realization of
this. Take as an example the teacher
of the violin. He must be able to play
his instrument and, what is more im
portant, if he is a good musician, he
will not accept students who show no
talent, and will not. in such a case, en
courage them to think they can suc
ceed, as singing teachers so often do
with their untalented students. Being
a good musician, he naturally knows
the literature of his art, which is more
than the average teacher of the voice
knows. The violin teacher can play
his instrument, whereas many singing
teachers cannot sing and use th
voice."
Mr. Bispham's versatility is not un
known to the huge public that has held
him in distinct admiration for so many
years. He is now en tour as Beethoven
in "Adelaide," one of the greatest music
dramas ever written, supported by a
fine company of actor-singers, which
will be followed by a one-act comedy.

DESTI'9 TOl'H STARTS SOON.
Emmy Destinn. who has long been
recognized as the possessor of one of
the finest soprano voices ever heard
on the stage of the Metropolitan
Opera-House. where she has sung for
the last seven years, will be heard in
the Springfield (Mass.) Auditorium De.

Madame Destinn remarked last Feo

Miss Felice Dyne, the young grand
opera star soprano, whose relatives In

Dumb Girl." with the Boston Grand
Opera Company. Anna' Pavlowa ap'
pears with the company in conjunction
with the Pavlowa Ballet Ruses.
The Louisville (Ky.) Herald news
paper recently said: "In Miss Lyne we
have a youthful, charming, dainty and
fascinating Elvira. Competent as an
actress; modest in ensemble work
knowing precisely her exact range and
place. It is not a big voice. But it is a
voice of remarkable purity, flexible,
liquid and of unerring pitch. It is a
coloratura soprano of that good old
school that gave u. Patti and Tetrazzini.
It adapts itself admirably to the florid
score. It never tires. It is never
shrill, and it is never forced. It has
been many a long day since Louisville
listened, and with so much pleasure, to
so admirable and cultivated a young
singer."
The Toronto (Canada) World news
paper says: "Felice Lyne, as Elvira, the
betrothed of Alfonso, established her
self in her opening number as a colora
ture of the very highest rank. She is
an artist who can be classed with none
lower than Melba and Tetrazzini."
Miss Lyne sang last Monday night
in the same Auber opera at the Man
hattan Opera-house, New York City.

PHILOMATH. Or., Oct. 23. Major
W. S. Walker, of Bonner's Ferry,
Idaho, to whom stiecial hnnnr wan
recently paid as the "grand old citi
zen" of that place, has been honored
also in Philomath because of his for
mer association with Philomath Col
lege. Major Walker was president of
this institution when It was the second
largest college in Oregon.
He nad previously served with honor
in the Civil War with valor and after
wards received recognition for intro
ducing military tactics in various
schools of the Northwest.
As a pastime he does oil painting.
Recently he presented to Philomath
College two large portraits, one of
Bishop N. Castle, senior bishop of the
united tiretnren cnurch, who resides
in Philomath; the other of Professor
Henry Sheak. also of this city, who
has been connected with Philomath
College for more than 40 years. Dur
ing the time that Major Walker was
chief executive of Philomath College
the institution enjoyed a wide client
age, drawing students from Oregon,
Washington, Idaho. Montana and Cali
fornia. Nearly 200 students were ill
attendance here and Willamette Uni
versity .alone had a larger enrollment
among the colleges of Oregon. During
the '70s and "80s Major Walker was
widely recognized as an educator. He
could speak 13 languages and could
read as many more. He was con
stantly in demand as a public speaker
and lecturer.
On leaving Oregon Major Walker
organized a military academy at Latah,
Idaho, which later became the state
college After this he entered the
mercantile business, in which he pros
pered, and retired to a country place
at Bonner's Ferry, Idaho. Here, - in
a picturesque spot overlooking Koote
nai County, he erected a cottage with
a conservatory and studio, in which he
can follow his favorite pastime. The
conservatory forms a section of the
main parlor, filled with a wealth of
shrubs, vines and flowers, bright and
cheerful the whole year through. In
this charming home people from all
parts are entertained by Major and Mrs.
Walker after a manner which, once
enjoyed, is never forgotten.
