Newspaper Page Text8 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, POUTliAXD, FEBRUARY 23, 1917. IT would be difficult to select a more pleasing- symphony programme than that to be played this afternoon at S o'clock at the Eleventh-Street Theater toy the Portland Symphony Orchestra, conducted by M. Christensen, and with Carl Denten as concertmaster. The first offering of the occasion will be Karl Goldmark's "Rustics Wed ding" symphony, a work of wonderful descriptive coloring and replete with alluring themes. It Is reg-arded as one of the most beautiful symphonic works ever written, and its presentation meets always with most enthusiastic ap proval. It will be played in its entirety In this city for the first time. The second half of the programme will prove also of exceptional Inter est, beginning ; with the magnificent overture to Wagner's dramatic opera "Rienzi." In which the Wagnerian style is given full sway. Following the overture will be "The Wand of Youth," from the suite "Music to a Child's Play." by the English composer Elgar, regarded as one of the foremost writers of the world today. This excerpt will be followed by "Sous les Tilleuls," from "Scnenes Alsaciennes (Massenet), and "Reve Apres le Bal" (Boustet), also a French composer. The closing num ber will be Liszt's famous "Les Pre ludes Symphonic Poems, No. 3." The orchestra is composed of about 60 members and is now in Its sixth season. PORTLAND OPERA SHOWS PROFIT. In neighboring cities along the Pa cific Coast, grand opera by home talent has been tried, but, while fine per formances of opera were enjoyed. In several cases the ventures proved un successful financially. It la reported that the last experiment along grand opera lines in Seattle resulted In a deficit of more than $1000. It is a pleasure, then, to Btate that the net profits on the recent perform ances of "Mignon" at the Eleventh Street Theater, January 22 and 24, by the Portland Opera Association, were $195.08. Principals, chorus, ballet and directors of tne association all served without salary with them It was a labor of love. The artistic and financial results are creditable to all concerned, principally to Jacob Kanzler, president of the as sociation, on whom a good deal of the responsibility rested. This time all business matters connected with these performances of -"Mignon" have been conducted in up-to-date business methods, and the bookkeeping and care i! -- U (TV v ; V i ' I ' I - I A If ; i V -O It'. it" ' .
