OREGON STAR MAKES SUCCESS. Miss Amparlto Farrar. soprano, daughter of the late Captain Lewis Farrar. of Company G, In what was the Oregon National Guard, made a hit when she sang recently in the leading role of "Treasure Trove." the Offen bach opera presented with success by the Bohemian Club, In the Biltmore. New York City. , Miss Farrar was born In this city, and when she was a little girl went with her parents to live in California. She was taken afterward by her mother to Europe, where she was coached in vocal work and grand opera, but at the outbreak of the big war she came home to America. New Year's Day Miss Farrar sang In Ottawa, Canada, at a big benefit to be given by the Daugh ters of the Empire, and January 4 she cang again in Ottawa at the Chateau Laurler, at a benefit- given under the patronage of the Duchess of Devon shire. Miss Farrar's New York recital took place In Aeolian Hall, January 18. with Richard Hageman at the piano. Her programme, which is unusual, con tained two groups of French songs. In which Debussy, Faure and Duparc are noted. Miss Farrar Is particularly happy In her Spanish songs. She grew up with th; language sounding In her ears, and hearing the operas sung in that lan guage. Her mother is of Spanish de scent. There have been several excel lent pianists in the family, but Ampar lto Farrar Is the only singer and the only one to enter the professional field. New York first heard her In "The Li lac Domino." The leading role fell to her on brief notice, and she was en thusiastically received during the run of the dainty light opera. Miss Farrar has sung for soldiers on many recent occasions. She appeared at (be Hippo drome In the big benefit for the New York Sun tobacco fund, and for the children's bazaar at Grand Centra Pal ace. Six sweaters and six mufflers have already gone "over there" as a result of her knitting, and she la Just starting in on another half dozen. PIAXO RECITAL TOMORROW. A unique feature of the piano Is the vanishing quality of its tone," says Leopold Uodowsky, piano star, who ap pears In recital at the public Audi torium tomorrow nignu ine tone, when produced. Is strongest, and grad ually dies away. This vanishing qual ity Is what gives it its peculiar charm. No other Instrument diminishes itself In tone. The voice can be kept up, swelled and diminished as long as there Is breath. The violin tone may be drawn as long as there is bow, while the orsjan tone may go on forever. In its tonal aspects the piano is a sym bol of life. At Its birth it begins to die." A sr Cyj-s-r -AOv rcr A" Kit A Nr.

Mothers Invited to Investigate II li il il o- Two Names Inseparably Linked With the Musical World At a recent concert in Washington City the critic of the Washington Post said: "Godowsky is indeed master of technique, his facility and clarity of tone, especially in his soft passages, are marvelous. And besides, he has a great deal to say in his playing, and he says it. Rarely does one hear, such beauty of tone it is vocal singing, liquid and the values he gives to the different voices are a revelation in harmonic effects. Especially delightful was the rich work of the left hand." Read what Godowsky says of the KNABE: "Your pianos are indeed incomparable. Tney " meet every wish of the most exacting artist, and to me your instrument realizes the highest ideals of your art." tlMwchandi jfc Merit OnJit
