The Paulist Choristers are now es tablished permanently in New Tork City, and sing each Sunday at the Church of St. Paul the Apostle. Their own music school home is at 3, River Bide Drive. New Tork City, where 35 choir boys live. This unique body of choristers was organized by Father Finn in Chicago, 14 years ago. Its reputation has been made international by its brilliant con certs throughout the United States as well as by its achievements in Paris and Rome. It has been transferred to New York, so that its field of activity may be broader. In connection with the choir-school, a school for choirmasters will be con ducted by Father Finn, where mu sicians from the entire country will be welcome students. The Paulist Choris ters have revived the medieval stand ard of choral excellence. By establish ing the present institute, the ideals of the Paulist Choristers will be perpet uated, and their achievements wonder fully amplified. The music ideals of Father Finn and his associates require endowment or equivalent support, and the assistance of music patrons is asked in this par ticular, to help continue the Paulist Choristers, TWO Ml"SIC PEOPLE ACTIVE IX Cl'RREXT EVENTS.

This orchestra came to this country on a warship, under the auspices of the French government Itself, and its tour will embrace more than 50 American cities. It is the first time in its nearly a century of existence that this or chestra has left Paris, and those who have an opportunity to hear it may count themselves fortunate. It means a uniquely delightful experience in the life of even the busiest concert-goers. October 15 the orchestra gave its opening concert in this country, at the Metropolitan opera-house, and it was a gratifying success. Both leader, M. Messager, and orchestra, "won out.' New York music critics unite in say ing that the orchestra is one of the foremost of the world. After playing "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the "Marseillaise," the orchestra proceeded to the regular programme 'of the evening, which con sisted of Berlioz overture to "Ben Influenza has postponed all the con certs and music recitals in this city, but It is stated that music instructors' and students are unusually busy.

Miss Avis Benton, pianist, has re turned from an extended trip through California. She made a number of suc cessful recital appearances, playing re cently under the auspices of the Los Angeles nomana Club for the benefit of the Red Cross. The Chicago Musical Leader, In re viewing a recent vocal appearance of Harold Hurlbut, tenor, in Idaho, says: "Harold Hurlbut, the well-known tenor and author of 'Voice Fundamentals,' be lieves in practicing what he preaches. His concert was another demonstration of his efficient work." Mrs.- E. T. Stotesbury, the wealthy Philadelphia woman and music patron wears wonderful diamonds. One even ing at a dinner party a guest turned to Mr. Stotesbury and asked: "Are those diamonds that Mrs. Stotesbury is wear. ing really genuine?" "No," answered the millionaire, "but the neck is." Philadelphia Cor. A new quartet of women's voices has been formed and will soon make its first public appearance. The personnel of the quartet is: First soprano, Mrs. Bernada Harry Henderson: second so prano. Miss Gertrude Hoeber; first con tralto, Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed; second contralto, Mrs. W. H.

Sergeant Wilbur Cathway. baritone. who is stationed at Camp Lewis, sang in this city recently during a patriotic celebration. Among his numbers were "In Flanders Fields" and "The Ameri cans Come" (Fay Foster). Sergeant Cathway's home is in New York City, where he has studied voice for several years. Miss Dorothy Cox accompanied Sergeant Cathway at the piano and proved to be a capable player. Dent Mowrey had planned to present Mrs. Ella Connell Jesse, a Portland pianist, in a. recital to a Seattle audi ence,' last week, but owing to the ban on public gatherings, this concert has been postpone. In bringing pianists of the two cities in touch with each others' work, Mr. Mowrey is fostering a feeling of fellow sympathy and under standing and stimulating interest in all that is best in mustc. s A Distinguished Line of Pianos In "straight" Pianos we carry a very comprehen sive line ; each "make" has been selected by us as the very best of its grade; the prices cover a wide range to accommodate every purse.

Another change in the personnel of the course is made necessary by the refusal of the British Government to issue passports to any English wrmen. thus barring Miss Parlow from making her American tour this season. I- re placing this number, Mr. Lambert, gen eral manager of the Ellison-White Musical Bureau, makes the announce ment that he will include the French Symphony Orchestra in the list of course attractions, thus giving the sea sot ticket holders the great privilege CI rearing mis magnificent body of musicians at a nominal price. This announcement makes the Port land course unique and exceptional among musical courses in this country. This orchestra is not on a commercial tour of the United States, as all pro ceeds over tne expenses will be given 10 a war rener fund. It is rather gift from the French government to the American people, designed to establish even more friendly the frlendlv ties already formed between France and the inited States. The orchestra is ex pected to reach this city toward the latter part of November. SYMPHONY FTND PROGRESSES. Public spirited citizens and musir- loving people of the city , have been generous witn ineir answer to the ap peal of the Portland Symphony Or chestra for support, but more funds must be subscribed in order that the success of the concerts this Winter be issured. "So far. more than $2000 of the $6000 symphony, Debussy's prelude French composers. "Each of these compositions received from M. Messager the honor due it," says the critic of the New York Sun. 'In M. Messager s leadership, and in the precise beauty which the Franck symphony and the Saint-Saens and all the rest took from under the orches tra's building up, there was always that resultant finish and lightness of execution without any sacrifice to depth which the Gallic touch con notes. M. Messager is a practiced, per haps somewhat academic leader; he had none of the spasmodic externalities which characterize some directors. He made his orchestra speak as one With out any of those violent and Bolshe vist exertions which sometimes enliven the orchestral chair. His orchestra fol lowed his exact leading, through the varied orchestration of the Berlioz as well as in the more tenuous Debussy and Dukas pieces, which place almost the entire burden on the strings and the woodwinds. As a group the orchestra seems to have at its fingers' ends all the technical skill and the feeling whereby the nuances of Debussy as well as the more somber melodies of Franck are brought home to the ear. The performance Mr. Messager led of Caesar Franck's glorious symphony will linger long in the memories of those who heard it. In particular the first movement was a magnificent achieve ment. Such was the finish and delicacy of the performance in. the Saint-Saens piece that its closing measures elicited cheers from the audience. Last Sunday night the orchestra was billed to play this programme at the Metropolitan.

How does music help to win the war? asks Miss Catherine Bamman, Eastern representative for the Ellison-White Musical Bureau, who had charge of the concert given last Sunday in Carnegie Hail, New york City, for the fourth liberty loan drive by the Allied Music Industries Association. A quota of S6, 000,000 was set and it went over the top with nearly 123,000.000. Who is there, after that, who does not agree with President Wilson, iji speaking of music in wartime, when he said: "The man who disparages music as being a luxury ana a non-essential Is doing the Nation, an injury. Louis E. Serr, a former vocal student of this city and who is now studying in Carnegie Hall. New York City, with Ed mund J. Meyer, who coached Chauncy Olcott and Theo Karle, was soloist for the liberty loan committee at the Mc- Alpine and Savoy hotels, where sub scriptions were received for 130.000 worth of bonds from the dinner guests in the palm room of the Savoy after Mr. Serr sang "May God Be With Our Boys Tonight." Madame Cam. lie Roe, daugh ter of the once-famous French violinist. Camille Urso, was Mr. Serr's accompa nist. Having been rejected from the service he has been singing for the re turned wounded soldiers in the hospi tals of New York. Mr. Serr has donated his services to the Red Cross Society and will sing all he can for the cause whenever called unon. . Joseph A. Tressi, musical director of the "You're in Love" company, is in this city due to the enforced idleness of the company because of the ban on pub lic assemblage. He is quite a noted voice specialist and instructor and his students number several big concert and opera stars, such as Madame Stra koch, soprano, and Payne Clarke, tenor, of the English Carl Rosa Opera Com pany. Mr. Tressi has been musical di rector for the Boston Opera Company, the Aborn Opera Company and the Sav age, Hammerstein. and Whiting opera companies. He was also director of the South Africa College of Music in Jo hannesburg, South Africa; professor of the Royal Academy of Music of London (England). An all-star cast of the Society of American Singers, New York City, took part recently in a successful revivar of the Gilbert & Sullivan old-time delight ful opera, "The Mikado," assisted by John Phillips, of the Opera Comique. . A ripple of delighted laughter ran through the audience when Miss Louise Allen, who sang the part of "Pittl Sing," found that some part of her back hair had tumbled down when she warbled "For He's Going to Marry Yum Yum." It is somewhat peculiar that about two years ago, when it was suggested to the Portland Opera Company to play "The Mikado," the majority of opinion was that the opera was "not good enough" and that "The Mikado" is not an "opera" but a "musical comedy." In Birmingham, Ala., where Paul Alt house, the leading American tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Company, re cently opened his concert season by singing to a sold-out house, an enter prising scribe Interviewed the tenor on the topic of the moment: "What effect will the war have on music?" He dis covered that, according to the Althouse experience, "the boys at the camps may whistle 'Over There and "Good-bye, Broadway," but they're strong for arias none the less and demand them almost invariably when an operatic artist ap pears for them." Mr. Althouse hap pened to hear just before his Birming- Afternoon of a faun, Saint-Saens fourth piano concerto, the symphonic piece from Caesar Franck's "Redemp tion." and Berlioz' overture, "Le Car naval Bomain."

The orchestra also is recognized as an important factor in the education and welfare of the community. For community good as well as for individ ual enjoyment, it should be given en couragement and support. The last rehearsal before each con cert will be given before the school children of the city. In order that they may be benefited by the educational and cultural advantages which are derived from hearing the orchestra. The man agement has announced that all men in uniforms will be admitted free to the concerts. Carl Denton will be the sole con ductor this year, and It is planned to ican troops. Miss Tuttle s friends will be pleased to know that this office sought her. Without any inquiry on her part, the Invitation came first from Paris and then from New lork. Among the committee of eight prominent art ists who pass on all the entertainment bureau appointments for service over seas are E. H. Sothern, Augustus Thomas, David Bispham and Walter Damrosch. The last two named have themselves recently returned from this Y. M. C. A. entertainment work in France. A late New York paper has this to say: "The Y. M. C. A. is carry ing hundreds of the best American per formers from place to place at great expense just to brighten the leisure hours of the troops."

The girls of one school in Oregon are giving up the prospect of Christmas presents that they may contribute to the united war work cause, representing the seven great organizations engaged in efforts on behalf of the American soldiers. . .. A letter telling that the girls of this particular school have written asking their parents to send no Christmas gifts, but to let them present the money value of Intended gifts in the coming drive, has reached John H. Rudd, director of the student division for the three states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. Mr. Rudd and his associates held conferences in Portland Friday to arrange for participation of college and academy students of the three states in the united drive, set for November 11-18. Miss Tirza Dinsdale, of Eugene, associate director for Oregon; Miss Eleanor Holgate, of Seattle, associate director for Washington, and Miss Alice Brown, of Seattle, associate director for Idaho, were in attendance. The ouota which the college students will seek to raise is 1100.000. , j ham concert that some members of the Foreign Legion were in the city and were to be guests at the liberty loan allied armies' dinner that very night. So on the way to his concert he stopped there long enough to sing one song, "The Americans Come." He made a de cided hit. There Is a certain hotel not far from one of New York's leading concert halls that for some reason or other ap peals particularly to musicians. In former seasons it has been frequented greatly by pianists, but this season it seems to be the violinists' retreat; and there, if one listened carefully, on neighboring floors could be heard the strains of the violinists. Max Rosen, Toscha Seidel and Eddy Brown. In fact, the first-named young violin won der occupied the rooms directly under neath his gifted fellow artist, Seidel; who is a very industrious worker. Con fined to his bed by an attack of the prevalent influenza. Max Rosen was forced to listen by the hour to his col league practicing. "When I get well," said Max, "I'll get even. I'll hire the room above him and play his whole pro gramme over until he cries for help." British papers lately received news of the death of Madame Liza Lehmann, the composer, known through the Eng lish-speaking world for her two "cycles" of songs, "In a Persian Gar- aen and "The Daisy Chain." Madame Lehmann was one of the few composers whose most popular music happens also to be their best. There is musicianship of a fairly strict kind in her setting of the Omar Khayyam quatrains in the "Persian Garden" song cycle, yet the flow and curve of the melody are sufficiently suave and con ventional to attract the ordinary ear. Mme. Lehmann's exploitation in these songs of the themes which are at the disposal of any writer of "eastern" music, was a skilful and thoroughly tasteiut exploitation. Because of the ban on public meet ings, the Monday Musical Club will be unable to enjoy the splendid programme prepared for Monday, November 4, and is using its enforced leisure by or ganizing a Red Cross unit. Mrs. L. H. Hansen, chairman, is arranging for 10 women, who are paid-up members of the Red Cross, to act as captains. They in turn, will select 10 members from the club to form their circles to work in the sphagnum moss and answer other calls for patriotic service. For the year s work, Mrs. Fred S. Kribs, social chairman, has selected the following named women to act as a permanent social committee: Mrs. J. C. Hare, Mrs. George Hotchkiss Street, Mrs. E. M. Baker, Mrs. E. E. Peterson, Mrs. Benjamin Trenkman, Mrs. Alice Shannon, Mrs. Charles Nor well and Mrs. Charles Cornell. Miss Mae Ross has accepted the chair manship of the student department. A reeent arrival in Portland is T. M. Kratt, who, this past Summer, has been in the Y. M. C. A. service as leader of camp singing and band work at Camp Sherman, where he often led about 5000 soldiers in the "camp sings." Mr. Kratt has now enlisted for band work In the regular Army and will be In Portland for a few months until called to the training camp for band leaders. While in this city he is continuing his musical work with John Claire Monteith and has entered with enthusiasm into sev eral new phases of his musical study. Mr. Kratt passed last year at the Cin cinnati Conservatory of Music, where he studied singing under Dr. Ferry Lulek, harmony and composition under Edgar Stillman Kelly and piano with Dr. Cecil Davis. He formerly attended McMinnville College and while there was manager of the glee club and col lege organist and composer of the col lege song. Authorities at Washington, D.

The man who wakes the bugler up. Thus runs a popular war ditty, of which the men In the Oregon state of ficers' training camp are fond. Some of them put the threat implied m tne sone into practice the other mnrninir "beating up" not only the hueler. but his bugle as well. Tt haDnened this way: When Rollie W. Watson, ex-sailor, real estate man of Tillamook, and now bugler for the machine gun company, bought a wrist watch in Tillamook, his jeweler ad vised him to scorn fancy timepieces and buy a well-known "tin" affair. He did. The other morning he woke just before 6, by the tin affair, and sounded first call." The men turned out as usual, and. all went well until someone discovered that the hour was 5. The hands of the faithful watch had stuck. The men in their wrath turned on the disturber of their peace. They smashed his bugle. And then they repented, for they discovered that Mr. Watson's bugle is 24 years old and one of his mnt cherished possessions. Mr. Wat son bought the bugle in Port Said, Egypt, in 1894, when he was serving as an apprentice in the Navy, and was bugler aboard the "Essex" on the Mediterranean cruise. The "boys" took up a collection and got a new bugle. Mr. Watson has suc ceeded in straightening out some of the kinks in his old one and thinks he will soon have it almost as good as new and none the worse for its early morning adventure. And still the men of the machine gun company sing as they march to mesa In the morning: "Some day I'm going to murder that bugler."
