Miss Casten is only 15 years old,
was born in New York and is a stu
dent of Franz Kneisel of the Kneisel

t the recital was so wonderful that
arrangements already are being made
for her reappearance this coming fall
at Kiemet temple. - In the meantime
she will join her tutor. Mr. Kneisel. in
passing the summer and working hard
musically. This young artist was dis
covered by Louis Germain and it was

interested themselves in Miss Casten s

COMING MUSIC EVENTS.
A musicale under the directorship of
Marie A. S. Soule. will be given Wednes
day night. June 2a, in Lincoln high
school auditorium and it ought to be
attractive to those interested in the
development of music, as performers
have been chosen to represent the
various grades from second and third
to the most difficult of pianoforte com
positions. Harold Moore, baritone, who
within the past year has had many
thrilling experiences on the battle fields
of France, will assist at this concert
as will also the Portland Etude club
orchestra. Mr. Moore is a veteran of
the Argonlne and other battles and was
seriously wounded in one of the late
drives. He possesses a rare and highly
trained voice and Portlanders who have
heard him sing since his return agree
that army life has served to add to
his voice both volume and dramatic
warmth. These annual musical events
are arranged by Miss Soule not as
graduation but are given In order
that the student-pianists may become
accustomed to public appearance and
also that the relatives and friends'may
watch the musical progress from year
to year.

It was an Inspiring, almost moving,
spectacle to be one of the audience at
the annual commencement of St Mary's
academy and college, held June 13 in
Lincoln High school auditorium. The
reason why the event stirred one's bet
ter feelings was the processional sing
ing of the sweetly tuned chorus of
white-eowned academy school girls,
about 100 in number. They marched in
two lines from the west auditorium
doors to the platform, singing a song
to "St Mary's." It was the einceritx in
the sweet, girlish voices that made the
sinsrinsr a personal message one of
loyalty to 60-year-old St Mary's acad
emy and a song of youth, gladness and
life. When the 100 girl singers stopped
singing as if directed by one head
they all made graceful courtesies, at
the same instant It was a privilege
to be one of that audience.
At the Chase School of Music. 1037
East Twenty-fourth street recently,
junior and intermediate students gave
a delightful programme to their friends,
selections consisting of readings, musi
cal poems, musical story and other
fundamental work, solos, ensemble

were Felicia Thompson, Pauline Ander

At the only recital to be given by

formers presented an interesting pro
gramme of violin and piano numbers in
the Lincoln high school auditorium last
Thursday night Each number showed
careful training in regard to tone and
technique. The stage presence of all

Misses Eda and Marjorle Trotter pre
sented a number of students ln piano
recital June 17, in the Lincoln high
school auditorium, and the programme
was interesting on account oi tne va
riety and piano numbers. The ensemble

has won recognition before as a capable
little musician with much technical
bility, which was best demonstrated
by the difficult "Capriccio" (Ganz) for
the left hand alone. Others who played
with much success are Flora Snider,
Pauline Alderman. Patsy Neilan and
Miss Helen Caples. The latter"s stn
dents. Mignon Johnston and Charlotte
Pfeuffer, also played. Miss Helen
Caples is already well known ln Port
land, and has appeared with musical
success in a number of previous recitals.
Her group consisted of the two sketches
"Prelude", and "Nocturne," from the
modern French group. "Trois Esquises,
by Aubert and the "Prelude" in G minor
(Rachmaninoff. Miss Mignon Is not yet
tall enough to reach the floor from a
piano bench, but that does not hinder
her one bit and when it is necessary
she stands up. In every one of her three
pieces, "March" and "Musette" (Bach-
Leefson) and "Slumber Song" (Gurlitt)
she played big tones with- sufficient
legato, and careful phrasing".
A musicale took place June 14 in the
ballroom of Mra Adolph Eilers' resi
dence when Mrs. Edith M. Smythe pre
sented Miss Thelma Balch, who played
from these composers: Chopin Les

talent. Mrs. Herbert Garr Reed

John Claire Monteith returned last
Wednesday from one of the most suc
cessful concert appearances of his busy
season. He was soloist at the alumni
banquet and programme at Monmouth,
at the Oregon State Normal school and
sang an interesting programme in
French and English. Mr. Monteith has
appeared in Monmouth on former oc

Mr. Monteith has been engaged as one
of the soloists at the commencement
