She is favorably known also for the gracefulness and beauty of her colora ture singring. Mrs. Van is an experienced and talented singer who has won laurels in concert work and other professional activities in th east. Mr. Thomas has a fine baritone voice and is a master of light comedy.

NAMED, "What would you say if yeu were suddenly asked to name the oldest tune in the world? The Boston Herald thinks that it is the air sung commonly to "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," a bacchanalian ditty. "The air to which is sung the words, "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," says the Herald, "can be traced in distant Asia and Africa, as well as in most European countries, has an interesting history. "Its oriprin is lost in antiquity, but it is supposed to have been learned from the ancient Babylonians by the Egyptians, who popularized it in Africa ard Asia Minor Arabs still sing it. "The Crusader caught the tune from their Saracen enemies, and sung it un der the walls of Jerusalem. The air was ultimately carried into Europe, where it survived, in various forms. among the folk-songs of the different nations. "In 1709, after their defeat at Mal plaquot, the French, following a false rumor of the duke of Marlborough's death in battle, composed a satiric la ment, "Mabrook Is Off to the War," detailing the supposed death and burial of the English general, and the ascen sion of his soul to heaven. "The words were sung to the old, popular air, whose lilting rhythm lent Itself to the swing of the 22 verses. "Like most topical songs, this one was of short-lived popularity; but in 1781 it suddenly echoed from one end of France to the other. The young Marie Antoinette gave birth to an heir, and the baby prince, in accordance with French custom, was placed under the care of a robust peasant foster-mother. The nurse used to put her royal charge to sleep, with the old song of her vil lage home. The girl-mother began, al most unconsciously, to repeat the sim ple refrain and, as if by magic, the song became the craze of the day. "Napoleon himself, though a hater of music, seldom mounted his charger to go into action without, singing a few bars of the ancient melody. "The air is still popular in France, as it is in England and America, but few of the doughboys, tommies and poilus humming in chorus can have suspected the varied history of the sim ple tune." IT LIAN ORCHESTRA AXSOVNCED The Western Musical bureau, Law rence A. Lambert, general manager, has been invited by the Italian-American association of New York city, to present in the Pacific northwest and western Canada, in a series of concerts, the celebrated St. Cecilia symphony orchestra from Rome, Italy, a body of 100 men, comprising one of the most distinguished orchestras in the world. The date of the concert of the orches tra in this city is planned about Novem ber 26, and other concerts are an nounced to take place in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Vancouver, B. C, Seattle, Spokane and Tacoma. For the first time in nearly 400 years, the historic Saint Cecilia society of Rome will depart from its tradition when the Augusteo popularly called the "Saint Cecilia orchestra" leaves Rome, in October, on its momentous mission to America. Few institutions, except churches or nations, can reckon their existence on a straight, unbroken line from a foun dation in 1566. In that y ar "The Con gregation of the Musicians of Rome under the Invocation of Saint Cecilia" was established by Pope Pius V, its TWO PORTLAJID Ml'SIC PEOPLE ACTIVE IN Cl'RRBST EVENTS. Mrs. Percy W.Lewis is the newly appointed president for the Pa cific northwest district of the Na tional Federation of Musical clubs. Mrs. J. Curtys Simmons, sopra no, soon will be presented In In dian music recital by the Western Musical bureau. charter being confirmed in 1584 by Gregory XIII. It is the orchestra sup ported by this venerable institution that is coming to this country for a transcontinental tour next fall. The Academy of Saint Cecilia has numbered all the great Italian musi cians of the past among its members as well as a host of foreign celebrities, including Wagner, - Liszt. Gounod and many others. The great composer and violinist Corelli was the head of the instrumental section in 1700. Among the list of members of the executive committee will be: Otto H. Kahn, Clarence H. Mackay. John 13. Rockefeller Jr., Charles H. Sabin, Will iam K. Vanderbilt, Henry Walters, George W.. Wickersham, Frederick G. Bourne, James Byrne, Andre de Coppet, Henry P. Davison, Henry C. Frick, Rob ert Goelet, Myron T. Herrick of New York city. MUSIC CREDITS SHOW GROWTH. Nearly 20u music teachers through out Oregon have applied for and, after written examination, have received certificates stating that they are ac credited music teachers and entitling them to be recognized legally as such in high school work. These certificates are issued from the office of J. A. Churchill, state su- to all accredited teachers, also being sent from Mr. Churchill's office. The new courses of study were pre pared by sl committee consisting of Dr. John J. Landsbury, Frederick W. Goodrich and Mrs. Jean Park Mc Crackeh, who. pass on all applications of music teachers who apply for such registration. The course outlines for students four years' work in piano, vio lin and vocal music. The result of this new order of things is 'seen in more study on the part of instructors, who are thus not only progressing in their professional duties, but are more valuable in im parting musical instruction to their students. Students desiring a high school credit must complete satisfac torily one year of music work, as di rected, t MONDAY MUSICAL GETS HOME The Monday Musical club has arrived at the stage in its development when, as its house committee says, it must be properly and independently housed and have all its attractions under one roof, if possible. Accordingly it has leased new clubrooms of its own at 148 Thirteenth street. Mrs. W. I. Swank, chairman of the house committee, reported at the open ing meeting of the board of manage ment last Monday that as much of the ground floor of the Thirteenth-street house ' as was obtainable had been leased, and added that although it is far from what a club of the size and Bcope of the Monday Musical club should have, it is a beginning toward an independent home. Workmen already are at work making the rooms in readiness for the opening of all de partments next month. The ballroom of the Hotel Multnomah has been engaged for the club's open ing reception the night of October 6 at 8:30 o'clock. One member of the club may bring one guest, and invitations will be mailed to the musical profes sion. The following committees are in charge: Social. Mrs. Fred A. Knibs; Leroy. Mrs. Marguerite Moore Bourne, new choral director of Rose City Park Methodist Episcopal church. ' : s $ $ s" J -4 ' ' . programme, Mrs. William Braeger; in vitations, Mrs. Florence Jackson You rey; decorations, Mrs. Charles A. Nor vell. Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed is again di rector of the chorus, and the first re hearsal will be held October 5 at 1:30 P. M. in the recital hall. 148 Thirteenth street. Miss Marie C. Dooley, chairman of the piano department, reported more than 20 pianists are on her list, ready to take up the work of the piano criti cal department. Owing to other en gagements, Mr. Becker asks to be re lieved of the work in this piano de partment, and this and other matters of moment will be considered at the adjourned meeting of the board of management tomorrow at 1:30 P. M. at 148 Thirteenth street. Mrs. E. C. Reed, chairman of the French department, reported that the first meeting will be held October 2, with Madame Closset director. The instructor in the junior music department, Mrs. Emma Welch Lan dry, will meet that class October 4. OPEN-AIR MUSIC IS LIKED. M. Christensen. one of the best friends of and constructive workers in the Portland Symphony orchestra, has re turned from his trip to New York city and other ppints east. He has been and is a valued member of the violin sec tion of this orchestra, and naturally, during his trip east, devoted a portion of his time attending orchestral con certs and violin recitals. The mecca of New York music cen tered around the stadium, at 137th street, that cty. during Mr. Christen sen's summer visit. "I heard at the stadium concerts three excellent violin artists Rosen, Jacobsen and Gardner," said Mr. Christensen. "Rosen, an Auer student, is especially wonderful. Gard ner is a fine artist, and he played sev eral of his own compositions. He is the author of a new symphony 'New Russia,' which I heard and enjoyed ex ceedingly. Powell, the pianist, had many admirers at these stadium con certs, and he won a triumph playing with the orchestra. Volpe is the regu lar conductor, and Hadley was a guest conductor. 'Those big stadium concerts were open-air events, and from 2000 to 6000 people attended each " concert. The singers we heard were noted Metro politan grand opera stars. When rain came these concerts were transferred to the city college adjoining. Foch, another conductor, directed a Brahms symphony. ln summertime which is rest time Portland needs such high-class 'but not ultra high-class concerts, where people with musical tastes can meet and enjoy orchestral music. New Yorkers certainly enjoy their summer stadium concerts, where they make and also partake of light refreshments. We in this city ought to have such musical relaxations. I feel sure the time soon is coming when we might, with profit, hold open-air orchestral concerts in the Multnomah field." MISS FARRAR IS WELL-OFF, Geraldine Karrar, soprano, assisted by Rosita Renard. pianist, and Arthur Hackett, tenor, will appear in con cert in the Curran theater, San Fran cisco, October 5. Miss Farrar is said to have one of the largest, if not the largest, incomes of any of the younger generation of singers. The question of her remuner ation in the Metropolitan Opera com pany was the cause of a mild sensa tion a few seasons ago when it was i-rnounced that she had signed a con tract with C. A. Ellis of Boston to de vote the entire season of 1915-1916 to concert work. Ultimately she was in duced to relent o the extent of prom ising the Metropolitan 20 performances in the spring of 1916 at a fee close to that of Caruso. Miss Farrar's fees for singing in opera and concert are more ti.an duplicated by her royalties from mechanical records, and her earnings in the moving picture field are enor mous. As the salaries paid singers are basfd strictly on commercial principles. Miss Farrar, who is a good business woman, realizes that she will be sole to command large fees only as long as she has the favor of the public. While she still has many years of dod ularity before her, she declares that she will retire at the age of 40. and when she does she may be one of the few wealthy women of the stage. TWO SINGERS WIN NEW LAURELS, The Misses Harriet and Florence Leach of this city are two admired singers who have sung and won cordial recognition among various Oregon beach audiences recently. Their most important appearance was on the oc casion of the late visit of Secretary of the Navy Daniels to Astoria, and a cor respondent from that city writes: "The big hit of the event was made by the Misses Harriet and Florence Leach of Portland. One sister is soprano and the other a contralto. Their voices blend splendidly and they were given quite an ovation after their many encores. The secretary presented them with a bouquet at the conclusion of their final number. They were ac companied by Lowell Patton, a pianist, also from Portland." The Misses Leach sang on two occasions in Astoria, and once in Seaside, for Secretary Daniels and officers of the fleet.. For eight weeks the Misses Leach have been at Manzanita beach. They sang for the Wheeler. Or., chamber of commerce, where they entertained Astoria visit ors. At one engagement where tbey promised to sing: they had to travel in the rain 46 miles by auto, but the feat was accomplished and the young sing ers won a pleasant success. The Misses Leach and their mother who is an- invalid have passed most of the summer on Manianita beach. They have enjoyed especially horse back riding and surf bathing. They also have sung lately for returned sol diers, in Mohler. Wheeler. Tillamook and other nearby places. BOY GIVES FINE RECITAL. In a farewell concert before he goes to New York City H coach in violin playing under eminent artists. Master Louis Kaufman of this city, appeared in concert last Thursday night in the Heilig theater. The affair was under auspices of the Portland Jewish Orph ans' Home. Master Kaufman, who is an unusually talented boy violinist, was presented in recital by Henry J. Bettman and gave an exceedingly good account of nlrnself as a serious, intelligent musician. His violin tone is of sparkling, shining, splendid beauty and his command of violin technique is excellent. He has clearly a promising career as a con cert violinist. Master Kaufman played a difficult, meritorious programme from memory and his list of pieces included such gems as a Sartinl sonata, a Spohr con certo. Bruch's "Kol Nidre." Rehfeld's "Spanish Dance" and Vieuxtemp's "Bal lade et Polonaise." These selections the boy played reverently and elncerely as one encunciating a musical message. Edgar E. Coursen was the piano accom panist and he played with cultured skill. The audience gave Master Kaufman a cordial reception. ORATORIO SINGERS WELCOMED. Several new members were added to the Portland Oratorio society last Mon day. The enthusiasm seems greater this year than at any time in the life of the society. It is planned this year to study nearly all of the choruses of Handel's "Messiah," so that the chorus members may be familiar with the whole work of the oratorio, solos and choruses. At Christmas time a one and one-half hour programme will be se lected. Some of the new choruses are: And the Glory," "To Thou That Tell- est," "For Unto Us." "Surely He Hath Borne Our Griefs," "All We, Like Sheep," "Hallelujah," "Worthy Is the Lamb," "Amen," are all well-known choruses. Besides these there are six short and five long choruses, not so well known, which it is proposed to study. All singers who wish to Join this society are Invited to attend rehearsals Monday nights at 8:15, room A central library building. Tenth and Yamhill. Joseph A.

Lewis is a live, faith ful worker of the Monday Musical club and she has just been appointed presi dent for the Pacific northwest district of the national federation of musical clubs. This new appointment will make Mrs. Lewis busier than usual in musical club activities in this state, Washing ton and Idaho. It is a pleasure to bear testimony that Mrs. Lewis is such a constructive, valuable element in the growth of serious music in this section. Mrs. J. Curtys Simmons, soprano, is cultured American woman who has Indian blood in her veins, and is proud of it. She has made an especial study of old American Indian tribal music and racial characteristics, and has been prepared for public recital work by Gio Tyler Taglieri. Mrs. Simmons shortly will be presented in Indian music re citals in this city and other portions of the Pacific northwest, by the West ern Musical bureau, Laurence A. Lam bert, general manager.

She has varied gifts in that line of music per formance and these have been carefully cultivated by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles W. Helme. Miss Helme will be presented in piano recital next month by Charles Dierke. "American audiences think too high ly of the artist and too little of his art." says Arthur Bodanzky. conductor of the New York Metropolitan Grand Opera company, in a recent interview. Until the government is back of all artistic endeavor in this country, we cannot achieve the eminence we seek. Art throughout the world has been drowned in a golden flood of money. We need a "Universal City of the arts as well as of the movies. The stagna tion in art today is not due to the war the war arose from stagnation of the arts." The New York Symphony orchestra. Walter Damrosch conductor, will sail for Europe to appear in concert at the invitation of the French government. an invitation also concurred in by the Italian and Belgian governments and by a committee of eminent musicians In England.

Flora Sims, soprano, and student of Harold Hurlbut. left last week for Chi cago, where she will continue her vocal work in concert and operatic activities. Miss Sims' range of voice increased from the upper F to high C during her studies in this city, and this develop ment secured her a leading role in light opera, in which line she sang for a season.

The music is within the reach of almost all voices and is in the key of F. The vocal compass is from C to E, in the treble clef. Washington High School band took part in the fire-prevention parade last Thursday and was the subject of much favorable comment on Its splendid en semble, both In music and appearance.
