Last season, when several pipe or
gan concerts took place in the pub
lic auditorium. Sunday afternoons,
the attendance was so poor that the
receipts did not pay expenses, and the
recitals were abandoned for the time
being.
Today, a similar attempt will be
tried, and the committee in charge,
consisting of James A. Bamford,
Frederick W. Goodrich. Ralph W.
Hoyt, Luclen K. Becker and William
Robinson Boone, hope that enough
people will attend to make this initial
venture a success. A nominal charge
of admission will be made. If 1100
people attend, it la estimated that the
boa receipts will just cover tbe ex
penses, use of the auditorium, ushers
and boxofftce salaries, and other ex
penses.

In concert in the Multnomah hotel
ballroom Saturday night.
To those who are familiar with the
works comprising it. Miss Whiteside's
programme will be conspicuous at
once for Its taste in selection and ar
rangement. She will open part one
with the seldom heard "Concerto," in
the Italian style (Bach), consisting of
three varying movements, allegro, an
dante and presto. The distinguisn
Inr characteristics of this ' writer,
predominant in all his works and
familiar to those who know them, are
adnirably suited to the showing of
. itisa Whiteside's ability for handling
the most difficult. . "Andante" and
Scherzo- Codus 5). of the brilliant
thousrh conventional Brahma, will
complete the part.
Part two will consist of "Moon

posers Blanchett: "Prelude" and
"Nocturne." two exquisite sketches In
modern style by the French artist. Au
bert. and the "Rhapsody" (F sharp
minor) of Dohnanyl Hungarian.
The last part of this unusual pro
s-ramme will consist alone of the
a-reatest work of the greatest Ameri
can In the field of music, the "Keltic
Sonata" of MacDowelL Probably the
truest appreciation of this always
dynamic, but at the same tlrrie ex
quisite and lovely work. Is found in
the words of Lawrence Gilman. critic:
"This sonata marks the consum
mation of MacDowell's evolution to
ward the acme of powerful expression.
It is cast In a mold essentially heroic;
It has ita moods of tenderness, of in
sistent sweetness, but these are Inci
dental. The governing mood la signi
fied In the tremendous exordium with
which the work opens and which Is
sustained, with very few deviations,
throughout the work."

the well-known novelist and maga
zine writer, on events artistic in New

assist during the social hour. The
club has many Interesting plans for
the winter. Including the re-establishing
of ita chorus under William Boy
er's direction and the presentation of
the Pipes-Konrad-Hutchison trio in

The Mac Dowell club will co-operate
with the Musicians club in giving
an elaborate dance early next month,
probably about November (. to raise
the last of the music festival deficit.
The officers and board members of
the Mac Dowell club for 1919-1920,
are: Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke, hon
orary president: Mrs. Warren E.
Thomas, president; M rt. Fletcher Linn,

choruses, either in Portland or else
where. One woman singer told Joseph
A. Finley, the conductor, that she had
been a member of a large chorus in
St. Louis. It is proposed to take a
census of the chorus finding out from
what part of the world each member
came, and if he or she has sung pre
viously in such a large chorus. Law
rence A. Lambert spoke to the chorus
in an interesting manner and was re
celved with enthusiasm. As an
nounced last week, Mr. Lambert, man
ager and owner of tbe Weutern Musi
cal bureau, has agreed to act as busi
ness maneger of the Portland Oratorio
society for the Christmas "Messiah"
production to be given in the munici
pal auditorium with chorus of 200
voices, the solo parts to be taken in
part or full by eastern soloists.
Several choirmasters of the best
choirs in the city have been Invited
to practice the "Messiah" choruses
and assist in the final production.
Aa an added incentive to these plans
already registered to bring in new
members, Mr. Lambert made a par
ticularly attractive offer of a season
ticket to all his concerts given here
this winter, among them, he says the
St. Cecilia symphony orchestra from
Rome, Italy; Alice Neilsen, soprano
the Ruth St. Denis concert dancers
French army band sotlists; Du Breille,
violinist; True, pianist; Gallo English
opera company, playing a -vival of
the Gilbert A Sullivan light opera
a season ticket to the member who,
from now on. brings in the largest
number of new members.
It seems to be easy work this year
to get new members. It is expected
that the chorus will soon outgrow its
present meeting place, room A, Cen
tral library building. Tenth and Yam
hill, each Monday evening at 8:15.
Mr. Lambert, who has a fine bari
tone voice and has done considerable
solo and chorus work in Canada, re

i Inquiry is being made among nro-
fessional musicians of the city as to
the possibility of their becoming sup
porters of a plan to establish in some
downtown office building, a fine arts
colony, the tenants of which shall
consist of music instructors, art and
painting specialists and others of
those allied professions. The tenta
tive building plan consists of music
studios, two small concert halls, one
with accommodations for 200 and the
other for 400 people. The committee
in charge says that it is hoped to
carry the plan to a successful issue.
When about loo music stuqios are
leased, it is stated that the scheme
will take definite -shape.
At the last meeting of the Mu
sicians' club, a report was made from
two principals of high schools in this
city that the quality of music sup
plied by some musicians in furnishing
entertainment to children at high
school assemblies last season was of
such poor quality that it was hoped
these programmes would not be re
peated. Many professional musicians
in this city have agreed among them
selves not to render music in public
without a fee, on the argument that
they have living expenses to make,
and that they live by what they earn.
A motion prevailed that a committee
wait upon the school board and ask if
an appropriation of money cannot be
made to recompense professional mu
sicians furnishing music, in the fu
ture, at these high school events. A
feature of the meeting was the fine
quality of the musical - programme,
contributed by Christian Poole, 'cel
list, who played a composition he has
Just written, entitled "Longing" and
dedicated to his parents, who live in
Norway, and a tenor solo, sung by J.
Macmillan Muir. Mr. Poole's com
position is quite talented and of
original quality. It is beautifully sen
timental In treatment, and in- parts
quite somber. It faithfully expresses
a longing for home.

Eliminate Waste Effort
Time saved in technique-building through concentration, scientific
mental control of physical forces, and economy of motion. Mrs. Petri
eliminates drudgery by permitting no waste effort in blind muscle
building or haphazard finger-training. No movement is made with
out a direct purpose. Those with limited practice time acquire
technique by direct application of scientific technical principles in
pieces, combined with interpretation, aesthetics of music, and an
alytical memorizing. School credits given. Relaxation and breath
economy are the foundation of the Old Italian Method of Voice-production
used by Mr. Petri.
