LAUDATION enough to turn
a young musician's, bead has'
been launched whenever Miss
"Winifred Byrd. the New York pianist,
kas appeared In recital In New York
City and elsewhere on her concert
tour. But Miss Byrd, a sensible, nor
mal Oregon girl, remains as unspoiled
end modest as ever.
Miss Byrd will be presented in
piano recital under the management
of the Western Musical bureau, Law
rence A. Lambert, general manager,
S o'clock Sunday afternoon, Decem
ber 7, In the Alcazar theater. Eleventh
and Morrison streets. Miss Byrd's
own home Is In Salem. Or.
Eastern musical critics probably
Bought refuge In the dictionary to
discover new adjectives, to describe
the new little sensation of the piano
keyboard, Winifred Byrd. If one
were to compile a list of the phrases
and adjectives used by all the New
York, Chicago and critics of the other
large cities who have heard in con
cert Winifred Byrd, this past season,
would find there were few that had
not been applied. Here are a few
phrases taken from newspaper criti
cisms written' by the most eminent
music cricics of the east:
"Paderewskl might call her the lit
tle devil of the keyboard."
"The most interesting personality In
the field."
"A quaint wisp Is this newcomer
and this sprite of a woman took
thunders from the keyboard."
"She is the Puck of Planodum."
"She electrifies her audience."
"She plays amusingly easy."
"Captivates her audience."
"Her technique is marvelously per
fect."
"Miss Byrd Is a mere child with
bobbed hair and a tiny figure, but
there is nothing childish about her
when she begins to play."
It has previously been remarked
that no other pianist since the com
ing of Paderewskl or Harold Bauer
has attracted so sudden and favorable
comments on both personality and
playing, as has Miss Byrd.
TWO SOLOISTS PLEASE.
" Madame Leotta. reader, and Gordon
Aplin Soule. pianist, recently took
part In a successful muslcale in the
community house. St. Johns. They
furnished a literary and musical
treat that delighted all who attended.
Madame Leotta, who has won credit
as a Sbakesperean personator, rendered
several selections, among which was
one from the fourth act of Shakes
peare's drama, "King John." This
number displays the power of the
performer as a delineator to advan
tage, but the number which specially
proved Madame Leotta's dramatic
ability, was the sketch enttled "Come
Here." This last won the enthus
iasm of the audience, but was forced
to share honors with "Bobolink," in
which Leotta inimitably mimicked
that bird's silvery trills. A short skit
entitled "Susie Entertains," brought
many a laugh.
Gordon Soule played with rare skill
the "Rhapsodle Hongroises, Nos. VI
and XII" (Llzt), the "Prelude In G
Minor" (Rachmlnanoff), a number by
Paderewskl, "Berceuse" (Chopin), and
"Campanella" (Llzt). In addition he
rendered the famous "Hunting Song"
by the same composer. This was done
after Madame Leotta announced that
she had asked Mr. Soule to play this
composition, and that he had refused.
Finally, as a last resort, she led him
out before the audience and promised
them that he would favor them with
the famous number. Mr. Soule turned
the tables by playing an entirely dif
ferent piece, though at last he did
render the "Hunting Song" as a re
call. Madame Leotta, who Is known In
humanitarian and social work
throughout the west as Mrs. F. W.
Swan-ton, and Mr. Soule intend to
tour the west, and later one of the
national circuits in recitals..
TWO MUSIC PEOPLE ACTIVE
IN CURRENT EVENTS.
Miss Winifred Byrd. the Oregon-New
York concert pianist,
will be presented In recital. Al
cazar theater, Sunday afternoon,
December 7.
Mrs. Edward L. - Thompson,
president Portland Opera asso
ciation, has done notably good
executive work in preparing for
presentation the Flotow opera,

Friday and Saturday nights,
November 21-22.
remains nearly $200 to apply toward
the payment of this much-talked-of
deficit.
So, although the dance was a.b'lg
social success, and well attended, the
financial result was a little disap
pointing, when one considers the sus
tained hard work of the committee
who engineered the event. This com
mittee, George E. Jeffery president,
John Claire Montelth, Dr. Emil Enna
and other workers, kept busy on the
business details of the event, selling
tickets Individually, doing publicity
work, making short talks to interest
business men in the cause. The pa
tronesses were women of the Mac
Dowell club, headed by Mrs. Warren
E. Thomas, president, and they, too.
worked hard for the cause.
The Musicians' club is under no
strict obligation to pay the deficit re
ferred to, which, indeed; is "fathered"
by the officers of the music festival
committee.
Well, we shall Just have to allow
the financial end of this affair to rest
where It is for the present. other
clubs ought to get busy and do their
share.
Socially the 14 dances engaged in
by the guests November 7 were much
enjoyed and participated in. So also
were enjoyed the nice, smooth, pol
ished dance floor, and the delightful
music played by the dance orchestra,
led by Andrew Nelson. The music
programme orchestra, led by George
E. Jeffery, discoursed splendid tune- j
ful and sparkling numbers.
Under direction of M. Chrlstensen,
members of his ballet classes, in
beautiful costumes, danced a number
of charming, fancy dances. Miss
Jessie Merriss danced the solo "Dra
gon Fly," depleting life, struggles and
the fly heaven of that animal. The
parasol dance group included graceful
numbers from Miss Katherine Jane
Seel, Miss Margaret Robinson, Miss
Catherine Cole and Miss Loween
Dunn.
The solo "Valse Brilliant" was ex
quisitely danced by Miss Lucille
D' Andrea, who was once a student in
artistic danoing of the distinguished
maestro Mascagni of New York city.
The "Polka de Ballett" was prettny
nd charmingly danced by Miss
Louise Cameron, Miss Dorothy Lyon
and MiS9 Jessie Merriss.
These dances were such dreams of
beauty and so well danced that they
alone were well worth the price of
dmlssion. They were an honor to
the artistic life of Portland.
tlve in all musical matters at col
lege, continued his artistic career as
a sort of "side line" until he had
accomulated enough riches, $900 to
be exact, to enable him to go to New
York for real serious vocal study.
Once in the metropolis he secured a
good choir position, and set to work
with a will. "If I do say it, I was
some worker. I studied day and
night as if I had only a week in
which to prepare for the rest of my
life, says the singer.
In 1909, when Oscar Hammerstein
was recruiting singers for his new
venture, the Manhatten opera com
pany, he gave a hearing to the young
basso, Henri -Scott. More than that,
he engaged him at once to appear
with Mary Garden and a host of
other celebrities, who took New York
by storm. Mr. Scott made his debut
as Ranfis in "Aida" and scored a suc
cess. The next year he went abroad
and secured a contract at the Adritrno
theater in Rome, Italy, where he sang
one season, and then went directly to
the Chicago Opera company. Four
years ago, the Metropolitan opera en
gaged him.

XtOMIe music composers meet.
.-The fourth meeting of the Society
of Oregon composers was recently
held with Mrs. K.atherine L. Johnson
when 18 members enjoyed listening to
several original piano compositions,
most of which were played from
manuscript.
'. Lucien E. Becker played an orig
inal: Mazurka, which greatly pleased.
Miss Waystaff followed with her
'tOriental Dance," which made a de
eldedy impression, by her treatment of
the various themes employed. Mlsa
Jean- McKercher performed her "Min
uet." one of a suite, and showed
talent for compositions of real merit.
through her clever and pleasing
modulations and her polyphonic
concepts.
- Mr. Becker also played a composi
tion by Mrs. Harris, which was cor
dlally received, and a number com'
posed by Miss Calbreath. both of
which scored hearty applause. L V.
Becker, E. O. Spitzner and Dr. Parvin
contributed constructive criticism.
At the next meeting. December
a programme of original songs by
Portland composers will be rendered.

SCOTT CONCERT WEDXESDAT,
Henri Scott, the noted operatic bari
tone, who appears in concert in the
Hellig theater Wednesday night, has
had a varied career. From delivering
stock certificates for an office in
Philadelphia to singing the chief bass
roles at the Metropolitan opera in
New York, Is typical of the possibili
ties that America offers to one with
ambition.- Mr. Scott s father was an
army officer and his hope of course
was to have his son enter west i-omt.
but a soldier's life at that time did
not seem to hold sucl romantic pros
pects as did an operatic career, and
young Scott declared for music. Dur-
ng his school vacations, ne never was
idle. He did all sorts of "Jobs." fre
quently unknown to his family,
hoarding every dollar he received.
When attending high school, he de
cided to take singing lessons, but no
member of the household excepting
his mother was taken Into nis confidence.
Mr. Scott, basso, who had been ac-
SYMPHONY CONCERT NOV.
Albert Spaulding, the American vio
linist who will be soloist with the
Portland Symphony orchestra for the
concert of November 26 In the Hellig
theater, will be heard in 58 American
cities this season. Among the or
chestras with which he will appear
as soloist are the New York Phil
harmonic, and the New York, Chicago,
Boston, St. Louis and Cincinnati sym
phony orchestras.
Mr. Spaulding gave up his violin
recitals in 1917 in order to enter the
aviation service. He did this without
thought of the possible cost. It is a
pleasure to him now to realize that
the experience has brought him a
wider vision and a keener under
standing of the music which he
thought that possibly he might be
sacrificing forever when he entered
the war. It is Mr. Spauldlng's belief
that the sincerity and straightfor
wardness taught by the war will be
reflected in musicians and audiences
of today. The bombastic and startling
will give place to sanity and -truth,
in player and listener.
Mendelssohn will furnish the music
which Mr. Spaulding has c'aosen for
his Portland concert. He will play
with the symphony orchestra Men
delssohn's "Concerto In E Minor, Opus
64."
public Auditorium this would not be J
possible," explained Mrs. Thompson. j
"for the presentation of opera is ex- ;
pensive. But so far, we are happy to
say. the association has managed to
keep its head 'well above water with- j
out asking for anything but public
patronage. We promise to give more
than full value for the money. I
might say that ths opera we are now
about to present should easily com
mand three times the prices wo are
charging, but that would not be fol
lowing out the aim we have in mind
which Is permanent opera, at popular
prices. -
"The Portland idea of giving opera
is being talked -of throughout the
country and many large cities are now
beginning to copy it. eastern news
papers are printing, columns about
grand opera and how the people are
clamoring for it. The music critics
predict that in a few years all of the
principal American centers will have
their own opera companies and houses
and then will follow American operas
written by American composers. This
is what Portland has been working
for, for six years, and we are begin
ning to see good results,
"As for the production of 'Martha'
it will be the banner achievement of
the association to date, because we
have a most splendid cast of princi
pals, a wonderful chorus, an excellent
orchestra and a conductor who knows-
his business, Robert Corruccinl, wltn
out whose guiding hand probably our
present work would not have suc
ceeded. "
"The stage settings will he elabor- !
ate. The costumes have arrived. The
music we received some time ago and
rehearsals have been under way for
months until now every part is known
letter-perfect- Rehearsals are being
held 'in the nubile Auditorium and
when the curtain rolls tip on the open
ing night the audience will have the
treat of a. finished production in
every detail. Some of these things
we have learned through experience
and hence we decided upon dress re
hearsals, when the opera is given
from beginning to end.
"The encouragement received Is
something remarkable this year, for
large blocks of seats have already
been sold, and we look for capacity
bouses at both performances. The box
office sale win open November 19, at
Sherman, Clay & Co. s.
Although Mrs. Thompson made light
of the hard work she has done and is
still doing as president of the Port
land Opera association, it is known
from those associated with her as
fellow board officers, that she has
taken more than her share of respon
sibtlity in attending to the multitu
dinous details of a home opera pro
duction. She has been personally in
touch with all the inner business and
artistic details, she has Interested
business and social clubs in the pur
chase of tickets and has made during
the past month, with unusual tact
and cleverness, several public ad
dresses. ' for the cause of Portland
onera.
Out of all the operatic worry and
hard work. Mrs. Thompson emerges
emlllne- and hannv.
She has done signal service for tne
cause she has so much at heart,' and
has emphatically "made good.

There are four-hand compositions for
Instructor and student, or in some
for two students. These studies have
attracted the attention of such emi
nent musicians as Harold Bauer, who
discusses them In a recent issue of

WELL, WELL, JAZZ IS LAUDED.
Ensign Alfred j. Moore, of the na
vel reserve force, and leader of a
band of 25 former United States sail
ors engaged in war service, said In
a recent interview that the music
known as "Jazz" is in demand.
"The public wants it," Ensign
Moore proceeded, ' if a musical or
ganization can't supply what people
want it should quit. It's Just like any
business. It can't bo successful unless
it wins the approval of Mr. General
Public, who must be satisfied at all
hazards. Few musicians are able to
play Jazz and opera in equally ac
ceptable fashion. They are specialists
in either one or the other, seldom
both.
"Personally I like musio of the
higher class. Thousands of others do,
but before general popularity can be
won the public must be educated into
learning It. When one goes to an
opera he hears variations of tone, but
fails to realize the full meaning of it.
Words in Italian, with great waving
of the limbs, make no impression on
the mind of the average citizen, who
knows nothing of that manner of
conversation.
'When we were in Paris I attended
several performances of the best
operas there. Europe has scores of
centers for such music, while the
United States has but few cities sup
porting it."

Lucien E. Becker's second monthly
pipe organ recital in -Reed college was
attended by a large Armistice day
crowd, which was highly appreciative
of the well-balanced programme
played of music of modern Bnglish
composers. Mr. Becker added to the
interest of the recital by giving in
terestlng comments on the composer
and ths nature of the compositions.
The "Sonata in the Style of Handel,"
by the blind musician Wolstenholme,
was the big number of the recital. It
has the musical merit of a classic.
Another excellent piece was "Dithy
ramb." by Harwood. Other numbers
pleasing to the audience were "Medi
tation" (Sturges), "Pomp and Cir
cumstance" (Edgar) and a quiet pas
toral by MacMaster. Mr. Becker de
lighted the audience by playing as a
patriotic number his own "American
Fanta8le. including America's na
tional airs. The next recital, open to
the public, will be December 9.
This may be the last concert sea

Angeles.
