This being Mr. Heifets' first trans continental tour, Portland music-lovers are indeed fortunate to have this opportunity to hear this matter vlo-! Jinlst In their search for some one to jR'iiom to compare th magic Hei fcs, music reviewers in more than ce city seemea to turn instinctively knew, how Paganini played, but his name among violinists has always been that of Napoleon's among generals. But to link Heifets' name with 7'aganinl's is not entirely a compli ment to the young Russian artist. The twentieth century violin genius. it is stated, is probably more richly endowed musically than Paganlni ever was. It is probably true that Paaninl's technical gifts were no preater than what Heifetz shows. NothinR can be better than perfec tion, and no living violinist has ap proached the Russian youth's per fect playing. But Paganlni leaned away from the classics. He gloried in showy displays of "fireworks." His object was apparently to aston ish the world, and dazzle it he did, for his name surely will never die. AVith Heifets we see quite the re verse. No more sound and sincere musician is to be found than tbls modest player. He' can astound us, and he frequently does, but he has never jet played, eastern concert goers say, with the object of amaz ing us. Mrs. Laura Jones Rawlinson gave an open class day at 554 Everett street recently. The musical talk, in which the fundamentals of music to beginners were demonstrated by chil dren, was comprehensive and' admi rable. It was very interesting to see how readily rhythm, key and melody could be recognized and recorded and then transposed into any key named. In. addition, the subjects of sight reading, ear training, rhythm, musical history, chord formation and scale construction were discussed and ex amples shown by children. The Oregon Agricultural college Madrigal club, directed by Mrs. Gene vieve Baum Gaskins, assisted by Miss Ruth Rondeau, organist, Miss Isabelle Steele, violinist, and Arthur R.

The notice and adultation she receives would turn the head of an older "star" but little Ottilie has the time of her life when she Is "working" and thinks the world and everything in it was made for her pleasure. , It is this good nature and her al ways ready smile that make her val uable as a film asset for. strange to say. it is a very hard matter to find a baby who both photographs well and Is natural in front of the moving picture camera. l he hall was crowded, the people standing In the rear of the room, and they left fully satisfied.

"Perfumes always have been a pas sion with me," sayB Marguerite Na mara, the young prima donna of ths Chicago Opera company, "and there is nothing that fascinates me more than mixing various kinds together to soe which odor predominates. With out knowing the chemical value of these different perfumes I have been remarkably successful in some of my 'creations.' Just recently I mixed ten different kinds together, including ome very nearly priceless French erfunie. and the result was the most marvelous concoction that one can imagine. Strangely enough, it was ot the odor of the priceless French perfume that predominated in fact, it was almost impossible to dlstln- ulsh one from another. It was all perfectly blended. If ever 1 find the profession of a singer unremun- rative I think I shall try mixing per fumes, as I've already been approached by a firm for the formula of what I call my "I'arfura Extase Langou- reuse," named after one of my favor ite Debussy songs, and in Its way al most as much of a creation as its musical inspiration." An unfortunate ending to a suc- eesful concert appearance was Grace Kerns' mishap In 1'ittsburg, where she sang recently In a performance of Handel s . Messiah," with the Men delssohn choir. The concert con cluded, and on her way home. Miss Kerns was about to go through the gate at the railroad station to take the New York train, when a portion of the ceiling fell and Just missing her head struck her on one shoulder, causing a severe shock and Intense pain. The plucky little singer insisted upon being put on the train. Instead of being taken to a hospital. A physi cian was hastily summoned to board the train with her and look after her Injury.
