Z&ji "lSbs? v.-.- Air. 4 ; fob" vF- time at home Mr. Richter has be come more and more a tone poet, and his art has, softened and become more mature. Mr. Richter was coached in piano by the great Leschetizky. and natur ally he is a master in this department. This quality was noted in the ease with which Mr. Richter rendered the Bach "Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue," and the Beethoven "Rondo Capricclo ao." The charming: "Hark. Hark, the Lark" (Schubert-Liszt and the Chopin group had a singing:, bird-like beauty in presentation that thrilled all who heard. Mr. Rlchter's own "Hawaiian Suite" reflects the quiet, romantic at mosphere of that gray isle, and lived again most gracefully. The famous "Liebestraum" (Liszt) was played with remarkable, singing charm of tonal effect, as a throbbing love song. The difficult yet welcome "Con certo, B flat Minor" (Tschaikowsky ) played by Mr. Richter. with Miss Agnes Love at the second piano, was one of the principal gems of the pro gramme. The audience by its hearty applause gave ample evidence of Its apprecia tion of the concert, which latter was given In aid of the pipe organ fund of the new home of th First Divine Science church, this city. At pres ent this congregation holds Its serv ices in the Portland hotel. Now that Mr. Richter is able to appear in a public recital once more. It is to be hoped he will give other music treats of the eame kind, early next season. TCemenway, X. T. MISS MILDRK11 JAMISOX. -Grove. MISS KVKL.INE CALDREATH. APttENCK A.

SEATTLE PIANIST WINS PRAISE Of a sunny disposition and merry mood combined is Miss Margaret Sheldon-Ames, daughter of Mr. and Mr. Edgar Ames, of Seattle, successfully presented in piano recital by Dent Mowrey. in the ballroom of the Mult nomah hotel, last Monday night. The two desirable qualities named are aptly and tastefully reflected In her music. Miss Sheldon-Ames has appeared also with marked success in piano re citals in her home city. Seattle. In last Monday night's recital Miss Sheldon-Ames played a difficult-to-render programme from memory se lections from the works of Bach, De bussy, Lachner, Atlaes. Sgambatl, Campbell-Tipton, Dent Mowrey and Chopin. The Bach "Chromatic Fantasie" is one of technical exactness, and in bristling appearance is not one whit behind the Debussy "La Kille an Cheveux de Lin" and "La Soiree dans Grenada." Tho young pianist in terpreted these with a power and mastery surprising in one of her years, and often suggestive some times of masculine strength. Then to bring out the feminine side of the pic ture, its grace and fairy-like beauty, the pianist rendered softly and color fully the Lachner "Prelude and Toccata" and the Campbell-Tipton "Legend No. 1." It was a special pleasure to again hear such a tuneful, well-played ren dition of Mr. Mowrey's "Danse Ex centrique," in which the singing mel ody rang out so prettily, and this number was so admired that it had to be repeated. The Chopin "Ballade In F Major" was skillfully worked up to a climax and the extra number was an "Ara besque" (Debussy). Both in technical equipment and presentation of melody did Miss Sheldon-Ames win cordial recognition from a large and appreciative audience. MISS CLARK WINS HONORS. Miss Isabel Wadsworth Clark, daugh ter of Mrs. S. I. Clark of 347 Wheeler street of this city, and sister of Miss Carolyn Clark, returned from New York City during the week and left last night for Moscow, Idaho, where she will direct piano technique in the summer school at the University of WEBBER FOLK MAKE MERRY. The Webber stringed orchestra closed its first season last Sunday with a party at the Webber Academy of Music. The original plan was for a picnic at Idylour, the Webber's sum mer home near Orenco, but rain necessitated the change of plan. Pic nic lunch at town headquarters, an impromptu musical programme, games and a trip to a moving-picture thea ter made up an enjoyable day. This orchestra, which was organ ized only last January, has an aver age membership of about 30. Under the direction of H. A. Webber it was rapidly organized and is well ad vanced in its work. Practice will be resumed in tseptemDer, with an aug mented membership, and a recital is planned for shortly after the holi days. Owing to the talent which has been attracted and the unusual in strumentation, a varied and attractive music programme is assured. HeCOHHACK DISPLAYS HEART. It is well known that John McCor niack, the Irish concert star who ap pears in concert in the public audito rium, June 17, ia one of the most pop ular singers in the world, but it has come upon his friends as a pleasant surprise to find new evidence that he is an entertaining public speaker. At the banquet recently tendered to Mr. McCormack in the Waldorf-Astoria. New York City, he said in part: "1 have sung good music and bad. bad only when judged according to the highest musical standards, but if I have made the world the slightest bit the better place to live in, if I have made one member of my audi ence one whit better for having heard me sine: those simple ballads and I make bold to claim that I have then fulfilled at least one obligation to my art. I have always felt that the prin cipal aim of all art especially the art of music, should be to raise men's minds above the sordid things of ev eryday life. To make us forget the bit terness and rancor, even the hatreds, that may for any reason arise and make us look on the world in a more tolerant and charitable spirit. And, in my humble way, JL have always ien that songs which, according to the accepted canons of musical art, may perhaps be counted as cneap nave accomplished the really high purpose of art if they make tne auaience me better for having heard them. That is the principal reason I sing the simple ballads. Of course, there Is another, we have an old saying in Ireland, you know, 'the man that pays the piper has a right to call tne tune.' "The artist may amass fortune, his career may be one long series of tri umphs, his picture may be in tne papers and the columns of the press filled with the praise that warms the cockles of all our hearts when we are conscious of work well done, but I would rather have the warm hand clasp of a friend who would say: 'John, you have made a h- -1 of success, but success has not spoiled you and you are still a regular fel low.'
