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.

Alterations being made to the tea
gardens at the Hotel Multnomah, the
last regular meeting of the Musi

coffee house, and Emil Enna, on be
half of the club, presented George E.
Jeffery, president of the club for the
past season, with a gold fountain pen
in appreciation of his work for the
past year.
Mr. Jeffery, in thanking the mem
bers, expressed his regret that the
club had not really progressed as
much in attendance at meetings as
he could have wished in the past
year. He though that prosperous
conditions among the music teachers,
which made it impossible for them
to spare the time for meetings and
club work were, to a large extent,
responsible The last meeting and
installation of officers will be held

Teachers' association, at the lawn
party and supper gfven at the home

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.' "
