Florence Macbeth, soprano, was torn at Man k a. to, Minn. Miss Mac fceth is described by her admirers as the "Minnesota Nightingale," and k ailed as a great coloratura singer. The Chicago Journal states: "Such a Toics has not been heard in the audi torium for many seasons." The Lon don Westminster. Gazette says: "A second Pattl."

OLson, basso, for merly of this city, is the newly appointed director of the vo cal department, Malen Burnett school of music, Walla Walla, Wash. in a round of his leading roles to the undiminished delight of his countless admirers in New York. A Scottl night at the Metropolitan la an unfailing draw for those who appreciates op eratic singing and dramatic art in their highest and best forms. Seen at the Metropolitan opera house, Mt. Scottl did not seem in the least oppressed by the weight of his managerial cares and responsibilities, but looked and spoke like a man of uncommon energy and action. Of cheerful disposition as well as active habit, he finds relaxation in a good game of bridge, which he plays with enthusiasm and finesse. The best of good fellows, there i no more popu lar figure at the Metropolitan opera before or behind the curtain and he carries the good will of all his asso ciates as a full-fledged impresario. STMPHOJTT SOLOISTS CHOSEN. As stated in The Oregonlan of last Wednesday, these concert stars have been engaged for concerts of the Portland Symphony orchestra, during the season. In the Heine theater: Benno Moiselwitsch, Russian piano star, in the symphony concert of Oc tober'27. Moiselwitsch was educated at the Imperial musical academy, Odessa, and at the age of 9 he won the Rubinstein stipendiary prise, later proceeding to Vienna with the cele brated Leschetizky. When he ap peared in concerts in England he was a big success. He was received with I mttrVnil ntiVtll. fatrftF vKfin h Ttlflvd in New York recitals. Josef Lhevinne, another Russian piano star, was born in Moscow In 1874. In 1891 Rubinstein selected Lhevinne from all the students at the Moscow conservatory to play at a concert directed by that famous mas ter. In European concerts Lhevinne soon was recognized as a piano star of - first magnitude, and he was equally successful in his music ap pearances in this country. Emillo de Gogorza, Spanish-Amer ican baritone, a native of Brooklyn, N. Y., was educated musically in Eng land and France. He is a concert favorite in this city, and is univer sally hailed as an ideal concert artist. Miss May Peterson, soprano of the New York Metropolitan grand opera company, has won golden opinions for her superb singing In concerts in Europe and this country. She ap peared recently in this city in con cert, and was cordially received. Carl Denton, conductor of the Port land symphony orchestra, has ar rived from his vacation passed at Newport, Or, and Bay that orches tral rehearsals soon will be called. At a meeting of the board of guar antors of the orchestra, held last Tuesday, encouraging reports were made as to the financial outlook of the season. RICBTER RECITAL SEPTEMBER 17 It Is a welcome announcement that Francis Richter, a favorite Portland pianist-composer, and a student of the great Leschetizky of Vienna, will appear in piano recital Friday night in the assembly room of the Portland hotel.

"Ragamuffin" (John Ireland); "Sonetta del Petrarca,' "Valee Imprompt." "Etude de Con cert D flat" and "Rhapsodie Hua- groise No. 12 (Franz Liszt). SCOTTI IS MAN OF ACTION. Antonio Scottl, founder of the Scot tl Grand Opera company, which or ganization will give three perform ances at the Heilig, September 30 October 1 and 2, under the direction of Steers & Coman and the Elwyn Concert bureau, has not been spoiled by success and does not permit him self to be pampered by prosperity. A man or energy and action, he ad mires American methods and his sev eral years of residence in this coun try, save when he has been fulfilling Important engagements at the prin dpal opera houses of Europe and the Royal Opera, Covent Garden. London have made him a veritable "hustler.' Thus It Is that ne has entered upon the business of an operatic impreeario with a zeal and energy which many a younger man might envy. Mr. Scotti Is in the prime of hie Towers and abilities and never has he sung or acted with greater effec than during the recent season of the Metropolitan opera, where he appeared BOYS CHORUS IS PROPOSED Folks who are Interested in boys. especially boys' singing clubs, and who attended In the public audito rium the recent concert of the Whit ney boys' chorus of Seattle, liked the Idea so much that they and their club workers are interesting them selves in trying to form a similar boys' chorus In this city. A meeting to talk over the project is called at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. Sixth and Taylor streets, at" 7:30 P. M. Tuesday, September 14. Carl S. West, one of the young men In charge of the Seat tle chorus, is working earnestly to make the proposed Portland chorus success and will epeak at Tuesday nights meeting. . It is proposed" that the boys of the Portland chorus shall meet for re hearsal once each week. Special ar rangements will be made so that the boys having other evening engage ments need only attend twice msnthly. Tec chorus has carried on an antl cigarette campaign as a regular part of i(s work in other cities. This has been done entirely by volunteers from among the chorus. These boys go to difftrent Sunday schools and churches and sometimes other organizations and give talks on the cigarette ques tion, either prepared by themselves or furnlshed- The plan also includes summer trips, with concerts in neighboring cities The Seattle boys. 44 in number, have m&do concert trips to Vancouver. B. C, and through California cities to the Mexican tine. Workers and boys who ' sing are asked to assist in the formation of this new chorus. from one or two octaves in compass, and also in quality, to an astonishing degree. The increase in resonance quality Is made possible through the basic principle of the stringed In strument vibration and its reflection. which is resonance. The seat of res onance is back of the bKuil "The whole body responds to the reflection of vibration. There Is then no need or consciousness of breath., the whole body is a sounding board. One of the Interesting phases of this system is the potency in the restora tion of lost or misused voices, and in the building up of the physical body to the point of its fullest de velopment. From the first Instruction in this system of vocal study, each step Is taken with the recognition and application of psychological princi ples. "Every movement of the body in volved In the production of vocal tone, becomes an involuntary movement without physical sensation under the direction of the sub-conscious mind leaving the conscious mind free to di rect all interpretation and expres sion." The speaker added that after she had received years of vocal training in Europe, she lost her speaking and singing voices, and that it was only after she had formulated her own ad vanced vocal ideals, the vocal trouble disappeared. MUSIO BRIEFS. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Clifford, violinist and pianist respectively, have re turned from a seven weeks' outing trip at Welch's, Or. Mrs. Pearl Ervin Thomas has re turned after an extended visit in California. Her sister, Mrsi Walter C. Royal, came with her. Mrs. Edith 'M.

His musical plans for this season Include eeveral students' recitals and a short ' concert trip for himself, as pianist. mm Miss Lucille Cummins has returned to The Dalles, Or., after passing the summer In Portland, where she studied piano with Dent Mowrey and organ with Frederick W. Goodrich, besides attending the summer session of the University of Oregon school of music. The Tuesday night sings at Central library are like a book of remem brances, so Impressive are these meet ings. Last Tuesday night room A was filled to capacity and a well rendered programme was rendered of piano, violin and vocal numbers, in cluding Mr. Crawford s lecture on Personal Philosophy.

She also attended his five weeks' course of repertoire, interpre tation and teachers class. The raa jorlty of the members of this 'class 209 E. 324 St. VOCAL IDEALS TISIONED, Mrs. Barbereux-Parry, a voice specialist, of Chicago, lectured on "Vocal Ideals," before an Interested audience recently in the Benson hotel. She is a fluent, cultured speaker, and In her advocacy of reforms in vocal instruction, she is an advanced thinker. "The human voice is a stringed In stument, and the whole process of de velopment lies In increasing the capacity of the sounding-board," said the lecturer, "when the voice is de veloped in this manner, there is never any consciousness of breath, and sing- ing becomes more easy and natural than speaking. All .voices increase (Concluded on Page 7.) Saxophones Martin Martin Band In struments are of superior worth.
