A MOST interesting and versatile
programme of the season will be
rendered at the public audito
rium Thanksgiving night, Thursday,
November 25, at 8:30 o'clock, when
the Portland Oratorio society of 100
voices will present Miss Mabel Rle
gelman, prima donna of the Chicago
Grand Opera company, in a miscel
laneous programme comprising both
sacred and secular numbers, as well
as excerpts from grand opera.
This programme will be augmented
by the special appearance of the
Ladies' Columbia symphony orches
tra, an organization of 30 gifted girl
musicians, conducted by Mrs. Frances
Knight. This orchestra has received
nthuasiastic praise from Portland
music people, and this will be one of
their last appearances In Portland
prior to their making a tour of the
entire western United States and
western Canada under management of
Laurence A. Lambert om the western
musical bureau.
Miss Riegelman is one of the most
attractive soloists to appear in Port
land this season. She recently sans
before the Saturday club at Sacra
mento, Cal., and the president of that
organisation wrote to Miss Riegel
man's management: "The Riegelman
eoncert was one of those long to be
remembered ones and she certainly
possesses a winning personality to
have charmed her listeners as she
did. Her voice is lovely and her in
terpretation wonderful."
The Sacramento Bee mentions: "Ma
bel Riegelman won the hearts of her
audience into applause free and un
reserved that demanded numerous en
cores. The story of the concert is mat.
of another success added to the many
"which she already clalmB."
The Oratorio society executives feel
that this will be one of the finest con
certs they have ever presented to the
Portland public and hope music lov
ers will express their appreciation by
attending: in large numbers.

With a season's programme which
is perhaps the most ambitious ever
undertaken by the Apollo club that
organization announces its opening
concert Tuesday night, November 30,
at the public auditorium. The 75 men
comprising the chorus have been for
several weeks in careful preparation
for the event, and under the direction
of William H. Boyer, conductor, may
be depended upon to maintain their
past music successes. ,
As soloist for the first concert the
club will present Charles Bulotti,
tenor, a young Californlan, practically
unknown to Portland people. He is re
ported to stand in highest esteem In
his native state and ranked as possi
bly one of the finest tenors on the
Pacific coast. Mr, Bulotti will con
tribute numbers including operatic
arias, Italian folk songs and a group
of English 6ongs. In commenting on
his recent appearance there, the Los
Angeles Times says: "The most prom
inent feature of Mr. Bulotti'a work
was his clear ana snarpiy aennea
enunciation in every language in
which he sings. This, together with
his excellent voice, accounts for the
prominent place he has among Cali
fornia artists."
For the second concert. February

America's shining lights in the musi
cal realm, and whose achievements
cover both the grand opera and con
cert field, will be presented. Miss
Case's name is extensively known in
the United States. Her appearance
ought to tax the seating capacity of
the auditorium.

Portland people as Lotta Othick, will
be presented at the closing concert
April 5. This gifted young arUst.
who Is a native of the Pacific north
west, will be heard for the first time
here following her New York debut.
Eastern musical critics have hailed
her as a distinct addition to the
American field of music. The New
York Tribune, says: "Miss Madden is a
singer distinctly above the average.
She displayed a voice of extraordinary
beauty. It is a mezzo quality and es
pecially rich In the lower register, but
It can compass" the higher reaches as
well.

HACKKTT-VIDAS CONCERT DEC. 1.
It is rarely that the critics on the
New York daily newspapers are quite
unanimous on the merits of an opera
or an operatic artist. But such was
the case following the first American
appearance or Charles Hackett, the
brilliant young tenor, who will be
heard on December 1 at the Heilig.
in concert with Raoul VIdas, French
violinist, and under direction of
Steers & Coman.

wlV the audience. Indeed, after he
naa sung nia nrsi numDer. trre sere-
nade, in the opening act, the perform
ance was Interrupted for some mo.
ments by the applause which fol
lowed," was the comment of Mr. Hen
derson of the New York Sun, while
Sylvester Rawling of the Evening
World testifies: "His success was un
mistakable. His voice has the range
and flexibility. It Is light, but true.
The great'audience rose to him after
the serenade and he was called be
fore the curtain, alone, half a dozen
times or more.'
Raoul VIdas is a native to Rouma
nian but the choice fell upon Paris
for the development and perfection of
his art.. It was through a -piece of
rare good fortune and the kindness
of friends that he was brought to the
attention of Berthelier, the greatest
teacher of the violin in France and
professor at the conservatoire. The
master found here much wonderful
material to . work with and many
times during the years of study to-
getner Berthelier sent for young
Raoul to come to the conservatoire
and show his other pupils "how it
should be played. Keenly in sym-
pathy with all things French, France programmes Friday morning and aft

he became known through his reci
tals at the Salle des Concerts of the
conservatoire, the Salle Gaveau, the
Lyceum and the Auditions Lyriques
du Jardin des Tuilerles, as "Le Petit
Kreisler."
NEW BASSO FEATURED.
One of the new voices that will be
heard when the Portland Opera asso
oration presents Verdi s "The "Force
of Destiny" at the publlo auditorium.
Friday and Saturday nights. Decern
ber 3 and 4, is that of Edward
Moshofsky, basso. This will be
Moshofsky s debut in grand opera,
but those who have had opportunity
to near film at rehearsals predict that
it will not be the last. They say he
gives promise of becoming a really
great operatic basso.
Moshofsky has .been spoken of
occasionally the past year as the
Polish basso, but he explains that
this is an error. He says really he
is not Polish, because he was born
in St. Paul, Minn., and that his par
ents were born in Milwaukie, Wis
His grandfather came from Bohemia
and brought with him the modifica
tion of a name of somewhat Polish
inclination.
The young basso makes, his home
at Cedar Mills, and is looked upon as
a musical find. He has studied vocal
work for several years, the past
tnree witn nooerto uorruccini. jren
eral conductor of the Portland Opera
association, who at once discovered
the material for a -. great operatic
basso. As a child at six Moshofsky
began the study of the piano, and
he continued this during the time he
devoted to the study of civil engi
neering, prior to coming to Oregon
In "The Force of Destiny" Moshof
sky will sing the rele of one of the
friars. It calls for a rather phenom
enal voice, but little acting, the role
being that of an old man. In places
the score extends over two octaves.
and Moshofsky runs the compass with
remarkable ease. His greatest oppor
tunity for display of voice lie in the
duet with the soprano, in the duet
with the baritone snd In a trio for
soprano, tenor and basso.
MRS. PETRI WINS SUCCESS.
' Lillian Jeffries Petri, a favorite
and talented Portland concert pianist,
gave much pleasure to a large audi
ence by the rendition of classical
piano music at a meeting of the Mac
Dowell club last Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Petri's programme, which has
not yet been printed in The Oregonlan,
consisted of these numbers: "Exalta
tion (Schumann); "Impromptu, Opus
142, No. 3" (Schubert); "Rigaudon"
(Raff); "Nocturne, Opus 15, No. 2,"
"Etude,- Opus 10. No. 6". "Prelude.
Opus 28. No. 20," and "Ballade, Opus
47" (Chopin,); "Oondollera" (Liszt);
"Tannhanser march" (Wanner-Liszt).
It will be voted that the music
chosen for rendition belongs to the
pure classics, that have stood the
test of time, and have been found
good. They are of international type,
and are not bounded by any shore or
sea. Mrs. Petri demonstrated that she
has not stood still lately, as a pianist.
It is evident she has worked diligent
ly and studied , and thought much
along lines suggested by such beauti
ful, creative music ' Th numbers-!
especially those- of the Chopin -group.
were played in masterful style and
excellent finish and interpretation.
Her piano technique is profound, and
tone sparkling and sinking. She is
adequate both in pianissimo and dy
namics. The audience showered Mrs.
Petri with plenty of proofs of the
cordial esteem la which she is held
as a. pianist. -
MONT AY MUSICAL WORK. -
The Monday Musical club was a de
lightful host last Monday at a

their meeting last Monday, presented
their own programme. Their time
this month is being devoted to the
study of sonata form. Questions had
been given out by the programme

were answered later by the various
girls and boys. These questions were
supplemented by a paper on the same
topic read by Gloria Christ.

REUTER SEEKS NOVELTIES.
Rudolph Reuter, pianist, whose re
cent New York recital attracted much
interest, on account of his unusual
programme and the Dohnanyi novelty.
'Winterreigen, can Justly lay claim
to being one of the champions of the
cause of "new" mualo of our own day.
Reuter. ever searches for "new" mu
sic that is good and novel. Even as
student in pre-war Berlin, where
the tendency musically was conser
vative, to say the least, he would on
occasions astound his fellow-students
and teachers by asking to be allowed
to play for them pieces considered
taboo by virtue of their ultra-modern-ness.
Once he dared to present a most
elaborate oontrapuntal piece of in
genuity of Max Reger, some Scriabine
and the latest Ravel composition,
whereupon everyone held up their
hands in horror, and he was cautioned
never again to attempt such daring
innovations. But his experiment had
inoculated the student body with the
spirit of progress to which in. due
time the members of the faculty suc
cumbed. Since his return to his native Amer
ica, Rudolph Reuter has probably
played more novelties than most of
the other pianists before the public
Carefully choosing novelties as - he
does, they are not discarded after one
or two performances, but continue
in his repertoire.

HAROLD HENRY WINS ,8ALE.
The event of greatest Interest and
importance musically In Salem this
year was the concert recently given
in the Grand theater, that city, by
Harold Henry, pianist.
Mr. Henry's concert appearance was
the result of the activities of a group
of prominent Salem women, who
formed, recently, the Salem Musical
bureau and which will bring other
musical artists of note to the capital
city during the year. Mrs. W. Everett
Anderson is manager of the bureau
and she is being ably assisted In the
work by Mrs. A. N. Bush, Mrs. John J.
Roberts, Mrs. Clifford Brown, Mrs.
William Burghardt Jr., and Miss
Elizabeth Lord.
Mr. Henry played to a' full house
that Included music-lovers from Mon
mouth, Sllverton, Albany and Wood
burn. He presented a programme that
was well balanced, artistic, musical
and withal satisfying. Prolonged
ovations followed each number, Mr.
Henry responding with a number of
encores. His own composition "The
Dancing Marionette," was one of the
most popular numbers and proved the
player's right to claim honors as a
successful originator of music as well
as an interpreter.
Mr. Henry's concert programme:
Preambulo and Minuet," from "Par
tita in G" (Bach); "Gigue" (Vivaldi
Bach); "Etudes, Op. 25, No. 7, Op. 10,
No. 7" (Chopin); "Scherzo, Op. 20"
(Chopin); "Keltic Sonata" (MacDow
ell); "Valley of the Belles" (Ravell):

in an interview air. nenry gave
this as his message to young mu
sicians: "Be sure of your calling; sure
that you love music above all else and
that you are willing to spend years
without recognition and with the
vision of but harder work ahead. One
must never be discouraged. When
things look darkest then it is the time
to persevere, for it is at such times
that greatest progress is made, when
comes the surest recompense. If a
player, feels -that he has made an In
ferior performance, the thing to do
is not to let down, but to be de
termined that the work shall' be re
peated and repeated without error."
Mr. Henry believes that children's
musical success depends largely on
their parents' understanding and prop
erly directing their talent. He sees a
bright outlook for both American mu
sicians and composers.
LHEVINNE'S CAREER SKETCHED
Josef Lhevinne, ' the great Russian
pianist, who is to be soloist at the
concert of the Portland Symphony or
chestra, Heilig theater, Wednesday
night, December 8, was, during the
late war, held in Germany as an
enemy alien. This was because he
happened to be born in Russia.
When Lhevinne was once more free
to do as he pleased, his first pleasure
was to come to. the United States.
This meant that the Leonine genius
who first astonished all musical New
York 13 years ago and became, over
night, the popular Idol of the public,
returned to repeat his triumphs, after
six years' absence. - i
Those who were present at that
memorable debut of Lhevinne when,
practically unknown and unheralded,
he played the Rubinstein Concerto,
No. 5, with the Russian Symphony in
New York under the baton of Wasslly
Safonoff, will remember perhaps the
thrilling ' reception which was ac
corded him. Not since Rubinstein
had such a colossal technique, together
with a tone of such ravishing beauty,
been heard.
Rubinstein was deeply interested in
the career of Lhevinne ' He was, in
a way, the spiritual father to the
voung genius. It was while Lhevinne
was still a young boy at the mu-sic
conservatory that the gi"uff old man
first heard Lhevinne play. Soon after
an order was issuea mat inevinne
was to play the Beethoven "Emperor
Concerto" at the next public concert.
Overwhelmed at the honor con
ferred upon him so suddenly, Lhevln
ne decided there and then that he
never could do it. . But he knew he
had. to, which makes all the difference
in the world with one's decision. So
he prepared himself -for the ordeal
with seven hours' daily practice.
The fatal day arrived. To make
matters worse, it was rumored that
Tschaikowsky would be In the audi
ence. Lhevinne found himself blindly
facing the audience. Then he found
himself seated before the piano. His
knees were trembling and as far
beyond his .control as if they had be
longed to another person. - But the
opening bars of the concerto suddenly
made him forget his audience and his
fright. After the performance, he
found himself being publicly em
braced by the great Rubinstein him
self. -
"Very good', very good!" boomed the
voice of the master. "Work hard! you
will make a name In the world."
However, Rubinstein did not like
his name. "'You- must change it," he
arbitrarily declared one day. "It
doesn't sound well and a well sound
ing name Is always to an artist s
advantage." :
"When you were a boy your name
did' not sound as well as it does to
day," Lhevinne made answer. "Per
haps some day my name will sound
better than It does now."
Rubinstein laughed. "Well, we shall
see, my boy," he replied. "Work
hard. That Is more than the name
at present."
