matinee the Baker theater man
agement will offer for at least
one week's run "The Trail of the
Lonesome Pine," which will be the
sixth consecutive year that this play
will have been presented to the Port
land public.
Walter B. Gilbert, director of the
Baker players, eaid yesterday that It
was almost like second nature to
have the. opportunity each year to
put on this Play, taken from the pop
ular novel by Jonn Fox Jr. Gilbert,
who has been director of the Baker
stock company for ten years, said the
coming- production would surpass ail
previous performances In this city
from a stagecraft and histrionic
viewpoint. He took occasion to laud
the Baker players or the presem sea
eon as well as give special mention
to his stage carpenters, who have
turned out unusually excellent work.
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine"
calls for clever staging, and Mr. Gil
bert, his assistant. Walter Corry, and
others are hard at work to make
this production of Eugene Walker's
notable play a classic.
The play is a thrilling adventure
tnr nnr Innr acts, the scenes 01
which take place in the Cumberland
mountains In Virginia. Charlotte
Walker, wife of the playwright,
played the leading feminine role
when the play had Us premiere in
New York, at the New Amsterdam
theater, and W. S. Hart, now notable
on the screen, played the role of Judd
Tolliver.
Miss Leona Powers, leading woman
of the Baker company, will be seen
In the role enacted in the original
company by Mrs. Walker, and Selmer
Jackson in the role created by Hart.
The Portland Parent-Teacher asso
ciation has taken the Baker theater
for next Thursday.
day afternoon and Friday night to
those who attended the historical cy
cle when Florence Easton contributed
her lovely voice as soloint.
These concerts, which may have
been a little quiet in mood during
the opening programmes in works de
voted entirely to Haydn, Mozart and
their contemporaries, proved to be
most absorbing later in the season
and offered some extraordinary op
portunities for comparisons and ex
expositions. Indeed, not the least in
teresting group of the entire cycle
was the pair of concerts devoted to
American composers, and again It
may be emphasized that these works
stood with all worthiness and excel
lence by the side of anything that has
been brought forth during the season.
This does not mean that we have
Brahms or a Beethoven, hut it does
mean that neither a Strauss nor any
other composer should be permitted to
usurp the best places on every pro
gramme and such works as Mr. Dam
rosch was able to offer should be
compelled to lie in durance vile for
one such presentation as he gave.
We have enjoyed the great skill of
Willem Mengelberg, and all join in
the hope that we will have him long
and often, perhaps permanently, but
many also express the hope that Mr.
Mengelberg may be Induced to look
further than a repertory of German
music.
At his hands the programmes of the
National Symphony orchestra have
been one repetition after the other of
Beethoven, Brahms, Richard Strauss
and Richard Wagner. These have
been interspersed with a very few
performances of music from Russia,
everything else being negligible. The
day for that sort of thing is over and
no man has the right to come to this
country for the purpose of doing over
again what has been done in the na
ture of a political propaganda.

of farewells has forecast the end of

There were cheers upon cheera for
IMonteux. of the Boston orchestra,
who as well has made himself loved
by the audiences which have been
as steadfast in their attendance as
ever. It is a Joy to. know that he
will "return next season, again to
head the orchestra which he has made
such an extraordinary body of play
ers in an incredible length of time.
The Boston Symphony orchestra is
the only one that undertakes to carry
through its season without the aid
of soloists, and there is no doubt that
Jf the orchestra were to return to the
old rule, the audiences would grow
apace. The custom, if memory serves
right, was dropped following the
autocratic commands which caused
offense to that great artist, Josef Hof-
mann, and the conductor of that day
then and there ruled that he wanted
r.o soloists. His rule is over, why not
return to more genial conditioner
Orchestra Holds Own.
It is unfair to Monteux and to the
Sostonians to say that they have suf
fered a falling off -in patrons, because
if there is a noticeable difference it
is on account of the added glamor
soloists contribute to other concerts,
not on account of any inferiority of
that splendid, time-honored old or
chestra, which is infinitely greater
than the individual who succeeded in
working up a personal as well as a
national propaganda.

several guises, not the least Impres

with which the closing concert of the
children's series was met.. The New

genial conductor, made its adieu on
