L'SIC lovers In this section are
looking forward with eager
nterest to the coming of the
...os Angeles Philharmonic orchestra,
which, unde r the baton of Walter
Henry Rothwell. will be heard In con
eert In the public auditorium Tues
day night. The coming of this fa
mous western orchestra is creating
even more talk than usual, coming as
it does so close to the visit of the
New York Philharmonic orchestra,
heard last week.
No other orchestra in the world has
trgun its life as auspiciously as has
the Los Angeles organization.
Founded but two years ago under the
patronage of W. A. Clark Jr., son of
the late Senator Clark of Montana,
multi-millionaire copper king, the
orchestra has prospered under the
generous financial backing of the
Clark millions. The biggest musi
cians of the day have been recruited
for the Los Angoles forces, 60 of the
75 musicians wh make up the per
sonnel of the orchestra being con
cert soloists on their various instru
ments. Such names as Richard
. Huhlig, pianist; Sylvain Noack, violin
ist, concert master of the orchestra;
Km He t'erir, violinist; Liya Bronson,
'rellist: appear in the Los Angeles
philharmonic ranks.
At the Portland concert Tuesday
r.ight, two soloists will be featured,
Madame Elisabeth Hothwell, dra
matic soprano, and Mr. Buhltg. pian
ist. Both are artists of international
musical reputation. Madame Roth
well will be remembered as the prima
donna who some 12 years ago created
the role of "Madame Butterfly" when
the Savage grand opera compan'.' in
troduced that opera to American
music lovers. She has won fame in
both opera and concert In American
and European musical fields.
Mr. Buhlig also is well known,
being one of the foremost pianists of
our day. His series of seven histor
ical recitals last season In New York
has been accounted one of the most
satisfying treats undertaken In years
by any artist.
The programme to be rendered by
the orchestra with Mr. Rothwell con
ducting will be a particularly enjoy
able one. It is entirely different in
character from that given last week
by the New York Philharmonic, but
so carefully has it been chosen that
it will give play to almost every
phase of orchestral possibility.
The chief musical event of the eve
ning will be the famous Tschaikow
sky "Fifth Symphony in E Minor," at
once the joy and the despair of sym
phonic organizations. Then will fol
low a Llsst concerto for piano and
orchestra, with Mr. Buhlig as soloist.
Madame Rothwell will sing tne
rla from "Lohengrin,' Elsa s
r,.,m" nd the Btirring overture
from "Tannnauser" (Wagner) will
bring the programme to a close.
The Portland concert, as well as
the entire Pacific northwestern book
ings for the orchestra, are under the
direction or tne wwju v-"
reau of this city.
At'DITORIUM Ml" SIC TODAY.
Interest center about the appear
ance of Douglas Smith, boy soprano
of Chicago, and Hugo Goodwin, an
organist of national note, in conjunc
tion with the grea.t Pathe natural
color film. "Behold the Man," In the
public auditorium today. These two
artists will sing at the afternoon and

MRS. JESSE'S RECITAL MAY 6.
Ella Connell Jesse, who gives a
piano recital at the Little theater Fri
day night, has announced a pro
gramme of such exceptional musical
merl( that It places her in the front
rank of Paeifio northwest pianists.
Mrs. Jesse's opening number is the
Brahms "Sonata Op. 1." It was with
this same sonata that the composer
introduced himself to the musical
world In 1453, playing before Robert
Schuman. In his famous article on
Brahms, Schuman writes of the occa
sion: "Sitting at the piano,-he pro
ceeded to reveal to us wondrous
regions and transformed the piano
into an orchestra of walling and jubi
lant voices."
Mrs. Jesse's second number will be
the "Sonatine" (Ravel), as dainty
and suave asthe sonata Is meaty and
vigorous, and the two contrast as do
the souls of the countries which gave
birth to their composers. Her third
group will Include Weber's "Rondo
Brllliante," which DePachman has
made famous, and a dainty, melodius
trio of Chopin, a "Prelude in E Major,
valse in F Minor" and "o Minor
Ballade."
Those who have been fortunate
enough to hear Mrs. Jesse since her
return from a winter .spent studying
in New York are warm In their praise
and her concert May 6 should be a
rare treat for music lovers in Port
land.

SALARY ClOOO PKR'COSCEHT.
Now that the New York Philhar
monic orchestra has dazzled and de
lighted lovers of frood music in this
city, and has gone on its tour to win
continued triumphs, it' is seasonsble
to indulge in a few after reflections
all of a favorable nature.
The programme of musical selec
tions was good, but too heavy. It
lacked one light, pretty number for
the strings, something from Delibe,
Saint Saens, or dainty ballet music.
If one of the latter had been played
as an extra number, the dignity of
the stately orchestral offering would
not have suffered
The chief neverrtc-be forgotte
gem of the concert was. the instan
taneout intonation of the whole or
chestra, playing as one. That alon
was one valuable object lesson.
The personality of the- conducto
Josef Stransky. stamped with hi
renius each number played, and the
result showed that all the interpreta
Mors have their Inner being In the
conductor,
"Our orchestra probably never will
be heard In concert in this clt
again." said Mr. Stransky, before he
loft for the train. "This trip to th
west was accomollahed through th
action of th board of director of
our orchestra, who voted funds for
that purpose. We knew before w
left New York that our box office
receipts would not cover expenses,
Our directors wished to give Amerl
cans, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
a chance to get acquainted with th
kind of music we play."
Mr. Stransky admitted he had re
ceived offer to conduct orchestral
concerts this summer In London an
Paris, but thought he could not accept
as he is too busy In this country-
Asked If it was true he would re
ceive as remuneration for his scrv
loes as conductor at various con
certs of the New Y'ork Philharmonic
next season, the sum of 1M0 per con
cert. Mr. Stransky said: "Yes. I
engaged by the New York Philliar
monic to conduct 40 concerts at $100
per concert, for the first part of th
season. Willem Mengelberg. the Hoi
land conductor, will return from tha
country next February to be con

half of the season."
The reporter ventured the opinion
that t000 was a large fee to conduct
one concert.
n do not think SO," Said Mr,
Stransky, "It has taken the educa
tlon of a lifetime, to make me a con

Is reasonable. Take the case of

"HOME. SWEET HOME." VI.MOXBn,
A glimpse at the little house at
East Hampton, Long Island, that In
spired John Howard Payne's famous
song, and one can easily understand
the longing for home that he felt,"
says the Motor magazine.
The sturdy colonial farmhouse
with its friendly doorway typifies the
home that one dreams of. Ancient
vines have softened the severe walls
of the house, weathered to a silvery
gray, and the windows with their
many panes seem to beckon the vis
itor to spacious rooms within, where
mellowed mahogany and old pewter
reflect the glow of open fires. For
tunately enough, the house Is now
owned by G. W. Buck, an antiquarian
and collector of note, who has endeav
ored to preserve the place in Its orig
inal simplicity.
Wonderful collections of colonial
treasures make the place a veritable
museum. Each room with its huge
fireplace and paneled walls, conceal'
ing secret cubbyholes, contains a col
lection of almost priceless antiques.
furniture, pewter ware and household
implements In use when the house
was new. Mahogany highboys and
brass warming pans, old spinning
wheels and pewter porringers, vie
with each other in claiming the vis
itor's attention. Perhaps most Inter
esting of all is Mr. Buek's marvelous
collection of silver luster ware, the
largest collection of Its kind in the
country outside a museum. Over one
of the old fireplaces la a portrait of
Payne painted by Willard.
A visit to the low-ceilinged rooms
above reveals four-posters of ancient
lineage, each with Its hand-woven
coverlid. There are highboys and
lowboys, rugged old chests with In
teresting pasts if they could but tell
them, and all the Lares and Penates
so dear to a colonial family. Be
tween the gaily colored rag mats one
has a glimpse of warped and time
worn floors hollowed by the tread of
many generations. Throughout the
house there is an air of friendliness
and bygone hospitality which enables
the visitor to slip back into the past
and live for a moment with its pio
neer builders.
It was here, June 9, 1791, that John
Howard Payne was born. He was In
London when he wrote his immortal
ballad, and there is no question that
before his mind's eye rose the straight
facade and homely interior of this lit
tle old house in East Hampton as he
set down In rhythmic phrases the
ome thoughts that have come to mil
lions of exiles in every clime and
country since the world began.

music is working wonders. You
should see them come in, then see
them go out. You should watch the
transformation In .their faces the
applause, the sighs of relief, the effect
afterward.

music can not do everything. It is

e attractive to many Just now. be
cause of Its timeliness. It took the
war to awaken people to the fact
that, musically, America was guided
good deal by Germany. During the
last few years Americans have
learned to appreciate the music of
other nations. Apropos of this. M.
Jean-Aubry's chapter on "French
Music and German Music" is of par-
icular Interest. The author proves
that German art, with Wagner's
death, began to decline, while French
art has broadened and Increased In
richness and variety. Other valuable
dlsCussions are those on "French
Music in England" and the chapter
on "Music and Poetry."
