fllE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND," MAY 15, 1921
IN a short time the music season of
3 9:10-21 will have drawn to a close,
and it has been a busy one. With
three or four exceptions, the pro
gramme of future musical events
this section consists principally of
students' recitals.
Several of these recitals have been
held these past three weeks, and
many more are slated. These recitals
of Portland musical students, vocal
and instrumental, are excellent af
fairs and reflect credit on the various
students and professional instructors
participating- in them.
In some particulars these recitals
Could be imrw-oved, if the rule were
absolutely insisted upon that there
should be no encores, or extra num
bers rendered, and no floral bouquets.
At two recent musical recitals in this
city, at tire conclusion of numbers
the audience gave them only faint
applause, yet the proud soloists im
mediately marched back to the plat
form and sang: extra numbers remark
able for wearisome length.
'Uher reasons why encores are
sometimes not wise are: Programmes
are made up in advance and measured
as to length, and if added to, the re
cital is too long: and the young solo
1st. after singing his allotted number,
may be just a little tired out, and
therefore cannot do justice to exira
music.
At four recent recitals the floral
bouquets from proud relatives to stu
dents were mostly of a gorgeous and
expensive character and were really
works of art. Some other students
were handed in plain view of the
audience small floral bouquets that
suffered In comparison with the more
expensive ones, and one or two really
deserving students did not get any
bouquets. What 'were the private
feelings of the girl students who did
not get large floral tributes? Were
not a few tears shed in private after
ward? It would seem, then, that the cur
rent custom of giving floral bou
quets to students at musicales in this
city needs revision.
YOI NG MGERS Wl" FAVOR.
After- several weeks of careful
preparation and rehearsal, Mrs. Fred
L.. Olson, soprano, presented these
soloists in recital last Tuesday night
in the ythian temple auditorium be
fore a large and enthusiastic aud
ience: Miss Zulah M. Andrews, so

Myers, soprano: G. Arthur Peake,
baritone: Miss Olga Huff, soprano;

Kila J. Welch, mezzo soprano.
Miss Ida May Cook was piano ac
companist, and Miss Jean Harper,
violinist, and Miss Margaret Laugh
ton, flutist, assisted with obligatos.
All the numbers songs and oper
atic arias were well sung by Mrs.
Olson's students, from memory, and
in fine style. Several admirable in
dividual voices were noted. Chief
amon these musical treats were the
aria "Charmant Oiseau" from David's
"Pearl of Brazil." and sung by Miss
Andross to a charmingly played flute
obligato by Miss Laughton. This
avid aria is an unusually difficult
number, is full of trills,, runs and ca
denzas like a rippling waterfall
and Miss Andross sang it in superb
fashion.
Mrs. Olson was congratulated on the
success of her recital. She is one of
the principal soprano singers of this
city and leads a busy life also by
tinging at many public functions.

A critic on the Kansas City Post
Ptsr said recently of Miss Loughney:
"Miss Loughney possesses a beauti
1U voice, attractive personality, and
sings with great ease and finish. She
completely captivated her audience in
Kay Foster's 'My Menagerie.' which
showed that a nursery rhyme can be
made brilliant and almost dramatic

soloist at the concert to take place at
the public auditorium Wednesday
night. May 18, with the Columbia Male
chorus, Charles Swenson, director.
This concert will wind up the activi
ties of the chorus for the season and
it promises to be an important musi
cal event.
The Columbia Male chorus Is one of
the oldest and best singing organiza
tions in the city and it has featured
as soloists many famous artists.
Madame Swanson Ver Haar was- cho
sen because of the sensational suc
cess she scored as soloist for the great
chorus from the east that toured Swe
den last summer. Everywhere she
was proclaimed a singer with a re
markably beautiful voice and charm
ing personality. Of her the exacting
critic of the Stockholm Daily News
wrote: "Madame Ver Haar, was a
pleasant surprise. She charmed the
public not only with her beauty, but
also with her gorgeous voice. Her
singing is not only dramatic and col
orful but at times shows a fascinating
legato, which delights the lover of
bel canto."
The chorus is larger than ever, more
than 50 voices, and will present a
number of new, magnificent works.
ORPHEUS CHORUS MAY 20.

voices, William Mansell Wilder,

Five singers of fine merit who ap

tions and popular songs, all sung in
costume.
The Sonora company opens its 1921-
22 opera season in St. Paul, Minn.,
August 15.
At the Portland concert, May 25.
the soloists who will then appear in
concert are selected artists from that
organization. During a recent con
cert of the company in Boise the
Idaho Statesman said:
"The stars of the Sonora Grand
Opera company who' appeared at the
Pinney gave something more than a
concert. Their performance was
brightened by their costumes that
fitted the parts they sang . and by
their gesturing until the transported
listener could almost build about
them, in imagination, the environ
ment that fitted the song. The aud
ience seemed, to be deeply apprecia
tive, encoring the artists repeatedly
and begging at the end for more
music than the time limits of the pro
gramme would permit them to have.'
VOICES PLEASE AUDIENCE.
In compliment to their many
friends, Mr. and Mrs. George Hotch
kiss Street presented several voice
students in recital in Lincoln high
school auditorium last Wednesday
night and gave much pleasure to the
large audience that attended. Mrs.
Arthur Strickland was accompanist.
and played wen.
The programme stated: "Our stu
dent recitals are primarily to find out
what students can do before a public
assemblage, for the express purpose
of taking their measure, as students.
. The various voices heard, those of
junior and senior singers, are all
pleasant to hear and of good quality.
The examples of voice training show
kindness and patient skill on one
hand, and willing co-operation on the
other.
Soloists presented were Miss Bess
Smith, Sliss Helen Livoff. Miss Marie
Corhouse. Miss Edith Hagg, Miss
Margery Myers, Clare Heath, Mrs.
Roy Baxter, Miss Delia Allen, Arthur
Strickland, Mrs. Irene Aiieman and
Paul Gelvin.
One of the remarkable voices among
these young singers is that of Paul
Gelvin, tenor. In. these latter days,
when real tenors are rare, it is a joy
to hear a tenor voice of the excel
lence of Mr. Gelvin's. It is of heroic,
big quality, with smooth tone emis
sion and under good control. Mr.
Gelvin can sing well either in ora
torio or operatic work, as a church
choir soloist with greater experi

THE HARDfNGS LIKE OPERA.
Wrhen Woodrow Wilson was presi
dent he proved one of the steadiest
theater-goers of all the presidents,
and he also like melodrama and cleart
comedy. Now come President and Mrs.
Warren G. Harding with an equally
keen liking for the theater and a
frank admission that they want to go
to "the show" if they can make it.
Mrs. Harding's preference Is said to
be for -musical shows, and recently
with the president and their party,
she occupied a box at Poll's theater
in Washington, D. C, at a perform
ance of "II Trovatore" by the San
Cario Grand Opera company, says the
New York Telegraph.
v The president and Mrs. Harding on
this occasion were guests of Madame
Sofia Charlebois, prfma donna of the
company, and in private life Mrs. For
tune Gallo. a California girl who has
long enjoyed the friendship of Mrs.
Harding. The grand opera week in
Washington. D'. C, was the largest
and most fashionably attended for
many years, and the sudden demon
stration of interest in big music
drama in the capital has already
raised the question whether Wash
ington, D. C, is not the logical city
for an extended winter season of
grand opera.
R. B. CARSON IS IN TEXAS.
Robert Boice Carson, tenor and
choir director, formerly of .this city
and Chicago, is now in the business
end of the musical line and is a well-
to-do impresario at Tulsa, Tex. Mr.
Carson has been six years in Tulsa
since he left this city.
Tulsa is a thriving city of about
100.000 and Mr. Carson's concerts have
been quite successful. Next season he
is bringing to Tulsa John McCormack,

trols six other cities musically, and
he also keeps up some of his private
vocal teaching.
Mr. Carson's student. Laura Fer

Mr. Carson writes that, while he is
happy in Tulsa, he misses his Port
land friends and the "lovely Pacific
coast climate." Mr. and Mrs. Carson

several weeks next July and August.
PORTLAND SOPRANO IN TEXAS.
Katherine Neal-Simmons. soprano
and specialist in songs of the Amen-
can Indian, and who. up to her hus
band's recent death, was located in
this city, now makes her home at
Paris, Tex.
Of late Mrs. Simmons has resumed
her musical activities 'in different
cities in Texas, and has made good.
The most important recent musical
work done by Mrs. Simmons was to
sing for the Harmony club of Fort
Worth, Tex., the, largest musical club
in the state. She sang for the benefit
of the silver national jubilee of the
National Federation of Music clubs.
The magnitude of this club's work
was demonstrated last year when
they gave Caruso $25,000 guarantee
for a concert, built him a J1000 sound
proof, dressing-room and had $5000
left in their treasury. Mrs. Simmons
also sang for the Lions' club and
two of the large churches First
Presbyterian and Broadway Presby
terian. Of -the criticisms this one
is most significant: "It is not only
her singing that wins for her the
plaudits of the public; it is the Intel
lect behind Mrs. Simmons' singing.'-
Fort Worth Record. At San Angelo
Mrs. Simmons gave a concert, also as-
sisted in organizing a permanent

SYMPHONY WINS NEW' HONORS.
The visitf the Portland Symphony
orchestra to appear in concert May 7
to heln dedicate the new woman's
building of the University of Oregon,
Eugene, Or., was quite a notable mu-
sical occasion. The concert was
hitrhlv lauded.
Mrs. Donald Spencer, manager of
the orchestra, was one of the prin-
cipal factors in accomplishing this
visit of the orchestra to Eugene. She
made all the business arrangements.
personally. Many of the symphony
orchestra men are engaged in busi
ness in this city and it required Mrs.
SnpnrAr'a tact and diDlomacv to se
cure from employers permission for
these musicians to accompany tne or-
chestra on tour. Once at Eugene, the
concert concluded and dinner an-
nounced, Mrs. Spencer had to make

"The large audience which greeted
the appearance of the Portland Sym
phony orchestra at the auditorium in
the new woman's building on the
University of Oregon campus, May 7,
voiced its approval and appreciation
throughout the programme," writes
a Eugene, Or., correspondent of The
Oregonian. The concert was a rit-
ting cnmax 01 tne
cises held at the completion of the
woman's building, now the finest
structure on the university campus.
From the intricate and beautiful
movements of the 'New World' sym
phony to the dashing 'Triumphal
March' by Halverson, the concert
proved to be in truth 'the musical
event of the season.'
"Under the skilled direction of Carl
Denton, conductor, the orchestra
played the various numbers with
pleasing . effect. David Campbell,
Diano soloist with the orchestra,
measured up fully to the expectations
raised by the praise given mm Dy
critics before his appearance in Eu
gene. Mr. Campbell displayed his
remarkable technique and interpre
tative ability in his rendition of the
piano concerto by Tschaikowsky.
With the able accomnaniment by the
orchestra, this number was probably
the most striking or tne wen

Mrs. Hallie Parrish Hinges, who has
been the vocalist of the open-air con
certs given by thq band in Willson
park for the last four years, has an
nounced that she will not sing this
summer, says the Salem (Or.) Jour

appropriated by the taxpayers every
year for these concerts, and the vo
calist has been recompensed from
the remainder of the funds left after
the musicians have been paid. An
insufficient amount of money this
season has prevented Mrs. Hinges
from getting new music and having
it raised to the necessary pitch re
quired for such concert singing.
