The second orchestral number of
le concert will be Saint-Saens' Suite
rom Henry VIII. The one French
mposer fitted to rank with the clas-
ic masters of the symphony, Salnt-
tens, sought expression through the
ram a. "Iltnry VIII" was produced
t the opera In 1883, but did not get
hearing In England for more than
nother decade. In this opera, Saint
lens, who at times adhered to the

tlc structure, experimented with the
pertolre of the Paris opera. It rep-
esents at Its best the composer's

ion.

With an aria, "Ah rendiml," from
"Mltrant" (Rossi), Cyrena Van Gor
don, contralto of the Chicago Opera
company, will open her programme
at the public auditorium tomorrow

Miss Van Gordon won a sensational
success in Chicago and later ehe sang
the same role before an audience of
12.000 In the open air at St. Louis.
The St. Louis Courier, speaking of
that event, eaid that her statuesque
beauty of figure and face eeemed
planned by the gods for just such a
performance under the stars and
vaulted blue. Every aria won rounds
of enthusiastic applause."
COXCEnT OP NOTE, OCT. 30.
"Miss Henrlette Michaelson, the
clever Russian pianist, who gave her
first London concert at Eolian hall,
proved herself to be highly ac
complished in the technique of her
art, her numbers showing great beauty
as well as skill In Interpretation." So
stated the London Times concerning
the English debut of Miss Michael
son. who will appear as co-artlst with
Mrs. Susie Fennell Pipes, well known
Portland violinist. In a trio of Sun
day afternoon muslcales at the Little
theater, the first to be October 30.
"Miss Michaelson seemed in thor
ough sympathy with the style of art
which aims chiefly at producing im
pressions of color which must be
made definite to the hearers without
a too positive definition on the part
of the player," the London Times con
tinued. "She was particularly effec
tive in her Brahms number, where she
caught and kept its impulse, letting
details fall Into place."
The first of the Pipes-Mlchaelson
concerts will be devoted entirely to

SOUVAINE CONCERTS ARRANGED
Henry Souvalne, the distinguished
American pianist, will appear In a
series of recitals, assisted by other
eastern musicians, including vocalists,
in the public auditorium November 7
15, with a special Invitational piano
recital, November 9, under auspices
of the G. Johnson Piano company
of this city.
Mr.. Souvalne was born In Salt Lake
City, Utah, and at an early age showed
remarkable promise as a violinist.
He gave his first recital when 8 years
old, but the strings cut such deep
grooves In his small fingers that
history repeats itself! be turned to
the smooth ivory keys of the piano.
Practically his entire musical educa
tion was received in America, chiefly
in New York city, where bis debut
as a pianist took place April 30, 1920.
Mr. Souvalne has been heard ex
tensively in France, Italy and Ger
many. During the last season he ap
peared more than 200 times, giving
recitals In New York, Boston, Cleve
land, Washington, D. C; Detroit, Buf
falo, Rochester, Cincinnati and other
pieces. Everywhere he has impressed
bis hearers as one of the most in
teresting American talents that has
appeared In years, not only because
of his full mastery of his chosen in
strument, but the very evident sin
cerity and individuality of his inter
pretations. Mr. Souvalne has a deep
faith in the potential possibilities of
American music, in which he has
made special research. The coming
aeason he will play several all-Amer-lcan
programmes on his tour, end he
has accepted several engagements
with orchestras.
In connection with these Souvalne
recitals a film-picture entitled "Im
mortalized," the story of the realiza
tion of a musical dream, will be
scown. one notable picture of the
series will show the assembling of
the audience and a concert of the
National Symphony orchestra. Car-
negle hall. New York city, withBo-
aanzicy conducting.
BUSS BYRD'S CONCERT NOV. .
Miss Winifred Byrd. the Oregon
New York piano star, will be heard
in concert in the Heilig theater
Wednesday night, November 9, un
der direction of William T. Fangle.
It would take columns of space to
quote the praises Miss Byrd has re
ceived everywhere she has played.
Suffice It to say few other pianists
since the coming of Paderewskl have
attracted so much favorable com
ment on both personality and play
ing In such a short time. This di
minutive pianist is as modeBt as she
is tiny and takes her rise to fame In
the manner which indicates her hu
mility toward her great art.
Among phrases coined about Miss
Byrd by newspapers of the east and
west are these: "Paderewskl might
call her the "Little devil of the key
board.' " "The most interesting per
sonality In the field." "This sprite
of a woman took thunders from the
keyboard." "She is the Puck of
planodom. "She electrifies her audi
ence." "She plays amazingly easy."
"Captivated fcer audience." "Her
technique is marvelously perfect."
"There Is nothing, childish about her
when she begins to play."

the Oregon music teachers' conven

SOPRANO ON TOUR SUCCEEDS.
Katharine Neal Simmons, the Port
land soprano, was engaged October
11 for a concert at Springfield, Mass
at the dedication of the new Shrine
temple Me'.ba temple. Mystic Shrine
of that city, and sang with success.
Her Indian costume numbers were a
treat to the New Englanders. The
Springfield Dally Republican says:
"The singer gave a pleasing account
of herself. The Indian numbers were
Interesting to the extreme. People
who have not yet heard Lieurance's
"Waters of Minnetonka" should hear
it as sung last night. They have a
decided pleasure in store for them."
The Springfield Daily Union said:
"Singer delights large audience. Her
genuine Indian costume smacked of
the wild forest and Indian lore. She
charmed ehe audience into the high
est appreciation of her art."
Mrs. Simmons has been invited to be
soloist in a famous historical church
of London, England. While giving
her concert at Banff. Canada, among
the audience was the rector of this
church, St. Peter Upon Cornhlll, the
church with the organ played by Men
delssohn. Dr. Doughty, the rector, was
Impressed by Mrs. Simmons' inter
pretation of "Elegie" (Massenet) and
the invitation was the result. Mrs.
Simmons left Springfield October 12
for Boston.
HACKETT HAS MANY TASTES.
Ask Arthur Hackett. tenor, who
will sing at the Portland symphony
concert In this city, November 2, to
talk about his work, and within a few
minutes he will be discussing books,
or nature, or the latest play, or some
other subject equally removed from
hisjown professional activities. True,
Mr. Hackett does talk about music,
but seldom about his own share in it.
The art in general Interests him
vitally. He Is always, ready to dis
cuss the latest works produced in
opera house or concert hall, and, al
though It is generally supposed that
singers are Interested only in vocal
music, this is far from the case with
this particular singer. He knows
the symphonies from Haydn to Mo
zart and Beethoven and Brahms, down
to those written by living composers.
He can place a theme from these
works as quickly as he can place a
theme from any of the song writers.
Like the great baritone, Campanart,
who began his career as a 'cellist in
the Boston symphony orchestra,
Arthur Hackett might have begun his
as a violinist in the same organiza
tion. Perhaps it is his command of
the violin that helps him in his sing
ing, to phrase a passage with a
fluency Beldom attained except
through a stringed, instrument. It is
Mr- Hacketfs belief that the musician
who has command of but one branch
of his art always will be limited In
his work. He also believes that
every artist should be interested in
other Intellectual matters than those
.concerned with his profession. This
is why he is so often seen, both in
New York and when on tour, brows
ing around the book shops or listen
ing to a good play. For, it is only the
best in literature and in the drama
Just as It is only the best in music,
that claims Mr. Hackett's serious at
tention. TENOR STAR IS FEATURED.
Umberto Sorrentino, the distin
guished operatic tenor who is com
ing from New York to appear as
guest-artist with the Portland Opera
association when it presents Verdi's
"The Masked Ball" at the public
auditorium November 18 and 19, has
a strong, robust lyric voice of wide
range and wonderful quality, accord
ing to the critics who have written
enthusiastically about him.
"Temperament is Sorrentino's dom
inating characteristic," writes one,
i Itsftlf through a
voice of natural melody, refined and
embellished with all that is best in
the art of song. , Culture has not
dulled the spontaneity and youthful
effervescence of Sorrentino's song,
but its exuberance is finely tem
pered with the taste and discrimina
tion of the true student. So perfect
ly controlled Is Sorrentino's voice that
it all seems a gift of nature. Those
delicate gradations of tone, spun out
to the merest thread of melody, that
lovely, smoothly flowing legato and
the contrasting vibrancy and reso
nance of the full voice, the tendr
inflections, the loveliness of expres
sion and the warm melodiousness are
a delight."
. Another critic writes: "There is
everything that is colorful about
young Sorrentino's voice. It is of
power and yet capable of tender
dlicacy. His voice is lyrio in quality,
abounding in temperament and ex
quisitely manipulated." . "
Sorrentino will sing the role of
Richard, for which the composer
created many beautiful arias.
APOLLO ARTISTS CHOSEN.
For Its artists to bef presented dur
ing the coming season, the Apollo
club male chorus has made a depar
ture from past traditions by lnclud'
ing instrumentalists at one of the
concerts. Heretofore all artists pre
sented have been singers. In view
of the high standing of this organi
zation, the Zoeliner string quartet,
the innovation undoubtedly will be
acceptable and pleasing to all Apollo
club members and patrons.
Mabel Garrison, who opens the sea
son, sang with the club two years
ago and was pronounced one of the
greatest artists who has ever ap
peared with the club.
For the final concert in April, 1922,
Herbert Gould, basso, will make his
initial Portland appearance. Mr. Gould
Is one of the newer concert singers
and is heralded as a young basso of
unusual gifts, with all the necessary
qualifications of the great concert
singer. Last spring he appeared with
the Chicago Apollo and Chicago Men
delssohn clubs and created unusually
favorable Impressions.
Club rehearsals now are In prog
ress. The attendance Is large and en
thusiastic and an unusually success
ful season is in prospect for the club.
William H. Boyer is retained as con
ductor and E. E. Coursen, William C.
McCulloch ansa, Ralph W. Hoyt as ac
companists. .

of a new song Just out, with lyrics
by Marion W. Pond, and musical
score by Elma A. Lutgen. As the
title suggests. It is a song of baby
hood, with dainty, homelike words
to suit the theme, and tuneful mu
sic, sparkling and easy to sing, to
go with the words. The new song
ought to meet with favor, especially
as an encore. The compass of the
music is within the reach of ordi
nary singing voices, Is set in the key
of F, and its range is from common C
to one F on the fifth line of the
treble clef.

In the death of Dr. Zimri M. Parvln,
musical instructor, specialist in har
mony and musical composer, Oregon
has lost one of its most esteemed
veteran musicians. He died at his
late home, 461 Vt East Eleventh street,
last Thursday from an attack of apo
plexy. Born in Indiana 78 years ago,
the late Z. M. Parvln, a doctor of
music, served with distinction In the
civil war and was one of the best
known singers in the veterans' male
quartet that has been a favorite for
many years in this state at Grand
Army and pioneer reunions. The late
Dr. Parvln was president of the North

are now living. Her recent appear
ance at the Sunday morning sym

complimentary notices. The orchestra
of 75 musicians under Guterson gave
her a splendid accompaniment of the
aria "Ritorno VincUor." from "Alda."
and Friml's "The Bubble." These two
songs were the ones Mrs. Polltz sang
at her last presentation concert
given by Mrs. Reed at the Heilig the
ater. Mrs. Polits was recalled three
times after her extra number to re
spond to the prolonged applause. The
Los Angeles Express said: "Mrs. Her
man Polltz. dramatic soprano, was a
most delightful surprise. She sang
Ritorno Vincitor,' from Verdi's 'Alda'
with poise, clarity pf tone and excel
lent expression." The Herald said:
"Mrs. Herman Polltz bright, blonde,
serenly confidant in her artistry, and
