HEIKETZ PLAYS WEDNESDAY.
In their search for someone to
whom to compare the magic Heifetx.
who plays at the Heilig Wednesday
night, direction Steers & Coman, mu
sic authorities In more than one city
seem to turn Instinctively toFaganinl.
Of course none of us know how
Paganini played, but his name among
violinists has always been like that
of NaDoleon's among generals. Pag-
anlnl did things that no other violinist
of his time did, or so at least the stor
ies say. We nave weird tales of his
uncanny genius; some that take on
the form of legends, like his com
munion with Satan when performing
certain pieces. Many queer things
are written about him, but one ot
them Is surely true; that Is his mar
velous playing. There can be no
doubt of this, for his compositions re
veal what an astounding technic be
must have had. Today his "Violin
Caprices" and other difficult solo
numbers are admittedy taxing things
to perform.
But to link Heifetx's name with
Paganinl's Is not entirely a compli
ment to the young Russian artist.
The 20th century genius Is far more
richly endowed musically than Pag
anlnl ever was. It is probably true
that Paganinl's technical gifts were
no greater than what Heiftz shows
us; nothing can be better than per
fection, and no living violinist has
approached the Russian youth's per
fect violin playing.
APOLLO CONCERT DECEMBER 1.
Under the leadership of its well
known conductor, William H. Boyer,
the Apollo club Is now busily at work
In preparation for the opening con
cert for this season to take place
Thursday. December 1, In the public
auditorium, at which time Mabel,
Garrison, American soprano, of the
Metropolitan Opera company, will be
presented.
Enthusiasm among the active mem
bers of the club Is evidenced by the

Miss Garrison's appearance will
undoubtedly1 prove an irresistible
magnet whictt will draw a large and
brilliant audience of Portland's mu
sical patrons. '
When Mahler's gigantic "Eighth
Symphony" waa presented in Chicago
two years ago yrith a chorus of 900,
and the ChicagoVSymphony orchestra,
Mabel Garrison avas chosen to sing
the difficult sopnano role. She car
ried off the htnors in brilliant
fashion, completely capturing Chi
cago's critics and ipublic alike. The
charming young artist incidentally
astonished her fellow soloists and all
the musicians In Uie orchestra by
singing the entire score from mem
ory. Mr. Stock, the conductor, de
clared he would not have believed It
possible, unless he had actually been
there himself -to see and hear Amer
ica's young prima donna accbmpllsh
the feat. Of her singinir on that oc
casion it is only necessary to repeat
a Una from the Chicatpo American,
which stated: "Garrisorfs exquisite

Miss Genevieve Gilbert announces
a series of informal muslcales in the
BubK & Lane building, 8:30 P. M.
Tuesday, when Miss Gilbert will give
a varied programme of French, Italian
and English numbers. An interesting
feature of the programme will be a
group of English songs that Miss Gil
bert prepared for concert work under
the direction of an eminent New York
vocal coach, who considered these
songs particularly suited to Miss Gil
bert's dramatic soprano voice. The
assisting soloists will be Miss Jessie
McRae, pianist and accompanist, and
Miss Elizabeth Reger, accompanist,
formerly of St. Louis. Miss McRae is
a piano student with Dent Mowrey
and will play selections from the

Lucien E. Becker dedicated to pub
lic worship the 315,000 pipe organ re
cently installed in Sunnyside Congre
gational church, last Sunday morning,
and in a well-selected programme
showed the resources of the- pipe
organ. He played with fine taste and
gave much satisfaction. From the
heavy overture to Rossini's "William
Tell" and Wagner's "Pilgrim's
Chorus" to 'the lighter, daintier gems
like the Schumann "Fraunora" and
MacDowell's "To a Wild Rose." Mr.
Becker's choice of music and his ren
dition of it. were much admired. The
chorus choir, under the leadership of
J. A. Hollingsworth, sang one anthem,
tn good style, and Miss Martha Rey
nolds played the organ accompani
ments. It is a coincidence that Mr.
Becker was installing organist when
this pipe organ was first assembled
in a theater in this city seven years
ago, and gave one -week's successful
recitals on it- -
' i
Miss Doris Hennlngsen's piano tal
ent won her quite a triumph last
Tuesday night, when she was pre
sented by Dent Mowrey In a piano pro
gramme at. the Henningsen residence,
Scott avenue, before about 100 guests
Invited for the occasion by Mr. and
Mrs A- Pi Henningsen. The pro
gramme, which consisted of classical
numbers and selections from the mod
ern French and Russian schools, was
presented in a most praiseworthy
manner. Sincerity, intelligence of in
terpretation, varied tone coloring and
adequate technique made the musicale
one of keen interest throughout. The
spacious music rooms of the Henning
sen residence, which has the distinc
tion of having been the Massachusetts
building during the Lewis and Clark
exposition, lends itself admirably for
such affalra Highly commendable are
private concerts of this nature, where
music of the first class is rendered in
delightful home atmosphere. Their
value In creating a keener apprecia
tion and interest In (pusio cannot be
overestimated. Miss Henningsen is
one of the 12 western students who
studied with Mr. Mowrey in New York
last winter.
Virgil Isham, pianist, presented sev

direction and is now in London, where
she Is giving a series of recitals at
Wigmoret and Albert halls that have
proved unusually successful and have
attracted. a great deal of attention.
According, to a letter received from
Madame Namara, her sudden leap into
stardom came in a flash. In the
words of tile prima donna herself:
I told 'our Mary last spring," she
wrote, that I could do these parts,
but she did riot appear to give much
heed to my enthusiasm. Then about
a month ago, iwhen I was singing for
her one afternoon - In the beautiful
gardens of heri villa -n the Riviera,
she impulsively turned to me and
said, 'You shall 'do Thais. Instead of
myself.' She started- to coach me
herself and was jso pleased with my
work that now l am also to sing

The Cadman Musical Club held Its
regular bi-weekly meeting last Tues
day night at room 701 Eilers building.
The programme consisted of numbers
selected from the works of Italian
composers o the 18th century. Biog
raphies were read by Mrs. Grissen
and Mrs. Freeman. Vocal numbers
were rendered by Mrs. Campbell. Mrs.
Freeman and lira Warren. Mrs.

club will give a musicale at 8:30 P. M..
Thursday, at the home of Mrs. Charles

North. Francis Richter. pianist and
composer, has been engaged and will
be the honor guest and soloist. Mu
sicians and friends of members are
welcome. Further information can
be had from M rs. Carl Grissen, presi
dent of the Cadman club. Main 8314
and Broadway 432.
At a largely attended meeting of
the Monday Musical club, November
7. the musical programme was one of
varied interest and excellently ren
dered. . Francis Richter. with splen
did pianisttc ability, played selections
of his own compositions, one of his
most important numbers being a won
derful improvisation upon a theme of
four measures played by a member
of the club. He developed the thought
in true form, and it took on sonata
principle. Mr. Richter also played
most acceptably upon an ancient "pi
ano" made in London In 1711, and
the music was most interesting. Miss
Gertrude Hoeber, violinist, played
several numbers with fine success;
and the work of the flute trio of
Robert E. Millard, Margaret Laugh
ton and John C. Albett Was a rare
and pleasurable treat. Mrs. Donald
Spencer, manager of the Portland
symphony orchestra, gave an inter
esting address on symphonies and
symphony orchestras In America. The
recital featured American music and
it Is a pleasure to note that much of
the music heard on this occasion was
composed In this city.
Robert Louis Barron, violinist, -in
conjunction with David Campbell,
pianist, and Miss Ida May Cook, piano
accompanist, appeared in an enjoy
able recital in the Portland play
house last Thursday night and their
music delighted a large audience.
The chief number on the finely ren
dered programme- was the Carpenter
"Sonata in G Major," played by Mr.
Campbell, piano, and Mr. Barron, vio
linist. This is a difficult sonata to
play, and represents the modern
school, but it has much to recom
mend It as a work or art, although it
possesses a near-absence of easily
understood, tonal beauty. It was well
played, and the ensemble work was
admirable. In the other three por
tions of the programme Mr. Barron
was the soloist, the chief features be
ing the charming Vieuxtemps "Con
certo No. 4, in D Minor," thev Vital!
"Ciaccona" and the Tenaglla "Aria."
These and others lived again in charm
and beauty of rendition, the technique
being cleverly hidden In the violin
art. - It was a message of culture and
impressionistic concept. Mr. Barron
worked hard and studied much for
this recital, and is entitled to a good
deal ot musical credit. Miss Cook
played as accompanist, with true pi
anistic skill, in which she kept her
own personality in reserve and ever
wove the accompaniments as second
to the song of the violin. All three
musicians were cordially received.

Reed will be at 8:15 P. M., December
13. The programme will "consist of
holiday numbers, among which will
be "March of the Magi Kings" (Du

The first event ef the musical
course scheduled for the Oregon
normal school, Monmouth, Or., fea
tured David Campbell, pianist, and
Erwyn Mutch, baritone, both promi
nent musicians of Portland, last
Wednesday night. The programme
showed a wide range and called for a
high degree of versatility on the part
of both soloists. Mr. Campbell played
with authority and brilliance, and
especially well received were "The
Fountain" (Ravel) and the Chopin
group. It was Mr. Mutch's first mus
ical appearance in Monmouth and he
fulfilled all the expectations created
In advance. The aria, the "Eri tu,"
from Verdi's "The Masked Ball." was
notably well sung, also "The Car
nival" (Foudraln) and "The Bird of
the Wilderness" (Horsman).
