WHEN one considers the various
musical clubs of Portland. In
which both met and women,
are active and associate members, it
Is apparent that these organizations
are important factors in the social
and cultural life of this city.
Such musical clubs stamp Fort
land's music with a spirit of mutual
co-operation, helpfulness and llve-
snd-lotlive. In addition to buying
tickets for the series of concerts by
eastern artists, in the Heillg theater,
public auditorium and elsewhere
these home musicians themselves sing
sind play at their own concerts and
recitals, and pour additional money
Into channels of business. This trade
In mus.'c bought at music houses,
both Instrumental and vocal; salaries
paid to club conductors, piano accom
panists, and solo-artists; rent of re
hearsal and recital halls; club dues
for membership, and other charges,
pour away thousands o9 dollars year
ly to help pay Portland's .musical
hills. The warm friendships formed
by musical club members because of
the intimate ties of home music
last a lifetime, and must be experi
enced to be fully understood.
The Portland Opera association,
founded about eight years ago, is
composed of Portland singers who are
not professional opera people that
is, people who make their living ex
clusively from operatic appearances
hut singers who are educated and
trained in this their home town, to
appear in productions of opera. The
'association has staged successful
productions of such operas as "Romeo
and Juliet," "Mignon," "Fra Diavolo,"
'The Elixir of Love." "The Masked
Ball," and others. Principals, chorus,
ballet, orchestra and conductor, all
make their permanent homes in this
city.
The association has ever paid its
debts, with a surplus In the treas
ury. Its artistic successes have been
flashed over the entire United States.
Much of these artistic triumphs have
been due to the musical genius and
unusual business ability of Mrs. Ed
ward L. Thompson, the president for
several years, and Roberto Corrucclni,
the director and a former professional
operatic baritone. Officers of this
association for 1921-22 are:N Presi
dent, Mrs. E. L. Thompson; first vice
presidenlran Humason. second vice
president, Blaine D. Coles; secretary,
Walter Hardwlck; corresponding
secretary, R. G. Quickenden; treasur
er, Karl Herbelng. Directors, Mrs.
Mitylene Fraker Stites, Judge Kanz
ler, John C. Boyer, Paul Petri, Silas
Vann and Frederick T. Crowther.
The Apollo club, male chorus, was
organized in December, 1908. Prompt
ed by a mutual desire to popularize
the best In male chorus compositions
and to afford a means of developing
the musical and artistic capacity of
themselves and friends, a small group
of Portland men agreed on articles
of association and the 20 charter
members were: Dr. George Ainslie.
Clyde B. Aitchison, Edward L. Bayly.
M. L. Bowman, William H. Boyer,
Louis P. Bruce, John D. Carson, Louis
Dammasch, John Gill, Mark W. Gill,

Claire Montelth, W. A. Montgomery,
F. S. Peirce, Frank B. Riley, C. F.
Bwlgert, Henry Teal, Paul Wessinger
t and Dom J. Zan.
William II. Boyer was selected as
I conductor of the club, and has ever
since held that office. Since 1908 the
Apollo club has given a total of 36
concerts, one of the first taking place
May 6, 1909, in the former Masonic
' temple, West Park and Yamhill
Streets.
The associate list for this season
t numbers nearly 600 and includes
. many of Portland's most prominent
) business and professional musical
patrons. The active membership list
Ib maintained at the limit of 75 now
fixed In the club's by-laws and which
is felt to provide an easily controlled
balance of parts.
Wiliiam H. Boyer has had an im
portant part In the success of the or
ganization In these past 12 years.
His Inherent musical ability has been
developed along with the work of the
club members; and as he himself gen
erously admits, he has drawn inspira
tion from the loyalty and enthusiasm
of the club's rank and file.
Two more concerts are scheduled
for this season February 21, 1922,
with the Zoeilner quartet, strings, and
the other April 11, 1922, with Herbert
Gould, basso.

Schumann-Heink, the great con
tralto, will, eing Monday night, Jan
uary 9, at the public auditorium, un-
der the direction of Steers & Coman.
Her concert admirers say that it
is a matter of indifference as to what
Schumann-Heink sings. She could
doubtless sing- the scale in a manner
that would move her audience to
u a A '. (MacDowe) ; "Murmurlnir Zephyr' (Jen-
smiles or tears, as she willed. Andigen). ..By ,he Water' of Babylon"
here is the secret of her lasting, ( Xedllner) : "SleeD. Holv Child." old
charm. VocaL skill, musicianship, in
tellectuality, all that goes to make
up the supreme artist are incorpo
rated In her. The experience of the
years, the Joys and sorrows, the tri
umphs, and disappointments, have
given her a taste of so much in life.
that she is enabled to voice them in
her art in such a manner as to find
a response somewhere In the heart
of every man. woman and child who
hears her and they are multitude.
To those 'who have heard Schu-
I mann-Heink' elsewhere this season
there seems to be a new note 01
sympathy in her voice; r.ot that she
has not always had this quality more
than the majority of singers, but be
cause now her art is at its ripest.
Whatever many be her years, her
soul will always be-young. Her voice
grows deeper, more wonderful with
the rears. like the deeD. rich tones
or a vionn maae Dy a master, ana
the thrusts of life temper it unttl It
is tuned to the throbbing-, pulsing
I heart of humanity. Eor 42 years
Schumann-Heink has been singing.
AVDITORIVM CONCERT, 3 P. M.
The city's popular concerts after a
short interval will be resumed at 3
o'clock this afternoon in the public
auditorium with Webber's Juvenll
orchestra, an. organization composed
of young lnsumentaliss'as the fea
ture attraction. Webber's aggrega
tion of musicians have always been
one of the most popular attractions
that the city has .presented 'at its
popular concerts, and for that reason
it is expected that a large crowd will
bo on hand to greet the young mu
sicians. Miss Evelyn Drewery, soprano, will
asist. In addition to a programme
of well known selections, the or
chestra will present several novelty
numbers. As an . added attraction,

CHILDREN 8HOW TRAINING.
That the children of this city are
receiving training as concert goers
and critics, through the popular con
certs of the Portland Symphony or
chestra, is attested by the following
reports of the concert of December 2,
sent to the office of the orchestra by
two little girls whose music teacher
took them to the public auditorium
that evening.
The children were not prepared in
advance for the programme, and
wrote their reactions, impromptu,
five days later, without consulting
the programme books during the
writing.
The story of Betty, who is 12 years
of age, is remarkable for the vivid
ness of the pictures she got from
"The Symphony Orchestra":
"The first piece they played was,
'William Teil.' I Just saw the cool
Alps, snow-topped mountains. It felt
like a aummer morning, a very lazy
morning, and then big clouds were
coming and a storm. I was breath
less to see what was going tonappen
next The piccolo" played the light
ening part. I was very amazed, for I
never thought that instruments could
make you see pictures as that piece
d4d. The next was the 'Wand of
Youth.' It has four parts to It. The
second parwas 'Little Bells.' It
sounded like a little schoolhouse bell
calling the children for studying, but
I suppose that swlmmine pools were
calling some of the coys. 'Wild
Bears' was different. It was Just the
opposite from 'Tame Bears.' They
scampered around, chased up trees,
played tag, and Jumped "from bough
to bough. 'Pizzicato' was the best.
I Just loved it, but I didn't get any
picture out of it. But it was charm
ing. 'Molly on the Shore' was too
soft. It didn't burst out, but Just
dragged along like the hand on the
clock drags along the time. Walse
Trlste' had some life to it. Just as I
became excited it stopped."
June, who is 11 years old, entitled
her account "At the Concert," and
her story shows unusual appreciation
of such technical matters as phrasing,
rubato and instrumentation. She
wrote: "I noticed that the Instru
ments all phrased. I could not see
fhow they did it. but I could Just hear
it. In the overture 'William-Tell' the
flute warbled as birds do, and the
triangle sounded Just as cowbells do
In the country. In 'P'zzlcato' they all
kept together, but to make express'on
they did not count evenly. The or
chestra played this very rubato. In
Tame and Wild Bears' the tambourine
was shaken for the music that bears
dance by, and I could almost hear
bears dancing. The church bells could
be heard in 'Kamenoi-Ostrow' as
though it were Sunday morning."

CAMPBELL RECITAL JANUARY 10,
An event of notable mjisical inter
est will be the recital by David
! Campbell, pianist, to be given In the
ballroom of the Multnomah hotel on
the night of Tuesday, January 10.
The programme will be interesting
and full of variety, making heavy
technical demands and calling for
highly developed powers of interpre
tation. Numbers of special interest will be
th" rarely heard but lovely "Bar
carolle" of Chopjn, and one of the
transcendent etudes of Liszt, "lla

Victor Hugo's poem of the same name
is an excellent example of programme

This etude is considered, a "tour de
force" for pianists.
Prior to the recent world war Mr.
Campbell studied piano , for a num
ber of years in Europe, making a
successful debut at Beckstein hall (n
Berlin in 1914. Returning to America
at the outbreak of hostjilfties, he was
active In musical affairs in the west
until enlisting in the A. E. F. Alter
two years' service abroad he re
turned to Portland and is now head
of the piano department and director
of the Ellison-White conservatory of
music. During the past summer Mr,
Campbell had the pleasure and privi
lege of meeting and playing for
Paderewski in California .and re
celved cordial commendation from the
great Polish musician and patriot.
This Is Mr. Campbell's first recital
appearance in Portland since 1917.
POPCLAR SYMPHONY JANUARY 13.
The third of the popular concerts
of the Portland Symphony orchestra
will take place January 13, at the
public auditorium. The . selections
chosen include Bizet, Sibelius and
Saint Saens, in compositions th
have already established themselves
in public approval. It is obvious
from the growing response to the
work of the best composers that the
now popular muat in no sense be con
fused with second rate. The -best
work of the best minds, whether in
music or any other form of art, will
become popular if it can obtain a
hearing. The directors of the sym
phony orchestra association haw been
interested in the demonstration given
to this fact by popular interest in
popular muBical programmes which
have In no sense been selected from
inferior compositions or inferior com
posers. The programme of January
13 is another recognition on their
1-art that the Portland public loves
good music
ALTHOL'SE-PARLOW, JAN. IS.
Paul Althouse, tenor, and Kathleen
Parlow, violinist, will be heard in
Joint recital 'n the public auditorium
January 16, under the auspices of the
tiwyn artist series.
By right of voice and personality
and musical abilities, Paul Althouse
seems to have come into the musical
position destiny intended he should
fill. At 21 years old. this American
was chosen by Gattl-Casazza. general
manager of New York's Metropolitan
Opera company to sing his first roles
In that distinguished institution,
Since that day nine years ago Mr.
Althouse has steadily progressed.
Last season he sang at 81 concerts.
There are few large cities in this
country where this young Pennsyl
vanlan has not lifted his dramatic
tenor voice for the pleasure of the
public. His popularity rests not
alone upon his possession of the
singing gift, and that the 'story" of
the song is something to be Imparted
to his listeners. So, when Paul Alt
bouse sings, the message of the poet
as well as that of the composer
reaches the hearts of his auditors.
It has been bo in the Metropolitan,
and it is so when this American
tenor appears in recital or in any of
the big music festivals where he is
annually in demand.
FROM MILLINER TO SOLOIST.
To rise in ten years ttom a mllllaer
to be a concert soloist for surely
anyone who appears in New York as
soloist with the New York Symphony
orchestra under Walter DamrosCh
'may be called a concert soloist is
the story of Frieda Klink, who is
making her name known far and wide
as an outstanding artist among the
younger contraltos.
- "There is only one thing for any
woman to do who wants to succeed
as a Binger," Miss Klink recently de
clared to a reporter who Interviewed
her while she was on tour with the
New York Symphony orchestra, sing
ing Flosshilde in excerpts in concert
form from Wagner's "Das Rhein
Kold." "She must foreet all feminine
fads and foibles like short skirts anif
bobbed hair these never made an
artist and work, work, work.
"I was the youngest of a family of
nine children," Miss Klink continued.
"My father died when we were
young and mother had to open a
small hat ehoD to make a livtnir. In
that shop I worked day and nightrl
and with the little pin money I had I
learned a few things about the piano.
All the time I was also trying to
cultivate my voice, which early in
my career showed signs of amounting
to something.
"When mother died I took my
career in my own hands and started
for New York. I was lucky from the
start and immediately got a place
In a church choir at a rather decent
Barary for a novice. With this in
come I began to study in earnest.
It was an uphill job, but at last I was
ready to test my mettle in a debut re
cital before the most critical audi
ence in the world a New York aifdi
ence. And I went over. Y'es. the
critics were good enough to commend
my efforts to become a concert
artist, and this year, when I gave
my second recital at Aeolian hall,
they were even more encouraging.
After my first recital my work came
to the attention of Walter Damrosch.
with the result that I was engaged
to sing at the big festival of the
New York Oratorio society .at the
Manhattan Opera-house. New York.
It was my first real chance, and I
made good."
To what extent Miss Klink made
good may best be Judged by .the fact
that since her appearance at that
important festival, this season, among
other engagements, she has sung In
Indianapolis, Washington. D. C; Bal
timore, Philadelphia, New York and
Boston, and always with the same un
varying mounting success.
Miss Klink was questionedf urther
about her rules to succeed.
"A woman of ambition in one cer
tain line should devote all her time to
the attaianient of that one thing," she
declared. "This possibly cannot be
better Illustrated than by the women
who went alter the vote and got It."

cigarettes, but did not turn up his
nose at bad ones. Wolff, the com
poser, used to tell a story about
Brahms' cigarettes, says London Tld
Bits. Ho had only Just emerged from
the Academy of Music at Vienna when
he ventured to submit one ofi his first
compositions to Brahms, and played
it in his house on the piano. Brahms
was in a cheerful mood and allowed
his approbation of Wolff's composi
tions. As Wolff rose to go, Brahms
asked him whether he smoked; and,
on Wolff's confessing that he did. the
master said: "Then you shall have
something really choice." Brahms
