the Heilig theater Wednesday
night. February t, will open with a
group of movements from Edward
sfacDowell's "Indian Suite." SUcDow
sirs Influence upon American com
posers and interpreters of the compo
sitions of others has been due to his
own magnetic personality and the
breadth of his scholarship. His ap
prenticeship as a student saw him
winning- laurels in the musical centers
ef Kurope, where he studied, both in
France and in Germany. It was his
original intention to live abroad, but
fortunately for the musicians of his
native land, he returned to America
and became, both as a composer and
as a teacher of music, an unmeasured
influence toward musical understand
ing In this country.
MacDowell'a compositions have been
called a pageant of the natural world.
Out-of-door idylls and romantic frag
mtnts In which -the poetry and leg
ends of the romantio period of Oer-
man folk-lore became mingled with
the drama and emotional color of
America's history are characteristic
of MacDowell's output. In the "In
dian Suite." from which the orchestra
will select three movements Wednes
day night, he took the greater part
of the thematic substance of the com
position from melodies of the North
American Indiana He caught the
fundamental spirit of the emotional
life ef a vanishing race. It was not
his Intention to represent these melo
dies as pointing the way toward a
nationalization of American music,
save In a partial and fairly unimpor

to have freed himself from the mu
sical models of his masters and to
have attained his own fully matured
self-expression. The Celtic note of

people who have already
firm the enthusiastic comments of the
critics with which he approach is
heralded.
Since 191!, when Madame Helen
Stanley returned to her native coun
try from her operatic triumphs
abroad, there has not been a year in
which this artist has not added to het
mueieal renown. She was first iden
tided with the Chicago Opera com
pany, singing the principal roles,
among which was the creation of the
part of Prince Charming In "Cendril
lon." by Massenet. This was a sig
nal honor for Madame Stanley, for
not alono had she studied the part
with Massenet, but she had been
chosen by Campanini as the one
singer whose voice was most suited
to encompass the difficult range
which the music demanded. In the
seven years following this triumph
Madame Stanley has sung with nearly
every important orchestra In the
country. Gabrilowitsch first heard
her in recital In Boston and forthwith
engaged her for the Detroit Sym
phony. She has also appeared with
the New York Philharmonic and with
the Cleveland and Chicago sym
phonies. The programme:

MOWREY CONCERT FEBRUARY 0.
Dent Mowrey's newest and most
ambitious composition will be given
its first public audition Thursday
night when he appears in concert in
the Multnomah hotel ballroom.
The composition is a sonata written
in classic form but sparkling with
Mr. Mowrey's own individual spirit of
modern harmonics. Its merit as
music achievement brought glowing
tribute from Albert Wolff, French
conductor at the Metropolitan opera.
New York, and a contract from pne of
Mr. Mowrey's publishers. At a recent
private hearing it proved Itself to be
a work of thrilling beauty and power,
and it is a rare opportunity to hear it
interpreted by the composer. The
pictures which Inspired the compos!
tion stated in a programme note in
Mr. Mowrey's own words which fol
low are vividly painted: "The themes
of this sonata were suggested by the
power of tremendous mountain mas
ses, the calm nobility of great rivers,
the gentle hill sides clothed in deli
cate fairy-like ferns, glimpses into
shaded nooks wherein one surely ex
pects to see the mysterious wood
folk treading a dainty measure on the
moist, silent moss; and last, the lure
of the sun-soaked, painted desert,
dressed like an oriental. In amazingly
contrasting colors by day and at
night softly lit by great stars that
hang down from the sky intimately
not far distant and cold like city
stars. All this In Oregon.
The highly imaginative "Dance of
the Gargoyles of Notre Dame played
here once before by Mr. Mowrey will
also be a welcome number.
Jane Burns Albert, always an es
teemed soloist, will sing two groups
of Mr. Mowrey's delightfly songs.
The first copies of one of the songs.
I Meant to Do My Work Today."
have lust arrived from the press of
Carl Fischer, New York.
Seats are unnumbered at the Mult
nomah hotel, but arrangement has
been made to reserve places where
reservations are made In advance.
COLUMBIA MALES CHORUS FEB. 11.
The Columbia male chorus, Charles
Swenson, director, and Edna Swanson
Ver Haar. contralto, of Chicago, as
soloist, will appear in concert In the
public auditorium Saturday night.
Mamade ver Haar is one of the
most satisfactory concert and ora
torio contraltos before the American
public Since her first professional
appearance four years ago she has
steadily grown In popular favor, the
Increasing demand for her services
keeping pace with her artistic ad
vancement. During this time she has
appeared with leading- orchestras and
choral organizations with unvarying
-nice ess. During the past summer
Madame Ver Haar sang in Sweden as
soloist with the Swedish Choral soci
ety of Chicago and achieved a notable
personal and artistic triumph. This
series of 40 concerts was marked by
a continuous ovation for this talented
artist.
He had no fantastio way In doing
things, but merely listened for the
beautiful in my voice and developed
it, at the same time pointing out
faults and explaining how to over
'ccme them. The principal part of the
process was making me realize where
and how I was wrong. After all,
singing with real music is immeas
urably better than ages of conjec
ture. I do not mean that the student
can omit preparatory work; solfeg
gios and scales are extremely useful.
But why spend years Lreaming- of
theories about which there is dis
pute? Even if, as some authorities
claim, the real old Italian school has
been rediscovered, what is the bene
fit? An art teacher might rediscover
the actual pigments used by Raphael;
but to create a student who could
duplicate the 'Sistine Madonna is
quite another story."
Madame Butt's artistic career has
had much in common with the pro
fessional life of her husband, Ken
nerly Rumford, the English baritone.
Mr. Rumford has long been a Lon
don favorite. The baritone's striking
characteristic, as one English writer
sees it. Is genuineness; when he sings
he invariably gtves of his best.
ASTORIA CHORUS SUCCEEDS.
The recent matinee musicale given
by the Treble Clef club of Astoria,
under the direction of Mrs. Rose
Coursen-Reed, was a pronounced suc
cess. The following- programme was

tion to 1 marks of expression: "The

young pianist, was presented In
cltal by his Instructor, Mrs. Lillian
Jefferya Petri, who has had him under
her tuition for some little time, in
recital last Monday night, in Lincoln
high school auditorium. Mr. Launer
is a young -pianist of serious purpose
and one who works hard and faith
fully to attain the best results. His
playing has a splendid finish and his
interpretation is quite creditable. If
he cares to become a member of the
musical profession, he can safely do
so by way of what he has done with
the piano. His principal numbers
were the Schumann "Carnival of
Vienna," Chopin studies, especially
well played, modern numbers, and the
Tauslg arrangement of Schubert's
"March Militaire," quite an ambitious
achievement and which reflects credit
-aot only on Mr. Launer, but also on
Mrs. Petri. Paul Petri, dramatic
tenor, sang- several songs with excel-
4 -leafr effect. The audience was a large.

Kaint-,Saens conceived of himself,
most Indubitably, as Voltairean and
disabused, a ray of French clarity
reason and . irony incorporated, says
Paul Rosenf eld' in the Dial. He loved
smooth and elegant effects in his
music. He was a man of the world
even in his rhythms. At moments,
particularly at those moments when
he was not engaged in engineering
an opera of his composition on to the
stage of the Theater National de la
Musique, he was informed Dy a senee
of the futility of human effort, and
doubtless thought of himself as
new ecclesiast. Still, despite sparkle
and Candidian disillusionment, his
was essentially the official mind; and
the minds of those in every country
who fear growth and departure are
only superficially dissimilar.
Under the auspices of Washington
eommamjery, Knights Templar, an en
joyable musical programme was ren
dered recently in which a numiber of
musicians took part. The programme
was under the able direction of Sir
Knight J. P. Haben, who acted as
chairman, assisted by Sir Knight Wil
liam A. Raab, the opening address be
ing made by Eminent Commander Roy
Graham. The programme: Overture,
Oregon Orchestral society, Wm. A.
Raab, director; contralto solo. Miss
Nina Dressel; vocal quartet, telephone
quartet consisting of Hal Young, Mark
Daniels. Ferris Abbett and u. O. Den

prano solo. Miss Hariette Leach; se
lection, orchestra; tenor eolo, Halfred
Young; vocal duet. Misses Hariettand

Small Boys Called Truthful.
Fred C. Kelly, in .Leslie's Weekly.
Generally speaking, about the most
reliable person from whom to get in
formation is a small boy. Any family
possessing a boy knows that he is ob
servant, "gets into everything," and
has no motive beyond satisfying his
inordinate curiosity. He likes to pry
into things for the sheer Joy of find
ing the facts as they are. When he
grows older he may find It not so
easy, for business or social reasons,
to tell an accurate story. But when
he becomes an old man he once more
may be like a boy too mellow to
have, violent prejudices; interested in
telling the trutn for trutn's sake.
