SALVr, HARPIST, MARCH 10. Alberto Salvl, considered by critic the world's greatest harpist of today, will be heard in concert at the pub lic auditorium Friday night, March 10. The coming of this eminent artist marks an epoch, for Salvi i one of the sensations of the day in the Tnusical world. Wherever he plays critics are lavish in their praise of this brilliant young genius, speaking of him as a revelation because he has overcome technical obstacles which have for sang splendidly in numbers which taxed all registers of his voice, and he excelled in vocalization in Bee thoven's "Adelaide." Miriam Bennett Duva sang beautifully and excelled in charming trills In the bell-song composed by Delibes. Th most im portant number, and probably the best, was the fine rendition of the trio "Qual . Valutta" (Verdi), eung with power by Marian Bennett-Duva, Hal Young and Dr. McOuire. The other students oither than the solo ists roemttoned who took part in the roci'tal are: Mrs. Blanche BurrMt, eo-prano-dramatica; Miss Henrietta Heppner, soprano; Miss Iris Marten son, contralto; Mis Nellie Weboffer. contralto; . Miss Ruth Lange, con tralto; Mark Daniels; barMon-bril-lamte; Harold L. Graham, baritone dramafcioo; Half red A. Young, tenor lirico, and Herman Heppner, tenor dl grazia. Mrs. Arvillfl. Stolte McQulre was ac companist for Dr. MeGuire, and My Van Dyke-Haxdwick was accompa nist for the other soloista, and both played eplendidly. There were neither encores nor floral bouquets allowed, and the in novation was most welcome- It is to be hoped that at succeeding recitals merly been considered impossible.

Sixth and Morrison streets. Plans have been made for handling long ticket lines as expe ditiously as possible, in order that patrons may not be inconvenienced any more than is necessary. From the opera headquarters in the Sherman-Clay Co.'s building comes the word that the ticket window will open with the ticket supply mate rially depleted and with but few seats left at some of the prices. The mail order ticket sale, which has been going on for a month and a half, hag practically cleaned up one-half of the seats for all performances. Some of the performances are worse hit than others. However, the announcement is mads that there still are seats left at various prices. Further announcement comes from the opera headquarters that those people who really intend to attend the operas should not delay long in obtaining seats, because it is appar ent that for some of the perform ances the entire house with all avail able extra seats and standing room is going to be sold out long in ad vance of the arrival of the first opera date. Whether this will be true of all the performances is uncertain yet. To accommodate the crowds, a con tract has already been let which will rdd about 600 seats to the capacity of the public auditorium in the side assembly rooms. An elevation will be so erected that each row of seats will be four inches above the row in front in these assembly rooms, thus affording good seats where the operas may be both heard and seen to good advantage. "The ticket sale," said W. T. Pan gle yesterday, "is really astonishing. The mail order seat sale has brought bushels of orders from all over the Pacific northwest. I doubt if there is a city or town in Oregon and "Washington that is not represented. and orders have been received from various parts of Idaho, Montana and California. This, of course, is De cause Portland is the only city where the eomnany is appearing in the Pa cific northwest. It will be the biggest operatic engagement the Pacific northwest has ever had, ana me Dig cest social event of the season. Our main problem apparently will be how to accommodate the demand for tickets. We are sparing no expense in adding as many good seats as pos sible to the natural seating capacity of the auditorium." The Chicago company, with Mary Garden and the 45 other world-stars and the chprus of 70, ballet of -30 and orchestra of 76 (311 persons in all) closed an engagement yesterday in Philadelphia and plan to move west ward today. The "jump" will be made from St. Paul to Portland, Or., the company arriving here March 21. From here they go to San Francisco and Los Angeles and then to Denver and home to Chicago. The company is traveling in three special trains with a special train of 17 baggage cars of scenery, cos tumes and equipment. AIDITOR11M COCEKT, 3 P. M.

SYMPHONY CONCERT MARCH 8. Vasa Prihoda, the Bohemian violin star, who will be soloist at the con cert of the Portland Symphony or chestra, Hellig theater, March 8, will play 68 concerts on his transcon tinental tour this season. This is an unprecedented series of engagement: for a youngster just past 21, and re minds one of the first tour of Elman the demand for whose concerts made records new to those days. Prihoda, who was born at Vadanz Bohemia, August 24, 19-00, is a uniqu figure on the concert platform, "many remarking that he looks much like the prince of Wales, his slim, boyish figure and shy personality attracting many, and in absolute contrast to the more virile Russians, of whom the technique.

Although the harp is one of the oldest and best known of all musical instruments, dating back to the most ancient period, it has never been par. ticularly popular. This probably is) duo to the scarcity of performers; ow ing to the cumbersomeness of the in strument and the taxing technique re quired. About 100 years ago the harp was built so that it would play chro matics (sharps and flats). This was in the form of a pedal harp which, through the use of seven pedals, en abled the player to play chromatic notes. The great difficulty, however. was to shift the pedals fast enough to play rapid chromatic passages, and most players (have acknowledged this to be an impossibility. That was before Alberto Salvi dawned on the musical horizon. Salvi decided and demonstrated that the MASSENET SHOWN AS JOKER. In his memories Massenet writes of being present at Caruso's debut in Milan and confesses to a flagrant Joke he played while he was in that city, at a dinner of Sonzogno, the pub lisher. Everyone knew of the strained relations between Massenet and Rl- cordi.

He plays 250 compositions from memory; but, while he is thoroughly laminar with the repertoire of Grieg, Brahms, Saint-Saens, Beethoven, the basis of his concerts has always been the Paganini numbers and type of playing. It is stated that Maestro Marak teacher of the greatest violinists of the Conservatory of Prague, has Paganini sanctuary into which he takes his students at the beginning of their course. The student who is permitted to enter must be entirely worthy, and so far only three have been permitted Kubelik, Uberman and Prihoda. the last heralded as the "new Paganini." Aitnougn frinoaa, this young Czecho-SIovakian violinist, is only 22 years old, he has conquered the mu slcal publics of Italy, Paris and South America, and in New York. Boston. Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, De troit, Washington, Toronto. Min neapolls and St. Paul musical critics accord him the highest possible praise. not only for an uncannily perfect and brilliant technique, but for an in dividual musicianship, a tone of satin purity and a style that is distinctive and ingratiating. Difficult phraslngs that baffle some virtuosi are as noth ing to him. natural facility and prac tice enabling him to forget the merely technical and devote his whole atten tion to interpretation. Prihoda's vehicle Wednesday night will be the Tschaikowsky "D Major Concerto," dedicated to Leopold Auer and first performed In this country ty Maud Powell in 1889. The finale of this concerto, a rondo based on two Russian themes, has a particu larly Russian flavor. Prihoda will also play a group of solos. It is note worthy that at a recent Chicago con cert Prihoda was compelled to give seven encores to one number, so over whelming was the response to the art of this remarkable youth. The symphonic offering Wednesday night will be Mozart's "overpower ingly great, fiery, perfect, pathetic sublime symphony in C," the "Jupi ter" symphony. Just how the sym phony got this name is not known, but its lofty idealism and nobility and brilliancy of treatment make the title apt. Schumann said of it: "There are tilings In the world about which noth ing can be said as Mozart's C major svmphony with fugue, much of Shake speare and pages of Beethoven." The other orchestral offering will be "Le Baruffe Chiozotti," an over ture by a modern Italian, Leone Sint gaglia. This highly interesting num ber takes its name from a comedy by Goldoni, the 200th anniversary of whose birth it was written to cele brate. Sinigaglia was an associate of Dvorak and Goldmark, and his over ture is another one of those brilliant numbers, with which Mr.. Denton so happily ends the symphony concerts. The programme: Symphony in C"Major, "The Jupiter," Allegro vivace, andante ca.n-ta.blle, Minu etto, finale (Mozart); concerto for violin and orchestra, "D Major, Opus 35" allegro moderato, canzonetta, allegro vlvacissimo (Tschaikowsky).
