THE SUNDAY OEEGOXIAN, PORTLAND, JTJXE 4, 1922

Idj who are connected with the
L recent Willamette -valley May
musical festival, that took place
in Salem, Or, May 26-27, under direc
tion of Dr. John R. Sites, are entitled
to credit and a hearty hand shake.
It is a pleasure to record that the
event was a big musical success and
also a financial one. It was Quite a
feat for the musical enthusiasts of
Salem. ......
The biggest event of the festival
was the rendition May 26 by a chorus
of 400 voices, with soloists, of Haydn's
oratorio, "The Creation," with accom
paniments by the Salem Symphony
orchestra of 40 musicians. In this
chorus of 460 there were 225 Salem
singers, 76 from Monmouth, 40 from
Dallas and the remainder from Al
bany. Two of the sploigts were from
this city, Mrs. Jane Burns Albert, so
prano, and John Claire Monteitb,
baritone. Other soloists were Mrs.
J. S. Landers, John B. Siefert and
Charles N. Cone.
May 27 the programme consisted
of artistic living pictures, the repro
duction of famous masterpieces of
painting, posed by living models, and
participated in by 40 . people, with
epecial music by the symphony or
chestra. The events took place in the
Salem armory and the accompanist
was Mrs. William H. Burghardt Jr.
The officers of this festival are
Mrs. A. N. Bush, chairman; Mrs. L. J.
Harris, assistant chairman; Mrs. C. C.
Fisher, secretary; George C. Riches,
treasurer, and Dr. John R. Sites, di
rector. Probably one of the hardest
worked people at the festival was Dr.
Sites, who served without salary. He
la a force for good in Salem's music,
ia an educated musician by birth and
training and also is conductor of
Salem's male chorus, the Apollo club.
It is pleasant to record also that at
tendances at both festival- events
were large and that at the latter
concert a small ' crowd had to be
turned away because of lack of seat
ing accommodation.

as well as negro spirituals.. His first
pretentious number Was the aria from

a key transposed a half tone higher
than the original. other Hurlbut
songs were an aria from "Rigoletto,"
French songs by Weckerlin and Tosti,

tertainment feature, says he is confi
dent' that a splendid chorus of mora
than 2000 voices will have been as
sembled and trained In time for the
big musical event of the festival.
i BERLIN HELD TO BE POOR,
; Miss Mildred Ann Kingsley, a vo
calist of this city, who received her
musical training from Mrs. Rose
Coursen Reed and was educated "at
Washington high school, now is in
Berlin, Germany, with her mother,
completing her musical and literary
education. In a letter written by Miss
Kingsley, and just received by her
aunt, Mrs. J. S. Hutchinson,-902 East
Flanders street, Miss Kingsley writes:
We have suffered the past few
weeks in Berlin severely from the
cold. They bnlsi have porcelain stoves
here that extend as high as the ceil
ing and yon have t6 lean against a
stove to feel the warmth.
We did enioy. the charming, old
medieval cities like Bruge and Ant
werp, Belgium. We . also went to
Ypre to see the battlefields. The
train from Brussels to Berlin takes
18 nouns, and wejiad to sit up in the
cars all night, there was neither
sleeper nor diner. When we arrived
in Berlin, on a Sunday morning, there
was not a room to- be had in any
hotel. Prices lately have foeen doubled
and to Americans trebled. Store
stacks are about sold out. There It
great poverty in Berlin much more
so than in Belgium. Here, even at
the opera, the people look shabby,
while in- Belgium people wore full
dress, with jewels. :
Germans still are restricted as to
light and coal, and they only have a
not bath once a week. We had diffi
culty, in securing a room when we
came, and finally got one through a
newspaper, and by paying a month's
rent in advance.
'Butter now is 78 marks a pound.
and before the war it was 1 mark
B0 pfennigs. It really was risky com
ing to Germany as we did, without
knowing the language and no resi
dence arranged for in advance. Many
Germans we meet are courteous and
willing to help, yet often they show
their dislike for Americans. The feel
ing still is intense. We have several
times been told not to talk English
when we go out evenings. There is a
great deal of crime in Berlin. ; Ger
mans appear to have an exaggerated
idea that all Americans are covered
with diamonds . and their pockets
fiI4d with gold. I did not know a
word of German when we" arrived.
but soon learned a few phrases to
go shopping and to find our way
about. '
"Germany, in some ; things, is ' 50
years behind America Time means
nothing to Germans. When you go
to the opera they make you check
your wraps at a cost of 4 marks, the
you have to buy a programme and tip
the man who unlocks the door to your
loge.,. You cannot get a- glassful o-t
water without paying for it. . 7 1
We heard twoi performances in
Belgium of the royal ;opera, one in
Antwerp and the other jn Brussels,
and we have been three times to opera
in Berlin.. Taking the .operas as a
whole, none of the performances are
better than the New York Metropoli
tan, Maybe the orchestras are bet
ter, and the men singers may be su
perior to the Metropolitan, but not the
women. - ,
"Berlin seems to be the mecca in
Europe for music. I have piano les
sons from Xavier Scharwenka. I
study theory and sight reading with
Dr. Hugo Leiehentnicht. I have not
yet decided on a vocal teacher, but
am taking German and French from
Fraulein Furholzer, who was tutor to
the family of King Ferdinand of Bul
garia. "It is painful to see great artists
here who have been so reduced finan
cially by the world war that ' they
barely can afford the necessities of
life." -
Mrs. and Miss Kingsley plan to re
turn home in the early fall.

"The Singing .Nation" is the nams
often applied to Lettonia, home at the
Letts, who have formally abandoned
the alternate names of Latvia and
Livonia, which in reality wr based
on translations into different lan
guages. Usually we hear only of Let
tonia through dispatches from Riga,
its chief city.
Lettonia covers about 25,H0 square
miles and is one of the string of buf
fer states set up by the Versailles
treaty between Russia and Germany.
There are about 2,000,000 Letts, mostly
in Lettonia, but overflowing into
neighboring states. They are largely
Protestants and there is fair progress
in education. .They derive the title of
"singing nation" from their common
devotion to vocal music Socialism is
strong, but it ia national rather than
