ers throughout the world, and
particularly thoee whose bene

tras and alml'.ar altruistic efforts for
a public whose appreciation has often
been questioned, are focusing tbelr
attention upon this little city of
100. OC 9 since the ecope and purpose
of Rochester's magnificent new
theater has begun to be known.
That this 1000.009 enterprise, ap
parently designed for motion pic
ture entertainment. Is In reality
tremendous psjrchological university
experiment, designed solely for edu
cating the masses to an apprecia
tion of good music, has come as a
rleasant surprise and a beacon of
hope. It Is so new In thought, so
: i' h In resources and so practical In
the application of altruistic prin
ciples that many assume the experi
ment may lead the way to een big
ger things In the solution of a prob
lem that has hitherto been a source
of heartache to musical enthusiasts.
In order to hire the slighteat'con
reptlon of Rochester's gorgeous Dew
theater and Its significance. It Is
necessary to peep Ino the back
ground. The venerable University
of Rochester has. under the aggres
sive constructive policies of Its
president. r Rush Rhees. and the
generous financial support of
Ceorge Eastman, the Kodak king,
and the general education board,
which Is popularly assumed to rep
resent the Rockefeller millions, taken
great strides toward a new position
cf paramonnt usefulness and pres
tige among the world's famous aests
ef learning. Oeorge Eastman, music
lover and member of tie directorate
of the Metropolitan Opera company,
sensed la the rapid growth of the
university an undue stressing of the
purely scientific to the subordina
tion of the cultural side of the In
stitution. To correct this, estaMlah
a better balance and at the same
time give expression to his enthu
N slasm for musto as a soothing and
uplifting Influence on every phase
of life. Mr. Rasrman gave to the
university the- Eastman school of
muslff. now enjoying an enrollment
ef lJO students st the close of.the
first year, and rapidly assuming a
piece among the foremost musical
colleges of the world.
This great college Is located In
the business heart of town, consti
tuting an Ideal location for a thea
ter. The theater soon became a log
ical need as a medium for the school
to give expression to the cultural
activities: foresight had provided a
lte and lo the theater has sprung
Into being a gift In Its entirety
from Mr. Eastman, designed In
every feature to be "the perfect
theater" and built without regsrd to
expense. It Is convertible, capable
of being changed overnight for
bsage ss an opera house, a great re
ntal hall, a picture palace or a
theater, as occasion may require.
As a means to attract the largest
r-esslbie nnrcber to the en)oymet
ef the aesthetic delights of the ths
ter and therehv bring them under
Its cuttursl Influence, motion pic
turee were selected as the mo.'l

as the foundation for a policy when

ENGAGEMENTS CANCELED.
Two European tragedies, the un
timely death of Rathenau In Berlin
and of Sir Henry Wilson In Eng
land, have had a serious affect upon
the concert-going publio of those
countries, says a New Tork ex
change, quoting Mm. Florence
Easton. soprano of the Metropoli
tan Opera company, and her bus-
band. Prank MacLennan. who re
cently returned to thla country.
"We went over six weeks ago,
Mme. Easton said, "carrying trunks
and costumes and prepared to do a
concert tour In both Germany and
England. The death of Foreign
Minister Rathenau upset our plans
In Germany and took the mind of
the publlo away from all thoughts
of roncerts and singers. v

RETTRNS TO XEW YORK,
Marguerite Sylva has returned to
New York city after a trip to Los
Angeles, where she ssng "Carmen"
In the "bowl" at Hollywood to 15.000
persons. Madame Sylva Is prepar
ing for a new play In New York
next season.
Concerning Madame Sylva's appearance-In
Hollywood the Los An
geles Examiner said. In part:
"Beautiful Marguerite Sylva. one
of the most renowned Interpreters
of the title role, was at her best.
Vocally ahe charmed In every ap
pearance, and her work In the en
sembles and concert numbers wss
vivacious and always redolent with
histrionic art and the dashing
qualltiea which are so essential to
this beautiful cigarette girl born
adventurer with life and love. .
Mrne. Sylva's voice surmounted the
orchestra even In Its most dramatic
moments. She well justified the
hlsh fame she enjoys In this role.
Rl'SSLt.XS TO RETIRN.
S. Hurok, New York concert men-
agar, announces that the Russian
opera company, whose performances
In Portland last season aroused so
much enthusiasm, will make a sec
ond tour of the country. The com
pany will be completely reorganised
In all of Its departments, new artists
will be obtained and addiilonal
stocks of scenery and costumes have
been ordered.
"My principal motive In taking
over this company." said Mr. Hurok,
aa quoted la Musical America, "Is
to place It on a self-supporting
basis. The warm reception accord
ed these artists throughout -the
country Is convincing proof of a
strong Interest In and appreciation
of Russian arts in general, and
tnusla In particular. Under the
circumstances I feel that an appeal
to the music-lovers of the country
to lend their generous support will
not be wrongly Interpreted.
The position of this company Jn
America is unique. Seldom does it
occur that Russian opera is given
with all Russian musicians and In
the Russian language. This com
pany has enabled Its audiences to
OUT OK THE MIGHTY PAST.
The. trend of musical activity In
the paat seems to have, been aim
less and with no ultimate object
In view. However, sufficient evi
dence that It is returning to a more
substantial basis following the
catastrophe of the great war lies
in the fact that the "Golden Circle
of Lisst" of former years la making
its reappearance in the concert halls
of the world. This great assemblage.
which includes among its numbers
some of the outstanding figures in
the world of music, has lost none
of ltat popularity nor its brllflance
In spite of the fact that its ranks
have been thinned by the untimely
deaths of Hans von Bulow, Rimsky
Korsakoff and Borodin.
Already Berlin has welcomed the
reappearances of Xaver Scharwenka,
Emil Sauer and Eugene d'Albert,
while Paris has loudly acclaimed
Vladimir de Pachmann. America
has auccumbed to the art of Alex
andre Silotl. and has received
rumors of the return of Rosenthal,
Busoni and Paderewskl. The latter
two are not members of the "golden
circle," but are commonly asso
ciated with It- Many even look
forward to the return of Arthur
Freldhelm, and even Albert Ross
Parsons, who took pains to remain
out of the limelight during; the re
cent misunderstanding.
Most of theee celebrants have
been quite active dying the last
year. Scharwenka has appeared as
conductor of the Berlin Philhar
monic orchestra, Paderewskl has
been preparing for a concert tour.
Busoni has outstripped his former
feats by giving his version of the
six Mosart piano concertos in two
concerts, D' Albert has appeared in
recital, and Sauer appeared four
times In Berlin, featuring the A
concerto of Llazt- Compositions of
all have received attention, espe
cially those of Scharwenka, whose
concertos for piano and orchestra
have been rated with the greatest.
The significance of this return
cannot be too strongly emphasised.
These artists surely are not in sym
pathy with modernist tendencies.
vet they have been acclaimed dur
tng the last year as no modernist
ever was. Posslhiy it wouia not De
nwlse to Interpret such enthusiasm
upon the part of the audiences of
the artists as being evidence that
musical tendencies are drifting from
the ultra-modern stage back to the
romantio stage of former years.

When thoroughly dried they may be

A celerjtea may be made by
pouring boiling water over the
leaves and steeping on the back of
the stove. Strain and use. By
uourlng boiling water over half a
cup of this tea and seasoning it to
taste with salt and pepper, it makes
a refreshing hot drink, if the flavor
of celery is liked. This would also
be the way to prepare it to add to
soups or sauces for seasoning.
After preparing the celery for
salads, all the unused portions of the
stalk, as well as the stringing and
green portions, should be washed
and put In a good-sized pot and
covered with cold water. Allow to
simmer on back of the stove for a
couple of hours. Strain off the
water and put it on the fire again

a strong essence of celery . is ob

The necessary tools are a board.
a sharp French knife and a paring
knife. First cut off the root and the
full tops off the head ' of celery,
riace under running water and
cleanse thoroughly, scrubbing each
stalk with a vegetable brush. Pare
the root and save to cut into dice
and add to the salad, as it is very
finery flavored. - Segregate the two
or more bunches as follows: The
portions to be used for table use as
celery In branch; the next grade
to be cut up for use In a salad: then
the very green and less desirable
portions to be stewed or boiled and
strained into celery essence.
Any pieces which are to be stewed
and used as a vegetable in a cream
rauce should be cut off at the top
and each piece carefully strung, then
cut In pieces, boiled in salted water
and served in a sauce.
The stalks to be used for salad
should also be strung, then placed on
the board and holding the upper end
with the left hand, "slit each stalk
one at a time, down the full length
making three or four slashes, which
are held together at the top in the
left hand. When all the stalks have
been slashed in this manner, p'ut
them together evenly and grasping
tne Duncn nrmly In the left hand,
feed it into the French knife held
In the right hand, which, with the
point on the board, works up and
down, cutting evenly and as finely
as possible. This is the mode fol
lowed by fine chefs in all the large
kitchens. They all know how to do
It and are usually very skilled in
their use of the French knife in
cutting vegetables, having acquired
this same skill when working their
way up from minor helpers. You
never see a chef chopping any sub
stance be it vegetable or otherwise
In the wooden chopping bowl with
the usually dull chopping knife
which the usual housewife manages
1th. He or his helper always have
a baking board and a French knife
to do all their mincing. When they
prepare the potatoes for clam chow
der or vegetables to go with browned
short ribs of beef, they are always
perfectly diced with the French
knife. Many housewives do not un
derstand Just how to use this most
useful, broad-at-the-handle but tap
ering to a vine, fine-pointed knife.
It must be held firmly with the
point always kept on the board and
the handle manipulated to right or
left and brought down with pre
cision to do the cutting. This takes
practice to acquire skill, but it Is an
accomplishment any housewife can
achieve !f she will persist in 'prac
ticing. The French knife when used
for chopping should be grasped with
the handle in the right hand while
the left hand holds the top of the
knife near the point.

Instead of buying one or two
bunches of young beets at a time,
three or even four should be bought,

there will be enough in the fresh
young tops for beet greens, which
is as nice as spinach. This will make
vegetable for one meal, so in pur

have the freshest tops.
In cooking beets, if a gas range
is used, it takes as much, gas to
cook one bunch as three, so they
can all be boiled at the same time.

a simple recipe for cooking them and 1 whisking until very smooth,
wfi&t sauce is moBt appropriate to use
with them? Thanking you, I am, very
truly yours. MRS. JkL B. U'R.
I am very glad to hear that you
have been benefited by this column.
As you ask for a simple recipe for
halibut cheeks, I am assuming that
you have already read of the sug
gested uses for halibut cheeks to be
mixed with crabmeat in salads and
more fancy dishes, using half crab
and half halibut cheeks which
have been boiled or steamed first
in order to Increase the bulk and
make one crab do the work of two
and thus cut down the expense of
the dish without in any way impair
ing its nutriment or flavor. A sort
of useful kitchen camouflage where
the housewife on a slender budget
occasionally treats the family to a
more luxurious dish. I will give you
two simple recipes, one for a
steamed or boiled dish and the other
to be cooked in a very hot oven.
Steamed halibut cheeks (may also
be poached) One to two pounds of
halibut cheeks (as they are solid
meat one pound will serve two or
three persons). Oil a steamer with
tight lid and place the cheeks.
just one layer deep, sprinkling with
salt. Steam over a pot of boiling
water 10 to 15 minutes, according to
thickness. If they are to be poached
place in shallow pan and cover with
boiling salted, acidulated water (us
ing three tablespoons vinegar or
lemon Juice to a quart of water).
Allow to come to a boll then simmer
gently for 10 to 15 minutes. While
the cheeks are cooking the sauce
should be made and I shall give two
kinds, one plain and one rich sauce.
Plain parsley sauce One cup of
milk, two tablespoons-oil, butter or
substitute, one tablespoon finely
minced parsley, two tablespoons
flour, lemon juice. Heat the mjlk.
In another saucepan heat the oil,
stir in flour, allow to cook to
gether, add the boiling milk and
whisk until very smooth. Add the
seasonings, salt, pepper and parsley
with enough lemon juice to flavor.
This is enough for one pound of the
cheeks. If using more, Increase the
quantity. Place steamed or poached
cheeks on hot platter and pour the
sauce over the same.
Hollandaise sauce One-half cup
of butter, three tablespoons flour.
one pint of boiling water, two egg
yolks, lemon juice to. taste.
Melt half the butter, sift in the
flour, stir and cook together; adding
the pint of boiling water and wjiisk
ing it with cook's whip until very
smooth. Begin adding the butter, a
small piece at a time, whisking in
each piece before another is added
until butter is all incorporated.
Draw aside from fire and add the
beaten yolks of eggs when the sauce
is just under the boiling point,
whisking it well as It thickens. Do
not place it where it can boil again,
or the sauce will curdle. Add salt,
pepper, and lemon juice to taste.
This-eauce should be a thick, yellow
sauce like a custard with a slight
acidity,, yet not sour. This Hol
landaise is made on a drawn-butter
base. There are many other meth
ods for making Hollandaise or
Dutch sauce, but this is the'easlest,
most simple and successful one for
the housewife to follow.
Halibut cheeks, Spencer method-r-Dlp
each cheek separately in small
bowl containing some heavily salted
milk (allowing a tablespoon of salt
to each cup of milk), toss each cheek
into a plate of finely sifted dry
bread crumbs. Then arrange on an
oiled baking pan and sprinkle each
piece with oil from a pastry brush
or swab. Place In a very hot oven
(around 600 degrees Fahrenheit) j
and bake for ten minutes. When
ing this will come creameries and
evaporating plants. A local can
nery is to supply the nucleus of a
vegetable and berry canning indus
try and within a dozen more years
Alaska will eat from her own soil
and have a surplus to export.
"An empire builder la all that is
needed to make of the Alaska rail
road a monument equal to that
created by James J. Hill in the
Great Northern railroad .- and the
projectors of the Canadian Pacific.
"Alaska has ebed her swaddling
clothes and is emerging as a great
commonwealth offering everything
for hardy pioneers and especially
for young men and women with
courage to take up the work where
the gold hunters left off."

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Aug. 12.
"Within the next 1'5 or 20 years
Alaska will be supplying the hard
wheat necessary for patent flour in
the United States," In the opinion
of C. J. Lincke, secretary of the
Anchorage- chamber of commerce.
"That this is not a vision Is amply
supported by the history of . the
Canadian west, where conditions are
no better, aside from networks of
transportation, than in the wheat
belt of Alaska," he said. "There
are 15,000,000 acres of arable land
along the Alaska railroad, and last
year it was demonstrated by actual
results tnai xine nara wne-at may
be grown. Approximately 6000
bushels of wheat came off the land
snd this represents a few home
steads that have been developed
while the railroad was building.
Once the Alaska railroad effects a
colonization policy and settlers are
secured, the areas farmed will be
sufficient to supply wheat for all
local purposes and have a surplus
for export.
"The outlook is so alluring that
already steps are being taken to
encourage wheat growing. A small
flour mill will be built at Anchor
age next spring to serve the Mata
nuska agricultural fields and follow-
