To all those who can appreciate what is highest and best in music the piano recital' to be given by Harold Bauer at the Marquam Saturday, March 19, will be a revelation. No pianist, has ever come to Portland who has higher qual ities as artist and interpreter, and this does not except Paderewskl himself, say experts. "Harold Bauer proved himself a vir tuoso of the first rank. His technic re minded one of Morltz Rosenthal's, his delivery breathed a stormy, impetuous energy and proved-the fullest spiritual mastery of the musical material," said the Berlin Borsen Zeltungy at the time of his debut, and this opinion has been echoed throughout Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, Austria, Russia, France, Sweden, England and America. ' As an interpreter of the loftiest as well as the most whimsical moods of the great masters, he has no equal. The sale of Beats will open tomorrow morning. EMPIRE PATRIARCH RESENTS INTRUSION Undisturbed for, a lifetime by human beings that is, if time is reckoned ac cording to the rodent calendar a large gray rat has lived in quiet and peace at the Empire theatre. Because he loved the stage he took his little family to the vacant theatre and there held forth In nightly performances for the benefit of his own kind. But there came change. 'Last night Idflg men members of the Royal Ar- eanttntf-aasembled at the house to wel come a visiting official. Music and speaking was in order. The rodent in habitant of the theatre saw the lights were on and heard strange noises. With frightened eyes he looked out at the scores of human faces In parquet and In balcony. .. ' - But curiosity overcame fear, and when a sweet-voiced singer stepped before the audience Father Rat hopped lightly to the stage and trotted leisurely across that he might closer inspect this usurper of his playhouse. But the singer never paused and the rodent, not even bowing to acknowledge the applause and laugh ter his appearance created, disappeared behind the scenes. Later on, while the speaker of the evening was , delivering : his discourse, tha manager of the "White Rats" again defied the human audience, and this time dropped into a box,' "where ha compla cently viewed the stage's attractions. Tha people living In tha district In tha valley lying below Portland Heights art angry i because of tha slurs and flings that are frequently made regarding tha moral standing of their section. ' They say that disreputable men liv ing In distant sections of tha city com mit crimes and when tha matter comes Into trint the police call tha perpetra tors members - of the "Goose Hollow gang," and ' then attempt to-' describe "Goose Hollow" as that portion of Port land ' which lies wind-shaded by the heights. "Why It was only laat week,"" said Allen Rleley Of 511 Clay street, last night, "that an article appeared in the papers calling attention to tha escapades of Bob Lucas and also to the exploits of 'Chick' Houghton. These men were said to be members of the 'Goose Hollow gang1 of tougha and ' that they fre quented tha locality near the foot of the heights. As a matter of fact Bob Lucas never lived within two miles : of the district named and I never ' remem ber to have seen him west of Fifth street 'Chick' Houghton lived with his parents on tha heights, but no one can remember him to have been a hanger out any ' other lace than in the north end where he got into all his trouble. "It la grievously wrong to ascribe un lawfulness to this district as there is no better conducted lot of people anywhere than those who live below tha heights. "Goose Hollow' is a name that was given to the gully lying a mile west of the turn table at the end of Jefferson street. It Is more than SO years ago when 'Goose Hollow' gully waa so called. "Property owners have Just right to complain of the manner In which their community Is treated by the press. It )n easy to write 'Goose Hollow gang,' and It may appear catching In style, but there are no gangs about here and there have not been any that I remember." Journal friends and ' readers, when traveling on trains to and from Port land, should ask news agents for Tha Journal and Insist upon Being supplied with this paper, reporting all failures In obtaining it to tha office of publication, addressing The Journal.
