Those in Charge of the program were Mrs. Hempson, Mrs. Slegner, and Mrs. Bryant. The soloists were: Mrs. Ham ilton, Mrs. Price Mrs. Cushlng, Mrs. Riddel and Mra. Branch. The choruses given by the club reflected much credit on their leader, Mra. Hamilton. Mlos Leota Slegner and Mrs. Martin, two of Portland s talented readers, added very much to the pleasure of the after noon, A Berlin critic says that of all the Salome dancers who have attracted at tention since the Richard Strauss opera has come into such vogue, the only one who has offered anything really original Is the California girl, Maud Allan. Her Salomo dance is strikingly original and full of weird dramatic interest. The girl's unusual individuality is shown In her choice of costume, which is quite different from anything hitherto seen on the stage. Then Mlas Allan has to a marked degree the two great essentials of a dancer rhythm and grace. An interesting program will be given at the Pidmont, Preabyterlan church February 21, by the following well known singers: Mr. Walter Reed, Mrs. J. Ernest Laldlaw, Miss Grace Camp bell, Miss Beulah Cadwell, Miss Clara Howell, Miss Alice Juston, Miss Cather ine Covach. and Mrs. VIralnia SDencer Hutchinson. A double quartet from the Treble Clef club will sing also. The children's song recital to be given by Mrs. May Dearborne Schwab for tha benefit of the Ladles' Guild of St Mark' parish promises to be an Interesting affair.

The larger cities and the medium sized ones are all arranging for some combination by which the Chicago Symphony orchestra and lta coterie of singers will take part in a song fes tival consisting of oratorio, song re citals and mixed programs. Our city Is indeed fortunate In hav ing a local organization which will take upon Itself the arduous work of assist ing this excellent body at their concert here. A large chorus under the direc tion of W. H. Boyer Is preparing to sing with the orchestra. With sixty competent men, under th direction of the well-known comDOttar and musician, Alexander Von Fie 1 Its, the Chicago Symphony orchestra comes to us well prepared to render ensemble programs In connection with local sing ers. Their season last year through out the west was a most successful one, and their performance of sym phonies, rhapsodies, and orchestral se lections demonstrated their capabilities ot mgn grade wont.
