THE ' OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, ' SUNDAY MORNINQ, APRIL 5;: 1908. IV T IIB FIRST concert pt tha Portland Symphony orchestra bu gona on record at a distinct auoeaa. Th supporters art Justified and the "knockers" are silenced. Port land can support an orchestra of Its own and thire Is erery reason to think now tbattt will. Such an or chestra Is an Important factor In the cultural growth of the city and If af ter a few more concerts or after this season Portland will sustain the or chestra so auspiciously started then this city will have an undebatable right , to be put on the map along with other cities of culture and advancement Un til that time we have no right to stand up and say, "We are a highly appre ciative city; we are art; we are culture." There may be many Individuals In a city who appreciate good things, who wish for them and will do all in their power to secure them, but until the peo ple stand together as a unit to secure art a city cannot lay claim to municipal . refinement. Individual tastes do not I make up a city's. enlightenment; Individ ual tastes reenforced by and harmonised with other Individual tastes are ttw criterion of a city's merit. Just now It looks as though enough Individuals ot good Ideas have merged their tastes and desires Into harmony to cast Its reflec tion over the entire city. And If this lasts It will be one of the greatest pro ceases of growth through which our city has passed. May it last! Arrangements are going right ahead for the second concert of the series. This will be given Friday. April 14. An effort Is being made to get this concert et for the evening because many who were unable to get away from business In the afternoon for the last concert la mented their misfortune. It happens that both the large theatrea will be dark that evening and It .only remains' to toe swen if the players can give their ser vices in the evening. The soloists this month will be Mrs. Walter Reed, contralto, and Henry U. Bettman, violinist. Their numbera nave . not yet been announced but their work is looked forward to with greatest In terest Mrs. Reed's work is well known and her power of voice and her style re well suited to orchestral accompani ment Mr. Bettman, who Is first vio lin and concert-melster of the orchestra, has not been heard In solo work at any large public gathering heretofore but his work -to those that have heard him has demonstrated his musicianship.

Evening, Interest Is rapidly growing in the coming festival of the Chicago Sym phony orchestra. Doubtless the con cert given last week by the Portlund Symphony orchestra served to awaken Interest In the coming event and to re mind people of their fondness for or chestral music. The names of the soloists have been .announced so often that every one should by this time know their names and their accomplishments, but still In qulrlcs are constantly being sent In about this one or another. Suffice it to say that all the soloists who are traveling wth the Chicago organization have some repute. All have fame with in the confines of Chicago, and in a city of Chicago's size that is no small merit Several of them have note that reaches far beyond the city, however, and have sung or played before audi ences all over the country. They should all be worth hearing. The violinist and cellist are both foreign and have done public work In Europe. Mrs. Genevieve Clark Wilson Is one of the well known concert and oratorio alngers who though she does not rank with Sembrlch may yet be termed a woman of national rep utation. Mrs. Rose Lutlger Gannon, contralto, John Miller, tenor, and Ar thur Mlddletcn, basso, have all been heard of before, especially the last named. It is said that the violinist re ceived an ovation in Denver and was pronounced Kubelik'a equal. The pianist, by the way. has not been heretofore spoken of. It must have been an accidental oversight for she comes here with a brilliant enough rec ord. She Is Edith Moxom Gray and has been living the past year in Tacoma with her husband, who is also a musi cian. She has, however, before she came west, been soloist with the Boston Symphony and has played before this unicago oympnony. The with the newspaper reports of the orchestra's concerts give her preeminence and call her by an kinds terms. of complimentary BOSTON STRIVES TO Line Up With New York The only thing now wanting for Bos ton' to get its $700,000 opera house Is the additional subscription by the gen eral Boston public of $150,000. The scheme was brought Into lively exist enco last December when Henry Russell's San Carlo opera company was giving a season of opera In Bos ton ana wnen it was nnown mat aos ton pooplo can and will support opera on a large scale u properly presented. Eben D. Jordan, one of Boston's lead Ing citizens is fatherUg the movement and he called Mr. Russell Into confer ence with himself. Mr. Converse. Mrs, Jack Gardner and Mr. Flanders. If the opera plan works out Mr. Russell, who waa spoken of as successor to Herr Conned but withdrew when the Boston project waa launched, will no doubt be the manager. The New England con servatory will be the operatic school In connection ana rrom mere tne cnorus too, will be drawn. Opera In English will be made a feature, and since C. Martin Loeffler, one of the . foremost American composers of today, is on the opera board, as are also Mr. Chadwick and Mr. Converse, two other ell-known composers, there is every reason to suppose that something Interesting will be brought about In that realm of opera. 900 Edith Moxom Gray, Planlste With the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. th perfect fun It affords.
