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.

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.

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.
