the urn shall contain the words and
number of verses as written by Francis
fcSeott Key. - It-would have been better
to Introduce a bill abolishing altogether
that silly "Star Spangled Banner' na
tional song, which la neither national
-nor a song, la the bent mdh of that
word. The text of the anthem Is puerile
and nupersentiroental, and the muslo la
not only unmelodious, ' but also la o
badly constructed that faithful vocal
rendering; of It Is Impossible for most
voices. In these, days Americans have
been -educated to look behind ' the bills
introduced at Albany and Washington
and to probe for the' real motives that
Inspire them.- The -Musical Courier Is
not interested in politics, or lir state or
city contracts, or in the book publish
ing business, and without any Insinua
tion or allegation t whatsoever we con
clude thla paragraph with- tha Informa
tion that - if the aforementioned bill
should become a law It would eliminate
a large number of standard 'readers,'
Tpeakers' and reference books now In
use in our schools, and would require
those Institutions to buy new ones."

Perhaps some of the rabid i-eschetlx-kylles
members of that self-formed sect
which the great teacher himself said
' has discovered' for htm a method he
never had would feel their bonds of
loyalty and Improvement loosened com-
- fortably could they but know. No more
would they have to stand dutifully en
thralled with eyes rolled heavenward In
. hero worship -. when the sunny-haired
Pole begins his a thletlo gyrations about
the keyboard. They couldjoin that ranks
of the more progressive and the inde-
pendent-minded and denounce - jRader
wski as a poseur who has sacrificed
art to popularity. If they only knew!
s Well, they shall know for it will be a
kindness. Read, then, that the great
and - glorious i Padereweki disclaims the
Leschetizky Influence. -The divine plan
1st is abov even the god-like teacher
and little Leachy shall not have re
flected glory added to his aureole by
the big Paddy, And this by his own
(Statement' for to a IjOS Angeles reporter
ihe told the heavily weighted truth. Jean
de Chauvenet, knowing, tha great mo
ixnent of this matter put tha question of
j method and hare is what ha writes with
ease and unconcern as though he were
(not demolishing the inspiring llfe-the-ry
of many worshipers:
VOf course, the Interesting toplo of
the hour was methods. 1'hea the Le
achotlzky method! 'Ah,' said Paderew
!aki, that name has been used for most
everything. Most ' people think I use
jthe Leechetirty method. That is a mis
ptake. I took 30 lessons from him. Old
Tieschetlslcy make me a player? No, I
'learned vary much from him; ha Is the
world's greatest -teacher, but I was
(already formed ' before -1 went to him,
rfeoth as a pianist and a composer.' "
ORCHESTRA IMPROVES
f With Every Rehearsal.
Kvery one Is glad that the Portland
Symphony orchestral concert Is actually
tm. hand again for the delay due to va
rious small difficulties has in no way
succeeded In lessening tha Interest and
enthusiasm. The program offered la an
excellent one and there la much curi
osity to hear the orchestra In Its Im
proved condition. All who have heard
the rehearsals report remarkable Im
provement In the ensemble work.
Ihe solo work Is especially Interest
ing, Both, artists are well known and
are favorites here, and their appearance
with .the orchestra la looked forward to
viiih pleasure.
Mrs. Reed's "Ahl Rendlml" aria gives
a 'splendid chance for her to show off
her round tones and it builds up to
splendid climaxes. The other air. "A
Woodland Serenade," by Mascjteroni, is
a dainty little thing and l sunf with
an accompaniment of picked strings.
Mr. Bettman's work Is no less pleasing
and nhowi' his acpey and his mush
clanship.
The concert wHl be given in the
evening (Wednesday) at the Helllg. and
a large attendance is expected. The
program is repeated here:
March, from "Aida". G- Verdi
"Peer Gynt" (Symphonic Suite) .E. Grieg

T DENTICAL WORK IN
A
Berlin and Portland.
So shortly after hearing the com post
it ion so Veil given here at the recent
(festival the following note from Berlin
!n a production there off "Fair Ellen"
,galns double Interest. "The chorus here
hinder W. H, Boyer's direction did ex
cellent work and sang with the neces
sary spirit and vim. The orchestration,
'which Is the heart of the work, was ex
cellently played ' by the Chicago Sym
phony orchestra. Following Is what
tha Berlin correspondent of the Musical
Courier says: ;
' " 'Schon Ellen;' which .was written
.more than 40 veers avo. wax ona at tha
jilrst compositions to make Bruch'a
!a.me faiAwn tn tha world. It fa a
beautiful choral work; It was admirably
rendered under the composer's direction
Ion Saturday and made a bier Impression.
; The text deals with an episode of the
great Indian mutiny of 1857, and tells
how the English, out off and surrounded
by the enemy, besieged tn an old tower,
had given up all hope. But fair Ellen,
aver and anon, hears in the distance the
familiar old march, 'The Campbells Are
Coming,', and she stimulates tha dis
tracted garrison to hold out a little
longer, until t.,e Scotch actually arrive
and disperse the enemy. It Is a stirring
composition full of Stlmmung,' - . and
Bruch has made a clever use of the old
Scotch tune; at first it Is heard almost
lnaudlbly, then it grows louder and
louder, until the-- Highlanders break
through the ranks of the enemy. Both
the solo and, chdral parts are beautiful
and melodious, and 'the orchestra back
ground is very effective."".-

Cn ESSIE ABOTT TO
JD Sing With Other Artists.
' Of special interest Is tha announce
ment that with Bessie Abott will come
Edith Moxom Gray, planlste, who played
here so brilliantly the J; Tschalkowsky
concerto,: with the Chicago Symphony
orchestra. Her work won her r an en
thusiastic : encore. Hans VlJressel, .'cel
litt, will also be with Miss Abott, and
those who keep acquainted with musical
people and things, have heard his name
often enough to know that his playing
should be well worth hearing. He Is
.an' English 'cellist-and has had great
success In Europe.
Alius Pott's popularity is unusual
for one so young. Her work at the Met
ropolitan ln New) York has given her
prestige anion the best known prima
donnas. Her American birth makes her
an especial favorite, for prlda in her
accomplishment Is mingled with delight
In, her art. . . ...... ,. -
