THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER V 1503. THOUGH It la till early for the musical aeaaoi to begin. It la not early t give a forecaat of the season' program. ' It la safe to , aay that this will be tha richest musical scaaon Portland haa known. As each year passes and tha experiment la made year after year of adding more rand thlnca. it becomea , evident that Portland can eupport a heavy musical! aeaaon and that the musically apprecla tlve nubile here la growing. There waa nnrf inl nt angulation and not little skepticism at the opening of laat "year's season when a. schedule almost twice aa full as In any preceding year was announced.. Many predicted that the public would "give out' oerore n star performances. - But Portland held lta own to the end of the season In truth It sent a larger attendance to the closing concerts than to many at the beginning and middle of the season. Ft was shown tht the Portland pub- llo would take thankfully ana apprecl atlvelv what was added to former schedules and that more than one man nmrnt could Introduce i the most ex pensive stars from the east and from .Kurope and atlU receive ample support. .And the experiment haa decided these 'managers to undertake even more this year and t,ne wontns wui do iuu vi gouu things., . . Miss Steers and Miss Coman, who ' have so long stood sponsors for the best tin music In the far west; have added to : their list or attractions. n rormer Jyeara they did not think of bringing out more man rour arums in uieir aramm. 'Last year they brought out the splendid 'Damrosch orchestra, the memory of !-which still slows, and added it with -lta remarkable, leader and with the lncom 'parable Nordica to their four other con certs. This year I understand that they "will stretch their schedule still further to Include more than five concerts. - Ana ha. Bteers-Coman. management Is a ' nianntM fnr tha oualitv of .What thev bring; Their schedule Is not yet ready for announcement In full, out several or the greatest favorites in their tours of other years will -return Gabrllowltsqh, Gadskl, Hartman and others. . Then the Helllg is to continue the ex periment which it found successful last vear and will Introduce several artists that have not visited Portland before. That schedule, too, la incomplete, for Mr. Helllg Is still In the east making final arrangements. But It Is practi cally settled that the Pitttsburg orches tra will be here with "Victor Herbert as . conductor, and V that VMr. Boyer will , again conduct a 4arge chorus choir for , a prolonged festival. Maud Powell will probably be among the attractions and . . . , J - 1 1 ....... i.l 1.,........., KaM appearance last year, which could, be managed only for a matinee, could not be attended by many.. 5 The Portland Symphony orchestra, t which .started out so auspiciously lam .u-intar under the able and business-like management of Mrs. Edna B. Jones, will tie manage! ani directed -ni.i " yrr uy Charles Dierke. Everyone feels that much praise Is due Mrs. Jones for mak ing a successful financial venture of the lorciiestra which In other i years hnd to disband because of financial difficulties. This year it should run along smoothly -because of the excellent start It has re ceived and the manner in which It has .been popularized. Mr. uierae promises . muni exceDtlonally interesting pro- lilnt tVat .manv tmnd never before heard of in this part of the 'country will be playfd. " In addition to. these attractions there . will be the UBual number of muslcalea by local musicians. There Is talk by one of tha leading musicians or giving a season of chamber concerts. Introducing at each one an outside artist of some merit ... It certainly seems that Portland Is far enough-advanced musically to ap preciate chamber concerts at which only the best is played.

Tha First Presbyterian church begins work today under tho continued direc tion of Kdgar E. Coursen. organist Mrs. Ethel Lytle Boothe, aoprano; Mrs. Rose Coursen Read, contralto, and tom J Zan, basso, continue their work there with W. A. Walters aa the new tenor. Mr. "W'altera Is a new arrival In town and- is studying with Mrs. Reed. . - The First Baptist church, too, keeps Its choir with but one change: Miss Kathleen Iawler, soprano; Miss Ethel Shea, contralto; J. w. Belcher, tenor and director, and E. Milton - Runyon, tenor.. MC Runyon Is a young . man whose first effort in church work this Is. - but his voice promises well. Miss Budget of Monday wUI from tl "lr. Emll Enna certainly deserves the thanks of music lovers pr his Intro duction of Mr. Kobarte. tha star of ths taengerreat, whose grand singing was a surprise to alL Mr. Robarta pos sesses not only a wonderfully rich and flexible voice, but that rare magnetic quality which marks the real singer and shows perfect training.. His first two contrasting numbers, 1'Nur Wer die Sechnsucht Kennt," by1 ' Tscbalkowskl. and "Tha Yeoman's wedding Kong, were splendid Introductory numbers to show his versatility, buff he waa un doubtedly at his best In tha selection from Faust, followed hy "The Promise of Life." by Cowen. It Is to ba hoped the people of Astoria will have the pleasure of hearing him again, as It Is not orten tnat tney nave me gooa ior tune to hear so fine a singer." His appearance there resulted In an invitation to sing at the concert given there by the Philharmonic encletv the last week in November, and also an In vitation from the United Singers to sing at their meeting In Seattle next year. . Contrary to a rumor that has student for further work and many have signified their intention or sending their beginners te Miss .Cahlll - for preparation. It Is said that studenta who have been through this preliminary course advance much mora rapidly than Others.
