AND THEIR HISTORY
f r MUST (lve. Portland a. feeling 9f
pride to run over Ita list of . people
who nave rone'eaat-and eren In the
vast crowds, of musicians In New
Tork have made good. - Port land has
; ,- alnys been termed a very musical town
;, andv dlscrlmlnatlnlf ,one, Often .' one
wonders where it . has '- received ' that
name, when some of the concerts are
J o, poorly . attended, i . JL'nappreclatlve la
1 the dictum heard -onf many sldtis. Well,
S yes, iinapjinxlative -of opportunities, - f
! you like, but not of good mwslcV r '; : ?-;
; ! The worst fault is that Portland peo
, . pie are suspicious and skeptical. ' So ac
s : customed r : they to consider; theni
:' selves out of reach of all things good
' that they find it difficult to believe
' that good things are corning! lie? right
i along. . And' so accustomed." are ' they, ;
" too, to getting along withoflt .the touch J
i or outside rnunlcal Jire that they think
they don't need it- 'And. that; Is why so
? many artists , play and sing; here, to
, ,i small nouses. . nut me raft still re
;: mains that Portland Is raunical when it
; hestii'S Itself to be, and visiting artists
' almost, unanimously pronounce this city
to be the- best musical city In the
northwest-t-the most discriminating and
: intelllgenUy critical, though not the
most responsive. ,' v .4'';.'
It may : be this atmosphere, of filgh
standards that has been responsible for
( the rather unusual number of successes
musical ' Portland ..rhasv evplved. One
' , after another of the' youthful musicians
liave gone awayr and. won recognition
in ' other fields. Many Vhave gone for
study and have returned . here to help
? keep up the standards. 'iThe'lnjitructors
of Portland, which term defers to the
leading ones and the' better class for
these are. the reaf represenlatlves.Bre
- high grade.j Their' training has been the
'i brut obtainable, and many.of,, them could
.. hold their own la the pig cities.;
Signal among the successes stands
Emllie Frances Bauer, who- was reared
in musical surroundings j and went to
New York, where she has made such an
-1 important place for herself as a musical
critic that she has entree to all the big
musical; lights that come to New York,
and her word is quoted over the whole
country. Her sister. Miss Marlon Bauer,
. has joined her more recently, and with
her work In composition-has done , so
-; well that she has won high praise from
: the crittca and has been advised to study
: 1 abroad. f.;-,; .5 J,;:
Harold Vincent Milllgan may be men
! tinned as one of the most youthful and
' : notable successes. He holds a very re-
sponsible church position at f Rutgers
Presbyterian church, dhe of the proml-!
nent ones, as organist and choir director.
, Incidentally h,ia recital work has' at
t tracted tnttclincommpnt, he is secretary
! of the American Guild of Organists, and
t both his correspondence work for maga
zines on. matters musical ana nis com
positions have 1 received some irecognl
r ;. tion. Mr. Milllgan has been in New
York three years.
Miss Frances Pelton iones will bere.
niembered as a former organist at the
- l-'lrst Congregational church here. Since
those days she has gone to New York,
made a record for good, sincere work.
and just now Is quite the ,rage for re-
MUls on the harpsichord. Recent let-
f t era from her Show that this winter has
I been entirely occupied with these , re
J ltal8, given 'in. conjunction with well
f known artlsu and under the patronage
- of prominent New York society folk.
She has appeared at the .Hotel Astor
under ;the auspices of the New York
J.Iozart society, at Carnegie hall before
- the Barnard club at the Plaza under
the patronage of prominent" women, at
the Newton for one of the. series of
musicales that hotel gives, at the Astor
for the Dixie club, and at several other
X prominent places Where her harpsichord
recitals have become the rendezvous of
fashion.. 1
Miss Anna .. Ditchbura- Is. one of the
; more recent outputs, and- her success is
1 therefore the more readily rememoerea.
' To be. sure, she has gone on the theat
rical stage Instead of the operatic, but
' her nlav. "The- Climax, is -built almost
. entirely 'around the one part with the
Ringing voice. En tour her voice has
created so much favorable comment
that she is often Invited to sing la the
big churches, and' she hss sung In-sev
v erat concerts as well. Her. voice la said
i to have developed surprisingly , In vol
: time, sweetness and quality, and It is
j -very probable that she will eventually
I take up operatic work. Ntck Zan is a
singer who has already done this, and
from the-first year he went 'to New
York to study he has constantly 5 had
a-aood comlo opera engagement.
Harriet Stevens of former years,
whom a good many will remember, had
; an unprecedented career, for when ahe
. left here !, was not deemea 10 nave
t a -, narticularlr wonderful "voice. She
tudlcd In New York and acquired splen
did church positions singing with Her
bert witherspoon.. As drawing-room
singer ahe became very' popular.' but
abandoned her career to marry and is
tiow living In London. -Mrs; J. Whyte
Kvana. the contralto, has ceo ' very
pucceasful 'in securing soma excellent
church positions in New York.. Clyde

Jarg-ly Influenced by musical life In
Pnrtlsnd,' and be Is rapidly calling at
tention to hla songs. He has a respon
sible pnsiUoa with the Ei-hlrmer Music
Iubllshitig company, one ornbe largest
and best knawn. Miss Klitabeth Har
ass bad not the opportunity to win

health oeresltate4 her retirement from
the professional field. - However.' In
Iialy her beautiful soprano was read
ily , recognised. , and - H e ry Russell,

pened to be a visitor at a boarding house
where the opera company of which Fran
cis Wilson and Marie Jensen were the
(tars, were harbored.. During a little
Impromptu musical, he - was' invited to
contribute . several , .ongs, and among
othera he sang "Listen to My .Tale of
Woe." Member, of the company wera
so much Impressed with It that they
called Mr. Wilson's attention to it and
be aecured the right to sing It,' and. in
the long Hat of song successes the popu
lar light opera favorite has had on the
stage, none of them have been as great
as "Listen to My Tale of Woe." Mr.
Wllaon and Mis. Jansen were compelled
to sing it over and over again, always
Introducing a neat dance at the end of
each verse, night after night, until they
were quite exhausted. . . :
When Mr. Smith took the Field poem
and arranged it to music, he rearranged
the words somewhat, and interpolated a
chorus. This, for instance, 1. the way
the verse is. arranged in the Smith song;
A little peach in an orchard grew, "
Listen to my tale of woe; i ..
A little neach of emerald hue. . -
. Warmed by the sun and .wet by. th.
dew, , , , t
It grew, it grew, I
v Listen to my tale of woe.
' And the chorus, which i. sung follow
ing each verse, read.: '
Hard trinla for them two. - '.
-. Johnny Jones and his sister Sue,
V. And the peach of emerald hue, .- u i
: vlt grew, it grew, ... . . :'
Listen, to my tale of woe. i-, :
-Mr. Field's poem was written while he
waa the' managing editor of the Kan
sas City Times, about the year 1880. It
can be found In " A Little Book of West
ern Verse, by Eugene Field," published
by the Scrlbner. in 189S. , , ' : ;
.During the years the verse, were go
ing the rounds of the pres. of the coun
try," -they;' were generally oredited to
"Anonymous," but. often were assigned
to . various writera. It wa. finally to set
at rest - the - disputed ' authorship that
Field published the verse, in his book.
Field"' never received'; any remuneration
for the poem, as it waa not copyrighted,
and Mr. Smith sold vhls rights to a
music. publisher for Ho. The song, how
ever, netted a small fortune, and thou
sands upon : thousands of copies . were
sold,1' while it -Is .till to be found , in
most of the college aong book, of today.'
: Hubbard ' T. Smith wa. a native of
Indiana 'and -- entered the ' government
service in 1876,. serving as a secretary in
the stiite department, as deputy consul
general at 1'aiis snd at Constantinople,
and vice conauL at Hlngo and Onaka,
