The concert will start , ' precisely at 3 o'clock and late comers ' -will not bo seated until the close of the opening number, which will be the splen did "Vorsplel," from Wagner's "Parsl ' fal.' The symphony will be the beautiful """Las Preludes," by Liszt, written in his , prime, when at Weimar in 1850, and first played in 1854 at a concert for the . benefit of the Tension Fund of Cburt Orchestra. - The symphonic poem endeavors to por--.tra the poetic situations mentioned in 1 Imartine's "Meditations Poetlqties. the gist of which Is: "What is life bu a series of preludes .to that unknown ,.8ong whose initial, solemn nore is tolled by death? The en chanted dawn of every life Is love; but -where is the destlfiy on whose first de ltcloug Joys some storm docs not break? A storm Whose deadly blast disperses youth's illusions; whose fatal bolt con sumes the altar. And what soul thus ' cruelly bruised, when the tempest rolls away, seeks not to rest 1U memories. In the pleasant calni of rural life? Yet man allows himself not long to taste " the ktadly quiet; which first attracted htm to nature's lap; but hastens to dan rer post, when !the trumpet gives the signal and In the strife once more he again feels the, full knowledge of hlin ' : self .and all hla strength." The episodes of the poem are clearly brought out In tlie tonal commentary by t -I.tsat, the main tfheme announced In the opening strains ibcng clearly followed -'throughout the frork'.

A more 'beautiful chorus, it is said; never as sembled on the quarter deck of the Pinafore than that shown in the above picture. tbardl Opera company for the first time of, Strauss' "Salome," a few words on the newest creation of the Vienna com poser may -be Interesting, especially since it is fair to presume that In the not distant future tt will be given in Portland. The following is from the Stuttgart correspondent to Musical America; 'The plot of 'Ariadne auf Naxos," adapted from Moliere's 'Bourgelos Gen tllhomme,' treats of the absurd idiosyn crasies of the parvenu. Sound philos ophy Is not lacking In the part of SI Jourdaln, who, in his africnt desire to be considered a man of quality, takes lessons in fencing, dancing and in phil osophy. His awkward attempts to be a man of parts furnishes amusement for all the world, his domestics included. His great wish being to be on terms of equality with people of distinction, he Is forthwith jiiade a convenience by titled spendthrifts, such as the Count Dorautes. The high station of the Mar quise Darlmene or perhaps her physical charms cause him to have a feeling of admiration for her. akin to love. He prepares a sumptuous repast for her and the Count and decides to conclude the evening worthily with a theatrical or musical performance. " " 'Ariadne auf Naxos,' an opera by Jourdain's protege, is decided upon, but does not fully meet with his approval. With the true bombast of the parvenu he wishes to vary the tcdiousness' of an opera with a ballet or a musical comedy. For this latter performance he has chosen Zerhlnetta and her four ad mirers. Objections being offered by the master of dancing as well as by the composer and singers, he finally "con cludes to have both works performed simultaneously, one as nil amalgamation of the other. The absurdity of this plan, which Illustrates the character of the new Strauss opera, will be evident. Those acquainted with the original 'Bourgeois Gcntilhomnie' of Moll ere, will notice thRt some very significant cuts have been made for this adaptation. "Ariadne, as the legend goes, has been enticed by the hero Theseus to a desert Island, 'Naxos,' and thero abandoned. In her lamentations she offers ample op portunity for lyrical musical composi tion, but these lamentations cease when the young god Bacchus shows her his devotion. In his love she seeks and finds-forgetfulness and, like a phoenix, is re-born and. soars to higher realms of joy. "All this may at first, sight appear a confused mass, but let us look upon It In another light. However one may regard Richard Strauss, he Is certainty to be considered a pioneer In the uniting of the operatic and the theatrical, and for this he deBerves the greatest possi ble credit. It is a pity that for his libretto he did not choose an abler man than Hugo von Hoffmannstahl. Strauss' adherence to Horrmannstahl has cer tainly estranged a great percentage of the public. Let the composer emanci pate himself from this librettist, whose reputation, to me at least, is un accountable, and he will surely win over a great number of those who today are his bitter opponents.' "And now to the music! it should be said at the outset that the score con SCHOOL STUDENTS IN POPULAR OPERA tains many superb beauties, beauties but iiiue sain io anyimng we have ver heard before. ,Th opening overture is meant to characterise Ariadne, the be- reaveu, ana Ariaane. the indignant The music has a distinctly Strausslan note, though, it Is decidedly hot the Strauss of 'Salome' or "Elektra. It is splendidly adapted to the period of the play and la even imbued at times with a decidedly oriental character. ;. The trio for three female voices is a masterpiece of har mony, although I must confess that here I could not banish memories of Wagner'B 'Rhine Daughters.' . Surpris ingly' enough to most people, there Is little of the tumultuous, unrestrained Strauss tn Arladne auf Naxos.' In fact, he adheres to a very concise, a really metric style. No one would have cred ited him with such lucidity, such sim plicity of tonal language. - . "That the technical effects he pro duces ; art stupendous it ' is perhaps scarcely necessary to emphasize. Per haps It Is only a Richard - Strauss who can employ but 86 Instruments,- ptano and solo violin, and therewith while guarding a chamber music character produce effects vL ucb lonaL splendor as may be looked for In vain In operas twice the size. Herein lies Strauss' greatness, 'which,' however, cannot de ceive us as to two things, vis., that In his 'Ariadne auf Naxos' ho Is at times decidedly laquaclous, to put It mildly, and that his Inventive genius, when he Is stripped of his really wonderful talent for orchestration and for utiliz ing a theme, seems by no means so great as his devoted' disciples would have ua believe. ",Th work as a whole seemed alter- j nately, to awaken' admiration and to bore. Certainly, the long and tedlus preface of Moltere'a 'Bourgeois GehUl- homme' was not designed to' Induce a very receptive mood for the opera 'Ariadne auf Naxos .which la only in cluded In the last act of the comedy." Mrs. Lenora Greene-Daniels of Lents gave an Interesting v class recital on Saturday.' November 23, at the home of Mrs. J. P. Dorsey, which was most at tractively decorated with fall - flowers and foliage. During the program four readings were given. These. articles had been clipped from some of the standard musical -magazines and were found to be very helpful to mothers as well as pupils. Mrs.' Olive Shurly de lighted her listeners with several choice readings. The following pupils rendered selectiona on the piano: Elnora Dorsey, Roy Boatwrlght, Myrtle .Hummel Ma bel Klmber, Albert Boatwnght, weine Flanagan, Mabel Emerson, Ruth Rodg ers, Lyman Howken, Paul Daniels, Ger trude Katzky.

Mrs. Netter Greer Taylor and Miss Nona Lawler were the soloists at the bridge party given during the week by Mrs. Charles K. Henry in the tfeautlful Laurelhurst home. Mrs. Ralph Walker was the accompanist. A "symphonic stage poem" is the very latest in musical creation. It is the name given to a new form of musi cal and dramatic art In combination de vised by Marzlano Perosi and Walter Frledemann of Vienna. Ferosi Is a brother of Don Perosi, the priest-composer, and has made his home in the Austrian capital for many years. The essential characteristic of the new art form, the Neiie Zeltschrift fur Muslk reports, consists in the association of symphonic music with a ordless per formance on the stage, while at the same time it is as far removed from pantomime as from opera. Its principal value, it is claimed, will - lie In open ing up new possibilities to the theatre orchestra, and endowing it witn a signi flcance It has never yet known; then the combination of abstract music and concrete action will achieve a double ef feet.

The allegation that the London police allow certain faVoretl .persons to exceed the automooiie epeea limit-was made at an inquest held by the city coroner into tha death of Charles Ernest Gardner, 19 years old, who was fatally Injured by an automo bile In Queen Victoria street. f George Gardner said the .car which killed his brother was traveling at an excessive speed. He had considerable ; experience in the city streets, and had noticed that the big bankers were al lowed to travel at an excesslva speed through Queen Victoria street, where the police favored them by holding up the traffic lor them to pass. . : v Frederick Huth Jackson, the well known banker of Rutland Gate, S. W., owner of the automobile, said the speed was quite reasonable.. He was reading when ho felt something, and on looking up saw two legs come over the bonnet of the car. He did not think his chauffeur was to blame. ' ".; , The coroner said he had been told that Queen Victoria street was called the "racecourse." His own feeling was that refuges should be increased. In-many cases the public were Injured through their carelessness, but he was satisfied that there was 'a lot of excessive speed and carelessness on the part of chauf feurs In the city. , "CORPSE" JUMPS FROM COFFIN, STOPS TEAM Sullivan, Wis., Nov. 30.
