W. Tlllff afternoon's concert at the Hellig theatre by U Portland Bymphony Orchestra promises to lie an affair of exceptional brilliant y and the advance sale which , opened Friday morning Indi cates a capacity audience. It will be the fourth concert of the third series. Moms Clirlstensen will conduct and the program has been most hapi.il chosen, with Dvorak's "From the New World," symphony as the principal feature. Tain work la regarded as one of the most planning- symphonies writ Inn In modern times. Bssed to a con siderable extent on American melo dies It is of unusual interest to an American audience, although much played and greatly admired in all iriuftlcal centers of the world. The symphony consists of four movements and will form the first half of the program. The second part of the program will opc;n with two Hungarian dances by Johannes Brahms, followed by lihapsody No. 1 by Andreas Ilallen. Then will follow three numbers large ly for strings, "Berceuse," (Massen et.) "Revs Aples Le Bal" (Boustel) and Traumerel" (Schumann.) The overture to "Euryanthe," by von Weber will end the program. "Euryanthe" was the outcome of a commission given to Weber In 1821 to-write a new opera for the Karth nerthor theatre In Vienna. The opera did not meet with lasting success because of a poor libretto, but the music has attained popularity almost equal to that of the brilliant "Der Frleschuts" by the same composer. Andreas Kallen's Rhapsody Is full of melody and charming orchestration, T;ils will be the first Introduction here of any of this Swedish compos er's work. The Massenet Berceuse is from the opera "lion Ceasar de Bazan" and is essentially French. The concert will begin promptly at 3 o'clock David P. Nason will be the concert master today. A number of pupils of Frank G. Elchenlauf and Beatrice Hidden Elch enlauf were presented In an evening of violin and piano , at the Lincoln high school February 9.

Where the entire pro-; gram was of such high order It Is difficult to particularize but num bers like "Christmas In Sicily" by Pletro AUesandro Yon, were inter preted with special sweetness. Through the pastorale rame faintly the sound of the chimes and the bag pipes. Bibellus' "Flnlandla" a broad tone poem, Inspired by the myths, of Finland, was given a fine rendering. Wagner's "Forest Murmurs" from "Siegfried" was one of the most charming numbers and the organist was at his best in this selection. In honor of Lincoln's birthday a fan tasy on American airs was given with a splendid swing which brought rourd after round of applause from the de lighted audience. Every number was generously applauded, and Mr. Boone won many new friends by bis artis tic and sympathetic playing. His clos ing number was the "Toccata" from the "Fifth Organ Symphony" by Charles Marie Wider, a brilliant and beautiful composition which brought out the skill of the performer and the resources of the organ. John Claire Montelth, baritone, was the vocal soloist of the evening and gave a rare treat to the large com pany of music lovera present In En na's "Es War Eln Alter Konlg," and In the familiar "The Lord Is My Light," by Allltsan. To continued ap plause he sang one of Carrie Bond Jacobs' songs with fine effect. His other numbers were "Lord Qod of Abraham," from "Elijah," (Mendels sohn) and "Invlctus" by Huhn.
