Chicago does not like "Prometheus."
the Scriabin tone poem that has caused
so ' much, discussion in Europe and
which was played for the first time in
the United States by the Chicago
Symphony orchestra at Orchestra hall
on Friday afternoon,) j March 6, and
.Saturday evening, MaBch 6.' The audi
ence even went so 1'ar as to display its
disapproval of hissing.
The Chicago correspondent of the
Musical Courier, commenting on the
production, or rather on the composi
tion, says: j ;
"The verdict of the public vox
populi, vox del p'roveld also the voice
of the critics. if cacophonous dis
cordance and noise which irritates the
ear reflects the jnuslQ of tbe ante
diluvian days, then Uie Russian com
poser has written a work which de
scribes moot successfully the chaos of
those days; but if music is the art or
science of harmonic sounds and
melody, Scriabin's output belongs be
hind the shelves. It may Be rue that
the Russian composer j is 'too far ad-
' vanced' for the present generation of
musicians and that his doctrine afid
music will be .accepted in years to
come, but as the writer is not a reader
of the future, the, work is condemned
for the present, though later it might
be accepted and even praised. Bee
thoven was criticized; harshly in his
day by drltics whose names made his
tory onljy because tiiey refused at
the -time to accept ! Beethoven as a
genius. Nowadays the musical public
looks upon those critics as men who
did not understand what music meant,
and maybe in one or two generations
critics who condemn;; Scriabin today
will, be looked upon by their suc
cessors as musical ignoramuses.
"As th i, writer cannot . very well vio
late his . udgment in order to be some
day called a wise man or an -'I told
you so' p -ophet, he joins in the general
disapproval of the work and does not:
even accuse the management of the
orchestra for having shown lack of in
terest by giving the! work without
using th, "clavier a Jumieres," which
the composer demands in his score.
Likewise, a chorus dfnixed voices was
also abse it, yet a klnemacolor demon
stration of colored ftone and the hum
ming of voices could not in any per
ceptible degree have changed the ver
dict as tendered, 'it might be sa4d.
however. In justice to Mr. Stock and
his men, that they played assiduously,
giving the work an especially good
rendition. After being disturbed by
th hissing of the audience, the public
' showed its enjoyment in hearing again
Stock's 'Symphonic Variations' played
superbly by the orchestra. It was re
ceived with vociferous applause rrom
the hearers," who compelled Stock to
bow his acknowledgments again and
again,"

PARK CONCERTS WILL
SOON DRAW CROWDS

E. McElroy, Conductor.
With the approach of summer and
balmjr day. the city of Portland is
again! preparing entertainment for its
Inhabitants at the public parks. As
custofnarjr for several seasons it will
be,mijisic by a band of 32 or 34 pieces.
During; the week the city council se
lected W. E. McElroy as municipal
band conductor for the season and an
nounced that the concerjs will egiri
somHtime in the; early part of June,
the exact date depending somefhat on
weather conditions.- ;
Th plan is to give 60 concerts, at
the riate !of six a week, according to
Commissioner Wi ; L. Brewster, who
has charge of this feature, Although,
the details have not yet been; worked
out carefully.
As in the past, however, the concerts
will be distributed among the various
sections faf the cfcty, so that the peo
ple ojf each -district may have oppor
tunity to! attend without traveling a
great distance. - j
Parks it which! concerts were given
last summer were Washington, South
Parkway,! Holladay. Mount Tabor.
Laurolhurst, Peninsula, Columbia, Sell
wood Terwilligerj and Kenilworth. A
coup a of concerts were also given at
the Forestry building grounds,! for the
benetit of the residents in that section,
in tlie immediate vicinity of which
there is no publics park. Two Concerts
were given at the park at Lents.
Director McElroy, who will wield the
bator. this season,; conducted the public
parK hand concerts in 1912 and 1913,
and ;ast season was the : conductor of
the band; at the ;Oaks. He has also
conducted bands at a number of state
fairs in tha northwest in recent years.

Joseph A.iFinley, choir director, has
takn initiajtiVe. towards organization
of a big chbrus to go to San Fran
ci'sdo to the fair to Compete for a
$lojo00 prizle The trip will ; cost
eacli membeV: of the chorus about ?50
for a stay j 15 days, it is estimated.
Th 'direetojr; says he .will pay his
owty way. The chorus would be known
as "The Portland' Festival Chorus."
i!r. Finleyj who is preparing a
chorus for the May music festival
hera, in speaking of the proposed trip,
said: "If the prize should fall to th
chorus it will pay the way of:a!l the
members, allow a generous sum for
eacli of two: accompanists and the
director, with a surplus to carry on
the work of the season 1915-1916 and
to leln makif the 191 fi May festival a
grekter affair than the- 1915 is to be."
"The
ere is no more uplifting influence
thain good njijsic," says the; Los Angeles
He -aid. Whether it is sung by ; gifted
singers . or iplayed by well trained
bards, it is'j ennobling and insspiring.
Evin withouit words, the eloquence of
music goes Straight to; people's hearts
.and makes tetter men or women of
thorn. . '
"The warden of the Iowa peniten
tia -y has bjrought about the reforma
tio i of more! than half of the convicts
under his charge by having good music
played to them and by teaching them
to produce it themselves.
'So interested have they become In
th work oj" the great' composers that
they devote! part of the earnings they
gelj for labpif for the state in bringing
batds and jorchestras and singers to
perform and; sing for them.
vln a fewl years men believed to be
hardened criminals have become use-
fuli mbitioiis human beings ready to
take their pjlaces as good citizens when
they are discharged from prison.
-Thesc nitfn have simply responded
to an Influience that can reach every
human being. .
"fit should be part of the business pf
evry city to provide the people with
thrt best m4sic, and free.
f Concerts!, both vocal and instru
mental, witih programs including both
classical and popular music, should bo
given at th expense of the city, once,
twfce, or even three or fpur times a
week. - j i ;
jThe publjic response would be im
mediate, fofj all peoples are music lov
ing, jj
IVlth free; public music parents would
soon find their children not only ac
quiring musical taste, but higher
ideals. !'' ' ; : "
There would be a rapid rise in the
musical standards of the country.
More peopl; would learn music! for the
pleasure itj j will bring. New, com
posers would produce'more and." better
music.
And much time now wholly wasted
by the people would be devoted to in
strumental 1 1 and vocal work and ' to
bringing music into the homes as well
into the Streets and parks.
Whatever the cost of free music to
municipality, it would be well re
paid In a vtery short time.
All who have heard the noble music
of 'the great geniuses have felt its in
spiration.
fTo carrr, such an inspiration to all
the people means an uplifting of taste
and a spur to effort.' It means the
awakening iof ambition, and upon the
ambition' of:
a people depends the fu-
tu
e of the; nation."

presario was here the enthusiastic re
ception pleased him so much that he
promised to .extend the Portland sea

booked for 10 daysj one week straight
and a return engagement; 1 covering
three days.
'I have heard nothing!; from the
company, since th trouble t San

I am sure will be vfry much depflored."'
Lam,bardi had surrounded himself
t ith a-cast of big Singers this Season,

celebrated lyric tenor, and while the
repertoire for this city had not been
definitely outlined.
it was
understood
it would nave inc

orchestra,
under the

was here last season.
ana among its
members were a cpuple of musicians
who make Portlahd their hoihe be

were "Cristoforo C'olombo.j" i magnifi

The Mason & Hamlin pian blends
with the voice remarkably; its singing quality and
its carrying musical tone unite in making it un

and the reasjon can be found in the intrinsic merit of the
piano. You are cordially invited to examine these re
