The opera - tie season of 1 915-1916 hayinr ' come to an end, the army of ' artists, singers and dancers who havo assisted Managing Director Max Ralf. , Inoff "in making history for the Boa . ton Grand Opera company, has dls fanded, seeking rent and recreation at ' the seashore or in the mountains. They all enjoy a well-deserved vaca tion; not so Managing Director Max ., Rablnoff, on whose shoulders falls tha burden of paving the way for an "v'ther triumphant trans-continental journey. Vhen seen In his offices In the Metropolitan Opera House building 1 last week, he had this to say: t "' "I am for preparedness, and now 'that I have learned what has-been ' , Wanted by each of some AO at tha . foremost cities throughout the coun try - visited by uh last season.

Since this triumph was made largely possible through the co-opera-tlon of the various local grand opera ;, oomhiittees, I have decided on a new " Crder of things which means annual C 'enjoyment of grand opera for the future. I have secured the necessary co-operation required from grand opera committees in the principal .

CJ There are Steinways in service today that were given as Wedding Presents more than fifty year ago. They have been handed down as heirlooms from one generation to another. About them cling memories dearer than those associated with any other object in the household. t The beauty of its rich, sympathetic quality of tone its resonant, harmonious bass its sparkling, mellow treble its instant response to one's rnoods make the Steinway more than a mere piano; it is liktt an inti mate friend who has shared in one's happiness and trials, and, never faltering, remains loyal and true under any and all conditions a source from which flow comfort, pleasure and inspiration. J Then, too, in choosing the Steinway, there is consid erable comfort in the knowledge that it is the best the STANDARD by which all pianos are judged.

The presi dent played the musical setting for a reading given by the treasurer, for which one of the directors gave the ap propriate gestures. Another director gave a violin solo, accompanied by one of the secretaries. The four secre taries appeared together In one musi cal number, while the auditor put on an Indian dance, accompanied by a di rector. The vice-preBident gave an original reading. Miss Jessie Jewett opened the formal program of the aft ernoon with a contralto solo; she has a good voice, and her numbers were much enjoyed; they were, "Who Knows" (Ball) and "Mighty Lak a Rose." Miss. Marie Delgardo accom-, panled her. Miss Marguerite Egbert gave two original monologues that were very humorous. Mrs. Nadine Baker Metzger was oh the program for a reading, "The Americano Girl." Mrs. , Harlow's Junior pupils presented a pro gram of 'esthetic dancing that was a real treat. The grounds of the Pierce home made an ideal setting for this form of entertainment, and added very materially to the artistic effect. The dancers were all in costume, and made a pretty picture. . The program was: "Lady Betty" and "Spanish Waltz." Miss Violet Denzmer and Master Hal dane Harned; "Russian Mazurka." Miss Francis La Point; French "Ga votte," Miss Margaret Cook and Mas ter Charles Jacobson; Greek Vestal Dance, Miss Emelle Mlchals; "Dixie Dance" and "Caprice Gavotte," Miss Ruth Doty and Harold Grant.

A basket supper was served at 6:30 for the husbands and guests, the tables were arranged under the trees and the outdoor air gave added zest to the ap petites, and fuf justice was done to tho good thingeTrovided. In the eve ning a short formal program was giv en, Mr. Becker, the musical director, presenting the chorus for the musical part of the program. An octet from the chorus gave one number and Miss Fromme gave a soprano solo with flute obligato by John 11. Czerny, Mr. Beck er at the piano. Mrs. P. L. Thompson gave a reading from the "School for Scandal" that was much enjoyed, and responded with a lighter encore num ber. Several of the dancing numbers were repeated in the evening, and the effect under the twinkling lights was more beautiful than in the afternoon in the sunshine. Those who returned to take part in the later program were: Misses Violet Denzmer, Emelle Mich- els and Ruth Doty and Master Haldane Harned and Harold Grant. This con cluded the program for the evening. The guests spent the rest of the tiros in social intercourse and dancing. An old-fashioned Virginia reel was formed. being led by the musical director and the host. The credit for the success of the function is chiefly due, to Dr. and Mrs. Pierce, who. went to a great deal of pains for the affair and to Mrs. Herrlck, who has worked untiringly for it Itecitals Interest BCnWo Devotees.

I Musicians of the State of Oregon-met promptly at 10 o'clock Thursday ati8ohnx nh mi. Fnv nt Miu Stlm the Oregon hotel In a state convention, An , Important business meeting was held at the opening session, when of ficers for the year ware elected and tho by-laws and constitution adopted. The state was divided into districts and it is probable that a vice presi dent will be elected from each section who will in turn be responsible for the local organizations in his district. -Following4 the organisation and dis cussion of policies of : the association there were a few short talks followed by general discussion on the live Is sues of musical growth and conditions in the state. The Portland' Musicians' club appointed John Claire Monteith as chairman of the organization, and many interesting features ' were ar ranged by him for the day's work. The ubject of credits for music in the public school was discussed. Wil liam R. Boone talked on "The Finan cial Returns of the Music Industry in the City of Portland." Mrs. , Herman Heppner, head of the music- department of the State Federation of Women's liibs, spoke on "The Development of Appreciation and Interest in Music Through the Women's Clubs of the "State" and "Concert Giving in Small Communities." Miss Carlisle of Hood River, Or., talked on ''Music; as Pre sented by the Women's Club in Hood River." Frederick "W. Goodrich read, without discussion, the. new bill for the registration of musicians. The needs of their communities were given in short talks by out-;of-town mu sicians and Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke talked on "The .'Value of Mu sical Clubs to Local Coinsnunities." At 12:30 luncheon was served in tne Oregon room. During the luncheon there were several short speeches and good fellowship meeting between local and out-of-town musicians. Bethlehem, Pa Has Unique Musical Activities. From the New York Eve. ning Post Is taken the following in teresting note on musl6: in the town of Bethlehem, Pa.: "New York has long oeen the best place on this globe to hear famous opera singers. Thanks to the havoc created in Europe by the war, it has now also become the world's musical metropolis, so far as orchestral concerts and recitals by fa mous soloists are concerned. But In one thing New York does not lead. To near a thrilling performance of the choral works of the greatest of all composers Johann Sebastian Bach we have to go west ninety miles from New York to the city of Bethlehem, Pa., which has made a specialty of the works of Bach, as Bayreuth has of the operas and music dramas of Wagner. Music festivals there are aplenty throughout the country every spring and summer, but what Is heard in them is equalled or surpassed in the metrop olis. Bethlehem alone offers what cannot be or, at any rate, Is not duplicated elsewhere. Bethlehem is also, as everybody knows, the home of the great steel company which employs 22.0U9 work men." Botes of Interest from Street Stu dio. A new quartet which has been heard several times of late, and which added a delightful variety to the pro gram of the Baby Home tea, is com posed of Miss Ruth A new, Kathryn Crysler Street, Clarence- Heath and Geo. Hotchkiss Street, The Woodburn Ladies' octette. Royal Serenaders to KJng Joy and Queen Muriel, and much in demand at all festival gatherings this week. have been coaching .with George Hotchkiss Street the past year.. Clarence M. Heath and Mrs. Mil dred Milne, pupils .of Mr. Street, have just returned from Astoria and Salem, where they have been filling profes sional engagements most successfully. The Calvary Presbyterian choir. Hotchkiss . Street, director, and Miss Margaret Lamberson, organist gave their regular monthly musical service last Sunday night The choir sang two big numbers, the Mozart Twelfth mass. "Gloria," and "Sing Alleuia Forth," by D. Buck. Mrs. Morgan Fowle and Miss Catherine Brandes were the soloists, Mrs. Fowle using Dr. Bischoff s. "Come, Holy Spirit" which showed her glorious soprano voice to rreat advantage. Miss Brandes sang very successfully, "Hold Thou My Hand" (Briggs.) Geo. Hotchkiss Street is planning to present some of his advanced pu pils in recital the latter part of this month. Banquet and Soiree Enjoyed. Slgnor R.

' Gentlemen: I want to add my appreciation of the wonder ful artistic qualities of the Mason & Hamlin Piano to the many others which I know you already have. The Mason & Hamlin Piano, as a support to the voice, is inimitable; in fact, it fulfills every imaginable requirement from the point of view qf both artist and audience. Sincerely yours, (Signed) DELPHINE MARX. Mason & Hamlin grand Pianos are as distinctly art products as are the masterpieces of painting or sculpture. ; j i '1 The musician who seeks the finest medium for the expression of his art, the music-lover who desires the sympathetic companionship of a perfect musical instrument, the man of wealth and culture who is satisfied with nothing less than the best, all find in this superb piano complete satisfaction of their needs. x The Mason & Hamlin costs a little more but it is worth more than any other piano the world has known.

Mrs. Gerlinger took it up afterward, and has been diligently working ever since that time. "There is a great deal of work to do yef said Mrs. Gerlinger. "and from now on we feel that the fund should be raised largely by Individual subscrip tions. We have been unable to do any real work in Portland, owing to other campaigns there" .The largest items on the list have been contributed by the women's league of the university, totalling $1050.99; by Portland alumnae 11000, and by this year's graduating class, whloh has es tablished a class memorial that will net between $700 and $1000. Mrs. Gerllnger's report shows that Eugene and university organizations together have raised over $4700 of the amount Eugene sources alone have contributed over 12275. and university sources alone over $2800. An Item of $997.86 from unclaimed university funds was contributed through Mrs Gerllnger's diligence in delving into the institution's accounts aqd making a request from the regents for the use of these funds.
