THE OREGON SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 15, 1918. 5 . " : r By J. Ii. Wallln. N fBXT month th Portland Orches tral aocletr wilt iv its first con cert ct th third sesson.. Tb vent will be looked forward to with much Interest by those who fcfc watched its splendid progress. wiutara Wallace uranam, conauctor, tates that, while the concert is booked arller this season than usual, the pro Vram will be well prepared, for several WOk to be presented, were rehearsed last season after the clowinK concert. The Portland Orchestral society is a rmphony orchestra, composed of ac- . amnllnhit mitanri who aturiv and Xollow raualo largely for the love -of the Art, or students who desire to fain ex perience in ensemMe work. This makes it an exceedingly important factor in the local field of music, and, for that - reason, if for no other, the orchestra should have the strongest support pos sible from every source. So far the membership has been about y; but it is expected before the end of the season to have this number augmented to at least 75. ' This is be lieved possible, for there are many per formers in the city not affiliated with any permanent organization who would prove valuable material to the orches tra, while at the same time such mem bership would give them experience not obtainable through any other medium. Rehearsals are held regularly every Tuesday night io Graves' hall. Fourth atreet. between Morrison and Alder, where any one wishing to participate may apply for membership. The or chestra la composed of men and women, and offers opportunities not only for String Instruments, but wood, wind, bras and percussion as well. Organizations of this kind in the large musical centers of the United States and Europe have in several In stances developed to a point where they rival the regular symphony or- Viaifr-ta in aKIlltj, nnrl nnnnlftrltv though, from a business standpoint, they do not figure a competitors. The Portland Grand Opera associa tion, at Its meeting held Wednesday evening, decided to take on new life, and this will be welcome news to ar dent advocates of local grand opera. Officers were elected for the year, and Were splendidly chosen, for they are en thusiasts, who see hope ahead. Jacob Kancler, secretary of the civic bureau of the Portland Chamber of w Commerce, was elected president; Mrs. Warren E. Thorn a, vice-president : Karl Herbrlog, secretary, and J. Koss Fargo, treasurer. The next meeting will be held Tuesday night In the rooms of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, Ore gon building. Fifth and Oak streets. Plans for. the season were discussed and sentiment was strongly in favor of a whole Week of opera, with two or three productions. This, it was pointed out, would reduce the cost of each per formance and permit lower prices than possible with but one performance. Mr. Kansler was not at the meeting, but when Informed of his election ac cepted with the Intention of doing his ery beRt. for he believes in local opera. "Portland will enter upon its second eason of local grand opera with un . . ...v,,.ij.,vt " ma Mr Kanzler. "For several years the city has been in possession of the detached elements necessary for the presentation of grand opera, Its symphony orchestra, a score or more of voices qualified to sing lead ing roles, conductors of experience and ability, and an abundance of good voices for superb chorus worn. "It was only a matter of assembling and organizing this talent, which was so successfully done by a group of pub lic spirited citizens last winter, result ing In the formation of the Portland Grand Opera association. "Other coast cities have for several years had local grand opera associa tions why should not Portland be equally aggressive? . "In order to attain leadership among the cities of the Pacific coast, Portland must lay plans for large growth In art '. and education, as weU as In industries and commerce. The young man who knows musto and literature as well as the Intrlnslo merit of hia wares is doubly equipped to win out In the mar kets of the world. "How many young men and women will be attracted to Portland from the Pacific northwest will be hard to de terminebut that the existence of local rron nirn will brln many, there is no doubt. The drawing power of a cul tural city is known to us all. 'Toung lingers of aspiration and ability must have the opportunity to try out their voices In opera. When .t cannot be done in Portland, they neces sarily go elsewhere. The Portland Grand Onera association will fill this rreat need. Apart from any ether con ilderation. It Is good business for every citizen of Portland to give this move ment strong ana enummu u4'- Splendid music featured the conven tion of the State Federation or wom en's clubs at seaside during me ween.

These programs were exceptional treats and immensely appreciated. 4 m David Blspham, the American bari tone, who believes in singing so that the text may be understood, in an in terview with a Musical American cor respondent, adds his bit to the cam paign for local opera companies in the United States. Blspham does not say anything new, he simply reiterates what others have said, but It all helps. "There should be local opera com panies in every community in this country," he said, "Just as in Europe. There should be local chorus, orchestra and soloists, and for Important occa sions, stars from New York or other large centers should be guest artists in the principal roles. Is not this custom of securing famous singers prevalent In our festivals, when oratorios and concerts are given? Why can It not apply to opera as well? "I believe that the Metropolitan Opera company, with Its tremendous Influence, should foster these com panies, not financially, but by keeping an attentive eye upon he talent that Is developed In each "center. There should be an agreement by which the Metropolitan could draw upon the best material for Its minor roles, and in ex treme cases for its principal parts. This would eliminate the necessity of looking to Europe to supply us with artists. "There is a way, however. In which Europe can assist us and we Europe," continued Mr. Blspham, "that Is by a system of reciprocity, similar to tbe exchange professors in the colleges. We could send our best talent to Eu rope with letters of Introduction to the Impresarios, so that the scope and ex perience of our own singers might be enlarged. Again, singers could come from abroad to us, and appear as guest artists In any of our local opera houses." That the Japanese are not overlook ing opportunities to develop trada abandoned for the time being by war ring nations- of Europe was illustrate.! this week when a snlpment of violins arrived here bearing the label "made Institutions Commercial Music Art Without Embarrassment If you were called upon for a talk tt your club whit would you do? I know, for I have seen you hesitate, stammer, apologize, grow hot. get unzy, ieci loousn ana nnaiiy ii you have unusually good sense sit down.

DAY AND NIGHT SCHOOL in Japan." Prior to the war such in struments would have been labeled "made in Germany," for with the Ger mans In the field the Japanese Instru ment makers found it hard to get into this field, despite their cleverness at imitating. The workmanship on the violins is such, however, that but for the label, one would not suspect their manufacture by men or perhaps women, of a nation that knows the vio lin largely as an Instrument with four strings, played by foreigners. It Is not at all Improbable that the Japanese makers have managed to import some experts from Germany to supervise the work until the natives absorb ttte secrets. Japanese began manufactur ing violins before the war, but not until Germany was fenced in by tho iron ring of the allies did their product enter prominently In this or the great majority of other markets. The Chehalls Mate ihorus club held Its first meeting in the parish house on the evening of September -26. About 27 young men were on hand, which was considered an unusually good showing for the first meeting. This did not Include several who were in the chorus last year that will join next week, and it is expected that the club this year will have at least 35 members. Last year the Chehalls male chorus enjoyed a very successful season In spite of the fact that they were not organized until in February. The executive committee prepared a budget of expenses for the coming year and mapped out a plan which is expected will make the organization self-supporting. It is planned to give three or four concerts during the sea son with artists to assist, and sell season tickets to associate members. W. B. Taylor is president, Professor C. S, Bond, vice president, and V. R. Lee, secretary treasurer. These three form the executive committee. Mrs. J. V. Kldd of Seattle Is director. Mrs. Kidd organized the chorus last season. The Monday Musical club Is pleased to announoe to Its members that a con cert recital will be given Monday, Oc tober 16, at S o'clock at Eller's hall, when two of Portland's most popular artists will appear on the program. Rose Ooursen-Reed will give a group of numbers. Mr Reed always receives an ovation, whenever and wherever she appears. She has a large number of warm personal friends in the club, In addition to those who do not know her personally, but admire her for her beau tiful voice. Waldemar Llnd, who is equally known, has the larger part of the program. It Is only necessary to mention these two names to tell the splendid quality of the offering of the club at this concert. The program will begin promptly on time. Mr. Llnd's numbers are concerto for two violins and piano (J. S. Bach), aria on the G string (J. S. Bach), prelude and fuse in G minor (J. S. Bach). Albert Creitz will play the second violin and Eldridge Trayle will be at the piano. Mrs. Reed's numbers will be "Im Herbsl" (Franz), "Sals-tu". (Fontenailles), "Loveliest of Trees" (Peel), to words from Housman's "Songs of a Shrop shire Lad" (Snow), sung In Norwegian fRlBTird Lie). "Sweetheart" (Strick land). Luclen E. Becker will play the accompaniments for Mrs. Reed. Mrs. Victor Marden, a former Port land musician, is president of the new Afternoon Muslcaf club which was re cently organized In The Dalles. The club Includes 85 prominent musicians of that city, all of whom are enthu siastically Interested in the 'work of the club. The club fills the vacancy left in musical circles by the disorgan ization of the old Spinnet club of whlcn organization Mrs. Marden was' also president. A course of study has been mapped out which will b'e followed this winter. The club will first take up piano study, later, perhaps, also studying choral work. Mrs. Marden will be remembered in Portland as Mrs. Kate Steeves, a former instructor in the Portland schools. She is prom inent In musical circles In The Dalles. The MacDawell club opened its third season last Tuesday afternoon at the Benson hotel with a brilliant program consisting of a group of piano solos by Luclen E. Becker, soprano solos by Mrs. Mitylene Fraker Stltes. Mrs. Sig, Slchel accompanist, and tenor solos by Harold Hurlbut, Miss May Van Dyke accompanist. The attendance was large and Indications favcr a splendid season. Miss -Gertrude Hoeber sang' the fol lowing Schubert songs at last week's meeting of the Tuesday club under Rose Coursen-Reed's direction: "Der Wanderer." "Die Forelle," "Gretchen and Splnnrad" and "Erlkoenlg." Mrs. Reed aocompanled Mis Hoeber on ths piano. Following are the names of members of the Tuesday club this sea- ! son: Miss Helen Clarke, Miss Ger- trude Ost, Miss Margaret Mansfield, Mrs. William M. Eastman, Mrs. Louise Aiinsinger-iegier, mibs aernaaa tiarry, Mrs. M. E. Grlber, Miss Marlon Brodle, Miss Carolyn Clark, Mrs. R, C. Con way, Mrs. C. M. Brink.

Portland is to have a new musical organization, a ladies' chorus of pos sibly 75 voices. It is hoped to make It as prominent a factor in the city's musical life as is the Apollo club o male voices. The idea was broached at the Mac Dowell club meeting Tuesday after noon and Immediately met enthusl astlo response. So keen Indeed was the interest that it was decided to hold meeting at the residence of Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke, 1014 Thurman street, next Tuesday night at 7:45 o'clock for the purpose of organizing. n is not the intention to admit onJv Macuowell club members; on the con- i .f11 600(1 s,nrers ln tha clty Ara Invited.

The Portland district ors-aji! station of the State Musio Teachers associa- tion held Its first meeting her Friday nigbt, elected officers and discussed questions of interest to the profession. The next meeting will be at 7:30 p. m., November 6, probably in . the shape of a luncheon. The place will be se lected by a special committee. George Hotchklss Street, vice nresl- aent or the state association and presi dent of the Portland district, presided rnaay nignt. Other officers were eieciea, as roiiows: Vice president.

'Y'SJefV I "-f I II v -J,-s jCahlll Moors, secretary; Oarl Denton, treasurer. ; The most Important matters Slm ' cussed, . were the proposed teachers' registration bill, which will probably be placed before the state legislature again, as drafted by F. W. Goodrich, and a suggestion to amend tbe by laws so m to admit associate mem bers. t The Goodrich bill. Before the legis lature last session, failed to gain rec ognition, but hope is stQl held out that It will eventually be passed. The suggestion to admit associate mem bers was strongly indorsed. Entitled to associate membership would be persons especially Interested in mil ters musical although not 'following' the profession of teaching. "A rood musician only knows one kind of Intonation the right kind," writes a correspondent. "He does not know that there are four 'correct' ways of playing or singing in tune. If aU musio consisted of but the major tonlo chords one might grant that the se ductive smoothness of the 'perfect third' were preferable to the 'imperfect consonance' used by the musicians. But musio is written in minor as well as in major and there be other than tonic chords. "The great teachers vocal as well as Instrumental are constantly warn ing us to make our majors major and our minors minor; to make our sharps sharper, our Tlats natter. "Krelsler and Payson omplaln of the piano's Imperfections. Krelsler, that sharp Is not sharp enough; Pay son, that 'the major thirds are three fifths of a comma sharp' which means that F sharp Is too sharp for him. "The next time you hear a man. whomyou know to be possessed of brains and heart and talent, and In spite of all these, playlns consistently out ' of tune, especially in his double Stops, ask yourself if his majors are not too much like minors and his minors too much like majors. If that be your impression, you may be sure he has been bitten by the 'pure third' bug." w m In speaking before the State Federa tion of Women's clubs at Seaside Tues day aCternoon, Waldemar Lind, associ ate conductor of the Portland Sym phony Orchestra, reviewed the history of symphony orchestras in the United States, and Incidentally ceiled attention to the fact some of the now well estab lished' organizations, such as the New York Phllharmonio society, were organ ized along the lines upon which the Portland orchestra Is now conducted, having at times as many as five asso ciate conductors, all chosen from the membership, Theodore Thomas was at that time among the first violins, but was not conducting. It finally dwindled down to two conductors, The odore Eisfelt and Carl Bergmann, both of whom later made way for Theodore Thomas, who conducted for 12 years. He pointed out the far reaching ef fect of music on children, and said that the name of the Portland Symphony Orchestra Is now a byword in Portland homes. William Mansell Wilder, director. of 1 the Orpheus Male chorus, had charge of the musio at the Clark-Dolph wed ding at the White Temple yesterday. The organ numbers, played by Mr Wilder,. were Elsa'a Song from "Lohen grin" ("Wagner), overture to "Rienzl" (Wagner), the wedding march from "Tannhauser" (Wagner), improvisa tions during the ceremony, and the wedding march from "Midsummer- : night's Dream" (Mendelssohn).

Wilder, harp, furnished musio. , At the morningj service at the First Christian Church, Park and Columbia streets, the quartet will sing "When Morning Dawns" (Carl Bohm). In the evening Miss Dorothy Faye Smith, con- tralto, will sing "Hold Thou My Hand' (Brlggs). and the quartet will sing "Even Me'' (Warren). The members of the quartet are: Mrs. G. F. Alexander, soprano and director, formerly of New Tork: Miss Dorothy Faye Smith, con tralto, formerly of Denver and Bethany college, Lindsborg, Kan., where the "Messiah" is given every year; J. E.

Tho singer will appear ln costume and t.'io , stage will have the real Indian set- ting, even to the tepee. Mrs. Simmons has succeeded in securing a number of Indian songs that will be heard here i for the first throe, she announces, and the name of the composer is withheld for the present, The first meeting for the season of the New England Conservatory club was held on" Wednesday afternoon at the home or Mrs. Edgar B.
