It h been more thanJ two year ince a Portland audience was charmed , by j the -' wonderful voice of Scott, He ! has many aJmlrers here among devotees ot opera and his appearance wilt be welcomed by the vast majority of Portland's musical colony. His present program has won , high praise from critics where he has appeared. It affords him splendid opportunities to display his charm as a singer of foremost rank. Mr. Scott not only occupies the ' unique position of being an opera sing i r of the first rank, but tfinish, ' Atitttsirltv anri mm with whirh tiA siffna ' In oratorio and concert stamp him as la consummate artist in thid field as f well.

Many of the members of the sight reading class have already become interested in the chorus work' and .have Joined the Portland Oratorio society. "The Messiah" rendition has been an annual affair for the past f ive j years and will be given again this j coming Christmas. The society is J planning for the spring season to study j and give in concert form one of the well known but not too familiar operas, Pro" probably "Aida. The principal solos duets and tr1og wlll be sung by the best local soloists and the principal choruses arranged for mixed chorus. Paderewski, John McCormack, Zim balist, Alma Gluck, Galll-Curci, Evan Williams, Sophie Braslau and several other famous artists contribute to the list of gems of the Victor records for November. The list contains a great variety that will surely appeal to the music lover. The Polish pianist r has chosen for his contribution "Waltz In C Sharp Minor" by Chopin. The in herent beauty of this entrancing com position is revested with all the delicacy of touch, subtlety of phras ing and warmth of color that Pad erewski is master of. Zimbalist's silvery violin tone and rare skill in drawing the bow are given adequate display in the dainty "Serenata" by d'Ambrosio. It features delicate staccato and interesting pizzicato passages. The dance records for No vember also form a pleasing variety. The' San Carlo Grand Opera com pany which Is to sing a season here during the winter Is drawing capacity houses everywhere, according to re ports from cities in the east. Interest in grand opera and music generally, seems to be steadily increasing de spite the war perhaps because of the war.

Says Helen F. Driver in the Ldger: "Mr: Mowrejrjs interpretations re semble nothing so much as fanciful tracery of delicate silver etching. His first group included, a few of the old masters. Chopin, Schumann, Beethoven and Brahms with the modern works of Debussy and Herard thrown in as counterweight. Kach number was ex quisitely given and especially notable were two Brahms waltzes from op. 3 a. His great contrasts of light and shade, his delicacy and perfect technique. left no savor whatever, of the student, for Mr. Mowrey is a master in both the art of interpretation and composi tion."

" It has been detected that the Gotha airplanes with which Germany makes nocturnal visits to England "drone" in the note A flat, whereas the British machines prefer E and F, and this has led an English musician to argue that no one with the sense of absolute pitch should have any difficulty in identify ing hostile raiders by their sound. - Beatrice Harrison, the gifted 'cellist. Is at her home In London. Miss Han rlson was to have come to America for another tour this year, but owing to the enlistment in the United State army ot her manager, the tour ha been deferred.

AMERICAN OPERA STAR TO SING HERE I fl - T Pit ? -"'," Henri Scott, Basso Operetta for Boy Scouts Is' New in Music AMONG now composition out of tha ordinary Is "America JFirst." -, a Boy Scout operetta, text by H. Mars tens and music by Will C Macfar lane, ' and" published by J, - Fischer A Brother. New York. Thi is a clever piece of work that should prove a delight to any Boy Scout organisation and it friend.' and it contain ' no great technical diff lcultles. Much of the music i of martial order and throughout if run a thread of patri otic airs and anthems. Tho operetta is intended to point a moral in music, verse and - dialogue-the value of the Boy Scout to their country and to their fellow. Two . gangs of f"boy' in a large town, representing differ ent Sections, North and South T5nd, have met on common ground for a gang fight, when interrupted by the appearance of j a detachment of Boy Scout. Their 'discipline and common sense prevent a continuation of tho rowdy feud. Another interesting work by th same authors and published by the same publishing house is"The-My tery of Roses," lyric sketch for five solo voice, mixed, with piano ac companiment. It contain solos, duets and ensembles and can be performed -with a drawing room stage setting. This should fill a long felt want, for few works of this kind have been available in the past. The music in "The Mystery of the Roses" is . cap tlvating and within the range of the ordinary singer. r A collection of songs by George Sterling and Lawrence Zand a has been issued ty Sherman.

Tha Zenda songs are strongly natacierisiic, ana best suited for the singer of lnterpre tatlve ability rather" than brilliancy of voice, for they are laid within a very narrow range.

Is to improve the health and im part grace and self-expression. - The idea whica I nav worked out was suggested by the poor physical condition of persons who wanted to learn t sing. - They were absolutely unable because of the formation of the chest to sustain a reasonably long phrase. "Through experiments with children at a friend and noting the astonishing results, I made a direct effort to learn the effect of various exercises and sustained positions of the chest on health and general physical condition. I proved to my own satisfaction that practically - none of the systems of physical or respirational exercise was complete, and that most of them were doing actual.: harm, particularly In making crooked spines, distended shoulder blades or stiff backs. Fathers and mothers, friends. teachers and -others have told children to - 'stand ' up straight.' throw out your chest 'don't stoop" and so forth, but never have I known of u case where a constructive 'how to do it' was given at ' the same time. As strange as It -may sound to some, no one can walk correctly or have a per feet carriage and have an improper chest position neither can a -gesture be properly 'hung' (to use a technical expression) on a body not properly balanced. Not one person in 100 can walk correctly when conscious of be ing watched, not one in a thousand knows how to sit and be able to shift thestrunk without curving or stiffen ing the spine or dropping the chest when leaning over a desk or table. 2ven our best public speakers know little abofft throwing the voice in large auditoriums without spoiling the quality and the number , who use facial expression as a definite asset is negligible.
