ince a Portland audience was charmed
, by j the -' wonderful voice of Scott,
He ! has many aJmlrers here among

wilt be welcomed by the vast majority
of Portland's musical colony. His

from critics where he has appeared.
It affords him splendid opportunities

' 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.
J Scott's operatic debut was made at
. the Manhattan opera house. New York,
' In 1909, as the High Priest in "Aida."
r When Oscar Hammersteln ceased to
: produce opera in this country. Scott
went to Europe and sang during the
' season of 1910-11 at the Teatro
Adriano, in Rome. Achieving signal
uccess there, particularly in the role
of Mephlstopheles in "Faust," he was
T engaged by the Chicago Opera com
, pany, with which he was leading basso
Zqr three seasons, until ne was en
caged by the Metropolitan Opera com
pany, of New York.' A versatility of
. tha most remarkable kind is disclosed
, by Mr. Scott. . He has especially dem
onstrated his ' admirable fitness as a
Wagnerian singer. His"voice is a
; genuine basso of exceptional range
and power.

were sung. Mrs. Drake played the
piano accompaniments tor -the chorus
and Mrs. Divine for Miss Zimmer. The
sight reading class at 7:30 was well
attended. 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.

Dent Mowrey, well known pianist,
who now makes Seattle his home,
was most enthusiastically received in
a concert recently at Tacoma under
the auspices of the Ladies' Musical
club. 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." I -

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.

AMERICAN OPERA

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. Clay & Co
of San Francisco. Especial interest
is aroused in these songs Decause ola
I the fact that Lawrence Zenda is
former Portlander. Rosaliene . TraVls.
Lawrence Zenda composed tne music
while Mr. Sterling supplied the,wordl.
excepting for one song, "Holy River
of Sleep." for which Sterling wrote
both poem and music. 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.

and "the result of lack of proper phyii-
cal culture," said George Hotchki
Street in explaining the need of cor
rect physical culture, the - object of
which. 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.
"The corrective feature in this new
system is a simple but effective analy
sis of vowel and consonant and the
fundamental use thereof.

The performer begins, by standing on
one foot and rubbing the other against
it, twisting his fingers, swallowing
naif a dozen times, making numerous
faces and finally in a squeaky treble
stutters the first few words another
grotesque movement of the body . and
a rew. more grimaces and then some
more lines. Where did he get it? From
life and it Is not funny. I wish some
one would explain just why a child
6 or 7 years of age should not get-up
to speak in class recitation; for Sunday
schools or anywhere else, with as dl
rect and frank, confident manner and
clear diction as an adult"
Dihn Gilly, baritone, formerly of the

There may be a lot of good singers
in General Pershing's army, and
they may know a great many popular
up-to-date songs, but when It came to
moving into the trenche for real war
fare, the other day, it was the old, old
song, "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the
Boys. Are Marching." that the French
villagers heard as the' boys . went
marching on.
The musieal skit given last week at
the Auditorium by the two little pian

later for some war fund entertainment.
