G
Talent Must
Be Paid for,
It Is Decided
- By J. l. Wallia
AT laat It has com to pauii.
If in th future somebody hits
: upon the happy Idea of riving an enter-
talnment for the purpose of cleaning
up a llttte surplus for some purpose or
another, that someone will have to pay
real money for the talent that 1 to
draw the house. Of course there will
be exceptions.
Heretofore it has been common prac
' tice to pay for the hall, printing, decora
tions and other Hems that enter !n
connection with entertainments, private
or public, but to secure talent for noth
ing. And it has been possible to a
considerable extent because some artists
have been too timid to say no.
For the past two or three years, how
ever, there has been a movement on
foot to put a atop to the practice of
donating; services, with the result mat
at the luncheon meeting of the Mu
i aiclans' club Tuesday an agreement was
reached by the terms of which all the
toembers of the club will abide.
These are the terms :
1. No singer or Instrumentalist shall
give of his or her services gratis, except
In cases of purely cnaruaDie nacure,
and then only when every party con-
- nectf d with said affair donates his
' services.
2. That the minimum fee for solos
shall be $5. when prlpe of admission
Is 60 cents or less, and that it shall
never be less than 10 times the ad
mission fee, when latter exceeds 50
cents. Minimum fee for accompanists.
$2.50.
8. No teacher shall furnish an artiBt
pupil for any occasion, unlena said pupil
receives at least 12.50.
4. Musicians may give their services
to nuruly muBlcal organizations gratis,
when it is only a club meeting and no
admission charge. Musicians who are
bona fide rncmbm of nonmusical or
ganizations may donate their services
to such organizations.
C. Musicians singing or playing at
funerals or weddings outside of the
church at which they are employed or
are members shall receive not less than
15.
6. Free service shall , be allowed In
the public schools for two years from
January 1, 1920.
Often it has been argued that God
fiven talent should be given freely. There
is neither desire nor intention to dis
pute this, but it should be remembered
that talent must be developed and that
this requires both time, money and,
above all else, persistent and serious
application. Without this talent will
not command money and it is this class
of talent only affected by the musician's
agreement.
It is explained that nothing' In the
agreement Is Intended to conflict with
the laws or price lists of Local No. i9
of the American Federation of Musi
cians, the purpose of the agreement, on
the other hand, being to apply the prin
ciples of that body to a field of work
and a constituency not reached by it.

Tschaikowsky's
"Pathetique"
To Be Feature
FOR the sixth and last of this season's
symphony concerts, popular choice
has elected Tschalkowsky's sixth sym
phony, known as the "Pathetlque."
From Its Inception the Idea of the
"Pathetlque" absorbed Tschalkowsky's
Interest And gave him happiness. Its
idea came to him suddenly, "this
time," as he wrote, "with a program,
but a program of a kind which remains
an enigma to all. Let them guess It
who can." He even stipulated that the
work should be entitled a program sym
phony. After its first successful per
formances, he selected the adjective
"Pathetlque" from among a list of de
scriptive terms suggested by his brother.
The symphony is one of the two
Tschalkowsky selections chosen by
vote. The "Dance of the Whistle Pip
ers" from "The Nut-Craoker" suite is
perhaps the moat melodious of all its
charming episodes.
The prelude to Wagner's "Parsifal"
was begun In the composers sixty
fifth year, when hto theory of the inti
mate relation between the dramatic
poem and its musical expression had
confirmed itself by long practice. A
combination of alliteration, assonance
and rhythm Is employed with distinc
tion In "Parsifal," as In "Tristan," with
notation of all the points pertaining to
execution, made by Wagner himself.
with his usual extraordinary care and
patience.
Grieg's charming suite, based on
BJorson'B "Siguard Jorsalfar," is the final
choice upon a program which will sum
up In all its numbers the pleasure the
symphony orchestra has afforded a
growing audience throughout the year.
This concert will be given on March 24.

of New York, who, a few days ago, upon
the Invitation of- Dr. Lightner Witmer,

to Philadelphia a second time to give

Thibaud Is Said
To Draw Tone
Of Great Beauty
THE artist to whom Jacques Thibaud
has most frequently been compared
Is Ole Bull. Several prominent critics
have declared that Thibaud has many
of the traits which the great Scandi
navian violinist possessed in such a re
markable degree.
The Boston Journal, in commenting' on
the French artist's playing, pronounced
Thlbaud's tone "exquiaite," adding that
Its beauty was not due wholly to his
superb violin.
To try to compare sounds In language
Is folly, according to the same writer,
but he goes on to assert that there is
more similarity between Mr. Thibaud
and Ole Bull than any of the French
artist's predecessors. "Some older folk,"
he declares, "would like to hear this
young man try his hand. In an odd quarter-hour,
at some of the simple and pa
thetic things that Ole Bull played with
such qselting expression. It is the soul
of things the young Frenchman seems
to be seeking."
Loudon Charlton's success In Inducing
Thibaud to visit America was the re
sult of long negotiation. Thlbaud's west
ern tour is under the direction of the
Ellison-White Musical bureau. He will
appear at the Helllg theatre March 31.

FIR Its third and final concert of this
season the Apollo club announces the
appearance of Florence Macbeth, prima
donna soprano of the Chicago Grand
Opera company, at The Auditorium April
1. This being her first public appearance
in Portland the,event will no doubt draw
a capacity audience from local music
lovers.
Miss Macbeth, who Is given the title .of
"The Minnesota Nightingale," is reported
to be the smallest and younrest of the
really great operatic and concert artists
this country has produced. She has
reached the pinnacle of musical fame
within an amazingly short period of
time.
Following- a notable list of brilliant
European appearances she returned to
this country, where she was at once
given leading soprano roles with the
Chicago Grand Opera company. The
Chicago Daily News says of her recent
appearance: "The highly colored song
and cadenzas' poured from her Hps like
jewels, and they were Jewels of the
finest water." The New York Post
says: "A rare treat to listen to such
singing, so pure, so spontaneous, so ar
tistic without artifice."
While a stranger to Portland audi
ences. Miss Macbeth counts many Port
land friends among local musical and
church circles.
The Apollo club's part of the program
promises to be of the usual high stand
ard, combining several entirely new
compositions with groups of old time
favorites In simple effective settings.

ire. There are in the city seven such
1 u lu
j amusement houses, with seating capaci
ties ranging from 300 to 1200. The
standard price of admission is 1 crown
(6.8 cents) for adults and SO ore (13.4
cents) for children. During the year
1919, under private ownership, . the sale
of admission tickets at these seven thea
ters amounted to 2.424,616 crowns ($649,
797) as compared with 1,853,823 crowns
($496,825) in 1918 and 1,400,549 crowns
($375,347) in 1917.
Bergen, with its suburbs, numbers
about 100,000 people, and thus during
1919 an average of $6.50 for each man,
woman, and child in the city and vicinity
was spent at motion picture houses, as
compared with $4.96 in 1918 and $3.75
In 1917.
Nine-tenths of the films shown are of
American origin, wild west, mining camp,
logging camp, and Alaskan pictures pre
dominating. The other tenth is made up
of Swedish and Danish films, with an
occasional German or Norwegian film.

Quality, Not Price
Should Determine Your
Ch
of
oice
In these days careful buyers are asking, not "how
much," but "how good." They have learned that
there is no economy in "cheap" goods, and that
merchandise of quality is the only kind which
enables them to get lasting value for the money
expended.
In no line of merchandise is quality more necessary
than in Pianos. A cheaply constructed, poorly fin
ished instrument of mediocre tone and uncertain
standing, offers neither value nor satisfaction. Price
is the only talking point for such instruments.
Good piano dealers will not carry these kind of
instruments. It is true Pianos of dependable quality
will cost a hvtle more but that extra cost is nothing
compared to thqyear of use and complete satie
f action you will have in return. We carry a most
comprehensive line of Pianos many of them very
old and famous makes, such as the Steinway but
they are all of dependable quality. The prices cover
a wide range, and we gladly arrange convenient
payment terms.
