Brure Knowlton ar rived In Portland last week from St. Paul and were so well pleased that they hae opened a studio and. intend to become permanent residents. Mr. Knowlton Is head of the. Si. Paul Musics' academy. conductor. composer and teacher of piano and voice, and MrsJ Knowlton is a pianist. As composer Mr. Knowlton favors major works, such s oratorios, cantatas and choruses for male, women's and mixed voices. Among his compositions are "The KinR" ora torio, the cantatas , "Bninnhilda" for mixed quartet, chorus and two pianos ; the cantata "The Seasons," for ladies' trio, accompanied by string: quartet alone, and several others that have been produced In the East. A grand opera. The Monk of Toledo," is one of his creations and he has to hi credit many choral works. Mr. and Mrs. Knowlton made the trip to Portland by auto and they covered the distance In two weeks. The only serious mishap occurred at a point 12 miles east of The Dalles, where a truck crowded them into a ditch with the result that they had to be towed In for repairs. The vbrst roads were en countered in "Montana. In South Da kota they found it an Interesting drive through the Standing Rock Indian res ervation, where for a distance of 90 miles the-dlrt road was found as smooth as a floor and straight as an arrow with only one village to Impede the speed. Mr. Knowlton said apparently 'there was no speed Jimit on that road. Miss Blanche Nelson, English apprano. Is a new soloist and vocal teacher In 5 Portland.

Theo Karle, who is not an English cynic but a well known American tenor booked for a concert at The Auditorium, Saturday, October 1, sa) this remark is true of the singer. Much may be done with a singer if you catch him young," is Ihe way this gifted artist paraphrases and which he reasons out as follows : "Most people take up singing much too late in life. Catch the boy or girl early. Let them know and understand good music, and sing in time and tune, before physical , development has taken them to a point where defects cannot be remedied. Teach them to assist nature in the care of the most perfect organ ever produced the human singing mechanism. Then when they grow up it won't 'be so hard, for their eyes and ears will be accustomed to seeing and hearing good music, and they will pitch clear, good. note properly, and evolve simple harmonise for It before the seri ous work of a professional career is undertaken."
