When Mary Garden was in Portland

Leach "Kas and advising him'that Port

into' concert work. It- is largely on
the strength of this and the future im

musical maturity Which many of

career of Royal Dadmun, the eastern

Williamstown, Mass.; which is also the
home of Williams college., where Dr.
Griffin' was professor of mathematics
before coming to Reed.' When Dr. and
Mrs. i Griffin , first went to Williams
town they made their home with Mr.
Dadmun's family, which is one of the
oldest in this old New England towrtj
Tbe house in which they lived, was oc-i
cupled by the v singer's ancestors - for
generations. Royal Dadmu was in
ths early twenties at the time Dr. and
Mrs., Griffin knew him Wd was pur
suing in New . York the cultivation of
the beautiful voice which has brought
him fame in the East and whieh will
bring him to Portland ; for the first
time this winter. , ? H1 visits , were
memorable by - the music he '.made In
the house and by his appearance with
the musical -organizations of the col
lege town. One of the happiest of these
occasions which Dr.. and Mrs. Griffin
rMnember is that upon which Dadmun
sang the solos In performance of the
"Creation" by the Mendelssohn choir
of Williamstown. From these begin
