SPRINGTIME. which is 'the
childhood of the year, and
therefore the most joyous,
has in it something or saunesg.
and a good deal of depression.
Whether it reminds one of days
that have been; of what might
have been, or reviews a longing
to achieve the impossible, one
cannot tell; one simply knows
that the quality of gravity is
there.
There are elements of melan
choly in a epring evening which
do not yield to accurate analysis
tat which persist through the
senses. They are the imponder

Possibly all esth"!tlcism has the

Among Salem's music devotees
there nre those who have learned,
without qulzx or quibble, that a
concert by the Apollo club has
come to s gnl y an evening of gen
uine delirrht and educational val
ue. By them it is realized that
not every city the s'ze of Salem
can boy. st of an ensemble singing
organization of male voices such
as hns teen developed here. Al.o.
that each concert represents on
the part of the club members
much hard work, study and sac
rlfic;. Everlasting patience on
the part of the director and an.
abundance of "give and take"
spir t on the part of each singer
have been found to be two of lh
highly essential requirements for
th successful continuance of a
male sing ng organization, and it
is to the credit o' Salem's Apollo
c'ub that, among- the 30 voices
now composing the chorus, a
large majority of its charter mem
bership of four years sgo is rep
resented. With each succeeding
concert the club, through its stu
dy of the public taste, has also de
veloped a splendid conception of
a pleasing and well-balanced pro
gram. Accordingly, there Is no
doubt but that the seiect'ons t" o
rendered cn the evening cf May
4 will measure up with and per
haps surpass any previous groui)
sung by the chorus.-
Irene Pavlosha. who on account
of the cancellation or Virginia
Rca's wes'ern tour has been en
gaged as soloist for" the concert,
will, no doubt, score-big :n Sa
lem. She Is young and full of
animation and magnetism. Hei
personality at once pleases

the arrival of the passe period Is
easily realized through Madam
Pavloska. She win arrive in a

enjoy a good period of rest be
fore her appearance on me 101-
low.ng Wednesday evening.
May Day Plans
Plans for the annual May day
festivities at Willamette univer
sity are rapidly Bearing comple
tion. The May day advisory com
mittee, composed of Ben RIckll.
Verm Ferguson and Grace Brain
erd, have been working with Man
ager Edward Notson for some
time and the most Important de
tails have been worked out. The
days will be Friday and Satur
day, May 6 and 7.
Most of the time-honored cus
toms will be observed again this
year. The May morning breakfast
will take place as usual. There
will be the usual May dances,
graced this time by Queen Mary
II. The girls to take part in the
dances have Deen selected and
work will soon (tart in earnest.

Mary Kvenltne Calbreath, promi

formerly of Salem. The book ha.'
not been out long, but already ha:
been most cordially received by
those who teach music to small
children. At her recent recita
Miss Klma Weller introduced two

Here is the table of contents:
."The Three Bears." "March of the

Authors to Visit
At least two celebrated authors
will visit us this summer, for
a news dispatch says:
'Mrs. Mary Roberts Rlnehart.
noted writer; her husband, Dr.
D. M. Rlnehart, and their two
sons, will take a 30 days' trip in
the Cascade mountains this sum
mer, according to Harry C. Hayes,
hunter and guide of McKenzie
Bridge, who has been engaged by
them.
"The trip will be started near
Mount Hood and will be continued
through to Crater Lake."
The other author to come to
us U no other than Edwin Mark
ham. Oregon poet, who will spend
considerable of the summer trav
ersing the paths and visiting
places familiar to him in child
hood. Edwin Markham is 69
years old this April, being born
that many years ago in Oregon
City. Cities and their crowds
long ago claimed him, but he has
never forgotten Oregon, and is
coming back to let its people
know that he hasn't. He will be
here from May 7 to 17.
Recqsnized by " critics as one
of the leading poets of the Eng
Isih-speaking world, plans are
being made to bring about his
appearance before the public dur
ing his stay. Rumor has it that
he may be brought to Salem.
Writing of Edwin Markham.
whom she claims as a personal
friend, Anne Shannon Monroe,
another Oregon literary product,
gives many interesting little side
lights in a recent article in the
Oregonian. Her pen picture of
him is striking. '
"The picture you have formed
from reading his poems merges
into reality, and your dream
stands materialized before you;
or, if you had no dream, he hursts
on you as something delightfully
i real and big and fresh and fine
and vital.
I "Neither do you think of him
' as old this well-featured man
i with snow-white hair and beard,
j ivory-nale skin, black eyes that
; glow like coals and a hearty, wel
j coming manner that suggests, a
divine appointment from the gods.
' He gives the impression at once
, of being so very human, so very
i sympathetic, so very close to ev
i ery Btruggler. You feel that a
: little child would go to him un
questionably with her broken doll
j and tears, and her mother would
' go to him just as readily with
her larger woes. And yet he is
the merriest of souls, with twink
ling eyes, always ready for a
good laugh or a happy undertak
i ing t any sort. Hi spirit is
indomitably youthful without
youth's tragic aspect; his philos
ophy is that of the sages. He

the musician herself.
To thi3 group the following
item taken from a late issue of
Musical America used with a like
ness of Miss Robinson, w.ll be of
interest:
"A New York debut recital of
interest will bo that of Carol Rob
inson, pianist, at the Garrick the
ater, the afternoon of April 3. Miss
Robinson, whose home is in Chi
cago, has studied exclusively with
Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler, except
for such instruction as her mother
has given her, and her teacher ex
presses herself with the utmost
cordality ofMiss Robinson's art.
She recently scored as soloist with
the Chicago Symphony. Mme.
P.iobmfield-Zelaler says she is a
p'anist of unusual gifts and a re
markable musician. Some little
while since, she played some of
her own compos'tions in recital
and was immediately approached
by a publisher in regard to them.
She has taken several prizes with
her compositions. Last year she
won the f rst prize and also sec
ond place In the contest arranged
by the National Federation of Wo
men's Musical clubs."
The Idol's Grave
Late news dispatches from
Washington carried the story of
the visit to Roosevelt's grave at
Oyster Bay by Rene Vlviani. spe
cial envoy from France, and Ma
dame Ju use rand and Stephane
Lauzanne, editor of Lo Matin,
which was of interest.
The same place was v.sited by
Mrs. George Stahl. former Salem
woman recently, who writing to
Salem friends described the place
in this manner: "One day we
went to Oyster Bay and saw
Roosevelt's grave. He lies in a
little graveyard, much like the
Herren graveyard near the boys'
training school not much more
pretentious. I was surprised to
see so little evidence of care; no
flowers to speak of. We had to
get out of the car, climb a hill up
a very narrow road, and on the
brow of the hill near the fence
was the grave a high iron fence
encircles it a very plain monu
ment marks it. His name, date
of birth and death are inscribed
on it and then below is 'Edith
Kermif his w.fe, borti in such
and such a year. I could not help
but think it must be a strange
sensation to see your name on a
tomostone while you are still
alive. .
"We drove around by his home
too. which is very plain large
grounds and house on a hill over
looking Oyster Bay.
"A week or two ago we went to
one of the big Fifth avenue
churches nrar us and on the bul
letin it stated that that day they
had placed a tablet in memoriutn
of Theodore Roosevelt in his fam
ily pew, which was located in a
certain place in the church. We
happened to be just two seats back
of it after the service we went
up and looked at It a very neat
bronze tablet, with his name
on it."
A Great Artist
Forming a group going down
to Portland the first of the week
to hear Alfred CortoJ, Swiss
French piano star, were Mrs. Wil
liam If. Murghardt. Mrs. John J.
Roberts and Mrs. Percy A. Young
i of Albanv.
Another group motoring down
was composed of Mr. ( and Mrs.
Walter Denton. Miss Elma Weller,
Mrs. Earl Conlsen FlegeV Mls.i
Mildred Brunk and Elbert La
helle. ,
The recjtal was given in the
public auditorium, which hld Rti
audience that taxed th seating
capacity of the buildinpr. The mu
niustcian was demonstrating the
duo-art piano.
"By its fine work." wrote Jos
eph McQueen a'terwards in the
' -''y-i'-y , .:::-:-vi''-'-:'-i::;;i':'-'--
? - '.ft
Oregonian. "Chopin. Llzst, Debus-"
sv and other great Europeans
walked in spirit across the stage,
made their bows, and played upon
that magic piano. Corto is him
self a piano wizard of the first or
der. He is finely equipped in
technique, and Is an Impressionist
of the first rank. He stamps bis
keyboard interpretations with the
tender dreams of a poet, and the
thunder and hidden strength of a
dynamo. Yet with it all Cortot's
piano art is quiet, modest, pol
ished and a decided pleasure to
hear."
In an Issue of "The Little Re
view," Nov. 1918 1 a magazine of
the arts making no compromise
wih the public taste, now sus
pended, a most Interesting com
parison Is found of Cortot and
Harold Bauer. Margaret Ander
son, writing, says: "Cortot is one
of the people who matters. H-?
plays the piano better than al
most anyone. He plays like a
poet, like a religieuse. He Is a
master of all the nuances of the
piano, and he uses his mastery as
an act of worship. His first re
cital In New York was the kind
of thing you are willing to wait
years to hear. I could easily fall
into superlatives.-so I will merely
say: do not miss this man. lie
has the scnone tiefe seele."
And then switching to Bauer
the writer says: I have written so
much or my prediliction for Harold
Bauer's playing that I need not
go Into detail of his first recital
of the season. It seems to me that
he is playing 'dryer this year, 1
mean like wine Hi3 Cesar
Franck has never been so mellow.
He and Cortot are so different
that It might be interesting to
discover their startfng points. It
is though Bauer said 'Li'e has
taught me nothing and 1 play of
that beauty which I cannot for
get.' It Is to th's particular typo
of what may be called 'arrested
development' that Cortot owes
the complete loveliness of his mu
sic. His Chopin is heartbreaking.
Bauer's Chopin is always without
this induced and essentfSl melan
