who will give her first concert for

greeted by numberless friends
who have watched her progress
since she first began appearing in
public.
Miss Schultz's playing is de
scribed as free and audac ous with
unusual smoothness and an ap
pealing tone even in the moet
technical and brilliant passages.
She has temperment, intelligence
and a fine flexible twist that is ap
parent in the brilliant numbers as
well as in the! softer lullabies.
Miss Schultz's many friends in
Salem are doing everything in
their power to make the concert
a success since the proceeds of the
concert will go toward helping her
to continue her work in New York
where she will return in August.
J. Hutchins of Portland will be
Miss Schultz's accompanist. He

cal activity beting fostered by
local musicians there stands out
the third and final concert of the
A polio club's fifth season. This
concert at the Grand theater on

as well as the most artistic sea
son of the club's history. Con
tinually on the alert for musical
selections and special features
with which to broaden and sharp
en the pleasure element for its
patrons, the club's director and

what will undoubtedly be pro
nounced a marked success after
the forthcoming program. It is
promised that fo versatility of ef
fect, vocal and emotional, th
program selections for? the con
cert will have had no previous
equal.
Adding zest and Interest to
the event will be the rendition of
"Boating Song." composed and
arranged for male voices and ded
icated to the Apollo club by Misa
Bruce Putnam, whose ability as
a "composer of great merit Is fast
becoming prominent in the world
of music. Her composition has
been found, by the singers, to be
cleverly different;-adaptable to
great possibilities in expression
and harmonic effects and having
the earmarks of genius among
modern works Schubert's Sere
nade., sung by the club at its clos
ing concert last season, will be
repeated at this concert at the
special reqnest or a large number
of associate members. Two
humorous numbers in which
"Teddy" Boas, tbe'basoo comedi
an, will be right in his gldry, are
contained in the program.
Not to be overlooked as a big
feature of this final concert of
the season is the engagement of
