Apollo Club Will
Appear Here
April 29
THE coming concert of the
Apollo .Club of Portland
which is to be given Mon
day evenfag April. 29 at the El
sinore theatre will provide an ex
this big male chorus organization
in a program of solo and ensemble
numbers., Many of Portland's
most popular professional and
mature men singers are members
ot this chorus which ranks as one
of the best in the country.
A number of years ago this club
gave a concert here which was at
tended bv a canacitv audienca and
the memory will no doubt linger
in the minds of those who attend
ed, as the concert was a near sen
sation and every number offered
was given prolonged applause.
This season marks the 20th
anniversary of the club and is
oemg celebrated in Portland bv
three gala concerts two of which
nave already been eiven the
third to follow our Salem concert.
It is of interest to note that Wil

ery one of the SO concerts given
by the. club and is responsible for
tne nign plane or the elub s
achievement and standing. There
are others in the club who have
been members for more than ten
years, which perhaps accounts for
the. wonderful "team work" that
is evident in all the club's singing.
Tbe Apollo Club is a strictly
non - money-making organization
and the Salem concert will Intro
duce the club to many who have
never neard one of its programs.
The advance seat sale clearly
indicates that a capacity audience
may be looked for.

the concert include Miss Virginia

comment were Mendelssohn's "On
Wings of Song," "Blue Danube"
transcriptions from Wagner,
works of the moderns, Debussy
and Bela Bartok.

tian which Is of her own com
posing. Following the program Sliss

"TlfUSIC WEEK" should hold an exalted place in the minds
llx of all true Americans for our music is one of our weak
est places so far as foreign criticism is concerned. No effort
should be spared to bring into the souls of Americans under
standing and appreciation not only for the old world music
but for the music of our own production.
Faith in the fact that Americans are soon to equal if
not to excel the continental music in both production and ap
preciation was increased for those who were able to see the
203 high school students who appeared in symphony concert
April 18 in Spokane before.
the Inland Empire Education
association. These youngsters
opened their program with
the "Star Spangled Banner"
and -the audience was sup
posed to sing but when the
bows of eighty violins struck
the strings there was such a soul
reaching throb that most people
found their voices muffled in an
emotional thrill that was almost
painful.
The appearance of this orches
tra, the best from all the schools
of the northwest, Salem had a
representative as did Silverton.
was the first of its kind. It is the
start to teach music, and all it
means to people, when they are
young enough to become fully im
pregnated with its beauty. In an
other generation we should, as a
nation, show deep effects of this
training.
"Music Week" is still another
way to Impress the value of music.
While it has most to do with
adults It still must have wide
reaching effects through coopera
tive efforts.
The opening program for Salem
"Music Week" will be an appro
priate one for it Is a MaeDowell
benefit, and no American has done
more more American music than
MaeDowell. He is Internationally
known and his compositions are
American with a new and original
note of their own.
Miss Frances Virginia Melton Is
in charge ot this benefit. It will
be given, as has been announced
before'in these columns, in Waller
hall, Willamette university. Ev
erything has been donated for this
program and the proceeds .will go
in totality to the Petersborough
colony in New Hampshire, which
was established as a result of the
desires ot MaeDowell to create a
.place where artists from any field
Mrs. Willard Marshall, who
entertained for Miss Eugenia
Zieber
might come and work for short
periods of time and work unmo
lested from the outside world.
Miss Melton announces that tbe
program will be divided into two
divisions. The first part of the
evening will be used by Miss Eliz
abeth Levy who will present tbe
following violin program:
Group 1 (a) With Sweet
Lavender MaeDowell

Leopold Awr

It will be Interesting to know
for those listening to Miss Levy's
program that she has received
within the last few days a picture
of the famous Flonzaley quartet
autographed by each member of
the quartet and addressed to "our
dear colleague, Miss Elizabeth
Levy, in kind remembrance,"
Adolfo Betl and Alfred Pocbon

Cesa Thomson in Brussells as did
Miss Levy. Miss Ruth Bedford
will accompany Miss Levy.
Mrs. Phil Newmyer will sing a
group of MaeDowell songs accom
panied by Mabel S. Powers. This
will complete the first part of the
program.
