Music Notes As not many in Medford or the valley know of Mine. Tracy-Young's residence here, the following inter view may he of interest. Accepting her cordial invitation to cull, the writer "went aboard" ihc convenient inliirtirlinn one rather warm . after noon nnd journeyed to Wimer street, Ashland. On Wimcr street one iin ally conies to Wimcr Heights, nnd climbs und climbs nnd climbs. Then, turning into the shadiest lune where it requires no stress of the imogin oneself miles from civilization, one comes shortly to the home of Madame Tracy, Irom wnosc window is a most inspiring view of surrounding orchards and mountains. The very delightful situation is a re comense for all difficulties in reaching it, nnd enhanced the pleas ure of tho remainder of the after noon not a little. A pupMt waiting l., f..r n Inison ticriod, kindly gave place, and I was led to o comfy .i,;i nr.. ,i. ...... t .. ' program of five numbers, the oom posers including Chopin, Liszt nnd Rubenstein, afterward demonstrating of technique nnj phrasing. Madame Trucv was born in Wilton, Me., near the home of Lillian Nor dica, and is proud of her American ism. She graduated from the New- England Conservatory of Music in Boston under J. C. I). Parker. Fames, Farrar, Nordicn nnd many other fa mous ones have been students nt that Very splendid musical college. Later, Leschetizky became her teacher and remains her idol; and ideal, his method the ''only one," in her opin ion. With all her kindness, Madame Tracy does not say very much about her own accomplishments, but a few notable occurrences mentioned were as follows: She has been the guest of and played for Kaiser Wilholm three times, the former czar of Russia once, appeared with the Boston Symphony Orchestra six times, also with the Strauss orchestra in Vienna. Toured with Otto Heggner six months. She has played in all the principal cities in Europe nnd was contemplating a tour thru South America, which was cancelled be cause of war conditions, which seem to hnve affected the musical artists as much and more than some of the matter of remunerative audiences. Madame Tracy's 'particular "love" and specialty is concert work with orchestra, and Busoni is one of her favorite pianists tho she speaks of the wonderful staccato work of God- owsky and of Emil Snucr of Vienna and his progressive piano composi tions so helpful for students. Like her lifelong friend, the late Carrono, Mudarae Tracy does not enre a great deal for the very modern music, the old masters always holding firsl place in her heurt, altho recognizing the excellence of modern Russian and American composes She speaks also of Cesar Franc as a composer. Madame Tracy is the only woman pianist wlu has played his "Sym phonic Poems." She likens Frunc to Bach. Let us be grateful again for our Rogue river apples. They have been responsible for the acquis it ion 'of many splendid citizens and distinguished personalities. Madame Tracy is no exception. It is because of an orchard she is among us. For how long she does not know, and the indefinitcness of her residence here is pleasant as far as we are con cerned. , ' . , With many duties and many hours' practice daily; she yet finds time for a few students. The truly great ar tists are those who give of their own knowledge and experience, assistoncc nnd encouragement to the novice and amateur, as so many hnvo done and are doing. Those who achieve know of the wistful yearning, the strug gle, the stupendous incentive to ent denvor in a little interest tuken by those who have "arrived," and the deep, deep gratitude felt by most stu dents to the dear instructor, be it Hcrr, Signor, Mudiune or Mr. An event which mny be called mu- sicnl, sociul or patriotic is the con cert given in the near future by the Soldiers' Auxiliary under the man agement of the president, Jeanne Lnnctot Brackinreed. No efforts arc being spared to make the productipn interesting and enjoyable. Both nr tistie nnd original, with tho best tal ent obtainable, and given for such n worthy cause, the entertainment will be well worth the support ot the pub lic, which it will doubtless receive. Among those to be featured are Miss Kutherine Swem, dnnsenso; Irene Hampton Isaacs, pinnistc; Miss Adelc Hrniilt, dramatic soprano, and Mr. William Vowter, baritone soloist. Miss Swem will -lie remembered 1'or her solo dunces nt various times in the (Mist. For this occasion she will havo the assistance of Thomas Swem of . New York in the designing of n special background, nnd the act promises to be unusually beautiful. Irene Hampton Isnnes will be heard in two masterpieces for the piano, the second number with orchestral nc companimcnt as given by Mrs. Isnncs on tour the past season. Miss Brnult hus studied under competent teuchers while at Reed college, where she was soprano soloist during her junior nnd senior years, and chosen by the music conimitteo ot tho col lege to bo soloist ut the commence ment concert this spring. Mine Jeanne Jornelli wns one of Miss Brnult's instructors, and Dr. Mux dishing her teacher in interpretii, lion. At present Miss Bruult is a pu pil of George Andrews. William Vawter has been a favor itc since his very first appearance and so continues. Having had the advantage of instruction in various cities and in the home town, and pos sessing a happy combination of tal ent, voice and personality, the prom ising young buritonc is always a de light to hear. Other fcutiircs of the program arc not to be disclosed at present, with the exception of a choral number -ung by the brnvc boys of Company C under the direction of Ucorge An drews. t t . Mr. and Mrs. Edward Charles Root left recently for Minncaioli to visit relatives. On returning they will TO BE GRACEFUL IN LESSON FROM DOROTHY DICKSON By 1DAH McGLO.NB GlfiSON; "Dorothy Dickson has the delicate ly modest grace of the mid-Vlctorlan period combined with tho daring of 1917," said the man who had gone with me to the last edition of tho Fol lies. .' ; There Is only one recipe for grace and that Is tho perfect mechanical rhythm of the body combined with perfect unconsciousness of self.

Mrs. John Gallagher, entertained in- tomially Tuesday afternoon for their cousin, Mrs. Herbert Clarke, a grad uate of the Obcrlin Conservatory of Music, and an accomplished music ian. Mrs. Clarke was Miss Eleanor Merrill of Spokane. Miss Estcllo Wcnlwprth, soprano, recently sang Aidu, ono of her mosl fuinous roles, at Knvinin Park, Chi cago, ns guest-artist. Quoting again from Musical America: "The middle and upper part of her register are delicately beuutiful, and the lower tones are of rich quality. In the soft passages, us in '0 Putria Mia,' her tones were voluptuously lovely und of fine velvety texture." Following the custom of many stars, Miss Wentworth loured last season on the Orphciim cireuil, Brs. Irene Isaacs being her ni'coiupnniste and assisting urtiste. Clnrcnco Kellogg, a former pian ist and teacher of Medford, is pro gressing steadily in his chosen pro fession in'I.OS Angeles. Mr. Kellogg pluys in the studio of one of the prominent vocal teachers in the city. Kecently he look part in n, concert given by Charles Wakefield Cud inun, Ihc American composer. Company C is achieving n local reputation for good voices and con certed singing. t The pnifcxsioual musician or the music lover who cannot be either long or far away from home will be wise to plan for n journey to Sun Francisco Ibis fall. The symphony season opens October l'J and will give twenty-two concerts.

One must gesture In a series of curves and ono must have perfect contral over every part of one's body. All this must be a mutter of habit and unconscious. There is nothing like dancing to promote grace as the rhythmic mo tions of the body to music usually produce such pleasure that one for- get's oneself. city at very reasonable prices, seems to have become a penminent institu lion, and well worth hearing, accord ing to the music critics of the city. ' A musieul soiree wns held Friday afternoon nt the home of Mr. und nirs. . vuus jiecKwitli on King s Highway, when their guests were most delightfully entertained by Miss Ucmcntinc Kellogg, n pianist of dis tinguished gifts. Miss Kellogg, who was a guest at the Carlton home, is a resident of East Orange, N. J. Those fortunate enough to hear her were most enthusiastic in their ap preciation of her talent und ability. It will he very pleasant news for musieul circles of Medford and th Hoguo River valley to learn that Miss Horn Grey hus been prevailed upon by her many friends nnd admirers to remain in Medford for the coming yeur instead of returning to New York as she had originally planned It will bo remembered that Miss Grey was one of our principal piunists and teachers a few years ago. She left hero for New York four years ago with the intention of broadening her musical vision nnd milking her self efficient in her chosen line. I)ur ing this period she studied with the very best musters to be found in tin metropolis, including the celebrated teacher and composer, Jean Paul Kiirstcincr. She also mude quite n reputation accompanying for many of the pro fessional singers in the cast, also studied the grand 0cros under (he well known 0xrutii' directors. Miss Grey gave many recitals at and about New York on the pipe organ ns well as piano. This experience nnd study, to, gcthcr with the opportunity of hear ing all there wns good in music and breathing nothing but the musical at mosphere for four years has brought her home to us a well-rounded-out nnd leu musician. From this on she will have her studios in the George Andrews suits in tho St. Mark's building. A.
