Ivan Humason of Portland was at that time the druggist at Medford and his store was the rendezvous of all newcomers. The first day in town Andrews and his musical director, Charles D. Hazelrlgg, and other mem bers of the former opera troup, were escorted to the Humason store. When evening came, Humason, who was one of the leaders in tho community's mu sical activities, as ho was also here in the earlier days of Portland, excused himself, saying he had to attend a re hearsal of "Tho Mikado," to be given by. local talent. Hq had not the, slight est suspicion of tho new'comcrs being opera folk. "Come back tomorrow," he said Vj Mr. Andrews and his companions, "and I'll take you around town and introduce you to the business men. Andrews hinted they'd like to at tend the rehearsal and they. were invited. The young lady who had played the piano accompaniments was delayed somehow and while waiting for her Hazelrigg entertained with a number of piano selections. That was line, nerhnns he could fill in until the pian ist arrived. He thought so and began to iilav the opening scene from the opera. Hazelrigg discovered that the sing ers had only a few books of the score nnrt hnnded his to Mr. Humason, who was directing. "Take mine." ho said, "I think 1 can cot along without it," and continued nlavinE letter perfect "Humason was astounded, but went on with the rehearsal. A young banker was to sing the rolo of Pooh-Bah. He did not know his well and his acting was Komewhat crude. - By this time Andrews had climbed unon the stage. "Perhaps I can help you a little," he 'suggested as he stepped In and sang the rolo with great abandon. "What's this," exclaimed the fered various excuses, saying anion other things his education in musical appreciation had been neglected, and so forth. However, he finally accepted. "They are all farmors, but can sing and act," Humason assured him. The opening scene was put over in a way that revealed years of training. Then entered Henry Gnrson, as Nang-ki-Po. a tall, handsome tenor with a bell-like voice. Ho was originally from New York. You say he's. a farmer?" asked the: Portlander turning to his host Humason. "Yep, lie's a farmer from tho ury Creek district." Ko-Ko entered and threw the house into convulsions of laughter. Another farmer, 1 suppose, whis pered the visitor. 1 "He's from the woods oacK 01 iowii, a homesteader." When Yum-Yum, Pitti-Sing and Poep-Roo, the three mams, trippeu i'airv-like upon the stage, the Portland business man and opera connoisseur became mildly sarcastic. Suppose these are farmers wives: 'That they be," answered Humason truthfully. Well. then, tho dinners on ine, ou certainly havo some remarkable farm ers down here." ' w-l.lf., I,latnm 1 ft T.
