We Turn This into This

J u d g i n g a C i t y b y I t s M u s i c

The splendid work of our Symphony Orchestra under Mr. van Hoogstraten's leadership has given our people a greater love for music. .And now the Opera is here again and al l lovers of good music are correspondingly happy.

The frequency and qual i ty of music performances is a fa i r l y t rustworthy criterion by which to judge a people.

A small country town or one which is backward i n matters of a r t and music very seldom has or can afford to have opera performances w o r t h while.

This is one of the reasons why people put up w i t h the inconveniences, the racket, the rush, the nerve-wrecking pace connected w i t h c i ty l i fe , namely, that they can enjoy good music from t ime to time.

B u t i n order to enjoy good music one should not be bothered w i t h too many household chores, especially not w i t h unpleasant ones. I t is hard to imagine a man put t ing on evening dress w i t h immaculate linen and then have to stoke the furnace before he leaves home. Even though he didn ' t get himself soiled, i t wouldn't put h i m in the very best possible frame of mind to enjoy the opera. Compare this w i t h the wonderful advantages enjoyed by Portland people i n having a Gasco furnace w i t h a thermostatic control regulate their heating so that neither the man nor the wife has to touch the bloomin' t h i n g at a l l , a t al l .

Then again the lady i n her prettiest gown should feel at ease and not fat igued in order to enjoy the sweet melodies and beauti ful orchestrations of a performance. I f she has been running down to the basement to heat some water for this or that, she is hardly in the best mood to enjoy music. A quiet nap .might suit her better. But when a lady haas, the advantages of the new Gascotrol, which can be attached to any tankheater, and by simply pushing a button she can l ight her tankheater and i t keeps a certain quant i ty of water hot a l l the t ime, then she can be in a frame of mind where music indeed has charms.

I might go on and i l lustrate about the Gas Company's wonderful Smoothtop, the electric washer or the Radiantfire, a l l of which save the woman of the

. house many a backache. B u t the curtain w i l l soon rise and you may want to look, at the rest of the program.

OKtPi However, i f you don't have the latest conveniences i n Gas appliances, be y 1 ' s u r e and get i n touch w i t h the Gas Company and you may have some surprises ' ' coming to you; especially in Gas ranges, the latest of which embody every

good feature of al l other methods of cooking, w i thout their shortcomings, and al l are sold so as to be i n reach of any pcketbook.

P R O G R A M — C O N T I N U E D Story of the Opera

The story relates the love of Sir Edgar Ravenswood for the lovely Lucia, sister of Lord Ashton, whose political opposition to Sir Edgar was made the more bitter by the fact that he (Lord Ashton) was holder of the forfeited Ravenswood estates. Her brother, furthermore, desires Lucia to marry Lord A r t h u r Bucklaw, as such a union would be beneficial financially to Ashton. Lucia , however, prefers the poor Ravenswood, and declares her love for h im.

While absent on a Journey, Sir Edgar dispatches many a proof of his f idel i ty to Luc ia ; they are, however, intercepted by her brother. Luc ia is s t i l l true to her love. Final ly , Ashton forges a paper tel l ing of the unfaithfulness of Ravenswood. Lucia, dr iven almost to madness, at length consents to become the bride of Bucklaw.

The marriage takes place, but amid the festivities of the guests, after the newly wedded pair retire, groans are heard proceeding from the nupt ia l chamber. Lord Bucklaw is discovered bleeding to death. The storm of remorse has proved too much for Lucia , who, in wild mania, brandishes the sword of her husband whom she has slain. Soon her senses return, but only as life departs. The terrible event precipitates her death, and awakes remorse in the heart of Lord Henry Ashton. Sir Edgar r turns to take a last look upon her whom he loved, and finds that she has been f a i t h f u l unto death.

S t o r y of the Opera The text of this opera is by Adelheid Wette . I t is based on a Gr imm fa i ry t a l e . I t

is i n strong- contrast w i t h the gloomy, tragic p l o t s of the ma jor i ty of grand operas, i t s fresh, joyous simplic ity and fa iry -s tory charm relieving the somber tone of these tragic stories. I t was f i rs t produced at Weimar, i n 1893. I t s f i r s t American production was at the Metropolitan Opera House in 1895. The "Babes in the Wood" furnish the motive and f i rs t suggested itself to the composer to amuse his sister's children. Af terward elaborated into a complete opera, i t has become one of the most important and interesting of modern works.

P R O G R A M — C o n t i n u e d Two German peasant children, Hans and Gretohen, go into the woods to pick s t raw

berries, and get lost. Frightened by the growing darkness, the children kneel to pray and are found by the Sandman fairy , who sings them to sleep, while angels and fairies watch over them. They are awakened by the Dewman and in their wanderings come to the gingerbread house of the wi tch , who bakes children into gingerbread and eats them. As they nibble at the gingerbread fence, the w i t ch casts a spell over them and heats the oven to bake them. When she opens the oven door to see whether the oven is hot enough, Gretohen pushes her in and shuts the door. When the w i t ch dies, the gingerbread children come to life and dance around the two children in joy. They f inal ly are found by their parents and taken home.

The opera opens w i t h a very beautiful prelude, which begins w i t h the "Prayer of the Children" played softly, later swelling" to fu31 power. Then comes a passage pictur ing morning in the forest, on which pastoral scene breaks rudely the "Hocus pocus," or witches' dance. The prelude closes w i t h a re turn of the prayer theme.

The f i rs t act begins in the house of Peter, Hansel making brooms and Gretel k n i t t i n g . Gretel begins the old German folksong, "Susie, What ' s the News?" w i t h its nonsense about the geese who are barefoot because they have no shoes. Hansel, more interested in his stomach than barefooted geese, wants something to eat and Gretel reproves h im. Peter enters and finds the children gone after strawberries. I n the aria, "The Old W i t c h , " he frightens his wife by te l l ing how the w i t c h entices children to her honey-cake house and bakes them into gingerbread in her oven.

Act two shows the depths of the forest into which the children have wandered. Hansel picks berries while Gretel weaves garlands of flowers. As darkness comes and the children grow frightened, the Sandman appears and sings, " I A m the Sleep F a i r y . " The children sleep and angels are seen watching over them.

As the curtain rises on act three the children are seen s t i l l asleep in the forest. The Dawn fa iry shakes dewdrops on them and they awake. The mist c lears 'away and the witch's house appears. The children approach i t . The w i t ch comes out and casts the spell over them. She makes a good fire in the stove and rides wi ld ly around the room on a broomstick singing the "Witch ' s Dance."

S t o r y of t h e O p e r a Count D i L u n a had two sons. The younger was supposed to have been bewitched by

a gypsy woman, who was therefor burned alive. Azucena, the latter 's daughter, swore vengeance. She succeeded in kidnaping the younger son of the old Count, because of her mother's fate. W i t h h im she repaired to the stake at which her mother's ashes were sti l l to be seen. B y mistake Azucena threw her own babe into the flames instead of the stolen child. She fled to her tribe, bearing the boy w i t h her. He grew to superb manhood, and was known as Manrico the Troubadour. I n the meantime the Count had died. His older son succeeded to the t i t l e . The new Count was in love w i t h Duchess Leonora.

ACT I—Manrico, disguised, has been crowned victor of a tourney by the Duchess Leonora. A love results, shared by both. One n ight the Count, while in the Royal Gardens, is surprised by the voice of the troubadour. Leonora, attracted by the song, has come from her palace. Mistaking the Count for his unknown brother, she hastens to him. Manrico has seen and is jealous. He and the Count duel. Manrico is not injured. He joins the army and leaves for the wars, is found on the battlef ield by Azucena. She removes him to her mountain home and there restores h im to health.

ACTS I I and I I I — H e learns that Duchess Leonora, believing h im dead, is about to enter a convent. He sets out and overtakes Leonora just in time, conducting her to Castellor, which is at once besieged by D i Luna. The troubadour is preparing for his marriage when he suddenly learns that a gypsy (his supposed mother) is to be burned alive, having been taken by the enemy as a spy. Hastening to rescue her he is repulsed and taken prisoner. On the eve before the day set for the execution of mother and son, Leonora suddenly appears before D i Luna, offering her hand in marriage in exchange for the life of Manrico. The Count agrees.

ACT IV—Leonora is permitted to enter the prison to release Manrico. On her way, however, she takes poison. Manrico, who doubts Leonora, now sees her faithfulness. Di Luna enters, takes in the situation at a glance, and orders that Manrico be ki l led. During the execution the Count drags Azucena to the window that she may behold the fate of her son. She then exposes her secret, and cries, "Manrico is thy brother. Mother, thou art avenged." >
