Society Notes


The Cornelius Vanderbilt yacht North
star was in Portland harbor from SAT-
urddy to Monday and during Sunday
Mr.. Vanderbilt and some ladies Of his
party tcDk a sail down as far as Long
Island on the Steamer Sebascodegan.
The steam yacht Machigonne owned
by Mr.. Curtis of the Curtis Publishing
Company OF Philadelphia. has been in
these waters during the past week and
visited Bailey Island for a few hours
Friday afternoon.
An item OF more than usual interest
which is being copied by many of the
newspapers a the country at present,
Is the reference to- Col. George w.
Campbells valuable souvenir OF the
last Peary Arctic trip. as published in
the Casco Bay Breeze last season. This
memento Is the signal flag OF the Gree.
ley expedition which was found by
Commander Robert r. Peary when he
discovered the remains of some of the
Inflated members OF the party above
TIE Soth degree, north latitude. He
gave the flag to Col. Campbell as a
token OF friendship and in recognition
OF It's value the latter has taken spec
ial pains To preserve IL from the at
lacks OF curio hunters who visit the
Merriconeag House. who would not
hesitate to demolish IL piece by piece.
II given the opportunity. There is al
so some reference made to- a rare old
Keystone which Is kept under lock and
Key. which. though not as susceptible
to damage as the flag. is precious
enough TO demand careful guarding
lest II should also be demolished by
those who really are actuated by the
best Of intentions only.
President George r. West of the
HGrpsweil Steamboat Company is Hv.
ing On board his steam yacht with his
family this summer and has spent
most OF the time about Casco Bay
through the early part Of the season.

CENTRAL HIGH ANNUAL.

The annual musical entertainment of
the Central high school will be given
at the East High school auditorium
the evening ofssMarch 30. This year a
large chorus Of girls was formed to
supplement the Mandolin club and to
develop the vocal talent among the
young ladies Of the school. Altho they
have been organized but a little. over
six months, they have attained to a
marked degrees Of efficiency. They have
filed two engagements at the Bethany
mission lately and in fact their last
appearance there met with so much
favor. that the officers Of the mission
sent them a most fattering letter of

s. The Boys Glee club has also passed
a successful season both from finan-
cial and musical standpoint. It has
filled engagements for sacred services;
entertainments, lodges, and one conven,
tion, and has made over $50 for en-.
gagements In addition to all the COM
plimentary features connected with the
school. The boys who have charge of
this entertainment have prepared q
most attractive program. Among the
special features will be J. Austin Will
liams, tenor solo; Dell Squyer, mando
lin; Miss Grace Williams, humorous
reading, and Mark Hawkins will fur
nish comical song. The business mer
of the city have been most liberal with
their advertising, and judging by thu
advance sale Of tickets, the hall will b.
taxed to it's utmost when the two gles
clubs appear.

RUDOLPH GAM, PIANIST.

Tho the week will be filed with an
unusual number of good things music
ally, none will arouse keener interest
than the piano recital of Rudolph GAM,
the noted Swiss pianist. Mr.. GAM will
appear in the All-Star course at the
Auditorium, Wednesday evening, March
%, taking the place Of Nine. Fannie
Bloomfield Zeisler, whose illness obliged
her to cancel all her dates earlier in
the season It is not often that under
such circumstances a date can be filed
in So eminently satisfactory manner,
and without. even change in the date
set for the original entertainment. Seats
will be placed on sale tomorrow morn
ing at the Metropolitan Music store.
= Mr.. GAM is still young man, hav-
ing first seen the light Of day in a
Swiss hamlet in 1875. His musical
education was the constant care Of his
mother, who belonged to the celebrated
musical family Of Eschmann, and who
sent him at an early age to her brother,
DR.. Eschmann, at Berlin. Here he was
taken in charge by the best teachers of
Europe and at 20 made his debut with
the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra.
The result more than justified the
pains that had been taken with him.
The lad was filed with poetry. His
temperament was the delight of his
teachers, and at the conclusion Of the
big concerto in which he made his first
appearance he was the recipient of
salvos not only of the critics and the
public but the heartiest congratula-
lions of the director and Of the men
composing the orchestra. This was a

ORATORIO Is PRETENTIOUS.

What is indisputably the most pre-
tentious, from a technical standpoint,
of the many performances given by the
Minneapolis Symphony orchestra and
the Philharmonic club will be "The
Dream Of Gerontius,' which will con-
clude the season for both organizations
at the Auditorium Tuesday night. -.
It represents the most painstaking
and most ambitious endeavor Of the best
musical talent in the city, is filed with
the beauty of poet and composer and is
by far the most difficult oratorio ever
attempted by the Philharmonic club
which has practically had it under re,
hearsal for two years. So serious an
undertaking is the performance Of the
"Dream !" that 1t has been heard but
few times and then only in the
world g greatest music centers. e
"The Dream Of Gerontius' was
given its premier at the Birmingham
England, festival Of 1900. According
+ to the story associated with this first
! production, Sir Edward Elgar, the com
poser, received a copy Of Carolina
Newman rs poem as a wedding present
and for eight years pondered over Il

The committee Of management and
Conductor Emil Oberhoffer were partic=
ularly fortunate in securing the three
soloists who will sing the leading roles.
Mr.. Ellison Van Hoose, the tenor, who
will song the Gerontius role, has
appeared with brilliant success at a
score Of the greatest musical festivals
in the country, sang with Melba IN
opera and concert for four years and
created the role Of "Gerontius' with
the New York Oratorio society in 1908.

Janet Spencer, who sings the role Of
the angel, is soloist Of almost equal
reputation in the concert and oratorio

who sings tie role of the priest, has
often been pronounced Zone Of the best

Mr.. Walker has sung on the same
program with Sembrich, Nordica, Cad

sEvCIK, AT CLOSE RANGE.

William s. McPhail, the talented
young Minneapolis ~violinist, who in
Prague, Bohemia, is now studying the
violin with Sevcik, perhaps the greatest
of all violin teachers, has written a
very interesting letter to a personal
friend here describing the, noted
teacher. Omitting the personalities of
the letter, Mr.. McPhail says: %
emo doubt his greatest work Is his
fmethod,' which consists Of four parts
and embraces all the violin technics
: from the very beginning, right thru to
the most difficult music possible. He
is an incessant worker and devotes him
self almost entirely to his private
pupils now. He still holds his position
as director of the violin department. in
the Bohemian conservatory but only
takes four pupils there.
"He has been decorated for his serv.

one can see many tokens Of apprecia

have been his pupils.

William Barlow Ross is the artist
who has been selected to create the
tenor part in the oratorio "Golgata, -
to be performed for the first time at
the Auditorium, Friday evening, April
8, under the direction Of its composer,
J. Victor Bergquist, Of this city. Mr..
Bergquist early secured the co-opera-
tion Of all the leading Scandinavians
singing clubs, church choirs and col

rangements with " the i Minneapolis
Symphony orchestra. The composer
was resolved from the very start that
Gustav Holmquist, one of the favorite
sons, unsteady, of this community,
should create the bass-barytone part.
To the tenor are entrusted the words
Of Christ, the crucifed. The solos are
reflective in character and, except the
last, very lyric. The last is intensely
