Cec1e Chaninade, True Parlslenne and Popular
Composer, to Make American Tour
Bv Walter Anthony

A FEATURE of this years musical
season in America will be the un-
~ usually large number of women
artists who will appear in. con-
cert Heading the list, in point or
novelty, at least, will be Cecile Cham
made. whose salon compositions are the
delight of the dilettante and the staple
of the seminary. 1t is probable that
no composers work is more popular
throughout America than is Cham
inade's. She is a sort of a diety with
the girls and her compositions are no
table for their polish and workman
ship if not for their depth.
She has refused many times to un-
dertake an American tour. but has
finally consented, and the forthcoming
season will see her in America. and.
perhaps, on this coast; though this lat
ter event is not a certainty
Cecfle Chaminade, as her music in
dicates, is born PaFisienne. GODDARD,
whose elegance of style is found in her
music, was one of her tutors She also
studied with lie Couppey and Sayart-
She was prodigy and wrote music
when she was years old and appeared
in concert when she was 16. Although
musical compositions. having written a
symphony, several orchestral suites aud
all opera, it is as a salon composer
that she eXcels. As a pianist she IS
declared delightful, and her playing is
said to have the witchery and piquant
charm which are found in her piano
compositions.
Tina Lerner is another pianist whose
advent on the American concert stage
is awaited with interest. She is a
Russian and graduate of the Moscow
conservatoire. She later studied with
Leopold Godowsky. 1t will be her first
appearance in America when, next No
vember, she will appear as soloist at the
recitals of the Pittsburg symphony or
chestra.
Germaine Schnitzer, Adela Verne,
Fannie Bloomfield ZeisIer, Myrtle Elvyn,
Emma Showers and other feminine
players will compete for the American
musical dollar.
Maud Powell will be another feminine
occupant of the American concert plat
form and May Nuke, who last win
ter created a furore in the east, ac-
cording to reports. by her cello play
ing, will remain under Miss PowelPs
protecting wing: Johanna Gadski. Mar

knows; Katherine Goodson, pianist;

The question that has always puz-
zled the students OF the history Of
the northwest is why Lord Aberdeen,
after instructing the Britich minister
that England would insist upon the
Columbia river as the boundary,
finally admitted the contention of the
Americans that the forty ninth par
allel was the proper liae. There
have been many answers to this
question, but none satisfactory to
the historians. The HUDSON BAY
company. then a political power, was
fighting to retain Its posts on the Co
lumbia and Willamette rivers, and
urged the British government not to
give up a foot of land.
The Aberdeen treaty gave up all
the country south of the forty ninth
parallel with the exception of thu
southern portion of Vancouver Is
land, where a certain company had
an important post and large landed
interests.
