MUSICAL NOTES

rumor has gone abroad that Tetrazzini
will not sing in Portland when the
Chicago Grand Opera company appears
next week.
For the purpose of verifying or re-
futing the announcement, Miss Min.
netta Magers telephoned Thursday to
Lois Steers and received the infOrma.
ton that Tetrazzini would sing as ad
vertised. Miss Steers was at loss to
understand how such report could
have been circulated.
An audience numbering between six
ty and seventy guests greeted Miss
Kathryn Chrysler of Portland last
Wednesday afternoon when she gave a
comprehensive talk on the operas Of
"Lucia Di Lammermoor and "Tales
or Hoffman," illustrated with grafO.
nola records.
For those who had never heard the
operas, and for those who will attend
grand opera in Portland next week, the
afternoon 8 entertainment was instruc-
tive and preparatory, Miss Chrysler
presented six records of "Lucia di
LammermOor" "Silence Der All, /"
Tetrazinni; "Borne on Signing
Breeze" Nelson. Constantine; "Sex-
tette;" "Mad Scene" Tetrazzini;

Tales of Hoffman: Barcarolle, Belle
lMunt, Farrar.Scotti; )" DapertuttO Air, "
Dufranne.
In proof of the announcement that
Mary Garden has developed, splendid
, voice in addition to her wonderful act
h ing, Miss Chrysler gave several grafa-
nola records of that renowned artist g
5 work. The result of study for the past
two or three years was very evident in
the strong clear notes, sweet, limpid
7 and flexible, truly beautiful voice.
Her songs were: Glove Is a Virtue
Rare,'' from "Thias," and "Since
l. That Fair Day." from "Louise"
