PLAYING OF MAUD
POWELL APPEALING

One does not have to be we'll trained
in the technique of music 10 enjoy the
violin concerts of Maud Powell. She is
able to draw more than mere notes and
formal tones from her beloved instru-
ment. When Maud Powell plays her
listeners are touched by real music.
AS she proceeds from the first number
other concert to the last. her hearers
have become more and more in sympa-
thy and understanding with her, and
when the last encore has been sounded,
the audience seems loath to depart.
Maud Powell is a master workman; she
fiddles because she enjoys it. One can
see that at a glance. If he we're blind
this knowledge would be impaired TO
him when she began drawing her bow
across the strings.
A large audience of music lovers
were present at the Riverside Congre-
gational church last Friday evening to
greet the renowned virtuoso, who was
presented here by the heilig theatre, OF
Portland. Fred Bailey, of the theatre
company, was here to give the concert
his personal management. The concert
was heartily appreciated. No number
was better than the last, "The Barca-
rolle," from Offenbach's Tales of
Hoffman. One was made to think as
Maud Powell played. that they may
have such muisc in Heaven. that the
angels may fly by it.
But in Twilight" Massenet- Powell,
Madame Powell seemed to draw pic
lures of that time of the day, when
stars are beginning to twinkle; when
the wings of night birds are beginning
to softly fan the air in its changing
light. In this selection she seemed to
make herself more deeply felt than in
any other number. If one were coun-
try-reared he heard the soft lowing of
cows at pasture bars, the first call of
whip poor will and the mutterings of
little birds as they sought refuge under
protecting cave. 1t was low, scarce
above a whisper, but the tones of
Twilight" stole right into you and
you forgot even that you were listening
to Maud Powell
| Arthur Loesser was Madame powell's
accompanist. The perfection of his
work, his ability to blend in with the
playing of the virtuoso and yet keep in
the background adds to the finish of
| Powell concert. MIR. Leosser also dis
played his powers of charm as a piano
soloist. In fact that talented young
man is really worth more than para
graph.
Madame Powell was presented by
Mrs. Kay W. Sinclair, on behalf of the
Musical Department of the Woman's
club, with handsome basket of Hood
River apples. "In appreciation of them
can better express myelf in music
than in words, she said, playing for
the audience Souvenir. When she
ana MIR. Loesser left the stage after
the rendition of Souvenir, n. God
frey Turner, Madame Powell's husband
and manager, came in to arrange the
piano for Mr.. Loesser's solos. One of
the big red apples was left on the
piano. Mr.. Turner could not get his
teeth, it seemed. into that luscious
sphere quick enough. His big juicy
bite. as he hurried back to the dressing
room brought round of laughter.

TRIBUTE PAID TO
FREDERIC H. BALCH
(From The Oregonian)


Just now, when there is wide interest
in the beauties of the Columbia river,
through construction of the Columbia
River Highway, an anonymous writer
has contributed to the Hood River Gla-
cier an interesting article on Frederic
Homer Balch. author of the classic,
"Ihe Bridge of the Gods" 1t Is real
romance an Oregon romance-which
deals in Indian legendary and the sacri-
fees of heroic young preacher. and
has for it's background the noble river
of the Columbia gorge.
1t may or may not be we'll known that
Cecil Gray. hero of the story, who sacri-
feed his life to teach the Indians the
religion of Christ, typiies Frederic
Homer Balch. He was minister Of
the gospel, of reverent mind and deep
conviction so deep and sincere that
when he decided to enter the ministry
he suppressed, or thought he did, the
stirring and surging thoughts Of the ro-
mancist, and actually consigned to the
flames a novel of pioneer history.
"Wallulab," which he had written.
Balch was born at Lebanon December
IA, 1861, and is buried at Lyle, Wash.
He died at the early age of 30. He
had reconciled, during his service as
preacher, his conflicting ideas of duty ;
or rather, he had become convinced
that the role of writer of tales was not
incompatible with his chosen occupa-
ton. Thus "The Bridge of the God"
was born.
1t is idle to guess what Frederic
Balch might have done if his life had
been spared. What he did was fine
and worthy monument of his real gen.
ius. To quote from poem by I. r.
Coon:
Lift up mine eyes unto the hills. -
From all below and find rest awhile;
Be free. my soul, from all thine ills.
Look up and live. for God SO wills.
And these are his brown hills of Lyle.

and buy and consume half pound of
