EDITED BY JOSEPH M. QCENTIN.
ySATE worshipper, who were so
glad to exalt the lolin'artlstry of
this wonderful French-Belgian,
when he played recently at the Heilig
Theater, that they' accepted without
question the fine violin playing of his
on, Gabriel Tsaye. and they delighted
In speaking of the marked originality
and youth of the younger Ysaye not
ware, perhaps, that Gabriel Tsaye Is
married andthat he is the father of
two children. More than one fair Port
land gir; was much "smitten" with the
good looks of the seemingly youthful
violinist.
Henry I, Bettman. leader of the or
chestra of the Orpheum Theater, Is
willing; to be responsible for the state-,
ment that the younger Ysaye Is a
father. ."How ijo I know?" queried Mr.
Bettman, last night. "When I began as
a violin student witn nis ratner. uaonei
Ysaye was born. I remember the Ysaye
home in Brussels, Belgium, very well.
I was accepted by Eugene Ysaye as his
pupil, along with 13 others and two
incr violin players wno were not oj
far advanced as we were, and were t
known as 'listeners.' We studied at the
Royal Conservatory of Music which
was endowed by the government, and
Eugene Ysaye was at the head of It. I
had three lessons per week from Ysaye.
from 4 to P. M. and the lesions often
were not finished until after 7 P. M.
they were so interesting. Ysaye was
quite 'an enthusiastic maestro, and he
lighted quite a quantity of cigarettes,
of which he took probably two whiffs
from each, laid it aside, lighted an
otherand so on. I remember Mrs.
Ysaye as a wonderfully beautiful wo
man. She was a brunette, and had
money in her own right.
"Eugene Ysaye and his wife have
five., children of their own, and four
grandchildren. In the Conservatory of
Music Ysaye succeeded Hubay. who In
turn, succeeded the great Vieuxterups.
The latter died In Algiers, and when
his body was brought for burial to
Brussels. Tsaye carried the dead man's
violin on a cushion, at the head of the
funeral procession.- Twelve years ago,
Eugene Ysaye ceased to teach the vio
lin, and he now accepts no more pu
pils, except great artists whom he
coaches.
"Brussels Is a wonderfully attractive
city, and both French and Flemish are
spoken. The boulevard D' Ansach Is
the name of the most notable thorough
fareIt Is the Broadway of New York,
and was designed by the great engi
neer D' Anxpach, who walled .over a
double stream of water that had been
more or' less a nuisance. This boule
vard la about two times the width of
our Washington street.
"When he was In the city April 2S.
Ysaye commissioned me to score for him
the second concerto of Vleuxtemps, and
this wil) take up all my spare time for
the next two months. It Is a task
that is trying to the eyesight, and I
would not accept It for any other per
son than Ysaye. whom I esteem very
much not onJy as my teacher but as
my friend. He and I had a delightful
talk about old times In Brussels. He
valsea . roy Landolphl violin, made In
Florence! Italy, in the year 1757, at the
sum of 10.000 francs."
After the Ysaye concert In this city.
Ysaye gave an Informal supper party
at the Multnomah Hotel, and there were
present, -in addition to the, eminent vlo.
lln virtuoso, Gabriel - Ysaye, Camllle
Decruea.- the pianist; R. E. -Johnston,
of New York. Ysaye's manager, and
Mr. Bettman.
The Portland Oratorio Society . will
render Its third concert Tuesday night
at the White Temple. Twelfth and
Taylor streets. Mrs. Elfrleda Heller
Weinstein, dramatic soprano; Richard
Robertson, tenor, and John Claire Mon
telth. baritone, will be the assisting
soloists. The first part of the pro
gramme will consist of secular solos by
all three singers, and choruses, end
ing with a selection from Handel's
"Samson." with solo and obllgato by
Mrs. Weinstein. In the second part,
Mrs. AVelnstein and Mr. Montelth will
sing solos, and three choruses from
oratorios heard In the city this year
will be sung. The three -soloists will
sing the trio part In "The Heavens Are
Telling. Miss Carmel Sullivan, harp
1st. will play an obligato to the Bach-
Gounod "Ave Maria" sung by Mrs.
Weinstein. In the first part, piano ac
companiments will be used in the sec
ular numbers, and In the second part
the pips organ will be used In provid
ing accompaniment for the heavier,
sacred numbers. Mr. Patton, the reg
ular accompanist of the Oratorio So
ciety, will do all the accompanying
work for this concert. J. A. Flnley. the
director, will conduct. Mr. Flnley is
director of music at Centenary Meth
odist Episcopal Church, where he has
led a large chorus choir for the last
two years. Hs Is a trained musician
from Boston and thoroughly compe
tent to handle large choruses. His
choruses sing well, enthusiastically,
confidently and under splendid control.
Ir. Clement B. Shaw, who Is preparing
Handel's "Samson" for early rendition,
with a similar chorus, will, with some
of his best singers, assist In Mr. Fin
ley's chorus. This Is, a young organ
ization formed for the purpose of
establishing a permanent oratorio
singing society. It has begun modestly
and unobtrustlvely, and has performed
two difficult oratorios In acceptable
style.' It Is deserving of recognition.

Invite inspection of their display of Player Pianos
manufactured by the Aeolian Company and known as
Pianola Player Pianos
The Aeolian Company are the originators
tf the Player Piano type of instrument
They are the largest manufacturers
of Player Pianos in the world. The
Pianola Player Piano is justly acknowledged
as the highest attainment in Player instru
mentsthe STANDARD. Pianola Play
er Pianos are wholly different from any
other make. Not only have the Aeolian
Company been originators, but they have
brought the Player Piano to its present per
fection by constant and exclusive improve
ments. To produce a Piano with an interior
player mechanism, that will give enduring
satisfaction is the very foundation of the im
mense Aeolian Company business.
An Important Decision
In years past we have carried several dif
ferent makes of Player Pianos makes in
volving different principles r-makes which,
while meritorious, have never combined in
one instrument the many perfections which
are embodied in Pianola Player Pianos.
Hereafter we shall concentrate our Player
Piano business on this one great line ex
clusively. No Player Piano purchaser can pos
sibly use the care and the critical analysis in
selecting a Player Piano that it has been
within our power to exercise. No purchaser
has as much at stake as we have and
Sherman, Clay & Co. feel that they cannot
afford to carry anything but the best the
STANDARD in its line.
Why Pianola Player Pianos Are the Standard
The famous group of Pianola Player
Pianos are the only instruments legally en
titled to be called Pianola Player Pianos,
for they are the only instruments which con
tain the real "Pianola" action and the fol
lowing patented features: "The Metrostyle."
which gives the exact interpretation of the
great artists ; I he 1 hemodist, which as
sures the proper emphasis of the melody;
"The Automatic Sustaining Pedal," which
produces the touch and tonal effects of a
master pianist, and scores of other features
found in no other instrument, but exclusively
in the Pianola Player Pianos.

In a previous issue in these columns
it was stated that Mrs. Henry W. Met
ser, dramatic soprano of this city, had
sung for a phonograph company In
New York and made Borne cylinder rec
ords of her voice. Mrs. Metier
did not sing for cylinder records,
but for disc, and these records
were made at the laboratory of the Vic
tor Talking Machine Company. So
many demands have been made by
friends and admirers of Mrs. Metzer
to hear these records that she has
consented to place them for demonstra
tion with Sherman. Clay & Co., corner
Sixth and Morrison streets. All music
lovers and friends of this young and
talented artist are invited to visit the
Victor Department of Sherman, Clay
