Noteci Belgian
Guest of Club
at Luncheon
By J. !. CTallin
GUEST of Honor at tha luncheon of
ths Musicians' club Friday, Eugene
Ysaye. tho noted Belgian -violinist, re
vealed that he la not only a genius to
drawing the bow lut also, a giant in
oratory when he once lets loose. .And
this he did Friday. -
' Not on close Intimacy wlth.the Ameri
i can language, he chose French and 'so
. convincingly did he deliver his . words
and gestures that even strangers ; to
4 this; tongue ;uite readily caught the
' drift jut&j the meaning and - applauded
as., the speaker laid special, emphasis
upon a word; or a phrase. But many
"gorsJT of,lt.'. i The study of languages
Is closely , related to that of music and
the musician is a studious person whose
. fietd is the world. ' ' , - -
Tsars atpofcs of world music ' and bi-
cidentally of the world war. In his ad
. dress of welcome. Judge Guy CL 'H. Cor
liss , suggested that the Portland sym-
phony orchestra repeat one great work
at every successive concert for S whole
season, until everyone who Jieard it knew
It and every" part of it - by heart and as
desirable work he pointed .to Beetho
ven's 'ninth symphony -
Referring to this, . Tsaye, true". Belgian
and loyal that be Is, explained Jt as his
view that Beethoven, though a German,
belongs to the world ;. was man of the
earth- and of heaven, and : that his
work : would live for 'aver . for tho en
: llghtenmeaf and ; uplift of all peoples.
In closing, he proposed a toast to the
, government at "Washington, , which had
announced.: that ft was not, in this war
-for gain" of . wealth or power, but In the
nauss of humanity and liberty.
Welcoming the guest In behalf of the
club Judge Corliss; said that the process
of solvation of a nation is through Its
, muslo and he believed music the great
factor that made people willing to serve
their country even to death. The eplo
symphony of tears -and blood of Bel
: glum, v be said, will go - into history as
the greatest of all,
Ths love of- beauty is a God-given
. Heritage, he saw, but Uke all things di
. vine, it can.be lost and so It Is that
these tragedies of lire come through
, loss of the capacity to appreciate the
. beautiful. He cautioned parents to. see
. tot that their children do not lose this
- Inherent sense of. the- beautiful before
other worldly counter attractions of con
- trastlng influence kill the spark.
. "You. must start the child, early, and
start It right." he admonished. ' He
-. would have more symphony concerts
and' a more general , use of the folk
songs.
Frederick W. Goodrich, president of
" the club, presided, and a splendid must
cal program was given by the Orpheura
. orchestra, George E Jeffry, conductor ;
, Miss Winnlfred. Forbes, violinist ; F. V.
, Badolletts, flutist t Arthur Faave-Cote.

;. cipal decoration. - ? - - rv-,.
Mr." Ysayf was the guest of Mr. and
" Mrs. Henry I Bettnuui Thursday, for
Thanksgiving dinner; t at. the - Irving
apartments. For. several years Mr. Bett
man was one of. Tsaye's. private pupils
at Brussels and it waafor"thls reason
that Mr. Tsaye honored his former pu
pil to turn the music for him at the con
cert at the Hellig Wednesday night
Thursday afternoon Mr. Ysaye heard
Barbara Lull, the 12-year-old violin stu
dent play the Viotti and T3erios con
- certos and after she had finished, the
enthusiastic Belgian exclaimed "bravo."
