Two Famous
Violinists to
Appear Here
THE appearance of two such notable
artists as Kugene Ysaye and Mlscha
Kim an. who will give one recital In Port
land at the Helllg theatre, direction
Steer f Coman. June 2, la a great mu
sical event In any city.
" Of their concert in Minneapolis on
April 1 the Minneapolis Journal of April
8 ay: .
"The joint recital of Ysaye and Elman
took place last night at the auditorium
-and proved one of the most remarkable
and memorable event of Its kind in the
musical history of the Northwest. Last
night their efforta were crowned with in
spiring success, for they were recalled
six or seven times after each number
and with the, greatest enthusiasm after
the Bach- concerto in D minor.
One does not know what most to ad
mire, the spirit that brought two violin
king together or the supreme artistry
With which they performed. Eugene
Ysaye kmg has been recognized as an
interpreter of music without a peer. The
highest exponent of the Belgian school
of violin art, his training, experience
and accomplishments have made him
universal. He played last night with
an Imperturable perfection of tone pro
duction and an authority of reading that
In every instance laid down the law with
out ever bringing home T its austerity.
Some conniseurs claim that it i chiefly
the priceless old viollntstic that makes
.the musio of the masters, but Ysaye
proved that the perfection of bowing Is
fundamentally responsible for excellence
of results. In steadiness,' power and
" beauty of ton he yet. holds his own even
wiu the original proaucer or me lamous
Elman tone. And- there was no visible
effort of any kind."
Helen M. Caples, presented' by Miss
Abby .Whiteside In piano recital Thurs
day night, in the Multnomah hotel ball
room; proved herself a remarkably tal
ented student who works Industriously
with a definite- aim. She is just out of
high school but plays works, of magni
tude with technique equal to that of the
big artists that come widely heralded
from afar. .The principal number of the
program was Greig's concerto in A flat
minor, with Miss Whiteside "playing ,the
orchestral part on a second piano. Other
composers , represented were Bach,
Chopin,. Scrlablne, Aubert, Dohnany and
Rameau. The audience was large and
-enthusiastic.

This is an unusual opportunity for advanced musicians, as Pro

majestic forte to a delicate pianissimo, the tone never departs

First Concert
THE final meeting of the MacDowell
club was held Tuesday afternoon at
the Hotel Multnomah. The - ball room
was filled to capacity with an enthusias
tic audience, whicfr pronounced the pro
pram one of the biggest successes of the
club season. The reorganized : chorus
made its " first , appearance under W. H.
toyer's direction, and made a distinct
place for itself among Portland's musi
cal assets. "The 30 voices sang as one,
responding to Mr. Beyer's every thought,
!n fine shading tonal quality and artistic
Interpretation. . The exquisite beauty of
the Victor Harris arrangement of the
Strauss "Serenade" brought an ovation
for singers and director, and the number
was repeated. The beautiful quality of
the contralto section was well shown in
'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. The Saint
Saens'-"Night," one of the biggest num
bers on the program, was sung with the
subdued calm of the "Marvel of the
LN'lght,' and showed, perhaps more than
work of the chorus. Mrs. R. M. Lans
worth, the charming doloratura soprano.
-sang the incidental solo with flute obi
ltgato, played by Robert E. Millard. Mrs.
Lansworth - also contributed two solo
numbers, which gave ' much pleasure.
She added an encore. The climax of the
afternoon, came in "The Miracle, of St.
Raymond," in which 11 members of the
Apollo - club assisted. Kurt Shindler
has taken an old -Catalonian folk song
"and transformed It into a most dramatic-
recital of the legend, making very
realistic the excitement of the people
over the miracle. of St. Raymond ap
proaching across the water, his cloak
forming Uhe vessel, and when the bells
of -the cathedral ring out In praise the
Climax -la thrilling. This was magnifi
cently' sung.. Mr. Beyer's" skill and
artistry as a director are well known;
but another leaf has been added to his
laurel wreath. He is to be consratu
lated. Much praise should be given May
Van Dyke Hardwick for her delightful
accompaniments. She showed herself
In- perfect sympathy and accord with
both music and singers. After the 'pro
gram a business meeting, was held, at
which annual reports were heard and
officers elected., The new officers are:
Mrs. Warren E. Thomas, president ; Mrs.
B letcher Xiinn, vice president ; Mrs. Lor

Dent Mowrey's piano programs are al
ways unusual, and one of the interest
ing numbers which he will play at his
recital Tuesday evening, June 1, In the
ballroom of the hotel Multnomah, is a
sonata of Dl&belll, which he has re
cently revised. This work, which is full
of exquisite melody, has been laid aside,
because in the original its thin accom
paniment does : not satisfy the demahds
for modern harmony. ..
Mr. Mowrey has enriched it using
modern harmonies thus making of this
almost forgotten - work a beautiful con
cert number , which meets the present
day demands for both modern harmony
and melody. -. He has accomplished the
Bame with three charming old folk
dances of Beethoven. Both of these com
positions are included in the . program
which Mr. Mowrey will present at bis
forthcoming recital.
This recital, formerly announced for
May 31, has been changed to Tuesday
evening June 1 and will be Mr. Mow

When Buying a Piano
Good Quality Is
Real Economy
: Most people buy a Piano
start out to buy where they can "do the best" (as
they .think), not where they can "get the best" (as
they should).'. The attribute "best" to many usually
; means the lowest price. Now pianos, like everything?
else in the world, are priced according ta their
intrinsic worth. They cannot be made to sell (and
endure) at the prices which some unscrupulous
dealers offer them. The "cheap prices" are for
"cheap pianos" beware Jf them, because the instru
ments soon give out, sound tinny, become unplay
able? and you have to buy another new Piano.
- j . i
Why not buy a good piano in the first 'place?
It will be real economy to consider quality as well a
pricc. A good dealer carries several grades of Pianot
when, measured by price. You may not be! able to
affoifd the most expensive, but you will bej able to
buy according to your purse the buying ) will be
-madje easy by convenient term payments and what
you buy will have Quality-7-will give service will
cause you no regrets. . !
