A Day With The Pasquier Family
Music lovers have a great treat
in store for them in the forthcom
ing Music Trails concert, Monday,
Nov. 14, which features the 14
year old violinist, Regis Pasquier.
The ability of this boy, and the
program he will present, cannot be
conveyed in better words than that
of Jane Livingston, the former
Mrs. Shapiro, who with her former
husband, now deceased, began the
Alaska Music Trails series. She de
scribes a day with this famous
musical family at their summer
home at Fontainebleau, near Paris
France. Her interesting descrip
tion of the family and the serving
of a typically French lunch will
have to be left out for lack of
space, but her concluding recital
of the program he will play here,
and his playing, we give in her
own vivid, descriptive phraseology:
Regis Pasquier
By Jane Livingston
Coffee was served in the music
room while we discussed Regis’
program for Alaska:—the heaven
ly Mozart G major to begin the
program; and Regis’ own favorite,
■the Bach Chaconne unaccompaini
ed; then the romantic Chausson
Poeme. These are the three major
works of the violin repertoire—
fully mature programming, I noted
to myself. And from his Phris de
but program with orchestra, Regis
wanted to play the two most bril
liant works in French violin litera
ture:—the ever popular Rondo
Capriccioso of Saint-Saens, and
the virtuoso Tzigane of Ravel.
“Bravo!” I said, “A sensational
program for any one, but terrific
for a 14-year-old! Regis wanted to
play for us and went upstairs to
warm up his instrument. The older
boys were excused and fled back
to the television, Patrick disappear
ed in the garden with a playmate.
And then Regis played for us
.I am quite sure that I can
not convey in words the thrilling
experience it is to hear this
phenomenal talent. He virtually
■tossed off the fiendishly difficult,
electrifying fireworks of the Ravel
Tzigane, with impeccable skill. He
seemed to be the very spirit of
Mozart incarnate in the sublime
slow movement of the G major
Sonata. We were rooted to the
chair, spellbound, during his play
ing of the great, glorious, profound
Chaconne for violin unaccompani
ed. And both my husband and I
were so deepy touched by the
iChausson Poeme that we wept,—
and embraced Regis at the end,
too moved to even speak. For here
was genius; in this handsome, shy,
sensitive youngster there is genius
in full flower, complete and whole.
It is genius in musical understand

ing and perception, in style, in
technique. The presence of genius
is spine-tingling, for it is rare, and
it is precious. Small wonder that
the professors of the Conserva
toire de Paris have said there is
nothing more they can teach him!

The one ’61 car
built to back up a long-term warranty
Ford led the way with the one car beautifully
built to take care of itself . . . and you
On September 29, Ford Dealers set an industry trenl—were
first to extend their 1961 car warranty from the conven
tional 4,OCX! miles or 3 months to 12,000 miles or one full
year, whichever comes first.
Why? Because Ford built the one car to support such
confidence. Ford for 1961 is the one car beautifully built to
take care of itself!
The '61 Ford was designed and built to the more exacting
standards necessary to offer an extended warranty. Ask t*
see this warranty at your dealer's.
It is significant that Ford has so many take-care-of-itself
features not found in other cars, regardless of price. These
new Ford features are a triumph of exhaustive research,
fine engineering, and quality construction that give yoa
the most reliable Ford ever built. Drive a ‘61 Ford soon.
HERE’S HOW THE ’61 FORD TAKES CARE OF ITSELF
Lubricates itself—You’ll normally
go 30,000 miles between chassis
lubrications. Then a quick, inexpen
sive Ford Dealer lube job (which
costs about $4.00*) will get you set
for another 30,000 miles.
Cleans its own oil—You’ll go 4,000
miles between oil changes with Ford’s
Full-Flow oil filter.
Adjusts its own brakes—New Truck
Size brakes adjust themselves auto
matically for the life of the lining.
Guards its own muffler—Ford
mufflers are double-wrapped and
aluminized—normally will last three
times as long as ordinary mufflers.
Protects its own body—All vital
underbody parts are specially proc
essed to resist rust and corrosion,
even to galvanizing the body panels
beneath the doors.
Takes care ol its own finish—New
Diamond Lustre Finish never needs
wax.
