The Bond, Recital.
Much is being heard and read re-
garding Carrie Jacobs Bond and her
remarkable gifts, also her rare pow
ers of Interpretation as musician.
Her recent recitals at the cities have
brought her especially before the music
lovers of this section, and now the
pleasurable fact is definitely stated
that Mrs. Bond will be in Mankato
on Tuesday evening, Nov. 0.
Mrs. Bonds talents are so many
and varied, and her life work so full
of interest that it would be difficult
to speak of any one phase as more
wonderful than another, for she is an
exceptionally endowed woman as a
composer and Interpreter. Among Mrs.
Bonds most characteristic songs are
"a Perfect Day." "Just a Wearyin',"
Gust Lonesome" "a Hundred Years
from Now" and Sunset" which was
written for Margaret Anglin's perform
ance of "'The Great Divide" can I've
Got Home" the last one Mrs. Bond
accompanies on the piano with "Home,
Sweet Home" besides many others
which have been spoken of as SER
monettes, so philosophical and poetic
ALLY musical are they.
