Carrie Jacobs=Bond Recital

The large audience which gathered
at the Congregational church last
Thursday evening was admirably
entertained by the original song
and poem recital by Mrs. Carrie
Jacobs-Bond.
1t is not often that there comes an
opportunity to hear an artist of the
ability and fame of Carrie Jacobs
Bond. and her program was truly a
great and enjoyable treat. Her
Little Stories in Verse;" with their
quaint philosophy and exquisite
blending of pathos and humor,
were given with expressive elo-
quence and were most enthusiastic
cally received by her hearers. Most
of those present were familiar with
some of Mrs. Bonds songs, but her
own Interpretation of them made
their excellence all the more appre-
cable. Few readings have ever
held the attention and sympathy of
a River Falls audience as did her
series of stories including AN I've
Got Home" That Smith Boy and
His Mother" my Old Mans Art
Gallery" my Old Mans Heaven,
and THE Path O. Life" 1t is to be
regretted that arrangements had
not been made for presenting re-
quests for songs and stories not on
the printed program, as is usually
done at Mrs. Bonds recitals.
The Christian Endeavor Society
of the Congregational church is to
be thanked for procuring for the
people of River Falls such delight
full entertainment.
