LADIES CONCERT
HUGE SUCCESS
RECITAL GIVEN LAST NIGHT FOR
VISITING U. c. It's AT STONES
HALL PROVED DECIDED sue.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES LAST APP.
PEARANcE HERE.

The concert rendered the visitors at
tending the United Commercial Ira
velers' convention at Stones auditor
ium last night proved huge success.
The hall was handsomely decorated
with cut flowers and ferns. and the
| chandeliers and other hangings were
festooned with asparagus vines.
The evening marked the farewell
appearance of Sam Henderson, who
soon departs for Spokane, much to the
regret of Fargo friends and music low
ers. Mr.. Lamberson gave two num-
bers during the evening which fully
exhibited his remarkable ability and
technique, and his audience showed
its appreciation by the thunderous
storm of applause that broke at the
conclusion Of his selections.
Professor Lamberson's Concert
study, was followed by a left
hand arrangement of the Sextette from
Lucia, which was exceptionally fine.
The performer was showered with
congratulations from his friends and
was the recipient of numerous favors
at his exit from the stage. This closes
his second year here and 1t was with
considerable regret that his many To-
cal friends saw him make his final
bow last night for they realized that it
was the last opportunity the Fargo
public will have to hear him in concert.
| Mrs. E. r. Wright rendered Leh-
| mann's Bird Song in her individual
style which has won the admiration
of Fargo music lovers. Her singing
always delights but last night the ap-
probation shown her by her audience
was exceptional Professor Boehmer
was her accompanist.
Mrs. A. j. Stevens sang two charm
ing ballads, Will-o'- theWisp, by
Spross and The Little Winding Road,
by Ronald, which were two numbers
that were delightful. The two selec-
tions were loudly applauded and the
singer was compelled to return several
times and bow her acknowledgment
of the appreciation of her audience.
Prof. Bertram Allan Orr delighted
the audience with an old Scotch ball
lad, Turn Ye to Me. He was obliged
to respond to an encore and gave
Wilson's, Wasting in Despair and The
Broken Brook, by Taylor. Mr.. Orr
always is pleasing and has delighted
Fargo musical audiences ever since
i
| E. r. Wright was heard in a cornet
solo, rendering, Trumpeter of SAX
kinger, by Nessler, which was one of
bers of the evening.
Dudley Bucks melody, In Absence
was rendered most delightfully."- by the
/ quartette consisting of Paul Bunce,
H. Haugen, H. Moody and T. 1. Lewis.
4
number was heartily applauded.
Miss Evelyn Lysle, the only reader
on the programme, gave as her first
number, little playlette, The
Proposal, and so clever was her
portrayal that she was forced
to respond with an encore and
gave a very artistic fan drill with
musical accompaniment, Miss Mae Ell
lott presiding at the piano. The au-
dience were not satisfied with two
numbers and Miss Lysle was obliged
! to appear a third time, when she gave
an original selection written especially
for the u. c. It's. The poem is pub
| lished in English, but Miss Lysle took
the house by storm with her interpre-
tation Of it in the Swedish dialect. The
poem follows:
My husband was a salesman,
And good one, too, by geei
Until he joined that bunch of guys,
They call the U. G. T.
AT night he used to stay at home,
But think he's tired of me
For now on Saturday he'll roam
Down to the U. c. T.
He comes home in the morning
AS jolly as can be
Laughing and telling ME
About the funny U. c. T.
He tells me it's secret
When / ask him to tell me
What on earth there is so funny
About the U. c. T.
On Sunday he is gone all day,
He's chairman, now he tells me
OF some darn fool committee
OF the U. G. T.
He's not been home day for months
He's working now he tells me
Not for the house that pays him.
But for the u. C. T.
He wears a yellow tie today
He's the guy. he tells me
| Who brot to Fargo the Council Grand
OF the u. G. T.
He's game / will admit
But 1t really seems to me
The whole dam bunch are crazy
About that U. G. T.
The ladies who took part in the pro-
| gramme were presented with American
beauty roses as they left the platform
and the gentlemen with a buttonhole
bouquet of white roses. Two little
| girls. Catherine Hunt and Doris Lowell.
/ daintily dressed in white presented the
tokens
Frappe was served during the recep-
tion from huge punch bowls placed at
either end Of the hall and draped in
u. G. T. colors.
