MUSICAL NOTES

The magic name of Carrie Jacobs
Bond drew from Salem last evening,
an assemblage of music loving and
society people which filled Grand OPP
era house to its capacity and the eX-
ouisite interpretations Of readings and
songs thrilled the hearts of the great
audience. Mrs Bond has never been
guilty of anything inartistic and 1t
needed no elaborate setting to enhance
her loveliness in the beautiful Pa
risian evening gown Of rose charmeuse
with over dress of handsome lace in
dull gray tone.
She is of extremely charming per-
sonalty, as sweet and unaffected in
private life as she is tender and SYM
pathetic when presenting her songs
and stories. Mrs. Bond is the only
woman in the world who weaves into
music the exquisite poems which she
composes, and interprets with charac-
teristic beauty and simplicity Not for
a moment does she forget the listeners
before her, and although she accom-
panies herself with piano, the mystery
of It is, her eyes never wander to the
keys, but constantly talk to the audi
ence. Although not an actress, as that
person Is generally understood, sht
sways her audience with an enduring
magnetism so vivid and so deep thai
one forgets for the time ones sur
roundings.
When Carrie Jacobs-Bond sings, tht
thought of method never occurs to he
listeners, they are only impressed
with the fact that she is giving to thu
audience a sweet secret Of her lifei
story. But 1t is when this tende
voice sings a sob that tone pictures o
"1ife" present themselves in the lis
tener's mind.
Throughout all the varying mood
called for on the program, Mrs. Bon
never for moment was wearisomt
neither did she fail to interest her au
dience. Far from it. She was ac
corded rapturous applause, but wa
, unable to respond owing to fatigu
following an illness. Those who wer
, privileged to listen to her program
will remember with pleasure the ten
derness Of 1t all.
