their tenth wedding anniversary Mon
day evening by entertaining a number
OF friends. Entertainment consisted
OF charades, music and guessing con-
test. Pictures were cut from twenty
eight advertisements and pinned on
the walls and curtains and the guests
were requested to guess what article
they represented. Mrs. Arthur Davis
won the contest by correctly naming
all but one. The average was not
more than half correctly named and
the ladies showed more aptitude than
the men. Many ludicrous mistakes
were made.
An event not on the program was a
mock marriage. The hostess had ask
ed some of the guests for suggestions
about novel features that might be in
troduced, but all were short Of ideas.
Nevertheless they sneaked In some
mosquito bar for yelling. aud during
the evening Mr.. and Mrs. Davis were
called aside and appropriately decor

RECITAL LARGELY ATTENDED.

The increased interest the people of
American Falls are paying to music
and musicians was very noticeable
Tuesday evening by the splendid at
tendance at the song recital given by
Mr.. George Arthur Rogers and Mrs. C..
Willard Spalding at the Auditorium
Mr.. Rogers has tenor voice of rare
quality and remarkable range More
over he sings with superior style, with
most convincing Interpretation and
with faultless intonation, enunciation,
and technic.
The program included a group Of
German songs by Mrs. Spalding, who
possesses a rich contralto voice of
considerable natural charm which has
been given splendid training by some
of the best teachers both in this coun-
try and abroad. OF the group Verbor-
genheit by Wolf, was especially enjoy
ed.
Works both of the old masters and
modern composers were given. Schu-
mann's songs rank among the most
poetical musically perfect harmonious
examples of -portraiture in the
domain of musical lyrics. Schubert's
songs and ballads too, are hardly to
be surpassed for mastery construction
and richness of fancy while they are
full of melodic warmth and simplicity
with exception to Der Erlkonig which
is very difficult, both for a singer and
accompanist This number as sung
by Mr.. Rogers was very much appre-
ciated by the audience.
The number Sampson ct Della" by
Saint Saens, is very popular with ar
lists and this was sung especially we'll
by Mrs. Spalding.
or the modern composers, the Eng
lish song, Come Home My Thoughts
From the Hills" was the real hit of
the evening. During the singing of
this number the audience seemed spell
bound by its great beauty and Mr.
Rogers splendid redition. "a Spirit
Flower" by Campbell Upton, is very
artistic
The duet, Calm AS The Night" by
Goetze, was sung in perfect unison by
Mrs. Spalding and Mr. Rogers and was
followed by an enchore Of the duet,
familiar to all of us Sweet Genevieve''
The success of concert depends in
great degree on the accompanist
Mrs. Schmidt's playing was faultless
and at all times was in perfect sym
pathy with the singers.

ADVENTURES OF A BOY SCOUT.
World Film Corporation Presents q

will please every mothers son on the
globe. We compute that there are
zoe. 900, 900 mothers sons on the globe,
the other 9OO,000,O00 are mothers IS
daughters. It's a boys picture; it's a
mans picture; it's clean, manly pre-
sentation; 1t should be shown, wholly
or in part, In every school and college;
it's school book in the best sense OF
the term.
The World Film Corporation pre-
sents the picture Tuesday night, April
18th at the Irene Theatre. It's in five
parts and there isn't foot of 1t which
isn't stimulating, instructfng and edu-
cational in the virile sense. Its all
about the boy scouts, what they do
how and why. Boy Scouts all over
the world will be interested in the pic
ture. 1t Shows them up" well and
