Bruno Esbjorn in
Recital Program
at College Chapel

The third artists concert at Au-
gustana college this evening prom
ises much OF interest, this being
the first concert OF Bruno Esbjo-n
in this part of the country. Augl3-
tana observatory of music and the
Swedish Society of Bellies Lettr IS
are cooperating in bringing the
violinist to the city.
Mr.. Esbjorn was born in Berlin,
Germany, March Is, 1884, OF Swe-
dish parentage. Thus, though born
on German soil, he remains truly
Swedish-even skaning - for mis-
real home is found in Kopinge,
Sweden.
His musical training is, howeva !,
a product OF Germany There he
studied under such master teachers
as Hess and Wittenberg, the latter
a pupil of the great Joachim.
His talents were early appreciat-
ed. Especially was this the case
in Germany, where he was at once
hailed as a probable Paganini, or
an Ollie Bull. Later on he went on
a tour through Sweden, adding
more honor to the laurels already

the war the confusion of musical
Berlin. That ended the promising
career of the young artist, as far
as Germany was concerned, and as
SO many others of his class, he
soon departed for America, the
promised land of future art.
The program to be given here is
selected especially for the occasion
fro mthe very best of musical art:

"Father Is Mr.. Corvet's closest friend,

explained.
He thought she was going to tell
him something more about them; but
she seemed to decide to leave that for
her father to do. She crossed to the
big chair beside the crate and seated

the station, pricked In Alan's veins.
and hastily he dropped the window to
his right and gazed out. The lake,
az he had known since his geography
days, lay to the east Of Chicago !:
therefore that void out there beyond
the park was the lake or. at least. the
harbor. A different air seemed to
come from 1t; sounds -. Suddenly
1t all was shut of; the taxicab.
swerving little, was dashing between
business blocks; row Of buildings
had risen again upon the right: they
broke abruptly to show him wooden
walled chasm In which flowed the
river full of ice with tug dropping
Its smokestack as 1t cut below the
bridge which the cab crossed; build
tngs on both sides again; then, to the
right. roaring. heaving crashing ex-
panse.
The sound, Alan knew, had been
coming to him as an undertone for
many minutes; now 1t overwhelmed,
swallowed all other sound. 1t was
great, not loud all sound which Alan
had heard before, except the soughing
of the wind over his prairies, came
from one point; even the monstrous
city murmur was centered In cOmpari-
son with this. Over the lake, as over
the land, the soft snowfakes lazily
floated down, scarcely stirred by the
slightest breeze; that roar was the
voice Of the water, that awful power
It's own.
Alan choked and gasped for breath;
his pulses pounding In his throat; he
had snatched off his hat and, leaning
out Of the window sucked the lake air
in his lungs. There had been nothing
crush Of feeling. The lake-he had
thought of 1t. of course, as great
body Of water, an interesting sight
for a prairie boy to see; that was all.
No physical experience in all his
memory had affected him like this !;
and 1t was without warning; the
strange thing that had stirred within
him as the car brought him to the
Drive downtown was strengthened
now thousand-fold; 1t amazed, half
frightened, half dizzied him. Now, as
the motor suddenly swung around a
corner and shut the sight of the lake
from him, Alan sat back breathless.
The car swerved to the east curb
about the middle Of the block and
came to stop. The house before
which 1t had halted was a large stone
house Of quiet, good design; 1t was
some generation older, apparently,
than the houses on each side of 1t,
which we're brick and terra Gotta Of
recent fashionable architecture; Alan
only glanced at them long enough to
get that impression before he opened
the cab door and got out; but as the
cab drove away, he stood beside his
suitcase looking up at the old house
which bore the number given in Ben
jamin Corvet's letter, then around at
the other houses and back to that
again.
The neighborhood obviously pre-
cluded the probability Of Corvet's be-
ing merely a lawyer-a go-between.
He must be some relative; the ques-
tion ever present in Alan's thought
since the receipt of the letter, but held
In allegiance, as to the possibility and
nearness of Corvet's relation to. him,

now than he had dared to let 1t take
before. Was his relationship to
