RECITAL DELIGHTS CHURCH HENCE Mrs. William fglehcart and M. ,J. Brines AY in More Favors. An uvenlng of delight and of puro enjoyment en-joyment was that provided for tho largo audience which tilled the First Congregational Congrega-tional church last night to hoar the dramatic dra-matic and musical recital given by Mrs. William Igleheart and M. .1. Brines. From tho 11 rut number on the programme to the last, the whole gave evidence of (he most nrtlstlo arrangement and the most careful care-ful selection, and not till each and every one who took pari in tho closing number had. been called back a second time did tho audience move from Its seats, so rapt were tli auditors with tho beauty and sweetnoBS of the closing number, "llobert of Sicily." given, as It was, with the accompaniment of piano, organ and Incidental vocal numbers. The chief Interest contercd, however, In tho rendition of "Tho Piper," the new play which all who went longed to hear. And In Its rendition, although much was ollminalod, thoy wore 'not disappointed. Tho ram beauty of the play, the exquisite sweotness of liio thought underlying the whole were given In full, oven in tho shortened version of necessity presented In such a programme. Of all the Ideals of childhood presented In song or story, this play presents perhaps the most vitally touching theme, and with It all the setting set-ting and tho action are so fitted to the beauty of the thought that the wholo is a dfllght to the listener. Mr. Urlncs's first number was an exquisite ex-quisite song cycle by Ronald. "Summer-time," "Summer-time," and each one of the several songs In It was, It seemed, more beautiful than the preceding one.

Mrs. Igleheart was heard In a group of short poems thrco of thorn the ravorlte dnrkev poems and one given by recfuesl, "What My Lover Said." Miss Loroen Lenry proved herself .as always, the thoroughly satisfactory and satisfying accompanist, showing especially line adaptability In the last number with her splendidly Interpretative accompaniment accompani-ment of the reading. In the Inst number Tracy Cannon added to the organ accompaniment, preceding tho reading of tho poem with a magnificent magnifi-cent selection which shaded down to the glorin, the theme of tho poem. "He Hath Put Down tho Mighty from Their Seats."
