At Bucknell University, this evening, the annual violin recital will be given, and the event is of interest to West Pittston people by reason of tho fact that, the head of the violin department at Bucknell is Miss Charlotte Armstrong, daughter of John R. Armstrong, a venerable resident of Philadelphia avenue, who. in his prime, was a very successful diwetor of music, having had charge for many vears of various church choirs in the Plttstons. Miss Armstrong has devot ed her life to music, and for a number of years has been a member of tho faculty at Bucknell, where she has achieved much success.

The programme witicu she has prepared for this evening's recital comprises the compositions of the great masters Mendelssohn, Dancla. I Borowski, Schuber, Weber, Berlot, Papini, d'Ambrosia, Kreisler and Cherubini. Several of the numbers will be played by the Fnsemble Class, which is compiled entirely of college young men and women.
