Article about the reconstruction of a bandstand for the Town of Oyster Bay, New York in honor of Ethel Derby Roosevelt and Leonard W. Hall. The article describes the dedication ceremonies of the bandstand, its construction, and lists the individuals and companies that supported the project. The article also gives a history of the original bandstand, highlights Theodore Roosevelt’s speech from it in 1916, and closes with brief biographies of Ethel Roosevelt and Hall.
Three photographs of various dignitaries and others attending the dedication ceremonies accompany the article. The cover of this issue of the Journal is also dedicated to the bandstand with two photographs of the newly built structure and a photograph of Theodore Roosevelt speaking from the original in 1916.
A listing of the officers and members of the executive, finance, and Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace committees of the Theodore Roosevelt Association is found on the second page of the article.
