DAY OF MELODY.

Tomorrow p. S. Gilmore and his
famous band with quartet of singers
will be at the Opera House for two con-
certs. 1t is no wonder that Mr.. Gill
more drew great honses in St. Louis; no
wonder he was offered S5O,OOO Tor
short season in London; no wonder that
Madison Square Garden, New York,
offered and urged years engagement
upon him, and il is equally no wonder
that Manhattan Beach would not give
up its contract with him, or that st.
Louis has renewed contract for the
next two years at the Exposition. A
band which can do with brass and reeds
almost all that an orchestra can accom-
plish in the way of musical effects;
which Is so perfectly balanced and
trained that there is just enough of
everything and loo much OF nothing, Is
rare achievment, but this one Is
equally good I'm performing light and
delicate idyl or brilliant, dashing and
powerful selection from List or Warner
or beautiful arrangement from some
opera where one of his famous instru-
ments plays the voice part.
