what is called a hit" and even then hard
ly composer makes more than one hit in
a lifetime. With John. Philip Sousa, how
ever. 1t seems TO be different. He has of
recent years composed five consecutive
marches which have spread throughout mu-
sic-playing America with marvellous rapidi-
ty. The sales of his "High-school Cadets
and washington POST marches have sur
passed any ever issued in this country, as
every one must know who hears them
played in parlors, ball rooms, concerts,
parades, etc, all over the country. and
played on hand organs, whistled by messen-
ger bows and humned by everybody. Fol
lowing in the lines of these famous marches
are Sousa's later ones, THE Beau Ideal,
Manhattan Beach" and Liberty Bell.
There is surely some popular vein that
SOusa's genius has struck. or this unheard-
of success could never attend so many OF
his works. Sousa's band will give con
cert at Pomlinson Hall tomorrow night.
There has been a large advance sale.
