The Chicago Marine Band.
Brooke's Chicago Marine Band is
magnificent organization. Portland has
heard all the great bands of the country,
Gilmore's Sousa's, Inness American
of Providence, Boston Cadet, Ger
manians, Salem Cadet, leaving out the
Boston Symphony, which is as is well
known an orchestra not military band.
OF all the baads we have mentioned
we known Of none that has given more
thorough satisfaction than Brcoke's
Chicago Marine band. While the audience
was not what it should have been. the
band "cranks" were there and they were
m est enthusiastic. Such splendid body
of tone as this band displays, Such
superb coloring; such effeots as they
produce. why it is worth going miles
to hear them play. and the director Mr..
and gracefully as If he was amusing him
self while listening to their music.
We do not propose going into an elabor-
at, analysis of every number The paper
is not large enough, for besides the regu-
lar programme there were extra enough
to make two OF three more. When one
of the programme numbers was played
a large card, with the numerical figure
upon 1t, was placed in front of the stage,
and when an extra the card was so
marked.
Miss ..Sybel Sammis, also won first
place in the affections of the audience
at the start. She has an admirable
mezzo soprano voice, clear and musical,
of admirable com pass, and her ennunci-
alton is as distinct as possible. She sang
"Nobil Signor" with all the execution
that was to have been expected from
one SO extensively heralded, and for
ancores the song "Starlight'' and
quaint love song.
When the Chicago Marine band comes
to Portland again City hall will be all
too snail to hold the audience.
