HALEY'S BAND CONCERT-Haley's
Rand was given a rousing reception at the
National Theater last night upon its first
appearance in concert this season. From
the time Mr.. Haley stepped to the front
until the conclusion of the last number,
except. Of course, when the band was play
ing, there was almost continuous ap-
plause, so that when Mr.. Haley was not
leading his men he was bowling his ac-
acknowledgements. Mr.. Haley put but one Of
his own numbers on the program. but he
gave another as an encore, and both were
well received. Mr.. Haley conductor
has an excellent method, and is easy and
graceful. The program selected for the
concert was we'll chosen and showed the
close touch that Mr.. Haley has with the
people in knowing just what peases the
popular fancy. The first number was Ha-
ley's own American Beauty march, a
composition full of swing and tone. and he
was forced to bow his thanks for the ap-
plause at least dozen times. Then the
overture to "Semiramide" brought out an
other hearty round. and Mr.. Haley re-
sponded with medley of coon songs.
In the overture Mr. Haley demonstrated
the exceptional control he has-over his
men. The work was played with splendid
knowledge and finish. and Mr.. Haley de-
served all the applause that followed. A
duet for horns played by Messrs. Hama
and Thierbach. Verdis "Foscari," proved
enjoyable, the two soloists playing their
parts in excellent style. Gems from Of
fenbach," followed by the Liberty Belr'
march as an encore, was equally enjoy
able, while the Forge in the Forest" and
the Arkansas Traveller elected much evil
dence of appreciation. Waldteufers beau
full waltz, My Dream" was followed by
| a selection from THE Huguenots" in
WHICH the the Blessing of the Swords, -
arranged for the trombone section, Messrs.
! Stone, Muellhausen and Kruger, was in
troduced This and the "Semiramide" over
ture were the best efforts Of the evening
After a comic skit, 1.-The Musicians
Strike" used for the purpose of clearing
the stage, Reeves War Memories" illus
trated by appropriate stereopticon views,
was given. Then. with the band standing
and playing Sousa's STARS and Stripes"
and with an immense American flag wav-
ing majestically in front, the concert was
, brought to close. The vocal soloist of
the evening was Mrs. Hattie Meads-Smith,
who sang the echo song from lie Pearl
de Brazil and De Koven's 20 Come to
Me. My Love- giving both in fine voice
and with excellent effect.
