MUSIC AT THE EXPOSITION.
Famous Innes band Engaged to Play for
hiI Weeka nt Omaha

Omaha, Sept. l7.-Innes' famous
New York city concert band has been
engaged to play at the Transmissis-
sippi Exposition daily from September
25th to October 3lst. This band is one
OF the most successful musical organi-
zations in the country to-day. Freder-
lex y. Inues, the conductor, first made
n reputation as trombone player.
When he took up the trombone 1t was
known solely MS nm Instrument of per
cussion, and he astonished the world
by demonstrating It's adaptability to
solo playing, capable OF finely express
Ing all phases OF passion. In fact, he
was the discoverer OF trombone music.
the originator of the triple b Hat tuba
which he uses. When he organized his
band he gave mp trombone playing.
and now he persistently refuses TO
play except an occasional number at
one of his own band concerts or In
compliment to some distinguished
gathering OF friends. He Just planted
his nag on the mountain. like Excel
slor. and came down again to begin
climbing another ladder TO fame.
Professor Irnes attributes much of
his success as n band leader to the at
tention and care he gives to the max
ing of programs. He has been criti-
cised for playing music too classical
for the lay mind. and In reply he points
to the large crowds that attend HIS
concerts wherever they are given. He
says the details OF his program are
his first concern after he closes the
contract for n concert. He studies not
only the people, but the circumstances
under which the concert is to be given,
and aims to make n program to fit,
with soIhe special numbers on 1t which
may be particularly appropriate. His
''childrcn's day" concerts have proved
very successful feature of his en-
gagements. The merriment of children
makes all hearts glad, and the chill
dren's program pleases the grown pco-
pie as well as the little folks. In addi-
tion to the music. which Is written
especially for children, chorus of chill
drens voices is frequently used. Pro-
fessor Inncs has himself written sew
eral pieces of music for his ''children's
day" concerts which delight the little
people in much the same way Us the
simple little storiea OF their fayorite
authors.
