Sousa is omnpresent! He has his
place in this history making epoch,
place as unique as his musical genius
is original and daring. In the military

the ball room, in the concert hail. at the
seaside and on the mountains, go where
you may, you hear Sousa, always Sou
sa. The urchin in the streets blithely
whistle the haunting melody of Sousa

eVOkes applause when she plays the
strains before admiring friends. 1t is
Sousa in the band. Sousa in the orches-

the hand organ. Sousa in the music
box, Sousa everywhere. The American
composer is the man: not Of the day or
of the hour, but of the time. His great
band fairly monOpolizes the concert
field and his operas are to be presented
in every music loving community dur
ing the coming season. In the course
of their grand transcontinental tour the
Sousa band will be at the Grand next
Sunday for two concerts, in the after
noon and evening.

The great success achieved in New
York by Blanche Bates is very crafty
ing to her friends in Butte and
throughout the West but it is not sur
prising to them. 1t has long been their
confident prediction that If she ever got
rid of the Frawley handicap and was
given an opportunity she would speedily
be recognized as one of Americas great
est actresses. She now has the oppor-
tunity and the world is hearing of her
success.
