 full Feature

Although there was some complaint yes terday morning that there was not suff1- cient concert music to enliven the Fest- val District this apparent defect was rem edied last night when Paoletti's Concert Band of New Orleans gave a delightful rendition of difficult and pleasing selec- tions at the stand on Court Square. This band also gave Concert yesterday morn- ing at the stand in front of Hunters corner and was at the vaudeville per formance at the Auditorium in the after noon.
 Paolettrs band is one of the famous music organizations of New Orleans It is under the direction of George A. Pao- letti. The band reached here Sunday morning. There are thirty musicians in the organization.
 Paoletti and his musicians have often played in the quaint old French Opera House of New Orleans and are accus- music for some of the best singers on the stage. It is said that many Italian shoulders were shrugged and there was some muttering of discomfort when the musicians were led into the Auditorium Monday afternoon and told that they were to play accompaniments while vau- devillisns Tilted rsRtine lays. One of the musical artists is said to have declared that vaudeville was beastly no matter how good it might be.
 The second of tho big bands which are to discourse Fall Festival music came In yesterday morning at il o'clock from Att d. der the direction of Henry W. Card. Fred B. White, Chairman of the Music Com mittee of the Street Fair Association was at the Union Railway Station to meet the Georgia band.
 Just as soon as the Georgia musicians had secured their dinner they were bund- led of by Chairman White to play for the free show exhibitions at 2:30 o'clock and immense throngs of people followed them about the Street Fair district. The Geor- gia band rendered the music last night for the vaudeville performance at the Auditorium.

In addi- tion to the two bands, each of which have thirty musicians. the Pensacola Concert bank will arrive in Montgomery at o'clock this morning accompanying the Escambia Rifles. a military organiza- tion that is to participate in the military parade and review this afternoon. This Pensacola Band consists of twenty-five musicians and 1t is said to be the finest musical organization in Florida. The Ab- beville Bugle Corps will also add to the music today.

 The musicians composing the New Or leans and Atlanta bands wear handsome blue uniforms and make splendid an pearance. They render high class music and it seems that the music is to be feature of the Fall Festival.
 Mir. White, Chairman of the Music Com mittee, who. by the way, had charge Of the music during the fair last wear and is himself quite finished musician said last night that 1t was his deliberate iuds- ment that the two big bands secured for the Fall Festival were the best concert bands that had ever been heard m Mont gomery He said that the bands that were here last year were good but that these bands are much better.
