CREATORE AND HIS BAND

Ellery's Royal Italian band in which, by
! the way, one sees some familiar faces, ap-
| peared yesterday afternoon and evening at
| the Lyceum theater, and created remarka-
! Bile impression While the audiences were
not large they were made up of persons who
appreciate and enjoy good music well played.
1t is perfectly safe to say that every person
who was i'll either of yesterdays audiences
| will urge each member of his circle OF ac-
| quantance to attend one or more of the
| concerts of this band.
| The concert is really made up of two dis
| tinct shows. The director, Giuseppe Crea =
| tore, is one of these. Possessed of an intense
| temperament, and given to the physical ex-
| preston of emotion so characteristic of the
| Latins, he becomes, as soon as he appears
| before his band, living embodiment of mu-
| steal fire He twists and turns shakes and
becomes rigid, throws his arms and hands
! about in the most violent gestures. When a
! climax approaches he goes into a violent
! frenzy, even leaping into the cir. When the
! climax is safely passed, be drops back once
more into the quiet pleased conductor, cour-
! teously acknowledging the plaudits of his
| audience.
/ 1t is difficult at first to forget the conductor
| so prominent is he, so much in evidence; but
/ gradually it dawns upon the listener that he
! is securing wonderful effects. He knows all
| the compositions played by the band, by
!
| stand is a mere ornament. He walks all
around it. More than once last evening it
! single sheet of music appeared on it.
| single shee of music appeared on it.
| OF the program last evening, the ''Tann-
| haeuser" overture produced the most pro-
i found impression The climax at the con
| clusion of this Wagner number was marvel
| Gus. Never before has its equal been heard
! in this city, and the audience rewarded the
1 re load with
! travagant expressions of approval and ap-
| probation are seldom heard here The
| audience shouted it's APPROVAL handkerchief
| huttered in the air and Creatore was recalled
several times. Probably the most perfect
work was done in the rendition OF the IA
| miliar Wedding March from Mendelssohn
while the La Gioconda" number was mu-
sical joke of the finest quality, and seemed
! little short of an Italian Fourth of July
punctuated, as it was, with such a series o1
band explosions.
Nine. Barili was suffering from cold. and
in her stead, the band played Donizetti,s
ever grateful sextet from Lucia the sole
rarts being taken by Signors Palma, Aiala
| Marino, Curti, Liberatore and Barili The
effect OF this number was simply tremendous
and it was given with an elan that aroused
the audience to the highest pitch of enthu-
siasm. The Serenade," by Schubert, was
played by Sig. Palma with the band accom-
paniment acceptably, but %Fithout remark
