SOuSa's Band Concert.

The Sousa band was a surprise to British
musicians and public alike on its recent
concert tour of the tight little island"
where the military band was supposed to
have reached its highest development. The
Instrumentation of the band was different
from that of the leading British bands and
much interest was manifested in the dou-
BILE bell euphonums, the saXaphones, the
gigantic tubas, including the famous
"Sousaphone," the iuegelhorn and the
other strange instruments in the Ameri-
can organza ton. This British tour of the
American representative band was in every
respect the most successful visit of the
kind ever made there by any foreign or
ganiZation. The tour was a succession OF
ovations and record-breaking receipts. and
the great compliment paid the American
composer and conductor by the King of Eng
land, when he had the Sousa band play at
Sandringham, and decorated the march
king with the medal of the Nict oran
order, set the final seal of approval upon
the American musician. The entire Brit
ish press was no less cordial in their re-
ception of the band their critiques running
the entire gamut of praise. Mr. Sousa is
at present engaged on his twentieth semi
annual American tour, in the course OF
which visit Will be paid to this city, play
ing a single popular concert at the Co.

soloists with the band this year are Maud

The movement of dramatic events within
the past few years demonstrates that there
is an an increasing constituency alre ady
large for deftly tempered poetic and semi
classic plays Education and the advance
currents of general culture are the infiuen-
ces that have developed strong inclination
not for literary plays per Sc, but for vivid
ly dramatic conceptions nodded in brilliant
literary form. Had there been a doubt of
this in the mind of Otis Skinner prior TO
his experience with "In a Balcony last
spring the success OF that ambitious en-
deavor broke down all hesitation. and the
logical result was his choice of Francesca
da Rimini' with which to continue his
conquest of high opinion. The play lends
itself happily to spectacular use. Its
scenes are placed in courts and palaces,
and there is a glitter of costume. stately
play of pomp and ceremony in which the
scenic artist delights. The large company
has been chosen for its special fitness for
the four principals and many important
subsidiary characters, and includes such
well-known players as Aubrey Bouccau ult,
William Norris and Marcia Van Dresser

"Peu Hur"

Klaw changers Ben Hur." to be
presented at the National Theater Mon
day evening, February 10, is recognized
as the biggest spectacle yet presented on
the American stage. 1t was In the nature
of things that General Wallace's novel
should be dramatized. For many years the
general rejected the inducements which
were held out to him. The late Lawrence
Barrett made frequent oyertures. but was
unable to submit any form of dramatiza-
ton which was satisfactory to the au-
thor The chief difficulty was the intro
duction of the personality of the Messiah.
General Wallace could not see how Justice
could be done the story without the vis-
1ble presence of an fmpersonation Of the
Savior. The chariot race also presented
almost insurmountable mechanical difficult
ties to his mind, so it was not until Klaw
ErlangT submitted their plans that
the authors interest was aroused. The
chariot race was purely a question of me-
chanics interviewer with the results of the
work of the greatest scenic artists of the
day. But Klaw & Erlanger had another
end in view when they decided to produce
Ben Hur." They determined to present
the most splendid stage spectacle of mod
ern times. into which the eastern story Of
love and hate, the tremendous events Of
the greatest portion of the worlds history.
should find the most adequate expression
and illustration More than three hundred
people are employed in the principal ccenes
of Ben Hur." and this number. does not
include the seventy-three stage carpent ers
