Instruments than was brought out of
those OF Bllerys band last night Il has
not been found BY many leaders and ii
has never been brought out in Salt Lake
before 10 say that it was good band
music is not all That a great leader can
take hold of band OF nearly 100 men.
and playing upon it as ii 1t were some
gigantic many-keyed Instrument pro-
duce such Feeling. such emotion as
Chaiffarelh did last night. is almost more
than even musicians can understand
The programme ranged All the way
from the heaviest and most classical
music to the lighter and popular airs OF
the day, and never for one instant did
the audience tire or the enthusiasm fail.
And at the last, after the programme Of
nine numbers. each Of which had called
iorth an encore. a spellbOund audience
refused to leave the building tin the leau-
er again responded-this time with ~The
Star Spangled Banner
Perhaps The most difficult selection and
the one which shows the most careful
work was the "Albumblatr from Wag-
ner With all the wealth OF music and OF
feeling which the work possesses there
was nothing lacking in its rendition. and
when the number ended the audience
paused to draw breath before the APP
plaUse rang out. the leader was almost
overwhelmed by the appreciation.
The prime favOrite was the last num-
berthe seXtette Of Donizetu from Luz

,
, but TO music lovers the Faust ''Serenade"
and the selections mentioned were the
gems Two compositions by the new
leader were splendid and were played
spiend1dly. too-thc opening number a
short march. and Marcia del Tamburi
And just word tor the new leader
new i'm every sense 10 the country and
to the band. Even before Mr. EIery
made his talk on the situation, ChaiffaT-
Z eli had won the hearts Of the audience,
ana that he had the support of the mu-
steal organization was more than evil
cenced. first by their greeting of him
and then by their appreciative following
OF his leadership. That he is destined 10
make splendid leader is beyond Ques-
ton.
Manager Ellery came forward when the
programme was half over and. spea king

EileTy's explanation was received with
the same burst of enthusiasm as that
which greeted the musical compositions
The audience fairly filled the house al

the upper than IN the lower part. but IL
was an audience OF musicians and music

with its applause.

mediocre company. opened an enlargement
OF OF three nights and matinee at the

a very large one, the counter attraction
OF the carnival proving too strong for
