gone music mad, and for 100 continuous
nights the band played to crowded houses
in New York city.
Creatore is a remarkable personality. He
apparently has every member of his organ-
zation hypnotized. While leading the band
his long, lank figure is seen in all sorts of
gestures, and a false note, should one be
played by member, would be his finale
with the aggregation. His ear for music is
perfect, and he is always restless, active
and alert for any mistake. Creatore, who
is but thirty-one years old, came to Amer
lea less than three years ago and played
trombone with an Italian band al Atlantic
City and Willow Grove Park, Philadelphia.
He was the concert master of the organiZa-
ton, and when the conductor was sick on
one occasion Creatore was given the baton.
Jealousy was inevitable after this The
band soon split ard Crea tore was made con-
ductor of one section OF it and played an
engagement at the Atlantic Steel Pier from
February to July in 1901, followed by an en-
gagement at Willow Grove Park in Phila-
delphia and tour of over 1900 miles all
over the Western country. His success ev-
erywhere was phenomenal. Last spring he
severed his connection with that organiza-
tion and organized band of his own.
