The appearance here Of Ellery's world famous Italian Band, under the able leadership of ChevElier Rivila, Wednes- day, January 28, at the Doris thedtcr has created much interest >among ,he patrons of the thoater. We have only to quote a few extracts from leading San Francisco papers to show .he i'm pression made in that city a few days ago:
 The Royal Italian Band is a splendid organization, and it's work is wonder ful for it's expression, grace and pre- cision. n."-San Francisco Town Talk
 The reeds dc not prodiminare ex- cctly but they tone down and soften the brass. accentuating the beauty of the latter. and at the same time doing away with the blast and bllre that is always evident in bands. The effect is indescIibable.'' san Francisco Ora matic Review.
 "The Royal Italian Band is q stun ming thing in the band way. Tn attack it is brilliantly clean, and the light and shade, quick sensitive and varied to a. degree. The climaxes obtained are magnificent. almost overwhelming a1 times, and there is a pianissimo equal e ly satisfying. San Francisco Call.
