The Band Concert of Wednesday Eve
Success All Round.

The East Jordan Military Band gave
their Concert last Wednesday evening
at Loveday Opera House before a big
audience. The proceeds, which
amounted to some $S5 are to be used
toward purchasing uniforms. The
uniforms, without doubt, will be
cadet gray trimmed with black, and
will make a handsome showing. The
boys will probably make their first
appearance in them on Memorial Day.
The Concert Program was carried
through with an ease that denoted
careful management. 1t opened with
a Band selection entitled "Institute
March," Following this was a Banjo
solo by A. ii. Perkins which brough,
forth an encore, for this Mr.. Perkins
gave an exhibition Of trick playing,
Conductor Meyers Baritone solo,
'When the Swallows Homeward Fly"
was a difficult piece and well rendered
| Following this came an instrumental
Quartette "Fond Hearts" by Messrs
Painter, Brotherton. Howard and
| Meyer. A cornet solo by Will ID.
Moyer-drector of Kalkaska Military
Band -entitled 1.-The Star Polka"
was well rendered. Part / closed with
an overture "Little Nugget" by the
| Band.
During the interlude. Miss Ermina
Stone rendered "Spring Dawn" on
the piano.
Part III opened with a Cornet solo,
''Zarada Polka" rendered by Mr.
Painter, which was enc0red, Then
came song by nine jolly bachelors
each dressed with shirt waist and
the latest Tor otherwise) style of
millinery-t;le song being entitled
'Emancipated Men," Mr.. Meyer
then gave song and cake walk en-
titled Murphy s Cake Walk" bright
and catchy song composed by w. ID.
Meyer. Following this came Toota-
phone solo entitled "Pasquinade de
Zylophone" (patriotic): we won t
attempt to describe it, but the ghosts
in that piece would put to shade
anything that Banco ever produced.
They were encored, but somehow
they had footed out, so it had TO be
given up.
The Goal Heavens Revenge" a
one.act farce closed the program. The
characters in this play were: Dr..
Cureaum. o. II. Meyer; Grouty, VIM.
Gotham; Johnnie, Lee Gilbert; Jim
Anthracite, Cliff Rowley; Joe Lehigh,
Fred Gilbert. 1t was a cute piece Of
stage.setting and the efforts of the
Doctor to capture the coal beavers
required fast work.
The accompanies for the evening
were Mrs. Brotherton, Miss Gilbert
and Mrs. w. d. Meyer.
