MAN IN CONVICT GARB RUNS AT

Dick Ferris has escaped! Last night
attired in a convict suit he dashed down
Nicollet, escaped the hands of a curious
mob, tore loose from a policeman,
jumped into waiting automobile at the
Union station, and was whirled away to
safety.
When it was learned that it was Dick
Ferris everybody was asking how long
since has he been a convict, and the
story came out. 1t seems that he is a
member Of the mystic Ak-Sar-Ben, and
last night at the 1yceum, when he was
playing the convict scene in nThe Man

THE GRENADIER CONCERTS

The Grenadier Guards band has come

delightful memory; Its two. concerts

minds Of those so fortunate as to hear

playing of the band, the unique but
most effective leading of the conductor,
and the exquisite solo playing by the
members.
It is not too high praise to say that
at it's concerts yesterday, was the finest
band work ever heard here. There was
precision of attack that was little
short efEmarvelous. Its expression I'M

the impression Of single instrument,

Of Lieutenant Williams, 1t Is q little

directing is the acme of Delsartean art,
and yet every motion is made for pur-

and readily by his men as the spoken
or written word. It is not to his dis
paragement to say that he fails to quite

makes them little too strenuous, and

ing of the solo in the prison scene, by
Corporal R. Gay, as arranged for. the

who heard it. The tones of the instru-
ment were so pure and tender as al
most to call tears to the eyes. 1t was
wonderful achievement.
