GERMAN MARINE BAND.
Two Successful Concerts Given at Co.
lumbia Theater.

AS brass band, which was really all il
pretended to be, the First German Marine
Band, which gave two concerts at the Co
lumbia Theater yesterday, was a distinct
success. 1t played with splendid precision
and rhythm, and the phrasing was excel
lent. 1t is question, however how far an
organization such as this can interpret
purely orchestral music satisfactorily In
the "Parsifar' prelude the effect of the
strings was, of course, completely lost, and
that was the least effective of all the num-
bers on the night program. In the band
music the force was thoroughly adequate,
and in some of the other selections the eff

The leader is a strapping big fellow, over
six feet in height and weighing over $50
pounds. He also wore a marine officers
sword. and looked as If he had the ability
as well as the authority to enforce dis
cipline in his force.
The band played all its numbers with
spirit and vim, and although the waltz
tempo was rather too rapid it wasn't in

The right shoulders of persistent
golfers coats have to be padded, for
golf develops the left shoulder SO alb
normally that, without this padding,
the young men would look little de-
formed.
In driving the players right arm and
shoulder only guide the balls course,
1t is the left arm and shoulder that do
the work; hence the excessive left side
development, to counterfeit which it is
sometimes necessary to put in the
right shoulder Of the coat padding an
inch deep.
Tailors can always tell golfer by
this peculiar development of his left
shoulder. Sometimes young women
play enough to get uneven shoulders
too. The deformity, though, is rare

young men it is common. louisville
