: PkYoR's B.AD,

1 The concert to be given by Arthur { Pryor's band at Polls tonight will be of especial interest to all classes of music lovers and tue seating capacity of the theater should be taxed to the utmost. The fame of Mir Pryo: and his band has spread all over the con. tinent and the organization may now | be justly regarded as nothing short 1 of national institution. The band 1 masters personal renown as musl. elan and Il conductor. second to that nf no American leader. has impelled him to surround himself with an ag- gregation of the most eminent musi
 cians, each of whom has won envable
 distinction as a sololst. Their com bined efforts. under the magnetic in spiration and direction of ''the Pagan
 nni of the slide trombone" produce i results of the highest character. and constitute conspicuous contribution to the musical history of our land. 1 Music, in one way or another. enters largely into the composition of ma jority of the population, being an eIe
 ment that appeals inevitably to the very best instincts and accomplish ments of human nature. and banu' music is ever the most inspiring, ell- livening, fnvigorating combination of melody. To hear Arthur Plyor's band has been likened by noted critics to the taking of a tonic and the audi ences are invariably moved to the | most emphatic demCnstrations of en- thusiasm by the wonderful achieve ments wrought by his magical baton. The list of soloists who appear at each concert includes Miss Cecilia Niles, soprano: Miss Dorothy Hoyle. violA- ist; Walter B. Rogers. cornetist. tor mer han"masi"ar of the Seventh regi- neat of N.w York. md Simone Man
 tia. assistant conductor. who gives one of his famous euphonium solos. Prces are o5, 3J. 70, Tj cents and S1.
