ELLERY'S BAND IS HERE
Will Make Its Bow at Auditorium
Tonight.

Colonel Ellery and about a dozen
members of his band assembled at the
Auditorium at noon today and 'sized
up the place. Prof. Penny and the pipe
organ were giving a little exhibition
bout when the famous musicians a1riv-
ed, and he threw in a few lengths of
| Faust and snake charmer music for
their benefit. Colonel Ellery came in
strong on the Soldiers Chorus" but
renigged on the high notes, and several
of the foreign gentlemen assisted in the
performance by pulling down high ones
and prying up the basso with imaginary
instruments.
While they were thus engaged the
music was broken by disturbance at
the back door. and a brace of husky
draymen tossing in huge trunks and
cases, marked with Care These
packages contained the band instru-
ments.
Mr. ElIery's band is one of the dressiest
musical organizations in the business.
The elegantly tailored black garments
with the tasty dark red trimming. SILK
cords and gold lace are a decided i'm
prov ement on the glazing reds and yell
lows which mark the ordinary band.
The Grown Prince" caps bear the
word "F,lIery's'' Mr. Ellery wears a
uniform similar in general appearance
but without the red trimming, shoulder
bars and name plate
There will be no rehearsal by the
band. which is so we'll trained that it
Colonel Ellery seems to be master
of the italian language. To be sure one
who cannot make change for single
word of the language is not a Compel
ent Judge but he seems to converse f1u-
emily with the members of his band,
| and hands out the expressive little
shrugs and stabs at the atmosphere as
though he were born in the olive or
chards of sunny Italy.
The Ellery Royal italian band is a
good looking collection of Italians.
There is nothing of the peanutta or pa
nan atmosphere about the body OF
well dressed intelligent looking gentle
| men who assembled in Topeka today
