CHANCE FOR MUSIC LOVERS
July Festival at Davenport Presents
Comparison of Schools.


The July musical festival at Daven-
port will present two as widely differ
ent conductors as could well be imag-
ined. The first week will be taken up
by the Italian Ferullo, whose strenu-
BUSINESS in directing is said to be the
chief attraction of his concerts. For
the second week the management has
made famous as the official musical or.
ganization of the worlds fair in ST
Louis in 1904 Musical critics and the
public in general have not been able
to find any counterpart for We'll and
his style of directing other than the
late Theodore Thomas. They attribute
to We'll many of the characteristics OF
the worlds most famous orchestra
the same dignified, scholar
ly unsteady directing and the same
and thorOughness of inter
probation. 1t is Conductor Wells pur
pose to play the masters as they would
have their works rendered, rather than
to run into bombastic climaxes and
finaIes. Mr.. We'll has so in
strumented his band as to approach as
closely as it is possible for a band 70
do so the tonal effects of an orchestra.
The effect of this Instrumentation, par
ticularly in the classic numbers. is
The comparison of the two
schools of music, the American and
the Italians should be interesting to
