Ithaca Band at Luna Park.

The Ithaca Band, one of the most enter
tanning and certainly one of the best
bands before the public, will terminate
its successful season at Luna Park Sat-
urday night next. Music, much music
more music and then some" seems to be
Patrick Conway's trademark. AS an up
to-the-minute bandmaster his work is
smooth and shows care and ,1ainstaking
in preparation, an example that might
be practiced by other conductors, many
of whom depend largely upon reputa-
tions acquired when the world was
younger. Put on your thinking cap and
see If you can call to mind an orchestra
that can play any better or sing more
agreeably or produce better solo must
clans than the Ithaca Band. and your
thinking apparatus will be sorely taxed
before you can decide on it's equal The
playing of the Ithaca Band is not a per-
functory performance in which to every
note Is given it's exact tone value pitch
power and tempo. Each artist with the
Ithaca Band is capable Of humoring an
Instrumentation and can absorb and live
the part he plays. His individual spirit
pervades the whole; he Is cnrapport
with the audience; yet so perfect is the
precision, SO exact the time, SO absolute
the harmony SO wonderful the unison
that the fifty instruments are as one
played by a master musician.
Prof A. Alfreno, the renowned aeriaIist,
is electrlfylng the park patrons With his
marvellous feats on a wire suspended
seventy-five feet in the air. No wire
walker has ever deigned to think, let
alone put into execution, so hazardous a
task as that of depending on his nerve
and ability without the aid of a balancing
pole. He concludes his exhibition with
cooking and eating a hearty luncheon
from portable stove making a complete
change of costume in midair.

Fearful Itching
A2flliCtS Family
For Six Months They Suffered Tor
tures-Patches of Humor Be-
came Raw-Could Hardly Sleep
Medical Treatment Did No
Good, but
Two Sets of Cuticura
Cured Them i'm Ten Days

Last February my sister broke out with a
humor which gradually spread TO the rest OF the
family l being the last to take 1t. 1t manifested
itself in patches varying from the size Of pea
to that Of a silver dollar. The joints of our
limbs were most affected. The parts where the
skin was tender became raw and irritated
and we were able to sleep but little because the
Itching got SO bad at night. My sister consulted
q physician. but he unable to name the dis
ease and the treatment he prescribed did no good
at all. As the warm weather came on we were
tortured worse than ever, the irrtated parts caus
ing us to scratch until they would bleed. In
August, when it at Its worst, my sister was
given a cake of Cuticura Soap. This she tried
and 1t afforded much relief that bought the
complete treatment consisting Of Cuticura Soap,
Cutcura Ointment and Cuticura Pills. This We
used according to directions, and Immediately the
humor began to disappear. then bought another
set and the whole family cured by these two,
the botches disappearing in ten days. After this
used the Cuticura Pills for ten days more to
be sure that the humor had gone to stay. We
have not been troubled since, and all think
that If it had not been for the Cuticura Remedies
We would have been suffering yet. George W.

ERA Diavolo."

Practically the same popular artists whom
the Aborn management assembled last week
| for the revival Of THE Bohemian Girl
will be seen next week in Auber's equally
meritorious romantic opera, Fra Diavolo,'
at the New National Theater. Beside the
welcome announcement Of another classic
of the high order of this opera, the New
National clientele will be still more pleased
that Its presentation brings back fascinat-
ing Estelle Wentworth for the role Of Ter
lima. Miss Wentworth, this summer in the
Aborn Opera Company. in Washington and
other cities, has risen above the most san
guine prophecies Of her admirers, demon
strating her right to place among the
opera. In the role Of Zerlina she will have
adequate opportunity to add still more
laurels to her credit. for 1T offers great
most difficult part in the opera. the title
role of Diavolo, the courtly leader OF the
bandits, will be assumed by Harry Luck
stone-the most difficult to cast satisfactor-
music. The part was written for high
baritone, but is often sung by tenor.
However, the majority OF baritones have
to cut out parts Of it that are too high, OF
point the music, and on the other hand,
the majority of tenors are not equal to Its
lower portions Mr.. Luckstone has not only
perfectly controlled voice, but also pos
sesses wider range than the majority of
baritone, and the music of Diavolo finds
an exemplary interpreter in him. The three
comedy roles Of Fra Diavolo'' will be hap
PLY placed with Robert Lett as Beppo,
Huntington May as Giacomo and Phil Bran
son as Lord Allcash, who make an admi-
rabe trio for an opera of this lofty order on
account of all three possessing remarkable
voices for comedians.
Among other popular members of the
Aborn personnel to be seen next week are
Harold Blake In the tenor role of Lorenzo,
Edith Bradford the stately Lady Allcash,
c. w. Phillips as Matteo. Mile Murray as
Roberto and the same big retinue of cho-
risters that always assist in an Aborn sue
cess. The regular Wednesday and Satur-
day matinees will be observed as usual.

"a Bunch of Violets."

| Miss Charlotte Walker will be seen at
| the Belasco Theater next week in an
other play which will display her versa
| til!ty and varied talents, when she will ap-
pear in Sydney Grundy's powerful society
drama, "A Bunch of Violets." This play
is in striking contrast to the current Of
fering at the Belasco, "a Dolls House. in
which the gifted actress has scored such a
sensational triumph, and her admirers Will
! have another chance to see her in lead
ing role totally different from anything in
which she has yet AIRED in Washing
ton. She will be seen as Mrs. Murgatroyd
who is the most striking character In
series Of wonderful character sketches
drawn by the celebrated English play
wright. Mrs Murgatroyd. In plain words
is an adventures OF the most pronounced
type. Years before the play opens she had
married Sir Philip Marchant, only to leave
him because he was penniless. He mar
ries again, and then Mrs. Murgatroyd
shows her hand and uses her power to the
best advantage
The role is that of a daring and design
ing woman, but with many redeemlng
traits, and there are many moments OF an
intense nature. Miss Walker may easily
be expected to give performance that Will
arouse admiration and compel recognition
Of such versatility that will permit her to
play a sympathetic heroine one week and
a powerful emotional role the next week
Edward Ellis will be seen as Sir Philip
Marchant, and the rest OF the company Will
include Alice Butler, Rosetta Brtce. Sydney
c. Mather. Edwin Fowler, Alfred Hudson,
jr., Samuel Klawans. II. w. Parker and
others There will be the usual Wednes-
day and Saturday matinees, and III re-
spouse to requests from many friends who
were unable to meet her at the reception
on the Belasco roof garden last Monday
night, Miss Walker has kindly consented to
hold another reception after the perform
ance Of "A Bunch Of Violets" next Monday
night, to which the audience Is invited.

the committee of seven selected by the
members of the Chamber Of Commerce to
choose a site for a building 1t was an
nounced that no definite conclusions had
been reached. The meeting was held in the
offices Of the American Security and Trust

1t was announced that within the past
day or two very desirable site for the pro-
posed building was offered to the commit

the offer was not able to give the required
option on the property on account of the ab-
sence of the owner from the city. The

length. Later 1t was decided to allow the

parture. Otherwise. 1t is said, President
