WEDNESDAY EVENING
Premier Minstrel Man Adds
New Features.
dis Band This Season will be cne
of the Big Features of the
Performance.

A unique addition to the increas ID
orchestra and band, effects of the AL
G. Field Greater AIinstrels this sea-
son, is saxaphone sextette, the in
struments for whicn cost over one
thousand dollars. The saxaphone is
the musical antithesis OF the double
reed mouthpiece, which has been
used in combination with a metal
tube, for it is the clarinet reed adapt
ed to a brass instrument. 1t was
invented in 1910 hy Adolph Sax, from
whom it derived its name. There are
several forms of the instrument, re-
sembing the clarinets very closely in
shape and being provided with the
usual keys. The tube of the saxa-
phone is conical so 1t is enabled to
produce all the harmonics, despite
the large size of its reed. In fing-
ering 1t resembles the oboe rather
than the clarinet. The six varieties
of saxaphone, include the sopranlno,
alto, tenor, baritone and bass. All
these instruments play an important
part in the splendidly equipped band
which is this year again under the
direction of Edward w. Brill, whose
brass band Is famous in Ohio and
surrounding states, and also in the
orchestra under the leadership of
Kinsell Pearce.

Once ready for the public, however, il
was easy to note the successful effort
that had been made. and the public was

had ever before been produced.
As a result, over 200,o00 sets now hold

1t Is nOw exceptionally fortunate that
the enterprise of the Cosmopolitan Maga-

cutting down the price 10 only $3.50 for
the complete work, the high standard OF

strictly maintained.
The Cosmopolitan is doing this 10 Sc

ton is being made in the larger cities.
The first allotment to Washington last
spring was quickly claimed. but even
then many who hesitated too long were
disappointed. Others were absent from
the city. and as a result frequent requests
came TO Woodward & LOthrop's to ar
range another distribution.
A limited number Of sets was finally Sc
