san Francisco music lovers" says
/ he, know what they like. They do
not depend upon the judgments of

covered many a genius who later has
made success abroad. l am sure that

/ enthusiasm by the music loving peo-
pie of San Francisco"

John Philip sousa and his splendid
4 L. ar.fe in,
this city this afternoon and tonight
at Dreamland rink. The engagement,
which opened last Thursday afternoon
+ TO small audience, has developed into
a big success. Thursday night a larger
crowd was attracted to Dreamland rink
+ by the power of Sousa's name and each
/ succeeding concert has been an i'm
provement in attendance. The wide
4 range of Sousa's programs has been
commented on before. There is no
point in the wide arc of music that
I Sousa does not touch with his suave
baton. From "Harrigan" to Tristan
and Isolde" are some of the leaps that
he negotiates with graceful ease, and
the lover of ra gtime is persuaded with
/ insinuating power into enjoyment of
/ the deeps of music, just as the man
who loves the classics is made to see
the JOY of being frivolous once in a
while. Sousa is another name for
catholicity.
For this afternoons program Sousa
/ has selected the following numbers:
Overture, "Rienzi' Orchard Wagner);
'Minuet ct Farandole" from Bizet's
Suite No. %: Moszkowski's ''Scherzine";
overture, William Tell (Rossini).
/ Looking Upward" CSousa); "Sheri-
dams Ride" (Sousa), and several other
band numbers not counting the en-
cores which he throws in the ring of
his art Miss Florence Hardeman viii
play two movements of Mendelssohn's
violin concerto with band accompani-
ment, and the Misses Hoyt viii sing
some pretty duets.
At the evening concert Liszt's sym
! phonic poem Les Preludes," Edward
Germans welsh Rhapsody" Sousa's
People Who Live in Glass Houses
and his comic fantasy, The Band
! Came Back" will be some of the prin-
cipal numbers.

say that the box office at Dreamland
rink Will be open all day and that tele-
/ phone orders viii be taken care of.
Two concerts across the bay have
/ been arranged for by the musical and
