kept Uncle sam busy for season or
two of skirmishing are expected to
take as captives. Their victory VIII
be celebrated with martial music, and
the weapons viii be instruments of
melody.
mean to say, in language suggested
by the press representative of the Con-
stabulary band. that Taft's pet organ
ization viii arrive here today on its
way back to Manila and play a matinee
and an evening program at Dreamland
rink. The time set for the first at
tack is $50. The night advance viii
be at SIS. To drop the overworked
metaphor, the Constabulary band is an
authentic musical organization, com
bining the brightness of a huge mill
tary band and the softer and more al
Turing qualities of the orchestra. That
is to say, and those who heard the
band play here on its way to Washing
ton. where it participated in the inau-
garation ceremonies Of President TAFT,
VIII bear me out in the assertion that
and assumes the strings and qualities
of an orchestra at wiz. Its repertoire
is dual-bombastic and dashing, or
classic and insnuating, according 10
whether il is a band or an orchestra.

On Monday afternoon and night the

Under the auspices of the Claiming
auxiliary Miss Anna Miller Wood, the
well known. contralto and musician
from Boston, viii appear next Thurs
day afternoon at the First Unitarian
church in a recital of songs, Frederick
Maurer accompanying. Hother Wis
mer viii play violin obligau TO several
OF the songs.
AS a thoughtful yet poetic interpreter
of songs Miss Wood has few equals in
the country. and her voice is adequate
In volume and timbre to the presenta-
= Of arfn sol Of al
composition. Her program viii be un-
usual by reason of the many novelties
10 be heard. It may seem strange to
refer 10 a fourteenth century air as
novelty, but such indeed will Joseph
lieber Joseph" prove TO us. Miss Wood
viii sing a group of old melodies, Sc
lections from the greatest of German
song writers. if we forget Schu-
bert and Schumann, a number of COM
positions by American writer's,
bracketed trio of French songs, and
several numbers which she has been
requested to add. The program should
be not alone Interestingly should be
a musical treat.
