MANS band will present a number OF
short musical stories next Sunday af-
ternoon at the Grand. That beautiful
rustic tone-poem the overture to
William Tell, by Rossini win be one
OF them. Another of a similar charac-
ter will be The Idyll, The Forge in the
Forest, by Michaelis. The scene opens
at night with the smithy asleep and
peacefully dreaming. Morning dawns
with the awakening of the birds in the
trees oyerhanging the babbling brook
near which the smithy's shop stands
hidden in the forest. The smith
awakens at and with his little family
about him has the usual morning
prayer. He then goes blithly to his
work and soon the sund of forge and
anvil is heard as he sings at his daily
task. The number is a beautiful
musical setting to the simple story
Another story OF comedy type is
the presentation OF the best known
melody from the Merry Widow opera
the waltz number--in several styles.
First little German street banA
plays 1t, then an organ will play It
with flute obigato. An amateur with
that dangerous weapon. the slide from
bone, Will then murder the STRATA.
If he lives a street plano will grint ID
out. and a banjo club will present II
la rag time. The band will by that
time all go crazy and have brain
storm over 1T, but 1t will still hive if
the band don't.
Still another story has an oriental
setting. The Suite de Ballet Anthony
and Cleopatra, by Gruenwald, is a
story in four chapters. Chapter one
opens in the garden with Anthony and
Cleopatra luxuriating lin all the pomp
and splendor OF oriental royalty.
Chapter two presents the dance of the
Nubian maidens. The senuous rhythm
of these oriental dances is well de-
picted. No. 8 presents solo dance
with all the abandonment of the trop-
les. No. presents the fanfare of
trumpets and majestic swing of
Anthony's victorious march. This
was used two years ago in
the Ringing show for the grand entry
in the oriental specticle Nero, and was
received with great applause wher-
ever given.
The last number of the programme
suggests Uncle Sam, Yankee Doodle
and all the rest of Americas charac-
ters. The number is the American
fantasia American Forever, by Tobani,
and presents a melody of national
songs in remarkably effective ar
rangement. Incidentally the encore

will also have stories to tell. The
