E1Ielys Band-Ellery's Royal Ital-
ian band met with Il rousing welcome
last evening, at Saltair, where the not
ed organization gave It's first concert
Of the 10 days series. 1t proved
favorite from the first number, stir
ing march by Holzmann, and through
out the entire evening, the entire p pops5
flation of the resort was gathered
around the band in the main bowery,
where the first concert was given No
one seemed to think of leaving until
after the close, when the 1919 p. M.
train was ready to depart
Manager Langford had the first con-
cert given in the bowery IN order to
make the public the more readily ac-
nuainted with the band. In this he sue
sceeded fully. but hereafter, evenings,
the band will play in the hippodrome,
and on the open PLATFORM afternoons.
II was thought that the low roof of the
bowery would mar the musical effects;
and while it did to some extent TINS
was not SO noticeable as was reared.
For men who had had no sleep TO
speak OF for two nights, and We're urea
ont with continuous travel. the band
did remarkably well. 1t was apparent
from the beginning that Ellery's is one
of the crack concert band organizations
or the country. and before the close OF
the evening the impression produced
was so favorable, that the managers
sof both resort and band were confldent
the concerts would bring large crowds
of music loving Salt Lake people 70

The leader. signor Taddeo d Girolamo.
is an impressive looking Italian who
conducts for phrasng and expression
rather than for time. The band does
