AN EXCELLENT BAND.
D'urbanos Italian Band Pleases at
Opening Of Engagement.


D'Urbano's Italian band opened an
engagement of six days with matinee
and evening concerts at the Kerredge
theater yesterday. The band Is a very
large one, with forty-five pieces, and
is one of the finest musical organiza-
lions ever heard in this city. The
rendering of Verdi's "Trovatore" last
evening was unusually good and the
band received an ovation upon it's con-
clusion. The singing by Miss Reid
was very pleasing. her voice being of
a very delightful quality. The work
of Signor D'Urbano in conducting the
orchestra was unique to say the least,
and as he waved his wand and shook
his hair at the musicians he seemed
to hypnotic the music from their in
struments, drawing forth notes appar-
emily with his finger tips, and gyratlng
from side to side, he presented a
strange figure of marked individuality
OF manner.
