There was no sentiment in yielding

numbers with nearly as many en-.
cores it was an evening rich in nv
steal lore as interpreted by the di-
rector and his conscientious musi-
clans. From the opening number OF
the sWinSinb march of The Banner
to the closing one Of the famous sen
tctte from Lucia di L.ummermoor, as
played by Mcssrs. D'.Amico. Codietro.
Croce, Marino. Lamparelli and Liber-
att, every selection was thoroughly
enjoyed.
The two big things of the evening
were the William Tell overture anl
the selections from II Pagliacci. The
former has been played at the corn
palace concerts i'll times past, and
each conductor has his different in
depreciation OF the great selection.
iii G~irolamo's treatment of the Tell
lumber was certainly something diff
ferent than Yet heard. Several OF
the passages are played with greater
speed, as II the limit had been taken
OFF and the band went at whirlwind
gait. Notwithstanding the rapid
movements every note came out clear
and nothing was sacrificed in har-
mony for the swiftness of the work.
Then di Giro,amo phrases the num-
Der Will, Il better idea, even more
marked than others. and this adds
to the general effectiveness of the
selection. The Tell number as d
whole is Il grand production and af-
tords a band a wide range of work.
Before presenting the II Pasliacci
selection, Manager Ellcry appeared
on the stage and directed Il few re-
marks to the audience. He said that
he had heard of the corn palace, has
read about it and has seen pictures
enough of it as to make a very
strong desire to see it and play an
engagement with his band. He saia
that he vas delighted to know that
his dream had come true. lie FEY
that the engagement was going to be
thoroughly successful, and from the
band point of view he knew that ev-
cry effort would be put forth by the
organization to come up to the re-
Quiremcnts of the situation.
Mr.. Ellcry gave an interesting de-
scription OF the selections PLAYED
from the opera of il Pagljacci and
told the story OF the opera, which is
interesting and pathetic, the music
naturally following that theme.
There were five themes presented by
the band and each of a slightly diff
ferent character, played with a con-
ccption and a quality .. that found
great favor with the audience. mi
to the climax of the final number
the great power of the band was at
tested to its %fullncss, and was in har-
mony with the finish Of the tragedy.
Two solos were presented. during
the evening. a trumpet solo by Cen
marc D'Amico and Mr.. Tom Wallace,
and both were given a fine reception.
MIR. AMIGO played Some Day by
WellinSs, a selection that is old and
tried, and the bringing | tback on
the concert program was a happy
idea. For an encore he played the
beautiful melody of Sweet Cen
.ieveve." Mr.. Wallace sang a tenor
solo entitled II hear You Calling
Me-" His singing of the number was
excellent, and his voice filled the re-.
hottest part of the corn palace build
ing. His singing will be very much
enjoyed throughout the week.
The band played a waltz number,
The Skaters" and followed with an
encore of Jolly Fellows" which
carried many in the audience to the
popularity of that selection away
back in the early nineties w%er the
