Well Known Band.

Carl Spence, who has already made
for himself an enyiable reputation IN
the musical world, will be the soloist

is a pupil of Miss Mary Lindsay Oliver
in Moline and although he has studied
for only a year and a half he has
made wonderful strides in musical
education. He is but 10 years of age
and has a tenor voice Of surprising
qualities for one so young and he
sings with a remarkable understand
ing OF his composition.
His voice is clear, wonderfully fresh
and sweet and of a pure unspoiled
quality. Last spring he sang before
Arthur Middleton, an expert on the
voice. who pronounced a brilliant fu.
ture for him. He will sing "Cavatina'
from Faust and Mother Machree,
with Miss Oliver as his accompanist
The band has arranged a most inter

demands of the musicians are unjust.
One Of them, commenting on the latest
expression of the players ultimatum,
said today:
'If a man should want to start
moving picture house out in some
suburb, for instance, and stage only
-one act OF vaudeville, he would be
compelled to pay $135 a week for his
music whether he used one player OF
| five. Furthermore, the musicians
have waited until the last moment tc
announce their demands. The vaude
vile season is now about to open and
the uncertainty that surrounds tht
| proposition of securing the necessary
music will seriously interfere with the
business. If we do not accede to theil
demands it means vaudeville withou
music"
