The Band boys will give a dance at the Sultana theatre Saturday night for the purpose of raising funds to help defray the expenses of thelr annual summer camp. The boys are now busy selling tick cts to their friends and a large at tendance is assured.
 This is one of these cases where the dollars spent to attend the dance do double duty. Each con- tributor gets his full moneys worth in the excellent dance offered, and at the time the dollars assist very materially in making long camp vacation possible for the boys.

CREATORE AND BAND
 0F FIFTY PIECES

As musician, Sig. Creatore who is to appear here May 20 takes rank with the foremost conductors of the day, and his organization is we'll nigh perfect. One of the leading features of Creatore's Band is the marvellous precision of its members Every chord is played as if by a single instrument, and that with a single crispness that is almost start ling. Another feature of the band is the splendid crescendo effects. Strange as it may seem this leader plays heavy programs without a note to guide him, and the bands repertoire is one of the most ex-o tensive known. On a tour to Cana da in 1910 this organization created real sensation. Part of lengthy article published in the Quebec Chronicle is as follows: s'There are bands and bands, and there are also leaders and leaders. Quebec has seen and heard many of them. Butit can be stated as an absolute fact that Creatore, band leader and musical artist, furnished a unique and novel experience to the music lovers of the Ancient Capital The large ahd fashionable audience which assembled at the Auditorium had come prepared to listen to something out of the common, and there was no division of opinion that their expectations had been fully realized. There has never been a director who has won such. spontaneous and such an enthus- iastic greeting in Quebec as Crea- tore. It was no faint hand-clap- ping which greeted him; it was no perfunctory call for encores; but it was wave of cheers and cries of approval that brought the famous leader back before the footlights to bow in acknowledgment, which with all his modesty, he could not escape without repeated encores- There has never been band in Quebec which has given such succession of tone pictures, all ap- parently evolved fapm the wonder ful wand which the masterful di- rector yields. It is real object lesson in phrasing, expression, con- trast and artistic conception that Creatore succeeds in obtaining. h. spired by the artistic enthusiasm of its leader the band proved rev elation. It would be hard to say which was the most enjoyable, the woods or the brasses. Both were so exceptionally excellent, and in con- junction so magnifcently grand, that there was good reason for the wonderful enthusiasm which they worked up among the great audi ence present"
