CREATORE CONCERT
 COMPLETE SUCCESS

The Concert given by Creatore and his band of fifty here last Thursday night proved complete success in every way. The enter tainment proved better than it was.. possible to picture it in the adver-- Using beforehand, and the attend ance was so large that the financial triumph was also complete. A small amount was cleared above all expenses.
 The general public by its liberal patronage of the entertainment, showed it's gratitude to those to- whose efforts the coming of Creatore4 to this place was due, and their appreciation of the really good in music. It is gratifying to know that the people of Williams want the best that is to be had in enter-- tainments. It makes the town a much more desirable place in which to live.
 Except for the encores which the spontaneous andpersistent applause, of the audience secured after all but the closing number of each part, the program given by the band follows:
 American Navy Creatore :. William Tell Beassin Miserere Travatore Verde.
 Solo by Signori Catena, and.
 Bossi
 Hungarian Rhapsodie Listz
 Part IT
 Blue Danube Strauss
 Barcarole- - Hoffman
 Sextette Lucia -- Danizetti
 Solo by Signori Catena, Nalin,
 Rossi, Malvasia, De Luca, Florio
 Selection Carmen Bizet
 The following is an an apprecia-- tion of the Concert written by a member of the Music club. We. heartily agree with the article and publish with pleasure:
 The Concert given at the Sultana Theater May 20 by the wonderful Creatore and his band is one long to be remembered.
 The interpretation of the entire program gave new life to many familiar numbers and the rare privilege of hearing master read ing of less known works. Creatore, in his generous and gracious manner added a number of delightful encores.
 To hear the marvellous effects, the subtle nuance, and the precision with which each choir responded to its leader convinced all of the, power and charm of music. The entire band was beautifully balan- ced but perhaps the program gave the brass and wood wind choirs, best opportunity for brilliant work.
 The much hackneyed sextette from Lucia showed it's wonderful beauty when done by artists, the work of the cornetist being especial ly enjoyed. The Lizst Rhapsody and William Tell Overture gave exquisite love poems and the rous- ing selection from Carmen as ax finale carried the audience to O. spontaneous enthusiasm whiof7re-- peatedly interrupted the Selection.
 Too much cannot be said to com mend the spirit which prompted Mir. J. R. Scantlin in securing and so successfully this won 1erful musical treat. f: ne'
 There are few small towns that can boast of supporting such, a.. concert and it behooves evesry- citizen who is interested in the 'etterment of the town to support both morally and financially any uch venture. Surely we go about happier for 'avlng been lifted out of the work day world and should eneouraop.

MOST UNPOPULAR BALL TEAM
Rough STUFF With Spikes Causes
Players Of Seven Other Teams to
Dislike stalllnos' Men.

The most unpopular ball team in
the business just now, from the ball
players viewpoint, is the Boston Ma.
tional. Over.conceit is what one
writer termed the feeling which dom.
mates the Braves, but, according to
players on other teams, over.conceit
Is a mild word. Seven teams In the
National league are hoping for Gel.
lar berth for the Braves, writes J. ".
linck In st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The Braves not only expect to re.
peat their 1914 performance, but they
know they will. Which feeling prob.
ably will help them a long way to-
ward winning championship. They
do not hesitate to inform players on
other teams of their feelings, and like
wise the Braves have very poor
opinion Of the other National teams.
which they express freely.
What really gets the other teams,
however, is a tendency on the part
OF some of the Boston players to use
their spikes II they get the chance on
the opposition's feet and legs. Some
rugh stuff In this line has been pulled
OF this season. which explains the
marked dislike the players of other
teams have for the Braves. Inciden
tally. dislike Is mild word to ex
press the anti.Boston feeling.

Invcstnlcn, in Good Citizenship

1T is mistaken theory of the place that
i parks should occupy in communty's life
to regard them solely as beauty spots. where
the tired wrestler with lifc's problems and
difhculties may commune with nature and
invite his soul That is part of their func-
ton. assuredly but they have another. equal
ly important. which is the innocent and
healthful recreation of youth.
1t is because we believe so profoundly in
this that we have supported the plan to
utilize the Shields Lake annex To William
Byrd Park as a playground and recreation
center. Doing Richmond will follow the
example of New York. Boston, Cleveland.
Baltimore and almost every other large city
where great Fairgrounds and athletic fields
are integral features OF the park systems.
There are few things so important TO any
municipality as TO make wise provision for
the innocent amusement of its young people
Every dollar spent in this way is an invest
ment in good citizenship and insurance
against the temptations urban life offers and
to which so many thousands succumb.
