BAND CONCERT
OPENING EVENT
Nash Band Offers Pleasing
Program at Lincoln Park
Rest Room Dedication.
MANY PEOPLE ATTEND

Ideal summer weather, acres of at
traetive park grounds, and a varied
program of band music to dedicate the
erection of rest station-two thou
sand persons, agreed that such pro-
gram offered delightful entertainment
for Sunday afternoon, were at Lin
coin Park yesterday for the Nash band
dedicatory concert. The comfort sta
tion with its refreshment booths and
black and white bandstand, is a most
attractive bide-a-wee spot on the park
grounds and audible complimentary
comments could be heard from every
group.
City park officials, cooperating with
H. L. Booth, director of the band, ar
ranged a musicale program which, in
appealing to every taste, offered excel
lent opportunity for the band to in
terpret varied difficult and delicate Sc
lections. The concert began promptly
at three o'clock with a rendition of the
II. M. B." march by Bandmaster Buys
OF the Huntington municipal band,
formerly with Sousas incorporates.
Followed by variety of selections
including selections from Offenbach
operas, and selections from the favor
lite Martha" Safranek's "Don Quix-
ote" suite in four parts was exception
ally we'll given. The suite is founded
on the story of the same name by Ger
vantes; and of the four parts the FIRST
three-A Spanish Village, Sancho Pan
"a, Dulcinea-are characteristic. The
fourth-Don Quixote-is somewhat de-
scriptive, introducing the Dong war
like but sad nature. During his jour
ney in quest of adventure, he discovers
the windmills. After the encounter he
again sets forth, lamely at first, but
eventually again the self-confdept.
heroically-inclined knight of Yore.
One of the most delightful offerings
was Bandmaster Booths composition.
"The Nash March," dedicated to the
Nash Motors company. The program
was brought to a rousing climax with
Loose Lucas" characteristic march
by Losey, the arranger for the Thomas
A. Edison laboratories.
Solos Prove Popular.
A novel variation which proved non
ular with the audience were several
vocal selections by F. j. Fuzzy" Ad-
kins and Mrs. Adkins. Adkins was
formerly Chicago cabaret performer
and he gives to his selections that
swing and Tilt which are certain to at
tract the fancy of his audience. Barn
houses "Rock of Ages" with variations.
given as an euphonium solo by Walter
Evans, gave the appropriate touch to a
Sunday afternoon concert.

PUT WISCONSIN
ON MOVIE-MAP
]. G. Rhode viii Make
Badger Exhibitors Ma
tionaIIy Famous.
WAR ON PROFITEERS

l. is no small thing to take an as
ISOLATION to which one pays dues ana
make it an institution from which one
receives dividends, none the less tna'
is what Joseph G. Rhode proposes TO
do with the Wisconsin Exhibitors as
sociation, Of which he was made presl-
dent at a recent conclave OF movie
managers in Milwaukee.
81 can't reveal all of my plan JUST
vet.p Mr.. Rhode stated today, but
can say that / have employed an agent
to assist me who will receive salary
of $4,000 a year. That's quite a ralse
from the S35 a month formerly paid
To the secretary of the association.
There's reason for the difference.
The agents going to have mans SIZE
lob in doing all that we've laid out Tor
him TO do. When he's through the
state of Wisconsin will be on the
movie map of the United States IN a
color that will reflect credit on its
motion picture exhibitors"
Protection for Picture Men.
Mr.. Rhode refused to disclose the
details of his project but limited that
it would guarantee exhibitors protec-
ton against the profteering now being
practiced by producers.
"Unless something can be devised to
safeguard movie managers against the
film companies" he insisted, motion
picture theatres will have to close
their doors. Picture prices are sky
rocketing so consistently that by the
time the operators pay for their films
most of their receipts are gone"
This, he said, in combination with
the high cost of music, was making
it next to impossible for small exhibit
ors to operate at a profit.
"To be sure" he added, "the man
ayers can add the increased cost to
the price of admission but they don't
want to do that. The movies are the
most democratic institution in the
United States and Wisconsin exhibitors
want to keep them that-an amuse-
ment that all of the people can afford
and enjoy"
The latter idea seems to be the basis
Of the movement by which Mr.. Rhode
means to make the Wisconsin assoeia-
tion leader among movie institutions
in all parts of the United States.
A Man of Vision.
Mr.. Rhodes aggressiveness along
new lines proves conclusively that the
Badger exhibitors made no mistake in
choosing him for their leader. For
years he has been known in the thea
trical circles of Wisconsin and Illinois
as a man of vision. He makes it his
business to keep just jump ahead of
the game. At present he sees that the
days of risque triangular plays and
slapstick comedy are numbered. He
is studying the innovations in the
game with view to seeing the next
trend and being the first to give Wis
consin movie lovers the latest and
greatest in the silent drama.
There's too much padding in pic
lures" he remarked recently. "The
new idea is less reel and more real
action. The result will be shorter pic
lures with more punch, half-hour elias
sizes as unforgettable as an o. Henry
story or statue by Rodin."

Lassies Start War
on Latch-Key Laws
Scotch Girls Object to Rules Which
Require Locked Doors After
Certain Hours.

Edinburgh, Scotland-Young women
students of the University of Edin-
burgh have revolted against what they
regard as Childish" restriction in the
use of latchkeys after the regulation
hour for closing the hall in which they
live.
Thirty-three students of Mason
Hall, one of the numerous hostels in
which women students reside, have
gone on record as refusing to obey
instructions regarding the use of night
keys. The girls assert that they are
being treated as children rather than
as young women well able to take care
of them selves.
The protest resulted in petition to
the University requesting a change in
the warden of the hall. The view of
the management is that too much IL
berty was given the girls under the
previous regime and that unless they
alter their petition, the girls must
leave the hall at the end of the SEES
sion.
The Pail Mall Gazette of London, in
commenting on the incident says:
with the merits Of the particular
case we are not concerned but there
is principle involved which sooner
or later will have to be decided. When
women won their right to compete
with men in the professions they prac-
tically won all the rights that apper-
tain to the requirement and practice
of those professions. Those who
imagine that young women will sub
nit to the exercise of authority which
would not be tolerated by their broth
ers, make a great mistake, mistake
which, if it is persisted in, will do
an immense amount of harm, for OPP
position to liberty is the surest fos-
terer of license"

GRAND CONCLAU
FOR MEN OF '98
United Spanish War Vet
Grams Will Discuss a
Camp for KenOsha.
DISTINGUISHED GUESTS

Memories of Santiago and Manila
Bay will be revived and relived in Ke-
nosha next Saturday evening when To-
cal men who marched away in '98 will
meet in the Pompeiian room at the
Elks' home to organize a Kenosha
camp of the United Spanish American
War Veterans. The muster-in will be
conducted by ]. W. Francis, 421 Col
Inns street and A. G. Cleary, 1872 Main
street, assisted by Major Evans and
j, F. Sugden of Racine.
Other distinguished guests at the
assembly will be the state and depart
mental commanders of the order, who
will come down from Milwaukee to
supervise the establishment of the Ke-
nosha camp.
Many Veterans Here.
It is believed that the local post of
the order can easily be made one of
the strongest units in the state if it is
given the proper support by the coun-
tvs veterans. These are said to be
numerous but unorganized as a result
Of strange lack of interest possibly
UuP 10 the 1dCI LndC pOSC-War aSSOCla-
tons have not been exploited by Ke-
noshans until the phenomenal success
of the local post of the Legion made
such movem ents very popular here. It
is argued that the men of '98 can be
and should be as powerful an influence
in civic affairs as the men of '61 and
the men of II.
Credentials Necessary.
Veterans of Kenosha and Racine,
who are planning to attend Saturday
evenings meeting are urged to bring
their discharge papers with them or
other proofs that they saw actual serv-
ice in the war which made Dewey
world famous and the United States a
world power
In exploiting the new movement its
promoters asserted today that Keno
sha was the only city of any size in the
state of Wisconsin which did not al
ready have a camp of the United Span
ish War Veterans. They said too that
state officials were anxious to have the
order represented here and were ready
to aid in every way possible in found
ing unit here.
