Dibdin for His Work in Popu-

Charles Dibdin did more TO gain re-

and to him belongs the credit of typi-
flying the British sailor as a being of
reckless courage, generosity and sim
ple-heartedness. He sang his patriotic
songs with a fervor which was con-
tagiOus and his notes were caught up
and repeated throughout the land. eS-
pecially those which referred TO Adj
miral Nelson. For this the government
gave him pension of 600 a year.
He was paralyzed about year before
his death, which occurred July %,
1914. The great mass of his songs,
however, are now forgotten. although
some OF his operas still infrequently
are heard, and his melody and sweet
ness are excelled by few. Dibdin
wrote dozen novels, history OF the
stage and an autobiography. He was

THE BESrf CONCERT OF THE
SEASON

By far the best band concert ar
ranged by our band concert committee
this season, was given at our city park
last Tuesday evening by the Holton
Band of Elkhorn, Wis.
Owing to mixup in time the band ar
rived a little late via truck and auto
mobile, but the evening seemed too
short, however, for this band made all
Of us forget the flight of time with its
beautiful music.
The program was wisely chosen and
such soul stirring pieces as the "Bo-
hemian Girl" Mr.. Burch's cornet solo
in Rock of Ages" the coTnet and eu-
phonium duet by Messrs. Holton and
Iuhonen, "The Death Of Custer With
Dts vivid portrayal Of Clusters last
fight, "rhe Isle OF Dreams" one Of
Chauncey Olcott's most successful
plays and the strains of Sousa's great
est march, "Stars and Stripes For
ever" will be remembered by our peo-
PIE for long time The Holton Band
certainly made Wauwatosa feel that
band concerts are a necessity.
Although the night was chilly and
damp, one Of the largest crowds ever
attending a band concert here was
out
The drug stores as usual did a rush
ing business with ice cream cones.
The band concert committee advises
that owing to the fact that the band
that they hoped to announce for the
concert next Monday night could not
be secured, it was decided to hold the
next concert on Monday evening, Aug
ust Is. This concert will be given in
honor of the American Legion and the
Alonzo Cudworth band, composed en-
tirely Of American Legion men will
furnish the music. This no doubt will
prove very entertaining evening so
bear the date in mind.
