CONCERT
SUCCESSFUL ONE
Moline Lodge Introduces New Mu-
steal Organization in Excel
lent Program.

Band of Moline lodge, No. 556,
Elks, established itself among tri-
city band organizations last night
when it appeared in concert with
the Silvis shops Glee club in the
Augustana gymnasium. Tri-city
friends of the organizations were
cordial in their reception of the
two musical groups and their de-
mand for encores extended the pro-
gram.
The program opened with the
Goble number, "Elks On Parade.
The Schubert overture, Rosa
munde". followed, after which
James E Miller, trombone soloist,
played "Colimba Polka" by Liberti.
This was beautifully given and he
was recalled for two encores, the
second, Annie Laurie, calling
forth a storm of applause. Valse
suite, "Wilhelmina" by ]. T. Hall,
brought the first part of the pro-
gram to a close and the band re-
turned after the Glee club numbers
to give Echoes, by Tobana, a col
lection of operate selections which
the entire program
Cathedral Chimes" and Bells
of St. Mary's, both with chime eff
fects by Charles Paarman, were
well given and the encore which
followed these. a march, written by
Bert Woodyatt of the Bio theatre
20 years ago, was an accomplish
ment indeed, for the band played
it by request for the first time at
this time. The Don Quixote"
suite in four parts was magnificent,
although it's beauty was marred
somewhat by a few persons in the
audience who were eager to leave
a bit ahead of the others. The first
strains of THE Star Spangled Ban
ner" called all to their feet and
the program was brought to an in
spring close with the band, Glee
club and audience joining in the
finale.
The work of the band reflected
credit on the director, w. E. West,
whose unfailing efforts have gone
long way in making the band the
success that it is. The program
combined just the right amount of
classical and popular music.
The Silvis Glee club. as always,
made a tremendous hit and the
club numbers and solo parts were
encored repeatedly. The club show
ed marked improvement to be no
ticed in the unaccompanied num-
bers which were given in perfect
pitch. F.. E. Miller, tenor, and I.
G. Morgan, baritone, were splen-
did in their solo numbers.
