RIALTO-Oreste Vessella, Famous
Band Director, and Human
Hearts,"

Signor Oreste Eessella, the famous
Italian director of orchestral and
band organizations. and also noted as
composer held the crowds which
filled the Rialto Theater last night in
respectful silence. This may well be
considered a compliment to an artists
skill as director, for the audiences
who realize the Importance of the mu-
sical part of a program sufficiently to
give it courteous attention are few
and far between. Real music lovers
are too often driven to the limits of
nervous irritation by the volume of
sibilant gossipinC that accompanies
this part OF the program.
Signor Vessella filings his thick hair
about with much the same abandon
evinced by Creatore. but Nessella's
locks being clipped nearer the con-
ventional length the effect is not quite
so intense. His wonderful energy
and concentration. however. are great
factors in his success. Signor EeS-
sella's delicate shading of the soft
phases of the compositions and bold
attack in the dramatic motifs are
distinctly his own. The most preten-
tious of the compositions played un-
der his direction last night was Ros-
sini's "Semiramide." which took an
auditor. who had heard Vessella's s
