The auditorium was crowded with music lovers, music teachers, music pupils and those whose only pretention to music consists in opening and closing the dors of music studios. All this divergent gentry of high and low degree put on their seven league boots and found themselves carried some of them for the first time to the little house where Helds band, for the past eight months, has been gathering silver laurels from the box office.

Next Thursday, Friday and Saturday Anna Held and her bunch of fluttering, flouncing femininity mark the first of the big four attractions (written in red ink) to appear on the stage of the Salt Lake theater. All the charter members of the Front Row club are putting their pennies in the toy banks as a prospective assurance of touching the footlights. In Mamselle Napoleon, Anna Held Is said to be making spectacular history. There is no crossing the Alps, of course, but the little wos man with the restless knocks down the bald heads like nine .pins. The scene of the play is laid In France naughty Paree and the part assumed by Miss Held is that of Napoleons favorite actress, Mile Mars. There are three acts, five tableux and forty-fou- r speaking and singing parts. Mon Dieu! Just think of it. The stage settings are the most elaborate ever attempted, it is claimed.

The Moonlight Serenade, played by the entire Symphony . club, was one of the gems of the evening. Helds band rendered three numbers on the program, The Strollers, William Tell and The Pilgrims The Chorus from Tannhauser. William Tell number brought out the musical capacity of the band. Conductor Held seemed determined to make the band surpass itself. He laid the musical birch over the backs of his forty men with more energy, more force, more fire than I thought was Every possible in his active baton. man responded to the enthusiasm of his leader. like a The wood-windflight of birds, led up to the grand swelling climaxes, while the comets, trombones and tubas were simply magnificent in their cyclonic riot of stormy brass. If William Tell had been the last number on the program everybody in the house would have gone cut shouting. As It was, Helds band made many a musical doubting Thomas somewhat shaky in his faith.
