Show SOUSA'S Oil GIVEN WARM WELCOME AT THE TABERNACLE (By Godfrey Matthews) Without doubt a very much larger building than than the Ogden tabernacle taberna-cle was needed last night for !he audi ence waiting and ready to hear Snusa and his band. As it was, however, the building was crowded to more than Its capacity and hearers sat crowded In seats for which they pal I t good figure, fig-ure, forgot their physical discomfort and enthusiastically listened to a pro gram of popular music which delighted delight-ed them In the extreme. Every piece on the program was encored once, and Miss Florence Hardmann, the violin soloist, was encored twice, so keenh were her renditions enjoyed by the people. Opening with the overture "Mig-non," "Mig-non," Lieutenant Sousa splendidly introduced in-troduced his great aggregation to tin-audience, tin-audience, and, as Ihough on piece of classical music were enough to Ijsi for a long time, immediately went into a series of selections, largely his own compositions in which the won derful blending of many instruments, am) the usage of man curlou effects, such as whistles, and rat'lc.i and s.tn 1 paper was heard to great effect. A selection in three part.? entitled "Impression? at the Movies," and sub divided into a "A Jazz Band in Ac-1 tion. "The Craft Villain nrd Ihe Tirn-1 id Maid." and "Balance and Swini; Partners," w-as very thoroughly enjoyed en-joyed and loudly apnlavidd. although for our own part, rtie titles signified nothing, but the melody pleased great i ly. Miss Mary Baker. BOloist to the aggregation', ag-gregation', sang "Moonligh.1 and Starlight" Star-light" by Hallett Gilbert nnd DBnlfest-ed DBnlfest-ed the possession of b delicate lyrical sporano voice which won her an en Core to which she responded with the solo, ' Rnbin, Robin. Sins Mc a Song" Dedicated to Mrs Theodore Roosevelt Roose-velt and composed in honor of 'he American soldiers, sailors and marines ma-rines who laid their lives down a sacrifice for human liberty in th great war. the composition, "Th" Gobi-en Gobi-en Star" by Sousa was well 'cindered. As an encore the lively 'Sabres and Spurs," by the same composer, was given. An excerpt, from Rossini's "Stabat ' Mater' was next rendered by the tab ernacle choir and the hand under the b.Hon of Joseph M. Ballantyne. The solo part was sting by Mrs Myrtle Hlg-J ley, who came to ihe rescue at the last moment. It was evidently understood that Miss Baker would sing the solo j part, but that lady, not having under-j stood this requirement, the well krown Ogden soloist shouldered the burden, and did well in a real emergency. The work of the choir was a surpassingly fine achievement on which every member mem-ber and the conductor are to be heartily heart-ily congratulated. To introduce ihe band to the audience audi-ence after the interval a novel musical "Stunt" was performed The plnerS gathered one by one, and two by two and by three and three in a composi- lion entitled "Showing Off Before' Company," which was richly humorous and greatly enjoyed and which served; the purpose of acquainting ihe audience audi-ence more intimately with the man , different pieces that go to make up, BUCfa a band as Sousa's 16.
