Concert by French Band Proves Musical Event For Richmond

The appearance of the French army! band in the Coliseum Thursday afternoon and evening: In one of the most remarkable and beautiful concerts .ev-1 ,r presented in Richmond, made not only a lasting Impression on the 3.000 people who heard it. but heightened the musical standard of the city.v The French band, composed as it is of gifted artists, and men who have fought well, played with, a soul and feeling which could not possibly be felt by an ordinary group, of men. A charming little suite, by Leo Dellbes, entitled "Sylvia" opened the evening's performance. "The Hunting Girls," first of the suite, was played with splendid effect, and received Tiearty applause. Then came a "Slow ("Waltz." given with dainty interpretation remarkable for a band. "Pizzicati." beautifully given, displayed remarkable work in the bassoon section; sand the last of the suite, "Bacchus ! Cortege," gave, the, brasses full sway. '. The remarkable scope of the oboe, so peldom demonstrated, was proved with skill by M. Speyer last evening in a ."Concertino for the Oboe." bv finn.

jhaut. M. Speyer. a graduate of the

fans Conservatory of MubIc, as are the other soloists of the band, trilled, glided, and scaled the helehts ami

depths of the instrument's possibilities and made his oboe ring with rhythm almost worthy of the violin. M. H. L. LeRoy , completely captivated his audience in his afternoon and evening performances with brilliant clarinefte rendition. In the aft'ernoon M. LeRoy " gave a beautiful (Messager number "Les Deux Pigeons" 'and was encored . with enthusiasm. He displayed remarkable techniaue

and tone. The . interpretation of

Home rieces also proved remarkable skill. In the evenincr he nlaved

with M. Georges True, "Tonabe," by

vveoer, ana " vivace" by M. Dupie as an encore. i The solo work of two artists. . M. I Georges True, piano; and M. Alexander Debruille, violin, who played in Ithe timpani section of the band, was

iinost favored by the audience. It was evident when M. True accompanied DeBruille in "Because," by O. Faure. I that the auditors were dividing their attention between the soloist and his accompanist, although DeBruille showed remarkable skill. He also played "Serenade," by Drdla in which his technique, bis tones, and harmonics were without criticism. In the afternoon the "Cavatine," a brilliant number of C. Cut was presented. The audience greeted M. True in two solo numbers. Faurl's Barcarole, end Chopin's difficult, and stirring Folonaise with prolonged applause and he returned after many-profuse-bows to, play a delightful little number by Debussy a "Prelude."; The audience was not satisfied over them, and asked for more. The pianist showed complete control and magnificent expression. He is very young for a professional pianist of such ability. A "Persian Dance," a colorful and charming number by Quiraud was interpreted .beautifully by the band immediately following intermission, before "Franco-American Rhapsody" by (Jabriel, Paris band leader, was played. The band presented as their" final numbers Prelude et Entractes from

Carmen with which the audience was delighted, especially when familiar strains came out to them; and two French Military Matches "Marche Lorraine" by L. Ganne, and "Sambre et

Meuse," by Rauskl-Planquette. Both the latter were filled with vigor and spirit typical of the French so that the audience could feel the advance

of armies and thrill of battle. Two encores were given to military march

es, and the auditors rose and shouted as the strains of "Over There" broke out. Special praise was given the interpretative direction of Lieut. Roger Vlllate, who took the place of Captain Pares, the regular leader. Lieutenant Villate took his place ably and with Judgment and his work was worthy of admiration.

The men named are Secretary of Labor Wilson, Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor. . An effort will be made to secure one of these men to make an address here. The trouble at Louck & Hill company was discussed at length. Several communications were read and among them was a communication from Pennsylvania asking that the labor men in Richmond stop smoking a cigar that not union made.

Valier Comniumty Flour is plainly better than ordinary flour, as your first baking with it will show. War regulations do not limit the quality of the flour milled. The quality depend upon the grade of wheat used and the way it is milled. Valier'a Community Flour ia the highest quality of white flour, because it ia made from premium-pnee wheat and nulled by that alow, careful, silk-sifting method made famous by the Valier Mills. The price of Valier's Community Flour is regulated by the Government. It is snore economical than cheap flour, because it makes more successful bakinz and more baking per sack.
