SCRIBE CHARMED BY BAND MUSIC
(continued from page one)
all this, all these factors combined to make a picture that thrilled my heart.
And the music—it did charm. I was actually surprised at the high-class band music that was rendered. Not one of the pieces selected to be played "jarred" my nerves. (You know, I'm so easily disturbed by jazzy stuff.) The excellent technique of rendition had much to do with the harmony of the playing. The music was good, very good. There were times when I was not conscious of my surroundings, when I was wafted on clouds of harmony and delight, it seemed. When a first-night "country-town" band concert can so affect one who has been thrilled by the big international bands, it is saying a whole lot.
It will be remembered I said I didn't intend to go. Now, I'm glad I went, because I did hear a superb selection of band concert music. The absence of jazz was certainly gratifying.
The air was clear and clean. The acoustics were good. (Perhaps you didn't know that out-door band concerts are often marred because the "structural formation" in the atmosphere at a given time and a given place are not always conducive to harmonious rendition of sound. It's so just the same.)
The ideal location, the effervescent joy of the settings, the natural assistance given by nature in acoustics, and the unusual technique of music played, made a very enjoyable evening for me. (And I believe I voice the opinion of hundreds of others.)
The charm of setting certainly has a lot to do with the success and satisfaction of an affair like the one under discussion. The pleasantness of the background, the touch of nature
tal trot piece that has been before the public for some time. This number being a "trot," it might have been too jazzy for me, but Tozier's baton evidently charmed away any jazzy tendencies that it might have had. Am pleased to say my sensibilities were not "jarred," because the piece was so played by the band that it was not offensive.
4. "Swiss Boy." A clarinet duet by L. M. Tozier and C. E. Tozier (sons of the bandmaster), that was exceedingly delightful. The band that accompanied these two excellent young musicians in the rendition of the number did excellent work. I could not detect any discord. (In fact, I wasn't in any mood to do so—I was so charmed by the playing of these two boys that anything but bliss was foreign to my soul at the time.) I only wish they had responded to the deserved applause with an encore. However, no encore having been the dictum of the master, the audience had to smack its musical lips on a morsel of effervescent harmony.
5. "From the West." This number was a march, embodying the spirit of the west that was mighty good.
6. "You're a Million Miles from Nowhere, When You're One Little Mile from Home." This number is a now popular waltz piece that "took."
7. "Days of Old." This number was a medley of folk songs that was very entertaining, especially when those good old tunes one use to know vitalized the already sweetened atmosphere.
8. "Hand in Hand Again." A vocal solo by Leslie Abbott, who plays the snare drum in the band. He was accompanied by the band, but he only sang one verse and a chorus. Next time I hope Tozier's baton will "ba" him, the result being a "full" song.

The ideal location, the effervescent joy of the settings, the natural assistance given by nature in acoustics, and the unusual technique of music played, made a very enjoyable evening for me. (And I believe I voice the opinion of hundreds of others.)
The charm of setting certainly has a lot to do with the success and satisfaction of an affair like the one under discussion. The pleasantness of the background, the touch of nature in the form of the giant palm tree, the natty uniforms, the clear atmospheric conditions, all were psychological factors that entered into the harmonious production of this musical event.
A touch of quaintness was afforded in the form of a large, aged, overall Mexican who was riveted to one spot beside an auto all during the evening. I studied this character. I saw by his devoted attention that his soul deep within that rather untidy exterior was drinking in the nectar of music. I was glad for this man's sake that everything was as beautiful as it was.
I suppose, if I wandered about, I would have observed more individual incidents of this nature, but, I too could not move. The spell of the delight to the eye and to the ear held me joyously enraptured to one spot.
I was so well satisfied at the close of the concert that I would not have regretted if I had paid one dollar for the joy of having listened to the splendid band music program.
On the opening night of the Chautauqua the attraction was disturbed by the strains of the band practicing across the street. Also on the third night. At that time I did not think the Anaheim band amounted to much. I'm glad Thursday night's performance changed my opinion.
The magnificent showing of the Anaheim Elks Band is due in a large note, to its big-little leader, Earl Briggs Tozier. Tozier is a little fellow, but he and his band made a big showing Thursday. When I saw him perched upon a Heinze Baked Beans box I was reminded of John Phillip Sousa. Sousa is a little fellow in stature, too. He is also groomed to pose as a professional. Tozier did not once face the assembled audience in the reserved section (automobiles) and make one of the John Phillip Sousa professional bows. It is one of those little touches of public enjoyment that I
8. "Hand in Hand Again." A vocal solo by Leslie Abbott, who plays the snare drum in the band. He was accompanied by the band, but he only sang one verse and a chorus. Next time I hope Tozier's baton will "bat" him, the result being a "full" song.
9. "Rememberance Polka." A cornet solo by Frank Tauch. My, but it was good. Recompiled by the band and the ban(d)ton, he rendered his number with superb skill. He deserved the applause that was generously given. The next time I hope he will reciprocate with an encore. Mr. Tauch use to be a former leader of the local band. When he arose to his feet, he fidgeted around, got his hat off, kicked his chair behind him (Satan), and was almost late in getting his instrument to his lips when the band had reached his "cue note." If he pulled off a stunt like that in Creatore's band, the Italian leader would have been in "hysterics." A professional, "don't ya know," would have gracefully risen to his feet, majestically rest his cornet on his arm, and put on one of those far-away dreamy stares. Yep, I've watched them all.
10. "Sambo's Wedding." This number is known as the Nigger audacious type of music. The band was audacious, and dashingly "put the number over" across Broadway.
11. "Hawaiian Lullaby." I have heard Hawaiians in their native land play their kind of songs on their native instruments; I have heard military bands in Honolulu play Hawaiian tunes, also. But, the Anaheim Elks Band need not worry, it is also able to deliver that tantalizing tingling entrance.
12. "The Star-Spangled Banner." I knew this number was coming a few seconds before it came, because the leader removed his hat some time before the band was ready to play the piece. For a seemingly-long time after the bandmen removed their nifty white bonnets they arose in unmilitary fashion and rendered "The Star-Spangled Banner" as good as any aggregation of local musicians I ever heard. A touch of Sousa's professionalism here would have been present if the leader and all the bandmen had a medley of folk songs that was very entertaining, especially when those good old tunes one use to know vitalized the already sweetened atmosphere.

Briggs Tozier. Tozier is a little fellow, but he and his band made a big showing Thursday. When I saw him perched upon a Heinze Baked Beans box I was reminded of John Phillip Sousa. Sousa is a little fellow in stature, too. He is also groomed to pose as a professional. Tozier did not once face the assembled audience in the reserved section (automobiles) and make one of the John Phillip Sousa professional bows. It is one of those little touches of public appearing that I missed. However, Band Leader Tozier did not keep us waiting between pieces. When the band did finally get started, it continued on without a hitch or an unnecessarily long rest between numbers. Perhaps that was the reason why Tozier wouldn't right about face and how when the meritouous applause was given. John Phillip would have descended from his carpeted platform, make a few steps forward and perform one of his ever gracious Louis XIV bows. However, next time, maybe, the band will begin at scheduled time, thus permitting Bandmaster Tozier time enough after each piece to "pull off" this little professional stunt. Tozier, nevertheless, is due a whole lot of commendation for "whipping" into unionism of perfection his fine aggregation of musicians.
The program as printed last week in the papers was not exactly adhered to. The program as rendered was as follows:
1. "Oh! By Jingo!" Opening piece. A short, quick, catchy prelude, well played.
2. "Post and Peasant." An overture that was a real, delightful, tuneful, soft number.
3. "Dardanella." A popular Oriental
The names of the members of the Anaheim Elks Band, and the instruments played, are as follows: Ansterisk (*) after a name indicates that that person was not present last Thursday night. At present, there are twenty-three men in the aggregation. Here is the roster:

A. E. Dutton, cornet.
Fred Wolf, cqrnet.
Walter Crowther, horn.
H. A. Schindler, horn.
The leader removed his hat some time before the band was ready to play the piece. For a seemingly-long time after the bandmen removed their nifty white bonnets they arose in unmilitary fashion and rendered "The Star-Spangled Banner" as good as any aggregation of local musicians I ever heard. A touch of Sousa's professionism here would have been present if the leader and all the bandmen had removed their caps at one and the same time, and then all stood up at one and the same time. In military fashion, Sousa knows how Tozier and his band can know how by practice. Concord of acting (action) can be acquired as well as "concord of sweet sounds."
If the character last Thursday met what the band seems to me a cedar door concert certs during the lightful. At an Sunday afternoon auditorium, during about an hour splendid. Music ought to be willing cents per admission be willing. Occasion of nearby town like the preach Merely an idea.

A few weeks back I attended the opening concert of Fullerton's band. In looking back on that event, using last Thursday night's event as a comparison, I must say that Anaheim is far ahead of Fullerton in the line of aggregation, technique of music, appearance of players, and setting for the band. When I saw the Fullerton band at that opening night they were placed on the sidewalk (no platform then), no uniforms, and the music did not charm me as Anaheim's band did. At that time I said to myself: "Why don't Anaheim hurry up and start her open air concert season? Why let Fullerton be ahead?" The laugh is on me. Anaheim may have been behind Fullerton in the date of opening, but in no other respect. The thoroughness of the event in every respect of Anaheims opening night was worth waiting for.
In connection with last Thursday night's event there are three constructive criticisms I would like to make, as follows:
When the band started to play "The Star-Spangled Banner" I looked up to the flagless flagpole. This pole was close to the band stand and its color of white fitted in nicely with the uniforms of the musicians. The rays of light gave a lustre to the white paint that was pleasing. All that was lacking to make the event impressive in this respect was the flag. If a flag had been caressing the "concord of sweet Anaheim is interested in good music as well as the Elks lodge.
The program for tonight's event is as follows, and commences at 8 o'clock SHARP:
1. March — "Battleship Connecticut"—Fulton.
2. Overture—"Hungarian Comedy" (Ungarische Lustspiel)—Keler-Bela.
3. Clarinet Solo—Air Varie on "William Tell"—Rossini. Played by L. M. Tozler of the Anaheim Elks Band.
4. March — "Comedy Tom"—Gus King. (Dedicated to Tom Brown, comedian, with the Six Brown Brothers.)
5. Fantasie on "My Old Kentucky Home"—Dalbey. (Dedicated to Iowa State Band.)
6. Baritone Solo—"Le Jeune Virtuoso"—Carlton. Played by John Weaver of the Anaheim Elks Band.
7. Fox Trot—"Rose of Washington Square"—Hanley. (From Ziegfeld's Midnight Frolics.)
8. "The Star-Spangled Banner." Remain standing in the same spot until the last note is played.

When the band started to play "The Star-Spangled Banner" I looked up to the flagless flagpole. This pole was close to the band stand and its color of white fitted in nicely with the uniforms of the musicians. The rays of light gave a lustre to the white paint that was pleasing. All that was lacking to make the event impressive in this respect was the flag. If a flag had been caressing the "concord of sweet sounds" in the atmosphere, and a flood light directed on the flag, a touch of love of country would have been nicely enthroned.
My main criticism is of the discord produced by autoists sounding their discordant horns. That is one thing I don't grasp at a band concert. We listen to a glorious medley of harmonious sounds, only to have it all dug out of one's system by a halabaloo of automobile discordant horns. I would like to make the suggestion to band leaders that they request autoists to kindly refrain from sounding their automobile horns as such sounds as these horns make into the harmony produced by a band a discordant note. A request of this kind ought to be printed on every printed band program.
The sound of horns always remind me of stamping one's feet on the floor inside of a building at some musical function. It is considered bad taste and vulgar to stamp on the floor with ones' feet in order to register an appreciation of number. Stamping of feet was laways considered a lazy way of applauding. So is the sounding of automobile horns a lazy way of applauding. There is nothing more exhibiting, nothing more encouraging to an artist than the sounds produced by a concord of human hand clapping.
If you really and truly appreciate an artist's efforts refrain from sounding your automobile horn, and applaud with your hands. It is not so lazy a method, and is more polite, as well as not a discord producer. Please?
The Broadway school lot would be a better place to hold band concerts, because it would permit those folks who have not automobiles in which to comfortably sit, a place to sit on the lawn (if one will be provided), or on seats (if they will be provided).

The Broadway school lot would be a better place to hold band concerts, because it would permit those folks who have not automobiles in which to comfortably sit, a place to sit on the lawn (if one will be provided), or on seats (if they will be provided). In Grant park, Chicago, folding chair seats by the thousands are provided by the "I Will" government of Chicago for the thousands of people who enjoy the music of Chicago's famous municipal band o'summer evenings. There isn't enough of lawn space on the library grounds to permit the "common folks" a decent consideration. The Broadway school grounds, facing Broadway, COULD be made to serve band concert purposes if the authorities have a willingness to do.
If the character of music delivered last Thursday night is a criterion of what the band can always deliver it seems to me a continuance of the outdoor band concerts during the winter would be delightful. At an off-hour, like 4 o'clock Sunday afternoons in the high school auditorium, during the winter, for about an hour and a half, would be splendid. Music lovers of Anaheim ought to be willing to pay twenty-five cents per admission. I know I would be willing. Occasionally, an exchange of nearby town bands could be made, like the preachers exchange pulpits. Merely an idea.
In view of the fact that a band advertises a city, it seems to me the name of our splendid organization ought to be "The Anaheim Elks Municipal Band." Get the word "municipal" in the name somewhere, so that when the band goes avisiting, the thought will be conveyed that the city government of

TRABUCO CANYON IS NOW POPULAR RESORT
Fifty Applications for Cabin Sites Have Been Filed
The new road into Trabuco canyon has made that canyon a popular place for people seeking outings. No less than fifty automobiles every Sunday find their way into the Trabuco. Permits for the erection of six cabins have been issued by the forest reserve officials, and many other applications have been acted upon.
Assistant Forest Supervisor Stephenson of El Toro said that the Trabuco has jumped into popularity with autoists. It has always been a favorite canyon for those who knew it, but the poor condition of the road until recently has kept automobile owners from driving there often.
A few weeks ago a road built with funds furnished half by the county and half by the forest service was finished, and since then the canyon has been visited regularly every week by dozens of auto parties.
Thirty-three cabin sites have been set apart in the canyon by the forest officials.
"About fifty applications have been filed from people asking for cabin sites," said Assistant Forest Supervisor Stephenson. "Supervisor Dolden at San Diego notified the thirty-three whose applications were filed first that they could have their permits upon perfecting the application by designating which lots were preferred, and by securing the permits from my office. So far six have taken out per-

"The forest service is very anxious that the public have every opportunity for recreational use of the forest areas, and we are very glad to see that there are so many people finding Trabuco canyon agreeable to their tastes. Personally, I believe the Trabuco is one of the prettiest canyons in Southern California.
"There is just one matter, however, that I want to call to the attention of the people who go into the Trabuco for camping and for picnics. That is, they must do their share toward keeping the camp grounds clean and in a sanitary condition. People must not leave papers scattered about. They must not throw watermelon rinds and other refuse around. Seven garbage pits have been dug in the camp grounds section for receiving refuse.
"The person who leaves refuse on the ground endangers the health of others who come after. Odors will soon arise and make the place disagreeable, if refuse is not properly taken care of. In order to protect those who come after the forest service proposes to see to it that the camp grounds are kept clean and sanitary. Offenders may have to be arrested, and that very soon."
Stephenson said that the largest share of the people who are going into the Trabuco are Orange county folks.

The democratic St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that in the republican plank on the league of nations, "somebody is getting cheated," and from the disappointed way in which the democratic editors talk about it, we believe they are the fellows that have been hornswoggled.
Newspapermen know that a man who can take an old down and out newspaper and turn it into a big, thriving, prosperous, influential publication, is just the fellow to take hold of a ruh-down government after eight years of Wilsonism, and make a going concern of it.
The tragedy at Chicago, from Mr. Wilson's point of view, was that the republican party refused to split itself again to make a democratic victory possible.
There are those, of course, who think no one could possibly be considered a "friend of labor" who ever created an employment-giving enterprise or gave a man a job. Only the professional wind-jammer in their opinion, could possibly be considered "labor's" friend.
A little son of Otto Dargatz of the Olive road, while playing in the street Sunday was run down by an auto and seriously injured. Both arms were broken and he was severely brusied about the head and body. He was brought to the sanitarium for treatment. Lawrence Cohen and J. Muzzall of Fullerton were in the machine that struck him.
