Ban'cll, known throughout the musical world as one of the most successful com posers for the saxophone, and a perfoimer on that instrument , of extraordinary ability. His ■ ■ compositions, solos ensembles, > instruction material, etc., are re cognized as instruction, and in use wherever the saxophone is known and played. Mr. Barrol* Ji has earned a national reputation as Director of the famous Ludwig Saxophone Band, a St. Louis or ganization of fifty instrument. He is aceompnaied by Mrs. Bar roll also nationally known among the greatest women saxophonists and by two other assisting ar tists. The work of this company is highly artistic throughout. Its programs are novel, consisting cf saxophone ensembles, duets and solos, vocal numbers, and read ings. As an interesting diverti sement, Mr. Barroll will introd uce original and exclusive violin trick- work, also the “flex-o-tone“ a unique instrument somewhat resembling a “fly swatter”, but capable of producing beautiful effects in the hands of an artist / like Mr Barroll. Those who attend the Chau tauqua are certain of a rare treat when thej see and meet this friendly company of sincere mu sicians. Those who are especially interested in the saxophone are > invited to discuss the instrument or their problems with Mr. Bar roll, for as Editor of the Saxo phone Department of Jacobs’ Orchestra-Band Monthly, he is undoubtedly the greatest Ameri can authority on this instrument CANCELLATION OF MORTGAGES, ETC. The attention of the public is called to the necessity of can celling all mortgages, notes, etc., that been paid and are on record in the office of the register of deeds.
