San Francisco dramatic review (1899)

May 5, 1900 Sousa Will Travel On April 25th Sousa and his band of sixty-three sailed for Paris, there to inaugurate a European concert tour, which will continue till late in October. They are to play first at the Paris Exposition, then in Germany. They return to Paris to officiate at the celebration of the Fourth of July, when the band will play Sousa's new march, composed for the occasion, and will then make a tour of Holland and Belgium. Upon returning to America late in October, Sousa will start upon the longest and largest American tour he has ever made. He will play the entire continent, including Canada, Mexico and Cuba, covering a total distance of 32,000 miles. * ^ PROFESSIONAL CARDS # « Record Breaking. Chicago patrons of the histrionic art paid $100,000 to attend the performances by Henry Irving, Ellen Terry and the London Lyceum company during the four weeks they were in that city while making their present tour of the country. The last performance was given April 28, at Powers' Theatre with " The Merchant of Venice" as the bill, and the house was crowded to the doors. People were turned away before 8 o'clock. Manager Powers stated that it was the largest audience in the history of the theatre. Convention of Murray s. There is an exceptional gathering of Murrays in San Francisco just now — and all active in theatricals. First of all J. Duke Murray drops in from Butte, whither he had piloted Paderewski; then Frank Murray comes up from Los Angeles, preceded a few days by George Murray. Duke began theatrical life in Chicago as call boy; Frank was a newspaper man in York State before Frank Daniels enticed him away, and George comes from an old circus family — second nature for him to be in the profession. "Pianos That Get III "Sometimes a piano gets ill," said an expert tuner not long ago. "This changeable weather seems to give them cold. Pianos, you know, have feelings the same as anybody. Didn't you know that? Well, they have. This piano I have just doctored was not so much out of tune as it was sick — run down. It had caught cold from change of temperature. There has been a sort of epidemic lately, and ever so many pianos have had to take treatment. There are two other complaints common with pianos; one is a lack of exercise and the other is overwork."
