Goodland has always been the re-

master, whose Peerless Concert band
combines the worlds leading musicians.
Sousa has for some time been in search
of a prodigy solo cornetist with ability
to render the difficult productions for
which his band is famous, and the OBJ
jeCt of his search was found in the per-
son Of George Maxwell, the dimunitive
solo cornetist of the GoOdland Military
band. George is to meet SOusa at
Omaha, Neb., Saturday when he will be
put through his PAGES subject to being
accepted.
George is a natural musician and too
good performer to stop at anything
short of professionalism. Those who
know good music believe that George
will be equal to the occasion and ssure
of being offered a position.
