coma theater with his band to-
night.
You don't have to tear your
hair to be a bandmaster.
Maybe some people do, but 1t
isn't absolutely necessary.
John Philip Sousa, king of
bandmasters, proved that yester-
day.
While Signor Ferullo at the
Stadium kept a s'~s clear about
six feet in diameuer, to jump
around in, Sousa at the Tacoma
called for high and low and loud
and soft by just gesture of fin
ger. When he got real excited he
used as much as forearm.
Sousa, just returned from an
Australian tour, brought a popular
program with him. He had music
for the people who know all about
music, and music for the people
who just like it. There were
numbers from Grieg and Sousa' &
own Manhattan Beach and Stal
Spangled Stars and Stripes and
the ever popular Gel Captain"
The Grieg stuff made a big hi
with the few highbrow audience
but the marches set everybody tc
clapping hands and keeping time
with their toes.
Sousa will be at the Tacoma
again tonight. Ferullo concluded
his series yesterday.

Brandywine firemen by the Friendship
firemen upon their return home Then
he told some early history of clock

of the introduction of the wooden COG
