looks as II it could buy just twice as
much as 1t really can.

Frederick to engage in that time-honored

played wonderful music. They exploited
Wagner, and Lampe. and George NJ. Cohan,
and others of the truly great, and every
time a piece was through the instru-
and twenty large stems of beer would
be raised to those appreciative faces.
