Gilbert Fox. actor. To the &C.
compartment, of a full band and as

dents March, was composed by
Franklin Fyles. leader Of the orches-
ira of the John Street Theater. New
York in 1889 and was dedicated by
him to President George Wishing
and played for the first time by the
theater orchestra on the night Presl-
dent Washington attended, the John
Street Theater.

Gilbert Fox was "Hail Columbia.
and the words and music OF this song
and all other Songs That Never
Grow Old" are to be found in The
