State Asylum Has Fine Band.

Morris Plains State Hospital for the
Insane rejoices in a crack musical
organization. The band at the hos
pital, under the capable leadership of
Professor George P. Grailey, has de-
veloped into one of the best musical
organizations to be found in the State.
DR.. Britton D. Evans, medical direc-
tor of the hospital, believes in pro-
viding all possible means for keeping
the minds of his patients from their
troubles, and music stands high, in
his opinion, as a means to this end.
Professor Grailey has been with the
hospital for years as an attendant
and as director of music.
This year the hospital was particu-
larly fortunate in securing for its
band many of the musicians left
stranded here by the enforced lying
up of the North German Lloyd
liners. These men, who played in
the bands of the steamships, have
secured positions as employees at the
hospital, and are playing in the hos
pital band. The organization has
played several times in Morristown
this season through the k1ndneSS OF
DR.. Evans and the efforts of the local
lodge of H~eptasophs, and the concerts
have been greatly enjoyed by throngs
numbering thousands of people.
Baseball is another diversion at the
hospital and the team las been play
ing Wednesdays and Saturdays. The
band plays a program before the ball
game and during it's innings. For
merly the band occupied seats in the
grandstand, but a new stand has been
erected under the supervision OF
Warden Orlando M. Bowen that pro-
vides better facilities to the musicians
and also gives the patients and others
in the grandstand and nearby a better
opportunity of enjoying the music.
The stand is of concrete with a wood
canopy.
