COMPOSERS
In Shrine Band---Hlgh Pythlan
Its Drum Major

Two interesting members of Alad-
din Temple Shrine band of Columbus,
which inaugurates the first of SER
les of out-of-town concerts at the
high school auditorium Tuesday night,
February 1, for the benefit of the
high school library fund, are from
bonists Raymond Zirkel and Earl
Mccullough. Noble Zirkel is cashier
of Columbus bank, while Noble Nc
Cullough is a professional musician.
Between them, they concocted a
musical comedy, "Aladdin's Lamp"
which was first presented at the cere-
monial session of the Shrine on May
1, 1915, and which made such tre-
mendous hit that it has had five sub
sequent performances. Mt. Vernon
people who attended The dedication
of the Masonic temple at Newark last
June and witnessed "Aladdin's Lamp
at the Warden theatre will remember
it's splendid music and lyrics.
Mobiles Zirkel and Mccullough are
again collaborating and promise a
musical production for this springs
ceremonial on April 28 of an equally
high character and with personages
therein well known in towns outside
of Columbus who have members in
Aladdin. zirkel is responsible for the
book and lyrics, while Mccullough is
the composer.
The drum-major of the band
George L. Behrens, was recently
elected chancellor-commander OF the
Knights of Pythias of Ohio and will
probably attract many of his Pythian
friends in this city to the concert
Tuesday evening.
The tickets are selling rapidly and
