The Oriental Band of Almas Tenn
pie added another laurel to its wreath
OF achievements on the evening Of
October 2l when 1t played for the
George Washington Memorial Bazaar,
at Alexandra. Va. Never before has
the good old town across the Poto-
mac been entertained by such unu-
sual and fantastic musicians. Noble
Charles A. Stevens. director of the
band. had rehearsed and drilled his
men with all the strenuoslty of which
he is capable, and the result was a
perfect rendition of a varied pro.
gram of classical and Oriental music
which would 'sOothe the savage breast"
and bring ecstacy to the heart Of man.
The band Is still handicapped for
the want Of additional instruments
to equip its members fully. The in
struments have been ordered, but as
they have to come from Paris the
shipment is delayed owing to en-
bargoes placed upon all shipping from
abroad. The question of new uni
forms is practically settled and IT is
said the band will soon appear in
dazzling array and become a strong
rival of the most brilliant hued rain
bow ever beheld. If all goes well
the band. fully equipped and newly
uniformed, will give good account OF
itself at the November Ceremonial Of
Almas Temple.
