Wilkes Booth fired. The audience
has risen to its feet as the shot
is heard and cranes forward in a
semi-panic to gaze at the great
statesman whose head has fallen
back in the stage box and at the
assassin Booth who is leaping from
the box to the stage and whose
spur catches in the box drapery as
he jumps, causing him to break his
leg. This sort of historical realism
has never been achieved before. 1t

But in the film scene showing the

John H. Attick, 81 Years
Old, Only Charter Member
of Musical Organization

Mechanicsburg, Pa, July 80. =
While arranging for a festival to be
given by the Singer band on Satur-
day, August IL, some interesting bits
of history are brought to light con-
corning this musical organization,
one of the Oldest and best known in
the Cumberland valley, through con-
versation with John H. Attick, who is
aged 81 years and the only charter
member living. He played in the
band from the time he was Is years
old,and recalls the early days of the
organization when it was known as
the Keystone band, later as the Me-
chanicsburg band and fially, when
| David Singer was made leader, it was
named in his honor and has retained
the name of Singer Band ever since.
The band was organized in the year
1854, and during the Civil War, a
number of the mem bers left for the
army. Mr.. Attick joined the band in
the Seventh Regiment Pennsylvania
Reserves. In the year 1876, the band
played for the Granger Encamp-
ment at the Centennial in Philadel-
phia, where one of their number,
Roger Hefflefinger, was struck and
killed by lightning during a severe
storm, when he was closing the win
dows in the building where they were
playing. The band presented a fine
appearance, it is said, dressed in mob
by Continental suits. Many promi-
nent citizens have been connected
with the Singer band, which now has
q membership of thirtp-five.
