CAMP OF SINGING SOLDIERS.
Men at Aver. Mass. Swing Over
the Hills to a Lifting Chorus.

While I waited in a hut at Camp
Devens (Ayer. Mass.J there came
what I thought at first to be the
sound of distant flies. But in a mo-
ment company OF men came march
ing snappily over the hill, and 1 saw
they were whistling. every bit as
snappily as they were marching, some
kind Of a fighting tune. 1t made me
want to march, too. even after an
endless and fruitless morning hike.
Another company came by in a mo-
ment. singing. The tune was Tramp.
Tramp. the Boys Are Marching" The
text was original. Many OF the texts
and also the tunes are original at
Camp -Devens. which is one of the
surest and best signs of the real place
that music is taking in the daily life
of the men. The whistling was glori-
Gus.
In some regiments prizes have been
offered for the best song. Among the
most popular songs are Where DO
We Go from Aver. Boys?" GLORY
to New England" lover There'-this
not composed at Aver. but by the dis
tinguished George Cohan-'Into No
Mans Land in France" Some of
these have original airs. Others are
texts set to airs already known Local
feeling plays a part in some of these
songs. A verse follows:
New England will be leading
When we're marching down the
Rhine.
New York will be the rear guard,
And we'll leave her far behind.
Wen conquer German cities
And we'll conquer Kaiser Bill
As. we go marching on.
Another. to a widely known air:
Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are
marching
The Kaiser's right there at the door,
II we had submarine
We'd biff him on the bean
And there wouldn't be a Kaiser any
more.

a. comes to the Belasco Theater in
the near future. Few plays have been
presented in recent years that have
made such an appeal as "Old Lady
81" from the pen Of Rachel Crothers,
who has ten successful plays to her
credit.
No play recently produced has re-
ceived such high Endorsement from the
press as was accorded this unusual
entertainment, which tells the story OF
a man taken into an old ladies' home

In view Of william Gillette's visit
to the Belasco Theater this week,
in, "a Successful Calamity" by Clare
Hummer, under the direction Of Ar
thur Hopkins, it is interesting to re-
call that the famous actor-author's
own play, Secret Service" was first
produced at the Broad Street Thea
ter, Philadelphia, twenty-five years
ago, to be precise. on May Is, 1886.
william Gillette was always quick
and ready writer, and he wrote
sherlock Holmes within three
weeks. He was at the time on tour
with Secret Service" and Charles
Frohman wired him at San Fran
cisco in 1899 that he was wanting
the play as soon as possible.
Gillette had the habit of taking
copious notes on anything he could
lay his hands on, but of rarely using
them, and Pinkerton. the well-known
detective, who went to see him in
Sherlock Holmes" said to the great
actor, "You take so many notes 1
