Camp Dewey Tenor Scores
a Distinct Triumph at
Bonds Woods on Sun
day Afternoon.
AT LIBRARY PARK WE'D. NIGHT
Thousands Of Kenoshans Enjoy che OPP
portunity of Hearing Jackie r. E.
valentine-Will Appear at Next
Mid-Week Municipal Concert.

Ihe kenOSha Mash Band scored a
distinct triumph, Sunday afternoon
when before several thousand people
it presented Jackie R. 3. Valentine of
the Great Lakes in public concert. The
program was rendered at Bonds Woods
at three O'Clock and after every. selec-
ton the beautiful little park resounded
with round after round of applause,
and the ovation rendered Mr.. Valen-
tine will no doubt be repeated next
Wednesday evening when he appears
with the Nash Band at Library Park.
Mr.. Valentine has a full clear tenor
and although the advantages to show
| its power were few and far between,
his selections being entirely popular
music, one could easily see that he is
an artist of no little ability. His man
ner is that of a professional and in
his renditions of even the popular mum
bers, he displayed rare talent and
understanding of music. His "Keep
the Home Fires Burning was especial
| ~ popular with his audience who
cheered and applauded until he re-
! sponded, and his last number, Joan
| of Arco he was forced to repeat more
than once. Jackie Valentine has that
quiet unassuming manner that is so
popular with a public audience and it
did not take him long to win his way
into the hearts of his enthused hearers.
In spite Of the fact that the Park
was filed with youngsters who enjoy
the Fairgrounds, Mr.. Valentine, dur
markable silence on the part of the au-
dience which is a great credit to both
his voice and the band itself. The
latter acquitted itself in most credit
able manner and played the difficult
Accomplishments with an ease that
| speaks well for the future.
Mr.. Valentine has been touring the
country for the patriotic movements
and Kenosha has been lucky in secur-
ing his services for these two dates.
In one concert during the last Liberty
Loan drive this accomplished musician
raised $4,000 in less than a half hour
and on many other occasions he has
been equally as successful
He is a pupil of Hans Seitz and D.
r. Gebhart, both well known in vocal
circles and for some time studied at the
Kirkerville State Normal School and
Teachers College where he was recog-
rized for his remarkable voice.
| Those who have not heard Mr.. Valen-
tine are looking forward with much in
terestl to the next concert Wednesday
night when he viii re-appear with the
Nash Band at Library Park. It is ex-
pected that all Kenosha will turn out
| to hear him as it is seldom that public
audiences have the opportunity to hear
an artist of his ability.
| Besides having remarkably sweet
tenor voice Mr.. Valentine is known
as talented piccalo artist and it is in
that capacity that he is member Of
Sousa' Is band.
