Few people realize the part that mu.
sic has had in the winning of the war.
That never give in spirit called morale
Is largely product of the cheerful.
ness due to the songs of the men on
the march and in camp. And we
nave all heard these songs sung-but
most of us only at second hand.
The Soldiers Quartet, composed of
four young men from the A. e. f.
VIII render program on the local
Lyceum Course that will completely
satisfy the longing of the home folks
to hear at first hand the songs of the
boys in khaki.
These soldier boys bring us the
great World War in music. And the
songs they will sing will show us that
not all OF the war was tragedy. Much
OF 1t was fun and good fellowship
and so in their program these soldier
lads will show US the combination of
fun, thrills and tragedy which is mod
ern war. They will portray in song
and pantomime the many sides of the
life that has made men out of weak
ings and heroes out of towards.
Besides the quartet numbers there
are excellent solos and duets. Each
member of the company is capable of
sustaining his own part in solo work
most creditably and these numbers
will be one of the very enjoyable fea.
lures Of the program.
Their songs cover wide variety
and besides the songs of trench and
