PROVING MARINES
 70 STRONG TAKE THE ENTIRE CITY
Parade, Band Concert and Vaudeville Show Prove Big Attractions = More Today = Military Ball to Close

Seventy strong. the Rowing Ma 1 rines' descended on Phoenix yesterday
 and by last night the stalwart soldiers of the sea had played and talked and
 laughed their way into the hearts of
 the city'S population with their after
 noon parade and band concert and
 their evening vaudeville performance a performance, by the way, that made a sensation any theatrical troupe would be proud of.
 From the time they made their first appearance yesterday afternoon until they had disappeared last night the rowing band of soldiers of the sea were the center of things in Phoenix. and the climax of the day came last night when they packed 1900 Phoenicians into the Columbia theater, while 2o00 more were turned away because the hall was full. If the marines delighted Phoenix, they themselves. were equally delighted. The only fault they could find was that the halls here are not large enough
 Here Today Also
 The Rowing Marines will remain in Phoenix today also in their two-day visit here in the interest of recruiting and publicity to the corps whose boast It IS that It is always the first to fight.
 The marine troupe opened it's bat teries in Phoenix yesterday with a street parade about 2 o'clock, headed by the rovers' band of 32 pieces from Mare Island. At o'clock the band and other marines delighted the whole downtown district with a concert at the city hall plaza. Governor Camp bell and his official staff and family and number of city officials, sinclud- ing Mayor Corpstein and City Manag- CT Avery ThampSon, attended
 The most heartily enjoyed event however, was the show the Rowing Soldier -Sailormen staged at the Co., lumbia theater last night---a show ex- eiusIVely of and by marines, including seven vaudeville acts that many cir cults would be glad to book for the season and d concert by the band.
