i. S. MARINE BAND
TO GIVE CITY CONCERTS

Announcement IS made by'w. L.
Radcliffe that the u. s. Marine Band
will appear at the Aldine on Sept.
2S under the direction Of Leader
william II. Santelmann. Santel-
mann is entitled to be called Cap
tain" this being his designated rank
on the rolls Of the u. S. Marine
Corps. He prefers to be called
Leader santelmann for the reason
that the discipline he maintains over
his men is not Of a military char
acter. His discipline depends on
confidence and cooperation, upon
sympathy and psychological rela-
tionship rather than upon directly
defined and uncompromising auth
ority. In selecting the personnel Of
the band Santelmann makes sure at
the outset that his men possess the
artistic spirit and the personal am
btion which will stimulate them to
effort for the sake OF what they may
achieve quite apart from any ap-
prehensions of retribution which
may befall in case work is not per-
formed in accordance with certain
standards and restrictions. A true
musician does not have to be told
when he is wrong. He knows it,.
The band will appear here Under
the auspices of John L. Fisher Post
American Legion.
