Inspiring music was given by the Cordova Brass Band at it's premier concert in the Empress Theater last night, to the delight of capacity au- dience.

 The War Eagle March," conclud- ing the program, was fully good enough for a community state occa- sion like the coming welcome to Pres ident and Mrs. Harding. It was ex cellent, indeed, and produced the in- tended effect of enthusiasiasm.
 Director Nickerson's brief remarks of modest appreciation evoked a gen. uins ovation for himself and his asso- ciates, and there was general comment indicative of public gratitude for their admirable efforts to fill the musical | need in Cordova.
 The cooperative effort which achieved the success throughout the entire brilliant program was consd cred by all hearers so admirable that it is deemed unfair to single out for special praise the stars whose superior i experience enabled them to score in- dividual triumphs.
