KIWANIANS GAVE THE
HOME FOLK A TREAT
And They're Glad and The Folks
Are Glad They Heard L. S.
Navy Band

Members Of the Elizabeth City
Kiwanis Club who put out upwards
Of ten dollars a piece to bring the
L. S. Navy Band of Washington to
Elizabeth City for two concerts last
Saturday probably do not regret
the expense, because they did a
genuinely worth while Thing for the
town. Elizabeth City is generally
frivolous and jazz-miifled musically
because most folk in Elizabeth City
never had an opportunity to hear
really good music and learn to ap-
preciate 1t. In the L. S. Navy Band
Elizabeth City heard one of the very
best musical organizations of its
kind in the world and those who
heard it showed unmistakable appre-
citation Of its performance.
The Navy Band paid both Of its
Elizabeth City audiences the com
pliment OF assuming that too much
jazz was not wanted and only
enough jazz was introduced to ell
liven the program. Wagner's Tam
hauser Overture and Inflamatus
from Stabat Mater went over big
with Saturday nights audience,
sandwiched between lighter num-
hers
The big musical organization,
brought here at an. expense of nearly
81. 800 came on the heels of Il Fair
and a Circus and came On Satur-
day when the merchants just won't
take off for an amusement of any
kind. And then. to cap the climax.
it rained Saturday night. Not enough
tickets were sold to meet expenses
and the KiwanianS had to make up
a handsome deficit But being real
fellows they did it checrfully.
