GOOD MUSIC BY
PEOPLES ORCHESTRA
One OF the things the, elimirla-
ton OF Roxy permitted WRO list
eners to hear was an excellent con-
cert by the Peoples Home o.
chestra under the direction of Maj
ton Boyce. The State of Delaware

of the Metropolitan Opera Company
and Joe Green's Marimba band
were the big stars. Chamlee sang

pleasure to their restful music and
has long wanted to know who
was producing it. In the WIZ
broadcast listeners were able to
identify the sea music feature

Shine" male chorus and
group of good singers with an or
cbestra and a real Gerald Stopp
continuity made the program very
much worth while.
