Bert Fulton's Death
 Is Shock To City
One of Best Known Musicians Who Ever Lived in City;
 Long Identified With Musical Life Here

Members of the Waterbury Mu- sicians' Union, State Employes To- cal, Fulton's American band as
 well as music lovers and theater- goers in general were deeply grieved today to learn of the death of Robert L. Fulton, familiarly
 known as Bert" Fulton. Orchestra
 director in Jacques and Polls the-
 aters for many years, member of the Fulton American band and di- rector of Fulton's famous dance orchestra, Bert Fulton, member of one of the city's former best
 known musical families, had num-
 erous friends and admirers here.
 His death yesterday at the home
 of his daughter, Mrs. Ray Sprowls at Claysville, Pa, came as a pain
 full surprise to his many associates here. He had been in Ill health for the past year.
 The Fulton brothers, James and
 Bert, were identified for years with
 musical organizations of Water bury. Both were extremely popular with the local public. James Full ton was the founder of the Fulton
 Music store, predecessor of Me- Coy's, Inc. He was also the organ izer of Fulton's American band, the
 senior organization of its kind in this section of the state. MT. Full ton now resides in Boston.
 Bert Fulton was most versatile
 musician. He will perhaps be re- membered best by thousands who attended local theaters. He ap- peared frequently with the Fulton
 band. He was also a composer and collaborated with several aspiring song writers, who found in him all
 interested advisor and a splendid aide in stimulating interest in their works. If any question concerning music or musical instruments de- veIoped, 1t was invariably the hab- it of associating the Fulton broth CTS with the issue involved.
 MT. Fulton's last connection he-e with his orchestra was with the Palace theater. Since leaving Waterbury he had been associated with a music publishing house in
