PERSONAL APPEARANCE
AT OPERA HOUSE

Jesse Crawford, sKing of the
King of Instruments, will make q
personal appearance at the Twin
City Opera House, on Tuesday
March %, bringing with him the
newest scientific musical marvel OF
the age, the Hammond electric or
gan. Crawford is convinced that
this pipeless organ because of it's
portability, answers the organist' IS
prayer-a dream unexpectedly come
true. as a result of modern electron-
les and amplification, "Musically
speaking" said the "poet of the or
gan" in recent interview, the
electric organ makes possible his
tour of the world. The vast cata-
logue of music established during
the past century or more is now
capable of being authentically in
terpreted on single instrument"
Selections to be offered by the or
gan poet will run the gamut Of
symphony to swing. Though he
finds value in all music, his personal
preference is for the light classics
and standard compositions which
he likens to "Old friends"
