HALLETT, Basic

COlored Musicians Being
Brought Back By De-
mand Sunday March IL

Proving that he is still greater
than ever in the world of music,
Nal Hallett has just completed a
six weeks engagement at the mag
nificent Roseland ballroom on
Broadway where dancers are most
discriminating. This same aggre-
cation including vocalists Jerry Per-
kins and lovely Madeline Greye, as
well as Buddy Welcome and COM
edian Joe Cabanaro come to the
Hamilton park pavilion Sunday
night.
The announcement of the book
ing of this sterling outfit was
greeted with great acclaim by the
dancers at the park because Hal
lett has always been a favorite here.
It's remarkable how Nal has kept
abreast of the times in spite of the
great number of bands that have
come up in the past ten years. They
come and they go chiefly because
they haven't the ability, the back
ground and the showmanship of a
Hallett.
MAJ and his gang are not only
fine dance outfit but are still the
tops as an entertaining combina-
ton.
Their engagement at Hamilton
park gets underway Sunday night
at $3.50 and continues until i a. m.

one of the most thrilling screen
tests of the season when Geronimo"
an unforgettable story of the most
feared, hated and powerful Indian
menace ever to terrorize the west,
opens its three-day engagement at

distinguished cast which includes
