The curtain will come down on
the Pan-American Unions summer

Socialites in Washington have
long enjoyed the music of the
Marine Band, particularly in the
rendition of marches. ballads, folk
songs, and symphonic pieces COM
posed by artists of the American
Republics. The Marine Band is one
of the pioneer organizations to de-
vote attention to music of the Amer

popularizing many well-knoWn
Latin American compositions.
The Ell Charro Gil Trio, from
Mexico City, has been harmonizing
Latin Americas traditional and

Vera Cruz, and Jesus Navarro, a
native of the musical Huasteca re-
gion. All three strum guitars to
provide their own accompaniment.
Typical North American cowboy
songs from the western plains are
included in the repertoire of the
Ell Charro Trio, and are presented
with the aid of phonetics. Home

20 guiv mi a hoam wer the buffalo
roam, wer the dir and tha antelop

sing songs of the gauchos of Argen-
tina. the llaneros of Columbia and
Venezuela, and the vaqueros of

picture Of life on the plains of the
