cettufaLluu went over DIX IN luo
city Of Destiny. There were private

the show" feature was the singing
OF the All-Soldier (black and white)
chorus of Sergt. e. Brown. ct may
be mentioned at this point this
same chorus gave recital the
previous Sunday at the U.S.O. The
chorus consists OF 70 voices).
Il viii be of further interest to
state that Sergt. Samuel F. Brown,
/ IT.. trained in music and voice since
boyhood, and is a natural musician. |
He has played major role In the
development Of this large array Of
mass singers. Sergt Brown credits
the success of his music career, to
the teaching of his father, a pianist |
OF high ability In New oYrk city. |
Sergt. Brown was stationed at Fort
Lewis in 1916 and he has done
valiant work for the Bethlehem
Baptist church. He also organized
and conducted the Philharmonic |
