French Hero Musicians Will Play Here March 24 Lnder the auspices of the tabernacle choir, tho French Army Band Veterans will be heard In the tabernacle on the i night of March 24. j Brought to America on invitation of 'the war department, the French Army ! Band Veterans, on government leave of absence, are visiting cities of the United States aa the guests of each community visited. i Those who have been privileged to hear them say that there is a thrill in the playing of these patriotic musicians which one does not get elsewhere. They have been through tire and smoke, shell , burst and vapor choked, these artist-souled artist-souled patriots have struggled on. War has surely left an impression on their music. ! American soldiers wrote home saying ; they have never heard anything like the "Sambre et Meuse" march, in which the buglers throw their instruments into the I air in perfect time. This march they j will play for us, which is the poilu's bat-. bat-. tie-song. Could any band play the "Mar-' "Mar-' seiliaise" like these heroes, who have been wounded, grassed, imprisoned and all but kil'ed for their country? N The French Army band has won Us. honors and has made its name. It comes to us now the band of the hour, to play lis the music we long to hear. Every member of the veteran soldier musicians is recognized in bis own country coun-try as a soloist of highest standing. Edward P. Kimball, manager of the tabernacle choir, states that the visit of this organization will be made the occasion occa-sion of a great tribute to France, and that all organizations will be invited to take part in the welcome and reception that will be accorded these worthy sons of our sister republic.
