Herbert Gray of Lon- idon, eminent clergyman, states- Hany people seem to wonder why the United States Marine Band, which is coming here Nov. 14, is so famous. Take a glance j at some of these statistics and you'll say, "No wonder the Ma rine Band is so famous and so good!" The United States Ma rine Band carries on all its tours over 2,000 pounds of instru ments and music. . There are 50 members in the band on all trips ; each of these men average 18 years of service with the band. Since all its members are en listed, the Marine Band has to practice two hours every day in the year except Sundays. Captain Branson has been a member of the band since he j - was 17 years old. In the 129 years of its exis tence the band has had only nine leaders. The drummer, Wilbur Kieffer, has been drumming for over 25 years. The baggage of the band in travel consists of 42 trunks; a special baggage car accompanies the band on all trips. Mrs. Coolidge, hvan article on "Social. Life at the White House," in a recent issue of the American Magazine, pays high tribute to the Marine fiand as the' chief item in the success of any program at the White House. 1 The Marine Band has played at the inauguration of every United States president from Thomas Jefferson to Herbert Hoover. The Marine Band was lead by Sousa for 12 years. 36,000 people attended the Marine Band concert recently in Kansas City. , In each city where? the band has played on this ', tour, the Mayor has declared an official Marine Band Day, and the city's main street was draped in Unit ed States flags. .

The perform ance will be repeated tonight and Saturday night. "Job's Kinf oiks" is a story of the struggle in the lives of a. family of mill-workers living in the piedmont section of North Carolina.

Of the author, Loretto Carroll Bailey, Professor . Koch says, "Her first play, 'The Deserter,' written m her senior year at the Richard Reynolds high school (Winston-Salem) was a play about the mill people dealing with the problem of heredity. It won first prize in the state dra matic tournament at Chapel Hill in 1925, and received honorable mention in the National Little Theatre tournament in New York in the same year, InWm- ston-Salem are some of the model mills of the state. There are no separate schools for the mill children, and from her childhood Loretto Bailey has known inti- mately the lives of the workers at the spindles. "'Job's Kinf oiks' was first written in the University play writing course in 1927. The first draft was a failure, but all who heard it at the author's reading were impressed with the vivid ness of the characterization. Encouraged to go on with it, the author worked all the next night, and appeared the follow ing morning with an entirely new play which retained only one character from her original Continued on last page) ing school department oi true marriage ana pa - university uao " V T r rW British camnaign which school of education who to great maf se, the latter wj. ful U f has c ; present at this meeting anu as sist at the work are Professors Farrar, King, Gwynn, Munch, and Preston.
