THE UNITED STATES MARINE Contrast In itsa most striking phase ia the comparison between the mili- tary band of the Revolutionary war | —the fife and drum and the United * Bt Marine Band now in exist- ence. There is contrast in num- bers, instruments and uniforms, but the greatest contrast exists in the personnel's knowledge of music. To- day the members of the Military Band are both students of music and trained musicians. Their opin- lons are sought and esteemed in the musical world. These audiences are at liberty to make requests for spe- clal numbers and through these the nation's musical price is easily de- termined. The two great exponents of the Jazs movement mentioned by Cap- tain Branson are Grafe and Gersh- win. They have endeavored to cre- ate a definite musical form in this particular fleld. The difficulties confronting them are apparent when you glance over the evoluton of jazz music. The public has glid- od to e variety of musical forms in the last decade or two. The two- step, and it in turn was rucceeded By the gaby glide and fox trots.

AT PALACE TOMORROW ‘What's the first thing a man would netice on returning to il- lzation after an absence of four vears? John Gilbert suplies the answer in his new starring picture, *“Four Walls,” which comes Wednesday to the Palace theater. Gilbert plays the role of an cx-convict who re- turns to the East Side of New York after four years Tn Sing Sing. On the day he is released, he hur- ries directly to his home in the Ghetto, where his mother (Vera Gordon) and Bertha '(Carmel My- ers) are waiting for him. After greeting them Gilbert stands at the window of the apartment and looks down on the busy streets below him. “SHOW GIR! A new .

VIEW OF SKY IS REAL HEALTH NEED Workers in Skyscrapers Should Have Mone Sunlight Upper Siaranac Lake, N. Y., Sept. 25 (A—When the worker in a city skyecraper factory feels too list- less to walk at quitting time, the cause may be lack of proper day- light. This belief was presented International Illumination congress here by P. J.

Mr. Waldram proposed imme. diate consideration of a standard which would declare daylight in- | sufficient in a room when no sky at | all is vicible from a position at the height of a table above the floor.
