IT Listen, Bill, I'll be around with the car
at noon on Thanksgiving. If wc want
to get out to the game on time, we gotto
make an early start.
tf You're getting the tickets, aren't you?
Sure, on the Penn side, that's right. Hank
will be in one of the Cornell sections, with
a gang, .but we'll meet 'em after the
game.

have turkey with the crowd, too? Sure, that's great stuff. They're1
as young as any of us. Tell 'em that the eats there are the best ever.
They like music, too, don't they? Well, Coleman's Orchestra will
be there. You know what that means. Sure, it's going to be one
old-fashioned Thanksgiving that will do-your heart good.
fl Now, here's the program: All cat at the Colonnade before the
game. After the game, we collect Hank and his Cornell crowd
and go back to the Colonnade for dancing. I'm there on those
dancing teas, Bill. All eat dinner at the Colonnade Dance between
courses, Bill. You may think you don't want to, but when
that Guffer Band of Brown's gets to jazzing well, you dance between
courses, that's all, Bill. After dinner, the whole bunch takes in some
show. We split up on the tickets. What? Sure. After the show,
more dancing at the Colonnade. The Orchestra and the Guffers
both on the job, Bill
fl No, No; No, No, I'm not married to the Colonnade. I just
believe that when one place has got all the rest beaten to a standstill
forun, you're foolish to go anywhere else. Am I right? Sure And,
listen, Bill, there isn't a man or a girl that I know who doesn't think
the new Colonnade is the best bet in town. Ask anybody. The
whole town will be the on Thanksgiving, and don't you forget it.
(T What? Are they coming from
New York, too? Well, tell him to
phone "Spruce Five-eight hun
dred." The Colonnade reserva
tion clerk will hold a table for
them, if they get on the job right
away.

the car Thanksgiving morning,
don't lose time on that reservation.

Music -a war-time necessity
A famous general once said tint the only enemies, he ever fesred entered the battle with a sonz
on their lips. c
Patriotism is three parts emotion and music is the language of the emotions.
Courage is born of the heart and music speaks straight to the heart.
In times that try men's souls, every force which keeps the nation's spirit bright is a great and
positive asset. Every means of combating trial with happiness must be carefully conserved and fostered.
A nation at war requires food for its soul as well as for its body. The morale of the fighting
forces must be maintained. The mental and moral resources of the people must be preserved at their
full vigor. Recreational and cultural activities must provide the needed relaxation, revive'thc droop
ing spirits, soften the sting of sorrow, instil new ardors of bravery and determination. The sound of
laughter must be heard in the land.
Instinctively men turn to music for entertainment and inspiration. Music speaks a tongue that
all can understand, that nothing else can speak. It reaches down to the hidden springs of feeling,
replenishes and freshens them. To the mysterious power of music, the pulse responds and hopes run
high. Under its healing influence, gloom and despair lose their evil grip.
Imagine, if you can, a nation going into war without the thrill of music! Imagine, if you can,
a nation battling through the dark days of a prolonged struggle without the heartening comfort of musicf
The Victrola is literally the nation's chief source of music. More Americans and Americans in
the making have learned "The Star Spangled Banner" from the Victrola than from any other one
source. The Victrola is in millions of homes. It is in camp, on shipboard, in the trenches, the hos
pital:, the schools, and the churches. It is the principal source of cheerfulness and entertainment to
the soldiers and sailors of Uncle Sam. "Back home" among the folks behind the army the farmers,
the men and women in the fields and the factories, in city and in country, the Victrola is one of the
greatest if not tht greatest means of diversion.
It is the mission of the artist to create beauty and pleasure. It is the mission of the Victrola to
carry them directly to the people, to plant them in their homes and thus to contribute to their mental
and spiritual well-being.
The tremendous popularity and use of the Victrola and Victor Records indkatc. how strongly
established they are in the affections of the people, how completely they are fulfilling a national need.
The Victrola performs no mean service to the nation.
