TUESDAY EVENING, TO MARK FRIDAY WITH RED CROSS Zembo Shriners Heady For Christmas Seal Benefit Con cert and Drill Dont forget to mark Friday, De- j cember 29, on your Christmas week j special calendar with a cross—a "red ; cross," if you will—because that's the date that has been set aside for the Zembo band and patrol concert and drill for the benellt of the Red Cross Christmas 3eal sales campaign. Chestnut Street Auditorium and 8 o'clock in the evening are the place and time, and as for the Girl, you'll be ex pected to take her along. The program will be opened by an unusually attract ive concert, the band having prepared especially for this affair. Following the concert the gay Zouave-clad mem bers of the patrol will go through all the marches, countermarches, pivots, wheels, etc., that comprise the Zembo string of evolutions. After the drill there will be the dance! If you've never danced to the music of Zembo band you've mißsed a very great deal, but this shortcoming can easily be remedied Friday evening if you wish by calling 'round at Chestnut Street Auditorium and trying out a "fox" or two. Zembo band lias put more than or dinary effort into the plans for Fri day's benefit entertainment and many of the Shriners have sacrificed busl- | ness and private interests to assist the i general committee in boosting the en- | tertainment.
