Il will thon be for- warded ta the city our show, "Meet The Navy," happens ta be piaying in. Tanight we compiete a very successfui week in Montreal, and move off for a month's tour of the Maritimes.

I noticod lu the "Herald" a full page advertise- ment inviting people ta came ta the El Morocco Cafe and celebrate the first anniversary of music by Hal Hartley, Canada's ieading baud leader. I went ta the cafe and sure enaugh il was the same Hal Hartley who, a few years ago, worked with us on aur farms and helped in aur cammunity pro- jects aI Ebenozer. His story is like something outi of a Horatia Alger book. In Eng-1 land, at a very early age, he had pretty well reached the top as a trumpeter. He had lis degree from the Landau College of Music and was playing at thel Savoy Hotel, London. Tlroughi an unfortunate accident lis lip1 was ruinod for trumpeting and( discouraged, le lefI tle Oldi Country for Canada. Fortunez THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWNLA,ýLE. ONiARIO T"TTR.c;T)AV ';FPT- .20th loIQ Looking back on those years he says he realizes nothing better couid have happened to him at that particular period of his life. He envies the peopie of Ebenezer their contentment. It was while he was working with Herb Nichais he got the idea 1of turning to the saxaphone, since he couid no longer play the trumpet. Herb loaned him $20 for the down payment on the sax and he started practicing con- siderably enough - in the mfiilk house. Through Arthur' Osbarne, Frank Kersiake became int2îm±. ed in him, and for a t worked in Kerslake's Dru and at the same time anttend"d Bowmanville High School to brush up on his Latin. A few ' months convinced hini that the drug business was not his line, and it was after this venture that he started into band work in Port Hope. Since then it has been a steady but certain climb from the bottom to the top. The other night I watched him leading a very fine band, with a floor show from New York, in what the Montreallers tell me is their best cafe. The part that de- lighted me is that he is still thé unspoiied happy-go-lucky an d easy-ta-meet Hal Hartley who, a few years ago, worked with us in aur Young Peopie's Union, heiped with aur piays and sang in aur choir at Ebenezer. In ciosing just a word of ap- preciation for The Statesman. To me il is like a letter from home; but I find that other members of our cast, to whom Bowmanvilie is only a name, enjoy reading it also.
