27th Div. Jazz Band

Location:
Theater:
Date:
Rag music.
If an ovation means anything this Jazz Band of the 27th Division could easily qualify for any house in New York City. Following an announcement, the band opens with some old time rag numbers with house going into wild excitement. After a few numbers, one of the boys did a typical shimmy dance and took one encore. Seven boys, displaying 6 months' overseas chevrons, form the act, all playing musical instruments. They look like an excellent attraction for any house just now.
