Among the musicians who have made good in other locales are the following: Edward Johnson and Frank DePierro who joined Sousa's famous band; Harry Mayberry, who became conductor of the Salvation Army Band in New York City; John Cordaro, a bouse man for the National Broadcasting Freddie Farrar, brother to George Farrar, director of, St.

Carradine-G. Sondergaard in "ISLE OF FORGOTTEN SIN" plus TIM McCOY in "ACES AND EIGHTS" A Rip-Roaring AVestern Also Selected Short St. Ann's Band, of Freeland, has been invited to attend the United Mine Workers of America convention to be held at Music Hall, Gin-cinnati, Ohio, which starts on Tuesday, September 12th. The band will entrain for Cincinnati at White Haven on Sunday afternoon at 2:45 o'clock via the Black Diamond. Prior to their departure for White Haven, the band will assemble at headquarters on Ridge where they will form in a farewell street parade.

This year's invitation of the band by the International Executive Board of the United Mine Workers through Secretary-Treas urer Thomas Kennedy is the third for the Freeland band. It comes as a reward for the tireless efforts of the North Side band on behalf of the union. For the past forty-four years, St. Ann's Band has bceq: closely connected with any call on behalf of the union cause. Back in the crucial 1900-1902 organizational drive of the anthracite region by the late John Mitchell, St.

Ann's Band won a spot in the hearts of coal miners throughout the coal belt In the initial campaigns of Mr. Mitchell it was the music of the Freeland band that was inspirational in the formation of the spectacular miners' marches and mass meetings of that era which contributed so much toward the unity of the anth racite miners. During the fam ous strike of 1902, St. Ann'B Band went on a tour of eastern cities. climaxing the drive with a forty-day stop at Coney Island, New York.

The tour served a two-fold purpose. It drew large crowda who contributed to a relief fund for the home folks and won a following for the coal miners that seemed to be lacking when the drive started. The success of this tour led to the band adopting the custom of having annual encampments at interesting resortS and cities in the nation. Most recent of the camping sites of the band was Enna Jettick Park, Auburn, New York. War-time restrictions forced a temporary discontinuance of this annual trek, however.

From 1909 to 1922 St. Ann's Band was the regimental band of the C. T. A. U.

Regiment of the Diocese of Scranton. During the last war the band played an important part stirring up local patriotism. It accompanied local draft contingents to camps and was the only civilian band jarmitted inside Camp Meade, Maryland. When the war dren: Samuel and John, of Kulp-mont; Mrs. Walter Gribovich and Daniel, of Mt Carmel, and Mrs.
