Dr. and Mrs. Carl V. Lansing, who brought Miss Casselle back to San Bernardino Tuesday night in a concert at the California Theater, are to be commended for their interest in good music, as well as for their philanthropy, since the event was a benefit for the proposed new San Bernardino Community Hospital.
