If you want to put spirit into
an evening, put music in it and
that ... is . just . , what . . was done . dur- ,
ing the Vesper Hour at the SSFG
Sunday evening. There was an
enthusiastic reception for the
playing and singing of the Miss
es Dowdell, Hall, Butler and
Spaulding. Miss C. Adams,
one of the best morale bolster-
ers in the business was present
as usual and on the alert to
fill the most difficult order of
the da.v.
It’s very rational now that
everything is rationed, to ask
for and get the most out of un¬
rationed fun . . . and that means
dancing in any man’s language

Believed to be the largest check ever drawn upon a bank owned and operated by Negroes, the above is a reproduc¬
tion of a *300,000 check to purchase war bonds written on the Mechanics and Farmers bank of Durham, N. C.
The check marks the largest single purchase of war bonds which Negroes have made anywhere and brings the total
purchases of the North Caroli na Mutual Life Insurance Company, whose president, C. C. Spaulding, signed the check, to
a total of $2,120,300. ____ -

KING KOLAX AND HIS NBC ORCHESTRA I
King Kolax, the king of the
hot trumpeters "rides again”
Monday night, Oct. 18, when he
and his sensational band of a
thousand riffs swing out m the
original Kolax manner at the
Masonic Temple in this city.
This famous band is being
brought to Savannah by the
Friendly Eight Sport Club.
Kolax, the young man with
the educated horn truly lives
up to the name “King” as he
plays the trumpet like nobody
else can and when he and his
swing dispensors give out with
that weird and torrid rhythm
that takes one on an imaginary
trip to the depths of the jun 1
gle. King Kolax and his men!
ar e known a s the band with the the!
“jungle swing” and when
"King” sends you in the key oL
“C” above “C” you will agree
that the great Kolax rides
again.
