PAGE EIGHT THE MOCK-UP S·EPTEMBER 3, 1943 Not Much Sunshine at Servicemen's Dance L The past week's performances of the US'NATB Orchestra have shown great advance in coordina tion and syncopation. The boys are rapidly gaining prominence among servicemen and our civilian host esses at the thrice weekly USO dances. Chief Bandmaster Hugh McClure and his trombone novelties provide an edge of color to the variety of dance tempos. During a rest period at Satur day night's dance, .for the "Boys of the Band," some nine or ten happy lads revealed a combined talent in harmony with an inter rupted rendition of "You Are My Sunshine." Attention of all present was directed to the muclr appre ciated improvised entertainment when one of the Shore Patrolmen saw fit to "hush up" the sere· naders.
