Casa Loma Orchestra Tenth Anniversary Noted For Longevity
The Casa Loma Orchestra led by Glen Gray marks twelve years with six original members still aboard and a history of innovation from its 1930 corporate launch to top dance band status. The group, praised for style and polish, continues to influence swing as a cornerstone of early American dance music. Meanwhile Camp Shelby soldiers seek a secondhand washing machine, aided by a West Virginia SOS appeal for donations.
