FAMOUS COLLEGE PROM DANCE
BAND FEATURED ON NEW
CAMEL PROGRAM

 

Glen Gray and his original Casa
Loma Orchestra, a sensation among
college crowds during the last three
seasons, took to the air last Thurs-
day, December 17, at 10 P. M., E.
S. T., using an 83 station hooloup
over the WABC-Columbian network
for Camel cigarettes, The new pro~
gram is known as the Camel Cara-
van, and will continue every Tues~
day and Thursday at the same hour.

The Casa Loma Orchestra holds
the record for the number of college
dances for which it has furnished syn-
copated rhythms. It has five times
broken the Princeton tradition that
(lance orchestras appear on the cam—
pus only once.

Among 70 or more universities and
colleges where the Casa Lorna Or.
chestru has played are Yale, Penn,
Penn State, Ohio State, Ohio, Cor-
ncll, Amherst, Michigan, Vassar, Lea
high, Colgate, Williams, Lafayette,
Hamilton, Syracuse and Boston.

Featured with the Casa Loma Or—
chestra on the “Camel Caravan” will
be the songs of Irene Taylor, the
girl with the most vivid radio per-
sonality on the air today, and the
harmonies of that engaging trio, the
Do~Re-Mi Girls.

If a person wished to take every
course offered by the University of
Wisconsin, it would take him ninety—
ninc years to complete his education.

prised last Monday morning to find
a pool table in process of being set
up in the club room. A little inves-
