Famous Orchestra
to Play Tonight
Fresh from successes in California
and their present tour of Oregon
towns, Gene Coy and his "olden
Gate" orchestra will povide the mu
sic for a dance at the county fair
pavilion in Heppner this evening.
The dance is under the sponsorship
of the Heppner Rodeo association
and all money received above the
band guarantee and other expenses
will go to the association to be used
in conducting the 1940 rodeo.
Arrangements for the orchestra's
appearance was made last Thursday
when J. B. Sparks, former theater
operator in Heppner, Arlington,
Condon, Prineville, Bend and Red
mond, met with officers of the Ro
deo association. Sparks has been
in the ballroom business in Cali
fornia the last 11 years and says
he has been having grand success
in booking Coy and his musicians.
Aside from contracting dance en
gagements, his band will play three
nights at the Capitol, Bend's leading
theater, next week and will return
there for the celebration, July 4, 5
and 6.
Tonight's dance will continue to
the wee small hours, according to
Dr. R. C. Lawrence, chairman of
the Rodeo dance committee, and
whether you are a dance fan or not
you will get your money's worth
in high class entertainment, he says.
The "Golden Gate" orchestra is
California's No. 1 colored stage and
dance band, including entertainers
as well as musicians.

hand to blameless, pitiable folks in
such dire circumstances. They, too,
are human, and not so long ago,
were good citizens in a little repub
lic or kingdom, and have fallen a
victim of the foul monster through
no fault of their own.
The present war situation is most
regrettable, and we, as American
citizens can do no less than to help
alleviate and assuage the heartless
suffering and grief.
