as the National Anthem Singers, will visit city
theatres and, preceding the performance, will
lead the audiences in singing "The Star Span-

flashed on the screen and other singers will lead
the spectators. Copies of the anthem are to
be distributed in the hotels, restaurants and cars,
and on the streets. According to the statement
