For Anson Weeks has a style that is distinctly indivf<Wl... try as they can. no one haa been successful in developing his rhythm . . . which is the result of years of study. When Weeks first went to the University of California back in 1915, he spent the first morning registering ar.J enrolling in class es, and the first afternoon he set out to organfoal a band. A four piece dance orchestra was the re sult! A goodly number for a Uni versity orchestra in those days (for if you leaf back in your mem ory book or thumb the pages of a college annual, you will find that 1915 still wasn't the heydey of college bands). Anson Weeks’ troupe was one of the first groups of collegiate mu sicians to get recognition. They signed a contract to play at the Hotel Saciemento. They became the talk of the town. Business im mediately picked up when Anson moved in . . . more tables had to be set up. His popularity swept the Pacific coast . . . Then came the United States entry into the World War. Anson Weeks enlisted in the navy. That was in 1917. And during the next year and a half A* extra-curricular activities I Anson spent his time; directing his self-organised band and cheering up homesick sailors. M the bleak est moment with not; letters from no candy or smokes and home broke . .. one of the two orches tras would swing intp action and set the lads to singing and forget ting. In port, he weht ashore to appear for Liberty ;X-oan drives . . . and be contributed his share in putting them acro$s. When the war was over, Weeks left his two bands which he had organised and set 01A on a busi ness career. What iould it be! Offers came from «vfry direction. For Anson Weeks hpd become a national figure. He chose to be a buyer for a California packing corporation. But as 'Weeks went about estimating and figuring and quoting rates and discounts .tan talising tunfo were haunting him. preparing men to de their part in So he drga iked a band on the any emergeney. stressing the im- 1 11 A ll ( olonel w.
