An interesting news piece from the February 1919 issue of Gibson's Sounding Board Salesman magazine.

I know we have posted on an old thread a promo brochure (http://digital.lib.uiowa.edu/cdm/ref/collection/tc/id/63748) on the University of Iowa archives.
Actually this same brochure and a bunch of others were posted on the Library of Congress American Memory site but I can't seem to locate them any more. I had downloaded the images some time ago, so here they are, all four of them circa 1919.

Awesome stuff Jim. I love Loar's costume. Too funny.

Not just his costumes, the whole company had a pretty good sense of the silly.
How wonderful to have the ability to see these little pieces of the past! Thanks for refreshing the images Jim!

Nice costumes! I wonder if there are any recordings of Lloyd Loar and his ensemble available to listen to?
Yes, it would be interesting to hear recordings of the performances if they emerge the images indicate their routines were occasionally tongue- in cheek; I hope Ig Padereweski had a sense of humor concerning Loar's cameo of him (i.e., "Prof. Paddy Ruski"!), Feb 1919 was about the time he had left the concert stage for the political arena. Wonderful images!
