This 10 minute musical short features the United States Navy Band in concert at the Lincoln Memorial. Some of the numbers are done with a chorus and some are strictly instrumental.
It's a no frills short, we see edited shots of the band and chorus with some newsreel footage. When the band plays Don't Give Up The Ship there is some newsreel footage of visitors to the Lincoln Memorial and later they cut to shots of John Paul Jones's grave at Annapolis.
Via newsreel the Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Ernest J. King also appears. Back before there was radio or sound films, the military bands would tour in concert, most famous the Marine Band of led by John Philip Sousa.
I would love to have had a newsreel short of that band in concert.
