Dated "Friday, July 26, 1935" from an unidentified newspaper; photographer not credited.

Although the group was not from Hoboken, mentioned as a member is Tony [Anthony] Durstewitz who was the son of Hoboken Playgrounds Band director Julius Durstewitz. The man standing directly behind the bass drum resembles Julius Durstewitz, but he is not mentioned in the article.
