"If You Like to Dance Be Here"  PG Daily Review March 28, 1924:  Those who like the light fantastic will enjoy themselves to their hearts' content at the American Legion Hall on Fountain avenue tomorrow night. "Tony" Galasso is to have his band there and take it from steppers who like to step, when Tony furnishes the syncopation you can not make your feet keep still.  It's to be a well-managed and smartly looked after evening. Galasso will take care of that. So will the Legion boys who will be on hand. Don't forget folks. If you like to dance be there at the buddies' hall tomorrow night.
