Dear Anne and All -

My recollection from a combined band program in 1945 Peoria County,
Illinois, is that the title is "Funeral March of the Marionettes", or
"Funeral March for a Marionette" or something like that. And this was a
"few" years before the "Alfred Hitchcock Show". Does this jibe with anyone
else's memory?
