I i 1 J;; : ) i- ' ) i fi 1 ! J 1 - - b ' ill i j I M l : i , By VICK LINDLEY ;Four or five operettas packed into a singjle evening—-that’s what the Town Hal! audience received last night from Frances King and Harry Noble. With a light-hearted, summery program, suited to the suddenly summery weather, the singers were roundly applaud ed by the smallest Town Hall turnout of : the year—which means that somelj ticket-holders missed out on an ffenjojyable evening. : The two stars (Miss King is a soprano, Noble a baritone and pianist) gave four song groups. Oddly enough the best group was interpol i series of h,” -mi “June Is lation into songs usel”. These numbers Was a Real Nice Clam- Bill (Soliloquy)”, Out AH Over,” last minute the program—*aii from the Rogers and Hamme; show, “ r and “If I Loved You.” The last number was staged as dramatically and tenderly as in the Broadway production^ j The group of songs from ‘Tyr ian's Rainbow,” current New York hit, included “That Great Come and Get It Day,” “Old Devil Moon” “Something Sort; of Grandish,” and “If This Isn’t Love” Although only one number frpm Irving Berlin’s “Annie Get Your Gun” was -scheduled, en cores raised the total to throe. “Show Business " ‘The Girl That I Marry,” and **i Kin Do Any thing.” “Many a New Day” Was sung as enjoyably by Miss>King as it was in the famous operetta “Oklahoma” in New York, according to this re viewer’s ears. Other show num bers were “Come to Me, Bend to Me” from “Brigadoon" and an old TT l 7n ■ \ George Strauss.” Gershwin tune, Four selections written by Noble himself were also on the program. A gypsy song, “Where Goes,the Wind,” put too great a-strain up on Mifis King’s aery voice, but “Here It Is Christmas” and “Yo del Waltz” proved as pleasing as any of the better-known numbers on the program. (These songs were recently recorded by King amd Noble for International records.) Parting shot was a burlesiqu^ tri bute to Tom Puddy, manager' of Guion Hall: “Cement Miier, Put ty, Putty,” done in a doleful, lu gubrious manner. Puddy refqsed to take a bow with the singers, though he had done a goad job in coaxing some excellent lighting ef fects out of Guion Hairs antiqu ated system. .
