Quartet Singing in America is
assured a top-notch show for its
charter night festivities, Thurs
day, March 29.
Among the quartets scheduled
to appear on the show are the
“Jesters” from Sacramento. These
young men drew ‘rave’ notices
in San Francisco when they sang
on the big barbershop jamboree
show which was held in January.
Those who have heard the Jest
ers perform say that they com
pare favorably with House Bros,
and Lake Oswego Four. This
should be recommendation plenty
for those who are trying to de
cide about attending the affair.
Another fine quartet which is
coming is the “Uncalled Four”
of Berkeley. These men were on
the Klamath Falls parade of
quartets last spring and made a
hit. They were second-place win
ners in the Far West quartet
contest last October.
The “Camelia City Four” also
of Sacramento, will be on hand
and will give the local barbershop
fans plenty to talk about. This
foursome has been singing to
gether a number of years around
San Francisco and they are con
sidered one of the top quartets
in the west.
The “Lumberlads” of Eugene,
current champs of the Northwest
district, will travel here to give
their brother barbershoppers a
lift in the right direction. These
fellows will be remembered by
those who saw the Brookings pa
rade last October.
It is also reported that the
“Four Bills” of Roseburg will
be on the program.
The “Harmonettes,” local girls
Barbershop quartet, is rehears
ing regularly to be in top voice
for the show. This group has
been making a big hit wherever
heard and hopes are held for them
to be one of the outstanding girls
quartet in the west. They recent
ly underwent a change in per
sonnel, and now sing in this or
der: Bernadine Steele, tenor;
Betty Young, lead; Jean Panzer,
baritone and Lucille Patterson,
bass.
Several local quartets and both
the Crescent City and Brookings
choruses will be on the show.
Brookings people need not be
told of the entertainment to be
enjoyed at this occasion.
