LAZY VOICE USERS
Menace of The Crooner LONDON. Aug. 12. Mr. Dale Smith, a well-known singer, in an uddre s at St Andrew's University. made a sharp attack on crooning. "A crooner counts for nothing to musicians. because ol the meaningless drivel he produces, yet his weak w him's and moans are amplified by wireless rad gramophones, and so transmitted to listeners as though they were rich and strong,” he said “If the practice of having the voice amplified continues, we shall see people walking about with pocket microphones, because they are ton lazy to speak above a whisper.”
