His voice is rich 'and vibrant throughout its remarkably extensive range. More than ; a .singer, he is aa accomplished actor. He is assisted by Hyman Lenzer, a violinist of rare skill, and Miss Gladys Sayer, whose accompaniments at the piano show her as an accomplished and reliable player. She is not only reliable, she is resourceful. The combination is an ideal one. The whole is an amazing repertoire of songs, classic, operatic, folk-lore gems and ballads of many countries.
