But to get back to history. Young
Mr.. Langan picked up a few odd jobs
singing at embassy parties and other
pretentious private entertainments
after school was out at Georgetown.
With AL Stern, now q criminal lawyer
here; Bill Marshall, currently of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, and Ted
Lesser, who came to fame as Eddie
Cantor's manager, the Langan's sing
ing son also formed a class A barber
shop quartet. This was operated
chiefly for pleasure, and no doubt the
greater part Of that was their own.
Nevertheless, they kept it very much
alive, and on such evenings as Langan
was not professionally engaged they
ferreted deep into the mysteries Of
harmony, low and high.
The singers first break into the
bright lights came during the local ap-
pearance of a musical show at old
Polls. The principal singer was sud-
denly taken critically drunk one night
and a breathless manager chased Bill
to his lair and engaged him to sing
the part. He scored. Thereafter
came parts in "The Passing Show"
