Singing Stars
Career One
HeDreamed
By Frances Lone.

NEW YUM.
Lawrence Brooks, singing star Of
Broadway's new hit operetta Song
Of Norway" has at last the kind Of
career he dreamed of on his high
school graduation day.
However, I've never spun a thread
until now," says 29-year-old Brooks,
who spent the years between gradua-
ton and Broadway in a section gang.
singing In chorus in Portland, Me-,
and in New York night clubs.
The son Of a storekeeper, Brooks
was born in Westbrook, Me. He
heard his best friend sing at his
graduation exercises and, II was 30
inspired, decided right then to be-
come singer"
He Is Grateful for Job.
Now, in his first try in the Broad
way spotlight, in the role of CON-
poser Edward Grieg, II couldn't ask
Tor anything better. And for a guy
who has been out Of work so often
in past years, 1t is gratifying to know
I am a success"
II have four moods to remember"
he says. First, carefree Norwe-
gian country boy, then q successful
composer acclaimed in Copenhagen
and Rome; a man of depression be-
cause he has let down his best boy
hood friend, and finally an older and
much wiser man, who goes home
with his wife, and is inspired to
compose The Song of Norway"
Tall and blond, Brooks lends
distinguished air to his stage
Edward Grieg. OF French-Canadian
descent, he can sing in many Ian
guages, but says of this talent, II
just have the knack. More than
often I don't remember what I am
singing!"
1t was on summer vacation at
Camp Tamiment, Pa, that he met
Robert Wright and George Forrest,
then in the midst of adapting the
Grieg music for Song of Norway"
They were struck by the young
baritone's voice and dramatic abili-
ties, but were not ready for produc-
ton.
Took Costumer's Name.
So, to fill in, Larry went into New
York's Copacabana Club for six
months.
He also took new name, since
it was thought his own-Lawrence
Huard-would not click in the en-
tertainment world. He picked the
: new one from the costumer who did
!; his clothes for the Copacabana show.

and he travelled to the Coast for the
first time
The test didn't pan out" he
adds, but am just as glad because
I might have lost the opportunity
to play in Song of Norway"

The single set by Edward Gilbert

as Lady Elizabeth performed ade-
quately in role which permitted
her only once to vary from the sac

perhaps might have done better had
they been given a whole comedy in

one was rather sodden English

BIockbusters' Maker
Describes Tactics for
Using His Product

i One of the Royal Air Forces new
8,000-pound blockbusters can de-
stroy a building or group of build
ings the size of Grifith Stadium If
1t hits the target directly.
What one Of the new $4,000 pound
blockbusters would do was left to
the imagination.
The estimate was made yesterday
at the British Information Services
ONCE by blind man who developed
these bombs.
He is Air Commodore Patrick
Huskinson. He was led to his seat
at press conference by his wife.
Shortly after his marriage Com
modore Huskinson's sight was shat
tered In London by q German bomb
similar to the ones he was designing
for the Raj.
Commodore Huskinson, whose
hobby is fishing and whose work as
president Of the Ministry of Air
craft Productions Air Armament
Board is the development OF bigger
and deadlier bombs, seemed to have
accepted his personal disaster in the
spirit Of good soprtsmanship.
New Weapons Possible.
The German has great origi-
nality." he said. 1.-THE possibility
of his coming through with some
new weapons is not to be dismissed" !"
The increase in size Of British
bombs to 1000, 1000, 5000 and now
$4,000 pounds, is not the whole
story, he emphasized. There has
been tremendous development of
everything that goes into the
bomb" he added.
The commodore is anxious to see
what one of the biggest bombs
would do to the remashackle build
ings of Tokyo.
Effective bombing of a city, he
said, called for use of both the big
bombs and incendiaries.
Opens Up Buildings.
"Your big bombs win open up the
buildings, break the water mains
and keep the fire fighters under
cover" he said, while at the same
time you are sowing fire by broad
casting the little incendiary bombs
all through the rubble. The fire
does the most damage, but it is the
initial destruction that makes the
fire uncomfortable.
He described his position as being
in charge OF everything that goes
on bang!"
The big bombs are for night
flights, he pointed out. They are
not for the United States Army Air
Forces daylight flights against
fighter plane opposition. They are
for the destruction of factories and
cities and not for eliminating gun
emplacements on the invasion coast.
Asked If strategic bombing could
prevent the supplying of the Ger
man Army In the field, he said,
Well have to wait on events to
see. We do know that we have done
q great deal Of damage"
