OF stars from various fields OF enter
tainment. Headlining the out
standing stage show is Will Osborne
and his New Hollywood Band. They
are nationally known as one of the
most popular aggregations in the
musical world; ever since he made
his debut as a purveyor OF dance
rhythms. When Osborne came to
Broadway, the new Jazz tempos
with their tendency to make musi-
cal bedlam irked him. He de-
cided that he would create a
smooth soft rhythm similar to Or
/ gan music. This type of music,
combined with Osborne soft vocal
izing, gained him instant popularity
on the air and in the night clubs
and has made him one of the top
ranking bands of the day. Featured
with his orchestra is lovely
Marianne who has made name
for herself in her own right with
her unusual quality of singing ano

We thought that before the war
