The Detroit tribune. (Detroit, Mich.) 1935-1966, 1952-05-31

In younger years, the four Mills
boys would gather in their faith
er's barber shop when business
was dull and listen TO their
father sing some of the songs he
had sung during the years he had
toured with minstrel troupes.
They were engaged for their
first stage appearance at Mays
Opera House in Piqua. They re-
ceived the staggering sum of ten
dollars a night for their services,
and went over so greatly that
they were held over for three
nights.
One night while appearing at
theatre in small Ohio town
the boys forgot the kazoo. Stores
were closed. In desperation, John
Mills cupped his hands over his
mouth and began to hum through
his lips. The imitation surprised
them-and the audience.
IN THE FOLLOWING months
the boys picked up scores of
sponsors for radio shows. They
changed their group name to
the Mills Brothers. From a $50
a-week salary they scared 10
