A Singing Snow
Blankets the

There is some top-flight talent
on hand in some of the towns

our second winter of the winter.
Harry Snow, whose arrival a
couple of weeks back was greeted
with banner headlines reading
Snow Blankets Washington"
still was on hand for the repeat
performance. Even if it requires
skis or snow shoes. you'd better
get around to the Shoreham Blue
Room to lend him an ear. Mr..
Snow is personable young man
with a robust tenor voice and a
singing style which ne can adapt

overuse has removed. He losses
in a song or two that you don't
hear often, too, like "Hi-Li-Li,
Hi-Lo" from Lii" It's all very
fine.
Mr.. Snow, incidentally, went
to New York for a screen test
while singing at the Shoreham.
Said the man directing it gave
him q scene in which he was
supposed to turn on tears. then
began telling him jokes. Almost

"Brigadoon." but they rewfote
his part so that it came cut a

not much more that can be said
of Mr.. Fiske by now. His style
and the subject matter Of his
songs are probably familiar to
every one.
You either like him or you
don't like him. To this reporter,
his piano technique and his
ability to look like anything
from a retired British cavalry
officer to sea horse are marvels,
quite apart from the tenor of
his ballads. And in those, some
of his less blunt lines are among
the funnier ones. South of the

are called senoritas and when
they get together it's called
