What, ho! These gentlemen seem to be caught, as the poets say, in "frozen music." On the other hand it is possible they are only listening intently for someone to call, "Poker game in the next room!" th Xvound 1 owners roll. His father and other members of family in St. Joseph. Mo., did not approve of this deviation. So Bransford became independent and started out on his own with a scholarship in his pocket. He found the exact spot he wanted when he became one of the Round Towners. His only operation has been to amputate the midsection of Bransford so that it now has become "Brad". By the time this picture comes to you it is very probable Mr. Larry Murphy who nestles under the shadow of Brad Reynold's chin will have departed elsewhere. His place will be taken by Mr. Carlton Boxill who also had started out with an M. D. for his goal. But the war amputated his income. He had a family to support. Fate and an exceptional voice brought him to radio and the Round Towners ensemble. Evan Evans, third from the left, won a fellowship in the Juilliard Music Foundation. New York, and journeyed to America from his native heath in Liverpool, England. It has been three years since he first joined the Columbia staff. He has been on many notable programs as well as in the quartet. Alonzo McAdams is the merry gentleman at the extreme left. Alonzo is his name but only a few people know it. His friends all think his first name is "Lon". But that doesn't interfere in any way with those deep chest notes that make you shiver when you hear the Round Towners sing deep sea sailor tunes. He became a radio singer in 1923 and had considerable to do in the development of modern technique in placing singers at the right distance from the mike.
