MARY MARTIN AND MEMBERS OP HER USO ALASKAN TOUR RETURNING TO NEW YORK Mary Martin and the members of her USO tour to Alaska will return to New York Saturday, Sept. 20, following their suc¬ cessful two-week tour of the North. The plane bearing the Martin troupe is scheduled to land at Mitchell Field, Long Island, N. Y. at 7 a.m., (EDT) on the 20th. Miss Martin, who broke in the new show which she will do across the United States and Canada in a 60~city tour, culminating on Easter Sunday (March 29) with two NBC-TV Network "specials," was an exceptional hit with the servicemen in Alaska. On her tour - which was made under the auspices of the USO and the Department of Defense, in cooperation with the National Broadcasting Company - she played outposts which had never before been hosts to a USO tour. On one occasion, when she found herself fogbound and unable to reach the Eskimo village of Kotzebue, Miss Martin, Brazilian guitarist Luiz Bonfa and dancer Dirk Sanders, took over a nightclub in Nome, Alaska, for an unscheduled Saturday night performance. In all of her appearances Miss Martin wore the lavish gowns by Mainbocher which are among her "trademarks." In the Nome nightclub appearance the audience was made up largely of Eskimos. The Armed Forces Radio Service arranged broadcasting the program to the troops at Kotzebue. Music for Miss Martin’s performances was provided by John Lesko and his orchestra. NBC-New York, 9/18/58
