...band with the introduction of two new song hits, if everything goes as planned for their Princeton game celebration next Saturday. McCarthy's Boston Commanders will descend on the Gold-Coasters with musical and vocal talent sufficient to satisfy the most scrutinous of epicures. A violin soloist from the Camel Quarter Hour will wield the bow, while Billy Freestone, from the National Broadcasting Artists, and John Truman, will do the vocal artistry. Efforts are being made to secure "Annie's Cousin Fanny," a new hit which has been tremendously popular in the few places where it has been heard. Truman...
