Lily Pons: Program (Columbia, 6 sides). The Met's little wren perches on a high E and holds it in Caro Nome from Verdi's Rigoletto. Just as showy are Heinrich Proch's Theme and Variations for Soprano Voice and David's Charmant Oiseau from La Perle du Brésil. Performance : excellent...
...Brown, oldtime burlesque clown from Holgate, Ohio, and Noel Coward, dapper London sophisticate, have two things in common.
