With ups and downs, Alfred Nash Patterson and his ambitious Polyphonic Choir of Christ Church have been presenting rarely sung sacred music. Such a group is much needed in a community which spends most of its efforts on Bach's B-Minor Mass and Beethoven's Missa Solemnis. They were particularly welcomed Monday night when they gave Mozart's Great Mass in C Minor in its first Boston performance in Trinity Church. The crow which filled every seat and stood in every open space made this pretty clear...
Great praise must' be given to the orchestra, which supplied the best accompaniment I have heard in a Cambridge group. But the laurels really belong to Mr. Patterson, the conductor. At no time was there the slightest doubt that he was in complete control and knew just what he was doing. He has a sense of contrast and dramatic effect which he has trained his musicians to execute.

As "Freddie Francisco," Patterson filled his column with racy penthouse scandal and jive talk, was soon earning $15,000 a year as the Examiner's prize drawing card. Once, when he called a lady Oakland evangelist "sexy-looking," her congregation picketed the Examiner. A great gagster, Freddie rented a beard and paraded with the pickets. He also crusaded against Elmer ("Bones") Remmer, owner of San Francisco's three biggest gambling houses, and drove Bones out of business. (When offered...
