...fancy clothes and fancy talk. Motley is a sleek, clever confidence man, putting it over on everybody, even his friend Leander, who in the end turns against his sneaky wiles. Leander, the ostensible hero, is altogether a mediocre guy; he manages to fall truly in love with equally dull Silvia (Demetra Striggles), who luckily stands to inherit an enormous fortune from her fractious father (Tony Maier).

Tired of road trips with bus-traveling bands, they settled in Chicago, took on a bass and a baritone as partners and began singing nothing but dog-chow arias and cantatas of smoke. "We wanted a normal life," says Joe, "children and a home. We wanted to try to live like other people do, and that is what we've done." They make a nice, normal $250,000 a year. Broadway Producers Cy Feuer and Ernie Martin, hearing Jamie's voice, once nibbled...
