was a boy soprano. His first film was Let's Sing Again (1936),
followed by eight more, including Rainbow on the River (1936), Make
a Wish (1937), and his last film, Johnny Doughboy (1942).

performer in stock theatre, later serving as a guest pianist for the
NBC Symphony Orchestra on radio, and hosting a local TV show in New
York. |
