1933

Who says that '33ers are heading mournfully for "the last roundup? "No conclusion could be less well founded. Edward S. Lord, stylist extraordinary and '33 newsletter editor nonpareil, provides the latest evidence to the contrary. "Nedso," as he is known in the entertainment trade, has been wowing New Hampshirites in the Concord area as a member of a barbershop sextet known as the Mellowtones of Havenwood Heritage Heights. Their PR representative has favored us with a photo that he characterizes as "sexy" and which shows the noble sextet, garbed in jackets bearing flashy red stripes, books in hand, smiles on faces and ready to hit "Down By The Old Mill Stream" or "Heart Of My Heart." Lord, with a sly grin and a shining face, fills the slot third from the left. Formerly a devotee of more classical music, he has been unable to resist the call of his public for less demanding programs. The sextet is available, by the way, for smokers, bar mitzvahs, communion breakfasts or similar events at reasonable rates.
