- THE COVER
- Never before has that little boy heard anything like Mrs. Bellows. She can shoot her voice way up high; she can swoop down and hobnob with the altos; she can haul off with startling coloratura gimmicks, and boy, can she sing loud—in fact, soft is the only way she can't sing. Most churches have one of these terrific nightingales, and one is about enough. Two of them, sort of battling out a hymn against each other, would be something, eh? Anyway, Mrs. B.'s great sounds do express true religious fervor, and she does sing on pitch, except for a few klinkers. Artist Dick Sargent considered joining his own church choir so he could study singer's grimaces, but his son Anthony, reminding him he would have to pass an audition, firmly talked him out of the idea.
