Harvard Reddick, first tenor, is a Toronto man; John Ring­ ham, baritone, comes from Van­ couver; and Donald Parrish, bass, calls Wallaceburg, Ont., his home. During the war these young men were members of a large singing chorus in the Canadian "Navy Show.” The company tra­ velled a great deal and on tour these fellows got together for some close-harmony sessions. They began them to pass the time, but soon they were per- formirfg for the whole troupe. Officials promptly took them out of the chorus and starred them separately as “The Com­ modores” quartet. They were a tremendous success when the show gave a command perform­ ance in London, England. Since those early days, the boys, assisted by Leo Lighter at the piano, have toured widely and acquired that smooth show­ manship which has raised them to the top, “The Video-ettes,” in private life Art and.

They came originally from Vancouver, The auspicious beginning was more than two years ago in Mas­ sey Hall during the four-night Toronto S y m h o n y orchestra’s “Christmas Box" concert. In that revue of the best talent "The Video-ettes" easily stole the show.

Now he is happy, as is his wife who was greatly hampered in trying to sew with no glasses. "Two or three of the school children who needed glasses bad­ ly have also benefitted." “Last Sunday," he continued, “I fitted a pair of bi-focals on an old Eskimo woman who has gone through a life of terrible suffering and persecution and she too is able and happy now to be sewing and knitting with proper eyesight." The school also sent Sunday School papers cards. “Pretty cards to the boys and allowed those of to each have a and Christmas are a real joy girls here, so I various families certain number and" tlx ey were very happy about it.
