Vocal Ensemble To
Appear Here Oct. 15
America’s newest and brightest
vocal ensemble, The Knickerbock
ers, will be heard October 15th at
8; 15 p. m. in Brevard college audi
torium.
Adhering to the same formula of
expert musical direction and origi
nal arrangements plus fresh and
imaginative staging which has won
the Chanticleers a triumphant suc
cess in their debut season, the
Knickerbockers present a program
of outstanding musical quality and
visual charm.
^ Like most New Yorkers, the
Knickerbockers hail from every
where except Manhattan. Two of
the singers come from South of the
Mason-Dixon line, the other two
from New England.
Loraine Donahue, who brings to
the Knickerbockers a fresh, lovely
soprano voice, placed first last year
in the Massachusetts Federation of
Music Clubs and the New England
P’ederation of Music Clubs compe-
tions. Last March she appeared on
a coast-to-coast broadcast after win
ning an Arthur Godfrey victory.
She was the recipient of the New
England Conservatory scholarship.
Miss Donahue has recently complet
ed a 13-week run on the “Best from
Broadway” weekly telecast via
WB-TV. She has sung leading roles
in summer stock, and has concer-
tized widely in the East.

brightest vocal ensemble. They will appear October 15th at 8:15 p. m.
in Brevard college auditorium.
Marshall W. Houts, an alumnus
of Brevard college, has written re
cently the book “From Gun to
Gavel,” published by WiUiam Mor
row and Company of New York.
The book is composed of court
room recollections of James Math
ers, of Oklahoma, as told to Mar
shall Houts. It is an extraordinary
story of a lawyer who started his
practice in 1896, not long after the
first federal courts had been set
up in the wild Oklahoma Territory.
Now close to eighty, Mathers
looks back on his remarkable ca
reer and relates his most memor
able cases. Whether it is murder,
bigamy, or tax evasion, the narra
tor’s honesty and the exciting back-
gi'ound give each event a special
interest and unusual flavor.
Marshall W. Houts was born in
Chattanooga, Tenn., and was edu
cated in North Carolina and at the
University of Minnesota where he
studied law. He was graduated from
Brevard coUege in 1937. During
World War II he was a special ag
ent of the FBI and also served with
the OSS. He was decorated with the
Presidential Unit Citation and the
Bronze Arrowhead, and holds two
battle stars.
After the war he returned to pri
vate law practice in Pipestone,
Minn., served as' a special munici
pal judge, and handled investiga
tions for the Court of Last Resort.
He now lives in Tulsa. Okla., with
his wife pd four children. At the
present time he is a guest lecturer
