Lynn Hope
Gets Band
Back Again
ClNClNNATl—Bandleader Lynn
Hope Isn't one to rit around and
long for the popularity that he onre
enjoyed Out of action and miss
ing from the music world for the
past few years he's called together
several termer members of his band
and is preparing for a comeback.
If you visited Philadelphia's Show
Boat nitaclub ten years ago when
Hope’s name was on the marquee,
then you were lucky to get into
tha club. A money in the bank at
traction. his popularity earned him
over 4500 weekly in cases without
a record hit to his name.
However, in recent years a series
of misfortunes, both personal and
professionally, caused him to pass
out of the limelight For the past
two years he's lived here with the
burning ambition to one day recap
ture the approval of the erwds that
packed into spots when his band
played.
Now ready to start life anew,
Hope has gathered around him bis
sister Mary, wh oplays piano, bro
ther Billy, drums, and Vernon,
trombone. With them as a nucleus,
he's added a guitar and bass fiddle.
Hope himself plays tenor saxaphone
and vibes.
Only time will tell if he has still
retained the magic quality that
made a big name a decade ago.
Only time can tell and the ring of
a nightclub owner's cash register
will civ ehim the decision.
