JOHN TYERS John Tyers, baritone, will be fea tured at the next and last Commit-1 nity Concert of the season at eight! o'clock Monday evening. Born in a little Kansas town, | •John Tyers was brought up in Los Angeles and graduated from the : San Diago State College. Strangely enough, his goal in life was a diplo- j matic career, but participation in | musical events at school revealed his voice, and he was encouraged to j come east and enroll at the Juiiliard School of Music in New York. His first professional engage-; ments were .at- the New York World's Fair and with the.St. Louis and Louisville summer companies, as : well as the leading role in the Los Angeles Light Opera production of "Gypsy Baron." During the seasons of 1942 and 1943, John Tyers sang the role of Figaro in the stream lined modern version of "The Mar riage of Figaro" with the Nine O'Clock Opera Company which, un der the auspices of Columbia Ar tists Management, toured from coast to coast with enormous suc cess. War interrupted the career of the young baritone, and he served for almost three years. Naturally, his special talents were utilized, and he participated in the eminently suc cessful air force show, "Winged Victory." Later, he toured the en tire Pacific theater with another unit. Returning to civilian life, John Tyers was immediately engaged by the Los Angeles Light Opera Com pany to sing the leading roles in "Vagabond King" and "Gypsy Lady," the latter of these two works had a successful run on Broadway during the season 46-47. At its close, John Tyers went to England to sing the leading role in the same show produced there un der the name of "Romany Life." Last fall and winter, the dashing ( y»ung baritone re-establshed him-: J self as a concert favorite on a trans continetal recital tour. This past spring, he assumed the singing lead in the highly successful Lea Billie musical, "Inside U. S. A," which he left a new phase in his interest ing career, his debut in Grand Op-1 era. The famous New York City1 Center Opera Company engaged, him for leading roles in "Eugen Onegin," "The Marriage of Figa ro," "Madarna Butterfly," and "I Pagliacci."
