LANSING HATFIELD BARITONE SINGER TO
APPEAR AT GULLOWHEE THURSDAY AT 8
Lansing Hatfield, baritone star1
of st:-gt\ >creen. and radio, will
sing in the auditorium of Western
Carolina Teachers college Thurs
day nig.'.t at 8 o'clock. His program
will be the last Lyceum number at!
the college this school year.
Mr. Hatfield, who started sing- i
ing at the age of three and then
forgot about singing for 18 years,
has sung in New York's Metropo
litan Opera House, and has starred
in opera in St. Louis, Los Angeles,
San Fransi>ci?, Dallas, and Detroit;
and in Melbourne. Sydney, and
Brisbane in Australia. He has won
acclaim in such stage shows as
"Rose Marie," "The Devil and
Daniel Webster," "Rio R.ta, "Ap
ple Blossoms," and particularly for
his portrayal of the Reverend Da
vidson in "Sadie Thompson." He
has appeared on many sponsored
network radio programs, such as
Ford, Coca-Cola, Chase and San
born, and the Telephone Hour.
Reared and educated in North
Carolina, Mr. Hatfield comes from
the same family as the famous
Feudin' Hatfields. But, according
to his managers, he lets feuding
alone and confines his activities to
singing.
Mr. Hatfield was a school teach
er when he was 16, and a princi
pal of a consolidated school at 17.
He was graduated from Lenoir
Rhyne college, and received his
musical education at the Peabody
conservatory in Baltimore.
Rejected for military service be
cause of a birth injury to his left
arm, the singer went on a volun
tary six-month tour of the South
west Pacific Theater of Operations,
where he sang at almost every post
manned by Americans, and where
his work won the praise of General
MacArthur.
Mr. Hatfield's return to the con
cert stage early in 1945 began with
a "command performance" at the
fourth annual Inaugural Dinner of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
He has sung in every one of the
48 states, and in every province of
Canada; he has appeared in small
towns as well as in cities.
Called "the singer with a prayer
ful voice," Mr. Hatfield has re
corder a total of 52 outstanding
prayers, including President Ro
osevelt's prayer on "D" Day. His
singing of "The Lord's Prayer"
once inspired a New York World
Telegram reporter to say "He sang
it in a way to make a saint of a
sinner."
