But there was a time when he sang bass reg- ularly. It was the nd opera star, Galli-Curel, who put him on the right track. At the time Maxwell was & student at Kenyon College, Gambier, ohln md sang bass glee club. Gllll- Curci heard the glee club sing one night and remark- | ed to one of her friends “That man isn't A bass; hes a tenor.” And just to prove that what she had sald was true she went back stage after the concert and heard Max- well sing. When he had finished there wasn't any question in her 2 mind or the minds of the others present that Maxwell's voice was, undoubtedly. tenor. From that day to this Maxwell has sung tenor, although his singing career was seriously interrupted by I.h! war. He dropped everything to enlist when America entered the war and was a full-fledged pilot when the armistice was signed. Since then he has been on the stage, on the air and in_business. His first stage appearance was as understudy Steele in the ' Later he w "ThP Lady in Ermin After that engagement he tired of the stage and decided to go Into business. For three years he sold real estate in Mansfield, Ohio. But it wasn't as roseate as he had pictured it, so he closed his office and returned to Ne York. After several concert engage- mrnt.t he began appearing before the microphone. This led to a contract calling for regular appearances. R R B. C. has arranged to put on the « air, beginning June 6, five of the Summer concerts of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. An orchestra directed by Alfred Wallenstein witn Countess Olga Albani as soloist, has replaced the “Famous Trials in His- tory” series on WRC and umei-ud stations.
