MAJESTIC AND THE DE ROSES.
On the Majestic Theater of the Air program of
December 15 (9:00 to 10:00 p. m., Eastern standard
time), Wendell Hall will present • and feature one of
radio's pioneer harmony teams in their first appear-
ance over the air after their recent marriage. The
individuals composing this team were May Singhi
Breen and Peter De Rose. Mr. Hall will introduce
them as "Mr. and Mrs." De Rose. May Breen De
Rose has long been known as the "Ukulele Lady."
She has probably done more to promote the use of
the uke as an instrument for the accompaniments of
songs than any other one person. May and Peter
have been a broadcasting and entertaining team for
six years. Peter plays the piano with a professional
charm that makes his accompaniments for their duos
a musical joy.
