LONDON, June 15. A young man, whose treble voice as a boy brought pleasure to millions, aling to a handful of people in St .Mary 'a Chiirch, Aldermanbury, at lunch-time yesterday. But he sang treble no longer. The wonderful voice that made its ownep world famous in "Hear My Prayer" is now a pleasing baritone, moderate in Tange, like, as its owner says,. '' thousands of other baritOnes. " The young man was twenty-five-year-old ErneSt Lough, famous as the Temple choirboy whose records of hymns sold in tens of thousands. He studies hard at his singing. Once a week he has a session with a jnusic mdster. He said to a Daily Express staff reporter after the service* >(1 think my baritoiie voice js getting a little better. People tell Me soihetimes that they h'enr echoes of my old voice when 1 sing. I think they must imagine it. "I,am going to sing at the Temple . Church on Sunday as a baritone. It will be the first time I have sung ihere since my days as choirboy.''
