Leading Ladies
ON the night of June 15, 1953, Ethel Merman and Mary Martin sat on a couple of chairs in front of television cameras and demonstrated that skill and sheer personality which has made them the two leading ladies of musical comedy in America, A recording of that memorable performance will be broadcast in YA Theatre of Music on Saturday, August 18. The buzz-saw voice of Ethel Merman will be heard in numbers such as "There’s No Business Like Show Business," "I Got Rhythm" and "The Sheik of Araby," while the more lyrical Mary Martin puts over "Wonderful Guy," "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" and "Wait ’Til the Sun Shines, Nellie."
