VICTOR LOMBARDO ... Thename Lombardo
is not new to the management of the Balinese Room.
For if you will think back for a number of years,
you’ll remember Guy Lombardo when he appeared
at the fabulous Hollywood Dinner Club. In those
days, Victor was featured in the band that plays
“the sweetest music this side of heaven.”
Why did Victor Lombardo decide to leave his
brother after eighteen years, and form his own
organization? Well, that’s simple arithmetic.
Coming from a family of musicians, Victor too, is
an artist in the highest sense of the word. Like
anyone with ideals and ambitions, he wanted to
shift for himself, and carve a niche out of life for
both himself and his lovely wife. Victor formed
his own organization about two years ago, and from
his first rehearsal (not engagement) he was bom-
barded with attractive offers from Hollywood and
other big spots throughout the nation. From the
start, Victor has been under contract with Majestic
Records and has a number of “best sellers” to his
credit.
Of medium height, with jet black hair and with
a very congenial air about him, Victor Lombardo
is well known for his unusually fine taste for good-
looking clothes. He’s the kind of a fellow that one
likes to meet and talk to.
His thirteen piece band, together with two out-
standing vocalists, has been a howling success with
B-Room patrons since its opening on January 9th.
Patty Dale, his lovely girl singer, was Miss
Alabama in 1946 Atlantic City Beauty Pageant.
Don Casanave, who does the masculine side of the
vocal chores, is handsome and captivates the audi-
ence every time he steps up to the “mike.”
During his engagement at the Balinese Room,
Victor is being featured over the Mutual Broad-
casting System each Saturday evening from 10:30
to 10:55 C.S.T. If for some reason you haven’t had
an opportunity to dance to the music of this new
“Lombardo” band, then tune in your Mutual station
for a sample of “Music Bright as the Stars . . . soft
as the Moon.”
