THE LOMBARD ENTERTAINERS …
One of the most interesting attractions before the public today is the LOMBARD ENTERTAINERS. Their extraordinary programs are proving their popularity everywhere.

The Lombards are equipped to please with showmanship, talent and personality. Their present success is possible because of a background of professional stage and radio experience.

These artists are at home before any kind of audience and their happy combination of the classics and musical sketches will charm with their refreshing quality.

Lela Lombard is very versatile and excels in monologues, whistling solos and piano solos. She was a pupil of Emil Liebling who in turn was a pupil of Liszt.

Harry Lombard was baritone for eight years with the English Opera Company, and is widely known not only as a singer but as a comedian of high rank.
