The 1955 season will mark Sher man Frank’s first appearance as Musical Director of the Municipal Theater I’nder-the-Stars at the Chastain Amphitheater. Mr. Frank will come to Atlanta this summer with his beautiful wife, Lillian Shelby, and then- daughter Susan Leslie, who was born on February 1, 1955. Sher man met his wife at the Curtis In stitute. where they were both stu dents. Lillian was studying voice. They were graduated together in 19411. Mrs. Frank (Lillian Shelby) has sung with the outstanding op era companies in the country, and has appealed on television with Ar thur Godfrey, Robert Q. Lewis, Jo n Conte and man others. The Franks were married on June 17, 1 f' 51, and Maestro Frank says "Through our mutual understand ing of each other’s problems, we have successfully combined both careers with a most happy family life. This has to a large extent been responsible for our previous successes, and feel that we have a life ahead of many interesting and compatible experiences.” Sherman is an amateur photog rapher. He’s an enthusiastic spec tator of boxing, wrestling and ice hockey. For relaxation, he loves to swim, read, play tennis and ride horseback. He’s a real television fan, and he loves foreign food. He’s very cosmopolitan in his choice . . Italian, French, German, Japanese and Creole dishes all appeal to him. Sherman Frank is quite a fellow. He’s an accomplished musician, who looks like a movie star, talks like a combination businessman and artist, and possesses all the bet ter features of each. We feel that he will furnish that extra addition al spark which will make this sea son in the Municipal Theater Un- der-the-Stars one to be remember ed for many years.
