Time Out for Comedy
Irvington Singer Defers Weighty Work for Corny Vocalizing in 'Pal Joey'

Norman G. Van Emburgh, owner of the busiest tenor voice in Irvington a dozen years ago, stepped into a new singing role this week, but not the one envisaged by small fry companions who tagged his "Caruso" in school days.
Temporarily shedding his inclination to deliver weightier musical goods, Van is singing one of the score's more important tunes, "Flower Garden of My Heart," with June Havoc, a featured player in the George Abbott Broadway musical, "Pal Joey."  he replaces Nelsen Rae, who has been drafted.
The rendition, a deliberately corny one that has Miss Havoc falling off a bench when Van suddenly rises, is something new to the heretofore --ricus young man who performed with Schumann-Heink and Jeritza in the opera "Anninna," New but pleasant, like the applause in the middle of the song.
"It was the first time I ever heard applause in  the middle of the song," Van Emburgh says, "and I was so disconcerted I almost stopped singing.  In everything else I've been in, the applause, if any, comes at the end."
Van Emburgh was graduated from Irvington High School in 1929.  he lived, and his mother still does, at 63 Newton Place, where neighbors early became accustomed to an active- "he was never quiet"- and enterprisingly voice.  He sang for many years in the choir of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Newark, and later in the high school glee club and Irvington Community Chorus.
Last Christmas Eve he returned to sing with the St. Andrew's choir.
The story of his entree to the professional field will be disappointing to those who relish a tale of dogged perseverance triumphant in the face of adversity.
Fresh out of a job as weighmaster in a Newark coal yard in 1931, Van was walking the streets in New York looking for a job, any old job. As he passed the Royal theater, now the CBS Theater, he heard the strains of  " The Mikado," and old friend in which he had performed in countless amateur productions.
While an indulgent stage door attendant looked the other way, he walked into the rehearsal, met Director Frank Shea, sang a few notes and was hired on the spot.
Later he joined the Aborn Opera Company in Gilbert and Sullivan productions; sang with Fortune Gallo's open-air theaters at Jones Beach and Randall's island and appeared in "I'd Rather Be Right" on Broadway and  " American Jubilee" at the World's Fair.
