  Broken Ankle Starts Career

  Mary Ann Mercer, Ayres' Vocalist, Was Dancer First

 Mary Ann Mercer, brown-eyed, auburn-haired songstress with Mitchell Ayres' Junior Prom orchestra, broke into the singing field by breaking her ankle. 
 It all goes back to when Mary Ann was at the University of Michigan, officially listed as a pre-medical student. At that time she was a talented dancer, but had given no thought to supplementing her terpsichorean talents with vocalizing. 
 During her dance routine one night at a Michigan social function, she slipped and snapped her ankle, but adhering to the tradition that "the show must go on" she in desperation finished with a song. 
 Vincent Lopez auditioned the young almost-medico and was so favorably impressed that he took her with him on his engagement at the Chez Paree. 
 Then she really began her climb toward stardom, with bookings with the Yacht Club Boys, Club 18, Leon and Eddie's and finally with Mitchell Ayres. 
 Her appelation of "Mother Mercer," applied by the members of the band, is cloaked in mystery, although Ayres stoutly maintains that she gained it by darning the socks of the whole outfit!

Publicity shot of Clark A. Yocum | Taken at Paramount Studios in 1941 in conjunction 
with filming of "Las Vegas Nights" with Tommy Dorsey Orchestra

   summer 1940 ----- Frank Sinatra was supposed to record "Only Forever" but had to leave the studio. Allan Storr is Dorsey guitarist Clark Yocum, who recorded the tune under the name of Allan Storr. Yocum replaced Billy Wilson as a member of The Pied Pipers in August 1940.

-----  Tommy Dorsey fired Frank Sinatra again, this time for causing Connie Haines to break into tears during a Virginia Beach location engagement due to his constant taunting. Dorsey screamed at Sinatra, "You've done that one time too many with her." Dorsey immediately hired Allan Storr as his replacement, who recorded "Only Forever." Storr was soon replaced by Ken Curtis (who later played Festus in "Gunsmoke," the longest-running western series in TV history), who recorded "Love Sends a Gift of Roses." After a few weeks, the obvious difference between them and Sinatra became intolerable to Dorsey. He contacted Sinatra, and according to Haines's pecollcetion, Dorsey told him, "You go and apologize to the little gal. Then you can come back to work."
