Osmond Brothers JoinWilliams, Nero ConcertThe Osmond Brothers, who appear with Andy Williams, by a 32-piece orchestra, Peter Nero at San Francisco's Civic Auditor him this Wednesday at 6:30 and 3:30 p.m., were ‘'born” during the first year of the Andy Williams TV series.Television was a completely new medium io the young boys from Salt Lake City. Young Jay, then 5, was so impressed by the three - cameras that whenever the red light showed on a particular camera, indicating it was hot,” he would immediately turn to face thatcamera. While the other brothers performed to the audience straight ahead, Jay inevitablyplayed to the camera. Thus he gave the director an opportunity to do many novel camera angles and gave the quartet a greater show value.The Osmond Brothers became an integral part of the Andy Williams TV family as the show progressed and their popularity increased.Internationally, they are oneof the world’s top drawing acts. For example, in .Sweden last year as a solo act in a concert program, they performed for crowds exceeding 20.000.Meanwhile, the family has grown and diversified in both number and talent. From their beginnings as a barber shop quartet, they now sing, dance, act, play numerous musical instruments both as soloists and as a group. They have even mastered a skating choreography for the “Andy 'Williams Christmas- Show” to the point where the Ice Capades as well as other international ice shows have offered starring spots in their shows to the boys.There are nine children in the Osmond family, and in natural orogression, each youngster at his own behest, and with Father and Mother’s permission, has joined the act. Donnie joined theact as a regular last season. Now little Jamie, who labour; is knocking at the door while fracturing -audiences everywhere with his “dulcet” tones. The only sister, Marie, age six, works with her brothers but at this point really does not aspire to become an active member of the act.The Osmond Brothers, alongAft „-4 onwith Andy Williams, hold attendance records at stale fairs throughout the country. They have appeared on the “Jerry Lewis Show, “The Golden Globe Awards Show” and they-were regular cast members on the ABC-TV series. “The Traveis ofJamie McPheeters.” for which they received critical acclaim.Tickets for the Andy Williams doubleheader are available now at Macy’s in S.F., San Jose and San Leandro, and-all regular tickets agencies.hypifootardmGrAtpokebledandQuirmerthe-lCokx by Deluxe' 1 Srt# WTS-HittMW PWWGTttlFOXSAN MATEOTHEATREIHEATREREOWOO0 CITYSAN MATEO369-2969•' 34?-9206Both theatres- -weekdays 6:45.
