RED'S RECORD RACK Mathis to Remain On Musical Scene By RED ROBINSON (Vancouver Sun Jan. 17, 1958)    Young Johnny Mathis makes his first appearance in Vancouver tonight. He will be backed up by the wonderful Hi-Los.  The Hi-Los were recently with Carmen McCrae and Ted Heath.    Johnny Mathis is still attending Columbia University in New York.  It's sort of coincidental that he should now record for Columbia records.    Johnny is 21 years old and is destined to remain on the pop music scene for some time.    In nine short months he has scored with numerous ballads with the initial hit being "Wonderful Wonderful."  Since this he has had other 1,000,000 sellers like "It's Not for Me to Say," "Chances Are," and his current hit song could make it too . . . "Wild Is the Wind." LITTLE KNOWN    A little-known fact about Johnny is that he appeared on the screen in a little-known movie called "Lizzie."    Johnny sang "It's Not for Me to Say" in this show.    He was voted the most promising new male vocalist of 1957 by the trade magazines.    He will be heard but not seen in the motion picture "Wild Is the Wind." OLD THEORY    Last week Arthur Fiedler* commented in the press in Montreal that he likes rock and roll and feels that it is an important part of our way of life.    He also said that the people who are yelling that good music is not heard enough are wrong.  He feels that there is a place for everything and that classical or good music sometimes is very boring.    This is history repeating itself.  Leopold Stokowski** stood up for Frank Sinatra during his days as the idol of the bobby soxers.  Mr. Stokowski said that Frank Sinatra had his place on the American music scene as much as classical music.    I think both these gentlemen have proven that there is no mass resentment against rock and roll but slight annoyance at the monopoly rock held on the air and in the music stores. * * * * * Notes: * Arthur Fiedler, conductor of the famous Boston Pops orchestra. **  Leopold Stokowski, famous conductor notably of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and conductor in the Disney film "Fantasia."
