Hollywood Nightclub Singer Prefers Blue Jeans To Gowns
Hollywood—U.P.)—Beverly Hudson, the 21-year-old cutie who does her nightclub act in $2.95 blue jeans and bare feet, says her corn-fed look didn't go over in Hollywood.
They're making her dress like a
They're making her big city gal now for her singing act at the Mocambo. And Beverly's not happy about it.
"I feel better in blue jeans," pouted the pint-sized red-head, who looks like a pretty Mickey Rooney. "I'm more comfortable. And I sing better when I'm comfortable."
But she's going along with the fancy duds. Because her blue jeans make her movie-star audience uncomfortable.
"You know how vain most of 'em are," she grinned. "They may wear blue jeans and T-shirts around the house themselves. But when they come to Macambo they hate to see a singer wearing 'em."
Beverly really is a little puzzled about the whole thing. She ambled out in her jeans and bare feet at 'Taw York's ultra-swank Copacabana. And the sophisticated broad-wavies ate it up.
But the crowning blow for the barefoot babe came when they put shoes on her. Pixy-like jobs, with outed-up toes.
Miami nightclubbers didn't raise any evebrows, either.
"But here I have to wear black velvet britches," she said. "The glamour touch. And a silk blouse, and a necklace the boss's wife loaned me.
"And you want to hear something funny? She sends a messenger down every night to pick it up."
"I'm no country lass." Beverly said.
"I'm a local girl who had to go to New York to make good. But, I ask you, what's wrong with singing in your bare feet?
"It's not as if I had corns . . . or anything like that."
Besides, she kind of liked the idea of being the only nightclub canary in the racket who didn't have to fork out $1,000 bills for fancy gowns.
"All I needed," she grinned, "was $10 worth of blue jeans and T-shirts. And I could wash 'em out myself.
"But I'm not throwing 'em away.
I still think I got something here. And maybe the next club I work in won't have such fancy ideas."
