Nancy Lindsey Appears On TV As American Royal Princess
Being on television and radio was a "great thrill" for Nancy Lindsey, College junior, who represented Lawrence at the American Royal in Kansas City. Mo., the past week.
Nancy was one of five girls chosen
Nancy was one of five girls chosen from the 45 queen candidates to appear on WDAF-TV and one of five to be interviewed on radio station KMBC.
"It was the most wonderful week I ever hope to spend in my life," Nancy said. "We attended an array of luncheons, dinners, and received many gifts of perfume, clothes, powder, and hosiery from the Kansas City firms."
NANCY LINDSEY
Nancy was one of nine princesses chosen to ride on the queen's float in the big Royal parade. Candidates were selected after two careful tests. One was a formal judging
last Saturday and the other was an interview conducted with each of the candidates to determine talent and other attributes.
Nancy was most exhilarated by the gorgeous costumes which the girls wore. Each princess wore silver crowns and carried pink American beauty roses.
She met many celebrities including: Gov. Frank Carlson of Kansas, Republican candidate for governor of Kansas, Ed Arn, Sen. Harry Darby, and millionaire Blevins Davis of New York City who planned the elaborate American Royal coronation ball. Blevins has produced many successful plays on Broadway including "Rhapodsy."
"Everywhere the queen candidates went Kansas Citians and persons visiting the Royal were extremely nice," Nancy said. "We stayed at the Hotel Continental and were given escorts to the many events."
Nancy returned to Lawrence before the Royal was over because of her school work and because she was to appear in the Jayhawk Follies Oct. 20. Nancy gave a comical routine act in the Follies.
At the talent show which was one of the deciding factors in picking the queen and her court. Nancy gave a speech on the K.U. football team. Nancy's father, Adrian Lindsey is a former football coach of the University. Some girls sang, played musical instruments, or gave speeches.
"One of the most impressive things I've seen was the coronation ball in Kansas City's Municipal auditorium," Nancy said. "It was simply out of this world."
Movie Stars' Children Aren,t Brats Just Kids, Camera Woman Says
Hollywood—(U.P.)—Comes now a word in defense of movie stars' children. Lynn Edwards, who takes their pictures, said they are not either brats.
"They're just kids," she shrugs. "A little more hammy than other peoples', maybe. But they're not spoiled monsters."
This is slightly revolutionary in a town where sales ladies and tutors and governesses rant on about their "problem charges." To hear them talk, you'd swear Hollywood kids have to be nasty just because their parents are rich and famous.
Miss Edwards, a woman who looks so much like Ingrid Bergman she's getting tired of hearing about it, says no such thing. And she ought to know what she's talking about.
She specializes in shooting mopps (with a camera, that is.) and most of her customers are the sheltered offspring of tinsel-town big
"They don't give me any more trouble than other kids," she said. "Oh . . . once in a while I get kicked
in the shins—but that talent's not confined to Hollywood children.
"I treat them all alike. I'm not impressed because their father owns a Cadillac and makes maybe $5000 a week. And the minute they find that out, they behave themselves."
There's just one beef Miss Edwards has with Hollywood's second generation: They know too much about her business.
"They hear it at home all the time," she explained. "Father—or mother—comes home and talks about lighting and camera angles and how to project personality. If they're at all bright they pick it up."
"And it makes them a little hammy. I've had one or two tell me how to line up a shot. But so far I've managed to keep from turning them over my knee."
