Relation To 'Nature Boy' Lawrence Woman Claims
By CHARLES R. ROTER
in spite of what he says, Nature Boy may have a relative. Mrs. M. W. McGrew, operator of the Hearth Tea room, claims that she is the foster mother of Eden Ahbez—the "Nature Boy" of Hollywood.
In spite of what he says, Nature Boy may have a relative.
Although he emphatically denies well established that Nature Boy is son of Mrs. McGrew. No conclusive proof has been brought forth, but he has been identified by several persons in Chanute, where he spent his childhood. Certain statements he has made tend to add strength to the argument.
Mrs. McGrew was in California this summer and made an attempt to see her foster son. Her effort was futile, however, because a press agent stood guard over the besieged Nature Boy.
On arriving in Los Angeles, she contacted Nature Boy's brother, who contacted the press agent. The press agent refused to believe that George had relatives, and also refused them permission to see George.
Nature Boy's brother then went to the home (two blankets in a backyard) which Ahbez supposedly frequents. He was again met by a press agent who said that the famed song writer had been so beseiged with fan mail, telegrams, and phone calls that he had just decided to head for a canyon in an "undisclosed area."
Mrs. McGrew returned to Lawrence without seeing Lazar Arizba. Mrs. McGrew said she adopted New York's Erlanger home in New York. He lived with the McGrews in Chanute until he was about 16, when he left home.
rence without seeing Eden Ahbez.
The family saw little of him thereafter, and Mrs. McGrew added, "have not seen or heard of him for the past ten years. It was a great surprise to me to find that he is the author of 'Nature Boy.'"
In commenting on his religious nature, Mrs. McGrew said, "He was always very religious. As a matter of fact I wanted him to become an Epicopal minister. Not George, he wanted to be Bishop or nothing."
He exhibited musical talent from an early age, playing several instruments and having his own band from the time he was 13. "His sister played the saxophone because she wanted to be able to have one instrument that George couldn't play. Instead, he took the instruction book and had the instrument learned in an afternoon while she was away."
