Nelson Eddy
Finds Night Clubs Are Easier Work
By Rael F. Amos
"Nightclubbing is no more strenuous than any other form of entertainment. But they all have their problems." Nelson Eddy told a Daily Kansan reporter this week.
Mr. Eddy, appearing in his second week at Eddy's (no relation) Kansas City supper club, told of the differences in appearing before a university audience and that of a night club.
"Appearing before a college group is more like a concert," he said. "Because of the faculty, it is kept on more of a formal plane. It's the same one I might give at Carnegie Hall."
Although he has given many university concerts, Mr. Eddy has never played at KU. He mentioned that one of his first college concerts was at the University of Missouri.
Mr. Eddy described college crowds as being "sharp, keen and intelligent." He said if they liked a number they would let the performer know, and if one didn't go over, they would politely applaud, but with less enthusiasm. "You can't put one over on a university audience," he said.
Although liking all media, Mr Eddy prefers working in night clubs. "I feel closer to the audience," he said.
For the past six years, since he began the night club circuit, Mr Eddy has been working with pretty blonde Gale Sherwood. Miss Sherwood, who joins Eddy in several of the act's songs, aids in the comedy department, too. Several of the skits kept the diners in more than just smiles.
Next month will mark the sixth anniversary of Mr. Eddys' night club tours, as well as Miss Sherwood's sixth year in the act. Her entrance in the night club act was an experiment, he said. Since then the experiment has proved very successful.

Mr. Eddy, born in Providence, R. I., in 1901, for 25 years has been a performer of formal music. His motion picture career brought him success with his rendition of "Shortin' Bread." It also was one of his big hits in Kansas City.
Still in demand after many years in show business, Mr. Eddy has remained popular with the older set. He is well-known for the many movie and radio presentations of famous musical-comedies with his former partner and co-star, Jeanette MacDonald.
His current night club occupation is a far cry from the famous canoe scene where he and Miss Mac-Donald romantically serenaded each other to "Rose Marie."
Eddy has also recorded numerous popular songs and musicals of the past few decades, many of them with Miss MacDonald. He was one of the pioneer artists of phonograph albums.
Eddy said that this was his fourth season in Kansas City and he hoped he could return to these audiences next year.
Jones Guilty On Parole
Peter F. Jones, Kansas City, Mo, senior, was placed on parole Jan. 22 by the Douglas County Court after he pleaded guilty during his arraignment to four counts of petty larceny.
Jones, a former resident of Battenfeld Hall, was arrested Jan. 12 following complaints by other residents that money was being taken from their rooms.
Sentenced to six months in the county jail, Jones was immediately placed on parole on the conditions that he would make restitution and report to the county attorney once a month.

French Farce Like Silent Movies
A fast French force that employs the same techniques of comedy as the early silent movies will be the next production of the University Theatre.
The play, "An Italian Straw Hat," opens a four-night stand in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building on Feb. 10.
Students may use ID cards to acquire reserved seats starting today
at the University Theatre box office and the Kansas Union concessions counter.
The play, a nineteenth century product from the pens of Labiche and Marc-Michel, has an opening first scene that lasts only one minute. The play is divided into five acts.
Complications in the plot begin when a bridegroom's horse eats an Italian straw hat. The irate lady whose bonnet was lost demands replacement. This sends the wedding
party in search of a duplicate of the rare headpiece.
Director Gordon Beck has pointed out that the only American humor that approaches this style of French comedy is the early silent movie technique, which placed emphasis on visual gaas and situations.
Remembering the rush for tickets for "The King and I." University Theatre officials urge those who are planning to attend to try to get early reservations.
94 Per Cent Pass Western Civilization Test
Ninety-four per cent of the students who took the Western Civilization examination last week passed.
James E. Seaver, associate professor of history and Western Civilization, said that this semester's results were in an almost perfect curve. There were seven A's, 21 B's, 67 C's, 23 D's, and seven F's
Prof. Seaver said, "The variance in the examination is because of the variance of the persons who took it. This curve is just about normal, about five per cent failure and five per cent A's."
The following is a list of the 118 students who passed the examination.
