Eddy. whose vital young voice had
been successful in many a concert and
opera performance, found his bookings
doubled when this money situation de-
veloped. Standing at the beginning of
things as he did, he knew it was more
important that the world know him
than that they pay him the most exor-
bitant sums for that knowledge. His
heart and soul told him to sing and
forget depression-to make human lives
happier because of his gift. So he took
one engagement after another and sang
his heart to those people who needed
music to brighten what had become a
pretty sorry world.

q dog and a well established routine as
householder, which he enjoys to the
utmost, he is on his way to becoming
one of our new armament.
He is spending his time while waiting

Conrad Nagel is one of the only blonds

oring than red He has the f1exibility
of feature and sudden changes Of ex-
preston that should go well in the

Philadelphia publications, but just
couldn't stop singing in the editorial
