Eddy quit the newspaper and
his copy desk job and took on
with an advertising agency. Be
cause he could sing, he was
drafted to entertain clients, and
because he devoted more time
to entertainment than to adver-
tising, he was fired. And then
he met David Bispham.

told me I had a voice. With
training I could become a great

Eddy saved and borrowed,
went to Europe, studied and re-
turned to Philadelphia. Because
during his leisure hours he had
studied Bach'S passion music,
he was hired as the baritone to
sing Bach's passion music with
the Philadelphia philharmonic

Nelson Eddy Star With Real
Newspaper Background

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 81 GIN.
SO.-Many of the Hollywood
stars doff their hats to Lady
Luck, but the breaks kept away
from Nelson Eddy's door.
Instead of becoming dis
heartened, he blueprinted his
career, and faithfully followed
the lines of his chart until they
led him to stardom and his
fourth co-starring musical pic
ture with Jeanette Macdonald,
1.-THE Girl Of the Golden West"
when was H." Eddy said
today, 81 was a pretty husky lad
and it was easy for me to get
job in the Mott Iron Works
il Philadelphia. I wasn't Wor-
ried about the future for I be-
lleved I had a singing voice and
might make a success some day.
1.-THE day I went to work in
the Mott Iron Works was the
day I drew a chart for my
career. I graduated from the
iron works to a Philadelphia
paper at a salary Of So a week.
MY mother and I needed no less
than $12 a week to live on, so
I went to work on the side in
the composing rom as a proof
puller at 81 a week. Then the
city editor gave me part-time
job calling up undertakers and
writing obituaries for 81 more
q week."
At IS, Eddy signed up for a
correspondence course in art,
which led him into the art de-
partment as a layout man for
$16 q week. He dropped that
for Journalism and bought a
typewriter.
'I spent hours trying to write
better leads on the stories in
the paper" he said. "I next
heard that another Philadelphia
paper needed a reporter. I ap-
piled, got the job, covering
courts, shipping and police.
Meanwhile, was studying
another correspondence course
in advertising. Also, I was prac-
ticing voice. T bought a phono-
graph and numerous records
sung by Caruso, Bonci, Scott,
Plancon and David Bispham.
With the phonograph I began
practicing infections, tone de-
velopment and the musical lido
syncrasies Of the great singers.
I found I was actually learn
ing how a song should be sung.
The technique and the voice
method came later, but I did
learn my fundamentals from
initiating phonograph records"

Goes
Columbia

A new type Of newspaper re-
porter comes to the screen in
the person Of Fredric March,
after years in which the journal
istic lads have been pictured as
open shirted, Sartorially deficient
characters surrounded by paste
pots and jumbled heaps Of
paper.
Co-starring with Carole Lom-
bard in Nothing Sacred" which
returns to the Columbia Friday
for a repeat engagement, March,
as the star reporter, chases his
story in a high hat and dress
suit. At all other times, save
when he is seen in a hot dusty
small town his wardrobe Is be-
yond reproach.
Practically all Of Nothing
Sacred" has New York for a
background. Night clubs, bands,
hotels, and penthouseS form the
scenes and March and Miss
Lombard move through them all
dressed for the occasion.
Nothing Sacred" Is a hilar.
ious comedy satire Of Manhat-
tan with Walter Connolly,
Charles Winninger, and Make
Rosenbloom featured in the
supporting cast.

Cedric Hordwicke In New P|ov

Tickets are on sale today at
the box office of the National
Theater for the fifth subscrip-
tion attraction Of the season un-
der the auspices Of the Theater
Guild and the American Theater
Society, with the eminent Eng
lish star, Sir Cedric Hardwicke,
in Shadow and Substance" a
vigorous yet very delicately
wrought play of modern Irish
life written by Paul v. Carroll.
The piece was originally pro-
duced at the famous Abbey
Theater, Dublin, during January
1887, and through its beauty and
subtle intrinsic values created a
stir throughout the realm Of
the English spoken-drama.
The selection of Sir Cedric
Hardwicke to illuminate the
central character Of the play
a man Of deep human under
standing confronted suddenly
with problems that for a time
seem beyond his control, was a
most happy one on the part Of
Eddie Bowling, who is listed as
impresario Of the American pro-
duction of Shadow and Sub
stance
To supplement Sir Cedric's
notable performance, Mr.. Dowl-
ing has chosen artists of high
repute, among them being Sara
Allgood, whose highly success
full career has been almost one
with that of the Abbey Theater,
of which she was long ago a
guiding force, and Julie Hayden,
one Of the most promising young
actresses of the present day and
one who has gained repute for

Not The End, Yet

We wonder if official Washington really thought that the summary consideration given Albert Levitt's plea for ousting Of Justice Hugo L. Black from the bench of z the United States Supreme Court several weeks ago would end his efforts in this direction. If 1t did, then 1t knew little of Mir. Levitt or his ability to put on pres- sure against the most overwhelming odds. Folks back here in Connecticut might have enlightened them down in Washing ton. as to this fact. And SO we now find the former law school professor request ing President Franklin D. Roosevelt to take such steps as are necessary to oust Justice Black.
 The fight is only just beginning. Why we can recall when MT. Levitt was Waging war on the late J. Henry Roraback and his electric utilities of this state. As we recall 1t some minor matter started the Levitt drive from Bedding where he re- sided at the time. From purely local difference the battle became statewide and reached goodly proportions. If the powers that were in Connecticut at the time thought that the Bedding professor
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-11-10

could be easily disposed of they were entirely wrong.
 His battle against the utilities con- tinued and made front-page news for days and weeks and months. And the out come was a political faction which did far more harm to the Republican party than it did it good. As matter of fact we really believe that one spike in the republican party's coffin was driven firmly home by MT. Levitt when he was dueling with the late MT. Roraback and his companies. And certainly MT. Levitt returned later on as friend of the demo- cratic party to drive more nails into place.
 His tenacity of purpose should never be questioned after that test in Connecticut. His recent letter to the President is but an indication to this writer that he IS embarked on a long campaign against the Black appointment. The outcome could conceivably be in favor of the Connecticut man.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-11-10
Treaties

Chancellor Hitler announced the other day that his government had concluded a non-aggression pact with Belgium, and this news was regarded in Berlin as "a reply to President Roosevelt's Chicago speech" That is, it was expected to prove the good faith of Nazi peace professions and shame the President for pointing, by implications, an accusing finger at Germany.
 Such an event is interesting and pleas ing, but not altogether conclusive. Ger. many before the World War was bound by treaty not to violate Belgium, and treaties have been regarded more lightly than ever since that war You might al- most say that solemn international pacts nowadays are little more than polite ges- lures.
 There is, however, practical fact that lends credence to such treaty as thlsS between big power and little power If Germany wants to attack France or England, now or hereafter, she doesn's need to march through Belgium. The first onslaught, at least, would be by air. we don't notice any of the powers hurrying to bind themselves not to fly over other countries.

November IS is the deadline for New Britain property owners who have con- sistently refused to pay their water rents. After a long discussion and much re- course to the legalities the city fathers have taken the step that may result in some unpleasant results for somebody. The Board of Water Commissioners and the Board of Health both have allowed the city fathers to take the step they long contemplated. Water will be shut off in the houses of the delinquents on Noven1- Der IS provided they have not paid pay. ments in the interim. Where there are tenants in house in which water will be shut off, they are ordered to leave. Most taxpayers are unwilling to let bill re- suit in such treatment.

Construction of several of the proposed institutions under the states $14, 300 ,0O0 program should be about ready to start now. Earlier this fall Public Works Commissioner Robert A. Hurley an nounced that one-third of the building funds would be spent during the winter months with selected list of projects contemplated. Bids were to be sought and the actual work started before snow flew. Well, the snow hasn't done much flying yet in Connecticut but there's no telling when it will with every amateur weather prognosticator busy prophesying cold and snowy winter. However. we was to get new library, an engineering building, and new steam distribution system. Bids were to be sought for the first named on October 25. In November thereIl be lot of bids sought on 8 di- versity of state projects which should pep up building trades in this state consid- erably.
