O'Banyoun's
observations

=
| have often been asked the
cure for nervousness, stage-fright
in performance. There is only one
remedy that / know, and that is
experience. All of our activities
are the result Of habit. We form
the habit of using fingers on the
piano, using proper muscles of
the face and head in singing, and
in all other walks of life we form
habits which grow to be a part
of our actions. Daily practise is
for the purpose of forming habits.
When you have formed the habit
of performing correctly in your
home and in the studio, it will be
hard for you to perform Incorrect
ly on the stage. Aside from that
little bit of precept, it is only ex-
perience in much performing
which will make you perform
without some feeling of nervous
ness. If there is any other remedy
I have not yet discovered it.

 Seems the players are being ap- preached to play in the "Borscht Circuit Catskill Mountain summer hotels that feature basket ball to entertain their guests !. i. The club owners shudder at the pos- sibility of an S8,000 a season player getting a busted leg or shoulder separation playing on an outdoor court for maybe $l00 a week and they're not sure from the wording in their own contracts that they can torbid such activity.
 Another angle is that most of the players are college boy-waiters and bellhops, presumably playing just for fun. . their eligibility might be tainted by mingling with the pros and the B. A.
