Nelson Eddy, Popular
Baritone, To Sing in
Detroit on April 18
Lillian Roth Held Over
For Second Week
At Club Casanova
Nelson Eddy, who, according
to "Variety," is the No. 1 box-
office attraction in the United
States, believes hard work is the
only secret of success. He left
school at fourteen and has been
working ever since. The greater
his success, the more he works.
Favorites of his concert re-
pertoire are the Lord's. Prayer,
the Figaro aria from "The Bar-
ber of Seville," and the Evening
Star from "Tannhauser," though
audiences usually demand as en-
cores numbers from his films,
such as "Sweet Mystery of Life"
from Naughty Marietta," "Will
You Remember" from "Maytime,"
or patter songs of Gilbert and
Sullivan.
The American baritone will ap-
pear in recital in Detroit at Ma-
sonic Auditorium on Thursday
evening, April 8. Tickets may be
secured at the box office, Grin-
nell's Music Store, 1515 Wood-
ward Avenue.
Union Roth, charming singing
star of Paramount Pictures, has
been held over for a second week
by popular demand at Lowell
Bernhardt's Club Casanova. Her
numerous film triumphs include
"Sing You Sinners," "Vagabond
King," "Love Parade" and 'Para-
mount On Parade." On the air,
she has been featured on the
Camel Caravan programs and on
the Eddie Cantor show. For her
second week, Lillian will have
the support of such show lumi-
naries as Munro and Adams, out-
standing novelty jugglers; Jimae,
master of ceremonies and magic;
Michael and Georgia, adagio and
ballroom (lancers, and Dottie
Dawn, whirlwind acrobatic and
tap dancer. Eddie Camden and
his "shuffle rhythm" orchestra are
new arrivals on the band stand.
That special downtowners dinner
show at 7:30 nightly is being
well patronized. Arlene Thomp-
son, glamorous song stylist, heads
the big new Casanova floor show,
opening monday.

There's an old familiar face
in the Gene Fenby combination
of vocal and instrumentalists,
playing in the New Continental
Room and Fiesta Bar of the
Savarine Hotel. It's that of
Herm Ziehl, star accordionist,
who was with the band when it
was first organized but left short-
ly after. Because of Benby's re-
cent draft losses, he was able to
persuade Ziehl to return to his
former spot. This week Ziehl fea-
tures a special arrangement of
"Poet and Peasant Overture."
Dick Winkler, harmonica wizard
and the Savarine's popular mas-
ter of ceremonies, has been called
into the army. Sally Romine,
