At his expense a psychologist was called in on the case and a few weeks later the girl was sent home. "She's not completely cured," said the psychologist. "But she's better !" Nelson told me recently that he had never heard from her since. A third case was of a little different nature, but equally embarrassing. And quite as innocently inspired. From time to time Nelson had received letters from a younggirl who said she had been confined to her bed for three years with paralysis. Her one joy in life was listening to him sing. Now she was dying — but she'd die happy if she could only see him and talk with him once. Please, it was such a small thing to ask . . . Nelson's first reaction was one of complete agreement. It was a small thing to ask. Of course! He would be glad to do it ! But then just as he was about to make the trip another installment on the psychologist's bill came due and Nelson thought better of it. The studio secretary wrote a polite note instead. But that was not the end of it. Three days later Nelson heard from the girl's doctor. Please! It was a matter of life or death. He went. He saw. He was almost conquered. The girl was dying of nothing unless it was love. And as for the doctor, there wasn't any. Again Nelson's heels stood him in good stead. THERE were many such cases, but they all duplicate each other. Love-sick minds. Fixations. Frustrations. The new American disease . . . women weaving dreams to the magic of a golden voice . . . Nelson Eddy madness ! Most recent to hit the papers was the case of a nineteen-year-old girl from South Bend, Indiana. She claimed that her interest in him was merely musical. Movie Classic for July, 1936 But what a furor she created when she suddenly displayed her devotion to Nelson Eddy. Whether her interest was merely musical or merely romantic, it played a merry tune on the newspaper cash register. It all started in January when Nelson left Hollywood for an extensive concert tour. Some say that the young lady in question picked up his trail at Los Angeles. Others that she didn't start her pursuit until he left Oakland. At any rate she was there, close behind him, when he pulled in at Columbus, Ohio. She had traveled on the same Pullman, as a matter of fact, and he had given her his autograph. When asked about that, she announced that Mr. Eddy had given it voluntarily. "He Was sitting near me and noticed that I held a phonograph record of one of his songs. He offered the autograph and I accepted. Why, I wouldn't have the courage to ask!" She actually shuddered at the thought of such nerve. Later, at the hotel where she and Nelson were both staying, the reporters again cornered her. But by this time she was indignant. "I like to hear him sing. I study piano. I enjoy music. So why should my interest in Mr. Eddy be misinterpreted. Anyone interested in music might do the same. I do wish you'd stop all this fuss. I'm almost afraid to go home. What will my friends think?" But really, it seemed that she couldn't have been very much worried about that either, because even before the reporters had left she was scurrying around, calling for reservations on the same train that Nelson was taking to Evansville. "Just a minute," asked the gentlemen of the press, "You're not by any chance following Elaine Barrie's example?" "Oh, boys!" she admonished gently. "How could you !" Threat girls and Nelson Eddy trailers ! What wondrous magic in that Eddy voice!
