Tap, Harmonica Team Talk Freely of Travels As natural and friendly as your next door neighbor were Draper and Adler, famous tap and harmonica team, who ar rived in Eugene Monday afternoon to open the University’s 1942-43 Greater Artist concert series in McArthur court that night. Exceedingly eager and talkative about their tour, they reached the Eugene hotel accompanied by Mr. Draper's wife and their pianist, John Colman, y^ho disappeared for the time _ ile Adler, nicknamed the “verch" (for virtuoso), began a discussion of the team’s concert life. Off to England “Larry and I are anxious to get to England to play for the troops over there,” said Adler, explain ing that they would leave just as soon as their 20 remaining con certs included in this tour were completed. “Service men are our favorite audiences,” he continued, “and those boys really know good mu sic.” In regard to his reaction to Oregon. Mr. Adler said that what had witnessed coming through the mountains of southern Ore gon was the most incredible scen ery he had ever seen. Draft Status—3A Speaking of the war and their draft status, Mr Adler said, “Since we are both married we are both 3-A, but Draper is a lit tle 3 ‘A-er’ than I, because I have a three-year-old daughter.” The only very noticeable effect the war has had so far for Adler is that his supply of Hohner har monicas has been cut short. Since these came from Germany, he can no longer change them after every performance. While talking about other sub jects including Hollywood, which, incidentally, both artists dislike, Mr. Draper and Richard C. Wil liams, educational activities man ager, entered. The former was intent on learning just how to reach Cor vallis, where their next perform ance would be given.
