Entertainment Pair Keeps Pace With Modern Jazz
San Francisco (U.R) Hus-band-and-wife
teams are com
mon in most branches of the en
tertainment world. And, al
though a little harder to find,
there are couples who face to
gether modern American jazz
frantic pace.
One such duo, is Jackie Cain
and Roy Krai, young vocal ar
tists who ply their wares in the
musical vein sometimes known
as "bop."
Jackie, 27, and Roy, 33, have,
over a period of six hectic years,
built both a career and a family.
Their courtship is a "hipster's"
fairy tale.
Roy, an ex-soldier, was doing
arrangements and playing piano
for a radio station when he start-
ed,"going stale." A Chicago Irip
would cure this creative stagna
tion, he felt, so off h went.
In the Windy City, the am
bitious lad landed a keyboard
job at a small jazz-trap called
Jumptown. With the position
came an introduction to a cute,
pixie-type blonde named Jackie
Cain, an ex-Milwaukee school
girl with singing ambitions.
But it wasn't until later, when
both were with Charlie Ventura's
orchestra Roy as arranger and
Jackie as vocalist that the
ierious "courtin' " began.
Says Roy. "I went courtin' in
every city across the nation
and with the same girl."
The over-coffee between one
night stands romance paid off.
for Jackie ar.4 Roy became hus-
h&nd and wife at the University
of Chicago chapel a half-dozen
years ago.
The two put together a pro
gressive jazz vocal duet, with
hurband Roy doubling on piano,
and they've been on the go ever
since.
The couple has a J-year-old
girl, "Nicki," who is a "regular
little mimic."
"She picks up the high spots
of our numbers," says Jackie,
"and goes around the house sing
ing them all day."
The family is kept together on
the road, omething which all
three are thankful for.
This is done, on short jaunts
between dates with the help of
a station wagon that Roy Has
equipped with f.attresse fot the
twe girls. On longer hauls, how
ever, such as the Hawaii stint
they completed recently, differ
ent arrangements are made.
They rent an apartment in
each city, have a piano brought
in and try to find competent
baby-sitters for "Nicki."
"She adapts to our schedule
beautifully. " says Jackie, "the
only problem we have is in the
baby-sitting department."
Home base for these wander
ing minstrels is a home in Long
Island, which, they lament, "we
haven't seen in so long that we've
forgotten what the furniture
looks like."

Krai at work and at play, one
would think that they apply to
their private lives the same
formula they use in selecting
material for their ahows.
"We combine jazz and dra
matics in our routines," says
Roy, "and pick our " songs by
their timing, humor, closeness
(to the audience) and rhythm "

Broup To Resume
Hearings Friday
In New Mexico
Fresno, Calif. (U.R) The
Senate Agriculture Committee,
pared to Chairman Allen J. El
lender, inspected cattle grazing
land and farms in the fertile
San Joaquin Valley today after
gathering more testimony on
farm problems that may explode
politically in the 1956 elections.
The Louisiana Democrat, tem
porarily deserted by his com
mittee members, stayed over
night at Yosemite Valley in the
Sierras before visiting the U. S.
Range Experiment Station north
of Fresno and touring several
farms." The committee resumes
nationwide grass roots hearings
tomorrow in Albuquerque, N. M.
In the seventh hearing yester
day producers of highly-diversified
crops in California, Nevada,
Utah and Arizona suggested stop
gaps for falling farm prices
ranging from 100 per cent of
parity to more favorable weath
er. The testimony" centered
around a bread basket full of
crops that included cotton, milk,
poultry, lima beans, sugar beets,
rice, tomatoes, cattle, fruits, figs,
raisins, sheep, honey and wheat.
Looks for Help
Mrs. Jean Fisher, an Escalon,
Calif., housewife, brought a roar
Pfrom some 300 spectators when
she told Ellender "I wish to God
I knew" what would help the
larmer.
Previously she reported the
WesterrODairyman's Association
asked her to testify about the
plight of the industry because
members couldn t afford the
Igxury of hiring a milkerto
come here themselves."
Mother Nature entered the
committee room when Ellender
was questioning Ed A. Thomas
of Spanisho Fork, Utah, about
100 per cent of. parity.
"It would help too, to get rid
of bad weather," Thomas re
ported. Cotton grower Vernon Davis
of MacSfa, Calif., told the com
mittee it probably is impossible
for "farmers ever to get to
gether and solve their prob
lems." "If you farmers can't get to
gether," retorted Ellender, who
had repeatedly urged witnesses
to state possible solutions to
farm problems, "how do you
think Congress can?"
Unworkable Program
George Schlmyer of Sacra
mento, master of the California
State Grange, described the
present national farm program
as "unworkable and crushing.
the home-owning farmer." He
proposed a limit on parity pro
gram payments, but at the same
time advocated that the govern
ment pay the difference if prices'
drop below parity.
"Isn't that the Brannan Pjn? o
asked Ellender.
Schlmeyer agreed that "Per
haps itwas," and added that
"sooner or later the people are
going to have to come to it."
After the Albuquerque hear
ing the committee convenes in
Dallas, Tex., Saturday for its
ninth session. Ellender is hope
ful the farmer comment will be
helpful to Congress next year
in drafting a new farn price
support bill.'
