After fifteen weeks of constant practice right boys staged a convocation for Columbus High S< bool student-, .... surprisingly enough the show went over with a Ihui'j; and why not, they emptied a whole box of .*2 blanks. After that the Nlk-kers were on their way to fame and fortune—well on their way anyway. The disorganization grow until there were 14 members, and while in Indianaixdls for the Sahara Grotto, Barney Burnett of the Burton Theatrieal Offices saw them amt wired them saying, “How would you boys like to play on Broadway?” The boys wired back, “What, in all that traffic.” Thus they missed their first chance. Their second chance for a Broadway show came shortly afterwards, and they took it. It was a show for the l.lks of Shelbyvllle, located on Broadway Street. Most remembered show was Bloomington where people stayed away in big crowds . . . Highlights of their short but successful career . . . playing before veterans of both Indianapolis Hospitals . . . hooked on the same bill of variety show featuring Merle Travis, Capital recording star , . . performed before members of Indiana Theatre Owners convention • ■ • Kiwani* and Lions state conventions . . . big highlight was when Spike Jones asked four members of the gagregation to be his guest at this ‘'Musical Depreciation Revue" in Chicago . . . the Slickers have many hobbies, among them are taking crackers to licit (Mre crackers) , , . and colh-cting pipes—gas pipes, water pipes, steam pipes and sewer pi|>es , . .
