Brownie and Bunny of “ The Follies ” 281 “Then,” said Brownie, “buy yourself some clothes.” “And last of all,” said Bunny, “when you can’t think of anything else, pay the rent.” These daughters of night and laughter were not always so. The ‘Follies’ is their first show. Less than a year ago New York and Chicago and the Drama were not even dreams to them. They were Ohio home girls, friends since they were ten, wearing fraternity pins and going to bed at twelve. But one day Brownie read a magazine and discovered that Columbus, 0., was only a minor metropolis. She would investigate the world. She telephoned to her inseparable : “Hello, Bunny. Wanta go to New York City?” “Yes. When? To-morrow?” “No; to-day.” “Sure!” “And for four months in New York.” Brownie told me, over her dietary crisp bacon and Melba toast, “life for us was just one party.” “Then,” sighed Bunny, “our money gave out.” “And a nice man,” Brownie went on from there, “who lived near us in New York and edited a smart magazine, said, ‘Why don’t you girls go into the ‘Follies’?” “ ‘Why don’t we go into the First National Bank?’ I asked him. “ ‘Oh, I’ll introduce you to the “Follies,” ’ the editor said, and gave us a note.” “We spent an hour,” Bunny confessed, “deciding what we’d wear.” “Is the wear important when a girl seeks a place with Ziegfeld?” I was curious to know.
