Facing the Music
(Continued from page 12)
gantuan and painstaking — so demanding that no other similar organization has yet challenged Spitalny.
Phil traveled coast to coast, interviewed 1,200 girls in six months. He finally selected twenty and brought them to New York. Today a dozen of the original applicants are still with him.
The average age of the Spitalny group is twenty-one. Ninety per cent come from small towns.
On the road, the girls follow three strict rules:
1. No dates except if approved by the governing committee.
2. No crying. Cry babies are promptly liquidated.
3. No lateness. A Spitalny-ite who is late once is fined a dollar, twice, ten dollars, and a third time, is dismissed.
Phil finds little difference between men and women musicians. "Girls are no different from men in this work. There are the same complaints, the same problems. But girls take more pride in their work, they'll take more grief, will rehearse harder."
Phil admits that there have been twenty recent attempts to duplicate his orchestra. None have succeeded.
