When Ray Noble, celebrated young British conductor, composer and arranger, was brought over from England, the musicians' union and others said "no." And so Ray went out to Hollywood where they consider merit more important than passports. Meanwhile friends of the Englishman in New York were busy trying to fix things up.

Not many nights ago (Continued on page 89) "I'm glad you came over to visit me while you wash your dolly's clothes, Sally. Let me lend you some soap." "No, thanks — I brought my own kind along — 'cause I don't want Arabella's clothes to do any tattling on me." "But my mommy's clothes are white as anything — 'cause she's smart. She uses this Fels-Naptha Soap! Smell? That's naptha, mommy says — heaps of it." "M-m-m! So that's why Fels-Naptha gets all the dirt. I wonder if . . ."
