Assured by my landlady that I had better investigate this—and do it quick—I was asked by a prominent producer if I knew how to handle girls. “If you do,” he growled, passing my European credentials back “I'll start you in at $30 a week.” I dimly realized that girls were more or less essential in Broadway productions, but had never suspected that a knowledge of how to handle these difficult creatures was necessary in order to make my technical training satisfy the personal problem with the lady who rented reoms over on the East Side, How in the world they were more important to a manager than my musical education I couldn't figure out on the spur of the moment. Furthermore, the drop from $200 to $50 was so volplanic that I saw it would be useless to argue the matter with the frowning czar who was tapping his desk and awaiting my next move. I decided, : : with rare sagacity, to take the plunge. “I know all about them,” I replied briefly. + e ; to me unopened, + : ° * ; “All right. Be here Monday morning at 10 o'clock and try out voices.” For ten years I have now been conducting musical comedy productions on Broadway with more or less success, and the experience has been a veritable mine of interest. Young people and old are still flooding the theatrical district in the hepe of easy success and quick money, as I did myself, totally ignorant of what requirements are necessary in order to make a living in this highly specialized branch of the theatrical world— that of making comedy with musical accompaniment. It seems as if every young girl wifo can sing and likes fun thinks she has a chance on Broadway, not realizing the many fundamental attributes essential to its peculiar brand of success, Girls with no knowledge of acting or dancing imagine that their studio-trained voices will carry them into stardom, Girls who know absolutely nothing of singing, who couldn't carry a tune in one hand, think that their looks will sail them into a leading role, not realizing that diction, as well as dancing, is necessary sometimes to win the game across the footlights. Have you ever heard a chorus girl speak a ‘“‘line’® in a musical production? Have you ever felt like laughing at it? Stop and think. Do you know what her usual pro z cedure is after she has been given that ‘“‘line’® to speak at rehearsal tain went up? It is this: She hustles to the manager or producer and boldly asks for a part in the next show. Perhaps she is placated by the promise of an understudy part, this is a favorite device of managers to keep chorus girls happy. and gets an increase in salary. This is good ambition, but it is nine times out of appalling ignorance of the English language. The idea may pop into her pretty head to take a course in diction. More frequently not. he real chorus girl never gets ahead. 3 The girl who uses the chorus as a stepping stone to bigger things nearly always does. . or before the cur for She usually demands ten miisplaced, because of her DSSS SSF SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSFSSSSOSSSSOSSSOSSES SESS OSOOOHOS WANTED—One capable Manager in every State to] WANTED—Drop suitable for Maric Act.
