The following appeared in the Sunday Express (April 23rd): —
“ BEDTIME STORIES.“ The depression has produced some queer happenings in the show business, but the height of something or other is the story in this week’s Variety, the American showman’s bible, about a certain super-cinema in New York.
“ The permanent stock chorus-girls at this palazzo receive less than the minimum scale allowed by Chorus Equity, although they often work fifteen hours a day.
“ They also have to conform to a number of house rules, of which No. 10 is that they must not intermingle or converse with male members of the show.
“ The other week this notice was pinned up on the board: —
“ ‘There will be a cut of 10 per cent. in chorus salaries effective April 6th, at which time Rule No. 10 will be suspended.’ ”
