and singing in a Chicago cafe, work
ing ten and twelve hours a night, got
money enough to reach Liverpool and
applied to the manager of music hall
for job.
He looked them over and engaged

your act? said he.
They had been used to working all
night and did not know what to say.
Finally, after consultation, one replied:
ooh, about twenty-five minutes"
TWENTY-FIVE minutesw exclaimed
the manager. "Why, my dear sir. ours
Is a very long bill. I cannot give YOU
twenty-five minutes. I would suggest
that you go on for eight minutes
