possible to carry out this feature at Surprisingly little cost to
either the company or to the employees"

cost of the company Rather what the results as these

and looks at the back curtain with
the remark: And 80 this is Paris. l
wonder where the girls are?" and at
that very instant the girls in tights
come tra-la-laing Orwell, Ruby
writes the music for the girls.
In fact he writes music for twenty
six burlesque shows year and nat

heated. They all wait until the last
minute" he Towled the other day
"and then they think l can turn out
music like a butcher turns out sau-
