highest uniform salary of any show
this season, according to Mack Hill
lard, their manager
Under the equity scale, girls in
musical plays receive $50 a week in
New York and $35 on the road" says
Mr.. Hilliard, and most managers
conform strictly to that arrange
ment. However, the sort of girls
who work at this ridiculous salary
are not desirable for a high-class
production"
The chorus girls in Peggy are
just as important to the success of
the play as the principals. Every
one has an interesting speaking
part, they all wear different dresses
and hats, and they are paired off in
individual dressing rooms. That's
why 1 pay them regular principal
salaries. I believe in quality, not
quantity"
