laugh until our sides ache AT
the funny cracks of the leading
comedian, or we split our white
gloves applauding the famous
pianist as she bows smilingiy

apt to say to ourselves:
What a cinch they have!
We envy them the fame and
fortune they derive from a few
pleasant moments of playing
for us, on the stage, on the
screen. on the platform!
We drudge home and go to our
daily grind thinking it's all very
unfair that some are so fortunate
and we are not!
We grumble at the filing cases
we pound our typewriters in
gloom. Life for some is just a
nut, we think while for others
it is a ra, RAJ hooray

a glorious amber highland they
get big pay for that!

The trouble. my dears, is that
we see only the final chapter of
their tedious grind. and in the
triumph of that moment we do
not think of the years of work
that made it possible! The end
less hours of practice, and then
the discouraging hunt for OPP
portunity.
The moment of lights and
laughter and applause are only
the result of the survival from

parent failurei
It's all WORK.-the same as
yours and mine
To succeed on merit at anything
is not easy at any timei

our toes as we dance around, is
working as well as playing!
The night club hostess who has

The show-girl who dares not

of her work sometimes as the girl

brain weary and muscle tagged
MANY times thinking them out

funny often as heel-heavy as the
