Fannie s face changed from
annoyance to pain. A tre-
mendous hammering rever-
berated through the hollow
house. Eddie looked up petu-
lantly-up in the flies the
stage carpenter was mailing
some canvas on a frame. The
the girls were still singing
away for dear life, trying
to top the clatter and still
stay in their tried-and-
trained range. To the relief
of everyone the vocal part
ran out and they tore into
their dance, their forte. With
all the verve possible, they
tripped and tapped. Fannie
looked-tried one more
glance-then actually put
his hand over his eyes. With
the other he made the dead
ly downward gesture. The
director whistled to the pi-
anist, who stopped with the
suddenness of a four-wheel
brake taxi. Eddie tried to
voice a protest, but no sound
came.
The director called to the
girls:
"Mr. Zanfield's seen
enough and thanks you very
much. He II let you know. ="
He II let you know" is
goodby in the sweet lexi-
con of the stage. Even the
Mahoney Sisters knew that.
Hank started toward Zan-
ME. But the director shouted
"All right, girls-everyone
on"
And some 60 scampered
from all angles to find their
places in the formation,
cutting Hank off and all
but crushing the sisters in
their stampede. Queenie
was carried near to Zannie'S
desk. Eddie was talking
now, pleading for the girls

Fannie took his cigar be-
tween his fingers, and, with
a shrug of his shoulders,
cut him off as he said:
Il could use the blonde.

Queenie heard. She turned
with a grieved expression,
looking for Hank, who was
taking it out on every girl
within hearing. She elbowed
her way to the piano and
began gathering up her
music. The pianist, hard
boiled and stage-sore as lie
was, shook his head in SYM
pathy. "He should O. seen

"even if the act was punk" !"
Hank flared at him, "Who

blonde, with mischievous
mock-charity, gurgled, eve

was swell. " The words
were scarcely out of her
mouth before Hank was at
her, music roll on high. The
blonde, terrified, tried re-
treat. but as she lodged the
roll Hank caught a handful
of her bleached hair in the
other hand. The pianist
seized them both to separate
them.
Eddie rushed over to help
break the assault. He threw
his arms around Hank s
waist and pulled her back
She released her hold.

and high elation they had
shown in their room, when
they cast behind them a
vaudeville route to chance
their future on the verdict
of the mighty Fannie, evap-
grated as they entered the
temple of revue's high
priest. Eddie, compelled to
finish the number, motioned
to them to wait, and as soon
as the last bar tinkled off,
he darted toward them.
The 16 working on the
apron of the stage were

was a giveaway - these

brass to think they would

was trying not to choke as
she pointed them and the
facts out to her sisters of
the chorus.

Queenie, in the excite

He looked up, annoyed, but
when he saw who it was he
smiled.
II heard you say, Mr..
Zanfield, she said, in a
low tone, "that you could
use me. Wouldn't you'll
want to ask you if you'd
take the two of us-at the

Zannie's features first
showed amusement. Then

Before them, came in
hand, Eddie Kerns, composer
of the theme song to which
this dance was one of the
encore numbers, was render
ing his idea of interpreting
with feet and forms the
spirit Of his syncope. The
director, who had laid out
the conception, stood criti-
cally by to visualize the ef-
feet. Fannie was eyeing it
all, seeing in imagination
the costumes he was plan
ming. At a piano, to the
side, in shirt sleeves, sat a
youth, starting, stopping,
accelerating, retarding, as
orders were barked at him
by Eddie or the director.
Eddie, facing the dark
auditorium, turned to do a
half whirl, and saw in the
dim wings, entering in street
attire, the Mahoney Sisters.
They threaded their way
through the labyrinthian
mazes of stacked scenery,
props and electrical miscel-
lany. Hanks hands were
numbered with music roll
and a handbag, while
Queenie, the younger, car
ried nothing but a worried
and nervous expression. For
the Mahoney Sisters, small
timers, we're treading toward
the threshold of Fate.
The jocund confidence
The Washington times., 1929-03-26

Its all right, whis-
perede Eddie. Il just got
to tell Fannie, that's all. -
The dance director loudly
shouted to him-"Hey-'
Kerns-back in the number
what the And Eddie,
with a gesture of "Wait a
minute" scurried forward.
Fannie arose and took po-
sition facing the line. The
blonde laughed alou& and
Hank gave her one of her
best supper-show glares;
she was no amateur to be
razzed by chorines-she was
to be a principal; those
fresh trails would find out
pretty quick, they would.
Fannie didn't even see
Eddie as he fell into the
movement. He was hotly
disagreeing with Fannie, who
pointing and pantomiming,
was indicating exactly what
he wanted changed.
This ended, Fannie strolled
back toward his desk, Ed
die jaywalking to intercept
him. Fannie stopped, saw
it was Eddie, kept on walk
ing. Eddie followed timidly
and stood looking at the
back of the great producer s
head.
Hank, meanwhile, had
hoped on the pianist the
moment his hand slid off
the keyboard. She was
handing him the Mahoney
Sisters music, explaining to
him certain accents, cues and
tempos written in. She
hooded to Eddie that she
was all set, and he, with
a cough, leaned over Zan-
nie'S shonlder and asked him
if he would now hear the
Mahoney Sisters. "Mahoney
Sisters? Who are they?
Never heard Of them" " an
swered Fannie, without look
ing up from a scene design.
Everyone heard. A snicker

asked, "Where2"
Queenie was just opening
her dress, a one-piece af-
fair. AS the famous con-
noisseur of femininity turned
his eyes, she dropped her
frock and stood, unsconsci-
Gus of his scrutiny, in her
revealing practise duds. Her

foremost specialist on that
type of merchandise. He
recognized Immediately what
Broadway calls "a good
bet. :"
"AlI right he said,
"let's see what else they've
got. Come on--Mahoney
Sisters.
Eddie rushed to Hank,
who with trembling fingers
started opening snappers.
"You re in" he said in her
ear. II told him all about
you"
The blonde, as though by
accident, tipped Hanks
open bag off the shelf of
the open grand piano, and
sent its contents down onto
the taut wires. Eddie
sneaked downstage, to stand
near Fannie. The director
called to the pianist-Well,
let's go. Time costs a lot
O. dough here
The piano-player struck a
chord. 1t sounded like a cat
with a tincan on his tail,
crossing brick yard. Every
one grinned. He tried again,
then looked into his instru-
ment and found Hanks COM
pact and keys tangled into
his vibrators. A property
man had to be called to get
them out. Meanwhile Hank
was fuming, Fannie was
peeved and Eddie was dying.
At last-zannie having lit
a big cigar to sustain him
and the accompanist went
into the "vamp."
The sound of their IA
mlliar music transformed the
Mahoney Sisters. Almost
mechanically they slid to
their places, struck their set
posture and the trick prop
smile, the unsubtle swinging
of shoulders to register pep,

Radiance lighted her
lovely young face.
"You-you won't let her
know you-that it isn't the
both of us you want, will
you, please?"
He patted her arm.
"Of course not" he said.
You re a sweet kid. Run
along now. Tell your sister
to see me-later."

LONDON. Jan. 1s.-tPt-A battle
in the courts between General Bran
we'll Booth and those who seek to
Gust him from command Of the Sal
walton Army was forecast by prac-
tically all Of this mornings news
papers. At the same time a dis
patch to the Daily Herald from Sun

been Summarily suspended by the

Colonel Samuel Tucker, who was
chief Of the intelligence department

stated to have been removed from

have been succeeded BY Colonel Gun

not named. II was stated that he

The Herald said that disciplinary
action would probably be taken BY

generals reply to the high council
