what her baby sister had

never dreamt she would
hear such sentiments from

Queenie.
She turned and tripped
rapidly to her dressing
room. She entered, her
breasts heaving and
slammed the door behind
her.
"Hey-what's s the dra-

Queenie didn't answer.
iShe reached for the lotion
to remove the whiting she
had on her manicured toe

A s the final curtain de-

performance, the sound of
the batten meeting the
stage-boards was the signal
for relaxation by all hands,
Two property men were
climbing the rear of the
love boat to help Queenie
down, for limbs like hers
are precious in revues and
must not be jeopardized.
The stage manager was
haranguing one of the
chorines for having moved
during the scene. The
others were starting to
scatter toward their dress

in an upstage spot where
she would not be in the way
