CHAPTER 4

DRESS rehearsal-t b e
period of panic and
pain preceding t h e
birth of a show; and OF all
shows, the dress rehearsal is
most complicated, hectic and
maudlin for a revue. With
its myriad changes of set,
scenes and costumes, the
intricacies of blending light
ing effects, the first work
outs of the orchestrations
and instrumental arrange
ments-the authors shouting
that their lines are drowned
and killed, the composers
wailing that their tunes are
tortured, the costumers com
planning against blues and
ambers numbering their color
combinations - oh, it's all
very merry, and it runs from
four hours to forty hours, as
luck would have it.
A confusion of half-clad
girls, property men haul
ing strange pIunder; shift
ers lashing flats of canvas
on wooden frames together,
the pit leader yelling changes
to his boys as errors or dis
crepancies appear in the
scripts of music, lighting ex-
perts screaming to electric
ians at the main board or
manipulating spotlights "a
feverish pandemonium to
drive a man less composed
and experienced than the
great Zanfield crazy.
A stout wardrobe woman
stood bawling at the effemi-
nate dress designer because
he had created such wide
panniers and high headpieces
that the show girls could not
get in and out through the
dressing room door. With an
easy gesture he replied
cattily:
II designed the costumes,
not the building"
Il know that, " snapped
