veyed to the hospital. Spencer was
unable to give the AFRO any in
formation as to Miss Crump's mo-
tives.
Hospital authorities told the
AFRO that after the young woman
had been treated she suddenly
changed her mind about wanting to
die and begged physicians to help
save her in time for her to continue
her tour.
Perching nonchalantly on the
side of an emergency cot she BAN
tered her doctor, saying, Hurry
up, Doc, and patch me up, I've got
to play an engagement tomorrow
night"
you're lucky if you play any
more engagements" she was told.
But nevertheless she was on
hand when her troupe left for
Frederick, Nd, to play a dance
engagement on Monday.
Orchestra members advanced
the theory that Miss Crump was
under a tremendous nervous strain
as the result of more than a year
of unbroken work in dance halls
and theatres which has carried her
from coast to coast.
II was just jittery," was her
only explanation.
