"Then I'm glad you didn't know.
1t was noble deed. l hope can
do something for you. Got
some music in this envelope?"
She said she had. She said also
that she played her own accom-
paniment unless he'd rather.
"I'll have to listen in the control
room," he answered, running
through her music. Variety was
not lacking in her numbers; there
were a couple of operate arias, a
hot blues number and an old bal
lad or two.
He selected one. TRY the Puc-
cini first, CALI Curci."
Widmer came through, waved
and disappeared back of a heavy
door, to emerge to view again back
of the controls in the glassed-in
room at the end of the studio.
Kit sat down at the piano and
Vance fixed the mike to take her
voice. He gave her an encouraging
smile and told her to watch his
signal.
She ran through her number on
the piano, saw his lifted hand and
began to sing. Unframed, untried,
her voice was pitiably thin in the
classic.
Vance sat far back in the con-
troll room where she couldn't see
him.
Not so good" he said.

uuircd, without moving his eyes
from the wavering needle before
him.

Kit finished. Healey pressed the
button on the talliback. His voice
came into the studio.
Kit, let's try the blues num-
ber."
She smiled at him uncertainty
and struck low note on the piano,
throwing back her head the way
she'd seen it done. She put all the
tricks she had picked up into her
voice. But it was bad.
THAT be enough?" Widmer
asked without turning, when she
had finished.
mo" Vance replied CURLY.
Again his finger pressed down on
the button that opened the talk
back. Lets have the ballad"
Kit struck a cord and opened
with the soft tones of the familiar
ballad, Loves Old Sweet Song"
She sang it naturally, her voice
free of the self-learned tricks, the
technical errors of the others.
Low and soft, with note of ten
derness, her voice came through
with a kind of husky, hesitant
sweetness.
Widmers mouth went down, his
eyebrows went up. mot bad" he
said approvingly.
Good enough!"
