the manager who was too astoundcd 20 pro-
test So in this way. Peggy acquired "A thir-
teen piece all male band before she was quite
eighteen
II managed all right" she says. about
that experience. Everything that is, except
the music.
Evidently the music or something else
went a little sour at later interval because
Peggy had nervous breakdown 1t may
have been because she pat two thousand dol
lars into the band venture
For this sum she only got back Il hun
drcd dollars. Even on Broadway this figured
no percentage on her investment as far as
she could see

Peggy not only staked them 10 lunches

This brings up another thing that Perpv's
mother has against the theatre namely Tho
