when Mitch started to walk

aside and told him: When you

In her emotions, gestures and

both ways. Personally, and per-
haps this will date me, I Love
Sophie.
She came from an era Of show
business In which only the fittest
survived. The single woman"
had to fight for position on the
bill, she had to compete with
stars who bitterly resented any
younger performer who could
stop b show. she had to fight for
sufiicient rehearsal time each

she had to save enough money
out Of her scant apprentice SAL

wardrobes.
That Is the school In which
Sophie Tucker fought her way to
the top. Kids today who click
