A dance number is what their mentor, called it. mad per The girl HOLLYWOOD, Cal, shorts Miss. Merriel Abbott, Tt looked to me like a routine designed for slightly ns who wish to knock themselves out spectacularly. nine of them, were doing a conga affair embellished by “splits” and ‘aerials” and other contortions and when they landed resoundingly on the floor, all together, it hurt. Me, not them. They just bounced up and kept on dancing. You've seen them before, these Merriel Abbott Dancers, in the Jack Benny movies. You'll see them again in the Benny- Fred Allen piece, “Love Thy Neighbor,” wherein this conga num- ber will be one of their specialties. The Abbott Dancers don’'t have to dance. They're taught dancing by a woman who doesn't have to teach dancing, either. They dance, and Miss Abbott teaches dancing, because the whole she-bang just plain likes dancing. My girls — I mean most of them — could live at home very comfortably without working,” cays Miss Abbott, a nice- looking matronly type with steel-grey hair. “My husband is a successful orthopedic surgeon in Chicago. So there's really no reason for our working except that we all love it. I've thought of giving it up, but I can't — like ti too much.” Miss Abbott is the touring “foster-mother” of all the girls, whose ages range from 18 to 21. She knows every boy who “dates” each girl. She knows where they're going and what time they'll PL‘RCY’S CAFE OPEN ALL NIGHT at PERCY’S ANY TIME, Dinners, or Ligl ht Lun that all J\ll\eflu is about.

Weigh-in day is Thursday. The girls can eal all they please and what they please during the week, but come Thursday they must be on the scales at the prescribied weight. When any girl protests about a penalty for a mere three or four pounds, Miss Abbott hands the rebel’ a four-pound” sack of sugar and commands, “Now let me see you' do ah aerial s sack.” (An “aerial” is a terpsichorean stunt, like s done without teuching hands te floor, You must try it some unu, heh, heh!) Many of the girls have been in the Abbott school in Chicago since childhood. There's Jean Guest, who was four when she enrolled, and Valerie Thon, who was seven. Aside ffom the salaries they earn, they travel. Miss Abbott has taken troupes to Europe and South America and had them in several Broadway plays. : pressed desire for the dance. Her parents thought no decent She herself used to be a kindergarten teacher, with a sup- girl went on the stage. By the time Miss Abbott declared her independence she thought it was too laté for her to dance pro- fessionaly so she did the next best thing — took up dance instruction. { She still dances, though not all the acrobatic, aerial, ballet and ballroom steps her pupils undertake. “But I can still do a split,” she chuckles, “and at 47 that's Pietty gogd)” Vhica e, wid .
