HOLLYWOOD, April 1.—The blond benuty suggested a sit-down strike among—of all people—a group of Hollywood chorines. The scene was a huge sound stage where the chorus girls were re- hearsing an oxtravagant dance num- ber for a huge musical picture, “Broadway Melody of 1937.” The director and straw-bosses had not returned from lunch.

At this crisis Dance Director Dave Gould came upon the scene with & call to arms, legs and rhythm. He could, Gould said when the im- passe was explained to him, avoid { hiring any New York models for his shows. There would be no need of a sit-down strike. The chorines would not enjoy it much anyway. 8o that movement died down in stage number five and gave way to another in two-fourths time. {BISHOP N. S.
