One thing that Mr. Weston in- sists upon is that the lines be memor- ized perfectly, that there be no slips ‘tween the cup and the lip, and that all the situations be mastered To meet this the players are required to rehearse often two and three iimes day.

Well, when Mary told me she had a han- kering for grease paint and six weeks of being sworn at in rehearsals, said she'd better come go right along with me, and maybe Webster would let us do a sister act by getting us jobs in the same chorus.
