John Hyams’ Zulu Girls

Location:
Theater:
Date:
10 girls costumed in some cast offs from some extravaganza or something; costumes did not belong neither did the girls. The act was recommended by Jo Paige Smith after having seen a rehearsal of it. The girls can neither sing nor dance and they don’t look at all well in the costumes. I have given it a second trial but I feel pretty confident they will have to kiss themselves good-bye this evening. I may keep them in a very early place in the bill if Hyams’ will accept a nominal figure for them. 2 shows, garden 4, 9 min.
