THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
FIVE JUSTICES
TO BE ELECTED
i DITH MAY, the Prettiest Salesgirl in America, ju »ped from the quiet
obscurity of a backwoods Wisconsin village to the heart of hectic
Broadway, overnight, landing backstage in the famous Ziegfeld girl shows
nrst the Follies, then the Midnight Frolic. Edith May (Leuenberger) was
gorn in Monroe. Wis., and lived there all thei 17 years of her life,
one had never seen a skyscraper; had never been to a theater
i v ‘^ ace movie); had never eaten in a city restaurant or slept in
a hotel or Pullman car. Then suddenly she won the National Salesgirls’
Beauty Contest, and was whisked to New York for her prize—a trial in
V £iegzeld s shows and Mayflower movies. This is her own story of her ad-
.ventures and experiences to date. “Cousin Edna” rcfet-ed to in the sto-
v ,, riesjys her cousin who accompanied her as chaperon. “Friend Lady” is a
I. writer who helped her get started in her stage career.

IT’
NO. 5.—THE DRESSING ROOM.
gcUMj
11FHEN 1 toid Friend, Lady how rais-
»* erable I was in the "Follies"
dressing room with all those sophisti
cated ch orus girls sneering at me she
advised me in two words: “Be friend
ly”
“But I can’t be,” I said. “I could
not behave as they do, and I wouldn't
if I could.”
“You don’t have to,” she said.
“Those girls were just like you—
once. They’re a good deal like you
now underneath all thathard careless
ness. But you have to be friendly
with such girls. Be frank with them
and they’ll be nice to you. Appeal
to them as one human being to an
other, and you’ll find them generous
and kindhearted. Try it”
Then came a vision of the folks
at home—the little house on Mer
chant street, with Mother and Dad
sitting together on the porch and
Harold rattling the water bucket and
the pump-handle in they ard. A
longing to do something for them
eame over me.
That might Cousin Edna sent me
out of the dressing room for a few
minutes. She said she was going to
act on Friend Lady’s advice. I don’t
know exactly what she said to the
girls, but when I came in, they were
perfectly dear! It was magical.
“Hello. Kid,” they greeted me.
Then everyone talked at once.
“So you won the Beauty Contest!
Gee, what luck!”
Tell us how it all happened!”
“How you gonna work in the Fol-
K **wh
..here’, your home, Kiddle?"
“Take a bunch of these chocolates
—aw, go on, take a lot!”
“Lemmo show you how to put that
mascara on your eyes.”
“My word, sister, you ve sure got
swell hair!" , , ,

■ou poor 111 kiddo! Say girls,

java to be nice to her, hey?’
“We thought you was up-stage.
But you’re all nght. Ill tell the
world!” And another— “Sure she'
all right! I knew she was all righ
when she first come—with her k:
mono like it was glued on her!”
“Vi. show her how to do her lips—
that’s the stuff—. Wowie—but she’s
got a milllon-doUar smile!”
And so It wont. Everybody was
nice to me wnd I had no more trou
ble and tears. One girl told me
something I’ll always remember.
“If you want to cam a living in
this business," she said, “you can
do it, I don’t care what anyone says.
If you got the looks and the figure
and ain’t afraid to work hard, you
can make form $60 to $126 a week.

I was standing in the wini
the second night when one of the
stars of the show patted my shoulder
and smiled in the friendliest way
“I Started this way. too,” she said.
“T determined at the very beginning
that I was going to make money for

When Fleet Fox jumped out of the
scarecrow’s clothes, that he had been
masquerading in at his own party,
and jumped right into the midst of
his guests, there was a frightened
scurrying and skedadling in every di
rection.
Flop Fieldmouso dropped his ban
ner on which were the words “I’m
Mr. Elephant!" for he wasn’t sure
that Fleet would be fooled by the
information one bit. Anyway he
wasn’t going to take a chance and
ho streaked under the com shock
nearest him. Petey Porcupine and
Harry Hedgehog who were pretend-
ing to be pin-cushion and chestnut-
burr respectfully, I mean respective
ly, sat still. They knew that they
were safe, for Fleet had learned his
lesson once before and now felt his
nose tenderly every time he looked
in their direction.
Cutie Cottontail, who really should
have made himself scarce, aren't j
budge a bit either. Under his little !
Cutie awfully hard budged, and from
him to Cobby Coon, and from Cobby
Coon to Chipmunk.
Not one of those little Meadow
Crave pupils had budged. I think like
Mr. Ostrich, they imagined Fleet
couldn’t see them when their faces
were covered.
Now Nancy and Nick had gone to
the party as “Babes In The Wood,”
vou know, anj they had a great bas
ket. They say the danger their lit
tle friends were in, and with their
Magical Green Shoes to whisk them
around, they picked up every little
animal in sight and dropped them in.
And they wished themselves out of
that.
In just a couple of winks, that com
field was empty of every single thing
but com shocks, pumpkins, moon
beams, and Fleet Fox. And Fleet
was howling .with disappointed hun
ger.
