When your doll starts showing an interest in another, don't agree with her appraisal of him. If you make it too easy for her to leave you for another, she won't--and you're stuck with her. * * * * * Fastest way to a doll's heart is not through protestations of love and undying affection. Keep her laughing, bud. That's the block buster. * * * * * Guys who give seldom get. * * * * * It's tough to romance a chorine while she's rehearsing for a new show. Hard-boiled dance directors are mayhem on love life. * * * * * When you have a date with a chorus doll and she keeps you waiting after a show--being last to leave the dressing room--it can mean one of two things. Either she's so thrilled to be going out with you, she primps more than usual. Or she's so bored and unconcerned she stalls to the last minute. Make up your mind. * * * * * Dames that pull the share-a-date gag are carbolic acid. Give 'em the air when they do this: The evening is half over; suddenly she remarks that she's got to go. "Why, dear," says she, "I told you earlier I had this date, but to show you how much I care for you I ducked him all these hours to spend them with you." The malarkey! * * * * * When a doll tells you she couldn't get a job in the cabaret chorus because the boss tried to get fresh with her, it's a phony. There's such a shortage of pretty femmes who dance that managers would rather hire them than make love to them--paying up to $100 a week, two shows a night, six days a week--and saying "Please." * * * * * Don't try to start a conversation with the pretty pigeon at the end of the bar. She's the bartender's bim and no stray can steal her. * * * * * When your doll excuses herself to go to the powder room--a few minutes after she nods to the sleek dark musician--watch out that she doesn't give you a powder. 23. THE NOTED AND THE NOTORIOUS A big shot is just a pain in the neck to the average New Yorker, who has seen them all and seen them come and go. He is a nuisance who has to be endured; a nuisance because he gets in front of the line, has the best tables, blocks entrances with his car and generally makes himself obnoxious. New York reeks with very important people. Most, of course, aren't celebrities. They mind their own business and try to forget their fame. But, if a New Yorker can take or leave his notables, a muzhik can't. Next to the Empire State and Radio City, V.I.P.'s are the tallest things on his agenda, and if it's your hard luck to nursemaid one, you've got to take him to one place where he can feed his obsession. And many celebs are only too anxious to oblige.
