the Fascinating Widow. I may be
a female impersonator, but the first
guy that makes a crack about me is
gonna get a punch in the mush. Do
i
you get me?"
This is a typical first rehearsal in
every theater where the Fascinating
Widow makes her appearance.
"I am a little sore," explained the
famous impersonator toa reporter,

were a woman, and somebody, by

some punishment is due those who
deliberately unbar the tiger's cage
and foolishly become familiar with
the beast. Such foolish people, when
