Evidently Not.

“My dear fellow,” Baid the manage* to the young author, “there are some witty lines in this musical comedy of yours and It has a much better plot than such things generally have, but it will never do.

It would never do for girls whose skirts reached only to their knees and whose waists were cut very, very low to come dancing in where everything was supposed to be covered with snow and ice.” “But why not let the ladies be dressed as if for' cold weather?” “What? Say, I guess you don’t know why we have musical comedy, do you?”
