Dance Director

Strange Wills. Starring the distinguished Hollywood actor Warren William and featuring Carlton Young with Howard Culfer and an all-star Hollywood cast. Original music by Del Castillo. Dead Men's Wills are often strange. We cannot attempt to understand them or try to find the answers.

We can but tell the story. This is Warren William bringing you the story, dance director. But first, now back to Warren William as John Francis O'Connell in Dance Director. An opening night on Broadway invariably brings back a flood of memories and stories

about the private lives of many of the stars whose names have written theatrical history. One name in particular that of Margot Davis stands out above all the rest. I knew Margot when she began her climb on Broadway. In fact, I was her father's lawyer.

It was upon his suggestion that I drew his will with the provision that his only child in the air at law must first earn her own living for one year before acquiring his estate, roughly estimated at around $10 million. He wanted her to learn the value of a dollar, the hard way. I remember the day I called upon her at the Davis Hutt townhouse. It was a few

weeks after her father had been buried. I found Margot in the music room. May I interrupt? Oh, John, you stiled me. I'm sorry. I hated to interrupt your plague, Margot. I'm glad you did. I'm afraid it's a dreary old piece anyway. Well, come on in and sit down, aren't you? Thank you. Margot, may I have your undivided attention for just a few minutes until I tell

you what I have to say. I'll be very attentive. Good. Now then, Margot, you've had rather a sheltered life to date, haven't you? Extremely. Did you learn anything? Well, that depends. I know which fork to use at dinner. I know how to dress, conservatively. Did you learn how to work for a living? Well, quite frankly, John, I've never earned a penny in my life,
