September 10, 1966 Mr. Ralph Pearl 176 Columbia Drive las Vegas, Nevada Dear Ralph: 1 didn? t have a chance to thank you fo r your mention of me. Of sourse, the fa ct that I was posing at the Dunes as a special represent?tl?? of the Encyclopedia Brltannlca might make the story of Major Riddle New Laws of Physics of $100 Chit? slig h tly disastrous. You have too great a readership. 1 would lik e to appoint you us ray deputy to take on a chore that Harold Minsky asked m to do. Harold pointed out that when we :>oth started out In burlesque so m m years ago, that a g ir l who ?cwld reveal her 'a ll" to her audience would Insist on having s&uiooae waiting in the wings with a robe which she could don Immediately. * Her torso was revealed only to those out front and not to the stage?hands ana her co-workers. B it the young ladles of the S ilver Slipper find the freedom nudists talk about as being so wonderful, that i t Is on? they don? t want to give up just because they have come off-stags. A number of the g ir ls prefer wandering around iwaok-stage In their stage costumes. Harold would like to know i f you could come back and lecture to them on how much more attractive they are i f there is a mystery about their charms. This ts very disconcertlug to the comedians who, on a number of occasions, have found themselves playing the wrong card in their fin rummy games, their attention obviously being distracted, lao, i t raises a problem where a number of dealers and other 2. people have claimed that they blundered back-stage by error. X am sure that with your great salesmanship, you can convince the young ladies to don a f u l l length cloak JSf some material as soon as they come off-stage. 'ihanks and best regards, Yours, EJ:blv Budle Jaffe
