MIHWJlllll'HH ?√ß FREEMAN COMPANY pub/Zcists - 2 - trade magazine ads which read simply* "All you need be is beautiful." In looking back over the auditions held by Entratter, flanked by choreographers and ward- robe mistresses whose judgment is prized in selecting girls above anybody else* he remembers many calls answered by 500 girls, out of whom he selected one. Entratter has built the name and fame of the CopaGirl on a certain type of face and figure ?╟÷ prefaced by the qualification that the girl selected had never been in show business before. His average payroll of $62*500 a year to CopaGirls in his show productions have swelled the total payrolls paid to $1,000*000, just about 9$ of the total amount he has spent for talent and productions in his 16 years of staging shows. There is a solid reason why so many girls, ambitious for stage* motion picture and TV careers* yearn to start out as a CopaGirl for Entratter ?╟÷ the CopaGirl position has become the top springboard to lush contracts in these other mediums. This is borne out by the heavy turnover of CopaGirls in Entratter?╟╓s current show production at the Sands* with 72 of his selections in the last 31 months leaving the Sands, after an average stay of 7 months, for jobs in movies and TV that have averaged over $350 a week for the ambitious young girls. Rather than begrudge the fact that pretty girls whom he has selected and trained and still paid an average of $170 a week constantly leave him for their goals of fame in movies and TV, Entratter helps them by bringing in movie producers and TV and advertising agency executives to look over the girls as potential performers and stars. June Allyson, for example, got her first screen test and subsequent boost to stardom through Entratter?╟╓s help in persuading movie producers to give her a break. Olga San Juan and Lucille Bremer also remember Entratter for his help in paving their way to Hollywood for screen tests and eventual stardom. And from the Sands 72 hopefuls, out of 382 girls who have worked as CopaGirls in Entratter?╟╓s productions* have made the successful jump from the CopaGirl line to Hollywood contracts, successful screen tests and well paying TV work which his help made possible. - more - 9508 WI LSHI R E BLVD. ?╟≤ BEVERLY HILLS, C AL. ?╟≤ B RADSH AW 2-86 1 1
