Freeman company PUBLIC RELATIONS to do their productions right, and be a lady and a Copagirl off-stage. Within the twenty-eight months of the Sands operation, we have selected about 100 girls and maintained an average line of twelve* Most of the girls leave for better positions in T*V* and movie tests as a result of the promotion ordered by Entratter for his Copagirls* Several examples of this are Kim Smith who received a Life cover treatment and subsequently went on to Hollywood for screen tests - * and Trudy Wroe who jumped from the Sands line into the spot of rfLorelein on an NBC network show* The name "Copagirl" was made famous by Entratter in the last fifteen years, since 1940, when he first started building the name for his chorus girls at the Copacabana in Ne%^ York* where Jack was an owner and the producer* His build-up of the Copagirl is comparable to Ziegfel romotion of the Ziegfeld Girl, and some of the ex-Copagirls have been pushed on to further fame, such as, June Allyson, Lucille Bremer and Olga San Juan* An estimated 1300 pretty young girls have had the chance for further stardom through being Copagirls under Entratter, who always stresses that the prime requisite for his Copagirls is that each must be a lady* Jim, trust this information will help fill out your story and I will keep you posted on when Jack comes to town in the near future, so you can get together for that interview.
