This
"Sweetheart of a Musical" opens with eight girls complaining about the
doldrums---they're just not getting enough telephone calls. The solution is
simple announces an advertisement for Sue's Answer Phone, telephone answering
service. This particular answering service is owned and run by Sue, who employs her
