An opera manager talks with an attractive young woman who aspires to be an opera singer. Two somewhat less attractive and considerably heavier women wearing costumes stand behind them. Caption: The Young One — But if my voice and acting are satisfactory, why is it you won’t let me sing “Juliette”? / Manager –Woman alive, I can’t! You are only nineteen, and as pretty as a picture, and you weigh less than 140 pounds!
