the dance area

I think the entrance is too long,

we better take 6 feet off

A big entrance gives a

better impression...

Always keep the entrances crowded

Julian

Splendid. There is no manager in

London at your level

There is no partner like you in the

world to keep everything in order

You're appreciation is in order.

I just control the accounts

It's not that easy. You've to be a

magician to get profit with my ideas

Let's take a look at the pretty

girls in their dancing shoes

Go ahead girls!

Are you coming Julian?

The eighth victim of the poet

killer. Horrible!

Have you read this?

You're too sentimental

I'm sure she met a...

...professional that promised her

the riches of the Orient

You don't understand women

And, is that the last time you saw

Lucy Barnard?

Yes, the night she said she was

going away with some man

Her landlady told us she left all

her clothes and everything she owned

It wasn't much

The man she left with,

Did you know him?

No. All I know is that she met him

through the personal column,

And don't you remember what

the add said?

Yes, I have it right here

It was on her dressing table

Refined gentleman means friendship

with attractive young girl

Enclose photograph, intention

marriage BOX 477

Tell me Miss. Carpenter

What kind of a girl was...

...Miss. Barnard?

Just a nice kid. Not too smart

but not too dumb. The kind of girl...

...that falls over a smooth line

She believed no harm could get her...

...because she wore good luck charms

Some silly little white elephants

Did you say elephants?

Around her wrist on a bracelet?

How did you know?

A girl by the name Arlette

disappeared about a year ago

Disappeared?

Yes, a few days before she

disappeared we received this poem

'Smile your last sweet fragile smile

Arlette, but when the roses fade...

...the north wind whispers

are you ready yet?'

This one we received last December

'Move quickly to rendezvous...

...my loving Louis. But,

what if the gate is locked?

Your lover has the key'

The very next day her parents notified...

...notified us that she had

disappeared that night

Nobody knew anything else about her

Last week we...

...received this

'Elephants encircle her... '

Elephants!

I'm afraid you'll never see your

friend again

Thank you Gordons

Miss Carpenter

Would you like to help us?

There's nothing I wouldn't have done

How long have you been working

in that Club?

3 months

What did you do before?

I came from New York to do a show

Before the fourth night I was broke

Stand up

Would you mind raising your skirt?

Higher

How is that?

Very nice, my compliments

I'm sorry but I had to

I don't get it

You will. Can you cook?
