Nancy Gardiner, a vision in glowing red silk and golden waves, applies her final touches. Outside, the crew bustles; inside, the air is thick with anticipation and the scent of powder. Her reflection captures a fleeting doubt.* “I wonder if my old man will come to see me tonight. He promised, but he never does. He’s a real swell fella, but he ain’t the type to spend his dough on stage shows and dancers. Or I guess he’s just lousy.”
