TYPING SOLO
Job With Orchestra
(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright)
LONDON, May 11. A London typist, Miss Barbara Hall, aged 21, today won herself a job as soloist with the London Philharmonic Orchestra as a typist. She will only type, however, for 25 seconds. Her job is to type as fast as she can on an ancient typewriter and press a bell with her foot at the end of every line of the French composer Eric Satie’s ballet music “Parade." Barbara, who can type at 60 words a minute, was chosen from 25 other girls and a man.
