"PINS AND NEEDLES"
LL ZB stations recently presented a special CBS version of "Pins and Needles," a revue which made theatre history on Broadway because it was originally produced and acted entirely by the members of a Trade Union-the International Women’s Garment Workers. Before the show, said the commentator of the radio version, the people who were responsible for this revue al. led the ordinary lives of \ «kers-they got up early, travelled to work in the crowded subways, sewed, cut, operated their embroidery machines, without thought of a career on the stage. But they belonged to the drama groups set up by the union as part of a spare time culture programme, and when this developed into Labour Stage Inc., Pins and Needles was the result. ‘Then came-"rave" reviews, enthusiastic audiences, and a regular run on Broadway.
