They played to packed houses six times a day, seven times on Saturday, and followed almost every appearance with an extra three minutes of clowning at their dressing-room window overlooking 44th Street-a methodical bit of madness designed to lure overloyal fans out of the Paramount's seats so that others could buy their way into them...
