In this letter to Mr. Gilman, Sullivan encourages him to see music performances outside of the Metropolitan and Carnegie Hall and lauds with much enthusiasm a recent movie he saw featuring a women's symphony orchestra: I saw a movie just yesterday of a ladies' sympony orchestra in Hollywood. One of the numbers was Ravel's 'Bolero,' The melody was sung by a lady hotcha crooner in a low quivering voice, while the background usually supplied by Solly Goodman, the Philharmonic tympanist was sung by the remaining members of the ladies' band in a refrain like this, 'dig-dig-adig-dig.
