Levis pondered. “None.”
Birdcalls it was. Levis can’t even remember the man’s name now, but the Scot could imitate birds well enough to make a spot in a Levis show. In a matter of
days he was working behind footlights in a troupe made up entirely from unknowns, the people who have catapulted Levis to the top of Britain’s entertainment business.
This Scot was only one of 500,000 British amateurs who have been auditioned by Levis or his talent scouts in the last nine years. Five hundred thousand amateur auditions add up to an impressive total of musical saws, card tricks and old jokes. But they also add up to fame and fortune for this once obscure Vancouver radio announcer who at 35 has become fairy godfather to all Britishers who want to see their names in lights.
