Mr. Wright. No; he just asked me to leave.
Mr. Griffin. Did you have an argument with him there?
Mr. Wright. No; he just said, “I don’t want you in my club. You are against me.” I said, “Fine.” So I left.
Mr. Griffin. Had he ever asked you to do anything for him in connection with his complaint about the amateur strippers?
Mr. Wright. Well, he had asked to bring up at board meetings the reason why it hadn’t been cut out, because of his complaint. In fact, I believe he called Bobby Faye in New York several times, and called Mazzie in California several times.
Mr. Griffin. Was any effort made by the people who were in charge of AGVA to get the Weinsteins to stop using the amateurs in their shows?
Mr. Wright. Well, like I said, we got memos to one effect that they were either to stop or the kids were to join the union, and then most of the kids joined the union, and in that way it went from $10 or $15 per girl to $35; which is our minimum that any act can receive as long as they are carrying a card. $35 per performance or per show, which would be one performance of the amateurs.
Mr. Griffin. Was Jack continuing to use amateur dancers during this period that he was complaining about the Weinsteins?
Mr. Wright. Oh, yes; he wasn’t about to cut it out. Sometimes he would use one or two girls instead of using four or five on something.
Mr. Griffin. Did he advertise also that he was using amateurs?
