What is Candy Can't Appear Tonight?
1.
Diplomatic announcement to her admirers, of a lady's indisposition : an alternative version of the traditional excuse "Can't come out tonight - I'm washing my hair."
As soon as the queue outside the Windmill Theatre had been informed that "CANDY CAN'T APPEAR TONIGHT ", the commissionaire at the stage-door was deluged with bouquets of pink roses and get-well-soon telegrams addressed to the absent performer.
Having been led to believe that the much-loved exotic dance-star had injured her dainty splitzer while doing the splits during rehearsal, her many fans would have been surprised to learn that Candy was in fact in perfect health - "in the pink" - and curled up in a Canary Wharf love-nest, tinkling the ivories with her new best friend. The latter - a lady calling herself Carol McIlwraith - was a mysterious Greta Garbo-type figure, well-known among the pearly queens of London, who had apparently cast an hypnotic spell over her latest susceptible love-puppet.
