And once she got him a job in Buxbaum's old place, she told me, to work in the orchestra. But his nobs kicked. Said he'd cut his throat before playin' in a roughneck orchestra and who did she think he was to do such a thing? He says to her: I'm Weintraub Weintraub, d'ye understand? And he hauls off and wallops her one and she guve up tryin' to get him a job.
