This image is a copy of a page from the article “They Give the Kids a Chance,” by Morton B. Hunt, alongside a typescript manuscript with corrections regarding the National Music League, Inc. On the left, the article page recounts work-related stories from two young female musicians – Frances Magnes and Lilian Kallir. On the right, the typescript document (likely written before 1952), promotes the league and solicits applications from qualified musicians.
