00:00Wow. I bet you my father's had this.
00:05Probably.
00:06Because he seemed to know all about you.
00:08Oh dear.
00:09Orrin O'Brien, the newest member of the New York Philharmonic,
00:12scurried into Philharmonic Hall one rainy night
00:15and, ignoring the musicians' locker room, got dressed in a washroom.
00:22Miss O'Brien, who is the daughter of old-time Western star George O'Brien
00:26and actress Marguerite Churchill, may be the best woman bassist in the world.
00:31To a man, they say, Orrin is one of the boys.
00:34Only Orrin is one of the girls.
00:36The only girl, in fact, in the 104-member orchestra.
00:39A situation unique at the Philharmonic, so there is yet no place for her to dress.
