Qeniur iBIap Oh. all right . . . I guess . . . they're up there now . . . we come in later . . . shot back Meneely. And we brought the sofa all the way from Twenty-second and Market on the El . . . interposed young Schaifnit. You what . . . a full fledged couch . . . on the El? You can imagine our surprise when we learned that those fellows-Ernest Meneely, Bill Schaffnit, David Cooper, Bill Parks, and Allan Brown-all of 'em bought the old divan for eight dollars, leaving themselves eightysfive cents for car-fare. They started to heave the gadget when they suddenly discovered the bottom was falling out. Well. then, they carried it up-side-down to the thirty-second street station. And, here the real trouble started! The cashier said, No -The boys said YES . . . She still objected. But the sofa went through and the boys with it . . . There was a small inconvenience when Cooper had to go through the turnstile six times to check their fares. Anyway, it was about four thirty-the rush hour was on . . . But the boys, sofa and all. got to sixty-third street where they winged their way to the platform . . . Cooper holding fast to the door. There they met Iack Rann who helped liit the soft to his car . . . this time a couple of springs were busted . . . and the crew came merrily to rehearsal. Well. it was some story . . . and a good one, we thought. But up we went . . . up the rickety steps landing plum into one of the dressing rooms back stage. The play was on . . . All around stood various characters . . . Marlys Lindgren with her prompt book . . . Nancy White, Margery Wilson, Audrey Wilson, and Ruth Harper . . . all doing something or other . . . mostly waiting for cues. On the stage Bill Parks was making love to Lieutenant Mary Day fShirley Watermanl. And he was doing all right . . . What do you do? we asked a little lady as she passed. Me? Why I just add to confusion, smiled Pat Rile. At this point, it seemed, the curtain closed. The act must have been over, for all the players filed on stage. Soon director, Miss Mildred Brown, talented player herself, was heard . . . Evidently she was meeting the cast. But. we were on our way out now . . . past Dave Cooper and his mustache . . . we didn't take time to ask him what happened to the pipe . , . George Anderer was calling out to, Okay something . . . Ernest Meneely looking for his Tux . . . somewhere, somebody had turned on some music . . . sound effects. no doubt. One more backward glance-then out we came--and the night air felt good . . . so did the confidence that Springfield was about to present the best play ever! Twmz ty
