AT THE FILLING STATION Hello. Alice! How's Kello's little roommmate this evening? Know any news? What! Why I'm ashamed of your ignorance, "Lee"! Here I'm parked up on this trunk waiting to hear the choicest bit of gossip and that's what you say! Oh, but by the way. before I listen to your latest escapade, let me ask you one question. Have you bought your ticket to the play, "The Ivory Door?" What! You say that only six girls have asked you that? Why that's terrible. We, Dramatic girls. must get to work. That's going to be a swell play— no fooling. There are so many characters that if you don't like one or two you are bound to love 'bout ten others. You'll see kings, queens, princes, soldiers, servants, old men, and women, young girls and even little boys. You'll be surprised to death at the talent you'll see. Did you ever imagine Nancy Harrison as an old nurse; Virginia Fox as a man; Margaret Murray and Jean Allen Bobs as soldiers; Lindsay White as a little boy; Ruth Ford as a comedian; or Martha Sanders as a recrepid old man in his dotage. They are all swell. You'll split your sides laughing at Dot Davis as she roars forth in a manly fashion and at Virginia Young putting on the drunk act. Is Dorin the coy little girl? Just you wait and see! When I get started on the play, I could go on and on, but there goes the bell tolling the knell of parting day or something, and so I'd better scramble down and hie myself home.
