The Gay Sisters Page #2

YOU OUGHT TO PUT THEM

BEGGARS ON ROLLER SKATES,

THE WAY THEY GO:

IN AND OUT.

YEAH. ALL THESE FILES

FULL OF LAW,

AND A GUY CAN'T KEEP THE

DOGS OUT OF HIS HEDGES.

BETTER GET PICTURES OF

THOSE GAYLORD DAMES, OR ELSE.

YOU KNOW THE ANGLE

- MOTHER WENT DOWN ON THE LUSITANIA,

FATHER KILLED:

IN FRANCE.

3 LITTLE

ORPHAN GIRLS:

AND ONLY A HALF-BILLION BETWEEN THEM,

SO DON'T COME BACK

WITHOUT PICTURES!

LET'S GO.

DICK, WHERE

HAVE YOU BEEN?

I WANT YOU TO MEE THE CLIPPER

AND SERVE LADY BURTON

WITH THIS SUBPOENA.

LADY BURTON?

OH, NO DICE!

EVELYN GAYLORD,

YOU DOPE!

OH, ONE OF

THE GAY DAMES.

ARRIVING:

FROM ENGLAND.

GOT A HUSBAND:

IN THE R.A.F.

HOW AM I GOING:

TO KNOW HER?

YOU KNOW:

THE OTHER TWO.

THEY'LL BE THERE

TO MEET HER.

ALL 3 ARE GOING STRAIGH TO THE COURTHOUSE.

I KNOW...

"LADY BURTON, NOW THAT YOU'VE

SET FOOT AGAIN ON AMERICAN SOIL,

MAY I BE THE FIRS TO SERVE YOUR LADYSHIP?"

I BEG YOUR PARDON.

MISTER, WHERE YOU GO WHEN

YOUR HUSBAND BEATS YOU UP?

IS THIS THE GUY?

THAT'S MY BROTHER.

WHAT IS THIS?

THAT'S

THE GAYLORD CASE.

A CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE.

CAN YOU IMAGINE WORKING

ON A CASE LIKE THAT?

SURE. YOU COULD RETIRE.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK. A

CASE LIKE THAT AIN'T NO CINCH.

SURE. THE FIRST 100

YEARS IS THE HARDEST.

CLEAR THE COURT.

JUST BECAUSE:

WE AIN'T THE GAY DAMES

DON'T MEAN YOU CAN

PUSH US ALONG.

NO ANIMALS ALLOWED.

NAZIS, THAT'S WHA YOU ARE-NAZIS!

MR. GIBBON, AREN'T YOU THE

LAWYER IN THE GAYLORD CASE?

I'VE NOTHING TO SAY

FOR THE PAPERS.

ALL WE WANT IS THE GLAMOUR

OF THE WHOLE STORY BEHIND IT.

SORRY.

NOW, YOUR HONOR, AS

YOU KNOW, THIS IS IN THE MATTER

OF THE WILL OF:

THE LATE PENN GAYLORD,

AND I AM THE PROPONEN OF THAT WILL.

THIS CASE WAS ORIGINALLY

IN THE SURROGATE COURT,

BUT BECAUSE OF ITS

EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES,

IT WAS TRANSFERRED

TO THIS COURT,

WHERE IT WAS BEING HEARD

BEFORE YOUR HONOR'S

DISTINGUISHED PREDECESSOR,

JUDGE McCARTHY,

WHOSE UNTIMELY DEATH

HAS BEREAVED US ALL.

WHEN DID:

PENN GAYLORD DIE?

IN 1918.

23 YEARS AGO.

YES, YOUR HONOR.

AND YOU'RE STILL TRYING

TO GET THE WILL PROBATED?

YES, YOUR HONOR.

WELL, JUST WHAT HAS HAPPENED

IN ALL THESE 23 YEARS?

WHEN PENN GAYLORD DIED, THERE

IMMEDIATELY APPEARED ANOTHER WILL

WHICH, IT IS CLAIMED, WAS EXECUTED

IN FRANCE JUST BEFORE HE DIED.

SO THERE WAS NATURALLY

A WILL CONTEST.

WELL, WAS THERE

A GREAT DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN THE FRENCH WILL

AND THE AMERICAN WILL?

NO, YOUR HONOR, EXCEP THAT UNDER THE FRENCH WILL,

PENN GAYLORD SET ASIDE

10% OF HIS ESTATE

AS A TRUST FUND:

FOR A CERTAIN CHARITY,

AND IT'S THAT CHARITY WHICH

IS FIGHTING TO ESTABLISH

THE VALIDITY:

OF THE FRENCH WILL.

AND WHO REPRESENTS THE PROPONEN OF THE FRENCH WILL HERE?
