My Sister Eileen Page #5

Its cause I havent been rehearsed

You mean that youre a genius

In your own peculiar way

Youre great, but no one knows it

But they will someday

You see, thats our secret.

Youve got to have confidence in yourself.

Miss Sherwood, you could be

a female Shakespeare.

- Me?

- Sure you could.

Eileen, you could show

these other actresses...

theyre not even on the second team.

You can throw a hammerlock

around this whole doggone town.

- I could?

- You could. If you only believe in yourself.

Miss Sherwood,

what do you think of yourself?

- I guess Im all right.

- No, Eileen. Ruth.

What do you think of yourself?

No. No matter what anybody says,

youve got to keep your head up high...

and say, Im great. Say it!

Im great

No.

Youve got to shout it out!

So the whole city can hear you.

From the Bronx to the Battery.

Shout!

Im great, but no one knows it

No one knows it

Thats much better.

So far

Thats fine.

But theyll get wise

And realise how wonderful you are

The public may acclaim us

Well be popular and famous

And anyone that pans us

Will be called an ignoramus

Were great, but no one knows it

But who cares about them

Can we be sure?

Theyll say that youre the crme de la crme

Well, I dont know what that means

But I agree with what you say

Were great, but no one knows it

But they will someday

Were great, but no one knows it

No one knows it so far

But theyll get wise

And realise how talented we are

The public will acclaim us

Well be popular and famous

And anyone who pans us

Will be called an ignoramus

Were great, but no one knows it

No one knows it, not yet

But they will even pay us

To endorse a cigarette

As we go by, theyll point us out

And even shout hurray!

Hurray! Were great, but no one knows it

But they will someday

- Wont you sit down?

- Thank you.

Thank...

Thank you. Thank you very much.

- Excuse me.

- Yes?

My name is Eileen Sherwood.

I read in Variety

that Mr. Wallace is casting a new show.

- Would it be possible for me to see...

- Im sorry...

but Mr. Wallace is only seeing people

by appointment.

- Do you think I could make an appointment?

- Im sorry. Thats impossible.

- You can send in the next.

- Thank you anyway.

- Carolyn Christy.

- Im sorry.

- Wont you step in now, please?

- Mr. Wallace, she isnt on the list.

Dont be so technical, Miss Stevenson.

Was America on Columbus map?

I would like to see Mr. Robert Baker, please.

Mr. Baker cant see anyone.

Hes just getting ready

to leave on his vacation.

On his vacation?

Cant I see him for just a minute?

Some of my stories were submitted to him...

by Mr. Stover of the Columbus Courier.

- I have a letter of introduction.

- Im sorry.
