The Actress Page #4

---

Don't bother.

I'm going out.

Oh, clinton.

Don't do anything rash,

for all our sake.

Nothing rash in going out

and laying down

on the new york, new haven,

and hartford railroad tracks.

Clinton,

you wouldn't!

I'm going to take

that cat with me.

Look at him. Got himself

on the register again.

Scientific wonder to me

he ain't fricasseed.

Come on, now.

Out from under there.

Oh!

Oh, you bad cat!

Oh, you...

i'll wash it off

with saltwater, dear,

extra strong.

That's my own blood.

You thankless cat.

Aren't you ashamed?

Get the cat's answer

later, will you?

I don't propose to stand here

till gangrene sets in!

Hey!

Where's the fire?

Where's the fire?

What? I just got

a letter from...

oh, see you.

Oh, excuse me!

Anna, she sent it!

Her picture!

Who?

Hazel! Hazel dawn!

Oh!

Oh, let me see!

I didn't even

open it.

Think of it, anna.

Just think of it!

Anna, just

think of it!

Oh, i may die!

Oh, isn't it

beautiful?

Oh, i certainly am

the happiest thing.

It's from

the touraine hotel,

boston, mass.

And i wrote, too,

but she didn't send mine.

Oh, things

happen to me...

the greatest

in the whole world!

This has to mean...

it has to!

I was meant

to be an actress,

or else why didn't

she send one to you?

No matter

what happens...

look. I'm taking

a vow unto myself

on this picture.

I am going to be

somebody wonderful

like you'll

read about,

and nobody

can stop me,

not even

my own family.

Say, for a minute,

you looked different.

I'm going to live in

some gorgeous place

like the touraine hotel

or some other gorgeous

place just as good,

and i'm going to

have mama and papa

be living up on a hill

with a hired girl

and a thoroughbred

fox terrier.

I'm going to run up

terrible grocery bills

and never look

at the price, and...

oh, i'm going to get

everything great

for everybody!

It's disgusting

to live just to

support yourself.

I have to fly

and tell katherine.

She'll die!

Ooh, how are you?

Sick.

Oh, good... -

i mean,

that's a shame.

See, now,

there's pernambuco

right up that channel.

Move that

whale's tooth.

See, right there.

And it's

pernam buco, too.

I don't give a snap

what they say

at quincy high school.

It's not per nam buco.

That's how they say it.

They ought to know.

Now, go right up...

what was that?

Just ruth leaving

for the braintree dance.

Fred whitmarsh called

to take her.

Oh, well!

Here i was learning her

something

of some real value.

Something that everybody

don't know, too.

I know.

And that certainly

brings up a point.

What she knows,

you could put in a frog's ear.

She don't know beans

when the bag's untied.

What's she aiming at,
