You'll Never Get Rich Page #4

---

Now what do you think,

Miss Susie Suspicious?

Ask me later.

Oh, Mr. Curtis, this is the nicest thing

that ever happened to me.

- May I call you Robert?

- Please do.

Oh, I'm so deliriously happy.

I don't know what to do!

Oh, yes I do! I'm going

to phone all my relatives.

- Sheila!

- Mr. Cortland...

...who is that with Mr. Curtis?

- Miss Sheila Winthrop.

- Oh, Winthrop. A romance?

- Yes. They're practically engaged.

You can quote her as

being deliriously happy.

- Thank you.

- Ming dynasty.

"New romance in show world.

Robert Curtis and Sheila Winthrop."

And then it goes on:

"The announcement will be a surprise

to the many friends...

...of the famous choreographer

who is directing...

...the numbers for the modern revue

at the Cortland Theatre."

What else does it say, Louise?

That's about all, except you are

quoted as being "deliriously happy."

Who do you suppose

put that in the paper?

Mr. Curtis, naturally.

And that's carrying things too far.

You'd think he'd quit

after what I did to him last night.

- Did he know you were doing it?

- Of course.

He must have known

I was trying to embarrass him.

Apparently that newspaper article

was to even things up.

- How do you know it was him?

- I'd believe anything of him.

I thought I liked him once.

Now I know the gentleman.

Hello? Who?

Tom! Of course she is.

It's your captain.

Tom, dear, where are you?

You mean to say you left

the Army to run itself?

I've been transferred to Camp Weston

near where my mother lives.

I was going to ask you and

Louise to visit us for a while.

That sounds delightful.

Why don't you?

That was before I read

this morning's paper.

You mean it isn't so?

There's still a chance for me?

Fine! I'll be right up!

Hey! Why don't you watch

where you're going?

You're the first driver who chased a man

after he'd already missed him.

- Hey, buddy, who's car is that?

- Mine.

Parked it right next

to a fire hydrant.

That wasn't there when I parked!

Oh, I'm sure it wasn't.

Every time it rains...

...those fireplugs pop out of

the sidewalk like mushrooms.

What's your name?

Put it over here.

Let that be a lesson to you.

And that's what happened.

It was all part of a game.

I see. This Curtis fella pitched

and you caught.

Before the party broke up,

she did some pitching of her own.

- I'd say the score was even.

- I wouldn't.

Hello? Who is it?

Oh, just a minute, please.

Mr. Robert Curtis is in the lobby.

Should I tell him to go away?

No, tell him to come up.

It'll save me a trip to the theatre.

Will you come up, Mr. Curtis?

He sounded upset.

- I'd like to really upset him.

- You would?

You two wait in the other room.
