:38:05
the new dramatic thunderbolt
of the London theatre

:38:11
"Good Night Bassington" has been accepted
:38:15
- you don't mean it?
- did you sign the contract?

:38:17
in letters of fire
:38:19
100 pounds advance
:38:26
it's colossal.
Bank of England

:38:28
- that's a good bank, eh?
- the best!

:38:41
by the way Gilda,
I neglected to mention

:38:46
I'm supposed to go to London
:38:50
- tonight?
- tonight

:38:51
Mr Douglas seems to thing
that I might be a great help during rehearsals

:38:57
- you know, half the play depends on some ...
- on bringing out its brittle quality

:39:02
oh yes
:39:05
what do you think? shall I go?
:39:09
well you could do a lot in London,
there's no doubt about that

:39:11
it'll help the publicity of course
:39:13
but on the other hand if you stay here
you can finish your new play

:39:17
and yet you might make some valuable connections in London
:39:20
but I'm just wondering if you could do as good work
in the midst of all that hullabaloo
as you could if you stayed here

:39:28
oh well Tom, I...
:39:29
Gilda, I couldn't do good work anywhere without you
:39:34
and you know it
:39:35
and if there should be any curtain call after that third act
:39:39
how could I take the bows alone
:39:41
you're nice Tom
:39:43
I'm not going
:39:55
step a little more forward Mr Chambers.
smile please.
take off your hat Mr Douglas.
hold it
