To the theatergoing public.
1:55:06
I wrote a play called Popularity.
1:55:09
Mr. Harris and I produced that play.
1:55:13
In the opinion of people we respect,
it is a bad play.
1:55:17
In this, we heartily concur.
It is a very bad play.
1:55:23
I do humbly apologize and ask forgiveness...
1:55:26
...for having presented anything
of which you couldn't possibly approve.
1:55:30
There will be five more performances.
1:55:32
Please miss them.
1:55:34
Signed...
1:55:37
Happy?
1:55:41
It's a wonderful second-act curtain.
1:55:44
Send copies of this
to all the New York papers.

Extra! Lusitania torpedoed
by German sub! Extra!
1:56:13
This is it, George.
1:56:15
And we were worried about
the success or failure of a show.
1:56:18
Now we've really got
something to worry about.
1:56:33
Seems it always happens.
1:56:35
Whenever we get too high-hat,
too sophisticated for flag-waving...
1:56:39
... some thug nation decides we're
a pushover, all ready to be blackjacked.
1:56:44
And before long we're looking up anxiously
to be sure the flag's still waving over us.
