"And so my hat which has,
lo, these many seasons,
1:29:08
become firmly rooted about my ears,
is lifted to Miss Harrington."
1:29:12
"I am available for dancing in the streets
and shouting from the housetops."
1:29:16
I thought that one went out with Woollcott.
Now listen to this.
1:29:19
"Miss Harrington had much to tell and
these columns shall report her faithfully
1:29:23
about the lamentable practice
in our theatre of permitting
1:29:27
mature actresses to continue playing roles
1:29:30
requiring a youth and vigour
of which they retain but a dim memory."
1:29:35
- I just can't believe it.
- It gets better.
1:29:38
"About the understandable reluctance
of our entrenched first ladies of the stage
1:29:42
to encourage, shall we say,
younger actresses,
1:29:45
and Miss Harrington's unsupported
struggle for opportunity."
1:29:48

- In this rat race,
1:29:51
everybody's guilty till proved innocent.
1:29:54
One of the differences between
the theatre and civilisation.
1:29:59
What gets me is how all the papers happened
to catch that particular performance.
1:30:04
Lloyd says it's a publicity release.
1:30:06
The witch must have sent out Indian Runners,
1:30:08
snatching critics out of bars, steam rooms
and museums or wherever they hole up.
1:30:13
She won't get away with it.
Nor will Addison DeWitt and his poison pen.
1:30:17
If Equity or my lawyer can't
or won't do anything about it,
1:30:21
I shall personally stuff that pathetic little
lost lamb down Mr DeWitt's ugly throat!
1:30:36
I came as soon as I read that piece of filth.
I ran all the way.
1:30:51
Bill's here, baby.
1:30:54
Everything's all right now.
