a great fellow .and you are going |
to hear a whole lot from him be- j

a better playwright than he is an ]
Actor, and that is going some.
Here is a story that Jim told me
that happened to a couple that had
just got married and come to New
York for the first time. They went
to a big Hotel and the wife went
out for a little while to do aonie
shopping and after awhile she come
Pack to the hotel and up on the
hotel floor all the doors looked alike
to her, but she picked out the one
she thought was the right one and
went there and knocked and whispered,
"I'm back. Honey! Let me .
ID.
No answer.
"Honey! Oh, Hooey! I any I'm
back."
Still no answer.
"Oh, aay. Honey let me In! Yon
hear me. Honey?"
Then a 81 ran (re man's voire bellowed
out from the inside, "Madam,
this is not a beehive I This is a
bathroom!"
