We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Brownie and Bunny of “The Follies” 279 Bunny’s brown hair a shade-and-a-half darker than Brownie’s. It was Brownie who was dieting, so I don’t have to say that Bunny is the slightly slimmer. Oh, not that Brownie is too ! I was interrupted in this contemplation by a question from Bunny “Do you think we look alike?” “No— o.” “Thank you !” said Bunny. “Thank you!” said Brownie. “When we wake up every morning, facing the same old faces, it’s some comfort to know they don’t look alike.” “Have you a cigaret?” said Bunny to Brownie. “I’m going to get you a long cigaret holder — to keep you away from cigarets,” said Brownie to Bunny. “Don’t expect me to laugh at that one before breakfast,” said Bunny, powdering her grapefruit. “And, anyway, I have a dim recollection you pulled it last night.” “Let the dead night bury its dead,” Brownie warned. “I was only rehearsing it last night. You don’t expect me to pull anything on a critical audience like this without a tryout ! I might get my part taken away !” “Your part!” laughed Bunny. “Just what are you distinguished for in the ‘Follies’?” I asked Brownie. “You know Jessie Reed?” she asked me. “The ‘Follies’ beauty,” said I, “over whose Titian hair Blythe Daly sighed rapturously when she said, ‘Oh, Jessie, you’re so Venetian!’?” “And Jessie answered, ‘I don’t think you’re so damned good yourself!' I see you know Jessie,” said Brownie. “Then you know she’s the highest-salaried show girl in the ‘Follies.’ Well, I’m the lowest.”
