YOUR STORY 117 yours that class is everything? Class counts for more with everybody than anything else. Now you can kid yourself that we’ve made good with our old act and made money and saved money and all, but you can’t tell me that, if we didn’t class up our new one, we could make just as much and more than they can. Mickey We made good with the old act, and there wasn’t no class in it — ’Cause we got the material. Mickey, you’re a natural-born showman. You write better material than any one I know — Emma We’d be rich now if there had been. You’re a grand showman. What you’d a done with class! Mickey Hey, don’t try to bull yourself out of this argument now. We been doing this same act with new and better material for years and getting good dough with it. Now you want to change everything and add expense, and I tell you. No! plush drop for mine. Mickey Bull! You just want to blow the kale. Just like a fool woman. Out for show! It’s anihne for us. Get me? Emma And I tell you, no cheap, painted scenery for mine. Emma Oh, indeed? Mickey And there we are, right back where we started from. Mickey That’s where we started from. Emma Yes, right where we were when you let that httle agent kid you into joining this cheesey road show. Gee, I bet they routed this one out of the Sears-Roebuck catalogue. Emma Right in a cheesey road show !
