Have to wait for the gang to clear out after the last show. Say, some mob of customers. Looks like they got Sid Grauman guessing. Certainly giving Hollywood a Grauman holiday. B-b-b-boy, I'll say they are.
Pictures is a tough racket. Yes, sir. You get yourself all het up over a scene, and then it doesn't turn out right. If you cried real tears on the stage, you'd panic 'em. But I cry real ones here, and have to keep on crying 'em for re-takes till I feel like an April shower.
