Billy Crane look like a plate of cold

Tony told me once that If he
could play the opposite part to Marie
Dressler the public would have to bite
it's way into the theater.
He thinks he has Pete Daley down
with both shoulders on the carpet.
and the stake holder is ladling out the
gate money.
Tommy has an idea that it would be
like finding money to dramatize Ma
jor Ponds "Eccentricities of Genius"
and let him play all the people from
Ann Eliza Young to Bill Nye.
Tommy has been after me to get
Dave Belasco to write him a play, but
I've stood him off by telling him that
l thought Sardou could fit him better.
Every day he drives up to my ranch
in hanson to find out If Sardou has
cabled yet.
