A THING is DONE?
theatrical manager browbeat me,
even if l have to do something else
besides acting. You see, MaPgie, I
did not understand that however
good girl is in one part she has to
begin all over again when she goes
out looking for another engagement.
"The next morning, after break
fast, presented myself at that Office
and found Mr.. Manager looking par
ticularly ugly. He greeted me with
a grunt as l smiled good morning to
him
Only that you have been so
short a time on the stage, young
lady, you would have understood that
note from the manager cannot be
treated with contempt
He stopped, expecting me to say
something. My long society training
stood me in good stead and l sat
there and did not say a word, but
looked slightly interested. I made
the manager perfectly furious. I
don't know whether you are a d
fine actress or a d fine fool he
spUttered.
perhaps both, I answered pleas
antly.
We'll, you won't have a chance
to be the first long, for Earnest Law
ton says he cannot play with you any
longer, particularly as the part was
written for his wife and she now
finds herself quite well enough to
play it. In consequence, I am to give
you the usual two weeks notice.
q rose deliberately and started for
the door, for l was determined that
man should have no encouragement
from me to say anything to hurt me.
Here, hereH he shouted, where
are you going?'

my telephone rang. 1t was the man

Where have you been all day? I
waited at the office of the theater last
night for an hour and a half after
the show closed and l have been call
ing you up at intervals all day. Didn't
you get my nOte?'
Yes, but you distinctly said in
the note that l was to see you at my
convenience and it was not cOnve-
nient for me to call last night or any
time today
There was an ugly little laugh
and then the manager said, oh, you

I don't know what you mean by

know am going to bed now. If you
wish, III be at the theater Office to-
morrow morning at II o'clock
Il did not wait to hear any more
and hung up the receiver. Before I
went to bed, Margie, I took stock of
my affairs. l found that l had about
