The irristible Billie descended on
the opposite side and strutting
slowly back and forth he muttered
soft love words to himself. Final

and fell flat. That was the climax.
The curtain fell.
The next scene was in the castle.
Only Eva and Willie were on the

to practice for the last time, for
that afternoon the show was to
take place.
Everything went fine! The Judge
