the local papers had ever said about
him.
And so the idea Of giving us a
private performance directed against
professional actress who had made
fun Of him. appealed equally TO his
vanity and his desire for retaliation.
If he, Mark Albeit. by his wonderful
acting could make Ruth Norris look
a fool in front of the others, could
take her in. and then join in the
laugh at her afterward, he would in
