back to these puppy days o mine when

girl like her. She does scene telling
Aunt Lane about her sweetheart SO real
II like that / felt as old as some O. these
Bulgarians that drink buttermilk. And
| Of course she has to go and fall in love
head-over-heels is the only way to say
it with that foppish looking English
man actor Who's he:"

'They picked him fine and he ain'i
disappointing either. Anyway he acts
like and looks like what expect an
English actor to look like who's been
playing at Shakespeare. That boys got

too, 1 believe. He's a side show in that
scene with Miss Prolog where he calmly
pushed poor Hewston aside as he would
do a fly, provided the fly wasn't toe
pesky. And the way he plays up in
that same scene with the hats warmed
the cookies o. my heart"
''Say, who was that bird with that
voice? You know the one mean"
''Oh; he's the actor Camperdown who
plays the part of Polonius in the Ham
let scenes. He's r. Il. Murfree."
t'Wellt Mr.. Murfree's got my respects
If could do my voice like that I'd be

I'd q laughed at him with the rest o
you If he'd been sort o. usual, but thu
way he does his hands and feet an'
