Marchbanks Is also a dog, a Seal
yham to be exact, and he has a role
he can really get his teeth into
in kiss and Tell" the hit comedy
at the Biltmore. Marchbanks never
caused any trouble until one night
recently when curtain-time ap.
preached and he had not yet shown
up at the theater. The stage man
ager was quickly going nuts and
muttering about bringing the mat
ter to the attention of Actors Equity
Association when Charlie Harris,
who runs things for Producer George
Abbott. remembered that Norman
Light, manager Of the Imperial, had
q dog that accompanied him to
work every night,
Blue Boy Was Readied
A courier was dispatched quickly
to see Light and arrangements were
made for his animal, a black cocker
spaniel named Blue Boy, to fill in
for the delinquent Marchbanks.
Blue Boy was introduced around to
the members Of the cast, given a
quick fiu-in on his duties, combed
and brushed to sickness and attired
in the large pink silk bow that goes
with the role. Stage history was
about to be made when the stage
door burst open and in rushed
Marchbanks.
Star and understudy glared at
each other for a moment, but hui
mans interviewed before either could
start anything. The management
tried II atone by furnishing Blue
Boy with q piece Of chocolate,
fresh bone and a promise Of a part
In another Abbott production. It
tried to be Arm with Marchbanks,
but the latter put up such an in
jured front at the evidence Of lack
70 faith in his reliability that he,
too, had to be placated with choc-
olae and q bone.
Blue Boy went back to the I'm
perial to nurse his ambitions. Light
suggested that it might be good
idea If Marchbanks hired q body
guard for a few days until Blue Boy
got over his disappointment.
