to be walking along Fifth avenue or
Broadway or riding in the subway
just keep your ears wide open. You
won't hear much music except per-
haps a passing taxi or the crash OF
wheels on steel rails, but, brother,
you'll find out soon enough what
they mean by a big city slicker.
You're walking along Broadway for
instance, and what do you hear?
Faith: "He promised me a part but
now that the shows opening next
week, I guess all my friendship was
for nothing" Hope: HE told me to
drop him a card with my name and
address and wait until l heard from
him." Charity: Honest, chief, /
gotta get over to Joisey. Me mud
der is dyin'. All I need is a quar-
ter. Whatta you say, Mac, huh?"
Jersey bounce: For a guy with
his name and his following, he
knows as much about music as Don
aid Duck" The Three BIS: BE
tween Shostakovitch and Tschaikov-
sky, give me Debussy."
Casting: 81 walked up to him and
opened my mouth. Not the type
he says. 1 open my mouth again.
No. he says. That's all there was
to it." The dance: Trim he says
to me You oughta go far in this
racket. Yes, sir, with what you got
on the frame, you're a cinch.'
Classical: There is no appreciation
of the unities in our theater. /
should go so far as to say it
stinks." Ia = ra = ra = boom de = ay:
Bumps? When she does 'em, she
loosens the supports under the bal
cony." Moneybags: "I'd be willing
to put up the dough only you got to
get me an expert opinion-someone
like Katharine Cornell" Jungle
Love: "She has no right to call him
her husband. If it wasn't for the
children, she wouldn't have a leg to
stand on" Ou~t-of-towner: $50 this
is Broadway! Looks like any other
street to me except there's more
people walking around on it."
Fifth Avenue Smart Shop: "Dev-
astating original! 1t has just the
verve-the real spark of youth Sol"
The acquisitive instincts: 81 like the
n with all the shiny little dia-
monds. But it's much too ex-
pensive. We've got to consider the
future" The American-born, purse
proud refugee from Paris: "Ah, lie
Etats-Unis, what a wonderful
people. But surely, they do not know
how to live" (The old man prob
ably got the dough by selling con-
federate money to immigrants.) Big
business: Certainly I had several
millions in it. Not strictly legiti-
mate but good business-very good
business" The 400: 81 should invite
herl She doesn't even know what
fork to use for the potato salad"
Romance: $50 1 says to him,
'Whadda you mean, tryin' to kiss
me?' And he says to me, I'm
sorry Howdaya like thati"
Voice of the Subway: Cloak and
suit: THAT contractor! If he wasn't
my brother-in-law, I'd stop doing
business with the cut-throat." Trans
port worker: Look out, bud! Wait
for the next one. Wanna kill some
Office worker (blond and very
shapely): every time he die
to me, he looks at me so nice
I'm sure of it now" Department
store ~saleslady to department store
saleslady: "She says to me, L take
size So and l says to her polite
Madam, that's understate-
nent on your part and did she
Sport of kings: what a
lorsel If he ran any slower, he'd be
beside himself" Politics, Washing
on: 81 talked with him but he's
ncorruptible-no dice" Politics, AL
oany: "Our next governor will have
play ball or he won't last as
ong as that" Politics, City Hall:
We've got enough asphalt to last
wo administrations"
