4707. UNTIL MCALLISTER RETURNED

UNTIL MCALLISTER RETURNED
There didn't seem to have been a marvel in the
emerald city, and even Booth Tarkington was
gone. Early, before dawn anyway, there was
little to do, the two dogs slept, and only a
skeptic could take heart from dark things.
Lights went out along the alley as day returned.
'Lights' went out along the alley as day returned.'
Yes, practicing my lines like that took courage  -
I had my big scene to have learned by heart.
No one allows cue cards on this fearsome
stage. Pictures on the wall showed a
WWI vessel burning at sea; and
that was all.
