Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hicksville Bungler Scene: The office of the Hicksville Bungler. Doors R. and L. A litter of papers covers the Editor´s desk. Editor sound asleep and snoring deeply, his feet on desk. Commotion heard off stage L. and Pete enters, rubbing his face shamefacedly. Editor awakes suddenly at sound of commotion. Editor. Hello, Pete! What´s that rumpus all about? Pete. Nutt´n. Just tried to steal a kiss from the type setter, ´n she slapped my face. (Rubbing his cheek.) Some slap, too, believe me! Editor. Well, how many kisses did you succeed in getting before the referee called for a breakaway. Pete. Just one - and that was enough, too. Editor. Well, it´s all right this time, but don´t let it happen again. We can´t bother to start the press around this plant for a single impression. Remember that. (Pete starts to go.) Wait a minute! We haven´t had any visitors this morning, have we? Pete. Nobody but some woman who´s trying to earn a talking machine getting up a club for the Fireside Companion. She wanted your subscription. Editor. Subscription! Gosh, that´s what we need ourselves, most as bad as we do news. I thought when we advertised to swap subscriptions for news items, we´d be swamped, but it doesn´t seem to look that way, after all. Guess there isn´t anything happening in this burg, or if there is, folks want it kept quiet, like - well, like Ike Williams´ engagement to the Widow Brown. Pete (looking off R.). Hello, here´s someone coming now. It´s an old geezer with a bunch of spinach blowing in the breeze. Guess he means biz, too; he´s hitting the high spots only in getting over the ground, anyway. Editor. Well, you can beat it back to the press room, and remember, leave that girl alone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
