Show OFFER TO CLARKE BY MAN FROM POCATELLO Harry Corson Clarke strolled Into the grillroom of the Wilson hotel yesterday yester-day afternoon. As he made hla appearance ap-pearance a man dressed in homespun walked over to him. "I'm Mister Alex Tansey, from Poca-tello," Poca-tello," he said. "Come down to the city for a right good time. Knew you from your picture. Always wanted to meet a real live actor. Say, I've been writin' a theater piece myself. It's goin' to have three town pumps in it with two hut-tels with portycos. I'm thlnkln' of havln' It all the more reel-llstlc by hevin' a whlttlln' contest ln one of th' acts. Mister Martin, our school teacher, teach-er, says It will be a hummer. I'll let you have It for 82. It took me a whole day to think it np right out of my own head, too, although I copied a little from some school books. I says a man ain't entitled to more than $2 for a day's work, and if he gets more he must get It dishonest. If you don't want to pay cash wot have you got to swop?" |
