TONIGHT" to REVEAL the marquee above it:
|
|

MEN LEAVE HOME" |
|
| INT.
HEILIG THEATER – LOBBY – SAME |
|
| A
large gathering of NICELY-DRESSED PEOPLE
attending an after-performance social. |
|
| BILLY
and JOSEPHINE are seen moving through the
crowd, followed by PUZZLED EYES and
QUESTIONING SMILES. |
|
| Josephine
comes over to greet ANNE BERRYMAN and FORREST
TAYLOR entering the lobby. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Forrest—
Good to see you. |
|
|
|
|
| Josephine, I’m so glad you could make it. |
|
|
|
|
|
| It was a great show! I’m sure you’ll have a
prosperous season. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Say, I don’t think you’ve met my leading lady.
Miss Berryman is a Wilkes
discovery, and I predict will
be a big favorite with
Portland
audiences. |
|
|
|
|
| Anne, this is Josephine Dillon, a former actress
herself, and now a well
respected teacher of the
craft. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Nice to meet you, Miss Dillon. |
|
|
|
|
| I’d like you both to meet a friend of mine. |
|
|
|
|
| William Gable is one of my top students. A real
talent with a bright future
ahead of him, too. |
|
|
|
| ANGLE TO REVEAL FRANZ |

|
|
|
|
|
| Hello, hon. I’d like you to meet Miss Dillon. |
|
|
|
|
| Josephine, this is Franz Dorfler. She’s the one
who suggested I take your
class. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Nice to meet you, my dear. You have a nice little
part, and I thought you played
it well. |
