But I know I should have held off with this Bamberger coming over from the Bigart when I was hardly out of bed, and says will three hundred and fifty a week interest me and promising he'll give me a chance to do that spur act again that was the hit of the piece " He broke off, conscious suddenly that the girl had for some time been holding a most peculiar stare rigidly upon him.
In the waiting room, where he now spent more of his time, he listened one day to the Montague girl chat through the window with the woman she called Countess. "Yeah, Pa was double-crossed over at the Bigart. He raised that lovely set of whiskers for Camillia of the Cumberlands and what did he get for it? just two weeks. Fact! What do you know about that?
I had two days at the Bigart in a hop-joint scene, and one over at the United doin' some board-walk stuff. I could 'a' had another day there, but the director said I wasn't just the type for a chick bathing-suit. He was very nice about it. Of course I know my legs ain't the best part of me I sure ain't one of them like the girl that says she's wasted in skirts." She grinned ruefully.
He was, on the contrary, representing a rival producer. He extended his card The Bigart Comedies. "I got your address from the Holden office, Mr. Armytage. I guess I routed you out of bed, eh? Well, it's like this, if you ain't sewed up with Baird yet, the Bigart people would like to talk a little business to you. How about it?" "Business?" Mr. Armytage fairly exploded this.
'No, nothing to-day, dear." She had imitated the little woman's voice in her accustomed reply. "Well, I didn't think there would be. I just thought I'd ask. You ain't mad, are you? I could have gone on in a harem tank scene over at the Bigart place, but they wanted me to dress the same as a fish, and a young girl's got to draw the line somewhere.
He'd seen lots of 'em in his time, but this bird was a wonder. Yet Mr. Armytage was not really so granitic of nature as the Bigart emissary had thought him.
I done a Carmencita part in a dance-hall scene last month over to the Bigart, and right in the mi'st of the fight I get a glass of somethin' all over my gown that practically rooned it. I guess I rather do this refined cabaret stuff at least you ain't so li'ble to roon a gown. Still and all, after you been warmin' the extra bench for a month one can't be choosy.
"I wouldn't think of it," said the actor, still gruffly. "Do you mean that you can't come to the Bigart at all on any proposition?" "That's what I mean," confirmed Mr. Armytage. "Would three hundred and fifty a week interest you?" "No," said Mr. Armytage, though he gulped twice before achieving it. Mr. Walberg reported to his people that this Armytage lad was one hard-boiled proposition.
