A play with such a good story is certain to succeed. George had previously obliged with a brief description of the plot of The Footpills. 'Did you like the story? he said, tenderly. 'I thought it was fine. 'How sympathetic you are! cooed George, glutinously, edging a little closer. 'Do you know 'Shall we be going back to the hotel? said the girl.
Footpills stock has gone up with a run. Wait till Monday and see what sort of a house we shall draw. By the way, the reporter fellow said one funny thing. He asked if you weren't the same man who was rescued yesterday by a girl. I said of course not that you had only come down yesterday. But he stuck to it that you were. 'He was quite right. 'What! 'I was. Mr Mifflin sat down on the bed.
Those noisome creatures, the hired murderers of Fate's Footpills, descended upon Marvis Bay early next afternoon, and George, meeting them at the station, in reluctant pursuance of a promise given to Arthur Mifflin, felt moodily that, if only they could make their acting one-half as full of colour as their clothes, the play would be one of the most pronounced successes of modern times.
Tell me: what pulls people into a theatre? A good play? Sometimes. But failing that, as in the present case, what? Fine acting by the leading juvenile? We have that, but it is not enough. No, my boy; advertisement is the thing. Look at all these men on the beach. Are they going to roll in of their own free wills to see a play like The Footpills? Not on your life.
The Footpills as Arthur Mifflin, the leading juvenile in the great play, insisted upon calling it, much to George's disapproval was his first piece. Never before had he been in one of those kitchens where many cooks prepare, and sometimes spoil, the theatrical broth. Consequently the chaos seemed to him unique.
