But as you pass the guardian devils and cross the threshold of that restaurant you turn your back on the present and find yourself in the Far East. I liked it better than Mrs. Ess Kay's gorgeous Aladdin's Cave, for there's nothing imitation or stagey about this place.
"All these organizers, yes, and a whole lot of the German and Squarehead farmers themselves, they're seditious as the devil disloyal, non-patriotic, pro-German pacifists, that's what they are!"

And you have it, and the play is going to be wonderful, and I shall produce it.
