Speaker 1: here of an afternoon program, life did not become beautiful.
Speaker 1: He misses the applause, the spotlight, those Shakespearean roles he
Speaker 1: reveled in. Today, his theatrical activity is limited to an
Speaker 1: occasional Shakespearean reading at his theatrical club, the Prosidium. Last

Speaker 1: the maid is up and is now in her third
Speaker 1: week of spring cleaning.
Speaker 2: If they made me a king, I'd still be a
Speaker 2: slave around here, if if they made me Oh, good morning, honey,
Speaker 2: Good morning, Agnes.
Speaker 3: Where's Edwin? I woke up this morning?
Speaker 2: He's Google, don't ask me. A half hour ago he
Speaker 2: come rushing out his pantsown over his pajamas, threw on
Speaker 2: his coat and ran out.
Speaker 3: Edwin rushed down to get the morning paper.
Speaker 2: See's so anxious about? Is he afraid? The Army's calling
Speaker 2: up the reserve officers from the Civil.
Speaker 3: War Civil War. Oh, that's silly.
Speaker 2: It was a revolutionary war.
Speaker 3: The Revolutionary War. I please, Agnes, I don't know.
Speaker 2: I've seen those pictures of the Spirit of seventy six.
Speaker 2: And if your husband ain't the guy with a bandage
Speaker 2: on his head, I'll eat the drumm he's beating.
Speaker 3: Oh, Ednes, stop joking. You know Edwin is merely in
Speaker 3: his middle age.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like I said, he's from the Middle Ages.
Speaker 3: Oh, please, For a man in his fifties, Edwin is
Speaker 3: very well preserved.
Speaker 2: Well, you should have gotten a load of them this morning.
Speaker 2: It looked like the preserves went.
Speaker 3: Bad, Agnes. Don't annoy him this morning. You know, last
Speaker 3: night he gave a Shakespearean readings at the Proscenium Club.
Speaker 2: Poor Shakespeare. Why don't your husband pick on a guy
Speaker 2: who's alive and can fight back, Agnes.
Speaker 3: It was a triumph like old times. Edwin's voice was
Speaker 3: as strong as ever, full of fire and resonance. You
Speaker 3: should have come along.
Speaker 2: What for I can't hear a thing with my punctured
Speaker 2: ear drums.
Speaker 3: You came to hear him recite last year?
Speaker 2: Hang, know what do you think punctured my ear drums?
Speaker 3: Now, Agnes, your ears are perfectly all right, or try
Speaker 3: and understand last night meant so much to Edwin. There
Speaker 3: were some critics there too, all his old friends in
Speaker 3: the theater. He proved that he's still the magnificent Montcule.
Speaker 3: That's why I rushed out so early this morning to
Speaker 3: find out if any of the critics mentioned him.
Speaker 2: Or the telephone, I'll get it, let me take care.
Speaker 3: Hello, this is missus Montague, doctor who t Horatio Wellington.
Speaker 3: I thank you, sir. He'll be very please. How much
Speaker 3: you enjoyed him last night? Proposition for him? Well, I
Speaker 3: can't answer for him, doctor, He's pretty busy these days.
Speaker 3: I surely try later. Oh Agnes, it's like old times
Speaker 3: in the theater the morning after opening night, strangers calling
Speaker 3: up to congratulate Edwin, Edwin rushing down to get the
Speaker 3: morning papers for the reviews, the whole town talking about it.
Speaker 2: The next day the play closes.
Speaker 3: Oh Agnes, there's no business like show business.
Speaker 2: That was Monicue's trouble when he was in a show.
Speaker 2: There was no business.
Speaker 3: Now now you are speaking about Edwin Montague, the foremost
Speaker 3: Shakespearean actor of our time.
Speaker 2: So he keeps saying, we'll.
Speaker 3: He'll be back any minute with the newspapers. You'd better
Speaker 3: get breakfast ready, Why bother with breakfast?
Speaker 2: If his name is mentioned, he'll eat the papers, Agnes.
Speaker 3: He hasn't been on the stage in eight years. Giving
Speaker 3: a reading at his club may not seem very important,
Speaker 3: but it's a high spot for him. Agnes, as a
Speaker 3: favor to me. Be nice to him this morning.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be sweet as a favored of you, or
Speaker 2: there he is.
Speaker 4: Good morning, Edwin, Good morning, it's a beautiful morning.
Speaker 3: Anything in the newspapers about your reading last night?
Speaker 4: Yes, Lily, the critics seemed to still remember me. They
Speaker 4: penned a few paragraphs about my little effort last night.
Speaker 3: I bet they raved about you.
Speaker 4: Will They did wax enthusiastic, but I guess it was
Speaker 4: just for old time's sake.
Speaker 3: Nonsense. You were a triumph last night. People have been phoning.
Speaker 2: Really, congratulations, mister Montague who said that.
Speaker 3: Don't be so startled. It was Agnes congratulating you.
Speaker 5: It's congratulating.
Speaker 6: I don't believe it, Edwin.
Speaker 3: Agnes is trying to be nice to you, she said, congratulations.
Speaker 4: Well she probably thinks it's a swear word.
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? He's still a beast, all.
Speaker 3: Right, Agnes, get his breakfast.
Speaker 2: I'll fix something for him. Just say the word honey,
Speaker 2: and I'll make you a widow.
Speaker 5: Just coffee, black, coffee, just black.
Speaker 2: I was hoping it went cream this morning. It just
Speaker 2: went sour.
Speaker 3: Get it, Agnes.
Speaker 4: Okay, then a look as if my deal with the
Speaker 4: mayor would go through.
Speaker 3: A deal with the mayor.
Speaker 4: Yes, on the opening day of the baseball season, instead
Speaker 4: of the first ball he's throwing out.
Speaker 3: Agnes, when you're terrible, Agnes made an effort to be
Speaker 3: nice to you. Now, the least you could do was think, all.
Speaker 4: Right, Lily, all right, I'll be charming to her. Now,
Speaker 4: listen to what they said about me in the papers.
Speaker 3: Sit down and read them to me. Oh, Edwin, it's
Speaker 3: just as it used to be. After our opening.
Speaker 4: Nights, here's John Chapman in the news. Listen last night

Speaker 4: gave an informal reading of selections from Shakespeare.
Speaker 2: Here's your coffee, Agnes, Edwin's reading mind. If I don't listen,
Speaker 2: please go on.
Speaker 4: It No, Lily, if it bothers Agnes, I could always
Speaker 4: take the newspaper downstairs and read it in some doorway.
Speaker 3: It wouldn't stop that.
Speaker 2: Oh my, isn't I mister Huffady half pachy this morning?
Speaker 3: As now, go on, mister Hufferdy, go on?
