Critic’s Bitter
Comment
• ~ ^jL - - ■
By HELEN ST. BERNAEp
CAM KKLLEA awoke with a ateru
0 sense of disaster. U bad been two
o'clock before lie-had finished writing
his criticism on ‘The. Burnt Cautllg,"
Broadway's newest show, and had
turned It over to the editor. Then he
had gone out with ltoberts and the
boys to their favorite rendezvous. He
had wanted to forget tbe xbow; the
forlorn little figure who labored
through three heavy drab acts, mak
lug a futile effort to portray life In
Its lowest degradation. He had waul-
ed to forget the scathing criticism he
had written In his own inimitable
way; the denunciation of the play,
the author and the leading lady.
Below bis window he could bear the
early morning roar of the great city.
It was scarcely eight. He usually
slept until noon. His had been an un-
easy. fitful sleep those few hours,
through which lovely Margaret Nash
walked smiling, uuspolled, desirable.
All of New York was reading bis
criticism b.v now and he pictured the
hurt look tn her eyes. He had nor
wanted to go to the show, but he had
been assigned to it. The fellow’s
knew he loved IVggy Nash. He had
sent her roses and they had been
passed to her. over the footlights after
1 he first act. —^
“You haven’t congratulated me.
Sammy,'' she hud said to him three
months before when she had been
chosen to play (he leading part In
Hie sordid melodrama by a notorious
playwright of such plays.
“And I don'l Intend to, Peggy. 1
can't imagine you in one of those
plays . . . ant! besides, honey, you
can't act. Haven't you tried for two
years now, ami the best you have
done Is stock? I don’t want to hurt
.vou. J’ftggy. hut you are apt an aet-
rtas, pretty as you are. You were.in
tended to be a wife. Mine.”
•♦Til show you I can act. Sammy!
Mr. O Kegan watched me In 'Lights of
Broadway' and said I was not given
a chance, l^ . . well, I don't like
Ills kind of plays hut It may mean a
stepping stone to something betler.
and 1 am going to show you."
“And you won't marry me?” for the
hundredth time since she had come
front the little home town two years
before, intent upon a stage career.
•tNot until I am convinced l cam
not^he dn actress. Sammy. Oh. won't
you understand? You have had youi
career . you are one of Un-
best dramatic critics In the country
I heard some one say yesterday that
Sam Keller's morning newspaper col
unin can either break or makp a new
show. I tremble when I think what you
may say about 'The Burnt Candle
. . but 1 am going to show yon
I can act when given a chance, Sura-
m.v I’ll show you!"
She hadmt . . . and all New
York was reading the leading dra
matte critic’s comment on the new
show tills morning.
Beneath his door he could see the
edge of the morning paper. He took
a shower und rang for his breakfast,
and when the waiter came In, he tub!
the paper beside the tray. Over his
coffee he scanned the headlines on
the first page “THE UNEMPLOY
MENT PROBLEM"—probably today.
Peggy would be one of that vast
army of unemployed. “COLT) WAVE
SWEEPING THROUGH THE WEST."
-ANOTHER AVIATION KNDUR
ANCE CONTEST." -WELL-KNOWN
MOVING PICTURE STAR DIES IN
HOLLYWOOD." “BANK HELD UP
IN BRONX.' To page 2; then, stock
reports. The column was a Jumbled
mass of words, and Sam Keller blew
his nose violently. He loved Peggy
Nash, and he hnd'hurt her. He hud
killed her hopes, and his too, because
she would never forgive him now. His
column was on page 4. He would not
turn to It. He didn’t wunt to see it
Every word was stumped on his bruin ,
disgusting, lifeless, sordid, futile at-
tempt to portray life, were the word-
he had used.
His telephone rang—once, twice..
He knocked his arm against his coffee
cup when he reached for It. and the
dark fluid spread across the linen
cloth. He threw a napkin over tbe
stain and said. “Hello."
“Sam. 1 guess—you’re right."
“Peggy. I’m darned sorry, honey,
darned sorry.”
_ “Well, he told the truth, Sum. The
show was terrible. And I guess—I
was. too."
She said “He." Who did she
mean?
“He didn’t give us a loop hole. Sam.
and we’re done! I know now. I can’t
act. O’Regim said It was In my
hands to put It over and It didn’t go
But I’m glad they didn’t send yon to
see It I’m glad they sent tome one
else.”
Him! Who was she talking aboul
He shifted the receiver Into his left
hand nnd opened .the newspaper to
page 4.
“Sain—do you still feel tbe eatm
wjj—about me?" _ ___________________
“lluh? What did you say, Peggy'
lumping ,Je-Ho»-phat! What, dear?
Tbe critic's column had been left
unsigned. The editor and the other
fellows knew how he loved Peggt
Nash.
“I’ll be there In Just ten minutes
Pegf». to tell you."
“Bettar watt until tbe license bu
reau la open. Bam. and stop there ot.
year My ap. . . . I want to q*e
you roan before they wilt”
