   IS IT WORTH IT

   And after that I can imagine the audience dispersing,
and the now educated children going off to their homes
and one saying as he enters—

   "Gee, I seen a great picture show at school to-day."

   "Yes?" says his mother, "and what was it?"

   "Oh, it was all about a gink that went round the cabarets
trying to sell an invention what he'd got but nobody
wouldn't look at it till at last one dame gave him three
oyster boats, see? and so he and a lot of other guys
loaded them up and hiked off across the ocean."

   "And where did he go to?"

   "Africa. And he and the other guys had a great stand in
with the natives and he'd have sold his invention all
right but one old dame got him alone in a hut and poisoned
him and took it off him."

   That, I think, is about the way the film would run. When
it is finished I must get President Shurman, or whoever
it was, to come and see it.
