It pays to advertise

by Roi Cooper Megrue; Walter Hackett

Rodney. Je start—je begin—je commence—un nouveau compagnie—le très grande compagnie de la universe—je suis le president.

Peale. Je suis le advertising agent. (After laugh, Johnson enters from door upper L. with a letter, and exits door lower L.)

Rodney. I’m the whole thing, see—and if we can do business with you for the French agency——

(Marie enters.)

Countess. Mais non, mais non, mais non, monsieur, je ne comprends pas.

Marie. I beg pardon.

Mary. What is it, Marie?

Marie. (In French dialect) Where is M. Martin?

Rodney. Marie! Another gift from Heaven.
