Jack, that was wonderful! Why, you actually cried! Say, do it that way tonight and you’ll be a knock-out. [Lee bolts out, calling as he goes.] All right, Gene! Ready for the next number!
[Jack is alone on the stage. He sinks into a chair as the curtain falls.]
ACT THREE
Scene: Same as Act I.
Time: About an hour and a half after Act II.
At rise: Stage is empty. Since it is about six o’clock on a September day, the light is beginning to wane. Throughout this act, dark gradually creeps into the room, while outside the window a bar of sunset radiance deepens in contrast.
There is a knock on the door, and Levy, the Shamus, or Sexton, corner in. He looks about, opening one or two doors, and apparently he finds no one. He shrugs his shoulders, muttering and humming to himself, and is about to go out when Moey enters from the music room.
