“Innocent Laughter.”
“Innocent Laughter!” Tom Agate looked at Peggy and Peter in amazement. “But that’s a hit! I understand it’s the biggest thing this season.”
“It is,” Peggy said. “Oscar Stalkey’s forming a road company of it. I’m to be general understudy and Peter is company manager.”
“But what sort of a part could I play?”
“Let me tell you about Innocent Laughter,” Peggy said, settling herself in her chair. Tom Agate nodded agreement and for the next few minutes, Peggy outlined the plot and the possibilities in the play.
“... so you see,” she finished at last, “the part of the grandfather is simply made to order for you.”
“Who’s playing it now?” Tom asked. Peggy saw he was beginning to become interested.
“Hiram Baker,” Peter said.
Tom Agate made a disgusted face. “But he’s no actor! I remember Hiram as a youngster!”
Peter laughed. “Then prove you can do better.”
