My part isn't either, but it doesn't worry me. These authors— I don't memorize until dress rehearsal night. What's the use. They don't know themselves by that time what lines they told you to keep in or put in or take out. The next morning the critics re-write it anyway for the manager— I don't begin to memorize really—until we're settled for a run. Ruler. You'll throw me all out if you give wrong cues— Miss Ivory. Oh! When I can't use my tongue, I let my eyes talk. The public doesn't know the difference. I don't have to act, just be myself. They engage me for my eyes.
