00:01:24,015 --> 00:01:26,529
Naomi Murdoch, that's me.
2
00:01:26,615 --> 00:01:31,484
Not quite at the bottom of the bill yet
and not quite at the end of my rope.
3
00:01:31,575 --> 00:01:35,204
But I can't say I'm making an impression
on audiences these days.
4
00:01:35,295 --> 00:01:37,729
Not that I ever made much anyway.
5
00:01:37,815 --> 00:01:41,285
But now with the season over
and the heat of the summer coming...
6
00:01:41,375 --> 00:01:45,368
the air in these broken-down theatres
is even staler than usual.
7
00:01:45,615 --> 00:01:48,607
And, brother, there's not much
to look forward to.
8
00:01:49,375 --> 00:01:53,004
Well, I guess some people might say
maybe I asked for it.
9
00:01:53,695 --> 00:01:57,404
Boy, that audience is like ice
out there tonight.
10
00:01:57,975 --> 00:02:01,047
These hicks wouldn't get off their hands
for Lillian Russell.
11
00:02:01,135 --> 00:02:03,126
Here's some mail for you.
12
00:02:03,295 --> 00:02:07,413
Well, I started out holding the hoops
for Miller's Wonder Dogs.
13
00:02:07,495 --> 00:02:10,805
- I guess I can always go back to it.
- For Pete's sake, Naomi.
14
00:02:10,895 --> 00:02:13,967
You're too classy for vaudeville.
You ought to go back to legit.
15
00:02:14,055 --> 00:02:16,285
Yeah, they loved me in Detroit.
16
00:02:16,375 --> 00:02:19,970
There's real prestige in legit.
New parts all the time.
17
00:02:20,055 --> 00:02:22,888
You don't have to worry about getting old.
18
00:02:23,135 --> 00:02:25,774
What's the matter, honey?
You look like you saw a ghost.
19
00:02:25,855 --> 00:02:28,005
- No.
- Bad news?
20
00:02:28,095 --> 00:02:30,529
Well, it's a laugh, that's all.
21
00:02:32,415 --> 00:02:35,691
- "Dearest mother."
- I told you it was a laugh.
22
00:02:35,775 --> 00:02:38,653
"I don't know if you ever think of me,
but I think of you.
23
00:02:38,735 --> 00:02:43,650
"I'm graduating from high school this year
and I'm in the senior play on May 20.
24
00:02:43,895 --> 00:02:47,012
"I suppose this doesn't sound much
to a great star like you."
25
00:02:47,095 --> 00:02:48,164
Go ahead.
26
00:02:48,255 --> 00:02:50,723
"And I know your career
must keep you very busy."
27
00:02:50,815 --> 00:02:51,850
Gets funnier, doesn't it?
28
00:02:51,935 --> 00:02:55,894
"But there's only one present I would like
and that is to have you there.
29
00:02:55,975 --> 00:02:57,647
"Your adoring, Lily."
30
00:02:57,735 --> 00:02:59,134
You never said...
31
00:02:59,215 --> 00:03:01,809
That I had a kid?
I've got three. Two girls and a boy.
32
00:03:01,895 --> 00:03:04,170
And I walked out on them. My husband, too.
33
00:03:04,255 --> 00:03:06,485
1900, it wasn't going to be
a Happy New Year for me,
34
00:03:06,575 --> 00:03:08,645
it was going to be a happy new century.
35
00:03:08,735 --> 00:03:10,327
Not much to be proud of, is it?
36
00:03:10,415 --> 00:03:12,565
And you haven't seen them
in all these years?
37
00:03:12,655 --> 00:03:14,486
I had a reason. Lots of reasons.
38
00:03:14,575 --> 00:03:17,373
You should have seen me trying to be
a wife of a schoolteacher
39
00:03:17,455 --> 00:03:19,923
back there in the great big town
of Riverdale, Wisconsin.
