Good morning, Pearl.

Marriage didn't work out too good.

Good thing you didn't see me in that neat coat.

Said, California's the place you ought to be.

I ain't gonna spend another night in this place.

But I'll find a place to stay in town.

Ah, Thunder Grant, the old place ain't changed a bit.

Well, I'd a heap rather stay here.

Well, Pearl says there's going to be a brand new picture from Hollywood called, uh, Ben-Hur.

Who's in it?

According to Pearl, it's got the two biggest actors there is, Francis X. Bushman and Raymond Navarro.

I'd still rather stay here, Pa.

We's all supposed to kind of surround Mr. Brewster and brag on Pearl's piano playing during the picture.

Well, Jethro can brag extra for me.

Jethro ain't gonna be there.

He'd just sit there all night and complain about Mr. Brewster having his room.

Oh, come on, Ellie.

Don't you want to help Pearl get a husband?

Okay, Pa.

Bye, Maggie.
