The Philanthropist

Box 13 with the star of Paramount Pictures, Ellen Land, as Dan Holiday. Dear Box 13, care of the star times, if that there is, if yours is on the level, if you'll go anyplace, do anything, I'll be waiting for you three tomorrow afternoon in the park.

I'll be sitting on one of the benches near the lake. I'll be sitting on one of the benches near the lake, and you'll know me because I got red hair. That was the letter written on the back of an old hand bill.

Poor Red. I wonder if he would have written a letter, I don't know what was going to happen. You know, I think maybe he would have. And now back to box 13, and Dan Holliday's newest adventure, the philanthropist.

It's your dirty and awful finger marks. Ah, Susie, don't be a snob. I'm not Mr. Holliday, but it's very evident that this person isn't too particular. Why, Susie, you went through a whole sentence without shifting gears.

Oh, I can be careful of my renunciation if I want to be. Oh, Susie had to spoil it. Never mind, it's a fine day, so I'll be in the park by three o'clock to see what red has on his mind.

It was just three when I turned into the park. The benches by the lake were pretty well filled, and I looked around for one that was being held down by a person. Red hair, and I saw him.

Suzy must have been psychic only she wouldn't have pronounced it that way. Red was dressed in a suit that must have had a tentative date with a pressing iron, maybe ten years before, and didn't keep it.
