Presenting Lily Mars

brings you June Allison and Van Hefflin in presenting Lily Mard. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Kealey. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Some years ago, as a director in the theatre, I was frequently confronted by that touching human problem, a young girl in search of a stage career.

And I know from experience that that fire of ambition is most difficult to quench. You will understand that from tonight's play, Presenting Lily Mars, starting two highly talented Metro Golden Bear players, June Allison and Van Hefflin.

The latter appears in his original screen role as the Harris producer faced with all the artifice that novices will use to crash the theatre. It's time for Act 1 of Presenting Lily Mars, starting June Allison in the title role, and then Heflin as John Thornway.

Good luck, Lillie Mars. Have your old career. Go on, be an actress. All I gotta say is goodbye. Oh, hello, Charlie. Got any bubblegum? No. Where's my hat? Davie? I don't call that cat, Charlie. Only doorknobs.

Say you should see this one. I am not interested in doorknobs, or in your sister Lillie. Goodbye. Oh, hello, Charlie. Lillie's upstairs, I think. I know where your daughter is, Mrs. Marsnett. no longer is of any concern to me. I'm leaving.

Hey Charlie, wait for me. Never again. Millie. I believe you've heard that poor boy's feeling. Oh poor Charles, he's so young mother. And it hurts me to hurt him, but what can I do? It's Charles, oh my Korean.

The foregoing bit of brilliant dialogue just occurred in a Mars residence. A plain little house on the front window of which hangs a sign reading Mrs. Mars. hats made to order, plain sewing and piano lessons.
