Last week, Phil went to see Daryl Zannick a 20th century fox to find out why he hasn't been used in another picture. Mr. Zannick told him why. This was quite a blow to Phil's ego, but he's not taking it lying down.

Ah, what does Zanuck know? Just what did Mr. Zanuck tell you, Philip? Well, he said my acting was neither fish nor foul. I disagree with him. I think you're acting as foul as anybody. Alice, didn't we originally hire him as a straight man?

Phil, Mr. Zanuck did tell you that if a small comic part ever comes up, he'll use you. Well, that's my point. Why wait for a small comic part? Why don't you use me as a dramatic actor?

They're looking for good dramatic actors. But you haven't had any experience in dramatic parts. Apparently, my dear, there are things in my past which are totally unaware to you. That I don't got. What's it got to do with acting?

Look, you don't know it, but when I was young, I traveled with a stock company. What did you do in stock? I'm glad you asked that. For three years I played the title role in The Drunkard.

Well this of course who didn't need any rehearsal. I'll have you know that the part was repugnant to me. I hated every moment of it. And because of all the drinking I had to do, I gave up the part.
