next day there's a world at your feet

she was hounded by reporters

interviewers columnist helped along by

me of course she was a natural for

publicity a real Cinderella story and

all the time she was getting thinner and

more tired but she'd been working very

hard and I thought it was just that I

was too blind to even suspect anything

more serious until one day in a dressing

room

It weighs a ton oh what a day what a

lovely lovely day I've never worked so

hard in all my life

much lately all those long speeches

get the doctor's office phone he wants

you to come be an after-work

wrong with order dress code now I don't

matter of routine her next-of-kin she

failed in the name of William Dunnigan

how sick is she doctor she's a very sick

girl mr. Dunnigan

she has been for a long time coal dust

weakened her lungs as a child we call

that anther kosis it isn't always

serious if we get it in time I said but

Olga has developed tuberculosis her

x-rays are pretty bad

she needs what we call surgical arrest

she should have had this supervised rest

a long time ago if we could send it to a

sanitarium now I tried to persuade her

to but something seems to be driving her

she's determined to finish this picture

even if it kills I know but she will get

well if it's not too late perhaps you

and I working together can save her

there's always a chance no more than

that huh
