The Miracle of the Bells Page #8

your bill Dunnigan arch White's fat

stomach I have warm space and quite a

while

well well fellas this is really good do

you know who we're interviewing bill.

Dunnigan the press agent

the big super-duper press agent I read

an article about him last year

pulls big Daffy stunts to put over flop

shows and flop movies so that's what's

going on a press agent stunt they are

boys you must have thought we're a bunch

of rule journalists Dunnigan thinking

we'd go for that sort of thing

bells ringing for three days quite a gag

say if the great Marcus Harris really

wants to put over his picture you tell

him he can buy all sorts of space in the

newspapers so maybe hasn't heard about

that guy it's called paid advertising

I think I need this one

okay boys I'll admit I was trying to

pull a fast one but not for the reasons

you're thinking everything I told you is

true as far as I went how about I tell

you the whole story the AAP doesn't

print press agents copy Dunnigan now

look maybe it's a procedure story maybe

it isn't anyway it's not gonna hurt you

to listen as long as this bottle holds

up what I want to know is who's putting

up for the bells that's a fair question

the bells are being paid for by yours

truly bill Dunnigan with the aid of for

bad checks which I have simply given the

trusting clergy of coal town I've wired.

Harris for 10,000 to cover me if he

sends it fine if he doesn't our next

meeting will be held in the coal town

jail gentlemen

I wouldn't he send it because what Olga

died he decided not to release the

picture I'm doing all this on my own

I figured ringing the bells would be

news that had caused so much talk you'd

have to release it because the public

would demand it what's your interest in

the picture Danny I don't want to see.

August talent buried she died for it do

you want to hear why she felt it was

worth dying for

okay go ahead

sh*t I'll try to tell you in her own

words she finished the last scene in the

picture and collapsed they took her to

the hospital at night

she was so bad they wouldn't let me see

you

but the next morning at daybreak they

sent for me hello yeah hello baby

you tired good long rest lots of Sun and

we'll have you on your feet again but

you're gonna take it easy - you hear no

more of that getting there in a hurry

you're gonna get better I'm telling you

yeah will you promise me something

anything you want baby.

I want to be buried and go down beside

my father and mother wanna hear from

sent my undeterred daughter don't talk

like that

and I want them to ring the bell for me

they didn't bring it for my father in

six angels with white wings beside the

coffin

don't forget

sent my.

I like to think of the here outside of.

God.

I can see it

here's the picture really good it's

wonderful you're great in it I hope it's

true

because I didn't play Joe alone a lot of

people played huh

people you've never seen a herd

my dad

and all the other poor sad people have a

cold

you better not don't baby let me talk be

on a little while longer I want you to

know it remember why I did it why I kept

up til this happened it's because all

those poor people all the people I came

from have hopes and dreams in them never

get a chance

they just where I can die and all the

nice things inside never come out

it'll be I came out of there with a hear

me they know it's their home hard

speaking when they see my name shining

in all the theaters it will be something

up there shiny

hang on baby hang on

[Music]

[Music]

You like him over

bell ringing your name baby goes to come

herecome in the doors over here the

papers you order for Nanticoke I put

them on the bill including the

deliveries $3 first farthest Pinsky's

downstairs you want to see oh well I'll

be down to take address

well partner we swept the country I just

got a wire from the office went over big

huh father Spence key said it was very

important I'll be right there

let me see one of those hey Jonesy get a

load of this Gazette not bad a wonderful

born with the gift of laughter and song

and he passed these on to his lovely

daughter thanks Jonesy I think nothing

of it all that can happen is I get fired

and spend the rest of my life mooching

drinks off guys like you Hey look pal I

do know you've already seen it huh well

here's something you don't know I heard

it down at the con when I was having

breakfast the company's gonna score the

company the mining interest the big

company that runs this town Frederick

Watson that monstrous house up on the

hill seems he doesn't like the bells to

wear yeah but it's serious he says they

have a bad psychological effect takes

the miners minds off digging coal claims

the bells are a nuisance he can't think

straight so he's gonna protest Oh what

can he really do plenty seems he's the

one who gave that big silver evil to st.

Leo's he can stop that one easy then

force the others to quit as a public

nuisance did Los Angeles carry our story

big no wire for Marcus I don't

understand it

what's worse maybe I do

if Marcus doesn't kick through it don't

let me think such thoughts you perhaps

do not realize mr. Dunnigan

how many friends Olga's father had in

coal town yes I met a number of them in

mr. Olaf's establishment all of them

will want to attend the funeral services

st. Michael's would never accommodate

them

well good morning father Paul my morning

father's pesky did you see your name in

the paper this morning Saint Michael is

spread all over the front page of every

newspaper in the country I'm sorry but I

haven't had time to read anything bill

the most unusual thing happened really

remarkable I mean this morning at Mass

you've already had mass before breakfast

oh yes there were nearly a hundred of

them they came to view the coffin but

they stayed for Mass all of them I was

just talking of that father Paul I fear

your little church will be overtaxed

it's a busload of sightseers in from

wilkes-barre already as a matter of fact

we're really not equipped we've already

run out of candles but I hope to find

some in town well I shouldn't be hard

I'm sure father spin skier Sam he can

spare I think it must be clear to you

mr. Dunnigan from what you've just heard

that it would be wise and sensible to

move olga to st. Leo's and let us

conduct the funeral from my church

perhaps it would be better bill if you

wish to alter your arrangements why I

won't stand in your way or father's.

Pinsky's no father Paul Olga is going to

be buried from st. Michael's I have no

intention of altering our arrangement

well then you gotta tell him I hoped not

to be forced into this position

I came here eager to be of service both

of us please mr. Olaf however I must now

read you this telegram which our bank

received from the Gotham Exchange Bank

this morning in reply to your query

regarding financial rating William.

Dunnigan he has account at this Bank
