PEGGY PLAYS OFF-BROADWAY in three different drafts since it started. Peggy’s Peggy. Peggy’s friend and housemate, Amy Preston, “That’s just what Peggy said!” Peggy stole a glance through the doors to the theater. Peggy nodded thoughtfully, and reflected that it must, indeed, be more wearing on the boys. Mallory Seton, director of the new play, had been an upper-class student at the Academy when Peggy had Peggy could only think of as their ordeal. started there, and he was a good friend of hers. She when they had discovered a theater. It would not be easy for him to consider Peggy for an acting role, and question of playing favorites, Peggy knew, but quite the reverse. Mal’s sense of fair play would make him bend over backward to keep from giving favors to his friends. If she was to get a role in this new production, she would really have to work for it. And if it was difficult for Mal, she thought, it was “Oh, no!” Peggy said. “You two were just marvelous! nobody even came close to Peggy. But I’ve never she assured herself, but they had gone on dates together with a regularity that was a little more than casual and, whatever his feelings were for her, she things were different. There was nothing “serious,” “Oh, they won’t be doing readings today,” Peggy All at the same time, the girls started to reassure him and tell him how good the play was, and how are wonderful actors?” “They won’t go back to the rejects,” Peggy explained, “because they both have a pretty good idea of what the characters in the play should look like. And if the people they pick aren’t good enough actors, “... so, you see,” Peggy concluded, “we were then they hold another cast call and try again. just because you’re not the right physical type,” Amy said, “but I can understand it. They have to start somewhere, and I guess that’s as good a place Peggy nodded sympathetically. “But it wasn’t just Amy and Peggy. In a businesslike manner, they settled and approached the table. Peggy watched with interest young men came forward, Peggy felt that she just couldn’t stand watching the casting interviews any longer. It reminded her too much of the livestock shows she had attended as a youngster in her home town of Rockport, Wisconsin. Necessary though it Peggy said. Peggy looked carefully at her new friend, at the “I think you do have a chance,” Peggy said. “In if you just walked out of the script!” “Oh, I hope you’re right!” Paula said with animation. “And I hope you get a part, too. I have a feeling “The one who needs luck is me, I’m afraid,” Peggy awfully good to get the part. And it’s really important to me, too, because I’m getting near the end of my trial year.” “Trial year?” Paula asked curiously. 7 “Uh-huh. My parents agreed to let me come to New York to study acting and try for parts for a year, and I agreed that if I didn’t show signs of success before the year was up, I’d come home and go back to college. I’ve been here for eight months now, and I haven’t got anything to show my parents yet. The part I’m trying for now isn’t a big one, but it’s a good “But do you expect to make enough to live on right away?” Paula asked. “Oh, no! I’m not that naïve! But when my year is over at the Academy, I can always take a job as a typist or a secretary somewhere, while I look for and that doesn’t pay much. Besides, the work is so unsteady.” “My parents are very practical people,” Peggy said with a smile, “and they made sure that I learned routine office skills before they would let me think business, but he’s been wonderful about giving me a chance. What do your parents think of your wanting to be an actress?” on such short acquaintance, Peggy reluctantly stood comedian than any man in the world. Peggy Peggy was sure that each was casting rather hostile looks toward others who were trying for the same parts. Keeping friendships in the theater was not an easy thing, she thought, particularly for people of for this role that he had the most applicants. More than twenty girls came forward when the announcement was made, and Peggy thought that she had choice. As Paula, her new friend, went forward to join the others, Peggy whispered a word of encouragement, Mal went down the line, regretfully dismissing one after the other of the girls, and occasionally asking one, but Peggy thought she saw the ghost of a smile Peggy! I think you were right! I just know I’m going to get the part! I know it!” 10 “Don’t count too much on it,” Peggy cautioned, “or you may be too bitterly disappointed if you don’t get it. But,” she added, enthusiastically violating her own rule of caution, “I’m sure, too! I’ll see you Saturday. Even if I don’t get a script, I’ll be there just to Then, with a smile of farewell, Peggy turned her attention to the “career woman, early thirties” classification that Mal had called for next. Once that was out of the way, she knew it would be her turn. This time, there were not so many applicants and Peggy remembered Randy telling her that this would be one of their most difficult roles to cast. Peggy with complete lack of recognition. He gently When he was done, Peggy and two others were given scripts and told to come to the theater on Saturday. Feeling lightheaded and giddy, Peggy settled thought only about the coming readings. She was so familiar with the play that she knew she had an advantage, perhaps unfairly, over the other two girls. She had watched the script grow from its first rough draft to the finished text now in her hands, and had discussed it with Randy through each revision. She knew she could play the part in fact, she suspected secretly that Randy had written it for her, and the thought made her blush. Still, it would not be easy, she knew. Mal’s sense of fairness and his absolute devotion to the play above everything else would keep him from making up his mind in advance. But despite this knowledge, she could not help looking ahead—all the way ahead—to the restless stir of the opening-night audience out front, the last-minute preparations backstage, the bright, hot lights and the smell of make-up and scenery paint as she Peggy Lane would be discovered! his lines. Peggy knew, after the first few words, that not quite on target, Peggy thought. He seemed to be polite, invariable formula, “Thank you. We’ll let you know our decision in a day or two,” and called for the next reading. Peggy watched the remaining actors try for the left looking sure that the part was his. Peggy was glad that she would not have to see their faces when replied. “The good ones know they’re good, and they’re not going to be discouraged by the loss of a role. And the bad ones think they’re good, too, and and Peggy, turning around in her seat, saw a few of “I think I’ll go back there with the girls,” Peggy Peggy glanced at the actresses who had just entered the theater as Peggy was leaving and, as she Peggy turned in surprise to find herself greeted “Oh, I’m so sorry,” Peggy said. “And it was a real “Not really,” Greta said. “The part wasn’t too good, and I’d just as soon not be in a disaster. Anyway, it gave me a chance to work for a few weeks, At that moment, Peggy saw Paula Andrews enter “Peggy tactfully neglected to mention that the “You mean you’re going to read for Mal?” Peggy
