and John J.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Catherine.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
When I talk to you about John J. Catherine, I'm
talking about me. I've got in the more battles about
my last name. I've had to make it clear to
at least four million people that Catherine is my last name,
not my first. And in the process I've accumulated more
numerous contusions, fractures, superficial abrasions, black eyes, and bloody noses,
and can readily become.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
By one person.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
So I disregard my personal adventures in the field of
fisticus for a moment, and the tune your shell like
ear to the singular story of the Hat and the
Bed and Me. However, don't get carried away to the
extent of thinking of me as Kitty or Kate or
any of the other diminutives of my last name, or
(01:22):
I am quite likely to wrap you smartly over the
scants with a stage brace.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I must prefer, if you.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Must be familiar, to be addressed by my usual sober
quety of gentlemen, Johnny. However, I am just as happy
when you call me mister Katherine. I just wanted to
make myself perfectly.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
My profession is out of a stage hand, to continue
our brief gander of.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
My personal history and to orient you somewhat concerning myself.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I've carried a.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Card in the IATs ever since the actors strike, which
more or less dates me as a matter of fact,
and strictly between you and I as me.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
There was a time when.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I entertained certain ambitions myself. When I left Rockford as
a young man valedictorian of my class at Rockford High,
I studied with Christianson in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
For four months.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Dan the lamented Thomas wood Stevens once said that I
had legs like Bert Lightell's. And though I have devoted
my energies to another phase of the theater for low
these many years, I am still able to offer slight
competition to these young upstarts and people as stage to day. Indeed,
I very often a linger after an evening performance to
(02:36):
try my flody decrevit wings alone in the house at midnight. Nay,
I will win my wager better yet and show more.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Signs of her obedience, her new bill virtue in obedience.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
See where she comes and brings your froward wives as
prisoners to her womanly persuasion by there's a wait, Come and.

Kiss me, Kates.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It's about timing of the shoe ack five, Scene two,
Patricia speaking to Katherine, And I could go on for.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Three days before you go on for three days, mister Catherine.

Suppose you step over here and give these boys hands
with the senior for the next act. Huh, and make
it snappy, mister Ketty that, oh boy, mister.

Cathern as King Lear, Macbeth Shylock and assorted King Henry.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
John?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Well, the hat you know, and the bed it's only
a superstition, that's what people say.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I didn't know you were superstitious.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Oh, I don't know whether I am or not. I'm
so sleepy all the time. I can't remember things. I
don't know what I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Now see here, John, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I'm just afraid of dying. Are you afraid of dying?
This piece?
Speaker 4 (07:40):

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well, I don't want to die, you see, I know
what it's.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Like now, John, If that's all I.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Was really scared when I love the fair last night,
I really didn't call up a mortician to arrange things,
you know.
Speaker 1 (07:59):

wraps the drapery of his couch about.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Him and lies down to peaceful dreams. Thanatopsis, William Collen Dryan,

Speaker 4 (08:17):
But you said you dreamed, John, You said you want
to tell me your dream. That's what you said.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I know.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
When I woke up it was real late, really late,
I mean very late.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It was dark, Black Doc.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I could hardly see the light from the window. Couldn't
see it all, as a matter of fact, Black Doc.
And I was so thirsty I had to have a
drink of water.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
My mouth was just parched sleeping with him mouth.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Open, I suppose.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Well, after a while, I couldn't stand it any longer,
so I got up. Well, the bathroom's here, you see.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
My bed is like this, and the dresser's over here,
and there's a chair.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I got up, and I couldn't find the light switch.
I knew I could find my way in the doctor
the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
All right, and I did. I got my drink of water,
and my goodness, it tasted good, and then I started
back to bed.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
When I came back, the bed was gone. There wasn't
any bed, There wasn't any chair where I knew the
chair was, and the dresser was gone too.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
There wasn't anything.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
In the room, John, you would dreaming.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, I wasn't dreaming. I landed around there in the
dock for ever so long. There wasn't anything in the room.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I tell you, my gracious miss Pierce, I can walk
three steps from my bathroom door right.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
To the edge of my bed. It's a little low bed.
I'd bump it with my knee. Is a little room,
Miss Pierce.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You can't walk around there in the light without bumby
in or something, the chair or the dresser, the bed,
or the little table I forgot for I keep my
collect the place of Shakespeare kind of by my bed
where the light is.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I couldn't find the light. I couldn't find anyone.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
And I don't understand it, John, because of.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
The hat on the bed.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Or John, that's right, that's because you had a bad dream.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
You said you wanted to tell me your dream the
only way.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I couldn't think to describe it.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
But it wasn't a dream, just a big empty place, dark, black, dark, empty.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I've been very badly frightened, Miss Piers.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
What happened when you waked up?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
John, I wasn't asleep. It wasn't a dream. It is
a kind of preview of death, Miss Peas.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Oh, no, John, a dream.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Now, don't sit there and shake your head.
Speaker 2 (10:45):

Myself, extraordinarly vivid dreams that leave me wondering when I
wake up whether I John, you're not listening to me. Well,

Speaker 1 (10:56):
Now, I won't go to sleep, Miss Peers, afraid to
go to.

but it mustn't. It was just a great, big, doc
empty space.

and John J.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Catherine.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
When I talk to you about John J. Catherine, I'm
talking about me. I've got in the more battles about
my last name. I've had to make it clear to
at least four million people that Catherine is my last name,
not my first. And in the process I've accumulated more
numerous contusions, fractures, superficial abrasions, black eyes, and bloody noses,
and can readily become.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
By one person.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
So I disregard my personal adventures in the field of
fisticus for a moment, and the tune your shell like
ear to the singular story of the Hat and the
Bed and Me. However, don't get carried away to the
extent of thinking of me as Kitty or Kate or
any of the other diminutives of my last name, or
(01:22):
I am quite likely to wrap you smartly over the
scants with a stage brace.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I must prefer, if you.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Must be familiar, to be addressed by my usual sober
quety of gentlemen, Johnny. However, I am just as happy
when you call me mister Katherine. I just wanted to
make myself perfectly.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
My profession is out of a stage hand, to continue
our brief gander of.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
My personal history and to orient you somewhat concerning myself.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I've carried a.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Card in the IATs ever since the actors strike, which
more or less dates me as a matter of fact,
and strictly between you and I as me.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
There was a time when.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I entertained certain ambitions myself. When I left Rockford as
a young man valedictorian of my class at Rockford High,
I studied with Christianson in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
For four months.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Dan the lamented Thomas wood Stevens once said that I
had legs like Bert Lightell's. And though I have devoted
my energies to another phase of the theater for low
these many years, I am still able to offer slight
competition to these young upstarts and people as stage to day. Indeed,
I very often a linger after an evening performance to
(02:36):
try my flody decrevit wings alone in the house at midnight. Nay,
I will win my wager better yet and show more.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Signs of her obedience, her new bill virtue in obedience.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
See where she comes and brings your froward wives as
prisoners to her womanly persuasion by there's a wait, Come and.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Kiss me, Kates.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It's about timing of the shoe ack five, Scene two,
Patricia speaking to Katherine, And I could go on for.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Three days before you go on for three days, mister Catherine.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Suppose you step over here and give these boys hands
with the senior for the next act. Huh, and make
it snappy, mister Ketty that, oh boy, mister.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Ketty, solid flesh. Wooden notes.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
John Cavin been telling you how it of Rodham and
Grand Rappers if he'd stuck to his first love, the theater.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Don't you listen to it first time?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
You know what? Have you talked into angeling a production
of Sakespeare and.
Speaker 5 (03:35):
Repertory in Somebody's Cow Bond for the summer, starring John J.
Cathern as King Lear, Macbeth Shylock and assorted King Henry.
And I'm not going to let anybody spoil the best
stage hand I ever saw to make a fourth.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
Rade hair actor out of him, not that he isn't
a fourth right.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Hair actor already me. I'm Evelyn Pearce. I produce plays
and things, and I think John J and hates my viserals.
I don't mean to be meaned, John.
Speaker 4 (04:03):

that's the stage hands business.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
I won't take it up at the union it need be,
but I am unequivocably.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Is that it's money equivocably resigned? Is that previous peers?
Speaker 6 (04:31):

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Go ahead?
Speaker 4 (07:11):
John?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Well, the hat you know, and the bed it's only
a superstition, that's what people say.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I didn't know you were superstitious.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Oh, I don't know whether I am or not. I'm
so sleepy all the time. I can't remember things. I
don't know what I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Now see here, John, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I'm just afraid of dying. Are you afraid of dying?
This piece?
Speaker 4 (07:40):
I've never thought of its specialness?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Well, I don't want to die, you see, I know
what it's.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Like now, John, If that's all I.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Was really scared when I love the fair last night,
I really didn't call up a mortician to arrange things,
you know.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I couldn't get him on the PHO.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
So after a while I lay down, as one who
wraps the drapery of his couch about.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Him and lies down to peaceful dreams. Thanatopsis, William Collen Dryan,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:11):

Speaker 4 (08:17):
But you said you dreamed, John, You said you want
to tell me your dream. That's what you said.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
I know.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
When I woke up it was real late, really late,
I mean very late.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It was dark, Black Doc.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
I could hardly see the light from the window. Couldn't
see it all, as a matter of fact, Black Doc.
And I was so thirsty I had to have a
drink of water.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
My mouth was just parched sleeping with him mouth.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Open, I suppose.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Well, after a while, I couldn't stand it any longer,
so I got up. Well, the bathroom's here, you see.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
My bed is like this, and the dresser's over here,
and there's a chair.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
I got up, and I couldn't find the light switch.
I knew I could find my way in the doctor
the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
All right, and I did. I got my drink of water,
and my goodness, it tasted good, and then I started
back to bed.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
When I came back, the bed was gone. There wasn't
any bed, There wasn't any chair where I knew the
chair was, and the dresser was gone too.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
There wasn't anything.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
In the room, John, you would dreaming.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, I wasn't dreaming. I landed around there in the
dock for ever so long. There wasn't anything in the room.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
I tell you, my gracious miss Pierce, I can walk
three steps from my bathroom door right.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
To the edge of my bed. It's a little low bed.
I'd bump it with my knee. Is a little room,
Miss Pierce.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
You can't walk around there in the light without bumby
in or something, the chair or the dresser, the bed,
or the little table I forgot for I keep my
collect the place of Shakespeare kind of by my bed
where the light is.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I couldn't find the light. I couldn't find anyone.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
And I don't understand it, John, because of.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
The hat on the bed.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Or John, that's right, that's because you had a bad dream.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
You said you wanted to tell me your dream the
only way.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I couldn't think to describe it.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
But it wasn't a dream, just a big empty place, dark, black, dark, empty.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
I've been very badly frightened, Miss Piers.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
What happened when you waked up?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
John, I wasn't asleep. It wasn't a dream. It is
a kind of preview of death, Miss Peas.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Oh, no, John, a dream.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Now, don't sit there and shake your head.
Speaker 2 (10:45):

wake up whether I John, you're not listening to me. Well,

In the dark? What were you doing? Why? I don't
know what you would do? You were just there?
Speaker 4 (12:02):

but it mustn't. It was just a great, big, doc
empty space.
