( | i i | About Plays and P| ayers | Hn the speech to the Lata all of Liberty, written by Willard | Mack that scored a bit with Jast night's audience at the “ZAcgfeld Follies:" “Why, hello Liberty, old girl, is that you? I didn't expect to find you here. done to you you'd jumped off your pedestal and gone down to live with the fishes; which is the only free fife in America now. Lemme look at you! Are you laughing or crying? You sure got the laugh on me and @ million other freeborn American suck- ers who have got to row out three miles to get a drink so as not to become criminals, And, speaking of that booze thing, where were you when that question came up? I'm darned sure you weren't on your job, What's that you say?

Or your illustrious god-father, Abraham — Lincoln? You, that were the sweet- heart of the world, to become the mistress of a few! Lib, old girl, you're in bad!

Come on >, and be our sweetheart Well, IT must be goin’; but if once more. three miles is a long hike, you're here when I row back, just to show my heart's in the right place I'll give you a drink. And, by gosh, if you needed one, But your friends again—they because you're surrounded by you look's there's think you can live on it.
