Two Can 1 Sing

by James M. Cain

pm I get that call? I'm, telling till I did. c

1 went -to my dressing-room. yaikod around. and was so excited i couldn't even sit down. i wanted n go out there and do it all over

It didn't seem two minutes iefore they called inc.-and I went lown.for the last act.

The Gilda and I did the stuff itiat starts it, and then went off, md Perms. had it to himself for me "La tnonna a Mobile." I think we given you the idea by now that that dumb Italian is a pretty good tenor. He knocked them over nu; it, and by the time the Mad- lslena came on, and the Gilda and I went out again for the quartet. we were in the home stretch of one of those performances you read about. so the quartet started.

well, you've heard the "Rigolet- lo" quartette a thousand times. but don't let anybody tell you it's a pushover. The first part goes a iiiile a minute, t.he second part slower than hell and if there's one thing harder to sing than a fast allegro it's a slow. andante, and three times out of five something happens, and many times as you have heard it you haven't -often heard it right. But we were right.

Farms started it like a breeze,

and the Maddalena was right on'

top of him. and the Gilda and I were right on top of her. and we closed out the allegro with all four cylinders clicking and the show doing seventy. Parma laid it down nice on the endemic, and we were right with him, and we brought it home Just right. We were right on the end of the stick. Well, that stopped the show too. They clap- ped, and cheered, and clapped some more. and Schultz threw the stick on me to go on: and a. fat

pulled the Gilda in. And the G I pulled me in. -

You remember what I told on about speed? Up there you've. ct no time to think You hear ur cue, and you coins in, and he an help you if you miss the boat., so there was Parnia'and there as the orchestra in one place in t score, and there were the Ma kia lens, the Gilda, and me in arith- er place in the score, and there was schulls. trying like a wild man to straighten it out. Nt a whisper from the audicnce,i.you undersand. so long as you keep going and do your best, they'll give you a break, and even if'. you c ack up and have to start over

ey'll give you a break-so. long as you do your best. They all want to laugh, but they won't-so long as you keep your head-down and sock. .

But I didn't know then what was wrong. All I knew was that it

and' I siartediooklng around for help. That was all they needed -that one little flash of the white feather-and they let out a roar.

You can think a lot of things in one best of music. It flashed through my head and I had heard the bird at last. It flashed through my head, in some kind of dumb way, why I had heard it I turned around and faced them. 1 must have looked sore. They roared again.

That whole big theater iiscn was spinning around for me then like a cage with a squirrel in it, and me the squirrel. I had to know where I was at. I looked over, and tried to see Parma. And then, brother, and then once more, I committed the cardinal sin of all grand opera. I forgot to watch the conductor. I didn't know that he had killed his orchestra, killed his singers, brought the whole thing to a stop, and was wigwag- lug Farina to start it over. And here I came, bellowing out with my part:

chance I could. we had to give them some more. so after about a minute, Schultz played the cue for lvhe andantc. and Pnrma started again.

He started, and the Maddalena came in, and the Gilda came in, and I came in. It seemed to me we got in there with it awful quick, but I was so excited by that time I hardly knew where I was. and I didn't pay much attention to it, And then all or s sudden I had this awful feeling that something was wrong.

CHAPTER TWELVE

Part Two

I Wlnt you to get it straight now, Vin” hRPDencd. The andaiite is the same old tune, "Bella figlla dell' amore." that you've heard all your life and could whistle in your sleep. The tenor sings it through Once. then he goes up to a high 13 1159. holds it. comes down again and sings it over again. The sec.' ond time he sings it, the conti-alto comes in. then the soprano, then "10 humane. and they're off into the real quartet. Well, our con. tralto, the Maddalena, was an old-

time operatic hack that had sung to

it a thousand times, but some- thing got into her. and instead of w-itlns for Parma to finish that

Someone yelled "Bravo!" A hun- dred yelled "Bravol" A million yelled "Bravo!"

I ran.

Next. thing I knew I was by a stairway, holding on to the iron railing, almost twisting it out by the roots trying to keep myself from flying into a million pieces The Gilda was beside me, yelling at me at the top of her lungs. and don't think a coloratura. soprano can't put on a nice job of plain and fancy cussing when she sets sore. The stagehands were stand- ing around. looking at me as though I was some leper that they didn't dare touch. Outside. Schultz was playing the introduction to the stuff between the contralto and the bass. He had had to skip five whole pages. I just stood there twisting at those iron bars.

"You go out there and finish this show, or I'll-"

"I can't." ' '

They were playing my cue. she took hold of me, tried to pull me away from the stairs, tried to throw me on stage by main force, 1 him! on. I hunt on to that iron like it was a life raft. The bass started singing my part. she looked It the and bit her lip. I new two tears jump out of her eyes and run down her face. she turned around and left me.

I sot to my dressing-rooin, lock- Id the door. And then 1 cracked. No iroi-i bars there to hold on to. I clenched my teeth, my fists, my toes. and it -was no good. Here they came, those awful hysterical soba I had heard coming out of Doris that day, and the more I lolltht their: back. the worse they got. I knew the truth then. knew why Cecil had laughed at me that night in Rochester, why Horn had been so doubtful about me. and all the rest of” it. I had smoke and nothing eise.iBut you can't lick that racket with smoke. You've act to care about It; you cant get by on a little voids and a little music.
