1I've been trying to kill off the old girl for years. Strangers waylay me and insist that I entertain their women's club--'and be sure to bring along Mrs. Murgatroyd," they giggle. Almost every mail contains requests from dramatic groups for rights to the material. Millinery agents want to put out Mrs. Murgatroyd hats. I'm haunted by the dame! BD, referring to his blowzy and very popular matronly drag character, Mrs. Murgatroyd
2As long as it's show business, I'm happy.
