But the suddenly astute showmen of Broadway and Hollywood seem little inclined, at the moment, to let her rest her talented...
Some others were lucky, too. Old Railroader Fred Dye was snatched out of his shoes, whirled outdoors and thrown alive up a tree. Barber Henry Norris went to bed, woke up unhurt in the street: "I don't know how I got there." Will Sweet and his wife cowered in a back bedroom until it was over, then opened the door and found the rest of the house gone.
