A large proportion of these custom ers are servicemen. At the for end of the hall a band is giving out with popular music, and in one corner dancing is in progress. CRANE DOLLY SHOT Slowly the CAMERA IS LOW ERED to the level of the booths and DOLLIES BRIEFLY ALONG ono of the aisles. In this particu lar section of the bazaar business Is not so good. THE CAMERA PASSES a hot dog booth which is fairly well patronized; a lem onade booth where only a sprin kling of matrons are gathered; a booth dispensing home-made cokes (two customers and three eager saleswomen); and finally, at the end of the aisle the CAM ERA PAUSES IN FRONT of a booth where there are no cus tomers whatsoever. MOVE CAM ERA FORWARD TO: ' CLOSE SHOT NEGLECTED BOOTH This is an attractive, daintily trimmed booth which bears a neatly lettered sign: HAND-HMimoiDrcnED UIIKHT TOWHI.N IN OHAHUHl HILUHKU F1UNGI.E, COIlI.ldS AllCIIKIl The front of the booth, likewise the counter. Is liberally decorated with gamples of the hond-cm-oroldered guest towels, but there Is not a customer or even a pros pective customer in sight. As THE CAMERA MOVES IN, MILDRED PRINGLE, a pretty girl of about 18, is leaning gloom ily over the counter, her chin propped in her fists. Near her, out with her back momentarily to the Camera, is CORLISS ARCHER. Corliss is carefully Hacking cartons in which to wrap merchandise, it and when it is told. Both girls ore wearing at tractive, simple summer dresses. MILDRED: (gloomily). Gosh, Corliss, nobody's even looked at 'cm in hours, Corliss now turns into the Cam era, and wo see that she Is a very pretty girl who appears to be about tho snmo age as Mildred. Actually, she's only fifteen and a salt. CORLISS: (bitterly) What's the matter with people, Mildred? Haven't they any patriotism? A little boy of about 12, neatly ircsscd and Intelligent-looking, Itrolls into the Shot and lounges up to the booth. This is RAY MOND, Mildred's kid brother. Mildred pays no attention to him, 3Ut Corliss waves him away. CORLISS: Go away, Raymond. RAYMOND: (frankly derisive) W!it me to call a cop to hold bock the crowds? Corliss turns to Mildred. CORLISS: Mildred, will you please ask your ghastly little brother to go away? MILDRED: (severely) Ray mond Prlngle, go back to your own booth und don't bother peoplel RAYMOND: Okay, okay. Raymond saunters out of the Shot. 5cvernl patrons stroll past, but iesplto the expectant, hopeful imllcs of tho girls, pay no tittcn lion. Suddenly Corliss, glancing 3ff in the direction which Ray mond took, gets on inspiration. CORLISS: (very determined) Well, I know where I'm going H Scene (ram Klu and Tell," Columbia picture CORLISS: Dexter, you've got a live-dollar bill there. DEXTER: Yea and it's gonna stay there! to make one sale, nnywayl (cupping her hands to her mouth, yelling) Dexterl RAYMOND'S BOOTH This is Just around the corner from Corliss' booth on on aisle at right angles to it. It is rigged up as a weight-guessing booth with a weighing machine and shelves filled with the trashiest kind of obviously home-made "prizes." Raymond Is just re turning to the booth. Over the Shot we hear another shrill, im perative summons from Corliss. CORLISS VOICE: (O. S.) Dex ter! Suddenly, in answer to this sum mons, a tall, gangling, engaging looking youth of about 17, who has been hidden behind the counter of the booth where he is tinkering with something, rises to his full height. This is DEXTER FRANKLIN, the boy who lives next door to Corliss and adores her extravagantly. DEXTER: (cheerfully) HI, Cor liss! CORLISS: (O. S.) Dexter, c'mere. Instantly, Dexter flings the ham mer down and spits out the tacks, eoger to answer the summons. Raymond looks at him pityingly. RAYMOND: (cynically) His master's voice! Paying no attention to Raymond, Dexter hurries from tho booth. 1 CORLISS' BOOTH Mildred is just wrapping a pur chase for an attractive-looking young Army olllcer as Dexter comes into tho scene. Corliss beckons lo him. CORLISS: (seductively) Dex ter dear, would you like to buy n towel? DEXTER: Who, me? You're crazy! The young officer is Just leaving. MILDRED: Thanks a lot! YOUNG OFFICER: Thank you! As lie walks out of the Shot, Mil dred moves over to Corliss. MILDRED: (confidentially) Wasn't ho cute? CORLISS: (romantically) He was darling! Dexter glares at Mildred disap provingly. DKXTER: Uniform crazy that's what's the matter with you! And you're doing your best to mako Corliss that way, too! MILDRED: (moves away dis dainfully) Tell the repulsive little droop to go away! DEXTER: (burning up) I think it was a great mistake to let you two girls share a booth! She's a very bad influence on you! CORLISS: Oh, Btop griping, Dexter, (her most dazzling smile) Come on buy a towel from me. DEXTER: Holy cow, what would I do with a guest towel? Corliss looks at Dexter. There are no symptoms that he is about to become a customer. CORLISS: I mignt've known! You claim to love me so much, but when it comes to putting up a measly dollar for a guest, towel, you're not interested! DEXTER: Well, gee whii CORLISS: (wearily) All right, Dexter, forget it. (ominously) But don't expect me to go to the movies with you tonight, that's all I can say! This threat is enough to make Dexter grope madly in his hip pocket for a wallet. DEXTER: (as Corliss moves away) Hey wait a minute! Confident that a sale is imminent, Corliss is all smiles again. CLOSE SHOT CORLISS AND DEXTER Dexter is peering furtively into his wallet, and, quite unabashed, Corliss looks over his shoulder and peers into it also. DEXTER: (Anally) Okay give me a towel. With obvious reluctance, ho ex tracts n dollar bill. CORLISS: (eagerly pointing into wallet) Dexter, you've got' a five-dollar bill there. DEXTER: (bluntly) Yes and it's gonna stay there! I CORLISS: (giving him the works) Dexter, dear, you' wouldn't want Mildred to sell more than me, would you? (an upward glance proves to her that ho is ripe for the pluck ing she flutters her eyelashes at him in her most devastating manner) Oh, come on, Dexter be a sport. It's for the Red Cross. As if hypnotized, Dexter returns the onc-dollnr bill to the wallet tind extracts the five. DEXTER: Okay give me five. CORLISS: (gratefully) Oh, Dexter, you're on angel!
