- Among Bobby's acquaintances is an odd character who writes plays, but never can sell them, and he falls sick and is about to be thrown out of his poorly furnished room for want of $2. Now, Bobby has a customer who buys plays and has lots of money and likes Bobby simply because he looks like a real little man despite his rags, and when Bobby bursts into his office, after a fight with the office boy, and asks for a loan of $3 without security or explanation, he hands out the money without a question. Bobby rushes back to the old man's room his arms filled with things to eat and pays the landlady the $2. He notices an old manuscript on a table and remembering his big friend buys such things, he hides it under his coat and hurries back to his office. There are a lot of actors and theater managers there, but Bobby is undaunted and his friend, as a joke, asks one of his friends to read the script. They at once recognize that it is a great play. Bobby's friend, who wrote it, is paid a handsome sum for its rights and he moves into a comfortable home, taking Bobby along as his adopted son, who won't have to sell newspapers or sleep in cellar-ways any more.—Moving Picture World, November 10, 1917
