Act II

Act II

The scene is a room at Goebel’s music publishing house. A piano, a few chairs, some shelves, and you have it. Three or four weeks have gone by since Act I .

Maxie is at the piano just amusing himself when the curtain rises. He is playing “ La Boheme ” and cutting loose a trifle. There enters, from one of the adjacent offices, a young woman (an employee) known as Goldie . She may have got her name because of the color of her hair or from the fact that she is really a Miss Goldberg. That point is never brought up in this play, but may some day be the subject of a musical comedy. Anyway, she comes on and busies herself looking over songs at the music shelves, on which the hits of these and other days are piled high.
