Excerpt from What's Wrong: A Comedy in Three Acts
Smith is a good - looking man, somewhat tall and, although but 35 years of age, looks much older. He wears a dark business suit which needs pressing, and a black derby hat; has the haggard expression of a sleepless, over-worked, improperly fed ogiee man who is always under high nervous tension and constant activity. He does everything rapidly - reads, talks, moves, thinks rapidly. In fact so great is his speed and so tremendous the nervous pres sure under which he incessantly works, that one wonders how he can keep it up. His gen eral appearance, which is somewhat careless, is that of an ultra-busy mono-ambitious man. As smith enters, the telephone rings. Smith hastens to desk and grabs 'phone from desk and jerks its receiver from hook.
