THE BIJOU
byMichael Sloane
REVISED DRAFT
October 14, 1997"... the magic is all around you.
All the time. Everywhere.
In every thing.
The trick... is to see it."IN BLACK...
... the insistent, persistent, eight-to-the-bar beat of
BOOGIE-WOOGIE. Hot, exciting, pulsating rhythm, ramping up.THEN...
... in the blackness, falling s-l-o-w-l-y, tumbling
g-e-n-t-l-y, a picture-postcard:"GREETINGS FROM HOLLYWOOD!"
Then another... and another, each one dropping through frame,
a gentle rain.In these old postcards, Hollywood is a dream town where movie
stars glide out of big cars to press their hands-and-
footprints in the wet cement.Another postcard:
"I'M MEETING THE STARS AT HOLLYWOOD & VINE!"
