Frank D. Gilroy

Published by Samuel French Inc

2 Male 1 Female

The title is a trenchant comment on both gambling and love. The scene opens with a piano player and a chorine entering her apartment shortly after meeting two lonely wayward souls adrift in the world

He, it turns out, is a compulsive gambler just biding his time till he gets the bankroll with which he plans to make his fortune at the wheels, while she has a fixation about unattainable men

While he is waiting for his kitty to grow and she is waiting for her married suitor to come and rescue her, they both fall in love

When the suitor finally arrives, she shows him the gate; and when the kitty finally swells to $3600, the piano player loses it quickly only to hock his watch, start over, and amass the bundle he always knew was his

"Has a distinguished gift for realistic drama. Mr. Gilroy can create believable characters and knows where to put in an amusing line" ~ N.Y. Post
