ten cents for the ticket to the Liberty Theatre, but I was unwilling to do that. I was going to walk in.
B. From the south exit door, I walked directly to the north exit door and then up to the corner, around the Rowel Building to the alley and down the alley to the back of the theatre. The door was locked but using the wire that
I found in the alley I opened it. It was so dark inside that I couldn't see my way. Soon my eyes got used to the dark and I saw a big auditorium and balcony full of people.
C. I came to a row of seats in which I saw a vacant seat, but when I came closer I saw that there was a small child there. So I went out into the lobby and found a man and woman on their way to the seats. I sat beside them and saw the whole show — on opening day, just as I had planned — free.
D. I walked directly to the north exit of the Liberty Theatre, looking at the same time at the girl in the ticket booth who in turn was looking at me. At that moment the door opened and I grabbed it to keep it open, so that I could walk into the theatre. But the door was opened by the man whose task was to see that nobody came in without a ticket. So I let the door go and began to move toward the south exit door. When I looked back, I saw the man in the uniform, he followed me. So I went to the entrance to the Sequoia Hotel.
E. I was always crazy about London, I guess.
F. Somebody called the man in the uniform and he ran back. From across the street I ran to the south exit again. The door opened and a family of four went out. I kept the door open and walked in but the man in the uniform was waiting for me there. He took me by the elbow and escorted into the street.
G. The following day after school, after I sold all the papers on my corner across the Liberty Theatre, I was going home thinking of a big supper in ten or fifteen minutes. But suddenly the south exit door opened and a young man and a young woman left the theatre. I went in and this time had no problems with finding a seat. There were seats all over the theatre, from the first row in the orchestra to the last row in the gallery.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
(after L. F. Baum)
1. Dorothy lived in the great Kansas prairies /'presnz/ with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer's wife. One day, they felt that a cyclone /'saiklaun/ was coming. Uncle Henry and Aunt Em hid in a cellar /'sela/ but Dorothy was looking for her dog Toto in some room. Suddenly the cyclone took their small house in the air and dropped it only many hours later in a beautiful country.
It was the Land of Oz. She was met there by four strangely dressed people who were about her size but looked like they were her Uncle Henry's age. Three of them were men and one — a woman. They told her that her house had killed the Wicked Witch of the East and now all the Munchkins who lived in that part of the country were free. They gave her the silver shoes
