[Ashton Brown]

[[ ‰‰‰ ... the unmistakable crackle of lo-fi atmospheric pink noise 
perfuses the stunned audience, unaccustomed to stark-Silence ]]


..while the frazzled projectionist dissolves some more balsam to splice 
the tape, after freeing thumb from the ragged piece it stuck to - - -
as he was cutting out the frames with huge melted-blobs, from that 
unscheduled stop: right over the 1000-W projection bulb

{{ '30s mixed jazz-ragtime / muted trumpets play in background... some 
peppy Jeeves & Wooster [Worcestershire..??] tune }}

{{ breezy slang-slurrin' sophisticates in filmy summer dresses cavort; 
effete escorts smell of Patchouli; hair neatly Shiny,
their long Erte Sterling-silver holders for the Turkish/Latakia blend 
cigs.. dangle. Suggestively - but only to the hep. }}

On screen, via the standby 8 mm Brownie movie projector .. set up atop a 
seat-back in the 3rd row of the Loges - - -
(sorta like a teensy 640x480 Inset on some mondo 60" 16000 x 12000 
monitor; one such as could be afforded only by folks who buy them in 
panorama arrays - in order to make the junk-mailing schedules even more 
efficient) - - -
audience sees:

«« Tom Tomorrow's »» hastily assembled still-life-with-Pear, the oils 
still damp and a bit runny, like a fine Gorgonzola

Audience settles down, accustomed as they are to malleability (and even 
ductility)
muttering, after the viewing ... ...

Yeah... yeah... I Guess. Sure..

it Could happen. Hmmmm

OK, that's settled. When's the cartoon on?
