Notes:

"Copyright, 1940, by William Saroyan."

"The playing of the whole work, or the playing of selected parts of it, should be without intermission, and if possible without breaks. The sound of the traveling subway train will probably serve best to hold the various parts together, and keep the mood of the work unbroken ... Certain parts are pure ballet, certain other parts pure theatre. The last part is no more than the singing of a song."
