She was tired of being the only "live one" in a village of sleep walkers. Tired of watching the train whiz by with other folks going somewhere to do something. So Mary Ellen came to town-New York-and tried her arts on the Great White Way. Come and see her do a dinky dance in a Broadway Cabaret. If you like "Pep" you will get it in this one.
