PEARL LASHES BACK

Liberty,

I think I speak for all of the guests (inmates) of "The School" when I say that I, Pearl S. Dunbar....of the Boston Dunbars, was robbed of that acting award.

"Dunbar Shines as Ratso!" screamed the L'Academie Weekly.

"Midnight Cowboy finds Pearl" echoed The School Times.

Never had I worked so hard at something in my life. I researched, I rehearsed, I rewrote for Christ's sake. To be beaten by a musical theatre washout is something that I may never get over.

I will take that shame with me to my grave..........

Sadly,
Pearl..........................
