The Live Wire
Author(s):
Garson Kanin
A group of young actors have pooled their resources and hopes and live together in a Quonset hut near the Broadway theater district. They manage to exist by a system of mutual interdependence until a heartless four-flusher joins them and nearly puts their experiment out of business. There is, however, enough inherent strength in the group members to enable them to recover their cohesion. The "Live Wire," who has done his best to disrupt them, now leaves on what seems to be the promise a brilliant future, but it is clear that he will ultimately be tossed aside. His former companions are at least left with the feeling that their life together, because it is shared, is worth holding on to.
