Broadway the brightest night time street in the world and across 42nd Street and there just ahead is the little theatre off Time Square where you will feel the excitement and atmosphere of the play about to begin, Just A Bum.

He describes him to his mother as over 50 and just a bum. Funny thing is 12 years ago on the 14th January her husband Jim left for the big city saying he would come back someday as a rich man.
