....he  left showbiz  for good  once and for all  never to look back,  he couldn't care less about  his old  companions   not bothering to stay in touch with them  and  completely forgot about that phase of his life 

He became a salesman  selling  encyclopedias  door to door,  he was certain he was  doing the perfect thing perfectly,  then he met the  girl he married,  his life  took a  steady  course   , he was quite happy with life,   nine years  after  the stage  he saw Simon  again,  he was window shopping  when he heard his name being called 

Hey buddy he was hearing this term for himself after ages,  he uncontrollably turned  to look,   Simon was limping  towards him in the street,  his hair all snowhite,  he walked with a stick,  his joints were painful,  he looked happy to see him  like he was  happy to see him

They met in a close by bar in the evening  Simon  had  chosen the place,  he found Simon was in a corner seat reading the daily gazette,  two beers were on the table waiting for them 

They spent some time  on current issues  and of wars  before  settling down to speak of  tge past , Simon  left the theater in nineteen thirty six,  he was  losing  his accuracy in throwing the knife,    about other associates  Simon  informed  him  polar was dead  Pitts one year after  died of a stroke,  miss nelly was hit by a speeding  taxi  on her way to the movies
