One day,
Harry visits
Evelyn’s dressing room to tell her that
Little Women is going ahead. But when he says that
Celia St. James will be playing Beth, Evelyn worries that Celia will overshadow her and
Ruby Reilly, another of her co-stars. She tells Harry she’s ready to do the film. He agrees. As she hugs him, he notices the bruise on her face and becomes angry. She tells him there’s nothing he can do to help: she still loves
Don, and he ensures her fame and success. Ruby comes in to discuss Celia with Evelyn, reiterating Evelyn’s worry that Celia’s going to steal their thunder.
