House Rules

[Henry M]

This in turn reminds me of someone in "Chelsea Girls" who was 
playing the role of a trash pope ("The Pope of Greenwich Village?") 
(I think it was Ondine) becoming very angry when a more normal person 
calls attention to the fact that he isn't the pope, but just acting, 
thereby breaking THE rule. I think that GR's film techniqe refers to 
Chelsea Girls in a number of ways. Perhaps more on this later.
