| 00:00:00 | Y.
|
| 00:00:02 | He can reach out and touch me, but he has
to send wires.
|
| 00:00:03 | "in little egypt, you
have the best female attraction of the fair.
|
| 00:00:08 | "In sandow, I have the greatest male attraction
in the world.
|
| 00:00:10 | the newspapers will
fall for it. the people will eat it up.
|
| 00:00:14 | Then we can show them together, and I'd be
"
well, that sounds like a great idea.
|
| 00:00:20 | Oh, yes, great.
|
| 00:00:22 | I'm selling out every performance,
and he's going to be thrown out on saturday,
and he's willing to split 50/50.
|
| 00:00:27 | I'll answer this
one.
|
| 00:00:29 | Jack, is ziegfeld a good friend of yours?
|
| 00:00:33 | Oh, yes, we've been pals for years.
|
| 00:00:36 | But you wouldn't like him.
|
| 00:00:38 | No?
|
| 00:00:39 | No, he's up one day and broke the next.
|
| 00:00:40 | If he got $10,000 tomorrow, he'd spend it
on the girl he happened to like tomorrow
night.
|
| 00:00:44 | You wouldn't want to waste your time meeting
a fellow like that.
|
| 00:00:48 | Oh, not if I met him on the right night.
|
| 00:00:51 | ..ohh!
|
| 00:00:52 | Ha ha ha ha ha!
|
| 00:00:55 | Shut up!
|
| 00:00:55 | And just send that collect.

|
| 00:01:03 | Oh, he does, does he?
|
| 00:01:06 | Sure.
|
| 00:01:06 | Yes, well, that's probably why he's always
broke. come on, dear.
|
| 00:01:12 | [Waltz playing]
this cheese is so strong it could walk over
and say hello to your coffee.
|
| 00:01:34 | this coffee's too weak to
answer it.
|
| 00:01:38 | Ha ha ha! flo, you're wonderful.
|
| 00:01:39 | You make jokes even when you're so worried
you can't touch your cold cuts.
|
| 00:01:43 | I got no appetite neither.
|
| 00:01:48 | ..
|
| 00:01:51 | Message for you, mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 00:01:53 | Oh.
|
| 00:01:54 | They told me I'd find you here.
|
| 00:01:56 | From billings.
|
| 00:01:57 | So soon he answers.
|
| 00:01:58 | He must be crazy about your proposition.
|
| 00:02:01 | Read it to me, flo. read it.
|
| 00:02:02 | "
what did I tell you?
|
| 00:02:06 | "But why fake a romance between sandow and
little egypt?
|
| 00:02:10 | Let's make sandow marry little egypt, and

that message was collect.
|
| 00:02:20 | Oh.

| 00:02:21 | 50 Cents.
|
| 00:02:23 | Have you change for a dollar?
|
| 00:02:25 | ..
|
| 00:02:29 | Keep it.
|
| 00:02:30 | Gee, thanks. ha ha ha ha ha ha!
|
| 00:02:35 | Flo, I love you.
|
| 00:02:37 | I will break chains for you.
|
| 00:02:40 | I will lift buildings for you.
|
| 00:02:42 | But I will not have children for you.
|
| 00:02:44 | But if I have children, I will not split
them!
|
| 00:02:49 | [Laughter]
oh, hello, ziggy, I got your wire.
|
| 00:02:53 | I just got yours, too.
|
| 00:02:55 | Paterson tells me he's putting you out saturday.
|
| 00:02:59 | He tells me, too.
|
| 00:03:00 | How do you do, mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 00:03:03 | ..ohh!

|
| 00:03:07 | Yes, blair. this is mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 00:03:10 | I'm very happy to know you, miss blair.
|
| 00:03:12 | Oh, I'm so happy to meet you, mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 00:03:16 | sandow, the strongest
..
|
| 00:03:18 | [Quietly] the strongest man in the world.
|
| 00:03:20 | Jack tells me the loveliest things about
you.
|
| 00:03:23 | Ah, yes, I imagine.
|
| 00:03:24 | I could tell you some lovely things about
yourself, too.
|
| 00:03:28 | He's only just met you, and now he's going
to tell you all about yourself.
|
| 00:03:32 | Won't you sit down?
|
| 00:03:33 | Thank you. yes, dear.
|
| 00:03:34 | I've seen you many times on the midway, miss
blair.
|
| 00:03:39 | Oh, fibber.
|
| 00:03:39 | I bet you never even noticed me.
|
| 00:03:42 | Oh, yes, I have.
|
| 00:03:43 | Only yesterday you were wearing a red dress
trimmed in black lace.
|
| 00:03:47 | Yes.
|
| 00:03:47 | And a yellow hat, and it was atrocious.
|
| 00:03:50 | Oh, indeed?
|
| 00:03:50 | Each was all right in its self, mind you,
but the combination, whoo!
|
| 00:03:55 | And last sunday you were wearing a blue
gown and an orchid hat.
|
| 00:03:59 | Yes.
|
| 00:03:59 | And you were wrong again.
|
| 00:04:01 | Well, aren't we the observer.
|
| 00:04:02 | Do you always check up on the right combinations
for women?
|
| 00:04:06 | Always for beautiful women.
|
| 00:04:06 | how do I look
today?
|
| 00:04:10 | it shades your
eyes, and I like your eyes.
|
| 00:04:15 | Yeah, see, he ought to be packing his own
clothes right now instead of selecting yours.
|
| 00:04:20 | ..
|
| 00:04:23 | Well, good-bye, then.
|
| 00:04:24 | I'll be seeing you around the grounds, mr.
|
| 00:04:25 | Ziegfeld.
|
| 00:04:26 | Well, not after saturday you won't.
|
| 00:04:29 | Ha ha ha ha hoo hoo!
|
| 00:04:36 | That fella billings makes me mad.
|
| 00:04:38 | Yes?
|
| 00:04:39 | Even that music from his little egypt drives
me crazy.
|
| 00:04:41 | you won't have to listen to
it much longer.
|
| 00:04:44 | Wait a minute.
|
| 00:04:45 | Come away, flo.
|
| 00:04:46 | For 5 weeks you've been touching that elephant
for luck,
but now in 5 days we get put out.
|
| 00:04:53 | I know it's a superstition,
but an old hindu told me that if you touch
an elephant's trunk
and he raises it, everything will be all
right.
|
| 00:04:59 | we know we got hard luck without
that elephant should tell us.
|
| 00:05:05 | you should touch
him!
|
| 00:05:10 | You're the attraction!
|
| 00:05:12 | Me? sure!
|
| 00:05:13 | Go on, go ahead.
|
| 00:05:14 | Sounds silly, but all right, I'll do it.
|
| 00:05:20 | Look, flo, would he do that for me!
|
| 00:05:23 | The great sandow!
|
| 00:05:27 | [Crowd laughing]
[shouting]
sandow.
|
| 00:05:39 | That's what you call good luck,ja?
|
| 00:05:42 | Look, sandow, you've got to expect a little
rain with the sunshine.
|
| 00:05:48 | [Laughter]
that was very embarrassing, flo, very embarrassing.
|
| 00:05:54 | Don't get your dander up. who knows?
|
| 00:05:57 | Maybe that little shower will bring us oodles
of luck.
|
| 00:06:01 | Well, I hope it brings us so much business
like that little egypt.
|
| 00:06:03 | Look at those peoples, how they crowd in
to see that woman make wiggles.
|
| 00:06:08 | When yet they wouldn't come to see me lift
weights,
what no other man in the world can lift!
|
| 00:06:13 | Sandow, I'm afraid your trouble is you developed
the wrong muscles.
|
| 00:06:18 | What you say?
|
| 00:06:19 | Every muscle in sandow's body is developed,
even the toes like that.
|
| 00:06:23 | With one arm I make a better muscle dance
than that little egypt with the whole body.
|
| 00:06:28 | Look, boss.
|
| 00:06:35 | Woman: Good heavens!
|
| 00:06:40 | Are you mr. sandow the strong man?
|
| 00:06:43 | Yes, madam, this is the great sandow.
|
| 00:06:45 | Look at those huge shoulders.
|
| 00:06:46 | Aren't they marvelous!
|
| 00:06:48 | Yes, dear, come on.
|
| 00:06:49 | And that big chest!
|
| 00:06:51 | Why, I never saw a chest like that before.
|
| 00:06:53 | Oh, darling, come on.
|
| 00:06:54 | And his waistline.
|
| 00:06:56 | Oh, it's simply magnificent!
|
| 00:06:58 | Now, precious, come on.
|
| 00:06:59 | Just a minute, dear.
|
| 00:07:00 | I think your muscles are simply
astounding.
|
| 00:07:03 | Perhaps madam would like to feel the muscles
of the great sandow.
|
| 00:07:08 | I'd love to.
|
| 00:07:10 | Sandow, your arm.
|
| 00:07:15 | Ohh! ohh!
|
| 00:07:19 | Flo, is she dead?
|
| 00:07:21 | No, she's only fainted.
|
| 00:07:23 | But, oh, what an idea! come on!
|
| 00:07:25 | Wait a minute! where are you going?
|
| 00:07:27 | To the papers!
|
| 00:07:29 | Where?
|
| 00:07:30 | To the newspapers!
|
| 00:07:31 | I'm going to tell them to follow this,
that the women will be fighting to see you.
|
| 00:07:34 | Not to watch you lift weights and bend steel
balls,
but simply to feel your muscles.
|
| 00:07:37 | Why, sandow, you've got more sex appeal
in your one arm
..
|
| 00:07:42 | the miracle
of strength!
|
| 00:07:45 | Watch his muscles quiver in musical rhythm!
|
| 00:07:49 | Sandow, quiver!
|
| 00:07:52 | [Harem music playing]
sufficient.
|
| 00:07:56 | And now, ladies, if you want to see more
of the great sandow,
if your hearts are strong enough to stand
the thrill,
the show
starts in 5 minutes.
|
| 00:08:08 | Billings: Uh, uh, folks, this is the show!
|
| 00:08:12 | How's business, jack?
|
| 00:08:25 | All right?
|
| 00:08:26 | Mm-hmm. doesn't it sparkle?
|
| 00:08:29 | Yes, doesn't it?
|
| 00:08:31 | You like it?
|
| 00:08:32 | I certainly do.
|
| 00:08:36 | I'm glad.
|
| 00:08:52 | [Piano playing scales]
dr. ziegfeld.
|
| 00:09:09 | Yes?
|
| 00:09:10 | Can't I play my piece for you now?
|
| 00:09:13 | ..
|
| 00:09:16 | [Playing scales]
I don't blame you, mary lou. so do i.
|
| 00:09:21 | Go ahead. go on, play your little piece.
|
| 00:09:25 | [Plays piano]
dr. ziegfeld?
|
| 00:09:32 | Yes, dear.
|
| 00:09:33 | Do you know I was mad at your son?
|
| 00:09:36 | Mad at your best fella? oh, but why?
|
| 00:09:40 | Because he left us for that old world's fair.
|
| 00:09:42 | Oh, well, darling, you know the fair closed
yesterday.
|
| 00:09:46 | And is he coming back here again?
|
| 00:09:50 | Well, i--i hope so.
|
| 00:09:53 | Go on. you--go on with your lesson.
|
| 00:09:56 | [Plays piano]
dr. ziegfeld.
|
| 00:10:05 | Yes, dear.
|
| 00:10:05 | Did you know I was going to marry your son?
|
| 00:10:08 | Ha ha ha! well, well, this is so sudden.
|
| 00:10:12 | Are you?
|
| 00:10:13 | Oh, yes. we got that settled months ago.
|
| 00:10:16 | Yes, father, didn't you know mary lou and
I are engaged?
|
| 00:10:20 | [Continues playing]
don't I get a kiss today?
|
| 00:10:25 | Not even a smile?
|
| 00:10:26 | Ahh! well, father, what do you think of that?
|
| 00:10:30 | My future wife won't even kiss me,
and I brought her a present, too!
|
| 00:10:35 | !
|
| 00:10:36 | Kiss first.
|
| 00:10:37 | No.
|
| 00:10:38 | Present first.
|
| 00:10:39 | No. kiss first.
|
| 00:10:40 | we'll both give at the
same time.
|
| 00:10:43 | How's that? on the count of 3. ready?
|
| 00:10:46 | ..
|
| 00:10:48 | ..
|
| 00:10:49 | Same time, remember.
|
| 00:10:51 | 3!
|
| 00:10:52 | ziegfeld, isn't
it lovely!
|
| 00:10:58 | Oh, I'm going to open it right now.
|
| 00:11:01 | Right now! yes!
|
| 00:11:03 | Oh, well, well, well.
|
| 00:11:04 | Well, florenz, what have you decided to do?
|
| 00:11:08 | Well, I'm going to new york tomorrow, dad.
|
| 00:11:12 | With that sandow, that strong man?
|
| 00:11:14 | Father, I don't really belong here.
|
| 00:11:19 | No, I don't like it.
|
| 00:11:21 | You don't like it, huh?
|
| 00:11:23 | The greatest music conservatory in the country.
|
| 00:11:25 | I built it all myself.
|
| 00:11:27 | Students from all over the world are coming
here,
and you-- you don't like it.
|
| 00:11:33 | You realize that maybe somewhere in one
of these rooms here
we find a future beethoven? or liszt?
|
| 00:11:39 | And you, my own son, all you want is a circus!
|
| 00:11:43 | A circus with a fellow that can throw cannonballs
around, huh?
|
| 00:11:46 | Dad, don't be upset.
|
| 00:11:48 | Sandow is a means to an end.
|
| 00:11:51 | Yeah, to your end.
|
| 00:11:52 | Look, when you was a little fellow like that--
since then, I've educated you in music and
art.
|
| 00:11:58 | From your mother you got the refinement,
taste, culture!
|
| 00:12:01 | what has it done
you?
|
| 00:12:04 | What are you now, anyhow?
|
| 00:12:07 | A muscle manager! a beef exhibitor!
|
| 00:12:08 | Then you got to go on the outside, and you
..
|
| 00:12:13 | You got to act like a dog outside!
|
| 00:12:16 | Florenz: what
do you mean a dog?
|
| 00:12:18 | I don't mean you're
a dog,
..
|
| 00:12:22 | that's
a dog, ain't it?
|
| 00:12:25 | Now, listen, let me tell you something.
|
| 00:12:28 | If you go away from here,
I'll never speak to you again as long as
I live.
|
| 00:12:31 | Ah, dad, you don't mean that.
|
| 00:12:33 | ..
|
| 00:12:35 | And I mean every word of it!
|
| 00:12:38 | [Crying]
hey, wait a minute!
|
| 00:12:42 | Now, you just stop that crying.
|
| 00:12:46 | Now, you tell your fellow why you're crying.
|
| 00:12:48 | If you're been my fellow, why are you going
away?
|
| 00:12:53 | Wha--ha ha ha!
|
| 00:12:56 | Now, look, you sit right up here, and I'll
tell you all about it.
|
| 00:13:02 | Now, I'll be honest with you.
|
| 00:13:04 | I'm not really your fellow.
|
| 00:13:07 | You mean you don't like me anymore?
|
| 00:13:11 | I not only like you. I love you.
|
| 00:13:14 | But you know, I'm the funniest kind of a
fellow.
|
| 00:13:18 | I love all the girls.
|
| 00:13:20 | How can you do that? do they let you?
|
| 00:13:23 | Oh, well, you didn't quite understand what
I mean, darling.
|
| 00:13:28 | ..some people like beautiful paintings.
|
| 00:13:34 | Like that one?
|
| 00:13:36 | Like that one.
|
| 00:13:37 | Some people love beautiful flowers.
|
| 00:13:39 | Like those?
|
| 00:13:41 | Like those.
|
| 00:13:41 | Now, I love beautiful little girls like this
one.
|
| 00:13:45 | And you know what I'm going to do someday?
|
| 00:13:49 | What?
|
| 00:13:49 | I'm going to take all the beautiful little
girlsike you,
and I'm going to put them together
and make pictures with them.
|
| 00:13:58 | Will I be in a picture?
|
| 00:13:59 | Well, I should say you will.
|
| 00:14:01 | But in the meantime,
you know, I think that we ought to break
our engagement.
|
| 00:14:07 | Why?
|
| 00:14:07 | Well, because there are going to be lots
of little boys come around
who are going to want to take you out and
buy you sodas,
and of course if you're engaged to me, you
can't go out with them.
|
| 00:14:17 | Why can't i?
|
| 00:14:18 | Well, because, if you were married to me,
I'm not going to have you running around
with those other boys.
|
| 00:14:23 | I couldn't stand for that.
|
| 00:14:25 | You couldn't?
|
| 00:14:26 | Well, of course I couldn't!
|
| 00:14:28 | Ha ha ha ha!
|
| 00:14:29 | Well, what are you laughing at?
|
| 00:14:31 | At you! you're jealous!
|
| 00:14:33 | Well, you can just bet I'm jealous!
|
| 00:14:35 | Oh, well, now, I've got to run along.
|
| 00:14:40 | Whoopee!
|
| 00:14:42 | Florenz!
|
| 00:14:45 | Will you be home to dinner tonight?
|
| 00:14:47 | Yes, dad.
|
| 00:14:49 | Well, I'll see you then.
|
| 00:14:50 | And in the meantime, son, remember--anything
you do, I wish you luck.
|
| 00:14:59 | I knew you would.
|
| 00:15:56 | Hold it, mr. ziegfeld!
|
| 00:15:58 | [All talking]
thank you, thank you.
|
| 00:16:04 | ..
|
| 00:16:06 | From my troupe including the strongest man
in the world, sandow!
|
| 00:16:13 | [Applause]
..uh...
|
| 00:16:24 | Humane society?
|
| 00:16:25 | Say, what's this I read in the papers about
a lion and a bear?
|
| 00:16:31 | Well, is your society going to tolerate such
an atrocity?
|
| 00:16:34 | Are you going to spill the blood of two dumb
animals over the good name of san francisco?
|
| 00:16:40 | Well, I didn't think you'd permit such cruelty.
|
| 00:16:43 | Why, it would be a crime to send a poor grizzly
bear into a cage with a man-eating lion.
|
| 00:16:49 | Crime!
|
| 00:17:10 | [Growls]
[crowd booing]
ha ha ha!
|
| 00:17:28 | Ho ho ho!
|
| 00:17:30 | What's so funny?
|
| 00:17:32 | Oh, you wouldn't understand,
because you don't know ziegfeld.
|
| 00:17:35 | But the police are after him, and this paper's
two weeks old,
so he's probably in jail by now. ha ha ha!
|
| 00:17:40 | Do you know him, jack?
|
| 00:17:42 | Oh, yeah, he's a pal of mine.
|
| 00:17:45 | Ha ha--
hello!
|
| 00:17:56 | Well, jack, this is a surprise!
|
| 00:18:01 | Yes.
|
| 00:18:01 | Certainly glad to see you aboard.
|

| 00:18:11 | Hey, who is she?
|
| 00:18:12 | You'll never know.
|
| 00:18:14 | Tell me, what happened in frisco?
|
| 00:18:15 | Did you really send sandow in against a lion?
|
| 00:18:18 | Sure, but the lion wouldn't fight.
|
| 00:18:20 | Ha ha wouldn't or couldn't?
|
| 00:18:22 | Well, to tell you the truth, jack,
I didn't stay for the finish.
|
| 00:18:26 | ..
|
| 00:18:28 | Ha ha.
|
| 00:18:29 | Well, where is sandow now?
|
| 00:18:30 | he's gone into the
legitimate.
|
| 00:18:33 | What do you think of that?
|
| 00:18:35 | He's with lillian russell inas you like it.
|
| 00:18:37 | Yeah, well, I don't think I'd like it.
|
| 00:18:39 | another
strong man?
|
| 00:18:42 | No, no. just a little vacation.
|
| 00:18:45 | London?
|
| 00:18:45 | Well, uh, monte carlo first.
|
| 00:18:46 | Oh, you're going to lose all the money you
made on sandow.
|
| 00:18:50 | No, I'm going to double it.
|
| 00:18:53 | Oh, yes.
|
| 00:18:53 | another little
egypt?
|
| 00:18:55 | Oh, no, no. just a rest.
|
| 00:18:57 | Of course if I see any exceptional talent,
of course I'll pick it up.
|
| 00:19:00 | Oh, naturally. so will i.
|
| 00:19:02 | Oh, you got anybody in mind?
|
| 00:19:04 | No, no. why? do you?
|
| 00:19:07 | No, no.
|
| 00:19:08 | Only the greatest artist in europe, that's
all.
|
| 00:19:12 | Well, who's that?
|
| 00:19:13 | If I told you, you'd cross me before we'd
cross the ocean.
|
| 00:19:17 | ..
|
| 00:19:18 | Miss carlisle wishes to know whether there
will be 3 for tea or just two.
|
| 00:19:24 | Oh, just two. yes, just two.
|
| 00:19:28 | Heh heh heh.

|
| 00:19:49 | 100 A month, sir.
|
| 00:19:50 | Only-- well, that's not very much, is it?
|
| 00:19:54 | I hadn't thought of it, sir.
|
| 00:19:56 | Well, think of it, sidney.
|
| 00:20:06 | [Bell tolling]
standardevening news!
|
| 00:20:16 | Oh, uh, take care of the luggage, will you?
|
| 00:20:19 | And tip the doorman, sidney.
|
| 00:20:21 | Yes, sir.

?
|
| 00:20:30 | Yes, sir. will you register, please?
|
| 00:20:33 | Surely.
|
| 00:20:34 | Is mr. billings still here?
|
| 00:20:36 | Yes, sir, on your floor.
|
| 00:20:39 | Oh, yes.
|
| 00:20:40 | Boy, rooms 325 and 26.
|
| 00:20:43 | Thank you.
|
| 00:20:51 | you deserter,
you!
|
| 00:20:54 | Yes, sir. thank you, sir.
|
| 00:20:55 | Yes, well, why didn't you tell me you were
dissatisfied?
|
| 00:20:59 | I--i--you pirate!
|
| 00:21:00 | Now, now, wait a minute, jack.
|
| 00:21:01 | Gentlemen don't quarrel over gentlemen's
gentlemen.
|
| 00:21:05 | Oh, you--you--
let me tell you the whole story.
|
| 00:21:07 | If you're still angry, sidney can go back
with you.
|
| 00:21:11 | Oh, I wouldn't--
look, jack, it was this way--
I've always envied you-- your dress, your
style, the way you look.
|
| 00:21:18 | So that when I saw your valet
and I realized that it was he who took such
magnificent care of you,
well, I just couldn't resist the temptation
of hiring him for myself.
|
| 00:21:28 | You mean you wanted to look like me?
|
| 00:21:31 | I wanted to look
just like you.
|
| 00:21:36 | You faker.
|
| 00:21:37 | I thought you weren't
going to be in london for weeks.
|
| 00:21:41 | Oh, well, that's a long story.
|
| 00:21:44 | You know, I was going to break the bank
at monte carlo--
I know, but the bank broke you, huh?
|
| 00:21:51 | What did you lose?
|
| 00:21:53 | $50,000.
|
| 00:21:53 | Ho ho ho! what have you got left?
|
| 00:21:56 | 50 Cents.
|
| 00:21:58 | 50 Cents. well, I'll see you later.
|
| 00:22:00 | But, jack, wait a minute. ha ha.
|
| 00:22:05 | Lend me 5,000, will you?
|
| 00:22:08 | Ha ha ha!
|
| 00:22:09 | Will you make it 2,500?
|
| 00:22:11 | If I gave you $2,500,
by the time you tipped 6 bellboys, you'd
be broke again.
|
| 00:22:17 | Listen, jack, I really need it.
|
| 00:22:18 | I'll tell you what I'll do.
|
| 00:22:20 | I'll give you $500 if you'll catch the next
boat back to new york.
|
| 00:22:24 | There's one leaving in the morning.
|
| 00:22:26 | How's that? fair enough?
|
| 00:22:27 | will you
sail with me?
|
| 00:22:29 | ziegfeld, I have business in
london.
|
| 00:22:32 | Oh, haven't you got the world's greatest
artist yet?
|
| 00:22:35 | Not yet, but I will have.
|
| 00:22:38 | Who is it, jack?
|
| 00:22:39 | Ho ho.
|
| 00:22:40 | Go on, you can tell me now! I'm broke!
|
| 00:22:41 | I won't tell you till I have her name on
the dotted line.
|
| 00:22:45 | It's a her, is it?
|
| 00:22:47 | Yes, and beautiful her, too,
and she's signing the contract tonight.
|
| 00:22:51 | Good-bye, mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 00:22:52 | Good-bye, mr. billings.
|
| 00:23:08 | I say, doorman, did mr. billings come out?
|
| 00:23:11 | Just this moment drove away, sir.
|
| 00:23:12 | I've got a very important
message for him.
|
| 00:23:15 | Do you know where he went?
|
| 00:23:16 | Yes, sir, the palace music hall, sir.
|
| 00:23:18 | Palace music hall? good show?
|
| 00:23:19 | Not so much, except for the little french
actress, sir.
|
| 00:23:21 | She's truly wonderful!
|
| 00:23:23 | She has eyes this big, sir,
and every time she blinks them at you,
well, you jolly well blink yourself, sir.
|
| 00:23:28 | Have you seen anna held, sir?
|
| 00:23:30 | ..tonight.
|
| 00:23:34 | I say, sir, do you realize you gave me ££5?
|
| 00:23:37 | Yes, I'm trying to lose weight.

|
| 00:25:44 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:25:45 | From who--
who would have gathered all the orchids in
the world just for me?
|
| 00:25:50 | I do not know, but they must have cost thousands
of francs.
|
| 00:25:53 | Was no card with it?
|
| 00:25:55 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:25:56 | Marie, this is very strange.
|
| 00:25:59 | What, madame?
|
| 00:25:59 | I learned the english words, I sing the english
songs,
and yet I cannot read english.
|
| 00:26:04 | What shall that mean? please read it to me.
|
| 00:26:06 | "My dear miss held, it is very important
to your future
"that you see me before signing any contract.
|
| 00:26:14 | "I shall be waiting at the stage entrance
"immediately after your performance.
|
| 00:26:19 | "
?
|
| 00:26:24 | I do not know, madame.
|
| 00:26:25 | And why the junior? is he a little boy?
|
| 00:26:29 | I do not know, madame.
|
| 00:26:30 | Boop! I will not see this mr. ziegfeld, jr.
|
| 00:26:34 | You will see monsieur billings,oui?
|
| 00:26:37 | Oui.
|
| 00:26:39 | Oh, marie, his flowers are very nice.
|
| 00:26:42 | I think I am polite and see this monsieur
junior ziegfeld.
|
| 00:26:48 | But monsieur billings is coming to talk to
you
about the great american tour.
|
| 00:26:52 | Has madame forgotten his cables?
|
| 00:26:54 | Oh, yes, that's all right, but these flowers
are very beautiful.
|
| 00:26:58 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:27:02 | Jack, she's all right.
|
| 00:27:04 | Yeah, I know she is without you telling me.
|
| 00:27:06 | I wish you wouldn't keep following me.
|
| 00:27:09 | Oh, all right.
|
| 00:27:11 | Well, good night.
|
| 00:27:12 | Good night.
|
| 00:27:13 | I wish you wouldn't annoy me.
|
| 00:27:15 | I'm going to sign
the contract tonight.
|
| 00:27:19 | Ooh, that's great.
|
| 00:27:20 | You bet it is.
|
| 00:27:22 | I said it was.
|
| 00:27:23 | Yes, well, good night.
|
| 00:27:25 | Good night.
|
| 00:27:27 | Will you stop shadowing me?
|
| 00:27:29 | Jack, I'm not following you.
|
| 00:27:30 | I just happened to be going your way.
|
| 00:27:32 | Oh, you've got a date with a chorus girl,
I suppose.
|
| 00:27:35 | You're going to spend that $500.
|
| 00:27:37 | I can't spend it. I've spent it.
|
| 00:27:39 | Oh, you spent it. well, good night.
|
| 00:27:42 | Good night.
|
| 00:27:43 | I beg your pardon, sir, but--
oh, I have an appointment with miss held.
|
| 00:27:49 | Oh, I see.
|
| 00:27:50 | Is mr. ziegfeld out here?
|
| 00:27:52 | Jack: Oh, no--
yes, my dear. I'm mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 00:27:55 | ziegfeld, miss held would like you to
come in, please.
|
| 00:27:58 | Well, but--
well, good night,
jack.
|
| 00:28:02 | Marie: Oh, mr. ziegfeld, your orchids!
|
| 00:28:04 | They are the most beautiful orchids I have
ever seen.
|
| 00:28:13 | Won't you come in, monsieur ziegfeld?
|
| 00:28:21 | Your flowers are so beautiful.
|
| 00:28:23 | I could not resist the temptation to thank
you.
|
| 00:28:26 | [Chuckles]
miss held.
|
| 00:28:28 | Oui?
|
| 00:28:29 | Do you mind my telling you
that you should never wear so many jewels
on your hand?
|
| 00:28:33 | You think so?
|
| 00:28:35 | Some women, yes, but your hands, no.
|
| 00:28:38 | did you
hear that, marie?
|
| 00:28:43 | Marie:OUI,MADAME.
|
| 00:28:43 | Won't you sit down, monsieur ziegfeld?
|
| 00:28:46 | Thank you.
|
| 00:28:47 | I did not know americans could be so gallant.
|
| 00:28:49 | Tell me, monsieur ziegfeld, are you in the
theater?
|
| 00:28:52 | Yes. I'm a producer.
|
| 00:28:53 | monsieur
ziegfeld is an american producer!
|
| 00:28:58 | Do you know monsieur billings?
|
| 00:29:00 | Billings?
|
| 00:29:02 | Oui.
|
| 00:29:03 | Billings.
|
| 00:29:05 | He's american producer, too.
|
| 00:29:07 | Oh, is that so?
|
| 00:29:08 | Oui.
|
| 00:29:09 | No, I've never heard of him.
|
| 00:29:11 | Of course, not in new york, that is.
|
| 00:29:13 | America's a big country, miss held.
|
| 00:29:15 | We still have many producers in the west
putting on shows for the indians.
|
| 00:29:18 | Indians? do you mean the savages?
|
| 00:29:20 | Yes.
|
| 00:29:21 | Did you hear that marie?
|
| 00:29:23 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:29:23 | I do not think I will like america.
|
| 00:29:25 | Oh, you'll love new york.
|
| 00:29:27 | Would new york love me?
|
| 00:29:29 | I think so.
|
| 00:29:29 | You only think so. did you not like my performance?
|
| 00:29:32 | Yes and no.
|
| 00:29:33 | does it
mean yes or no?
|
| 00:29:37 | Well, both.
|
| 00:29:37 | Did you not care for my singing, no?
|
| 00:29:40 | Yes. a trifle nasal, I thought, but yes.
|
| 00:29:43 | And you did not like my costumes either.
|
| 00:29:46 | No, I thought one dress was very effective,
but the rest, no.
|
| 00:29:48 | Monsieur ziegfeld, I think you're very rude!
|
| 00:29:53 | Please go!
|
| 00:29:55 | Marie, open the door!
|
| 00:30:03 | Monsieur ziegfeld!
|
| 00:30:07 | Yes?
|
| 00:30:08 | Come back, please.
|
| 00:30:13 | Sit down.
|
| 00:30:18 | You know, you're very honest.
|
| 00:30:21 | I like you very much.
|
| 00:30:23 | Your note says it is important to my future
to see you.
|
| 00:30:28 | Why is that?
|
| 00:30:29 | If you want to play in new york, it is.
|
| 00:30:31 | But I have many offers for new york now.
|
| 00:30:33 | I've no doubt of that, but so have many others.
|
| 00:30:35 | You know, there's foreign talent going into
new york every day.
|
| 00:30:38 | But what happens to them? what?
|
| 00:30:39 | Well, they open at tony pasta's theater,
and they get the hook.
|
| 00:30:44 | Hook, what is that?
|
| 00:30:45 | A little thing you catch fish with, a hook.
|
| 00:30:48 | Now, if I take you over, I'll present you
..
|
| 00:30:52 | In a great show in the best theater to the
best people.
|
| 00:30:57 | I'll exploit you from coast to coast.
|
| 00:30:59 | Exploit? what is that?
|
| 00:31:01 | I'll put you over, I'll sell you.
|
| 00:31:04 | Sell me?
|
| 00:31:05 | To the public, and I'll make them pay for
you.
|
| 00:31:07 | And how much will you pay me?
|
| 00:31:10 | I'll advertise your name from every corner.
|
| 00:31:12 | Women will be wearing anna held hats, anna
held shoes,
even the children will
know you.
|
| 00:31:17 | how much will you
pay me?
|
| 00:31:20 | I'll give you more publicity than you've
ever dreamed of.
|
| 00:31:23 | but how much money
will you give me?
|
| 00:31:26 | I'll give you the greatest opening night
that new york has ever had.
|
| 00:31:29 | You'll see the goulds, the astors, the vanderbilts.
|
| 00:31:33 | Diamond jim brady, lillian russell--
lillian russell?
|
| 00:31:36 | Yes.
|
| 00:31:37 | Well, I would so much like to see her.
|
| 00:31:40 | ..
|
| 00:31:41 | at first you must speak about the
money,
because I've so many offers now.
|
| 00:31:45 | I'll meet your biggest offer.
|
| 00:31:48 | Really?
|
| 00:31:49 | Well, that is very nice of you.
|
| 00:31:52 | But maybe when you hear how much it is,
you don't think I'm worth so much.
|
| 00:31:57 | How much is it?
|
| 00:31:58 | They are all very good, but the highest one
is that of mr. billings.
|
| 00:32:02 | He says he will give me 50,000 francs besides
my salary,
which is very big,
just to sign the contract.
|
| 00:32:09 | That is, how much in american money, marie?
|
| 00:32:12 | $10,000, Madame.
|
| 00:32:13 | $10,000, Monsieur.
|
| 00:32:14 | $10,000.
|
| 00:32:15 | Oui,that's a very big amount.
|
| 00:32:17 | And even if you would give me the $10,000
and I would sign with you,
you still would have to wait till I finished
my london engagement.
|
| 00:32:25 | I couldn't do that.
|
| 00:32:26 | You couldn't even wait for me?
|
| 00:32:28 | I couldn't even give you the $10,000.
|
| 00:32:33 | You think it's too much, huh?
|
| 00:32:35 | I think it isn't enough.
|
| 00:32:37 | But I haven't it.
|
| 00:32:38 | What, you expect I should sign a contract
for america with you?
|
| 00:32:43 | You don't even have $10,000?
|
| 00:32:46 | I haven't even 1,000.
|
| 00:32:47 | I did have before I stopped off at monte
carlo,
but right now, I haven't even 100.
|
| 00:32:51 | But I'll spread your name all over--
enough!
|
| 00:32:55 | You just tried to make the fool of me.
|
| 00:32:57 | You are the impostor! you are no gentleman!
|
| 00:33:00 | Please go! marie, open the door!
|
| 00:33:05 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:33:17 | Monsieur ziegfeld!
|
| 00:33:19 | Come back, please!
|
| 00:33:26 | Sit down.
|
| 00:33:30 | I like you
very much.
|
| 00:33:44 | van rexler's
carriage!
|
| 00:33:48 | She has big eyes, doesn't she?
|
| 00:33:51 | Yeah, but I couldn't understand a word she
said.
|
| 00:33:52 | I'll take lillian russell for my money.
|
| 00:33:54 | Mr. astor's carriage!
|
| 00:33:55 | Did you like her?
|
| 00:33:56 | did you notice the
empty seats?
|
| 00:33:58 | Miss russell's carriage!
|
| 00:34:00 | I think she's charming.
|
| 00:34:03 | Mr. thor's carriage!
|
| 00:34:05 | Tell them I don't want a carriage.
|
| 00:34:08 | Well?
|
| 00:34:08 | The show's all right, if they had an american
star.
|
| 00:34:11 | Mrs. harriman's carriage!
|
| 00:34:12 | Mr. stuyvesant's carriage!
|
| 00:34:14 | Ha ha ha!
|
| 00:34:16 | May I have your carriage called, mr. brady?
|
| 00:34:19 | Yes, thank you, son.
|
| 00:34:20 | Ziggy, stanford and I just made a little
wager.
|
| 00:34:23 | He bet me 5,000 that I wouldn't get back
the 10,000 you borrowed to bring anna over
here.
|
| 00:34:29 | I'll split your end of the bet 50/50 with
you, mr. white.
|
| 00:34:34 | I told you so. I told you so.
|
| 00:34:36 | Brady: Well, what's a few thousand dollars
anyway?
|
| 00:34:39 | Man: Mr. chandler's carriage!
|
| 00:34:42 | Mr. saks' carriage!
|
| 00:34:45 | Balcony 22.
|
| 00:34:46 | Well, sampston, what's the loss this week?
|
| 00:34:50 | The show earned a profit of $1,340.32.
|
| 00:34:55 | You drew $2,550 which gives us a loss of
$1,209.68.
|
| 00:35:03 | we can't keep the
show running with losses like that.
|
| 00:35:07 | Where's sage?
|
| 00:35:08 | Upstairs.
|
| 00:35:09 | Oh, what a press agent! he's never around!
|
| 00:35:11 | Here, take a wire to him.
|
| 00:35:13 | But he's just upstairs in his office, mr.
|
| 00:35:13 | Ziegfeld.
|
| 00:35:15 | I know it. take a wire anyway.
|
| 00:35:17 | How do you expect to do business without
publicity? stop.
|
| 00:35:18 | Anna held was the sensation of europe. stop.
|
| 00:35:21 | Appeared before kings and queens. stop.
|
| 00:35:24 | Yet you get nothing in the papers about her.
|
| 00:35:25 | Stop.
|
| 00:35:26 | You're ruining me. stop.
|
| 00:35:27 | If you're a press agent, I'm president cleveland.
|
| 00:35:31 | Stop.

no, no, no.
|
| 00:36:30 | I won't sing today. I can't sing today.
|
| 00:36:35 | I'm much too much inside here.
|

|
| 00:36:42 | Oui,madame!
|
| 00:36:43 | It's so silly!
|
| 00:36:46 | But monsieur ziegfeld did not ask me to teach
you to sing.
|
| 00:36:48 | I simply want to help madame to lose a little
of her french accent.
|
| 00:36:52 | But your accent is much more than my accent,
and I don't want to lose my accent.
|
| 00:36:56 | Marie.
|
| 00:36:57 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:36:57 | Did you try and get monsieur ziegfeld again?
|
| 00:37:00 | He is not home, madame.
|
| 00:37:01 | Please try it again.
|
| 00:37:02 | And the newspaper reporters?
|
| 00:37:03 | They are still waiting in the lobby, madame.
|
| 00:37:06 | Well, tell them to go away.
|
| 00:37:08 | Tell the hotel to push them out.
|
| 00:37:09 | Tell them we are going back to france!

| 00:37:23 | I'm too happy, madame!
|

|
| 00:37:26 | We are sailing forparis.
|
| 00:37:29 | Oui!
|
| 00:37:30 | No.
|
| 00:37:31 | No?
|
| 00:37:32 | No, I changed my mind.
|
| 00:37:35 | Marie, go unpack my things.
|
| 00:37:37 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:37:38 | You see, it's true.
|
| 00:37:40 | Marie: It is not.
|
| 00:37:42 | It is.
|
| 00:37:43 | No!
|
| 00:37:43 | What is true and what is not true?
|
| 00:37:45 | Pierre says madame is in love with monsieur
ziegfeld.
|
| 00:37:48 | Did you say that, pierre?
|
| 00:37:50 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:37:50 | Why did you say that, pierre?
|
| 00:37:52 | Because I'm afraid it's true.
|
| 00:37:54 | don't you like monsieur
ziegfeld?
|
| 00:37:58 | Oui,madame, that's the trouble.
|
| 00:38:00 | Everybody likes him, especially the ladies.
|
| 00:38:02 | Oh, madame, you'd never be happy with him.
|
| 00:38:05 | You'd never be able to hold him.
|
| 00:38:07 | Why, he attracts women like the flowers
attract bees,
like the flypaper attract the flies.
|
| 00:38:12 | I've seen the flies
on the fly paper,
and it seems to me they stick very well.
|
| 00:38:20 | Oh, but, madame--
pierre, please.
|
| 00:38:22 | How can I love someone who plays tricks on
me?
|
| 00:38:24 | Puts terrible things in the newspaper?
|
| 00:38:26 | Has millions of reporters annoying me?
|
| 00:38:28 | Pardon, madame, the newspapers have been
very nice to you.
|
| 00:38:32 | Why don't you want to see the reporters?
|
| 00:38:34 | Because I know exactly what it is they want
to ask me.
|
| 00:38:36 | You do not understand, no?
|
| 00:38:39 | Frankly, no, madame.
|
| 00:38:40 | Oh, then I will tell you what happened.
|
| 00:38:43 | Two months ago monsieur ziegfeld says to
me,
"anna, from now on I'm going to send you
"
"
I mean, mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 00:38:54 | "
those are from him.
|
| 00:38:59 | But he says, "no, anna, this is something
"
so naturally I cannot wait to see what he
sends me.
|
| 00:39:07 | And the next day what do you think I get?
|
| 00:39:10 | A diamond ring?
|
| 00:39:12 | No.
|
| 00:39:13 | A bracelet?
|
| 00:39:14 | No. 4 big cans of milk.
|
| 00:39:18 | Milk!
|
| 00:39:19 | 20 Gallons!

"
and do you know what he says?

| 00:40:01 | and you will

no!
|
| 00:40:08 | Well, I'm too angry to speak!
|
| 00:40:09 | In paris I was a big success because they
liked my voice.
|
| 00:40:12 | In london I was a big success because they
liked my singing.
|
| 00:40:15 | But in america, to be a big success,
I need 20 gallons of milk and must sit in
it!
|
| 00:40:21 | Well, do you bathe in it, madame?
|
| 00:40:23 | No, of course not.
|
| 00:40:24 | But every day we get the milk and every day
we take it in
because monsieur ziegfeld says
we must carry out his idea.
|
| 00:40:31 | did you read this morning
the paper?
|
| 00:40:34 | No, madame.

| 00:40:48 | Tell him I do not want one can more of milk
from him!

|
| 00:41:08 | Downstairs in the lobby, madame.

we just don't let him in.

tell the reporters.
|

|
| 00:42:55 | The front page of the paper says you are
sued on my account!
|
| 00:42:59 | If you must send me milk, why don't you pay
for it?
|
| 00:43:01 | If I did, it wouldn't be in the papers.
|
| 00:43:02 | Can't you tell them I just used the milk
without buying it
and being sued for it?
|
| 00:43:09 | They wouldn't believe it.
|
| 00:43:10 | Now it's a matter of court record.
|
| 00:43:11 | Besides they don't care whether I ever pay
the bill or not.
|
| 00:43:13 | All that interests them is that in two months
you've used 1,200 gallons of milk.
|
| 00:43:19 | This is terrible!
|
| 00:43:21 | Marie, ask the reporters to come up.
|

|
| 00:47:43 | Oh, marie, look.
|
| 00:47:46 | Oh, marie! marie! you read what he says.
|
| 00:47:50 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:47:51 | Read it to me, quick!
|
| 00:47:54 | What does it say?
|
| 00:47:55 | "My darling, I never knew that one long year
"could seem like one short moment.
|
| 00:48:04 | "You are magnificent, my wife.
|
| 00:48:08 | "
oh, marie.
|
| 00:48:14 | Marie, did you hear that?
|
| 00:48:16 | I just read it, madame.
|
| 00:48:17 | No, no. did you hear what he says?
|
| 00:48:19 | "
oh, madame, look! look!
|
| 00:48:32 | Ahh!
|
| 00:48:35 | Marie!
|
| 00:48:38 | Come on, help me.
|
| 00:48:41 | Isn't it gorgeous?
|
| 00:48:43 | Oh, madame, look, look! here's another one!
|
| 00:48:49 | Oh, marie!
|
| 00:48:52 | Oh, that makes me so much inside here.
|
| 00:48:58 | Much too much.
|
| 00:49:03 | First he gives me all the flowers in the
world,
..
|
| 00:49:10 | Just for me.
|
| 00:49:13 | "
am I magnificent, marie?
|
| 00:49:20 | Oui,madame.
|
| 00:49:21 | No, no, no. he's magnificent, not i.
|
| 00:49:24 | Marie!
|
| 00:49:27 | Marie, I must show them to the girls!
|
| 00:49:30 | I come back immediately!
|
| 00:49:31 | ziegfeld comes, please tell him
he shall wait!
|
| 00:49:35 | Girls, would you like to see something wonderful?
|
| 00:49:39 | Oh, what is it?
|
| 00:49:40 | Look! and this, too!
|
| 00:49:41 | Diamonds!
|
| 00:49:42 | From my husband!
|
| 00:49:44 | May I try the bracelet?
|
| 00:49:45 | Sure.
|
| 00:49:47 | [Girls talking]
audrey, are you not interested in my presents?
|
| 00:49:55 | I would be if they were mine.
|
| 00:49:57 | But, audrey, you will have many of them someday.
|
| 00:50:01 | Maybe you have to work a little, to suffer
a little.
|
| 00:50:06 | But what is that, hmm?
|
| 00:50:07 | I'll work, but I won't suffer.
|
| 00:50:11 | Oh oh.
|
| 00:50:11 | Here you are, dear.
|
| 00:50:13 | Isn't it beautiful, audrey?
|
| 00:50:15 | I'll say it is.
|
| 00:50:16 | I'd give my soul for one like it.
|
| 00:50:18 | That would be a very bad bargain, audrey.
|
| 00:50:23 | All right, that's fine! tie it up!
|
| 00:50:53 | Buddy, you're better with your feet than
you are with your broom.
|
| 00:50:56 | .. you think so?
|
| 00:50:58 | Gee, I wish you'd give me a chance.
|
| 00:51:00 | I've got talent.
|
| 00:51:01 | And I'd like to get away from shifting scenery
and moving props.
|
| 00:51:04 | How long have you been a property boy?
|
| 00:51:06 | 5 Years. but my heart hasn't been in it.
|
| 00:51:09 | You've been working a long time without
your heart, buddy.
|
| 00:51:12 | Ha ha ha ha!
|
| 00:51:13 | That tickle you?
|
| 00:51:14 | It does, and this weekly return tickles me
more.
|
| 00:51:17 | Look, a profit of $5,000.
|
| 00:51:19 | Now, if you'll just be conservative,
don't incur any
fresh obligations.
|
| 00:51:24 | Forget that you have any charge accounts,
and you'll soon--
sampston, you're right. I will.
|
| 00:51:30 | Anna: Darling!
|
| 00:51:31 | Oh, anna.
|
| 00:51:33 | Anna.
|
| 00:51:36 | You're the sweetest husband in the whole
world.
|
| 00:51:41 | You-- mr. sampston!
|
| 00:51:45 | ..
|
| 00:51:48 | On our anniversary.
|
| 00:51:51 | This and this.
|
| 00:51:52 | Are they not gorgeous diamonds?
|
| 00:51:53 | Yes, indeed, miss held, gorgeous.
|
| 00:51:56 | Goodnight, mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 00:51:59 | Goodnight, sampston.
|
| 00:52:01 | He didn't seem very happy about my presents,oui?
|
| 00:52:04 | Anna, men who keep books are never very happy.
|
| 00:52:09 | Marie, go out for a while.
|
| 00:52:12 | He is my maid tonight.
|
| 00:52:14 | Go, go, go.
|
| 00:52:16 | Oh, I am, am i?
|
| 00:52:17 | Yes, you are.
|
| 00:52:19 | Later on I count all the diamonds
in the bracelet and the necklace
and give you kiss for each one.
|
| 00:52:24 | don't I get anything
for them?
|
| 00:52:27 | ..
|
| 00:52:29 | For each petal of each orchid, another kiss
extra.
|
| 00:52:33 | ..
|
| 00:52:36 | Take off my stocking, please.
|
| 00:52:38 | You know, this might get to be a habit.
|
| 00:52:41 | Flo, you're wonderful.
|
| 00:52:44 | You know that?
|
| 00:52:45 | I suspect it.
|
| 00:52:46 | Everything you promise me you do.
|
| 00:52:49 | Everything you say will happen, happens.
|
| 00:52:52 | And now I am a big success in america,
thanks to you.
|
| 00:52:58 | Ohh!
|
| 00:52:59 | Why do you do that,
when I am trying to say nice things to you?
|
| 00:53:03 | ..
|
| 00:53:07 | But I love you.
|
| 00:53:11 | ..
|
| 00:53:12 | What?
|
| 00:53:13 | ..are you as happy as I am?
|
| 00:53:16 | Happier.
|
| 00:53:18 | Why do you ask?
|
| 00:53:19 | Because sometimes I think I am too happy.
|
| 00:53:21 | Sometimes I get afraid it won't be always
like this,
working only for you,
while you do the show just for me.
|
| 00:53:29 | Couldn't I do another show without spoiling
our happiness?
|
| 00:53:32 | Of course you could. don't be silly.
|
| 00:53:38 | Do you want to do another show?
|
| 00:53:41 | ..
|
| 00:53:43 | Now that you've made such a tremendous success,
I have a little idea that I'd like to carry
out.
|
| 00:53:50 | Idea for a show?
|
| 00:53:51 | Mm-hmm. the biggest kind of a show.
|
| 00:53:54 | With music and girls?
|
| 00:53:56 | Beautiful girls, and--
without me,oui?
|
| 00:54:00 | Well, darling, you couldn't do two shows
at once, could you?
|
| 00:54:05 | Hmm?
|
| 00:54:08 | Now, anna, see here.
|
| 00:54:10 | Suppose we go down to rector's and celebrate
our anniversary, hmm?
|
| 00:54:14 | No, I don't--
just you and I and a bottle of wine?
|
| 00:54:17 | I don't feel like it.
|
| 00:54:18 | Come on now, dear.
|
| 00:54:20 | No, I'm so nervous.
|
| 00:54:21 | It'll be good for you.
|
| 00:54:22 | I'm so tired.
|
| 00:54:24 | I'm so disappointed in you I could scream!
|
| 00:54:28 | Now, anna--
I mean it.
|
| 00:54:30 | I thought you loved me more than anything
in the world.
|
| 00:54:32 | I thought I am your one ideal, your only
ambition.
|
| 00:54:36 | Anna--
no.
|
| 00:54:37 | I think only of you, and I thought you will
only think of me.
|
| 00:54:40 | you have big plans without
me.
|
| 00:54:43 | You will do a big show. you will gobrokeagain!
|
| 00:54:47 | Anna, you're jealous.
|
| 00:54:50 | No, flo!
|
| 00:54:51 | Yes.
|
| 00:54:52 | Don't say that, no!
|
| 00:54:53 | ..
|
| 00:54:55 | ..
|
| 00:54:58 | I'm angry, and I wish you would go.
|
| 00:55:00 | ..
|
| 00:55:03 | Please go, go!
|
| 00:55:05 | Go!
|
| 00:55:14 | Marie!
|
| 00:55:17 | ..
|
| 00:55:20 | [Crying]
..
|
| 00:55:27 | Ohh!
|
| 00:55:36 | Good morning, mr. billings.
|
| 00:55:36 | any messages for
me?
|
| 00:55:38 | erlanger wants
to see you today.
|
| 00:55:41 | Oh.
|
| 00:55:42 | And mr. ziegfeld is waiting in your office.
|
| 00:55:46 | I thought he'd be a little more comfortable
in there.
|
| 00:55:49 | .. oh yes, I see.
|
| 00:55:59 | To what do I owe the honor of this visit,
mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 00:56:05 | billings, if you've ever had it in for
me,
you've certainly avenged yourself.
|
| 00:56:11 | This is positively the worst cigar that I've
ever smoked in my life.
|
| 00:56:16 | How are you, jack?
|
| 00:56:17 | All right, how are you, ziggy?
|
| 00:56:18 | Never better. sit down, won't you?
|
| 00:56:20 | Thank you, nice of you.
|
| 00:56:22 | Jack, I'm here to do you a great favor.
|
| 00:56:23 | Yes, I know, but I'm sorry I can't take advantage
of it.
|
| 00:56:26 | that's why I'm hooked up with
erlanger.
|
| 00:56:29 | he's just the
man I need.
|
| 00:56:33 | Jack, I want to do a new show, a big show,
and I'm willing to split the entire thing
50/50
with erlanger, and all he has to do
is to put up the money and furnish the theaters.
|
| 00:56:43 | Oh, that's all?
|
| 00:56:45 | That's all.
|
| 00:56:48 | Of course, you'd furnish the star.
|
| 00:56:50 | anna's show is all
set.
|
| 00:56:53 | .. I want to star the girls.
|
| 00:56:58 | Oh, don't be ridiculous.
|
| 00:56:59 | Without personalities you haven't got a chance.
|
| 00:57:01 | Oh, I'll have personalities, all right,
lots of personalities.
|
| 00:57:04 | But they'll mostly be blondes and brunettes.
|
| 00:57:07 | What are you going to call this opera?
|
| 00:57:09 | I'm going to call it the ziegfeld follies.
|
| 00:57:13 | Follies. follies, all right.
|
| 00:57:15 | that's a
good title.
|
| 00:57:18 | What's so unusual about a girl show?
|
| 00:57:20 | We've got plenty on the circuit now.
|
| 00:57:21 | they're way out
of date.
|
| 00:57:23 | Why, you're using the same scenery that
you used 20 years ago,
wood wings and flats.
|
| 00:57:28 | I want to do a show with silk drapes, with
lace, with beautiful girls,
and I'm going to dress them, not for the
bald heads in the front row,
but for the women in the last row.
|
| 00:57:39 | ..
|
| 00:57:42 | Glorify them.
|
| 00:57:45 | ..there's a good word, jack.
|
| 00:57:50 | Glorify.
|
| 00:57:50 | It sounds all right if you know what it means.
|
| 00:57:53 | It'll look all right, too.
|
| 00:57:55 | "
well, where are you going to find all these
beautiful young ladies?
|
| 00:58:00 | I'll take them from homes, from stores,
..
|
| 00:58:05 | ..
|
| 00:58:06 | From offices.
|
| 00:58:06 | Miss Drake:..
|
| 00:58:08 | Mr. erlanger would like to see you now.
|
| 00:58:10 | Billings: Oh, all right.
|
| 00:58:13 | Yes, well, that'll do, miss drake.
|
| 00:58:15 | Yes, sir.
|
| 00:58:16 | she's the best
stenographer I ever had.
|
| 00:58:21 | Ha ha ha! all right, jack.
|
| 00:58:24 | Here, here.
|
| 00:58:25 | You will buzz the little giant, won't you?
|
| 00:58:26 | Oh, yes, I'll tell him about it,
but I doubt if he'll be interested.
|
| 00:58:29 | Well, he's missing a great opportunity.
|
| 00:58:32 | Billings: Yes, I know.
|
| 00:58:33 | But, well, I'll drop you a line about it.
|
| 00:58:35 | Perhaps tomorrow.
|
| 00:58:37 | Wire me, will you, jack?
|
| 00:58:38 | Well, if you'd rather hear the sad news
sooner, I'll wire.
|
| 00:58:45 | Man: What's that?
|
| 00:58:46 | They won't give us our share of the profits?
|
| 00:58:49 | All right!
|
| 00:58:50 | Open them in boston,
ship them to new orleans, and then on to
frisco.
|
| 00:58:55 | [Hangs up phone] funny thing, billings.
|
| 00:58:56 | You just can't be nice to some people.
|
| 00:58:59 | Yes, that's what I was thinking.
|
| 00:59:01 | Ziegfeld was just here.
|
| 00:59:02 | Yeah? what did he want?
|
| 00:59:03 | Well, remember when he stole anna held right
from under my nose?
|
| 00:59:07 | And then, so I couldn't get her back, he
married her,
and made enough money on her to retire?
|
| 00:59:11 | Now he comes back, broke again,
asking me to ask you for the money to put
on a new show!
|
| 00:59:16 | Well, that's nerve.
|
| 00:59:18 | Heh heh!
|
| 00:59:19 | What do you want me to do?
|
| 00:59:21 | Give him the money.
|
| 00:59:31 | Man: Tickets for eddie cantor and will rogers!
|
| 00:59:32 | $50 A pair!
|
| 00:59:35 | Tickets, boys?
|
| 00:59:47 | Man: Standing room only.

|
| 01:01:29 | No word from baines. I've only got two minutes.
|
| 01:01:31 | Are you ready to go in for those steps?
|
| 01:01:32 | I've built so many steps for ziegfeld they
go in by themselves.
|
| 01:01:36 | Ohh.
|
| 01:01:37 | What follows this number?
|
| 01:01:38 | ..
|
| 01:01:39 | Yeah, I know, greg williams.
|

now.
|
| 01:01:44 | Oh, I see. trouble again.
|
| 01:01:46 | You can't do this!

| 01:01:48 | It's an unheard-of procedure!
|
| 01:01:49 | ..
|
| 01:01:51 | I want my money.
|
| 01:01:52 | But it's preposterous! ridiculous!
|
| 01:01:54 | No money, no finale costumes.
|
| 01:01:57 | It's a holdup!
|
| 01:01:58 | ..
|
| 01:01:59 | You can't do this to mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 01:02:00 | Wait here a minute.
|
| 01:02:03 | Allen!
|
| 01:02:03 | Allen: Yes, sir.
|
| 01:02:04 | Where's mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 01:02:05 | I haven't seen him for the last 10 minutes.
|
| 01:02:06 | Run up and see if he's in the front of the
house.
|
| 01:02:08 | No, no. I'll go. yes, sir.
|
| 01:02:09 | No, no. you go. yes, sir.
|
| 01:02:11 | No, you send somebody else. yes, sir.
|
| 01:02:12 | Yes, sir. joe!
|
| 01:02:13 | the
show depends on it.
|
| 01:02:16 | Yes, sir.
|
| 01:02:17 | this
is awful.
|
| 01:02:19 | Wait here for me. you will wait?
|
| 01:02:22 | You bet I will.
|
| 01:02:34 | Yes?
|
| 01:02:35 | Hello, sam. how are y'all?
|
| 01:02:37 | Mr. rogers.
|
| 01:02:37 | what's on your
mind, sam?
|
| 01:02:41 | I was looking for mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 01:02:43 | Ah, just a minute, sam.
|
| 01:02:48 | Bill, the audiences love to hear you talk.
|
| 01:02:50 | I can't talk any more
than I do.
|
| 01:02:54 | I got to get the rope tricks in, don't i?
|
| 01:02:57 | I think they like to hear your wisecracks
better.
|
| 01:02:59 | .. but what'll
I talk about?
|
| 01:03:03 | I ain't got anything to say that's funny.
|
| 01:03:06 | ziegfeld--
wait a minute.
|
| 01:03:07 | Your wife tells me that you keep her laughing
all the time,
just about things you read in the papers.
|
| 01:03:12 | betty's been putting you
up to this, huh?
|
| 01:03:17 | ..
|
| 01:03:18 | I got sort of a habit of telling her
that all I know is what I read in the papers,
and she says that's what I ought to tell
the audience.
|
| 01:03:26 | Just sort of be kind of a running gag.
|
| 01:03:30 | She's right.
|
| 01:03:30 | Oh, sure, betty's always right.
|
| 01:03:34 | But she don't have to stand out on the stage
and catch those overripe tomatoes
if the gag don't work.
|
| 01:03:41 | Mr. ziegfeld, I must interrupt you.
|
| 01:03:44 | Yeah?
|
| 01:03:44 | The finale costumes are here.
|
| 01:03:46 | Oh, good. will you do it, bill?
|
| 01:03:49 | I might.
|
| 01:03:50 | The costumers won't leave them without the
money.
|
| 01:03:51 | Give them a check. will you do it tonight?
|
| 01:03:54 | Maybe.
|
| 01:03:54 | They want the cash.
|
| 01:03:55 | Do you mean to tell me that they sent the
?
|
| 01:03:59 | No, sir, not this show.
|
| 01:04:00 | They want some money on the last show.
|
| 01:04:03 | Reckon you kinda got your shows mixed up,
ain't you, flo?
|
| 01:04:06 | I reckon a little.
|
| 01:04:06 | If I can help you out on the costumes or
anything, why, let me know.
|
| 01:04:11 | Oh, thanks, bill, but I'm all right.
|
| 01:04:12 | Well, tell me if I can.
|
| 01:04:13 | Course, uh, I don't suppose it makes a lot
of difference,
'cause even with the costumes on, the girls
..
|
| 01:04:20 | Ain't exactly overdressed.
|
| 01:04:22 | Ha ha!
|
| 01:04:23 | You save your wisecracks for the audience.
|
| 01:04:25 | Ha ha ha!
|
| 01:04:28 | Ziegfeld: Hey, buddy! hey! yes?
|
| 01:04:31 | What's this?
|
| 01:04:32 | Your opening night, your big chance,
and you're still moving scenery?
|
| 01:04:35 | it gets
in the blood.
|
| 01:04:37 | Besides, I don't know how I'm going to go
over on the roof tonight,
and I don't want to lose one job until I'm
sure of the other.
|
| 01:04:43 | Well, don't forget, when I hired you as an
actor,
I fired you as a stagehand.
|
| 01:04:46 | you'll find yourself
without any job.
|
| 01:04:51 | Well, what seems to be the trouble?
|
| 01:04:52 | ziegfeld, except--
except he's holding us up!
|
| 01:04:56 | He refuses to leave the costumes unless he--
unless he gets some money,
and he's quite right, sampston.
|
| 01:05:01 | Let me see the costumes first.
|
| 01:05:02 | open up the
basket.
|
| 01:05:05 | ziegfeld, these dresses are
wonderful.
|
| 01:05:08 | The finest work I have ever done.
|
| 01:05:10 | Look, mr. ziegfeld, isn't it stunning?
|
| 01:05:13 | this isn't for
me.
|
| 01:05:16 | Oh, yes, mr. ziegfeld, for the finale.
|
| 01:05:20 | Notmyfinale.
|
| 01:05:22 | Mr. schultz, this is the new amsterdam theater.
|
| 01:05:26 | This isthe follies.
|
| 01:05:27 | ziegfeld, and this is the costume
for the finale.
|
| 01:05:33 | Well, not formyshow.
|
| 01:05:35 | Why, I couldn't let my girls appear in a
thing like that.
|
| 01:05:38 | That's horrible! oh, take it away.
|
| 01:05:41 | ziegfeld, they were made from the
sketches of your own designer.
|
| 01:05:44 | You yourself made the changes on the sketches
when you gave me the order.
|
| 01:05:49 | Oh, I never ordered a thing like that in
my life.
|
| 01:05:51 | That's terrible!
|
| 01:05:52 | Take it away, take it out of my theater!
|
| 01:05:54 | Schultz: ziegfeld--
I work over 3 weeks on these dresses.
|
| 01:05:57 | I have plenty of money invested in them.
|
| 01:05:59 | Well, I'm sorry, but I can't help that.
|
| 01:06:02 | What do you want to do? disgrace me?
|
| 01:06:03 | ziegfeld, but please, do not
disgraceme.
|
| 01:06:07 | ziegfeld--
please, let your girls wear my costumes tonight.
|
| 01:06:12 | No, I wouldn't humiliate you.
|
| 01:06:13 | If you are not satisfied, I will make it
up to you some other way--
but, please, do not make me take them back,
mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 01:06:20 | All right, but just this once.
|
| 01:06:21 | Send them up to the dressing rooms.
|
| 01:06:24 | You see me in my office next week.
|
| 01:06:26 | Next month.
|
| 01:06:27 | Next month.
|
| 01:06:27 | Thank you very much, mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 01:06:31 | Theyarebeautiful, aren't they?
|
| 01:06:33 | Awfully expensive.
|
| 01:06:33 | All right, girls, places for the melody number!
|
| 01:06:36 | He's singing very well tonight, mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 01:06:39 | Yes, he's all right, but there's too much
white.
|
| 01:06:42 | Merv, he's too white.
|
| 01:06:43 | Bring up the pink in your footlights.
|
| 01:06:45 | Are the steps high enough for you this time,
mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 01:06:49 | we could use more,
a lot more.
|
| 01:06:52 | I'd like to see them higher.
|
| 01:06:53 | How's that, mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 01:06:55 | Yes, that's perfect now, merv.
|
| 01:06:56 | Just keep it that way the rest of the number.

|
| 01:33:48 | Ladies and gentlemen,
on behalf--onbehalf of the rest of the company,
I've been asked to make a little speech.
|
| 01:33:57 | [Giggles]
well, you see, I have a confession to make.
|
| 01:34:02 | Little audrey is a wee bit tight tonight.
|
| 01:34:05 | [Audience laughing]
..
|
| 01:34:07 | You really shouldn't applaud all of us
because everything we've done we owe to flo.
|
| 01:34:15 | You see, I was just a little chorus girl
when flo discovered me.
|
| 01:34:19 | He taught me how to walk and how to dress,
and how to smile.
|
| 01:34:26 | ..
|
| 01:34:28 | ..
|
| 01:34:29 | ..flo.
|
| 01:34:32 | [Audience applauding]
I am afraid you must forgive miss lane tonight.
|
| 01:34:51 | She just passed through many weeks
of very tedious rehearsals.
|
| 01:34:56 | And the nervous strain of opening night--
she's not really herself.
|
| 01:35:00 | [Applause]
on behalf of the rest of my company,
I want to thank you.
|
| 01:35:07 | You've been very kind to my girls and my
stars.
|
| 01:35:11 | Speaking of stars,
there's a young lady here tonight who--
in my opinion-- is destined to reach the
top of her profession.
|
| 01:35:18 | She doesn't work for me, I'm sorry to say,
but I'm very proud of her.
|
| 01:35:23 | She's here tonight with her producer--lucky
fellow--
and if she will,
I'm going to ask sally manners to take a
bow.
|
| 01:35:31 | Sally manners.
|
| 01:35:32 | [Applause]
darned nice of him to pay my star a tribute
like that, isn't it?
|
| 01:35:43 | I hope you've got her on a long
contract. ha ha ha!
|
| 01:35:48 | Are you ready, mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 01:35:49 | I'm ready.
|
| 01:35:50 | Now, you be signing the contract
but look in the camera at the same time.
|
| 01:35:53 | The picture wouldn't be right without the
manners smile.
|
| 01:35:56 | All right?
|
| 01:35:57 | All right, shoot!
|
| 01:36:01 | Those things horrify me.
|
| 01:36:02 | Well, sally, I think we're both to be congratulated.
|
| 01:36:04 | Oh, I feel it's a great opportunity.
|
| 01:36:07 | Thank you.
|
| 01:36:08 | Sage, if you'll take miss manners
and the boys into your office,
I'm sure she'll have some very interesting
things to say to them.
|
| 01:36:13 | I can tell them how happy I am right now.
|
| 01:36:16 | May I congratulate you?
|
| 01:36:17 | Thank you.
|
| 01:36:18 | right this
way.
|
| 01:36:21 | [Men talking]
where is that girl you said was a friend
of mine?
|
| 01:36:34 | Woman: Here I am.
|
| 01:36:35 | I--i didn't want to disturb you.
|
| 01:36:41 | You, uh, told them out there that you were
a friend of mine, huh?
|
| 01:36:45 | Yes, I did.
|
| 01:36:48 | Well, I see.
|
| 01:36:48 | Just to get into my office, huh? smart girl.
|
| 01:36:52 | have you forgotten
me?
|
| 01:36:57 | Oh! ha ha! no, no. of course not.
|
| 01:37:01 | I, uh, I remember you very well.
|
| 01:37:05 | Who am i?
|
| 01:37:07 | Ha ha! as if I didn't know.
|
| 01:37:08 | Do you?
|
| 01:37:09 | Of course.
|
| 01:37:10 | I always remember the time, the place, and
the girl.
|
| 01:37:14 | .. atlantic city.
|
| 01:37:17 | Nope. no?
|
| 01:37:18 | No.
|
| 01:37:19 | Well, that's funny.
|
| 01:37:20 | I seem to remember a chair on the boardwalk,
..
|
| 01:37:25 | Are you sure it wasn't atlantic city?
|
| 01:37:27 | It might have been atlantic city, but it
wasn't me.
|
| 01:37:31 | ..
|
| 01:37:34 | Oh! now I remember.
|
| 01:37:37 | Why, it was right here in this office.
|
| 01:37:39 | You came up to see me about a year ago.
|
| 01:37:41 | Oh, now it all comes back to me.
|
| 01:37:43 | Well, how are you? where have you been?
|
| 01:37:45 | No. no?
|
| 01:37:46 | you don't seem to remember
the time, the place, or the girl.
|
| 01:37:52 | ..
|
| 01:37:53 | Perhaps this will help you.
|
| 01:37:58 | [Plays childhood melody]
mary lou!
|
| 01:38:08 | Well, how's my girl?
|
| 01:38:13 | How's my fella?
|
| 01:38:13 | well, my little mary lou is a big
girl now, isn't she?
|
| 01:38:18 | Yes!
|
| 01:38:20 | Yes, indeed, a very big girl.
|
| 01:38:25 | Aren't you glad to see me?
|
| 01:38:26 | Yes, I certainly am.
|
| 01:38:28 | Even if I wasn't in atlantic city with you?
|
| 01:38:31 | ..don't be silly.
|
| 01:38:33 | I-i-i knew you all the time.
|
| 01:38:36 | ..
|
| 01:38:37 | Ha ha ha!
|
| 01:38:38 | Well, how long you been in new york?
|
| 01:38:41 | One day.
|
| 01:38:42 | One day. have you seen my father lately?
|
| 01:38:43 | oh, that reminds
me,
he told me to give you a big kiss.
|
| 01:38:48 | ..well...
|
| 01:38:51 | You know, I think that in all fairness,
I should tell you that I am a married man
now.
|
| 01:38:57 | Yes, I know. I read about it.
|
| 01:39:00 | It nearly broke my heart.
|
| 01:39:01 | But being married in new york doesn't mean
anything, does it?
|
| 01:39:06 | Oh, ha ha! yes, it does, young lady.
|
| 01:39:09 | Now, why are you here, and what can I do
for you?
|
| 01:39:13 | First of all, I want to give you a big kiss
for all the candy you sent me.
|
| 01:39:17 | Well, you've already done that twice.
|
| 01:39:20 | Ha ha. now, what else?
|
| 01:39:21 | Well, I want to go into the follies.
|
| 01:39:23 | You do?
|
| 01:39:24 | I've been taking dancing lessons
for two years.
|
| 01:39:26 | how do your father and mother feel
about it?
|
| 01:39:29 | I haven't a father and mother anymore.
|
| 01:39:31 | Aw, I'm so sorry, my dear.
|
| 01:39:34 | Of course, jimmy won't like it.
|
| 01:39:37 | Who's jimmy?
|
| 01:39:38 | He's just another fellow I've been engaged
to.
|
| 01:39:41 | ..
|
| 01:39:42 | All right, I think we can look after you.
|
| 01:39:44 | Do you think we can have dinner together
tonight?
|
| 01:39:47 | Well, no, no. I'm afraid we can't.
|
| 01:39:51 | [Knock at door]
oh, alice.
|
| 01:39:54 | Yes, sir.
|
| 01:39:55 | I want you to take this young lady down to
the stage
and tell julian that he's to put her on
as an extra dancer.
|
| 01:40:01 | Oh, gee, thank you!
|
| 01:40:02 | Uh, mary lou is an old friend of mine from
chicago,
and she's a stranger here,
so I'd like you to sort of look after her.
|
| 01:40:10 | Yes, sir.
|
| 01:40:11 | This way, dear.
|
| 01:40:12 | Oh, may I say one thing before I go?
|
| 01:40:15 | Yes, of course. what?
|
| 01:40:15 | I forgive you for not marrying me.
|
| 01:40:17 | Ha ha ha! all right. good-bye, dear.
|
| 01:40:21 | Good-bye.
|
| 01:40:24 | Hello, pardon me.
|
| 01:40:24 | Hello, alice. hey, flo!
|
| 01:40:27 | I know--you've got a new song.
|
| 01:40:28 | I'll say we have. play him the melody, danny.
|
| 01:40:31 | Oh, you'll go crazy over this, flo.
|
| 01:40:35 | [Plays tune]
mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 01:40:37 | I must interrupt you.
|
| 01:40:38 | This is important. I've got an idea.
|
| 01:40:42 | How much will it save?
|
| 01:40:43 | This has nothing to do with money.
|
| 01:40:45 | You feeling all right, sam?
|
| 01:40:45 | Well, I have my usual headache, but this
is about talent.
|
| 01:40:48 | Something good and cheap, no doubt?
|
| 01:40:49 | it's a young lady of the name of
brice. fannie. fannie brice.
|
| 01:40:53 | She's working in burlesque.
|
| 01:40:54 | Say, I've seen that gal, flo.
|
| 01:40:57 | Pretty?
|
| 01:40:57 | Well, yes and no.
|
| 01:40:58 | Shut your eyes and listen--yes.
|
| 01:41:00 | Open them and look--no.
|
| 01:41:01 | But a great performer.
|
| 01:41:02 | We should see her at once, tonight.

listen, baby, that guy's gonna be a big star
someday.
|
| 01:43:54 | He can make you laugh, and he can make you
cry.
|
| 01:43:56 | Yeah, and he can make me sick.
|
| 01:43:58 | Comics bore me.
|
| 01:43:59 | Yeah, and you give me a pain in the neck,
too,
always telling me who's gonna be a great
star.
|
| 01:44:05 | Once in burlesque, always in burlesque.
|
| 01:44:07 | Unless you got looks or a voice or something.
|
| 01:44:10 | Well, that's what I got, kid.
|
| 01:44:13 | What? something.
|
| 01:44:14 | Fannie, on the level,
you don't ever hope to get our of burlesque,
do you?
|
| 01:44:18 | You're good here because these people are
from tenth avenue.
|
| 01:44:20 | How good do you think you'd be on fifth avenue?
|
| 01:44:23 | Ha ha! half as good.
|
| 01:44:24 | Another silk stocking gone.
|
| 01:44:26 | Believe me, I'll never buy anything
from those stage-door peddlers again.
|
| 01:44:29 | Well, that's what you said before.
|
| 01:44:31 | What'd you let the fella in for? here.
|
| 01:44:33 | He told the stage doorman his name was valasco.
|
| 01:44:36 | valasco, the
producer.
|
| 01:44:40 | Uh-huh.
|
| 01:44:41 | Calling personally to see you?
|
| 01:44:42 | Well, maybe I was a little optimistic.
|
| 01:44:44 | Miss brice, mr. ziegfeld is here to see you.
|
| 01:44:47 | Another peddler.
|
| 01:44:49 | First it's valasco, now it's ziegfeld.
|
| 01:44:52 | ziegfeld I'm not in,
and if I was in, tell him I wouldn't see
him.
|
| 01:44:57 | And if I did see him, tell him I wouldn't
buy a thing.
|
| 01:45:02 | Yes, miss.
|
| 01:45:03 | Thank you.
|
| 01:45:04 | Miss brice?
|
| 01:45:04 | I hope I'm not intruding.
|
| 01:45:08 | I'm florenz ziegfeld.
|
| 01:45:10 | Is that so?
|
| 01:45:11 | Sarah, this is mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 01:45:13 | Mr. ziegfeld, this is sarah bernhardt.
|
| 01:45:16 | Notthesarah bernhardt?
|
| 01:45:18 | Mm-hmm.
|
| 01:45:19 | Well, certainly is a pleasure to run into
you.
|
| 01:45:22 | Say, if you run into your friend valasco,
tell him about the runs in his stockings.
|
| 01:45:26 | Oh, do you know david valasco?
|
| 01:45:28 | Better than you know ziegfeld.
|
| 01:45:30 | Well, come on, what do you want for it?
|
| 01:45:33 | I'm not interested.
|
| 01:45:34 | Miss brice, I am really here
to offer you a great opportunity.
|
| 01:45:38 | That's what they all say.
|
| 01:45:40 | Uh, what kind of fur is this?
|
| 01:45:43 | This? that's mink.
|
| 01:45:46 | Is that so?
|
| 01:45:47 | And what's the price?
|
| 01:45:49 | Well, the original cost was $2,700.
|
| 01:45:53 | Who cares from originals!
|
| 01:45:54 | Copies is just as good.
|
| 01:45:56 | Come on, I'll try it on.
|
| 01:45:58 | Yes, of course.
|
| 01:45:59 | As a matter of fact, it ought to fit you
very well.
|
| 01:46:02 | Don't give me the sales talk.
|
| 01:46:05 | Just tell me the price.
|
| 01:46:06 | I don't want to buy it,
but I'll give you $50 for it
and not a cent more.
|
| 01:46:11 | Miss brice, the coat is yours.
|
| 01:46:14 | Stuck again.
|
| 01:46:14 | Fannie! are you really gonna buy it?
|
| 01:46:16 | If I can 0 for silk stogs made of cotton,
I can give ziegfeld a little more
for a mink coat made of skunk.
|
| 01:46:26 | Besides, a bargain's a bargain.
|
| 01:46:28 | Here. here's your $40.
|
| 01:46:30 | Get out before I change my mind.
|
| 01:46:32 | Thank you.
|
| 01:46:37 | Ha ha!
|
| 01:46:41 | Fannie!
|
| 01:46:44 | Fannie!
|
| 01:46:45 | What?
|
| 01:46:46 | Fannie, look!
|
| 01:46:46 | What? moths already?
|
| 01:46:49 | No! feel! it's real mink.
|
| 01:46:50 | How do you know? did you ever have one?
|
| 01:46:52 | No, but I've been promised one often enough
to tell.
|
| 01:46:55 | It's real mink, all right.
|
| 01:46:56 | It's probably stolen goods.
|
| 01:46:58 | You mean it's hot?
|
| 01:47:00 | Of course it's warm.
|
| 01:47:02 | And I'll be arrested if I keep it?
|
| 01:47:04 | Of course you will.
|
| 01:47:06 | Call the stage manager!

| 01:48:57 | How do you expect miss brice
to sing a sad song about her man
dressed up like a nightingale?
|
| 01:49:02 | I find personalities, you try to destroy
them.
|
| 01:49:04 | I didn't engage miss brice as a showgirl.
|
| 01:49:07 | Is that all right, mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 01:49:09 | Well, that's all right for now.
|
| 01:49:11 | Tomorrow, get her another outfit.
|
| 01:49:13 | And don't make it. buy it.
|
| 01:49:14 | Go to a second-hand store and get her an
old dress
she's supposed to be an apache, a poor french
girl, an urchin.
|
| 01:49:21 | So, to work for ziegfeld, I got to be an
urchin.
|
| 01:49:25 | Even in burlesque, I was middle class.
|
| 01:49:28 | Now, let me see this, fannie.
|
| 01:49:36 | Fannie, sing the song.
|
| 01:49:39 | Now.
|
| 01:49:40 | Vic? all right. let's go.

| 01:53:55 | ziegfeld, these gentlemen have been pestering
me
about money for your scenery, your costumes,
and whatnot.
|
| 01:54:01 | And I want to tell you in their presence,
that I have no interest in this show
and in no way am I concerned with it.
|
| 01:54:08 | Our agreement is for ziegfeld follies
and nothing else.
|
| 01:54:13 | You understand that, gentlemen?
|
| 01:54:15 | Nothing else.
|
| 01:54:15 | ziegfeld, this is all very unpleasant
at a dress rehearsal,
but we must insist on at least 50% of our
money
before the opening.
|
| 01:54:23 | We are selling a lot of tickets.
|
| 01:54:24 | It's no use, sampston. that's our best proposition.
|
| 01:54:27 | Mr. ziegfeld, we're all ready for the finale.
|
| 01:54:30 | All right, benny, let it go.
|
| 01:54:32 | Boys, what are you worried about?
|
| 01:54:33 | Have I ever started anything that I couldn't
finish?
|
| 01:54:35 | Don't my curtains always go up?
|
| 01:54:37 | Why, if I owed you 100 times the amount
I do, you'd get it.
|
| 01:54:40 | I'll
pay you.
|
| 01:54:43 | 50%, Mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 01:54:45 | 100% If you want it.
|
| 01:54:45 | Maybe I can even advance you a little something
on the eddie cantor show.
|
| 01:54:49 | I'm going to do a story with him, too, you
know.
|
| 01:54:52 | Eddie cantor?
|
| 01:54:53 | Mmm.
|
| 01:54:55 | How are you going to do it?

| 01:59:07 | little audrey is speaking out of turn
again.
|

| 02:05:15 | Tell you what?
|
| 02:05:17 | Your name.

| 02:05:17 | Why don't you ask mr. billings?
|
| 02:05:19 | I will if I can find him.
|
| 02:05:21 | But you seem to stand in with the whistle.
|
| 02:05:23 | Oh, yes, you see, when I was a little boy,
I used to love to whistle,
and a whistle never forgets.

aren't you getting bored?
|
| 02:05:39 | No. are you?
|
| 02:05:41 | I'm afraid not.
|
| 02:05:42 | Tired?
|
| 02:05:43 | Are you?
|
| 02:05:44 | No, but I'd much rather just talk.
|
| 02:05:47 | Would you mind?
|
| 02:05:49 | No.
|
| 02:05:49 | [Whistle blows]
don't you love the lights of new york?
|
| 02:05:59 | To me, they're more beautiful than any landscape.
|
| 02:06:01 | More beautiful than the mountains in the
west?
|
| 02:06:04 | Yes, I think so.
|
| 02:06:06 | Are you too cold out here?
|
| 02:06:08 | Oh, no, indeed. I'm enjoying it.
|
| 02:06:11 | ..that is, uh...
|
| 02:06:12 | I mean, the electric signs fascinate me.
|
| 02:06:15 | "Wrigley's chewing gum,
"fleischmann's yeast,
do you know ziegfeld?
|
| 02:06:24 | No. I don't want to.
|
| 02:06:26 | I understand he's a horrible person.
|
| 02:06:29 | Horrible?
|
| 02:06:29 | Yes, they say he's a terrible lady's man.
|
| 02:06:32 | Well, I suppose that's forgivable.
|
| 02:06:33 | Because he's surrounded by so many beautiful
women.
|
| 02:06:36 | Yes, yes. strange you've never met him.
|
| 02:06:40 | I don't want to.
|
| 02:06:41 | I love his shows.
|
| 02:06:42 | They're so beautiful and in such good taste.
|
| 02:06:44 | It would disappoint me terribly
to meet him and find him to be a fat, pudgy
man with a big stomach.
|
| 02:06:49 | .. and not really so pudgy.
|
| 02:06:54 | Oh, you know him?
|
| 02:06:55 | Oh, yes. yes. he would like you.
|
| 02:06:58 | How do you know?
|
| 02:06:59 | Didn't you just say he had good taste?
|
| 02:07:00 | .. you're sort of a lady's man
yourself, aren't you?
|
| 02:07:05 | I think with you as the lady,
I could make ziegfeld look like an amateur.
|
| 02:07:09 | Oh, you haven't told me your name yet.
|
| 02:07:12 | I've been looking-- if you don't mind, mr.
|
| 02:07:13 | Ziegfeld,
miss burke, with the special permission of
frohman,
came to this affair with me tonight.
|
| 02:07:19 | And if you've no objection, I'd like to have
one dance with the lady.
|
| 02:07:23 | Mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 02:07:23 | Well, you were right. he isn't pudgy.
|
| 02:07:26 | Shall we go in?
|
| 02:07:27 | Yes!
|
| 02:07:28 | Ah, don't I get one more dance?
|
| 02:07:29 | I'm afraid not.

| 02:07:30 | frohman you're really
afraid of, isn't it?
|
| 02:07:34 | Oh, I'm--
perhaps.
|
| 02:07:36 | He doesn't want you to appear too much socially.
|
| 02:07:39 | Frankly, no, he doesn't.
|
| 02:07:39 | And you don't like me very well anyway, do
you?
|
| 02:07:43 | Frankly, no, I don't .
|
| 02:07:45 | No. ha ha ha! she doesn't!
|
| 02:07:48 | [Laughing]
you put him in his place, all right.
|
| 02:07:59 | I wonder what general grant would think if
he knew
we were using the very shadow of his tomb
as our meeting place.
|
| 02:08:06 | Well, I never knew the general personally,
but I have an idea he'd approve.
|
| 02:08:11 | I don't know. nobody else seems to.
|
| 02:08:14 | At least, mr. frohman doesn't.
|
| 02:08:16 | And why not?
|
| 02:08:17 | go where
we want?
|
| 02:08:20 | Just because he has you under contract
is no reason why he should dictate your personal
life, do you think?
|
| 02:08:26 | I'm here.
|
| 02:08:27 | Yes, and so am i.
|
| 02:08:28 | But it must seem like kindergarten to you.
|
| 02:08:32 | Why?
|
| 02:08:32 | ziegfeld, producer of the follies,
surrounded by hundreds of beautiful women,
sitting on a bench, holding hands,
watching the riverboats go back and forth.
|
| 02:08:44 | Doesn't sound a bit like you, does it?
|
| 02:08:47 | No, it doesn't.
|
| 02:08:48 | But here I am, sitting on a bench,
holding hands and watching the riverboats
go back and forth.
|
| 02:08:55 | And regretting all the years I haven't known
you.
|
| 02:08:58 | Didn't anna held take up a few of those years?
|
| 02:09:03 | Yes, billie, she did.
|
| 02:09:04 | She was truly a wonderful woman.
|
| 02:09:07 | I love you for saying that.
|
| 02:09:12 | Look, there's another ferry boat going across
to the palisades.
|
| 02:09:17 | Hmm.
|
| 02:09:18 | Will you keep your eyes on it while I tell
you something?
|
| 02:09:21 | Must I look at a ferry boat to listen to
you?
|
| 02:09:24 | Yes, or I won't be able to tell you.
|
| 02:09:28 | You mean the great lady's man is bashful?
|
| 02:09:31 | Strange as it may seem, in your presence,
he is.
|
| 02:09:37 | All right, I'm looking.
|
| 02:09:41 | I love you, billie.
|
| 02:09:43 | The ferry boat.
|
| 02:09:45 | I haven't anything to offer you.
|
| 02:09:48 | Because there's nothing that you really seem
to need.
|
| 02:09:50 | You've made the most of yourself unassisted.
|
| 02:09:53 | And that's grand.
|
| 02:09:55 | Ferry boat.
|
| 02:09:58 | You're a great star already,
so there's little I can offer you.
|
| 02:10:03 | Nothing I can give you, except my love.
|
| 02:10:12 | That isn't enough.
|
| 02:10:13 | I'd expect part of your ambition,
half of your trouble,
2/3 of your worries,
and all of your respect.
|
| 02:10:51 | Here's your medicine, madame.
|
| 02:10:53 | No, thank you, marie. I'm tired of it.
|
| 02:10:57 | ..
|
| 02:10:59 | No, no, no, no.
|
| 02:11:01 | Perhaps you would like to go to paris for
a while now?
|
| 02:11:04 | ..
|
| 02:11:07 | And to do anything.
|
| 02:11:12 | ..
|
| 02:11:17 | ..
|
| 02:11:18 | And tell me where did they go on their honeymoon?
|
| 02:11:23 | But they couldn't go anywhere, madame.
|
| 02:11:25 | Miss burke is appearing in a play here.
|
| 02:11:28 | We saw her only two weeks ago.
|
| 02:11:30 | You insisted, madame. you remember.
|
| 02:11:32 | and we enjoyed it very much,
too.
|
| 02:11:36 | She's a lovely actress, mary,oui?
|
| 02:11:40 | Oui,madame.
|
| 02:11:41 | She has such twinkling eyes,
and such a funny little twitter when she
speaks.
|
| 02:11:51 | Yes, I can well imagine flo being in love
with her.
|
| 02:12:00 | Marie?
|
| 02:12:02 | Oui,madame?
|
| 02:12:02 | Call his office. I will congratulate him.
|
| 02:12:06 | Oui,madame.
|
| 02:12:10 | Hello?
|
| 02:12:11 | Brian 3093, please.
|
| 02:12:13 | I should wish him luck,oui?
|
| 02:12:16 | Oui,madame.
|
| 02:12:17 | Oui,i should.
|
| 02:12:18 | Mr. ziegfeld, please.
|
| 02:12:20 | Miss anna held speaking.
|
| 02:12:21 | No, mary. hang up!
|
| 02:12:23 | i--
mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 02:12:27 | He's on the telephone, madame.
|
| 02:12:30 | He is?
|
| 02:12:41 | Hello, flo.
|
| 02:12:44 | Yes, here's anna.
|
| 02:12:47 | I'm so happy for you today.
|
| 02:12:49 | I could not help but call on you and congratulate
you.
|
| 02:12:56 | never better in my whole
life.
|
| 02:12:59 | I'm going
to paris.
|
| 02:13:04 | Yes, for a few weeks, and then I can get
back,
and then I'm doing a new show, and i--
oh,oui,it's all so wonderful.
|
| 02:13:13 | I'm so happy.
|
| 02:13:15 | Yes, and I hope you are happy, too.
|
| 02:13:20 | Yes?
|
| 02:13:22 | Oh, I'm so glad for you, flo.
|
| 02:13:28 | It sounds funny for ex-husband and ex-wife
to tell each other how happy they are, oui?
|
| 02:13:36 | Yes, flo.
|
| 02:13:41 | Good-bye, flo.
|
| 02:13:45 | Good-bye.
|
| 02:13:55 | [Sobbing]
mon pauvre petit.
|
| 02:14:03 | If you love him so much, why did you divorce
him?
|
| 02:14:10 | Because I thought it would bring him back
to me.
|
| 02:14:14 | I was sure that it would bring him back to
me.
|
| 02:14:27 | Oh, yippee!
|
| 02:14:32 | Oh, goody, goody, goody!
|
| 02:14:34 | Is that all for me?
|
| 02:14:36 | That certainly is, every bit for you.
|
| 02:14:39 | Oh, and that isn't all. sidney? ahem.
|
| 02:14:42 | Yes, sir?
|
| 02:14:42 | Now, if you don't like the view from this
side,
then--
Girl: I don't.
|
| 02:14:47 | [Laughing]
that's the chimney santa came down.
|
| 02:14:50 | Yes!
|
| 02:14:50 | And that's the roof where the reindeer stopped.
|
| 02:14:53 | I wonder how they kept from sliding
off.
|
| 02:14:55 | Probably the bricks stopped them.
|
| 02:14:57 | Ha ha!
|
| 02:14:58 | See, mommy, it's almost big enough for me
to get in.
|
| 02:15:01 | It is!
|
| 02:15:02 | It's almost big enough for us all to get
in.
|
| 02:15:04 | ..
|
| 02:15:06 | Yes, sir?
|
| 02:15:06 | Hasn't santa claus brought the elephant yet?
|
| 02:15:09 | ..she, uh...
|
| 02:15:12 | It may be here at any moment, sir.
|
| 02:15:14 | Flo, you didn't buy an elephant?
|
| 02:15:16 | Well, I most certainly did.
|
| 02:15:17 | A live elephant, daddy?
|
| 02:15:18 | A great, big live elephant.
|
| 02:15:20 | I beg your pardon, sir, madame,
in behalf of the help, and as their spokesman,
I wish to express our thanks for your thoughtfulness
and generosity
and to wish you both a very merry christmas.
|
| 02:15:34 | Thank you, sidney.
|
| 02:15:34 | Oh, that's very nice of you, sidney.
|
| 02:15:36 | And may we wish a very merry christmas to
all of you.
|
| 02:15:39 | All: Thank you, sir. thank you, madame.
|
| 02:15:41 | Merry christmas.
|
| 02:15:42 | And to you, miss patricia.
|
| 02:15:47 | Same to you, sidney.
|
| 02:15:48 | Now, how about opening your presents?
|
| 02:15:50 | Oh, flo, with all this extravagance, I'm
a little afraid to.
|
| 02:15:53 | that's what christmas
is for.
|
| 02:15:57 | Come on, now.
|
| 02:16:00 | Oh, flo.
|
| 02:16:00 | This isn't all for me?
|
| 02:16:04 | Well, who else?
|
| 02:16:05 | [Snickers]
well, I don't know which one to open first.
|
| 02:16:09 | Well, suppose you try this one.
|
| 02:16:13 | Oh, flo!
|
| 02:16:15 | A crown of diamonds!
|
| 02:16:18 | How beautiful!
|
| 02:16:24 | Because you are the queen,
and queens always wear crowns.
|
| 02:16:30 | [Laughing]
a bracelet for the regal wrist.
|
| 02:16:35 | A pendant for the royal throat.
|
| 02:16:38 | ..
|
| 02:16:39 | Flo!
|
| 02:16:41 | A cloak for her majesty's shoulders.
|
| 02:16:45 | Darling!
|
| 02:16:46 | ..
|
| 02:16:47 | Oh, no, flo! nothing else!
|
| 02:16:49 | Yes.
|
| 02:16:50 | A kiss from her most humble subject.
|
| 02:16:55 | Darling!
|
| 02:16:57 | Oh, everything's so lovely.
|
| 02:17:00 | But you shouldn't have done so much.
|
| 02:17:03 | Oh, well i--
..
|
| 02:17:05 | I-i hadn't anything to do with it.
|
| 02:17:06 | It was santa claus. he brought everything.
|
| 02:17:09 | but santa claus was far too
extravagant.
|
| 02:17:14 | ..
|
| 02:17:14 | I think you should take some of it back.
|
| 02:17:15 | Oh, mama, I don't want santa claus to take
back any of my presents.
|
| 02:17:20 | Don't worry, darling. he won't.
|
| 02:17:22 | No, and he won't take back any of your mama's
either.
|
| 02:17:25 | I'd cry if he took my circus back.
|
| 02:17:28 | You would?
|
| 02:17:29 | Why, darling?
|
| 02:17:30 | Do you like it better than your other presents?
|
| 02:17:32 | Mm-hmm. but I wish it was a real, live circus.
|
| 02:17:34 | Well, I guess you'll have to do a circus,
flo.
|
| 02:17:37 | Could you, daddy?
|
| 02:17:38 | Well, I don't know. let's see.
|
| 02:17:40 | I've never had any experience with circuses,
but I can try.
|
| 02:17:44 | let's make a chorus
in front of these two wagons, hmm?
|
| 02:17:48 | Who's this fellow? oh! that's the ringmaster.
|
| 02:17:50 | He's right in the center that's where ringmasters
should be.
|
| 02:17:53 | Now, we'll put these two acrobats up next
to him,
and then we'll put this little tyrolean
fellow there.
|
| 02:17:59 | And then we'll put the clown next to him.
|
| 02:18:01 | That clown, he's a funny fellow.
|
| 02:18:03 | And there's the lion tamer.
|
| 02:18:04 | Gosh, I bet he's a brave fellow, too. hmm?
|
| 02:18:06 | And there's the drum major.
|
| 02:18:08 | And here is the strongman.
|
| 02:18:10 | We'll call him sandow, hmm?
|
| 02:18:13 | And who is this?
|
| 02:18:14 | .. oh! of course.
|
| 02:18:16 | That's little harriett hoctor.
|
| 02:18:18 | Now, I've always wanted to give her a chance.
|
| 02:18:20 | now, you hold her for
a minute,
and we'll bring her on later, hmm?
|
| 02:18:24 | Now, let's put it all back of a curtain,
just as I do in the theater.
|
| 02:18:30 | Now, this is the curtain.

what's the laugh, jack?
|
| 02:27:27 | it says he's not
only broke,
but he can't borrow a nickel in any of the
banks.
|
| 02:27:32 | He wouldn't have to borrow if he'd commercialize
the shows,
but they could never get him to send out
a number two or 3 company.
|
| 02:27:37 | He wanted the public to see only his best
production.
|
| 02:27:40 | Why doesn't he stick to his follies?
|
| 02:27:43 | That other show is terrible.
|
| 02:27:44 | he's been
slipping for years.
|
| 02:27:47 | White and carroll have got it all over him.
|
| 02:27:50 | let me have a cold towel, will
you?
|
| 02:27:54 | Well, the guy's getting old.
|
| 02:27:55 | he won't have another hit
on broadway.
|
| 02:27:58 | Isn't somebody building another theater for
him on sixth avenue?
|
| 02:28:02 | Yeah. it's to be his monument.
|
| 02:28:03 | It's about time. he could use a monument.
|
| 02:28:07 | [Chuckling]
I don't know you fellas.
|
| 02:28:09 | You got nothing on me. I don't knowyou.
|
| 02:28:11 | you've been burying me for
5 minutes. I'm ziegfeld.
|
| 02:28:15 | I'm not going to have
another hit on broadway.
|
| 02:28:19 | you get
that? 4!
|
| 02:28:24 | And all hits.
|
| 02:28:27 | Barber: Oh, mr. ziegfeld!
|
| 02:28:30 | You forgot your tie.
|
| 02:28:31 | He's gonna have 4 hits, and he hasn't got
a tie left.
|
| 02:28:35 | [Laughing]
flo.
|
| 02:28:43 | Darling.
|
| 02:28:46 | Why did you come upstairs without saying
hello?
|
| 02:28:49 | Are you trying to elude me?
|
| 02:28:51 | No. I'm not feeling very well, dear.
|
| 02:28:54 | Oh. poor darling.
|
| 02:28:56 | You're just tired.
|
| 02:28:58 | Where's your tie?
|
| 02:29:01 | Hmm?
|
| 02:29:03 | i--
I must've left it in the barbershop this
afternoon.
|
| 02:29:09 | And you've been around without it ever since?
|
| 02:29:13 | Darling, that isn't like you.
|
| 02:29:16 | What's wrong, flo?
|
| 02:29:20 | Billie, I'm all through.
|
| 02:29:22 | Through with what?
|
| 02:29:23 | ..
|
| 02:29:26 | Getting old.
|
| 02:29:28 | And who told you that?
|
| 02:29:30 | 3 Men in the barbershop.
|
| 02:29:31 | Oh. that's why you forgot your tie.
|
| 02:29:33 | Yes, and I've never done anything like that
before in my whole life.
|
| 02:29:38 | Isn't that tragic.
|
| 02:29:39 | For the first time in your long career,
you forgot a tie.
|
| 02:29:43 | It's a calamity.
|
| 02:29:49 | Who were those men, flo?
|
| 02:29:51 | I don't know. I never saw them before.
|
| 02:29:54 | They said I'd never produce another hit.
|
| 02:29:58 | And what didyousay?
|
| 02:30:00 | I told them I'd have 4 on broadway at the
same time.
|
| 02:30:04 | Sounds more like you.
|
| 02:30:06 | Yes. but it was only a bluff.
|
| 02:30:10 | I'm sorry, dear. I don't mean to worry you.
|
| 02:30:15 | Where's patricia?
|
| 02:30:17 | She's having her dinner.
|
| 02:30:19 | You came home very late, dear.
|
| 02:30:22 | ..
|
| 02:30:25 | I've been so worried.
|
| 02:30:27 | The play is such a terrible failure.
|
| 02:30:31 | Butyou'renot, darling.
|
| 02:30:33 | I'm afraid I am.
|
| 02:30:37 | Well, shall we have some dinner?
|
| 02:30:40 | Flo, I'm disappointed in you.
|
| 02:30:42 | I didn't think you'd ever lose confidence
in yourself.
|
| 02:30:46 | ..i must be the failure, not you.
|
| 02:30:49 | Oh, billie.
|
| 02:30:50 | No, I mean it, darling.
|
| 02:30:52 | Before we were married, you never thought
of failure,
even when you were broke.
|
| 02:30:58 | It was your sublime superiority more than
anything else
that made me admire you so much.
|
| 02:31:04 | Please don't change, flo.
|
| 02:31:05 | Don't let patricia and me become a worry
to you.
|
| 02:31:09 | We don't expect you to reduce your life
to just us.
|
| 02:31:12 | I want you to go right on being just as you
always were.
|
| 02:31:18 | I would never be jealous,
you could never be cheap or common.
|
| 02:31:25 | So, in whatever you do,
you need never fear me.
|
| 02:31:30 | And what is more important,
don't be afraid of yourself.
|
| 02:31:40 | I'm not going to be afraid, billie.
|
| 02:31:43 | I'll give you a chance
to prove it.
|
| 02:31:47 | In my vault, I have all the jewelry you've
ever given me,
..
|
| 02:31:53 | And some very good bonds.
|
| 02:31:55 | They're all yours, on one condition--
that you keep your promise to those 3 men
and have 4 hits on broadway.
|
| 02:32:04 | Is that a bargain?
|
| 02:32:06 | Oh, billie.

| 02:32:55 | mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 02:32:57 | Just--just a minute.
|
| 02:32:58 | ziegfeld, it's inspector doyle of the
police department.
|
| 02:33:01 | He says it's important.
|
| 02:33:03 | Why didn't you say so? send him in.
|
| 02:33:06 | All right.
|
| 02:33:09 | All right, mr. doyle.
|
| 02:33:13 | Hello, mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 02:33:16 | Hello, inspector.
|
| 02:33:17 | Well, we got them, all right.
|
| 02:33:19 | You did? that's wonderful.
|
| 02:33:23 | Where are they?
|
| 02:33:24 | Right outside.
|
| 02:33:25 | Bring them in.
|
| 02:33:27 | All right, sir.
|
| 02:33:29 | Doyle: Bring those birds in here.
|
| 02:33:32 | [Speaking softly together]
Doyle: Come on, pick it up. here they are.
|
| 02:33:36 | What's the meaning of this?
|
| 02:33:38 | Pipe down, pipe down.
|
| 02:33:38 | ziegfeld, what's the charge against these
men?
|
| 02:33:42 | Murder.
|
| 02:33:43 | All:!
|
| 02:33:44 | Ziegfeld: Yes, murder.
|
| 02:33:45 | About a year ago, these 3 gentlemen killed
me and buried me.
|
| 02:33:50 | Killed? buried?
|
| 02:33:51 | Yes. in a times square barbershop. remember?
|
| 02:33:55 | Oh, yes, I remember. don't you?
|
| 02:33:56 | Now, I'm going to give each of you a box
to all 4 of my shows.
|
| 02:34:02 | 4 Hits, all in one season.
|
| 02:34:03 | And then I want you to tell me whether or
not you still think I'm washed up.
|
| 02:34:08 | I'm sorry, gentlemen, but this is the only
way I could locate you.
|
| 02:34:12 | I knew that if you were to be found at all,
inspector doyle here was the one to do it.
|
| 02:34:16 | Sam, would you have goldie take their names
and make their reservations for whatever
nights they wish.
|
| 02:34:22 | Good day, gentlemen.
|
| 02:34:23 | This way, gentlemen.
|
| 02:34:24 | Thank you, inspector.
|
| 02:34:24 | That's getting even with a vengeance.
|
| 02:34:26 | That's not a bad ending for a practical
joke, is it?
|
| 02:34:30 | Goldie, take these gentlemen's names and
addresses.
|
| 02:34:35 | ziegfeld, don't you realize what you
may have let yourself in for?
|
| 02:34:40 | What?
|
| 02:34:41 | These gentlemen can sue you for false arrest,
to say nothing of the police department.
|
| 02:34:44 | Don't you realize that we have nothing to
worry about anymore?
|
| 02:34:47 | I hope so, sir.
|
| 02:34:48 | do you know
what I've been doing?
|
| 02:34:51 | What, sir?
|
| 02:34:51 | Buying stocks. I've bought over a million.
|
| 02:34:54 | Outright?
|
| 02:34:56 | No, on margin.
|
| 02:34:57 | But all solid securities.
|
| 02:34:59 | And when I've paid for them, I'm going to
buy another million,
and then another and another.
|
| 02:35:04 | Sam, I'm going to be really rich.
|
| 02:35:06 | I'm hope you're right, sir,
but the market's been behaving very queerly
these last few days.
|
| 02:35:11 | [Intercom buzzes]
yes?
|
| 02:35:13 | Woman: Croydon and company on the phone,
mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 02:35:16 | Yes, put them on.
|
| 02:35:16 | They've been trying to get you all morning.
|
| 02:35:19 | They're my broker. hello? speaking.
|
| 02:35:20 | [Man on phone speaking indistinctly]
oh. well, what happened?
|
| 02:35:26 | [Speaking indistinctly]
!
|
| 02:35:30 | [Speaking indistinctly]
how much?
|
| 02:35:33 | [Speaking indistinctly]
!
|
| 02:35:36 | What is it?
|
| 02:35:38 | [Speaking indistinctly]
oh, no, no, no! don't do that!
|
| 02:35:41 | I'll get the money to you in
just a little while.
|
| 02:35:45 | Will you put holloway on the phone?
|
| 02:35:47 | Flo, what is it?
|
| 02:35:48 | The market, sam-- it's crashed.
|
| 02:35:50 | I've got to get $300,000 in cash, immediately.
|
| 02:35:53 | How are we going to do it?
|
| 02:35:55 | I don't know.
|
| 02:35:56 | Maybe I could borrow it from a bank.
|
| 02:35:59 | On what?
|
| 02:36:00 | On your shows.
|
| 02:36:01 | I've already mortgaged
the shows
to put up the first payments on the stock.
|
| 02:36:06 | What's that?
|
| 02:36:07 | But you'vegot to locate him!
|
| 02:36:09 | Yes, of course I'll cover.
|
| 02:36:10 | I'll get the money over to you in just a
little while.
|
| 02:36:14 | Just hold the wire. sam, get billings.
|
| 02:36:16 | Try his house, his office, anywhere, but
get billings!
|
| 02:36:20 | [Whistles]
nagus, we haven't received your check
yet,
and your margin's entirely wiped out.
|
| 02:36:33 | Hello, mr. billings. I'll be right with you.
|
| 02:36:35 | No, we can't, mr. nagus.
|
| 02:36:36 | I'm sorry, but we can't hold your stocks
any longer.
|
| 02:36:40 | billings, we've had to sell you out,
too.
|
| 02:36:42 | Well, that takes me back to my second childhood
consistently.
|
| 02:36:46 | I was a poor kid when I started.
|
| 02:36:48 | ziegfeld's on number 6
for you.
|
| 02:36:52 | Excuse me, mr. billings.
|
| 02:36:54 | Hello?
|
| 02:36:55 | Oh, yes, mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 02:36:56 | Yes, we had to sell you out about half an
hour ago.
|
| 02:37:00 | Yes. I know it is, and I'm terribly sorry.
|
| 02:37:04 | Ziegfeld? I didn't know he was in the market.
|
| 02:37:07 | Oh, yes, very heavy. he'll lose everything.
|
| 02:37:10 | Everything?
|
| 02:37:11 | Everything.
|
| 02:37:12 | Well, this is one time he can't get it from
me.
|
| 02:37:16 | [Laughing]
Sidney: Yes, madame. yes, madame, it is.
|
| 02:38:15 | The doctor left about 10 minutes ago, madame.
|
| 02:38:18 | He seemed very happy about mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 02:38:21 | Said he might stay up for a while longer.
|
| 02:38:24 | Oh, he did so enjoy sitting up to dinner
with you and miss patricia.
|
| 02:38:29 | No, madame.
|
| 02:38:30 | But don't let him stay up too long.
|
| 02:38:32 | Yes, I know, but the more he rests,
the sooner he'll be well again.
|
| 02:38:36 | [Doorbell buzzes]
and, sidney, tell him I'll be home
immediately after the performance.
|
| 02:38:41 | It's time for your entrance, miss burke.
|
| 02:38:43 | sidney, be sure to call me
right after the second act.
|
| 02:38:48 | Yes, about 10:05.
|
| 02:38:50 | Yes, madame.
|
| 02:38:55 | Madame was very happy about you, sir.
|
| 02:39:01 | [Ziegfeld chuckles]
oh, my poor billie.
|
| 02:39:07 | I wish she weren't working.
|
| 02:39:12 | But it does help some, sidney.
|
| 02:39:15 | Get those wires off as quickly as you can,
will you?
|
| 02:39:18 | Yes, sir.
|
| 02:39:19 | Were you able to reach eddie cantor by phone?
|
| 02:39:21 | The los angeles operator's been trying to
reach him for some time, sir.
|
| 02:39:25 | Tell her to keep on trying. sidney?
|
| 02:39:29 | Yes, sir?
|
| 02:39:30 | When you get him, tell him that I want him
for a new show.
|
| 02:39:34 | Tell him that I'm ready to start rehearsals
the instant he can get away from those pictures.
|
| 02:39:41 | Tell him I need him.
|
| 02:39:42 | I haven't had a real show in two years.
|
| 02:39:47 | Yes, sir.
|
| 02:39:48 | [Doorbell rings]
wasn't that the bell, sidney?
|
| 02:39:53 | Yes, sir.
|
| 02:39:53 | Well, why don't you answer it?
|
| 02:39:56 | Yes, sir.
|
| 02:40:03 | Mr. billings.
|
| 02:40:05 | Hello, sidney. how's mr. ziegfeld?
|
| 02:40:08 | Well, he's much improved, sir, but he's very
nervous.
|
| 02:40:12 | He will be glad to see you, sir.
|
| 02:40:14 | I think if we could get him started on a
..
|
| 02:40:17 | I mean to say, if he had the money, sir--
yes, well, we'll see that he gets it.
|
| 02:40:23 | Oh.
|
| 02:40:25 | [Chuckles]
my valet isn't as efficient as you used to
be, sidney.
|
| 02:40:28 | all right for
me to go in and see him?
|
| 02:40:33 | Yes, sir. I wouldn't stay too long.
|
| 02:40:35 | No, no, no.
|
| 02:40:37 | Well, hello, ziggy. how are you feeling?
|
| 02:40:42 | Hello, jack.
|
| 02:40:44 | I'm feeling much better.
|
| 02:40:46 | Thank you.
|
| 02:40:48 | Sit down, won't you?
|
| 02:40:50 | Yes. let me look at you.
|
| 02:40:52 | I don't think you've been sick at all.
|
| 02:40:54 | Just playing possum, that's what you're doing,
so your creditors can't find you.
|
| 02:41:00 | [Laughing]
no. no creditors.
|
| 02:41:05 | No. no creditors.
|
| 02:41:07 | Well, when are you going to be up and around?
|
| 02:41:11 | Well, pretty soon now, I hope.
|
| 02:41:13 | I'm expecting you to go to europe
with me.
|
| 02:41:17 | Oh. well, when are you sailing?
|
| 02:41:19 | we'll stop off at monte
carlo.
|
| 02:41:23 | You can break the bank again.
|
| 02:41:26 | [Laughing]
and then we'll go to london.
|
| 02:41:29 | Maybe we can find some new talent together.
|
| 02:41:33 | Does it interest you?
|
| 02:41:34 | Yes. yes, I'd like to go to london.
|
| 02:41:38 | Yeah? why?
|
| 02:41:39 | You got someone in mind?
|
| 02:41:41 | No.
|
| 02:41:44 | Why? have you?
|
| 02:41:46 | but I wouldn't tell you if I had,
not if you were 10 times as sick as you are.
|
| 02:41:53 | [Laughing]
[coughing]
oh, those were great old days, jack.
|
| 02:42:01 | Yeah!
|
| 02:42:03 | Remember the fair?
|
| 02:42:05 | Do i?
|
| 02:42:07 | Little egypt.
|
| 02:42:08 | Sandow.
|
| 02:42:10 | Yeah, and then anna held.
|
| 02:42:14 | Yes.
|
| 02:42:15 | Oh, i-- I'm sorry, ziggy.
|
| 02:42:24 | Life must be so short?
|
| 02:42:26 | I feel as if I'd been here a thousand
years,
and I'm going to stay a thousand more,
and you'd feel the same way if you'd snap
out of it and get a new show started.
|
| 02:42:38 | Yes. yes, I'd like to do another follies.
|
| 02:42:44 | Why don't you do it?
|
| 02:42:45 | Don't you think it's about time
that you and I split 50-50 in something?
|
| 02:42:50 | I'd love to, jack, but it'll take a lot of
money.
|
| 02:42:55 | I've never refused you before, have i?
|
| 02:42:57 | ..
|
| 02:43:03 | Before the depression, I mean.
|
| 02:43:09 | I heard that the market got you.
|
| 02:43:11 | .. don't be silly.
|
| 02:43:15 | I'm too smart for any stock market.
|
| 02:43:17 | Oh, I lost a couple of thousand or so, but
I got out in time.
|
| 02:43:23 | Really?
|
| 02:43:25 | Yeah.
|
| 02:43:27 | How about you? did it get you?
|
| 02:43:28 | .. I never played the market.
|
| 02:43:32 | Oh.
|
| 02:43:33 | Oh, I may have dropped a few hundred, maybe,
but nothing to speak of.
|
| 02:43:42 | Well, how much money do you suppose it will
take, ziggy?
|
| 02:43:47 | Oh, a couple of hundred thousand.
|
| 02:43:50 | A couple of hundred thousand, huh?
|
| 02:43:52 | Well, ok, it's a deal.
|
| 02:43:55 | You pull yourself together and get well,
and I'll give you the money.
|
| 02:43:58 | doesn't
that make you feel better, sir?
|
| 02:44:02 | Yes, that makes me feel much better.
|
| 02:44:06 | Jack, you're a real person.
|
| 02:44:10 | ..
|
| 02:44:12 | You're not a bad sort yourself, ziggy.
|
| 02:44:15 | Well, I'll drop in tomorrow.
|
| 02:44:20 | Yes. do that.
|
| 02:44:22 | .. if you just put your mind
to it,
I think you'll be up and around in a week.
|
| 02:44:27 | But don't let me rush you because while you're
sitting here convalescing,
I'll be picking out the gals for the new
show, huh?
|
| 02:44:35 | [Laughing]
well, he looks all right to me, sidney.
|
| 02:44:42 | Undoubtedly, he will be, sir,
thanks to you.
|
| 02:44:47 | I hope so.
|
| 02:44:51 | ..
|
| 02:44:56 | Well, take good care of him.
|
| 02:45:15 | Mr. ziegfeld.
|
| 02:45:20 | ziegfeld,
I wouldn't tax my strength if I were you,
sir.
|
| 02:45:25 | Sidney, I've got things to do.
|
| 02:45:29 | I must get cantor, bill rogers, bill fields.
|
| 02:45:33 | They must come back to me!
|
| 02:45:35 | I'll have all my old stars together in one
great show.
|
| 02:45:40 | I must do the biggest follies of my whole
life!
|
| 02:45:46 | I--
oh, sidney, I'm so terribly broke.
|
| 02:46:03 | isn't he going to
help you?
|
| 02:46:07 | Sidney, he hasn't a nickel.
|
| 02:46:09 | He was lying to me just to make me feel better.
|
| 02:46:14 | We're both broke.
|
| 02:46:15 | I wouldn't worry about that, sir.
|
| 02:46:18 | You've been broke before, sir.
|
| 02:46:20 | Yes, I know. I've always laughed about it.
|
| 02:46:26 | ..
|
| 02:46:29 | Because I've been wrong.
|
| 02:46:33 | ..
|
| 02:46:36 | Nothing to leave anyone.
|
| 02:46:37 | you leave them the memories
of the finest things ever done on the stage,
sir.
|
| 02:46:43 | You'll leave them a name that they can be
proud of all their lives.
|
| 02:46:48 | And you'll soon feel better, sir,
and then you can do more beautiful things
than ever before, sir.
|
| 02:46:53 | ..
|
| 02:46:56 | To say that.
|
| 02:46:56 | it's after
10:00.
|
| 02:47:10 | ..
|
