- Here.
:03:11
You read it.

"George M. Cohan,
The Alvin Theater, New York.
:03:18
The president requests that you call
upon him at your earliest convenience...
:03:22
...in regard to a personal matter.
:03:25
Kindly reply for definite appointment
at White House.
:03:29
Stephen T. Early,
secretary to the president."
:03:34
There you are, Sam.
There you are. What did I tell you?
:03:39
Coming at a time like this,
with everything on his mind...
:03:42

This is important.

to come and be shot at sunrise.
:03:51
- He doesn't get up that early.
- I've got a run-of-the-play contract.
:03:55
Fine time to make lame jokes.
:03:59
I'm worried, Sam.
:04:01
I'm really worried.
:04:23
Halt!
:04:28
- What can I do for you?
- I've got an appointment.
:04:32
- The name, please?
- Cohan. George M. Cohan.
:04:35
All right, sir. If you'll wait
just one moment, I'll call.
:04:43
This is Sgt. Lewis
at the Pennsylvania Avenue gate...
:04:49
- Good evening, Mr. Cohan.
- Good evening.
:04:52
- We've been expecting you.
- Thank you.
