:23:03
Come in.
:23:05
Mr. E.F. Albee.
:23:07
- Hello, Cohan.
- Albee. Meet Mrs. Cohan.
:23:10
How do you do?
:23:12
- Sit down, Mr. Albee.
- Thank you.
:23:15
I saw your show tonight. Not bad.
:23:19
Have a cigar?
:23:21
No, thanks.
:23:22
Your show's no good for vaudeville, but
I've seen a lot worse right here in Brooklyn.
:23:28
We're opening a new theater in Philadelphia
on the 4th of July.
:23:32
If you fix up a good vaudeville act...
:23:34
...we'll double your salary, give ten weeks'
guarantee and third or fourth billing.
:23:39
- Double our salary?
- You'll be with the best variety artists.
:23:43
Vesta victoria, Eddie Foy, Ward & vokes,
Lottie Collins, Charlie Case...
:23:48
Just a second.
:23:51
I'm George M. Cohan. You're opening
a theater in Philadelphia on July 4th?
:23:56
- Yes, that's right.
- That's my birthday.
:24:00
That isn't why we're opening the theater.
:24:02
The salary's all right,
but how have you got the nerve...
:24:05
...to offer us third or fourth billing
after my performance tonight?
:24:10
Is this kid in your show?
:24:12
Am I in the show! Who do you think
was Peck's Bad Boy?
:24:16
I beg your pardon.
I didn't quite recognize you.
:24:20
You didn't? Then maybe you're not
the showman you're cracked up to be.
:24:24
- George!
- George!
:24:25
Well, now, maybe I'm not.
:24:28
Maybe you're not quite ready
for the big time yet.
:24:33
Mrs. Cohan. Mr. Cohan.
Good night.
:24:38
Mr. Albee!
:24:42
- How do you do, Mr. Albee?
- Good evening.
:24:44
- Can I call you a carriage?
- Lf you will.
:24:46
Carriage for Mr. Albee!
:24:50
You see what happens
because you wouldn't lay a hand on him?
:24:54
A mother doesn't do any punishing.
She gives her permission.
:24:57
Have I your permission?
