1:47:00
It's sort of a musical satire.
1:47:02
Wonderful!
1:47:03
You know he's a very good pianist,
and me with the violin...
1:47:08
A lot of very really
really very funny business.
1:47:23
Come in.
1:47:28
Sit down, my dear.
You look tired.
1:47:31
I've been working with the claque,
going over Calvero's jokes.
1:47:35
I gave them cue sheets so
they'll know exactly where to laugh.
1:47:38
Are the jokes as bad as all that?
1:47:40
I'm worried. If he fails tonight,
it'll kill him. I know it.
1:47:45
He won't fail. The audience
will be most sympathetic.
1:47:49
But he doesn't want sympathy.
He keeps saying that.
1:47:52
He wants to be a genuine success.
1:47:54
What does he expect?
You know he's not the man he was.
1:47:59
He mustn't be told that!
1:48:02
Tell me, my dear,
1:48:04
are you still going to marry him?
1:48:09
I'll do anything in the world
to make him happy.
1:48:12
He's a very lucky man.
1:48:14
He's a very, very lucky man.
1:48:19
I never thought we'd come to this.
1:48:22
Here we have the star dressing room
without a dresser.
1:48:26
Oh well, I guess we can put up
with it for one night.
1:48:29
Fred, the stage manager.
1:48:30
Come in, Fred.
1:48:33
Like old times,
seeing you in this room again.
1:48:36
What's on your mind?
1:48:38
You've got 10 minutes, because
there's 20 other acts to follow.
1:48:42
You're in a song first,
finishing up with a musical act.
1:48:46
I'll ring down
after you fall in the drum.
1:48:48
No, after I'm carried off
in the drum.
1:48:50
Right you are. Thank you, sir.
1:48:54
If anybody else says it's like old
times, I'll jump out the window!
1:48:58
First the doorman,
then the call boy,
