This is Dora Bailey,
ladies and gentlemen...
:01:36
... talking to you from the front
of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
:01:40
What a night, ladies and gentlemen.
What a night!
:01:43
Every star in Hollywood is here
to make Monumental Pictures' premiere...
:01:48
...of "The Royal Rascal",
the outstanding event of 1927.
:01:52
Everyone breathlessly awaits...
:01:54
...the arrival of Lina Lamont
and Don Lockwood.
:01:58
Look who's arriving now.
:02:00
It's that famous "zip" girl
of the screen...
:02:03
...the darling of the flapper set...
:02:05
...Zelda Zanders!
:02:08
Zelda! Zelda!
:02:11
Her new red-hot pash,
J. Cumberland Spendrill III...
:02:15
...that well-known eligible bachelor.
:02:18
Zelda's had so much unhappiness,
I hope this time it's really love.
:02:24
And here comes that
exotic star, Olga Mara!
:02:30
And her new husband,
the Baron de la Bonnet de la Toulon.
:02:35
They've been married two months already,
but still as happy as newlyweds.
:02:41
Well, well, well.
It's Cosmo Brown!
:02:51
Cosmo is Don's best friend.
:02:53
He plays the piano on the set
for Don and Lina...
:02:56
...to get them into
those romantic moods!
:02:59
Oh, folks, this is it.
This is it!
