- Mr. Canfield, she's here.
- She's here.
:33:11
Darling!
:33:15
Thanks for nothing,
why weren't you at the airport?
:33:18
Ladies and gentlemen, Peggy Dayton.
:33:21
The star of the picture
I'm about to produce in Paris.
:33:24
This is Miss Dayton's
first serious, non-swimming picture.
:33:27
You're not swimming at all?
:33:29
I'm going to play my first dramatic part.
I've always wanted to do one.
:33:33
Besides, on account of my ears...
:33:35
I'm not allowed to swim
any more in pictures.
:33:38
But you're
America's Swimming Sweetheart.
:33:40
Boys, I've had it. I've really had it.
:33:43
The Girl from the Sleepy Lagoon.
:33:45
The Cowboy and the Mermaid.
Neptune's Mother.
:33:48
I never got a chance to dry off.
:33:50
No, from now on,
I'm just going to swim socially.
:33:53
Hold it, Miss Dayton.
:33:57
The point is this:
for the first time we're going to use...
:34:00
Miss Dayton's genuine and real ability
as a dramatic actress.
:34:03
What's this new picture you're doing?
:34:05
I can't tell you much,
but it's based on a book.
:34:07
What book?
:34:08
It wouldn't mean much in the newspapers.
I just heard about it myself.
:34:12
- But it's terrific. A real sleeper.
- Not exactly a sleeper.
:34:16
A novel long neglected but ever eternal,
if you know what I mean.
:34:20
- I don't, what's the name of it?
- War and Peace.
:34:24
It will make a wonderful picture
once it's boiled down.
:34:26
Of course, that title will have to go.
:34:28
How do you feel about Tolstoy?
:34:30
- Who?
- Tolstoy.
:34:32
- Who's that?
- He wrote War and Peace.
:34:34
Oh, that Tolstoy.
:34:36
There's absolutely no truth
to the rumors, we're just good friends.
:34:40
Actually, we're only using
a segment of War and Peace.
:34:44
A lighter moment and perfectly suited
to Miss Dayton's personality.
:34:47
Who is making the adaptation?
:34:49
- Who is the director?
- Who is in the cast?
:34:51
Boys, I haven't had a chance
to think about all that.
:34:55
Writing, directing, cast.
Those things don't mean a thing today.
:34:59
Today there are many other things
that are much more important.
