:33:03
The sorrow becomes a servant.
:33:16
Just because you've got problems...
:33:19
is no excuse to be unhappy.
:33:31
Maybe Reverend Schuller was right.
:33:32
Things could be worse,
and there was much to be thankful for...
:33:35
like the Star Theatre of Flint...
:33:37
funded with GM money
to provide entertainment and escape...
:33:40
during Flint's hard times.
:33:43
Buick City, this is called.
:33:47
Rednecks, hardhat automotive workers.
:33:51
We bring Broadway
and the theater to them...
:33:54
in this beautiful edifice.
But that takes money, time, effort, energy.
:33:57
Bobby Vinton opened our season.
It was 90 percent sold out. It was a big hit.
:34:02
He has charisma. Came into the audience,
spent about 15 minutes with them...
:34:06
fussing with the ladies, kissing,
and they loved him.
:34:09
He got standing ovations every night.
:34:11
Peggy Lee came.
She wasn't the greatest hit.
:34:13
But she had her cult
from surrounding areas.
:34:16
Her cult love her.
Those who came absolutely loved her.
:34:19
Standing ovations, bravos, cheers...
They were crazy about her.
:34:23
Last year, Mitzi Gaynor came here
with her show.
:34:25
She brings 10 wonderful
boy dancers with her.
:34:27
She makes 16 changes. The boys make 14.
:34:31
When they're on, she's off.
She's on, they're off, changing costumes.
:34:34
One production number after another.
:34:36
You'd be surprised. Some of those
hard-hat factory workers say, ''Hey! ''
:34:41
They present their badge or identification,
so they can come at a half-price ticket...
:34:46
to keep them coming
when they're having hard times.
:34:56
Long before she sold orange juice...
:34:58
Anita Bryant sold spark plugs
for General Motors' AC division.
