Now, as the story goes...
:45:29
Hattie was playing this love scene
with William Weston...
:45:32
this handsome older man
who always kissed his leading ladies...
:45:36
so they said,
with an open mouth.
:45:38
And he was kissing her,
and they were doing take after take...
:45:42
and he was kissing her over and over
with an open mouth.
:45:45
After 30 takes of getting kissed
by this gorgeous leading man...
:45:50
Hattie went into a small coma.
:45:57
And that was the last time...
:45:59
Emmet ever set foot in Hollywood.
:46:01
Yeah, I remember Emmet and Hattie
back East at that time.
:46:05
In fact, he had a good manager,
this cat named Sid Bishop.
:46:08
Sid was really good to him,
and he got him a lot of gigs.
:46:11
Emmet was doing really well,
and that really wasn't easy.
:46:13
Back then, a lot of musicians
were hurting from the Depression...
:46:16
and there wasn't
a lot of work to go around.
:46:19
But Emmet even agreed
at that time...
:46:21
to do a couple of sides
for the Victor label.
:46:24
He did "Melancholy Baby,"
"Exactly Like You"...
:46:27
and "I'll See You In My Dreams."
