00:00:50♪
00:01:10Get this straight once and for all, here we are gentlemen, our fair city of Hempstead.
00:01:18And there's Bradfield, twenty miles away, our rival.
00:01:22Sure we're twin cities, perhaps we are a trifle smaller, but I think our brains are larger.
00:01:30They're building an exposition, we're building an exposition.
00:01:34Gentlemen, this is a fight.
00:01:36We've got to face the fact.
00:01:38This is a race against time.
00:01:41And time marches on.
00:01:43You wanted a headline, how do you like this?
00:01:45Four columns on page one.
00:01:47You can't buy that space.
00:01:49This is what I call action.
00:01:50Action? It's a press agent's dream in black and white.
00:01:53It's unnatural.
00:01:54You promised my own exhibit personal publicity.
00:01:56You'll get it.
00:01:57I talked to him first.
00:01:59Gentlemen, one at a time, one at a time.
00:02:01I'm only your press agent, I don't own the newspaper.
00:02:04What's going on with the other exposition, Jimmy?
00:02:06They're working like maniacs.
00:02:07They've got ten men to our one.
00:02:09If we want to open first, we've got to step on it.
00:02:11How soon are they going to open?
00:02:12I don't know, I haven't been over in three days.
00:02:14I'll run over now and check up on it.
00:02:16Gentlemen, don't worry.
00:02:17Nobody ever outsmarted a Maxwell.
00:02:19Not even a Maxwell.
00:02:21Look, Jimmy.
00:02:45What do you think of my new Hispano Suiza?
00:02:47Fifteen gallons to the mile.
00:02:49Well, where's the rest of it?
00:02:50We'll get that, we'll make the last monthly payment.
00:02:52Boy, there is a hunk of car.
00:02:54Well, I hope it holds together till you get over to Bradfield.
00:02:57We've got to find out when they're going to open.
00:02:59Oh, gee whiz, why don't you go?
00:03:01No, I'm too busy.
00:03:02Listen, Jimmy, the last time I was over there,
00:03:03they told me they would break my neck
00:03:05if they caught me hanging around again.
00:03:07That's something to look forward to.
00:03:09Huh?
00:03:10All right, I'll go, I'll go.
00:03:13But remember, if anything happens to me, you're to blame.
00:03:17Get going.
00:03:48There's nothing to get excited about, gentlemen.
00:03:50When we get going full blast,
00:03:52what Hempstead is doing will look like a county fair.
00:03:55And that, gentlemen, concludes the business of this meeting.
00:03:59Mr. Murdoch, what about this?
00:04:02$100,000 expected at opening of Hempstead Exposition.
00:04:05Now they're getting all the breaks.
00:04:07Where is our publicity man?
00:04:10There's nothing to be alarmed about, gentlemen.
00:04:13Yes, where is this Joe Allen you've been raving about?
00:04:16Will you please, will you please leave this to me, Jeff?
00:04:18We're about to open. Why isn't he here?
00:04:20He'll be here any day,
00:04:21but he's been shooting me ideas from the east,
00:04:23and I'll use them at the proper moment.
00:04:25Now don't worry about Joe Allen.
00:04:27That fellow's dynamite.
00:04:29Good day, gentlemen.
00:04:37Mr. Murdoch?
00:04:39Yes?
00:04:40What can I do for you?
00:04:41I'm Joe Allen.
00:04:42Joe Allen?
00:04:44Oh, I know. You were expecting a man.
00:04:46Naturally.
00:04:48What nonsense is this?
00:04:50Nonsense?
00:04:52Well, surely you didn't think it nonsense
00:04:54when your friend at the Bankers' Trust recommended me to you.
00:04:58But Tom didn't say you were a lady publicity man.
00:05:01I mean that...
00:05:02I know what you mean, Mr. Murdoch.
00:05:03But as Mary Jo Allen,
00:05:05I just couldn't get a break handling big-time publicity,
00:05:07so I dropped the Mary,
00:05:09and since then I've handled,
00:05:11if you'll pardon my saying so,
00:05:13some bigger jobs than the Bradfield Exposition.
00:05:20Well, let's get to work.
00:05:22Oh, thank you.
00:05:23First I'd like to see the publicity line-up they sent you.
00:05:26Sit down.
00:05:32And their stuff too, if you have it.
00:05:36Who is this genius who's getting them all this publicity?
00:05:39Oh, Jimmy Maxwell, a local fellow.
00:05:42Jimmy Maxwell, huh?
00:05:44Well, you're not getting any play at all.
00:05:46Hempstead's getting all the breaks.
00:05:48Oh, we don't have to worry about them.
00:05:50Are you sure?
00:05:56I think I'll do a little snooping.
00:05:59Oh, I'm sure you will.
00:06:02I think I'll do a little snooping.
00:06:15Hey, look out!
00:06:22I suppose you see what almost happened to you.
00:06:24I could have stepped out of the way if you hadn't yelled at me.
00:06:26You might have been killed.
00:06:28I hate self-appointed heroes.
00:06:30I'm not even keen about girls who go around gaping at buildings.
00:06:33Just look at yourself.
00:06:35Mind if I take that dirt off your chin?
00:06:38Funny thing about women, 99 out of 100 have a snooping complex.
00:06:43You must have done a lot of snooping yourself to find that out.
00:06:46You see that sign?
00:06:48I don't believe in signs.
00:06:50I better get you out of here before something else happens.
00:06:57Let's ride.
00:07:00Let's go.
00:07:13Well, this is the end of the line for you, my little rice pudding.
00:07:16Get out and go home.
00:07:17I don't want you hanging around the fairgrounds so much, Ginger.
00:07:19It's a very bad environment. Now get out and go home.
00:07:21No, I'm going to ride around with you.
00:07:23You can't, Ginger. I have a lot of appointments.
00:07:25Listen, Buzz, there might be some newspaper photographers around
00:07:28I'll take my picture and put it in the paper and it'll be good for my career.
00:07:31Your career.
00:07:32Ginger, why don't you give yourself up to Ripley?
00:07:35Do you know Ripley?
00:07:36That's wonderful.
00:07:38You can introduce me to him and he'll put me in his show.
00:07:40Ginger, my darling, if you have one little brain cell left in that head of yours,
00:07:44will you please use it?
00:07:45I've got a job.
00:07:46You have? Where?
00:07:48Honey, come here.
00:07:50You remember me?
00:07:51I'm Buzzy, your little boyfriend.
00:07:53And we go around together, we do.
00:07:55And I have a job, a very big job.
00:07:57I'm a guide here at the exposition.
00:07:59I have to go through all these big buildings and study them so I'm able to talk about them.
00:08:04Buzz, you're so silly.
00:08:06How can you talk about those buildings?
00:08:08They haven't done anything.
00:08:10Well, neither have I, but I had to get you.
00:08:12Now get out and go home.
00:08:13No.
00:08:14Go on, get out.
00:08:15No.
00:08:16Ginger, get out and go home.
00:08:17No!
00:08:19Ginger, the car won't stand it.
00:08:21No!
00:08:23Oh, Buzz, I'm so sorry.
00:08:26It came off so easy.
00:08:28You're always wrecking something, including myself.
00:08:31All right, you stay.
00:08:32I'll go.
00:08:33Buzz, I didn't mean it.
00:08:35Wait for me.
00:08:36Wait for me, Buzz.
00:08:42Will you go back to the car?
00:08:44Ah, there you are.
00:08:45I've been looking all over for you.
00:08:46Where have you been?
00:08:48Don't yell.
00:08:49I'm not in the mood.
00:08:50All day we've been rehearsing those three crazy musicians that you hired.
00:08:53What happened?
00:08:54Well, what happened?
00:08:55Nothing.
00:08:56Will you stop all this worrying, Rudolph?
00:08:57I'll whip these three guys into shape myself.
00:08:59Yeah, I like to whip them into something.
00:09:03Now do you see what you've done?
00:09:04I should have been here rehearsing them, getting them ready for the big opening.
00:09:07Oh, Buzz, I can help you.
00:09:09You don't need them.
00:09:11I'll play all three of their parts.
00:09:13Listen, my little coffee pot.
00:09:14Just remain here quietly until I finish, and don't be a bad girl.
00:09:19I hope you enjoyed it.
00:09:22Journey much too short.
00:09:24Well, how do you like it?
00:09:38This is my big opportunity.
00:09:43Here's a pad.
00:09:44Now you can come and go as you please.
00:09:47You don't know how much this means to me.
00:09:51Well, so long.
00:09:55Oh, what lovely music.
00:09:57That's one of my pet ideas.
00:09:59Mind if I see how you pet an idea?
00:10:01Sure.
00:10:02That's one of my pet ideas.
00:10:04Mind if I see how you pet an idea?
00:10:06Sure.
00:10:33To your health and my health.
00:10:42A toast to Mrs. Liederkantz, who had five babies all at once.
00:10:48When she got up from her bed, this is what she said.
00:11:02To your health and my health.
00:11:21Let's have another.
00:11:22Another and another.
00:11:24To your health and my health.
00:11:26Oh, may our glasses please.
00:11:28Let's have another drink.
00:11:33Well, what did you find out?
00:11:36What did I find out?
00:11:37Plenty.
00:11:38They can open their fair in a couple of days, if they like.
00:11:41Who told you?
00:11:42You'll never guess in a thousand years.
00:11:44Jimmy Maxwell.
00:11:46Jimmy Maxwell?
00:11:47Yes, I've got it in writing.
00:11:48There, look.
00:11:49He thinks I'm a schoolteacher.
00:11:51A pass.
00:11:52Yes, and I'm going right on playing schoolteacher with him.
00:11:55That's rich.
00:11:56Have the gentleman come in, please.
00:11:58Yes, miss.
00:11:59I hope you approve of my double.
00:12:01Your double?
00:12:02You'll see.
00:12:04Ah, Mr. Murdock.
00:12:06I, Mr. Churchill, I have something that will prove most advantageous to your exposition.
00:12:11I would like to present a series of lectures on how to preserve the body beautiful.
00:12:16Mr. Churchill, we're not interested in that.
00:12:18You see, for certain reasons, I've got to stay out of the picture.
00:12:21And I want you to impersonate me.
00:12:23Be Jo Allen.
00:12:25How could I do that, Miss Allen?
00:12:27I'm not a woman.
00:12:28The name is all you need assumed.
00:12:30My dear, if you'll pardon me, the whole thing smacks of chicanery.
00:12:36It doesn't seem just quite ethical.
00:12:41We'll pay $18 a week.
00:12:44I couldn't consider the role of an imposter.
00:12:49How about $25?
00:12:53How about $25?
00:13:00Well, in that case, you might persuade me to accept the non-degree.
00:13:06Congratulations.
00:13:08From now on, you're Jo Allen.
00:13:10And this is your office.
00:13:12My, uh, my office.
00:13:15Well, well, well.
00:13:18Well, that's that.
00:13:20What's the idea?
00:13:21Maxwell told me he's got a colossal stunt planned for the opening.
00:13:24I've got to find out what it is.
00:13:45See here, Jo.
00:13:46The sponsors have had me on the carpet all morning.
00:13:48Take a look at this.
00:13:49Yes, I know.
00:13:50Just read it.
00:13:51The Hampstead Exposition opens tomorrow.
00:13:52Now, we could have opened three days ago.
00:13:54But I let you talk me into waiting.
00:13:56We've let them get the drop on us.
00:13:58Well, don't you think it's a good idea to wait and see what they have to offer?
00:14:01There's an old saying, you know.
00:14:02It isn't who starts the race.
00:14:04It's, uh, who wins it.
00:14:06Yes, I know.
00:14:07But what am I going to tell the sponsors?
00:14:10Leave that to the school teacher.
00:14:21Oh, you have a wonderful crowd.
00:14:23The kind of coffee I sent out, they had to come.
00:14:26You haven't seen anything yet.
00:14:28I believe you.
00:14:33Are those our seats?
00:14:34Aren't they cute?
00:14:35Well, right in the first row, we'll be able to see good.
00:14:37Hello.
00:14:38Look at all the people.
00:14:39Isn't that wonderful?
00:14:40They really are.
00:14:41Isn't that wonderful?
00:14:42They really are.
00:14:43They really are.
00:14:44They really are.
00:14:45They really are.
00:14:46They really are.
00:14:47They really are.
00:14:48Hello.
00:14:49Look at all the people.
00:14:50Isn't that wonderful?
00:14:51They really hurt each other when they fought first.
00:14:52Don't get so excited.
00:14:53Just sit down quietly, and I'll be right back.
00:14:55Oh, Buzz.
00:14:56Can I go with you?
00:14:57No, honey.
00:14:58This is my big night.
00:14:59I've got to announce a prize fight.
00:15:00Maybe I can get to do my dance between the rounds.
00:15:02Ginger, if you ever mention dancing again, I'll...
00:15:05Oh, Buzz.
00:15:06Don't let the world know.
00:15:07All right, honey.
00:15:08Here.
00:15:09Eat your peanuts quietly, and hope I don't ever nourish you.
00:15:13Hey, Murdock.
00:15:16Here's the guy I'm burning plenty.
00:15:19Nice little opening to me.
00:15:21Oh, it's all right.
00:15:22Miss Wilson, Mr. Murdock.
00:15:24How do you do?
00:15:25Miss Wilson, let me present Mr. Allen.
00:15:27Joe, old man.
00:15:28How are you?
00:15:29I haven't seen you in a long time.
00:15:30No.
00:15:31You've lost some weight, haven't you?
00:15:32Yeah.
00:15:33How are the wife and kids?
00:15:34Oh, they're fine.
00:15:35Good worker, Allen.
00:15:36Smart boy.
00:15:37Fast thinker.
00:15:38How do you like the opening, Mr. Murdock?
00:15:40Well, if I might be permitted to say so,
00:15:42it is the elixir of super showmanship.
00:15:44Yes, the quintessence of achievement.
00:15:46Quintessence.
00:15:47Quintuplets.
00:15:48I'll have them down here tomorrow.
00:15:50Well, so long, Mr. Murdock.
00:15:52So long, Joe.
00:15:53Goodbye.
00:15:54Goodbye, Miss...
00:15:55Miss Wilson.
00:15:56You.
00:15:57You.
00:15:58Nice work.
00:15:59Have a cigar.
00:16:01No, thank you.
00:16:02I don't chew.
00:16:04Ladies and gentlemen!
00:16:08Tonight, you are going to witness one of the greatest
00:16:13nights of my entire life!
00:16:16Yes, it is.
00:16:17It is.
00:16:18It is.
00:16:19Yes, it is.
00:16:20It is.
00:16:21Yes, it is.
00:16:22It is.
00:16:23It is.
00:16:24The greatest night of my entire life.
00:16:27I've got it.
00:16:29Tonight, you are going to witness one of the greatest lightweight championship bouts ever
00:16:35staged in the history of the ring. This fight will be described to you row by row and jab by jab
00:16:44by the three radio rope. The broadcast is brought to you through the courtesy of Zilch's Hats.
00:16:52Their stores are everywhere. Zilch's, the hat that every man should wear.
00:16:59Referee, Charlie Randolph.
00:17:52A left and then another right. Boy, oh baby, what a fight, what a fight, what a fight,
00:17:56what a fight. They're starting in to mix again and show their training tricks again.
00:18:00Look at Bozo tearing him while he hits him on the chin. Lefty rears, honest heels,
00:18:05Bozo's getting sore. Canela's sore like a rocket. Lefty's on the floor, he's on the floor, he's on the floor.
00:18:13The fever's gone deep, the ref is complete. One, one, two, two, three, three, four, four.
00:18:20Hear them yell, he's saved by the bell. The bell, the bell, the bell, the bell, the bell, the bell.
00:18:30There's nothing like a bell. There's nothing like a bell. He's coming to, he's okay now,
00:18:41he's speed and aggravated. This program comes to you through Zilch's hat's incorporated.
00:18:50Round two, round two, yeah. They're in a clinch, they're in a clinch, they're in a clinch, they're in a clinch, a clinch, a clinch, a clinch, a clinch, a clinch, a clinch.
00:19:00It's still a clinch, it's still a clinch, the champ is stalling,
00:19:08the champ is stalling, and he'll break out into our walls.
00:19:16Look, look, left hook, right hook, look, look. He's reeling, he's reeling, he's reeling, he's reeling.
00:19:23The champ is on the floor, just as you and I. The champ is on the floor, look, look, look, look, look.
00:19:30One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
00:19:38The hat, second to no other brand, for you, for people who understand, and you, if it's a Zilch's it's grand, and you, keeps you from getting all tanned, the hat, with a reversible band, you can't go wrong with Zilch's hats, because they're trim and neat, that's why without a Zilch's hat, your head is incomplete.
00:20:03He's not coming, he's not coming, he's not coming, he's not coming.
00:20:06The crowd is rushing for the ring, they're coming, nothing like it when they're going mad.
00:20:10And we'll keep our hands up in the air.
00:20:12So let's get that Zilch's on the line, reception of the world.
00:20:15Come on, let me say it through the mic.
00:20:18Tell them how it feels and what it's like.
00:20:21Hello Ma, this is your son, the lightweight champ, I won, I won.
00:20:26Listen Ma, I'm rushing home, I'm winding up me tracks.
00:20:30Wait for me, I'm on my way with 50,000 smacks.
00:20:34Oh, it was short and sweet, it was a snappy, it was fast.
00:20:38For I won a fight, by courtesy of Zilch's hat.
00:20:44For I won a fight, by courtesy of Zilch's hat.
00:21:01We've got the top hence to them, we might as well fold up.
00:21:04We've got to do more than top them.
00:21:06We've got to make them forget they ever saw that opening.
00:21:08Yes, but what?
00:21:09I don't know yet.
00:21:10Something spectacular, something different, like, well like Rosero.
00:21:15That's it, let's get Rosero.
00:21:18He's the greatest showman in the world, why his show...
00:21:20That's it, let's get Rosero.
00:21:22He's the greatest showman in the world, why his show...
00:21:50Gentlemen, how can I visualize my ideas when you don't give me a loud bark?
00:22:04Oh, what kind of a dog is this?
00:22:07A bit of a Pomeranian, sir.
00:22:09Oh, I do not want Pomeranians, I don't want little dogs, I want big dogs.
00:22:13I want big barks.
00:22:16Ah, that is much better.
00:22:18I feel in the moon now.
00:22:20Right you are, sir.
00:22:21I thank you.
00:22:22I see, put that down.
00:22:24I see 450 white hunting dogs barking something colossal.
00:22:31But supposing I can't get all white dogs, sir?
00:22:33Oh, get ostriches.
00:22:35Now you get me out of my mood.
00:22:39Pardon me, sir.
00:22:40The ladies have done their attire for your approval.
00:22:42Oh, I thank you.
00:22:43Bring him in.
00:23:04Beautiful.
00:23:05Beautiful.
00:23:14Say, how can I put him in a horse with those kind of costumes?
00:23:24The way you are, sir.
00:23:26Oh, more complication, more complication.
00:23:33Hello?
00:23:35Yes, madam.
00:23:38Telephone for you, sir.
00:23:44Hello?
00:23:45Yes, this is Rosario.
00:23:50Hello.
00:23:52Where are you, darling?
00:23:53I'm down in Bradfield, Texas, getting their exposition ready to open.
00:23:56And we want you to come down and help us open it with a bang.
00:23:59Bring my show down to your fair.
00:24:01Sure I will.
00:24:03Great.
00:24:06How much?
00:24:08Oh, Rosie, I want you to do me a personal favor.
00:24:10Go easy on the price, huh?
00:24:12For my little friend Joe Allen, I'll do anything.
00:24:16I'll cut my salary in half.
00:24:19Is that all right?
00:24:20Oh, that's swell.
00:24:21I'll let you know by wire.
00:24:23Goodbye, Rosie.
00:24:24It's all right.
00:24:25We can get him.
00:24:26We can?
00:24:27How much do you want?
00:24:28Only $5,000.
00:24:29Fine.
00:24:30A day, for 100 days.
00:24:33Half a million.
00:24:34Oh, well, he's cutting his price in half.
00:24:36That's because I'm a friend of his.
00:24:37The government mints is in Washington, not Bradfield.
00:24:39That's out.
00:24:40We've got to get an angel to back it.
00:24:42Surely there's one left in Bradfield.
00:24:44I've made everyone out here give up his last dollar.
00:24:47Well, can't you think of anybody else?
00:24:49Not a soul.
00:24:51Wait a minute.
00:24:52No, no, no.
00:24:53Not a chance.
00:24:54He's hopeless.
00:24:55Have you got any money?
00:24:56Texcon Liquor could raise $4 or $5 million in a pinch.
00:25:00Oil.
00:25:05Oh, Pop, you should have been at the opening of the exposition last night.
00:25:08No use wasting your breath telling me about one of them carnivals.
00:25:11And I don't want to hear you've been hanging around there trying to be an actress.
00:25:14One of these days, you'll see my name in electric lights that high.
00:25:18People will follow me for my autograph.
00:25:20My picture will be on washing machines, ice boxes, corn nettles, and sardines.
00:25:25Hang around them carnival fellas, and your picture will be in the sheriff's office.
00:25:30Get me the Texcon Liquor.
00:25:33Here you are, sir.
00:25:34Come on, time's a-wasting.
00:25:37Hello?
00:25:38Yep.
00:25:39It's for you, Mr. Tex.
00:25:43Hello?
00:25:45Who?
00:25:47Oh, Murdoch.
00:25:48Hi.
00:25:51Sure, I'm always interested in a proposition to make money.
00:25:56Rossero?
00:25:58No, I never heard of him.
00:26:01Rossero?
00:26:03No, I never heard of him.
00:26:08Why, you're a plum loco, man.
00:26:10I wouldn't have no hand in that for all the oil in Texas.
00:26:13Put that away, handsome.
00:26:16Imagine, that con-sign fool wanting me to finance one of them lake shows for $500,000.
00:26:21Oh, don't be such a miser, Pop.
00:26:23What's $500,000?
00:26:25You finance Rossero, I'll be the star.
00:26:28Aw, it makes it all so simple.
00:26:30Don't have to worry about my picture being in the sheriff's office.
00:26:33I'd spend $500,000 to keep you off the stage.
00:26:36Can't you think of nothing else but play acting?
00:26:38What would your ma have said?
00:26:41You should know after all the things she called you.
00:26:45Well, Connelly was our only hope.
00:26:47But with or without Rossero, we've got to open.
00:26:49You can't stall any longer.
00:26:51You should have gone to see him.
00:26:52Oh, forget Connelly.
00:26:53How can I forget $5 million?
00:26:59Draw up a contract and wish me luck.
00:27:01I'll get his name on it or get shot crying.
00:27:04Okay.
00:27:29Nice stars you have here.
00:27:32Don't you hurt?
00:27:33Stars shine brighter in Texas than any place in the world.
00:27:38Sounds like something discovered by the Chamber of Commerce.
00:27:41I'm not going to let the Chamber of Commerce take credit for my discovery.
00:27:46I'll show you.
00:27:49I'll show you.
00:27:51I'll show you.
00:27:53I'll show you.
00:27:55I'll show you.
00:27:56I'll show you.
00:27:57I'll show you.
00:28:08I wonder if it's really true that for every person in the world there's a star.
00:28:12I wonder.
00:28:13Maybe we're very old friends.
00:28:15Oh, short acquaintances of some 2,000 years.
00:28:19A comet swept down the Milky Way and I was there to yank you to one side.
00:28:24Let's look for Arthur.
00:28:28Twinkle, twinkle, little star
00:28:31Way up in the heavens where you are
00:28:34Oh, shine from above
00:28:37Oh, I feel that I'm falling in love
00:28:41Twinkle, twinkle in the sky
00:28:44While I give romance another try
00:28:46Oh, shine, silvery light
00:28:49Oh, I feel that tonight is the night
00:28:52Confidentially
00:28:55Does she care for me?
00:28:58Did I hear you say
00:29:00That everything's okay
00:29:02Oh, that's all I want to know
00:29:05Twinkle, twinkle, little star
00:29:08Way up in the heavens where you are
00:29:10Oh, shine from above
00:29:13Oh, I feel that I'm falling in love
00:29:20Twinkle, twinkle, little star
00:29:22Way up in the heavens where you are
00:29:25Oh, shine from above
00:29:27Oh, I feel that I'm falling in love
00:29:31Twinkle, twinkle in the sky
00:29:34While I give romance another try
00:29:36Oh, shine, silvery light
00:29:38Oh, I feel that tonight is the night
00:29:41Confidentially
00:29:44Does she care for me?
00:29:47Did I hear you say
00:29:50That everything's okay
00:29:52Oh, that's all I want to know
00:29:54Twinkle, twinkle, little star
00:29:57Way up in the heavens where you are
00:29:59Oh, shine from above
00:30:02Oh, I feel that I'm falling in love
00:30:16Hello
00:30:17Yes
00:30:19Oh, hello, Mr. Murdock
00:30:21Yes, I'm going to meet Mr. Connelly tonight
00:30:24Jimmy Maxwell arranged it, isn't that sweet of him?
00:30:29Oh, well
00:30:30I can't talk any longer
00:30:33Don't worry, that contract will be on your desk tomorrow
00:30:36And signed
00:30:38Good night
00:30:49Hello
00:30:58Hello
00:30:59Hello
00:31:01Thank you for the flowers, they're lovely
00:31:03I'm glad you like them
00:31:04Are you ready?
00:31:06I thought perhaps we'd have time for a cocktail
00:31:09Oh, I...
00:31:11If I'd seen you this way the first time
00:31:13My guests would not have been schoolteachers
00:31:16It was nice of you to ask me to join your party
00:31:18With the Connellys tonight
00:31:19Oh, but there's a catch to it
00:31:21You're going to help me get my contract signed
00:31:24What do you want me to do?
00:31:26Carry the dark lantern or do the stabbing?
00:31:28Neither
00:31:29Just be charming
00:31:31As usual
00:31:32Thank you
00:31:34Oh, I'm sorry
00:31:35I'm sorry
00:31:36I'm sorry
00:31:37I'm sorry
00:31:38Thank you
00:31:40Here's to you
00:31:43Here's to the Lone Star State
00:31:46Four more champagne cocktails, please
00:31:48More champagne?
00:31:50All right, but give me whiskey for a chaser
00:31:52You know what happens, Pop, when you mix your drinks
00:31:55When are you coming out to see our fair, Mr. Connelly?
00:31:57You ought to be ashamed of yourself
00:31:59Spending the taxpayers' money on one of them carnivals
00:32:02Oh, it's not a carnival, really
00:32:04It's an exposition of great historical value
00:32:06We're mighty proud of the history of our state, Miss Wilson
00:32:09You should be
00:32:10Well, my own grandfather died in defense of the Alamo
00:32:13Now he...
00:32:14Oh, Pop, you're going to start that again
00:32:16I've heard it a million times
00:32:18That's just the trouble with you young people
00:32:20You've got no reverence for your ancestors
00:32:22All right, Pop, all right, all right
00:32:24Come on, Jimmy
00:32:26I want to talk to an Indian about a blanket
00:32:29We'll see you later at the table
00:32:36I'll be back
00:32:54Isn't it swell here?
00:32:56Yeah
00:32:57You know something, Jimmy?
00:32:58What's that?
00:32:59I'll have Pop go to my club just like this
00:33:02And then when Gus comes around, I'll have him thrown out
00:33:05That's a good idea
00:33:08Well, here's to your Sam Houston
00:33:12I'll bet you've got real pioneer blood in you, Miss Wilson
00:33:15Oh, just call me Judy
00:33:17All right
00:33:19You call me Tex
00:33:20All right, Tex
00:33:25I want you to put this over, Jimmy
00:33:27For the sake of my future
00:33:29Yeah, and mine
00:33:31I want to show Buzz that I don't need him
00:33:35I know that song
00:33:36You want to hear me sing it?
00:33:38Not now, honey
00:33:39Some other time, huh?
00:33:40I did what you wanted me to
00:33:42I got Pop to come here so you could talk to him about Rosero
00:33:45You've got to listen to him
00:33:46All right, all right
00:33:53I love to listen to songs of romance on the radio
00:33:58Beautiful music, oh, how it enchants me when I follow
00:34:03But when I go out dancing, that's when I must have rhythm
00:34:08And when I must have rhythm, I love to dance, too
00:34:13La-dee-da-dee-da-da-da-da
00:34:16To that little odd rhythm
00:34:17La-dee-da-dee-da-da-da
00:34:19La-dee-da-dee-da-da-da
00:34:21To that little odd rhythm
00:34:23La-dee-da
00:34:24It's a swingy thingy that's sure to start
00:34:26A tom-tom beating in your baby's heart
00:34:29La-dee-da-dee-da-da-da
00:34:31To that little odd rhythm
00:34:32La-dee-da-dee-da-da
00:34:34La-dee-da-dee-da-da
00:34:36To that little odd rhythm
00:34:38La-dee-da
00:34:39It's a pruney-tuney full of magic charms
00:34:41To keep your honey happy in your arms
00:34:44It has a sweet strain
00:34:46A sentimental jingle to shoot up
00:34:49And there's a heat strain
00:34:51That puts a little tingle into your shoes
00:34:54La-dee-da-dee-da-da-da
00:34:56To that little odd rhythm
00:34:58La-dee-da-dee-da-da
00:35:00La-dee-da-dee-da-da
00:35:02To that little odd rhythm
00:35:03La-dee-da
00:35:04If you want your baby in the mood for love
00:35:07There's nothing better than a chorus of
00:35:09That little odd rhythm
00:35:10Little odd rhythm too
00:35:30You'll be doing something you'll never regret
00:35:51Think of it
00:35:52Tex Conley
00:35:53In fact, Tex's greatest achievement
00:35:55Oh, uh, by the way
00:35:59Rosero's grandfather
00:36:01Fought in the defense for the Alamo too
00:36:04Judy, you're a salesman
00:36:06I'll back it
00:36:08Good, here
00:36:10Rosero
00:36:13Seems like from the name
00:36:15His grandfather fought against the Alamo
00:36:18Oh, you just got in by mistake
00:36:20Here, right here
00:36:22Signed with a flourish
00:36:24My, what a big thing you're doing
00:36:26Big deal, eh?
00:36:28Fill him up, let's have another round
00:36:30Oh, Mr. Conley, Tex
00:36:33I think you've had enough
00:36:35Enough?
00:36:36Well, I'm just unlimbering my lasso
00:36:38Drinks for everybody
00:36:57It has a sweet thing
00:37:00And a man who tingles
00:37:02To shoe the blues
00:37:04And there's a heat thing
00:37:06Puts a little tingle
00:37:07Into your shoes
00:37:08La-dee-da-boo-dee-da-da-da
00:37:11That little odd rhythm
00:37:12La-dee-ya, la-dee-ya
00:37:13La-dee-da-boo-dee-da-da
00:37:16La-dee-da-boo-dee-da-da
00:37:19La-dee-da-boo-dee-da-da
00:37:21La-dee-da-boo-dee-da-da
00:37:23La-dee-da-boo-dee-da-da
00:37:25La-dee-da-boo-dee-da-da
00:37:27That little odd rhythm
00:37:29It's a fun galaddy
00:37:30And the moves fall out
00:37:32There's nothing
00:37:33That's out of touch with
00:37:34All the little odd rhythm
00:37:36Little odd rhythm
00:37:55♪
00:38:07♪
00:38:09♪
00:38:21Isn't that wonderful?
00:38:22Just listen to the equanimity!
00:38:24You're terrific!
00:38:26You think so?
00:38:27As soon as we get your father to sign my contract,
00:38:29you will be a star!
00:38:30Oh, Jimmy, come on!
00:38:32♪
00:38:39Did you listen to it?
00:38:40Pop, did you hear it?
00:38:42I was great, wasn't I?
00:38:43I'm practically a star!
00:38:45Say, what's wrong with him?
00:38:47Drinking to Sam Houston, I guess.
00:38:49Oh, Pop, look what you've done!
00:38:51For my whole evening!
00:38:52Come on, let's go home!
00:38:54What about Mark?
00:38:55If Mark could only see you now!
00:38:56What?
00:38:57Well, can I help?
00:38:58Oh, that's all right.
00:38:59I can take care of him.
00:39:00Good night, Judy.
00:39:01Good night, Sam.
00:39:02He had a wonderful time!
00:39:04Good night!
00:39:05Good night.
00:39:06Good night.
00:39:07Good night.
00:39:08I can stand a breath of fresh air myself!
00:39:11♪
00:39:26I'm sorry I let you in for all that.
00:39:28Oh, I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
00:39:29You surely did your part.
00:39:31I don't know another girl that will let her evening be spoiled
00:39:33just to help a fellow out.
00:39:34Think nothing of it.
00:39:37It'll be a cinch to get him to sign that contract in the morning.
00:39:42Does signing that contract mean so much to you personally?
00:39:45Does it?
00:39:47It means the difference between success and failure.
00:39:50When I put that over, I'll throw my hat in the air and say,
00:39:52Jimmy, you're going places.
00:39:55Oh, well, you'll go places anyway.
00:39:58Two weeks ago, it meant everything to land it for myself.
00:40:04Now I want it for an entirely different reason.
00:40:08♪
00:40:19After we sign Muzero, all I want to do is to get a peek
00:40:22at Murdoch's face.
00:40:25Next in the bag, kid.
00:40:28Hello, Mr. Connelly?
00:40:29Yeah, this is Jimmy Maxfield.
00:40:31You remember last night?
00:40:33Sure.
00:40:34I hope you're feeling better today.
00:40:35Well, you know, we kind of got separated last night.
00:40:38And I want to talk to you about backing the Rosero show
00:40:41for the Hampstead Exposition.
00:40:42Smear it on plenty.
00:40:44Rosero, Rosero.
00:40:46How many places do they want that fellow?
00:40:48I signed one contract last night.
00:40:50Last night?
00:40:51Yeah, for Bradfield.
00:40:53With your girlfriend.
00:40:54Girlfriend?
00:40:56Now I don't want to hear no more about contracts.
00:40:59But, Mr. Connelly, hello?
00:41:06What happened?
00:41:10What's the matter, Jim?
00:41:19Inhale three times.
00:41:21Exhale three times.
00:41:23Now run around the table once.
00:41:25And keep your mind happy.
00:41:27That is the path to the body beautiful.
00:41:30Now, now touch the floor with your fingers.
00:41:32Did you really think this would make me beautiful, Mr. Allen?
00:41:36Well, surely, Gloria, my system never fails.
00:41:42Allen, I want to talk to you.
00:41:44Well, well, well, well.
00:41:46Imagine seeing you here.
00:41:50I was just giving my secretary a few lessons
00:41:52in how to preserve the body beautiful.
00:41:55Tex Connelly told me he signed a contract with Judy Wilson.
00:41:58Where is she?
00:41:59What's she got to do with this outfit?
00:42:01Who is Judy Wilson?
00:42:03Well, I'm not.
00:42:04Oh, a funny guy, huh? Where is she?
00:42:06I assure you, I have no idea where nor...
00:42:10Listen, you lily-pussed white-lipped phony.
00:42:12I don't mind you topping me in a business deal
00:42:14as long as it's on the up-and-up.
00:42:15I only thought I was gonna sock Joe Allen in the jaw.
00:42:18Now I know I'm gonna...
00:42:19Now you're making a dreadful mistake.
00:42:21I'm not Joe Allen.
00:42:25Now don't you strike me.
00:42:27Honest to goodness, I'm not Joe Allen.
00:42:30I'm only getting paid to act as Allen.
00:42:34Oh, you make a skunk out of yourself
00:42:36for a couple of bucks a week.
00:42:37Well, it was only a temporary arrangement.
00:42:42Here, she's Joe Allen.
00:42:51Jimmy, let me tell you how all this happened.
00:42:54I've been looking for you.
00:42:55Don't bother.
00:42:57I didn't think you'd do this to me.
00:42:59Oh, I didn't mean to.
00:43:01It was my job.
00:43:02It was a business deal.
00:43:04Never mind.
00:43:07Skip it.
00:43:19I have just tendered my resignation.
00:43:23And that's final.
00:43:41Oh, come on, Jimmy.
00:43:42Don't take it to heart so much.
00:43:43That's the third cup of coffee that you didn't drink.
00:43:46Look at me.
00:43:47You know how I feel about you?
00:43:49You know how I feel about you?
00:43:51Look at me.
00:43:52You know how I feel?
00:43:53Look at me.
00:43:54I feel like the knights in the days of old,
00:43:57when kings were kings and queens.
00:43:59They didn't work either.
00:44:01And regarding Ginger and myself, I am the monarch.
00:44:03I keep her under my thumb all the time.
00:44:08All the time.
00:44:13Jimmy, listen to this.
00:44:15Cedar Rosario, whose glorified girls
00:44:17are the sensation of the theatrical world,
00:44:20will arrive today by plane from New York City.
00:44:22Contracts will be signed immediately
00:44:24for a giant spectacle to be presented
00:44:26at the Bradfield Exposition.
00:44:33Come on, let's go.
00:44:34Where are you going?
00:44:35Come on.
00:44:36Oh, I haven't finished my coffee and...
00:44:39Hempstead, 324.
00:44:42What am I talking about?
00:44:43I'll tell you what to say.
00:44:44We've got to stop them from meeting Rosario.
00:44:47The reception committee is waiting, Mr. Murdoch.
00:44:49Well, that's fine.
00:44:53Hello?
00:44:54Ask for Murdoch.
00:44:56Let me talk to Mr. Murdoch.
00:44:57Who's calling, please?
00:44:59Who's calling?
00:45:00Rosario.
00:45:01Yes, you.
00:45:02All right, I'll try, I'll try.
00:45:05This is Mr. Rosario speaking.
00:45:08Mr. Rosario's on the phone.
00:45:13Hello?
00:45:15Hello?
00:45:16Ask him why I didn't meet you.
00:45:18Well, where are you?
00:45:19Is this the way you meet very distinguished visitors?
00:45:22You're in this town?
00:45:24But how did you get here?
00:45:26He wants to know how I got here so soon.
00:45:28Your private plane, you dope.
00:45:30My private plane, you...
00:45:32Of course.
00:45:33Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Rosario.
00:45:36Where are you now?
00:45:37When can I see you?
00:45:38I will see you later in my hotel
00:45:40after I've had a couple of hours of siesta.
00:45:43Well, are you satisfied?
00:45:44That's pretty good.
00:45:45Now listen, you get the reporters and get them out at the airport.
00:45:47I'll see you there.
00:45:48I was expecting that.
00:45:49Hey, you owe me a nickel!
00:45:54Call off the reception.
00:46:13Nice place to have your baggage on the left.
00:46:16Welcome to Texas, Mr. Rosario.
00:46:18Oh, I thank you.
00:46:19Here.
00:46:20Here.
00:46:21Here.
00:46:28Gentlemen, I am ready for the break.
00:46:32You're welcome.
00:46:42Mr. Rosaro, my name is Jimmy Maxwell.
00:46:44Oh, thank you.
00:46:46Get as much as you can, boys.
00:46:48OK, I got it.
00:46:49How about a story?
00:46:50You'll get your story later.
00:46:51Right this way, sir.
00:47:02The whole city is waiting for you, Mr. Rosaro.
00:47:04While the president himself never
00:47:05had the ovation you received, your arrival
00:47:07is the greatest thing that ever happened in Texas.
00:47:10Naturally.
00:47:11Naturally.
00:47:30This way, monsieur.
00:47:34We've got him going, kid.
00:47:35He's as good as ours.
00:47:36All right, I'll go and get the boss to draw up a contract.
00:47:38Boys, boys.
00:47:40I'll get that story in half an hour.
00:47:56Ah, that is beautiful.
00:47:58It reminds me of Park Avenue.
00:48:00Well, that's my fair, and it's all yours.
00:48:03It gives me the great mood.
00:48:04I have the great inspiration.
00:48:06I'll take care of it.
00:48:07I've been working on a couple of angles.
00:48:08Now tell me what you think about it.
00:48:10Your whole show brought out in airplanes.
00:48:12We'll form a Rosaro squadron.
00:48:14Ah, that's marvelous.
00:48:15But I beg your pardon, that is my idea.
00:48:18They're already coming.
00:48:19Is that not so, gentlemen?
00:48:21Right you are, sir.
00:48:22Why, thank you.
00:48:23Well, to top that, we'll get a newsreel shot inside the plane
00:48:26showing the girls.
00:48:27Yes, yes, in rehearsals.
00:48:29Diving off.
00:48:30In bathing suits.
00:48:32Right.
00:48:33That's an intelligentsia's idea.
00:48:36I'll get that.
00:48:40Yes?
00:48:41Mr. Murdock, here to see Mr. Rosaro.
00:48:44Yes, sir.
00:48:45Mr. Rosaro will be busy all day.
00:48:46Do you care to leave a message?
00:48:49Tell him I'll see him in the morning.
00:48:51Yes, sir.
00:48:53Just a newspaper pass.
00:48:56Before your troop gets here, I'll have one of the planes
00:48:58lost in Arizona.
00:49:00I'll get you a headline stretch from coast to coast
00:49:02and border to border with the name of Rosaro
00:49:04splashed in red on every front page in America.
00:49:06My boy, you have the spark of genius.
00:49:08Why, every man, woman, and child in Hempstead
00:49:10will bow to the name of Rosaro.
00:49:12Fine, Hempstead.
00:49:15Hempstead.
00:49:17Say, who are you, anyway?
00:49:20Who am I?
00:49:21Why, I'm the publicity director for the Hempstead exposition.
00:49:23Gentlemen, I am being kidnapped.
00:49:26Do something.
00:49:27Get the police.
00:49:28You are an imposter.
00:49:29Don't you see, Mr. Rosaro?
00:49:30We need you in Hempstead.
00:49:32You need me, yes.
00:49:33Everybody needs me.
00:49:35But you're wasting my time.
00:49:37Look at you, Alan.
00:49:38Don't you see?
00:49:39I am in the wrong place.
00:49:40I have imported you from England.
00:49:42Oh, what is the matter?
00:49:44If you come with us, we'll give you 50% of the gross.
00:49:46No one can top our offer.
00:49:48Think of the profit.
00:49:49No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:49:51With us, you stand a chance to make more money
00:49:53than you'll make in your whole life.
00:49:55No.
00:49:56Why should I?
00:49:57Oh.
00:49:58So the great Rosaro's afraid to gamble.
00:50:00He has to have money to guarantee people coming to see his show.
00:50:03Huh.
00:50:04You're not great.
00:50:06You're just a name, no backbone.
00:50:08You lack the courage that made men like Ziegfeld,
00:50:10Barnum, Shakespeare.
00:50:15They were showmen.
00:50:20Throw him out.
00:50:21Lift him up.
00:50:22Throw him out.
00:50:23Extort him.
00:50:25Lift him up.
00:50:26Throw him out.
00:50:27Exterminate him.
00:50:28Don't you see I am in trouble?
00:50:30We go in home immediately.
00:50:32Take the bags.
00:50:33Go on.
00:50:34Don't you see I am in trouble?
00:50:35Leave him in the room.
00:50:36Give over.
00:50:37Oh.
00:50:38Oh.
00:50:39No.
00:50:40His pill.
00:50:41Oh.
00:50:42Ziegfeld.
00:50:43Shakespeare.
00:50:44Barnum circles.
00:50:48Oh.
00:50:56Oh.
00:51:20Yes, sir.
00:51:21Whiskey.
00:51:23Straight.
00:51:26But the maestro is not himself.
00:51:32Rosie.
00:51:36So, where were you?
00:51:38Why weren't you there?
00:51:39Don't you know I was almost kidnapped?
00:51:41Oh, wait a minute, Rosie.
00:51:42I can explain.
00:51:43No, no, no.
00:51:44It is too late now.
00:51:45I go home.
00:51:46I go home immediately.
00:51:47I quit.
00:51:48Gentlemen's back.
00:51:50Right you are, sir.
00:51:52You'll do nothing of the kind.
00:51:54You can't afford to pass up an opportunity like this.
00:51:56You'll stay right here and make a fortune.
00:51:58No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:51:59I am finished.
00:52:01All right.
00:52:02All right.
00:52:03We'll go back together.
00:52:07I just walked out on my job.
00:52:09You?
00:52:10Why did you walk out?
00:52:13I'd rather not talk about it.
00:52:18Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:52:20Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:52:22No.
00:52:23Don't tell on him.
00:52:25He will tell you.
00:52:27Good love.
00:52:30That's right.
00:52:32Is he a nice man?
00:52:34You ought to know.
00:52:35He was just here.
00:52:37You mean?
00:52:38Jimmy Maxwell.
00:52:40That lunatic!
00:52:42He's a swell guy.
00:52:51Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta.
00:52:54Love is such a beautiful thing, huh?
00:53:00Oh, Rose.
00:53:08Now, now, now.
00:53:10This is not that you all and I knew.
00:53:15Now listen to me.
00:53:16You cannot quit now.
00:53:17You got a lot of work to do.
00:53:19You got a lot of publicity.
00:53:20Come, come, come.
00:53:21Let's get busy.
00:53:24I can't.
00:53:25Oh, Rosie, don't you see?
00:53:27With our show put on for Murdoch, that's Jimmy's finish.
00:53:36It's come.
00:53:37It's come.
00:53:38My show is here.
00:53:40Oh, this is beautiful.
00:53:42My show is here.
00:53:44Beautiful.
00:53:45Come, gentlemen.
00:53:46Come.
00:53:47Come.
00:53:48Come.
00:53:54Only you, my sir, can think of an idea like this.
00:53:56Yes.
00:53:57Please remind me to remember to promise you to raise your salary.
00:54:00Right you are, sir.
00:54:01I thank you.
00:54:02Joe.
00:54:03Joe.
00:54:04Come here.
00:54:05Come.
00:54:06Look at this.
00:54:07Oh, come, come.
00:54:08Look.
00:54:10My.
00:54:19My.
00:54:26I've spent four days searching for Jimmy.
00:54:28In fact, I've looked every place but the barn.
00:54:31And I know he's not there because he hates the neighborhood.
00:54:33Gentlemen, we've got to find him.
00:54:36Maybe he went to Mesopotamia.
00:54:38Mesopot...
00:54:39Where's that?
00:54:41On the third page of the tourist guide.
00:54:43How should I know where it is?
00:54:49Well, look who's here.
00:54:52I've searched every club, jail, press room, and bar looking for you, young fellow.
00:54:56You should have looked where you wouldn't expect to find me.
00:54:59Where have you been?
00:55:01Ah, what does it matter?
00:55:03That's a fine thing.
00:55:04Just a minute.
00:55:05Get yourself another guy.
00:55:06Now listen, Jimmy, you can't do that.
00:55:07I am through getting out.
00:55:08Washed up.
00:55:09Or do I make myself clear?
00:55:10Hold on, Jimmy.
00:55:11Now don't get so excited.
00:55:12Let's talk this thing over sanely.
00:55:14So you are here.
00:55:15Why did you walk off on my show?
00:55:17I never was so insulted in my life.
00:55:20What are you doing here?
00:55:22What I am doing here?
00:55:24You asking me?
00:55:27You want me to come?
00:55:28Here I am.
00:55:29The show's all ready to open.
00:55:30Where is my build-up?
00:55:31Where is my publicity?
00:55:33Say, what is this, a gag?
00:55:35Gag nothing.
00:55:36You sold him.
00:55:39Is this on the level?
00:55:41That's what we've been trying to tell you all the time.
00:55:45Come on and let's go to town.
00:56:16Come, everybody, get dressed.
00:56:18Ready for the opening.
00:56:19Now hurry, girls.
00:56:20Make it snappy.
00:56:22We're all ready, Mr. Rosero.
00:56:23Why, thank you.
00:56:26Now remember, my dear,
00:56:28this is one of the most wonderful moments of your life.
00:56:31Oh, thank you, maestro.
00:56:33I know you're on the way for a big success.
00:56:36You, you really think so?
00:56:38I am positive.
00:56:40Oh, maestro.
00:56:43Look at that crowd.
00:56:44You certainly know how to pull them in.
00:56:47Yeah, don't I?
00:56:50So here you are, my little children.
00:56:52Now don't forget to remember to give me that Broadway type.
00:56:55Yes, Mr. Rosero.
00:56:56And now, go.
00:56:59Pardon, sir.
00:57:00The arrangements have been made as you desired.
00:57:02And here are the tickets, sir.
00:57:03Why, thank you.
00:57:05Music!
00:57:14Music!
00:57:15Music!
00:57:44Music!
00:57:45Music!
00:57:46Music!
00:57:47Music!
00:57:49Music!
00:58:13Ginger, Ginger, you're all next!
00:58:17I'm not ready.
00:58:18You must! Come on!
00:58:20Ginger!
00:58:26Ginger, you've got to choose right now between me and this so-called career of yours.
00:58:31But, Fuzz, this is my big chance.
00:58:34Now or never, Miss Connery.
00:58:37Maybe you're right.
00:58:38All right, Fuzz, I'll marry you.
00:58:41Hey, what are you doing here standing like this?
00:58:44Why don't you go to her?
00:58:45Here, here's a ticket. Next to her.
00:58:49You mean she's out there?
00:58:50Yeah, she's out there.
00:58:52And I am here, not out of you two lunatics.
00:58:59Why do I waste my time playing cupids?
00:59:15THE END
