00:00:56 [Indistinct Chatter]
00:01:02 And then walk up around the bend. Have you got it?
00:01:04 Jack, let me know whenever you're ready.
00:01:06 Mr. Lane, I got those 200 extras for tomorrow.
00:01:10 I want 500.
00:01:11 The boss says yes, these rushes are out of focus. Now watch it, will you?
00:01:15 Oh, Bob.
00:01:16 I'm glad you're here. Poor Sal's kicking about her lines. We may have to rewrite some of them.
00:01:22 Who does she think she is?
00:01:23 I don't know who she thinks she is, but whoever she thinks she is, I don't think so. Stick around.
00:01:26 Now boys, I'll hear that song while we're waiting for Miss Marcelle.
00:01:29 Say, Ken, see what you think of these new lyrics.
00:01:32 All right, girls. You know. Be ready.
00:01:35 [Music]
00:01:42 Let's fall in love. Why shouldn't we fall in love? Our hearts are made of it. Let's take a chance. Why be afraid of it?
00:01:59 Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise. Little we know of it, still we can try to make a go of it.
00:02:16 We might have been meant for each other to be or not to be. Let our hearts discover.
00:02:36 Let's fall in love. Why shouldn't we fall in love? Now is the time for it while we are young. Let's fall in love.
00:02:58 Let's fall in love. Why shouldn't we fall in love? Our hearts are made of it. Let's take a chance. Why be afraid of it?
00:03:15 Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise. Little we know of it, still we can try to make a go of it.
00:03:32 We might have been meant for each other to be or not to be. Let our hearts discover.
00:03:53 Let's fall in love. Why shouldn't we fall in love? Now is the time for it while we are young. Let's fall in love.
00:04:16 Oh, that's beautiful. That's fine, boys. That's great. You really mean it, Ken? You bet. Thanks a lot.
00:04:21 How stupid. I've told you a hundred times not to let anybody into the dressing room. But you told me.
00:04:38 I told you in the morning I must be alone. I cannot think when everybody bothers me.
00:04:44 But you said it was about the song. I don't care what you said. When I tell you I don't want to see nobody, I don't want to see nobody.
00:04:52 Nobody worries about me. I have to learn my lines. I have to learn the song. I have to worry about my clothes.
00:04:59 Hey, Priscilla's on the walk. Boy, is she burned. All the time everybody's bothering me.
00:05:06 All right. Get the lights, boys. Good morning, dear. What's good about it?
00:05:11 Well, maybe I'm wrong. All set, Chuck? Okay.
00:05:15 Sound ready? Okay. Ready?
00:05:24 There.
00:05:25 Ready.
00:05:32 Wait.
00:05:37 Ken.
00:05:39 Who are these two women sitting over there?
00:05:47 Well, that's the wife and daughter of Henry Tuttle. He owns a big chain of theaters in the Middle West.
00:05:52 Let them sit in the theaters, then. Not here. I do not work with people visiting on the set. You know that. Make them go outside.
00:05:59 All right, darling. All right.
00:06:02 Boy, I like that Chuck. That's sweet.
00:06:05 Chuck, will you ask those two ladies sitting over there to please leave the set and do it nicely, will you?
00:06:10 All right. Here we go again. On your toes, everybody. Camera.
00:06:13 A thousand times I've told them not to let anybody on the set. Drives me crazy.
00:06:18 Camera.
00:06:20 Tell me again that you love me. Tell me so I really believe it.
00:06:25 Here in Sweden we say that man's heart is meld with the snows in springtime.
00:06:32 But that love dies in the autumn time.
00:06:36 My love for you will never die.
00:06:38 Oh, then kiss me again.
00:06:42 Make me sure.
00:06:45 Make me very sure.
00:06:48 Cut.
00:06:49 Now what's the matter?
00:06:53 It's bunk. The whole thing is bunk.
00:06:56 But sweetheart.
00:06:58 I don't feel it. I won't play it.
00:07:00 But sweetheart, the scene was okay. It sounded all right to me.
00:07:04 I don't care what you think. I do not play it.
00:07:08 Such words, such lines. Makes me laugh.
00:07:14 Where is the fool who wrote them? I could kill him.
00:07:17 Let your people go.
00:07:21 Send for Max Hopper.
00:07:23 Yes. Send for him. I'll tell him.
00:07:27 I'd a cigarette.
00:07:32 It's the biggest picture of my career.
00:07:36 Two hundred percent.
00:07:40 It's the biggest picture of my career.
00:07:42 Two hundred thousand before we even started shooting.
00:07:45 All right, all right. It's shooting, ain't it?
00:07:48 With a great director and a great actress. What more do you want?
00:07:51 Mr. Lane wants to see you on the set.
00:07:55 He's having trouble with Forsell.
00:07:57 Before Max gets here, I want to make a prediction for you, Forsell.
00:08:04 In a couple of years you'll be back in that drugstore window
00:08:08 where I found you demonstrating hair tonic.
00:08:10 That's where you belong.
00:08:13 At least you knew something about that.
00:08:15 Oh, yeah.
00:08:17 The biggest mistake of my life was to drag you out of there and make a star of you.
00:08:20 What's the matter? What's the matter? What's the matter?
00:08:22 The matter is that I don't go on with this picture.
00:08:26 What's wrong with it?
00:08:28 I can't play it. I can't sing that song. The whole thing is stupid. I quit.
00:08:31 Wait a minute, Hedwig. Stop kidding.
00:08:34 I'm not kidding. I can't play it. I quit.
00:08:37 You can't walk out now.
00:08:39 Come on, be sensible. Aren't you going to play ball with us?
00:08:42 I don't play ball with nobody. I go home.
00:08:46 Wait a minute, Hedwig. Be sensible. Listen to me.
00:08:50 You can't quit this picture now.
00:08:53 Look at all these people. They all depend on you.
00:08:56 We've got a lot of money invested here.
00:08:59 Look at all these boys. If you quit, they are going to lose their jobs.
00:09:04 Come on, be a good girl. I'm talking to you like your father.
00:09:07 My father is in Sweden.
00:09:10 What are we going to do?
00:09:13 Well, find me a new script and maybe I'll do it.
00:09:18 So I get you a new script. How long would it take?
00:09:21 It won't take a minute because we're not going to have a new script.
00:09:24 You'll play this one or nothing.
00:09:26 Now I know what you can do and what you can't do.
00:09:28 And what you can't do would fill volumes.
00:09:30 You've been getting away with murder long enough around here and I'm sick of it.
00:09:33 Now, wait a minute.
00:09:34 Who does she think she is anyway? I taught her everything she knows.
00:09:37 I made a star of her.
00:09:39 Well, she's getting a salary now that sounds like a war debt.
00:09:41 What do you think I'm going to do? Stand around here and play wet nurse to a flat-footed Swede?
00:09:44 Now I go back to Sweden.
00:09:46 Now, wait a minute. He didn't mean what he said.
00:09:48 And what's more, I take the next boat and never come back.
00:09:51 Go on.
00:09:53 Do you know that it's enough to break your heart?
00:10:02 You take a girl like that out of the gutter.
00:10:04 You build her up. You make her a star.
00:10:06 And then what does it get you?
00:10:08 Well, we'll have to dig up somebody else, I guess.
00:10:12 I got an idea.
00:10:19 Right in this studio we've got a couple of girls who can do this part beautifully.
00:10:23 Mary Chandler, for instance.
00:10:25 Mary Chandler? Are you crazy? We've got to have a Swede to talk about Mary Chandler.
00:10:28 Well, she's an actress, isn't she?
00:10:31 I saw her giving a beautiful...
00:10:32 Number one, Mary Chandler comes from Brooklyn.
00:10:34 Number two, she's Irish. Number three, her name is Moriarty.
00:10:36 And nobody by the name of Moriarty can look like a Swede.
00:10:39 No, Max. This is a Swedish picture. We've got to have a Swede.
00:10:42 Well, then it's better if I call the whole picture off.
00:10:46 Now, Max, you wouldn't do that.
00:10:49 Wouldn't I? Just watch me.
00:10:52 With me, I got a motto.
00:10:54 Don't throw good money after bad.
00:10:58 All right, Max. I'll get somebody to play this part if I have to search 24 hours a day.
00:11:02 But don't call the picture off. This means a lot to me, Max.
00:11:05 I've been fooling around with this idea for five years.
00:11:07 Now, listen. I've turned a lot of box office matches for you the last year, haven't I?
00:11:12 Three in a row, three in a row the last year.
00:11:14 Well, then take my word for it, Max. This picture's going to be a sensation.
00:11:17 Right. Get Minnelli in here and Garland.
00:11:21 Get them to send out a call for every Swedish actress in Hollywood.
00:11:24 Tell them it's a chance of a lifetime.
00:11:27 I'll see each one of them personally.
00:11:30 Somewhere in that mob, there is a new star waiting to be discovered.
00:11:34 Minnelli, tomorrow morning, send out a call for every Swedish actress in Hollywood.
00:11:39 Garland, start a big publicity campaign.
00:11:42 Kenneth Flaym is looking for a Swede. Make it big.
00:11:45 As long as she's Swedish, you can do with her anything you want, and I hope you'll find her.
00:11:51 That a boy.
00:11:53 I'll teach that forcella lesson.
00:11:56 You're right.

00:12:29 (Music)
00:12:33 (Music)
00:12:35 (Music)
00:12:38 Take it easy, Max. Have a little patience.
00:12:41 Patience? It's already two weeks, and the salaries are going down.
00:12:45 Why must you be so stubborn? Why can't you take an American girl?
00:12:49 Because I'm going to find a Swede.
00:12:51 I don't understand why should her sex be so important?
00:12:54 Another truckload of Swedes just back into the casting office.
00:12:56 All right, wash them and send them in.
00:12:58 Any good faces?
00:13:00 Good to wipe pens on.
00:13:01 Well, come on, we might as well look them over.
00:13:02 I've been looking them over for the last two weeks.
00:13:03 Anyway, there are a lot of pheasants.
00:13:05 Not pheasants, peasants.
00:13:06 All right, peasants. It's a waste of time and money.
00:13:09 Well, now, we're not going to quit at this stage of the game.
00:13:11 We'll find a Swede if it takes you all last nickel.
00:13:13 Darling, will you stop worrying?
00:13:24 Or what gets up into a decline?
00:13:26 I'm in one right now. I'm up to my neck in Swedes.
00:13:28 They're in my hair. I've seen thousands the last two weeks.
00:13:31 How many more are there have you seen?
00:13:32 Thousands.
00:13:34 And then you'll get to the end of all the Swedes in the world.
00:13:36 Perhaps you'll find time for me.
00:13:38 Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I didn't mean to break that appointment.
00:13:41 That appointment?
00:13:43 You've broken two appointments with me in the last week.
00:13:45 Well, you know, honey, I'm in a mess.
00:13:46 You see, it was really my fault that Forcel quit.
00:13:48 Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean to complain.
00:13:50 Oh, it's all right.
00:13:52 Let's forget about it.
00:13:53 Sure, you bet.
00:13:54 Look, Alan and Linda are coming this afternoon,
00:13:55 and we can all go to the circus.
00:13:56 Oh, not me. I've got to go back to the studio
00:13:58 and look at some more Swedes.
00:14:00 Oh, listen, darling, you'll have a nervous breakdown.
00:14:02 Why don't you put your foot down?
00:14:04 Well, if I did, I'd probably step on another Swede.
00:14:06 Well, don't argue with me. You're going to the circus.
00:14:09 (CHATTERING)
00:14:38 (ALL LAUGHING)
00:14:39 And again, do it again.
00:14:44 No!
00:14:46 (ALL LAUGHING)
00:14:51 (SPEAKING IN ITALIAN)
00:14:55 Two beautiful girls fall out of bed.
00:15:00 Here you are, on the trip of my sins.
00:15:02 (SPEAKING IN ITALIAN)
00:15:04 Oui.
00:15:07 (SPEAKING IN ITALIAN)
00:15:08 Oui.
00:15:11 Something tells me you haven't the slightest idea
00:15:14 of what I'm talking about.
00:15:16 Oui.
00:15:17 Oui.
00:15:18 You know that dialect, don't you, fool?
00:15:20 You're not really French.
00:15:23 Oh, sure, I'm French.
00:15:24 My mother was Dutch and my father was a plumber.
00:15:26 Well, that makes you French.
00:15:29 Where did you learn it?
00:15:31 Oh, I don't know. I just picked it up.
00:15:33 I lived in one of those neighborhoods.
00:15:35 Oh, I see.
00:15:37 Say, look, I've got a crazy idea.
00:15:38 I want to ask you something.
00:15:41 Have you ever thought of going into the movies?
00:15:43 I get it.
00:15:47 The old movie line.
00:15:49 "If I'm a nice girl and behave myself,
00:15:52 "you know what you're going to do for me?
00:15:55 "You're going to make a great big star out of me.
00:15:57 "We'll save your breath, mister, I know all the answers."
00:16:00 And for a minute, I was just thinking
00:16:05 that you were going to put that other old gag on me,
00:16:06 that you remember my face from somewhere.
00:16:08 I can't remember your face,
00:16:12 but your manners are familiar.
00:16:14 That goes for me, too, scram.
00:16:16 You know, you're cute at that.
00:16:19 Here you are, the latest importation from Paris.
00:16:21 Here you are, only three for five cents.
00:16:24 Come on, Ken, they're just talking.
00:16:26 We don't want to miss anything.
00:16:28 Oh, all right, then, all right.
00:16:30 Well, if it ain't Dick Deadeye.
00:16:31 Come back for more practice?
00:16:33 No.
00:16:35 I've been thinking about you since I left.
00:16:37 I came back to find out why.
00:16:40 Sorry, I'm closing up.
00:16:42 Haven't you got a home?
00:16:44 I still think you ought to go in the movies.
00:16:48 I'm not going to go.
00:16:51 I'm going to go to the movies.
00:16:53 I'm going to go to the movies.
00:16:55 I'm going to go to the movies.
00:16:58 What studio do you own?
00:16:59 None.
00:17:01 Oh, let me introduce myself.
00:17:03 My name is Kenneth Lane.
00:17:05 Really?
00:17:07 Mm-hmm.
00:17:09 Oh, I've been reading about you.
00:17:11 Did you find your sweet yet?
00:17:13 That's what I want to talk to you about.
00:17:15 Me?
00:17:19 Mm-hmm. I'm on the level about this.
00:17:21 Look, are you through here tonight?
00:17:27 Yeah.
00:17:28 Do you mind if I see you home?
00:17:30 Okay.
00:17:33 I'll be right out.
00:17:35 Well, here's where I live.
00:17:55 Good night, Mr. Lane, and thanks a lot.
00:17:56 Can I make you change your mind?
00:17:58 No.
00:18:00 Do you realize the chance you are throwing away?
00:18:02 Wouldn't you like to be like Norma Shearer or Joan Crawford?
00:18:04 With your name up there in electric lights?
00:18:06 A celebrity, adored by the world?
00:18:08 Sorry, it doesn't mean a thing to me.
00:18:10 You're certainly a rare specimen.
00:18:12 You know, I wouldn't mind if I didn't know you were the girl for this party.
00:18:15 But how do you know?
00:18:17 I've been watching you.
00:18:19 I've been watching you.
00:18:21 I've been watching you.
00:18:24 How do you know?
00:18:25 Well, how do you know anything?
00:18:27 Why do you meet somebody for the first time and know you're going to fall in love with them?
00:18:30 How do you know that somebody's looking at you?
00:18:33 You turn around and there they are.
00:18:35 I know what it is.
00:18:37 Instinct, hunch, feeling, call it anything you like.
00:18:40 It doesn't mean much, but I believe in it.
00:18:44 And it works.
00:18:46 Gee, I wish I could get that excited about something.
00:18:50 You can't be happy without some definite interest in life.
00:18:53 Something to shoot at.
00:18:54 Boy, this is your chance, Jean.
00:18:57 Gee.
00:19:00 You're so confident, it's kind of tough to turn you down.
00:19:06 You're not going to turn me down.
00:19:08 You're going to do this for me.
00:19:10 But I never acted and this girl's supposed to be Swedish.
00:19:14 Now, now, don't you worry about that.
00:19:16 I'll take care of that. I'll teach you how to act.
00:19:18 I'll put you with a Swedish family and you can pick up the accent that way.
00:19:22 And they'll teach you enough of the language to get by.
00:19:24 But one thing's important now.
00:19:27 We must keep this a secret.
00:19:30 Secret?
00:19:32 Yeah, you see, I put myself in the spot by insisting on a Swede and I've got to deliver one.
00:19:37 You're going to be a Swede.
00:19:39 We'll never get away with it.
00:19:42 Oh, yes we will. Just watch me.
00:19:45 Okay?
00:19:47 Okay.
00:19:51 Okay.
00:19:52 Hello, Maxi.
00:20:00 How are you this beautiful morning?
00:20:02 Hello, Ken.
00:20:04 Now look here, my friend.
00:20:06 This time I'm going to be very calm.
00:20:09 I'm not going to say a word about all the time you wasted.
00:20:12 I'm not going to say a word about New York office which is wiring me every day.
00:20:16 That I am not talking about.
00:20:19 But where is that Swede you were going to get for me?
00:20:21 I'll get him, Max. I haven't lost hope yet.
00:20:24 Hope? Hope you can lose. That I don't mind.
00:20:27 I am talking about money.
00:20:29 You can drive me only that far and no further.
00:20:32 The time has come to make a decision.
00:20:35 We are going to put that picture on the shelves.
00:20:38 No hard feelings. Just forget about it.
00:20:41 And in the meantime, I've got a great story for you.
00:20:45 A magnificent story.
00:20:48 You can go on looking for your Swede.
00:20:49 Look for her in every drugstore you want.
00:20:51 It's no business of mine what you are doing with your evenings.
00:20:54 But make for me another picture.
00:20:57 I've got to think of my production.
00:20:59 Max, Max, be careful. Your high blood pressure.
00:21:01 I ain't got no blood pressure and besides it ain't high, it's low.
00:21:04 It's high. It's high. It's high. It's low.
00:21:06 Why should I worry? It's your blood pressure.
00:21:08 Now blood pressure or no blood pressure, please do me a favor and read that script.
00:21:13 No, Max. I won't start another picture till I finish this one.
00:21:17 But when you are going to finish it?
00:21:18 Already we've put in 300,000 of it.
00:21:21 300,000, eh? Well, I put my heart and soul into it.
00:21:24 I planned it. I've lived with it. And I won't be sidetracked.
00:21:27 I do this one or none.
00:21:30 Look here.
00:21:33 No actor or no director is going to bulldoze me.
00:21:37 I am the boss of this studio.
00:21:39 You either do what I say or I tear up your contract.
00:21:42 All right, tear it up.
00:21:44 I am tearing it up with my own hands.
00:21:46 Good.
00:21:47 Now wait a minute. Now Ken.
00:21:49 Now Ken, what are you so excited about?
00:21:52 I can't help it, Max. Your blood pressure is too much for me.
00:21:56 My friend, all I was asking you is to read that script for me.
00:22:00 And you fly right off your handlebars.
00:22:02 Can friends talk business without either way quitting, tearing up contracts?
00:22:06 We are pals, ain't we?
00:22:08 Sure we are. Sure.
00:22:10 You going to play ball with me?
00:22:12 Sure. But we are going to play ball with my story.
00:22:15 Yes, yes.
00:22:16 But in the meantime, read that script for me.
00:22:20 Will it make you happy if I do?
00:22:22 It will make me very happy.
00:22:24 Okay, I'll read it.
00:22:26 Hello, Mr. Lee.
00:22:44 Come inside, please.
00:22:45 This is Jean, the girl I was telling you about. Jean, this is Mrs. Bjorkman.
00:22:47 How do you do?
00:22:49 Welcome to our home. Give me the bag.
00:22:51 Thanks, Lisa.
00:22:53 Swatter, the girl is here. She has come.
00:22:56 Hello, Swatter. How are you?
00:22:59 Hello.
00:23:01 I hope you like to live with us. We explain people.
00:23:04 Sure she will. She'll be fine.
00:23:07 Now, Lisa, you understand what we have to do?
00:23:10 I make Swedish girl out of her.
00:23:13 That's right.
00:23:14 And I can't tell you how important this is to me.
00:23:16 You're sure?
00:23:18 Now, we mustn't lose much time.
00:23:20 That depends on Jean. If she works hard...
00:23:22 Oh, I'll work hard.
00:23:24 Of course she will. You won't fail me.
00:23:26 Now, this means a lot to me, Jean. And to you.
00:23:28 I know it does.
00:23:31 You'll come through. I'm certain of it.
00:23:33 You stay for supper?
00:23:35 Now, Swatter, I'm sorry. I've got to run along.
00:23:37 Now, Lisa, I want you to teach Jean all the Swedish you can.
00:23:40 You know, customs manners, all.
00:23:42 Ja, ja.
00:23:43 Ja, ja, that's good.
00:23:45 Yes, as you taught me before.
00:23:47 Well, goodbye, Jean. Good luck.
00:23:49 Everything's going to be fine.
00:23:51 I hope so.
00:23:53 Sure.
00:23:55 Goodbye, Anna.
00:23:57 Goodbye.
00:23:58 Goodbye.
00:23:59 Goodbye.
00:24:00 Goodbye.

00:25:00 Do you really think so?
00:25:03 You must have worked hard.
00:25:05 Only five weeks. That's no long time for to learn Swedish.
00:25:08 Keep it up, Jean. Keep it up.
00:25:10 You bet I will. You're really pleased.
00:25:13 Oh, I certainly am. I can't tell you how pleased.
00:25:16 Now, I must run along.
00:25:18 Goodbye, Mr. Lane.
00:25:20 Mr. Lane?
00:25:22 Call me Ken.
00:25:24 Goodbye, Ken.
00:25:28 Goodbye, kid.
00:25:31 Get your chin up.
00:25:34 Did you hear that, Lisa?
00:25:36 Call him Ken. And enlighten him.
00:25:39 Give me that newspaper.
00:25:42 I'll read it so fast that even you can understand it.
00:25:45 [Speaking in Swedish]
00:25:47 Really? Oh, that's fine. Great.
00:26:01 Say, listen, I want you to give a party.
00:26:03 A party? A Swedish party?
00:26:06 Yes, I want you to ask some Swedish people.
00:26:09 I want to see how she stands up under it.
00:26:12 Oh, yes, sure.
00:26:15 On Thursday I give a Swedish party with Swedish customs.
00:26:19 And I bet you any amount you can tell the difference between here and other Swedes.
00:26:25 On Thursday? Oh, that's fine.
00:26:29 All right, Lisa. Great. Bye-bye.

00:30:05 Gene, I never dreamed you could do it. Oh, I'm so glad. Ken, honestly I prayed not to disappoint you.
00:30:20 Well, we're practically ready to go. In one week you'll make your vow to the picture world. In a week?
00:30:28 Can I do it? You bet you can. Tomorrow we'll go shopping. The best Mode East in California.
00:30:33 Then we'll try you out on my fiancée.
00:30:37 Your, your what? My fiancée, the girl I'm gonna marry, Jerry Marge. Oh, you'll be terribly
00:30:47 fond of her. She's a great girl and once you pass her, you can pass anywhere.
00:30:54 What's the matter? Oh, nothing.
00:30:58 I'm just tired. Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I never know what time it is.
00:31:07 Now you better get some sleep, dear. You'll have another tough day tomorrow.
00:31:18 Good night, Gene. I can't tell you how thrilled I am and how happy it makes me. Thanks, Ken. Good night.
00:31:43 That fellow never lied to you. He never told you he loved you.
00:31:46 All the time he was talking for business only. He never fooled you.
00:31:51 I know. I know.
00:31:56 But I love him. Don't you understand, Lisa? I love him.
00:32:04 I couldn't have done it if I didn't love him. Oh, sure, I understand. You do his part. Now you
00:32:13 must do your part, too. The best thing, you make big success, then he'll be proud of you and maybe
00:32:19 he even loves you.
00:32:21 Oh, Lisa, do you think that would make any difference? Oh, sure. This happens many times.
00:32:36 Maybe when all the men run after him, he comes too.
00:32:40 I know what you mean.
00:32:42 All right. I'll do it.
00:32:50 And I'll make him proud of me.
00:32:54 I'll be the best movie actress in the whole world.
00:33:03 Oh, no, no, Lisa. Oh, no, no, little Flicka, don't cry. No.
00:33:09 Mr. Hopper, you had the right idea when you wanted to call the picture off in the first
00:33:15 place. Just turn good one after bad. My department's like an insane asylum. Just
00:33:19 give a director his head and he'll bankrupt you. Now, don't worry, gentlemen. After he turned us
00:33:24 two girls down, that settled it. When we bring them all the way from New York. In drawing rooms.
00:33:28 Either one of them could have played the part. It's crazy to go on. Adelaide is trying to run
00:33:32 the studio. Two months wasted. What are you going to do about it, Mr. Hopper? Max, our troubles are
00:33:36 over. What have you got to say? I've got a million dollars with a muse for you. I found the suite.
00:33:42 No. Yes, another Hedwig Forcell, only better. Gentlemen, gentlemen, you better let me talk to
00:33:49 him alone. Well, who is she? Oh, Max, the most gorgeous thing in the world. Just the girl we've
00:33:58 been dreaming about. Let me see her. Listen, Max, you've got to help me here, not fight me.
00:34:03 I tell you, this girl's sensation sings like an angel. Well, she doesn't have to act the part.
00:34:08 She's it. So bring her in. That's why you've got to help me. She's over here visiting the World's
00:34:13 Fair with a family, you see. But luckily for us, she's spending a few days in town.
00:34:16 But she doesn't want to go into pictures. That's impossible. Listen, Max, I've used every argument
00:34:21 I know. I talked to her all yesterday afternoon. I begged her. She doesn't want to have any part.
00:34:26 A picture career doesn't interest her. Now, Max, it's up to you. You've got to sell her.
00:34:34 Well, if she's as good as all of that. She's perfect. Now, don't tell me any more about her.
00:34:39 Get her on the telephone. All right, Max. All right, I will.
00:34:41 Give me Rochester, 7552. What's her name? Sigrid Lund. Sigrid Lund. Sigrid Lund.
00:34:53 A Swedish 19-year-old. How's that? That's fine. Just think that one up. Hello. Hello,
00:34:59 Miss Lund, please. Listen, don't say anything about working to her. Now, don't tell me what
00:35:04 to say to her. Hello. Hello, Miss Lund. This is Kenneth Lane talking. Yes. I want to introduce
00:35:10 you to that gentleman. Give it to me. Yes, I want you to meet that gentleman I talked to you about
00:35:16 yesterday, Mr. Max Hopper. Give it to me. Give it to me. All right. Hello. Hello, Miss Lund.
00:35:25 Lund. Hello, Miss Lund. This is Max Hopper talking. Yes, that Max Hopper. So, you heard all about me?
00:35:36 Well, I heard all about you. I thought maybe you'd like to have lunch with us at the studio.
00:35:46 Oh, this is very delightful of you, Mr. Hopper. You are sure you're not tied together for a
00:35:52 conference? Oh, that's lovely. Yeah. Yeah, I would like to see a studio before I'm going home to Sweden.
00:36:04 So, you're coming up? Fine. We are going to have lunch, just three of us, and then I'll show you
00:36:12 the studio. I will be charmed to meet you. Then at one o'clock? Great. I'll see you here. Goodbye.
00:36:21 Splendid, Max. I'm proud of you.
00:36:37 What's that? Caviar? It isn't buckshot. Is it in season? It's always in season. Didn't I tell you
00:36:44 that I want everything out of season? Take it away. Take it away. Half an hour late. Maybe she's
00:36:50 suspicious. Maybe she won't come at all. She's got to come. I've arranged everything for her. I even
00:36:55 got her Swedish cigarettes. Did you ever try one? Yeah, they taste like a motorman's glove. Hello?
00:37:00 Hello, has Miss Lund... Oh, she has. Send her right up. Max, she's here. Now, don't get nervous.
00:37:09 Nervous? Who is getting nervous? Say, don't you worry about me. I know how to handle myself.
00:37:15 Didn't I do all right when Queen Marie was here?
00:37:18 Come in, Miss Lund. It's terribly nice of you.
00:37:46 Oh, uh, this is Mr. Harper, Miss Lund.
00:37:49 Charming.
00:37:52 It's a pleasure.
00:37:56 Well, maybe a little cocktail? No drink, please, but I am starved for hunger. Well, then come along.
00:38:11 Sit down. You will excuse this informal little smack. Snack. I mean a little bite.
00:38:21 What do I mean? Just a simple little meal, out of season. Uh, please, may I help you?
00:38:35 You know something? You would be a sensation in pictures. Oh, so you are starting that talk of pictures.
00:38:51 I told you already, I don't want picture business. Miss Lund is right. We've asked
00:38:57 for the lunch, not to talk business. Please forgive me, Miss Lund. I really didn't mean to
00:39:02 to make you mad, but you see, I am in picture business, and when I look at such a beautiful
00:39:08 girl like you, all I can think of is how wonderful you would be on the screen. But we don't talk
00:39:13 about this anymore. No more. Eat, eat, please. Oh, you are nice for saying this. In Sweden, too, they're
00:39:20 always asking me to go on the films, but I always say no. I'm afraid it's no use, Max. Miss Lund
00:39:26 doesn't care anything about a picture career, so let's not talk about it. Right, right. Miss Lund,
00:39:33 please turn your face a little bit this way. Yes, this way.
00:39:36 Lovely, wonderful. Miss Lund, do me a favor. No, no, no, no, no, we don't talk about this anymore. No, please, eat, eat.
00:39:50 Uh, did you enjoy the World's Fair? Oh, it was grand, big.
00:39:57 Miss Lund, please do me a favor. Just make a test for us, just for fun. A test? Yes. What is this, a test?
00:40:11 Well, you see, you play a little scene before the camera. Even if you don't want a picture,
00:40:15 it's a nice thing to have for your family album. Yes, yes, what's to be afraid of?
00:40:19 Yes.
00:40:19 Do you know who Miss Lund reminds me of? What's the name of that society lady from Bar Harbor?
00:40:29 Oh, Millicent Evans? That's it, Millicent Evans. She does it bad. Millicent Evans is a girl with a lot of money.
00:40:34 Wouldn't consider going into pictures, just like you. But finally she saw a test of herself, and now
00:40:40 she's one of the most outstanding personalities of the screen. And the happiest girl in the world.
00:40:44 You know, you are both, how you say, great salesmen. You begin to make me like a little bit this idea.
00:40:53 Yes? But for money, I am not interested. Good, good, good. Miss Lund, please make a test. When you see
00:41:02 yourself, how lovely you would look on the screen. Say, there isn't a girl in the world who wouldn't
00:41:08 want to be a movie star. Wouldn't you like to see what you look like on the screen? Yeah, I have got
00:41:14 to say that. I would like to see myself once on it. Sure you would. But now, why don't you make
00:41:21 Mr. Harper happy? Well, you are both so kind. Please, Miss Lund, make a test. Will this really make you happy?
00:41:29 Believe me, Miss Lund. Then I make you happy. Thank you, thank you, Miss Lund, thank you. But not with many people.
00:41:39 Just Miss Lane, maybe. Although I get so nervous, I sure be no good. Miss Lund, you can do anything you want.
00:41:46 Make it with Ken, make it in the night time, make it in the day time. You can have the whole studio
00:41:50 to yourself. I am sending for the script of Garden in Sweden right away. I hope I don't disgrace you.
00:41:56 I try for be good. Only my English that is so, how you say, lousy, not?
00:42:04 Say, she is beginning to learn English already. Half an hour with you and anybody could learn it.
00:42:10 All right, boys, you can roll them over now.
00:42:17 Marta, smile for me once before I go. Remember all the happy times we'll have
00:42:32 when I get back to Sweden. I can't think of anything. You'll start to leave me now.
00:42:39 I know something dies inside me when you go away tonight.
00:42:46 But I'll come back, darling. I swear I'll come back. No, you'll never come back. Not ever.
00:42:55 I know this is the end for me. I know. No, no, darling, darling, you mustn't say that.
00:43:04 Don't talk anymore. Kiss me. Kiss me so many times that I will forget everything.
00:43:14 Then go. Go very fast so I won't see you.
00:43:24 Well, my friends, I am speechless. For the first time in my whole life,
00:43:44 I really don't know what to say. Isn't she marvelous? How wonderfully she played it.
00:43:50 So true, so charmingly, so lovely, so sincerely. You mean to tell me, Ken, she never acted before?
00:43:57 Never been on the screen before. She's marvelous.
00:44:01 Well, what do you think? I think you found something.
00:44:07 Do you? That's what. Now listen, Ken, you've got to get me this girl over here to make picture for
00:44:13 us. Oh, I can't, Max. She won't come. She's got to make pictures for us if I have to give her
00:44:17 half of my studio. But Max, you know that she doesn't want to make pictures. Leave it to me,
00:44:21 boy. Leave it to me. I got her to make this test and I'll get her to sign her name on that
00:44:25 contract. You leave it to me. I'll show you. So, hey, wait a minute, boys.
00:44:29 Well, wasn't I right? Weren't you thrilled? Oh, utterly thrilled. You act far better than
00:44:39 you direct. Quite the great lover of the screen, aren't you? Darling, we're not asking about my
00:44:44 acting. This is a cigarettes test. She's great, isn't she? Almost too great. She played that love
00:44:51 scene as though she meant it. That's a great compliment, sweet. And you didn't act as though
00:44:56 you were going to yawn either. Darling, that's all in a day's work, you foolish thing. But she
00:45:02 has played pictures before, hasn't she? In Europe or someplace. No, no, no. She's never been on the
00:45:06 screen before. Oh, I've seen her, I'm sure of it. No, no, never. No. Oh, I've seen that face
00:45:12 somewhere. No, no. Thank you. Please sign here and initial this paragraph. Are you sure you don't
00:45:21 write anything in after secret signs to contract? Don't you worry, Mrs. Bjorkman, don't you worry.
00:45:27 I will feed her the same as if she was my own relative.
00:45:34 Well, did I put it over? Max, you're a genius.
00:45:39 There. This is the last one? That's all, thank you. Send in the publicity department.
00:45:49 Right away we start a nationwide campaign. Right, Mr. Harper. Well, I hope we'll make a lot of
00:45:56 money together. Congratulations. Mr. Harper, only you could make me sign that contract.
00:46:03 You are the greatest salesman in the whole world.
00:46:07 Well, well, tell me, tell me. Don't bother about the coat. Tell me, is it good? For seven years
00:46:32 she signed the contract. Does it take that long? I'm going to be a star. Svante, isn't that exciting?
00:46:37 I'm going to be famous. You should have seen how they were dancing around her and making fuss over
00:46:42 her. Everybody was boy. You're Miss Lind, she's Miss Lind, just as you like it, Miss Lind.
00:46:49 Well, does all this go with the contract? Even more. Oh, Svante, you should have been there.
00:46:57 The way they treated me, just like a queen.
00:47:00 Come here. Come here. Listen to this. It's the song I'm going to sing. You got a record already?
00:47:11 Oh, that studio is wonderful. They made this especially for me to practice with. Here are the words.
00:47:16 Let's fall in love. Houston Mackey. You better let her sing. Your voice isn't even good enough
00:47:26 to sell fish. Well, who wants to sell fish? Let me see.
00:47:30 Oh, Lisa, first in English, then I'll do it in the Swedish. After all, this is the only place I can be myself.
00:47:39 All right? All right. Hold it.
00:47:43 That's the beginning.
00:47:44 I have a feeling, it's a feeling I'm concealing. I don't know why.
00:48:02 It's just a mental incidental sentimental alibi.
00:48:13 But I adore you, so strong for you.
00:48:22 Why go on stalling? I am falling. Love is falling. Why be shy?
00:48:36 Let's fall in love. Why shouldn't we fall in love? Our hearts are made of it. Let's take a chance.
00:48:47 Why be afraid of it? Let's close our eyes and make our own paradise.
00:49:01 Little we know of it, still we can try to make a go of it.
00:49:08 We might have been meant for each other. To be or not to be. Let our hearts discover.
00:49:31 Let's fall in love. Why shouldn't we fall in love? Now is the time for it while we are young.
00:49:44 Let's fall in love.

00:51:09 You sure that's the finest paper you could get?
00:51:12 Yes, Mr. Hopper.
00:51:14 I saw a thicker engraving already.
00:51:17 You can hardly feel it when you run over it with your finger.
00:51:20 That's the most expensive kind.
00:51:21 You sure?
00:51:22 Yes, sir.
00:51:23 Good. Mail it already.
00:51:25 Yes, sir.
00:51:30 [Music]
00:51:36 A silvery moon, a garden oak,
00:51:39 A blue lagoon, a mountain brook,
00:51:43 A pair of hearts, a dream to share,
00:51:47 Love is love anywhere.
00:51:50 A silvery moon, a garden oak,
00:51:53 A blue lagoon, a mountain brook,
00:51:57 A pair of hearts, a dream to share,
00:52:01 Love is love anywhere.
00:52:04 A pair of lips, a pair of eyes,
00:52:08 All those trips to paradise,
00:52:11 Stars above, love is king,
00:52:14 Peace to love, of thee we sing.
00:52:18 A happiness, a lucky boy,
00:52:21 A little kiss, a whirl of joy,
00:52:25 When hearts are free and skies are fair,
00:52:29 Love is love anywhere.
00:52:39 [Applause]
00:52:42 You see, I'm making a picture about a bus.
00:52:44 Sorry.
00:52:45 Miss London Harpier, here.
00:52:46 Oh, excuse me, folks.
00:52:47 She's here.
00:52:48 Ah, she's here.
00:52:49 I'm so sorry.
00:52:50 Hello, hello, Sigrid.
00:52:52 I'm so glad to see you.
00:52:53 Jerry, how are you?
00:52:55 You look so charming.
00:52:57 Hello, Ken.
00:52:58 Good evening.
00:52:59 Come right in.
00:53:00 Not tomorrow, folks.
00:53:01 Yeah?
00:53:02 Uh...
00:53:03 Thank you.
00:53:04 I thank you.
00:53:05 Oh, Sigrid, you look so lovely.
00:53:09 You look so charming, just like a picture.
00:53:12 Come along, Sigrid.
00:53:13 I want you to meet, uh...
00:53:15 How do you do, Miss London?
00:53:16 Glad to see you.
00:53:17 I want you to meet newspaper friends of mine,
00:53:20 Miss Agatha Holmes.
00:53:21 Oh, I'm so happy to meet you, my dear.
00:53:23 You are lovely.
00:53:24 You're perfectly beautiful.
00:53:25 Uh, Mr. Rowan Markwell.
00:53:27 And Mr. Archie Frost.
00:53:30 And this is Sigrid Larkin.
00:53:34 What is that?
00:53:36 Hello, Ken.
00:53:37 Hello, Agatha.
00:53:38 How are you?
00:53:39 Nice to see you.
00:53:40 Hello, Ken.
00:53:41 How are you?
00:53:42 Hello, Ken.
00:53:43 Thanks very much, sir.
00:53:44 No, it's all right.
00:53:45 No, thanks.
00:53:46 Oh, Ken.
00:53:47 Boy, you sure can pick 'em.
00:53:48 You know, I think I'll write an article about you, Sandy.
00:53:50 Oh.
00:53:51 Ken Lane, the uncoverer of stardust.
00:53:53 Oh, well, how could you miss Miss Sigrid?
00:53:55 I just happened to see her first, that's all.
00:53:57 Well, at last we meet, Sigrid.
00:53:59 My dear, I've written a lot about you for my paper,
00:54:01 but I certainly had to wait a long time to meet you.
00:54:04 That goes for me, too, Miss London.
00:54:06 How'd you like that spread I gave you in my column?
00:54:09 Thank you for all being so sweet to me.
00:54:12 Maybe later we'll have a chance to get together.
00:54:14 I'd like to run an interview.
00:54:15 Yeah.
00:54:16 We have a little talk sometimes.
00:54:18 Oh, that'd be swell.
00:54:19 She's a sweet girl.
00:54:20 Doing all right, isn't she?
00:54:25 Well, there's no way to...
00:54:27 Come on, let's get a drink.
00:54:28 Isn't she simply adorable?
00:54:33 Don't you just love that accent?
00:54:35 You know, this is a very peculiar business.
00:54:40 Oh, hello, Ken.
00:54:42 I was ready to call the whole picture off,
00:54:44 but Ken made me change my mind.
00:54:46 He talked me into it.
00:54:49 Here, Mr. Clayton.
00:54:50 Fill this up, will you?
00:54:51 Go easy, Jerry.
00:54:52 Oh, don't mind me. I can carry it.
00:54:54 Hello, Art.
00:54:55 Hello, Jerry.
00:54:56 Cindy, you know Art Jarrett,
00:54:57 the man who wrote those beautiful songs for Penn's picture.
00:54:59 He's a close art.
00:55:00 How do you do?
00:55:01 How do you do?
00:55:02 You know Alan Foster?
00:55:03 Oh, yeah, Alan.
00:55:04 Sit with me, I want to...
00:55:05 We'd love to hear some of your songs.
00:55:07 I'd be glad to sing a few.
00:55:08 Hello, Art.
00:55:09 Hello, Ken.
00:55:10 Oh, hello.
00:55:11 You're at this party, too?
00:55:12 Oh, darling, I'm sorry I got stuck over there with those reporters.
00:55:15 When we go back to table seven.
00:55:16 Well, if you can find time for us.
00:55:18 We don't like to intrude.
00:55:20 After all, we are not celebrities.
00:55:22 Oh, darling, don't be like that.
00:55:24 Oh, Jerry, Jerry, I'm really so sorry.
00:55:27 I'm not paying enough attention to you, but you realize
00:55:29 I am getting stuck with the newspaper people.
00:55:31 How about a little drink?
00:55:33 Waiter, a drink for madame.
00:55:35 And plenty of attention.
00:55:36 Hello, my dear.
00:55:44 Hello, my dear.
00:55:45 I'm so glad to see you.
00:55:46 Oh, pardon me a minute, will you, Ken?
00:55:48 Sigrid, darling, will you do Agatha a great big favor?
00:55:52 I'm perishing to hear your song.
00:55:55 Art tells me you do it too, too divinely.
00:55:58 Do sing it for us, won't you, dear?
00:56:00 Be a lamb.
00:56:01 Yes, of course.
00:56:02 After so big a dinner?
00:56:04 Oh, but we're all friends.
00:56:06 Linda, do you remember that little side show at the circus?
00:56:09 You know, the one where the girls were tossed out of bed?
00:56:12 Yes.
00:56:13 Why?
00:56:14 Do you remember the girl with the French accent?
00:56:16 You think yes?
00:56:17 Why, of course I want her to be.
00:56:18 Oh, that night that you came back...
00:56:20 That's all you need to know.
00:56:22 That night that you came back...
00:56:24 It's hard to say, Jerry.
00:56:25 I think you were right.
00:56:27 It is the same girl.
00:56:29 Of course I'm right.
00:56:31 She's no sweet at all.
00:56:33 I knew all along I'd seen her face somewhere.
00:56:36 And if it was, it's there.
00:56:38 She is my little Sigrid.
00:56:40 Ladies and gentlemen, quiet, please.
00:56:42 Attention, please.
00:56:43 What do you think you are here for?
00:56:45 Pleasure?
00:56:46 This is my little joke.
00:56:50 Ladies and gentlemen, I have something very nice to tell you.
00:56:55 My dear little darling, my Sigrid, is going to sing for you from her picture.
00:57:02 Quiet, please.
00:57:04 Attention.
00:57:05 Orchestra.
00:57:11 Wait until you hear her voice.
00:57:13 It's too, too divine.
00:57:15 Let's fall in love
00:57:20 Why should we fall in love?
00:57:25 Our hearts are made of it
00:57:27 Let's take a chance
00:57:30 Why be afraid of it?
00:57:36 Let's close our eyes
00:57:40 And make our own paradise
00:57:44 Little we know of it
00:57:47 Still we can try
00:57:50 To make a go of it
00:57:55 We might have been meant for each other
00:58:05 To be or not to be
00:58:10 Let our hearts discover
00:58:20 Perfect.
00:58:25 I can't watch this any longer.
00:58:29 Would you like us all to have time, leave you two alone?
00:58:31 - Jerry, you're tired. - You bet I'm tired.
00:58:33 Jerry, if I drank a lot of this, I wouldn't have missed what she's doing.
00:58:37 - Easy, Jerry. - What's the matter?
00:58:39 Jerry, don't get excited. You know how it is.
00:58:42 All foreigners are like that.
00:58:44 Foreigners?
00:58:45 She's not a foreigner.
00:58:48 She's just something Ken picked up in a circus.
00:58:51 - Jerry, be quiet. - She's not Swedish.
00:58:54 What?
00:58:56 All right, you can have him.
00:58:58 I don't want any part of him.
00:59:00 He's yours.
00:59:02 Take him back to the circus and you can run a side show together.
00:59:05 Ken, it isn't true what Jerry said.
00:59:10 Ken, it isn't true.
00:59:12 Yes, Max.
00:59:16 - But I don't want you to feel... - What a fine stunt you pull on me.
00:59:20 You got the nerve to try to make a sucker out of Max Hopper.
00:59:23 - No, Max. - Couldn't you tell me the truth?
00:59:25 What am I, around here, an office boy or something?
00:59:27 I just thought it would be a more impressive way to present her, that's all.
00:59:31 A fine fool I am making out of myself.
00:59:34 All this time I'm dancing around her like she's a queen or something.
00:59:38 Miss Lance, special hairdresser.
00:59:41 Miss Lance, special designer.
00:59:43 Miss Lance, private lunchroom.
00:59:45 - Max, I... - And all this time she's a little mouse
00:59:48 that sells tickets for a merry-go-round.
00:59:50 - Max, I had an idea to sell. - Yes?
00:59:53 You had an idea to sell.
00:59:55 Well, after this, sell your ideas someplace else.
00:59:59 If you think that I am so dumb that I cannot see talent unless you trick me into it,
01:00:05 go and direct your picture someplace else.
01:00:08 I'll send you my resignation in the morning.
01:00:11 Good.
01:00:13 Make it early in the morning.

01:01:14 Say, how do you know all these things?
01:01:16 You are in New York. You are 3,000 miles away.
01:01:19 You know what goes on here.
01:01:21 Now, listen, Max. You made a lot of mistakes, but this is the biggest boner you ever pulled.
01:01:25 So I pulled a boner, did I? If it wasn't for me...
01:01:28 Never mind that. Every exhibitor in the country is yelling for this picture.
01:01:32 We can sell a million dollars' worth and we haven't got the girl.
01:01:35 But she ain't a Swede. She's a phony.
01:01:38 Ah, but what a phony. Have you read the papers?
01:01:40 Editorials, even, about the girl who fooled Hollywood.
01:01:43 And what the devil did you let Ken Lane go for?
01:01:46 Our biggest director, our best bet.
01:01:48 I should keep him. I should keep him after he made a monkey out of me.
01:01:51 After he...
01:01:52 Listen, if you can't get him back, we'll get him to come to New York.
01:01:55 We'll talk him into...
01:01:56 So, you want to run this end of the business, too?
01:01:59 Listen, you attend to your business and I attend to mine.
01:02:02 I'll get him here. I'll talk him into it.
01:02:05 [Chuckles]
01:02:17 You're a fine friend.
01:02:20 You got sore at me.
01:02:22 You walked out of my home just if you were insulted or something.
01:02:26 Well, you asked for my resignation.
01:02:28 Who did?
01:02:29 You did.
01:02:30 I did? I never did.
01:02:32 You know that I wouldn't do a thing like that.
01:02:34 We had fights and fights before.
01:02:37 Only we never took any of them seriously.
01:02:40 Besides, you hurt my feelings...
01:02:44 when you sent in such a formal resignation.
01:02:47 When you didn't even say, "My dear Max."
01:02:51 Just as if we were strangers or something.
01:02:54 Oh, Max, I don't care.
01:02:56 We'll never make another picture.
01:02:59 Oh, you want a new contract, do you?
01:03:03 No.
01:03:04 You know that I got to have you and that girl back.
01:03:06 You know that my hands are tied.
01:03:08 Well, how much do you want?
01:03:10 Don't go too far with me.
01:03:11 I don't want a new contract, Max.
01:03:13 I want to find Sigrid.
01:03:14 And I'll come back to work.
01:03:16 You don't know where she is?
01:03:18 I haven't seen her since your party.
01:03:20 But I've got to find her.
01:03:21 But doesn't that Swede woman know where she is?
01:03:22 If she does, she won't tell me.
01:03:23 Look here, I've got to show you something.
01:03:25 Letters from the exhibitors from all over the country.
01:03:27 I've got to find this girl, Max. I tell you, I must find her.
01:03:30 No, I told you last week I don't know where she go.
01:03:32 Come on now, Liza. She didn't go away without telling you.
01:03:35 Maybe she do, but she don't want to see you no more.
01:03:37 But I've got to find her.
01:03:38 You see her, you just make her feel bad again.
01:03:41 Leave me out of it. We've got to find her at any cost.
01:03:43 She must finish this picture.
01:03:44 She tell me no more picture.
01:03:47 She say she's no good.
01:03:48 No good? Well, she's bigger than ever.
01:03:50 Now, do you think it's fair not to let her know?
01:03:52 She... she make lots of money.
01:03:55 Anything she wants.
01:03:56 Well, that girl ought to have money.
01:03:58 Of course, Liza.
01:03:59 Now, Liza, you can't stand in her way.
01:04:01 Tell me. Tell me where she is.
01:04:03 Well, I tell you.
01:04:04 I lend her money to go back to that circus.
01:04:06 Where is it?
01:04:07 That circus is by Kansas City, just be...
01:04:09 You're not kidding me now.
01:04:10 No, that's the truth.
01:04:11 Thanks, sweetheart.
01:04:13 Here you are.
01:04:27 The latest importation from Paris.
01:04:29 It's the bull's eye.
01:04:31 Oh, la, la, the two beautiful girls fall out of bed.
01:04:35 Here you are.
01:04:36 Only three for five cents.
01:04:38 Here you are.
01:04:39 The latest importation from Paris.
01:04:42 Here you are.
01:04:43 The latest importation from Paris.
01:04:46 It's the bull's eye.
01:04:48 Here you are.
01:04:54 The latest importation from Paris.
01:04:57 It's the bull's eye.
01:04:59 Pardon me, miss, but could you help me out?
01:05:02 I'm looking for a girl.
01:05:04 Somebody told me she was here.
01:05:08 Do you happen to know her?
01:05:10 Her name is Sigrid Lund.
01:05:12 Sigrid Lund is dead.
01:05:15 That's too bad.
01:05:19 Because she had a great opportunity.
01:05:22 She was going to be a big star.
01:05:24 But she got frightened and ran away.
01:05:27 Girls are foolish like that sometimes, aren't they?
01:05:30 You see, I'm her director.
01:05:33 It's a kind of a tough break for me, too.
01:05:36 It means I'll have to start a new picture.
01:05:43 It's about a man who's in love with the sweetest girl in the world.
01:05:51 But he doesn't know it, see?
01:05:54 Because the blind fool's been too busy trying to make a big star of her.
01:06:01 At the end of the picture, he goes crazy trying to find her.
01:06:06 Just to tell her how much he loves her.
01:06:10 And how blind he's been.
01:06:13 Oh, Jack!
01:06:15 Why did you run away?
01:06:19 Oh, I had to, darling.
01:06:21 I was scared.
01:06:23 But let's not talk about that anymore.
01:06:27 I love you, I love you, I love you.
01:06:31 That's all that matters.
01:06:33 Say it again, darling.
01:06:35 Again, again.
01:06:37 I want to tell it to the whole world.
01:06:41 Just tell me, sweetheart.
01:06:46 I'll tell the world.
01:06:48 Let's fall in love
01:06:52 Why should we fall in love
01:06:56 Our hearts are made of it
01:06:58 Let's take a chance
01:07:00 Why be afraid of it
01:07:04 Let's fall in love
01:07:09 Why should we fall in love
01:07:13 Now is the time for it
01:07:16 While we are young
01:07:18 Let's fall in love
