>> You were so slow going around the throne I almost caught you.

>> Well, the audience seemed to like it.

Its so hot in New York in the Summertime.

I'm glad we're closing tomorrow night.

Wonder what happened to the air conditioning.

>> Mr. Hiller probably turned it off to save money.

>> Would you blot my face too?

Up here, it's dripping.

And who's Mr. Hiller?

>> The house manager.

You ought to know that.

You been playing his theater the past year and a half.

>> Oh, is that that evil little man who comes around and pinches?

>> That's your department, Sister Dear.

All I can say is that Mr. Hiller keep his air conditioning.

He can't take it with him, and where he's going he'll need it.

Oh boy, it's hot.

Say, if ever I play a king again, I'm gonna be one of those Asiatic boys who just wears earrings and a sheet.

Hey, what's your hurry?

>> Pete.

>> Hi, Ellen honey.

>> I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

You know my brother Tom, don't you?

>> No, I don't believe I've had the pleasure.

>> How are you?

>> I'm fine, Sir.

And thank you for asking.

>> I'll be out in five.

Oh, my peach, you look so nice and cool.

>> Make yourself at home, won't you?

Sit down, anywhere.

>> Oh, how was it , Sir?

>> Hot.

>> Oh.

Your agent stopped by to see you, Sir.

>> Irving.

What brought him out this clammy night?

>> He didn't say.

>> He just told me to tell you it was imperative that you and Miss Ellen meet him at McGuffie's Bar next door right after the performance.

>> Oh.

Ellen.

>> Ellen: Yeah?

>> Irving wants us to meet him at Mcguffies.

>> Okay.

How'd you like Pete?

Isn't he cute.

He's from the South.

>> No.

Why Ellen honey, I never would have guessed it.

>> He owns miles and miles of tobacco land in Virginia.

And you ought to hear him chant.

I met him two days ago at Hilda's Barn Sales.

And I'm simply mad about him.

Is that all?

>> Tom: That's all.

>> Roger.

>> Miss Ellen seems quite taken, doesn't she?

>> This will probably be one of those long affairs that drags on a whole evening.

>> Reporter: The big news overseas concerns the Royal Wedding in London.

The British capital is already festive and happy in anticipation of the wedding, which is still several weeks off.

>> Towel.

>> Please , Sir.

>> Reporter: As for the Princess, the most closely guarded secret in England since radar is her wedding gown.

The Princess herself will see it for the first time this weekend.

>> Chester.

>> Please , Sir.

>> Reporter: In other news, in Miami Florida a new tropical hurricane seems to be approaching.

>> Can I talk now?

>> Yes, Sir.

You know Mr Bowen I danced in Trafalgar Square the day her grandfather was married.

I'd give anything to be there again this Fall, wouldn't you?

>> Yes.

I like weddings.

Provided, of course, they're not mine.

>> Oh, marriages are very healthy, Sir.

They say married men live much longer that bachelors.

>> If that's true, they're only trying to outlive their wives so they can be bachelors again.

>> Haven't you ever thought of getting married, Sir?

>> Once, as a matter of fact I did.

The young lady changed her mind at the last moment.

I've been deeply indebted to her ever since.

Goodnight, Chester.

>> Gee, I wonder what Irving wants?

I hope it' s something that... My gosh what a muscle, it's like cement.

>> Oh, it's nothing.

All us tobacco men get kinda strong.

>> What from?

>> Lifting money.

(laughing) Come now, it wasn't that good.

>> Good night, Eddie.

>> Goodnight.

>> Goodnight, Eddie.

>> Goodnight.

>> He's the only stage door man I know that isn't called Pop.

Hello Bill.

Gee, it's been a long time.

>> Hi Irv.

>> Oh, I couldn't wait for you backstage tonight.

What's it with that heat over there?

Who needs it?

So how was the show?

>> The first act was a little- >> Doll Boat.

How are you, baby?

>> Fine.

How are you?

>> Oh, you look so sweet tonight.

>> I do, don't I?

>> Okay.

Come on, order.

I got news, big news.

>> Let's have it.

>> Oh, Irving.

Can I present Pete Cumberley?

>> Well, how do you do, Mr. Cumberley?

It's a great pleasure.

>> Thank you, Sir.

That's very nice.

>> Who is this square?

>> A friend.

A Tom Collins please.

>> Nothing for me, thanks.

>> Hit me with a rye.

>> Shall I give it to you?

>> Well, come on.

What is it?

>> This'll kill you.

My brother, Edgar called tonight from England.

He's the head of our London office.

Been there for years.

Anyhow, the Mayfair Theater people want your whole show for London.

>> No!

>> But quick they want you there during the wedding season.

>> England during the wedding.

>> I like that.

>> Oh, Tommy.

>> Ellen honey.

Does this mean you'll be leaving me?

>> Oh, yes Pete.

Isn't it wonderful?

When do we open?

>> Well, as soon as possible.

Of course you gotta rehearse the English cast first.

>> Hit me son.

>> What about transportation?

>> There's some French boat leaving a week from next Monday.

>> Which one?

>> Who knows with the name?

It's in French.

Don't worry I'll get you on it.

>> Ellen, this means we'll be saying good bye in 10 days.

>> Oh yes, Pete.

And I'm so happy.

>> Ellen.

>> Ellen: Oh.

Hello, Dick.

>> I was waiting for you backstage.

That's why I'm late.

I'm sorry.

>> Ellen, who is this fella?

>> Finish your drink, Pete.

Did you hear the good news?

We're going to England, and we're going to be there during the wedding.

>> What are you doing here, Sir?

>> What do you mean what am I doing here?

Who's he?

>> A friend.

>> What are you doing here, Sir?

I demand an answer.

>> Go peddle your papers, will you?

When do you leave?

>> That's an insult.

>> What's an insult?

What's the matter with you?

>> You're sending me away- >> This is terribly embarrassing.

I forgot all about Dick.

I hope they don't hit each other.

>> I think we ought to start packing.

>> I have to buy all my new clothes before I go.

>> You'll have time.

>> I'll send the rest of the company over the week after you leave.

>> I wonder what they'll be wearing?

>> I don't know.

Pay the man, will you Irving?

>> Yeah sure.

How much do we owe you?

>> May I?

>> Yes you may.

>> And keep the change.

(punches landing) >> I have a little business to take care of.

I'll meet you on deck.

>> Okay, Sister Dear.

Hello Billy.

This is good bye.

Thanks for coming down to see me off.

>> It's hard saying good bye like this, after all we've been to each other.

>> I know.

It's been a lovely three days.

But I'll be back soon.

Oh, dear.

I must go now.

>> May I walk you up the gangplank?

>> Well, I'd rather you wouldn't.

Yoúu understand?

>> No.

>> Well, it's just better that way.

Write to me, Billy.

>> I will.

Goodbye Ellen.

>> John: I'll miss you very much Linda.

I can tell you that knowing you these past few weeks has been one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me.

>> Linda: Me too, John.

>> Pete!

>> Ellen honey.

I thought I went to the wrong gate.

>> Well, we haven't much time.

>> Really?

And I have so much to say.

>> What?

>> Well, you gonna be away.

>> Yes I know Pete, but what?

>> And suddenly knowing you're gonna be away makes me realize my feelings for you.

So I thought I'd, I mean, Ellen honey.

>> Visitors ashore, please.

>> Oh dear, Pete.

You have to go now.

Good bye.

>> But Ellen honey.

>> You better hurry.

Write me what you had to say, huh?

>> I will.

>> Bye.

>> John: I can tell you, Barbara that knowing you these past few weeks has been one of the most exciting things that's ever happened to me.

>> Oh.

I'll miss you, John.

(ships horn blows) >> Good bye, baby.

>> Goodbye, Irv.

>> I know you'll be a smash.

Now if you want anything, you ask my brother Edgar.

He's gonna meet you at the hotel.

>> So long, Irv.

>> Bye.

(ships horn blows) >> Well listen, honey.

>> So long, Ellen.

So long.

>> Bye honey.

Bye.

See you soon.

(ships horn continues to blow) So long, see ya!

>> Hey.

Who are you waiving at up there?

>> My girl, right there.

See her?

>> That's my girl!

>> Oh, don't give me that.

That's my girl.

(punches landing) (ships horn blowing) >> I'm betting eight to five on Dixie boy.

>> Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

This is not.

(punches landing) (ships horn blowing) Stop.

Would you listen to me?

Stop.

(fast paced music) (calm music) >> What a beautiful, beautiful day.

>> Isn't it wonderful?

We don't know a soul on the boat, and we can have fun together for a change.

>> Yeah.

>> Good day.

>> Good day.

Well, I don't know him, Tom.

Honest I don't.

I want to write a letter.

>> Okay, baby.

Don't forget we've got to rehearse.

>> What time should I meet you?

>> Two o'clock sharp, in the gym.

Now, I won't keep you long.

>> I'll be there, don't worry.

>> Now, don't be late.

>> Okay.

(whistling) >> Good day.

>> Good day.

There's carbon paper in the middle drawer, if you want to make duplicates.

>> I'm not writing a letter, I was just doodling waiting for an opportunity to introduce myself.

My name is Brindale, Lord John Brindale.

And what's yours?

>> Bowen, Duchess Agatha Bowen.

>> Oh, no.

No really, what is it?

Oh, let's see now, E.B.

E, is that Ethel?

Wait a minute.

Bowen.

Why of course.

You're Ellen Bowen aren't you?

>> You're doing fine.

>> That's very stupid of me.

I should have known.

I only saw your show a few weeks ago.

Please forgive me.

>> Oh, that's alright, I know you have a lot on your mind.

>> Oh, I can explain those two little episodes that you witnessed yesterday.

>> Oh, you can?

>> Yes.

>> Then go ahead.

>> Then go ahead?

Well, you see.

They're both terribly nice girls.

And they're so fond of me that I, well I couldn't bear depriving either one of them.

Well, you know how it is.

In order to be kind to people, one has to be a very very good liar.

Tell me, why were you following me?

>> Following you?

I was doing no such thing.

I was only saying goodbye to a couple of... >> The same?

>> Yeah.

>> Does this sort of thing happen to you very often?

>> Oh, all the time.

And you?

>> Constantly.

>> I guess we're both two kind people.

I have to get a stamp.

Do you live in New York?

>> No, I've been there on business for some time.

But I'm just going home now for the wedding.

>> The royal wedding?

>> Yes.

>> You're going to the wedding?

>> Well, I'm escorting someone, yes.

>> Well, you really are a Lord, aren't you?

>> I'm afraid so.

>> My, my.

>> Haven't you met anyone who held a title before?

>> Only Joe Louis.

>> I'm very glad you're Ellen Bowen.

>> Why?

>> Because it means that the chap you're with is your brother, not your husband.

Do you know what I did last night?

>> No, what?

>> I surveyed this whole boat, and I discovered that you were the most attractive girl on board.

>> Well, thank you.

>> And I kept thinking that, what a pity she's married.

Because that's gonna make things terribly awkward.

But it isn't gonna be awkward at all now.

>> Thanks for the use of the hall, purser.

>> Not at all.

>> If you see my sister on deck, will tell her I'm waiting for her, please?

>> I will.

>> I like your boat.

>> Thank you Monsieur.

Oh, Monsieur Bowen I have a favor to ask.

On every crossing, we have a gala benefit for the disabled seamen.

I was wondering if you and your sister would dance for us on that night?

>> Oh, we'd love to.

Just tell us when.

>> Just one number would be sufficient.

We don't want to ask- >> No trouble at all.

>> I know it's an imposition to ask you two.

But I would feel so much- >> We'd love to.

Don't worry, we'll do it.

There's a fella that won't take yes for an answer.

(metronome clicking) (metronome clicking extremely quickly) (metronome clicking fast) (Broadway dance music) Oh, fine.

Thanks for showing up for rehearsals.

>> Oh.

Oh, John, this is my brother Tom.

Tom this is John.

>> How do you do?

>> Glad to know you.

>> I just picked up John in the writing room.

>> So I gather.

>> He's a real Lord.

>> Oh, it's nothing at all.

>> Miss Bowen.

>> Yes?

>> A cable.

>> Oh, thank you.

Excuse me please.

Oh, Tom?

Tom it's from Pete.

He says he's very blue, except for his eye which is black.

(laughing) >> Let's forget Pete for this trip, shall we?

Excuse us.

(light hearted music) (romantic music) >> Oh dear.

It looks a little dim out there, doesn't it?

>> Yeah.

>> Monsieur Bowen.

I'm wondering if you and your sister would dance right away instead of waiting until 10:30.

We're a little afraid of the weather.

>> You mean it might be a little rocky?

>> Yes.

>> That won't bother us, we can handle it.

>> Thank you, Monsieur.

>> Any time you say.

>> I'd better change my dress.

(phone ringing) Hello?

Yes?

Oh, sure.

Yes.

Yes do come on up.

Room 211, 12 and 14.

Okay.

>> Ellen: Who was that?

>> Edgar Klinger, Irving's brother.

He's coming up.

>> I'm so happy, Tommy.

I wonder what the Princess is doing this morning?

>> Why don't you call her and ask her?

>> Wonder what I'd be doing a month before my wedding?

>> Probably trying to figure a way to get out of it.

>> Do you really think so?

>> You know you would, and so would I.

(doorbell buzzes) >> How do you do?

I'm Edgar Klinger.

>> Oh.

We didn't know- >> That Irving and I were twins.

>> Tom: No, we didn't.

>> Oh, I must say.

But he should have told you, you know.

After all, this is a pretty box of pickles.

May I come in?

>> Of course, I'm sorry.

>> How do you do?

>> I'm so happy to meet you at long last.

>> My, it's amazing.

>> Yes, it is rather, isn't it?

I do hope the rooms are satisfactory.

>> Oh, they're fine.

It's a miracle you could get them.

>> Yes quite.

The wedding has packed things up a bit.

But, then there are ways.

>> How's everything in the theater?

>> Oh, seems to be humming.

The dancers are coming to audition this afternoon, the singers tomorrow.

(phone ringing) >> Excuse me.

Hello.

Oh, hello Johnny.

How are you?

>> Ellen's boat romance, John Brindale.

You know him?

>> Know the family, very old.

They do say that young John is a bit of a chaser.

>> He didn't have to chase very hard after Ellen.

She stood still and waited.

>> This afternoon?

No they're auditioning all day.

Just a minute.

Tom you don't need me this afternoon, do you?

John wants me to drive down, and see his old country home with him.

>> Well, I suppose it's all right.

But I thought you'd want to come along, and see who you're working with.

>> Oh, I never notice anyone but you.

>> John I- >> But I want you home for dinner.

And no dates at night until after we open.

You'll come strolling in at four o'clock in the morning, and be all tired out next day.

>> Yes, Papa.

It's all set.

What time will you pick me up?

Okay, I'll be ready.

Bye John.

>> Shall we?

>> Yeah.

I'll see you at seven, and be back.

>> Oh, I will.

I will.

>> Cheerio.

>> Goodbye Edgar.

>> Oh, and if there's anything you need, do call.

>> Ellen: Thank you.

>> After you.

Tell me old boy.

How are things in the Colonies, these days?

>> Oh fine, fine.

(whistling) These English clothes are terrific.

>> Frankly amusing tie, what?

>> Yeah.

Got a match?

Thanks.

I hear that shaving lotion's great stuff.

Do you ever use it?

>> Oh, every day.

>> Sorry.

I thought you were him.

>> How odd.

Thank you.

>> Well, I must get back to the office.

You know where the theater is, don't you?

>> Sure.

>> Well, I'll see you later.

Cheerio.

>> Okay.

(upbeat music) Hello again.

>> I wish you'd stop following me.

>> Following you?

>> I'm not a bit flattered.

(upbeat music) >> Mr. Bowen?

I'm Charles Gordon, your stage manager.

>> Oh, it's nice to see you.

>> Everything's ready, Sir.

>> Oh, good.

See that girl in the green dress near the end changing her shoes?

>> Yes sir.

>> Let's begin with her.

They can each show me a few steps.

>> Very good, Sir.

Your name please?

>> Anne Ashmond.

>> Thank you.

Will you begin please?

>> Why, yes.

>> Miss Anne Ashman.

(calm dance music) >> Will you try a few steps with me, please?

>> Oh dear.

>> Can't you dance with a partner?

>> Well, I could until a moment ago.

>> Well try.

We'll take something easy to start.

May I have a pick-up please?

(calm dance music) You should have seen the expression on your face when you saw me.

>> How did I look?

>> As if I were a dentist.

(calm dance music) You dance very well.

>> Thank you.

>> I think you'll do fine.

>> Will I really?

>> Sure.

>> It's very nice of you not to hold what happened against me.

>> I do a little bit.

>> Well, what can I do?

>> You can have dinner with me some night.

>> Well, I should love to.

>> How about tonight?

>> Well, I don't know.

I- >> She'll do fine.

Pick you up at eight.

Thank you.

Who's next?

>> Is it much further?

>> No, we're almost there.

My, you look pretty.

>> I know.

What do you have to do at the house?

>> Get the wedding present.

We sold practically everything at auction, except for one set of cold pour china plates.

I was supposed to get those when I got married.

Seeing there's little chance of that, we decided to hand them to the Prince and Princess.

>> Why is there precious little chance?

>> Oh, I don't know.

I think you have to enjoy living with yourself, before you have the nerve to ask anyone else to.

Besides, you know how I am.

Oh, here we are.

(inspirational music) >> John, it's beautiful.

>> Yes it was.

(calm music) I think they're in here.

>> Oh, what a wonderful floor to dance on.

>> Yes.

>> How long since anyone's lived here, John?

>> Oh, about five years.

No one could afford places like this today.

>> I imagine you miss it terribly.

>> No, I don't think I do anymore.

I just don't have anything to replace it with.

I say, what time do you have to be back?

>> Seven sharp.

>> Oh, I wish you could have dinner with me.

I don't know when I'll get another free evening.

There's some sort of party every night from now on.

Can't you?

>> I don't know.

You know how Tom is.

>> Will you try?

>> Yes I'll try.

>> Good.

>> Hello.

>> Hi.

Back on time.

>> How was the afternoon?

>> Oh, it was wonderful.

>> How were your dancers?

>> Dancers.

>> What do you want to do tonight?

>> Oh, I'm kinda tired Ellie.

I thought I'd just skip dinner and go straight to bed.

Would you mind?

>> Oh, no no.

It's a good idea.

That country air really knocked me out.

>> Yeah.

You sure you don't mind?

>> Oh, gosh no.

Matter of fact, I think I'll turn in right now if it's alright with you.

>> It's a good idea.

>> Yeah.

>> It's been a kind of a rough day.

>> Yeah.

>> Well, goodnight honey.

>> Goodnight Tommy, sweet dreams.

(fast paced music) Taxi, please.

Thank you.

>> Taxi.

Thank you.

(fast paced music continues) (laughing) More coffee?

>> Thank you.

>> Yes, Ellie and I have done quite a few shows together.

>> Do you like to dance?

>> Yes, yes.

It's hard work, but it's fun.

What made you decide to dance?

>> Oh, a very silly reason.

>> How silly?

>> Well, when I was 11 I fell in love for the first time with a boy much older.

>> 12?

>> 13.

His name was Alonzo, and I was so happy that suddenly all I wanted to do was to dance.

So I figured that if I danced when I was happy, I should be happy if I dance.

Is that silly enough?

>> I think so.

>> I felt so good about Alonzo, I used to close my eyes and pretend I could dance all over the floor, walls, even the ceilings.

>> If you ever learn to do that, I could get you a very good booking.

You want anything else?

>> No.

>> Let's go.

>> You'd better not take me home.

>> Why not?

>> Well it's a long way, and besides this is Friday.

Friday I have to stop and see my Father.

>> Oh, I'd like to meet him.

Cabby.

>> Alright.

>> What's the address?

>> 150 Mitchell Street.

>> Cabby, could you take us to 150 Mitchell Street?

>> Cabby: Love to Governor, love to.

>> Wait will you please, driver?

>> Cabby: Love to Governor, love to.

>> See, that's my father.

He's the proprietor.

>> Oh?

>> Oh dear, I hope he won't offend you.

He's quite impossible, really.

He and my mother have been separated for three years, and I have to stop here every Friday and get her money.

>> Why doesn't your mother do it?

>> Well, they're not speaking to each other.

>> So I says to him, McBride, every time you get four drinks under that belt of yours, you become a blooming nuisance.

And what's more, every time you fall down, you chip a piece out of the bar with your chin.

So I says from now on.

Annie!

Well my little girl, how are you dear?

>> Hello, Jamie.

Tom, this is my father.

Father, this Tom Bowen.

>> Glad to know you, Mr. Ashmond >> Please to meet you, Sir.

>> To the royal couple.

>> Bowen, aye?

I used to know a Willie Bowen.

Good old Willie.

Married a girl we used to know named Gladys Hawksley.

I don't think you knew Gladys, Annie.

Very happy they were for years.

Then one night good old Willie threw her right out of the window.

Nobody knows why.

But I always figured that they must have had an argument.

I don't suppose you'd be any relation?

>> Why no.

I don't believe I have any relations over here.

>> Over here?

>> You see, I'm from America.

>> America!

America!

Get out of my pub.

Leave the premises.

I'm not on speaking terms with the United States.

>> Anne: Jamie!

>> How dare you bring another Yank to my tavern?

Out, do you hear?

Out!

>> Now, wait a second.

What's the matter with the United States?

>> Matter!

You owe me money, you do.

Where is it?

Here, look at this.

Two pounds, 10 run up by your blooming soldier.

And what did he do?

Hopped it.

Walked out without paying.

I'll not serve you a drink, Sir.

>> Now stop it, Jamie.

>> To the royal couple.

>> Well, I can't allow Anglo-American relations to be threatened like this.

I'd like to square that bill.

>> Tom, you shouldn't.

>> Oh, sure.

How much is that?

Two pounds, 10?

There you are, Sir.

>> Now there's a gentleman for you.

Not at all like the other Yank you're so fond of.

>> Well, you can just add 10 bob to that, and give it to me for mother.

>> Has she found out when we go to the palace yet?

Or is she keeping it from me?

>> Three pounds, Jamie.

>> You see we sent a little token to the Royal Highnesses for the wedding.

And according to the papers, anybody who did are allowed to see the wedding presents.

>> It's a nice custom.

>> Three pounds, Jamie.

>> Oh all right, here.

What you counting for?

Don't you trust me?

>> Just like her mother, no faith.

>> You're five shillings short.

>> Oh?

That's what you might call a typographical error.

Here.

>> Thank you.

We'd better go.

Goodnight, Jamie.

>> Goodnight, dearie.

Goodnight, pal.

>> Goodnight, buddy.

>> To the royal couple.

>> Thanks.

>> Looks like Mother is still up.

Ever since she and Jamie separated, she can never get to sleep till I get home.

>> Let's walk a minute, and get some nice fresh fog.

(calm music) Who a, who's the Yank you're so fond of?

>> Hal Rayton.

He's my fiance.

>> You don't sound very happy about it.

>> Oh I am, really.

>> Is it a secret?

>> No.

Oh, this is ridiculous.

He's in Chicago.

>> Illinois?

>> He lives there.

>> And you live here?

>> Yes.

>> Well, if you keep that arrangement after you're married, you'll be very happy.

(laughing) How long since you've seen him?

>> Oh, about two years.

>> Two years!

(whistles) And you're still in love with him?

>> Well, I've never thought of not being.

>> Do you hear from him very often?

>> Every few days as a rule.

>> Oh?

>> Actually, I haven't heard from him for two months now.

But he's probably been busy.

I wrote to him tonight and told him I was in your show, and asked him to call me opening night.

>> I assume you have some plans about getting together in the future?

>> Oh yes.

>> Are you going over there?

Is he coming over here?

Or are you going to meet in the middle?

>> You see he works in Ogilvy's Department Store in Chicago.

>> Oh, well?

>> Well, as soon as he makes enough to send for me, or I make enough to go over there, we're going to be married.

>> That's fine.

>> You, you don't mind do you?

>> Mind what?

>> My getting married, I mean.

I should love to go out with you again.

I had an awfully good time.

>> So did I.

Of course I don't mind.

Actually, I'm kinda glad you're all tied up.

Now we can go out and have fun without any pressure, can't we?

>> Yes.

I guess so.

>> Goodnight, Anne.

>> Goodnight, Tom.

(contemplative music) >> Mr. Irving Klinger?

We're ready with Mr. Edgar Klinger in London.

Go ahead please.

>> Hello, hello.

Ed, this is Irv.

How are you, twinsie?

>> Buzzing, old boy, simply buzzing.

>> I got a fast note by airmail from Tombo this morning.

He says everything is terrif'.

>> Oh well, that is good news.

Tell me have you heard from Tom?

>> No.

How are things?

>> Oh, absolutely superb.

I think we should have a fantastic opening night, tomorrow night, fantastic.

>> What about Ellen?

Tom having trouble keeping her caged up at night?

>> Oh no.

Quite the contrary.

She's been frightfully conscientious.

Goes straight home from the theater each night.

Tom's the one who's been romping about.

>> Tom?

No kidding.

What did he do, catch himself a chick?

>> No, no, no.

Tom's quite well.

He's taken a fancy to some girl in the show, pretty little thing she is too.

>> Hey Eddie, what I called you about, call me after the opening, will you?

The light in the window's gonna be me sitting and waiting.

>> I will do old boy.

Don't give it a second thought.

By the by, how's the mater?

>> Oh, Mom's fine.

>> Oh splendid.

Do give her a peck on the cheek for me.

>> I gotcha.

Dig you tomorrow night.

>> Pip now.

>> Pip Now?

>> Dig you?

(distant shouting) >> What's all the commotion about down there?

>> Some regiment that hasn't paraded its finery in years.

>> Gosh, you can just feel the excitement growing, can't you?

>> After all, the wedding's only a week off.

I wonder what the groom is doing this morning?

>> Well why don't you call him and ask him?

>> Very funny.

>> Well, I thought it was.

What time did you get in last night, lover boy?

>> Oh, around 11 I guess.

I don't know, I didn't pay much attention.

>> Well I did.

It was around two.

My you're a busy little man these p.m.s, aren't you?

>> We were just having a few laughs.

>> Just a few laughs?

>> That's all.

>> Ha.

(doorbell buzzes) >> Come in!

>> Morning.

>> Why, Johnny!

What a pleasant surprise.

>> How are you?

>> Fine.

>> Hi, John.

>> Hello, Tom.

I thought this was as good place as any to see the parade.

>> Oh, we have a sensational view.

Oh, before I forget, your ticket for the opening.

Second row, right on the aisle.

>> Wonderful, thanks very much.

>> What time is the parade?

>> Well, it should pass here any minute.

Ellen, it's wonderful seeing you again.

How's the show going?

>> Oh, it's just fine.

Gee, it's been a long time.

>> I know, four days.

>> Look, tomorrow after the opening, Edgar's giving a party.

You're going with me, okay?

>> Okay, it'll take a little doing though.

>> Why?

>> Well there's a huge affair being given, and I'm supposed to take someone.

>> Oh, but you can get out of it, can't you?

This is my opening night.

Besides, if you don't take me, nobody will.

I haven't been out with a soul but you since I got here.

>> I'll get out of it.

(bagpipes blasting from parade) >> You're looking so well these days.

>> Thank you.

>> I think about you so much.

>> I think about you, Ellen.

>> What?

>> I said I think about you.

And it's so different from anything I ever felt before.

>> How?

>> Well first of all, I'm not interested in anybody or anything I do.

And that's completely new for me.

(bagpipes blaring louder) (Ellen hums quizatively) I said that's completely new for me.

Ellen, I think this is getting very serious.

(bagpipes continue blaring) >> What a parade.

I've never seen anything like it in my life.

>> Parade?

>> Oh it's over?

>> Wait, I'll tell them to come back.

>> Oh ignore him, Johnny.

I'm so excited about tomorrow night.

>> Come on girl, we're due at the theater five minutes ago.

>> In a minute.

Do you realize we've only been out at night together about three times since I've been here?

>> Well.

>> Come on, come on.

>> Oh, Just a minute.

(calm piano music) >> What's that your playing, Tom?

>> The song she's supposed be rehearsing at the theater now.

>> Oh, why don't you rehearse it here?

>> Oh, that's a good idea.

Is that alright with you, Tommy?

>> All right.

Charlie, what time is it?

>> It's 4:00 a.m., Sir.

>> Oh, that's enough.

All right everybody, that will be all for tonight.

I'm sorry to keep you working so late.

>> What about our last two numbers, Tom?

>> We don't have to rehearse those.

You were fine in them this afternoon.

>> Yeah, I thought so too.

The show looks pretty good, doesn't it?

>> Not bad.

Anne.

Excuse me.

>> Yes?

>> Don't forget tomorrow night.

>> The opening, how could I?

>> Oh yes, do try to make that.

We'd love to have you.

No, I meant afterwards.

Edgar's giving a party.

We'll go together.

>> Oh Tom, I can't.

>> You can't.

Why not?

>> Hal is calling me.

>> Oh, that's right.

I forgot all about him.

Well it doesn't matter.

>> I wouldn't bother, except I haven't heard from him for such a long time now, and I do have to talk to him.

>> Taking the bus home tonight, Anne?

>> I'll be right with you.

Sorry Tom.

>> Oh, that's all right.

It's all right.

>> George: What time tomorrow, Sir?

>> Three o'clock for the company, and 11 for Miss Bowen and me.

>> 11?

What for, Tom?

>> I want to take those two numbers we didn't do tonight.

>> I thought you were satisfied with them.

>> There's still a few rough spots.

>> Say, what happened to you?

Did you get stood up?

>> What are you talking about?

>> My, what a manic-depressive life you lead.

It's going to be a marvelous party tomorrow night.

I'm going with John, who are you taking?

♪ Every night at seven ♪ ♪ Da dum da dee dum da dee dum ♪ >> Where's the key?

>> Well, you have it.

>> I have not.

I gave it to you.

I'll suppose I'll have to go all the way down to the desk and- >> See?

If you think nice things, all doors open to you.

>> Is that your message for the day?

>> Flowers!

For me?

I wonder who they're from.

>> Not from me.

>> Oh, well that I know.

>> Who?

>> It's from John.

Can't make the opening.

>> He can't?

My, what a shame.

>> I had a feeling this morning he wasn't going to be able to make it, but he just didn't know how to tell me.

>> Isn't that terrible?

Now isn't that terrible?

>> He's weak.

And I just hate weak people.

>> Yes dear, I know you do.

Up one minute, down the next.

What a manic-depressive life you lead.

>> All right, all right.

So we're even.

Who are you going with tomorrow night?

>> I don't know.

>> Why don't you take me?

I think we should go together anyway, don't you?

After all, we're the stars of the show.

>> Yes, I think we should.

Miss Bowen, may I escort you to Klinger's clambake tomorrow night?

>> Why, I'd be delighted.

And what a surprise you're asking me.

Oh Tommy, let's be terrific tomorrow night.

>> We'll be cosmic.

>> Stupendous.

>> A smash!

We hope.

And Ellen, don't forget.

That's still the most important thing.

>> Yes, Tommy.

I know it is.

Goodnight.

>> Goodnight.

(fast paced music) Oh yeah, yeah.

>> You listen to me just once.

>> Oh sure, sure.

Yeah.

>> I've told you a million times.

You never want to listen to me, never once.

>> So I said it.

So you heard it.

So you mean it.

So what?

>> So this.

It's the last time I'll ever go to a party with you.

>> Will you put that in writing?

>> Well, you're always making cracks, making cracks.

>> Like what?

>> Well, you're always humi-lating me, humi-lating me.

Didn't your mother never teach you no manners?

>> I never had no mother, we was too poor.

>> Say what's the matter with you lately?

You used to tell me you loved me.

You used to treat me like a high-class dame.

Well, usedn't you?

>> So I used.

>> Ah, there.

So you admit it.

>> I ain't admitting nothing.

>> I'll give you one more chance.

Do you love me or don't you?

>> No I don't.

>> Quit stalling.

I want a direct answer.

>> Listen kid, there's one thing about you I can't understand.

>> Darling, I just had to come.

I just had to.

>> Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

>> Who's that with Ellen?

>> It wouldn't have been- >> Who?

>> The chap with the accent.

>> Him?

>> Yes.

>> Brindale.

>> Aah.

>> They've become very good friends.

>> Oh yes.

>> Don't you think we should be getting over to Edgar's?

>> Later, Johnny.

Tonight's my night, and tonight I want to be alone with you.

When you didn't show up at the opening, I didn't even feel like going on.

How'd you get away from your party?

>> Oh I just walked out.

I couldn't stand not being with you tonight.

Ellen.

Ellen, I think we're in love.

>> Yes, darling I know.

>> Well what are we gonna do about it?

>> Nothing.

>> Well we can't go on in this indefinite state.

>> Well aren't you happy?

>> Oh you know I am.

>> So am I.

Let's not kill it with improvement now.

>> But something might happen.

>> Like what?

>> Well, some day you might look over my shoulder and see someone else.

>> Someone else?

>> Yes.

>> Well, it's after two.

But I never close for you, Tommy boy.

>> Thanks.

>> The show went well, aye?

>> Oh fine, fine.

I didn't feel like going home straight after the party, so I thought I'd stop by and say hello.

>> Well you're just in time.

It was announced we go to see the presents on Monday.

>> Thanks.

>> I was just about to try on me suit for the palace.

I'll slip into it.

You have a look.

Then you can tell me what you think, aye.

>> Sure.

Oh by the way, isn't this Anne's night to visit you?

>> Yeah, she was by about an hour ago.

Picked up her money, and stole away like a pickpocket.

>> Did her call come through from Chicago?

>> No, the blooming blighter never called.

>> She must be upset.

>> Well I couldn't say.

I don't know how Anne feels about anything.

She's not an easy one to get to know.

Very quiet she is, but deep.

At least I hope she is deep.

Or else she's wasting a lot of her time being quiet.

Well, brace yourself.

What do you think?

Do I look like a gentleman?

>> Jamie, you look like a banker.

>> But do I look like a gentleman?

>> It's written all over you.

>> I got it this afternoon from Percy Munro.

Last year, when he got pneumonia, they bought it for him to be buried in.

But he recovered.

>> Well, my only advice is, if you meet the royal Family, I wouldn't bow too low.

Remember this is a wedding, not a coming out party.

(fabric pops) >> I see what you mean.

I'll watch it.

>> Are you excited?

>> Excited, no.

I'm just scared.

Nervous and scared.

>> Why?

>> It's meeting the old crow again.

I haven't clapped eyes on her in three years.

>> I know.

>> It's funny, if it wasn't for this royal wedding, probably I'd never have crossed her path again.

>> I tell you what.

On Monday, I'll call for you and take you down to meet her.

I'll give you moral support.

>> Now, that's nice of you, Tommy.

Unusually nice of you.

You're a good man, you are.

I don't know what Annie is doing, waiting for this knucklehead in Chicago when she knows a fellow like you right here in town.

>> That's love, Jamie.

>> What about you?

>> Do I look like the settling down kind?

Come on, let me out.

>> Oop.

I'll do the bending, I'm dressed for it.

>> Thank you, Tommy.

Goodnight, pal.

>> Oh hello, Edgar.

>> Absolutely fantastic notices, every one.

You could stay on for years.

Have you seen the dailies?

>> Hoora', that.

>> Oh, we're so thrilled.

>> There's been an eight-week call at the libraries.

>> There's been a what at the what?

>> The libraries, old boy.

That's what we call our ticket brokers.

They want block of seats eight weeks in advance.

>> Why didn't you say so?

Oh Tom, did you see the one where they say we're brilliant?

>> Where?

>> Oh Edgar, have you called Irving yet?

>> I'm off to the office now.

(phone ringing) >> I'll take it in my room.

>> Edgar, sit down a sec, will you?

I want you to do a favor for me.

>> At your command, old boy.

>> Look, when you call Irving, ask him to find out what happened to a boy who used to work at Ogilvy's Department Store in Chicago.

His name is, Hal Rayton.

I've written it all down for you.

>> Oh, right you are.

>> Will you do that?

And don't say anything to anybody about it, will ya?

>> It shall be graveyard old boy, graveyard.

>> All right, thanks.

Thanks.

>> Cheerio!

>> This is New York.

We're ready London.

Mr Irving Klinger is on the line.

>> Hello, hello.

>> Irving there?

Edgar here.

>> Hey Eddie, so how are things?

>> Buzzing right along.

>> Smash, huh?

So how are the notices?

>> Wizard old boy, wizard.

>> That bad, huh?

>> No no, no no.

Wizard, wizard.

>> Oh, wizard.

>> Yes.

Now look, Tom wants you to follow up on a chap named Hal Rayton, R-A-Y-T-O-N. >> Hal Rayton, huh?

What does he do, a single?

>> Mr. Rayton is not in the theatrical profession.

>> He ain't in the theater, so who needs him?

>> It's a personal matter of Tom's.

Now, when last heard from, Mr. Rayton was employed at Ogilvy's Department Store in Chicago.

>> Ogilvy's, dig ya.

I'll throw the hassle to our Chicago branch, have the whole mess in your lap in a fast two days.

>> Oh no no.

That won't be necessary.

Just follow up on the Rayton matter and let us know.

>> Nat', I just said.

Pip now.

>> Oh oh yes.

Dig you.

(laughing) >> Oh, there's Jamie for you.

Wouldn't you know he'd be late?

Even to the palace.

>> Now take it easy, Mother.

Maybe the traffic was heavy.

>> It's not the traffic, it's Jamie.

Ever since I told him I don't like to be kept waiting, he's been keeping me waiting.

>> You know Mother, there's an old Spanish proverb which goes he who does not love the faults of his loved one, does not love at all.

>> That may be well and good for the Spanish.

But I'm English.

>> Do you know what I think?

>> No dearie.

>> I think he's excited about seeing you.

>> Do you think so?

(grunts in the affirmative) How do I look?

>> As elegant as can be.

>> Tommy, tell him he's going too fast.

>> Driver, could you slow down a little?

>> Yes sir.

>> What do you say we step off and have a quick one?

To the health of the royal couple, aye?

>> Sit back, Jamie.

We're not stopping anywhere.

>> Well tell him to go a little slower.

>> He can't go any slower.

And don't be so nervous.

Now when you see her, be sure you act like the gentleman you look like.

>> I will, but if she says one word of criticism, I'll hit her on the head with this cap.

>> You'll do nothing of the kind.

Here we are.

Stop here, driver.

We'll walk the rest of the way.

Go on now.

Don't lose your nerve, get in there.

Go on.

>> Hello, Jamie.

>> Good day, Sarah.

>> Jamie, your suit's handsome, handsome.

>> Thank you.

I'm sorry I'm late.

>> The traffic was heavy today.

>> I told the cabby to go as fast as he could.

>> Shall we go?

>> Allow me.

>> Jamie don't.

>> I knew the code.

There are some days when you can do nothing wrong.

>> Do you think they'll stay together?

>> Sure.

>> I hope so, for them as well as for me.

I could never have left Mother alone.

>> Now you can get married and forget about it.

>> Yes.

(knocking on door) >> Yeah?

>> Good evening.

>> Edgar!

>> I have the information you requested regarding Mr. Rayton.

>> Oh, what?

>> Well, it's nothing terribly exciting.

Mr. Rayton still works at Ogilvy's.

He's still in the luggage department.

He used to live in Chicago proper but not long ago, he and his wife moved to Evanston.

>> His wife?

>> Why yes, he was married several months ago.

>> My my my.

>> I say, who is this chap anyway?

>> He was engaged to a girl in the show.

I was just finding out about him for her.

>> Oh, I say that's frightful.

>> Yes, isn't it?

>> Well, what are you so pleased about?

>> I always smile when I'm heartbroken.

I'd better tell her.

>> Oh no, not now.

Don't you think you should wait until after the performance?

It would seem kinder.

>> Maybe you're right.

Edgar, you're a real pal.

I'd stick up for you anytime.

>> Thanks old chap.

That's frightfully decent of you to say.

Well, if you'll excuse me.

>> All right.

>> Oh, I shall be around to pick you up early tomorrow morning.

>> What's tomorrow?

>> Why the royal wedding.

And I shall take you some place where you'll see all the pageantry.

>> Great.

>> Stage Hand: Second act, Mr. Bowen.

Anne, I've something to tell you.

>> Yes?

>> I hope you won't think I've butted in where I shouldn't have.

But Jamie told me your friend didn't call.

>> Oh?

>> I didn't ask.

He told me.

>> I don't quite know why I did it, but I decided to try and find out what happened to him.

>> Did you?

>> Yes I did.

>> Well?

>> Anne.

He's married.

>> Married?

>> I'm sorry.

>> How wonderful.

How simply wonderful.

>> Oh Tom, thank you.

>> Oh it was nothing.

Anne?

>> Here I've been worrying myself to death over him on account of you, and he's been married all the time.

Isn't it wonderful?

>> What do you mean on account of me?

>> On account of me being in love with you, and you being in love with me.

>> I'm in love with you?

>> Well aren't you?

>> Yeah.

What a mess.

>> Why?

>> The next thing that happens, we'll be thinking about getting married.

>> I'm thinking about it right now.

>> There, you see?

>> Well, don't you want to marry me?

>> Yes I do.

Anne, it isn't you.

It's marriage.

I'm afraid I couldn't be married and make a go of it.

I've been living one way too long.

With me it's always been work.

Everything else has just been a side issue.

It isn't because I don't want to, it's just that I, I don't know if I could change.

Anne, I know I'd be an awful flop as a husband.

Do you understand?

>> I think I do, Tom.

>> What'll we do?

>> Perhaps you'd better take me home.

(somber music) Tom.

I only disagree with one thing.

>> What's that?

>> I think you'd make a marvelous husband.

>> You do?

>> Yes I do, Tom.

(contemplative music) >> Hi.

>> Hi.

You're back early.

>> It isn't early.

>> I thought it was.

>> Well it isn't.

It's late.

>> Is it?

(hums inquisitively) I didn't say anything.

>> Tom, John wants to marry me.

>> He does?

That's funny.

>> Well, it might be to you.

But it's terribly serious to him.

He's very much in love with me.

And he says he's found a new faith, and everything.

All on account of me.

>> How do you feel?

>> Well, very constructive.

>> I never thought I'd live to see the day you'd inspire anybody to do anything but slug it out.

>> All right, go ahead and make fun of me.

>> I'm sorry Ellie.

You really are involved this time, aren't you?

>> Up to here.

>> What are you gonna do?

>> I don't know.

I was rather hoping you'd make up my mind for me, like you usually do.

>> It sure is funny.

>> Why do you keep saying that, when it isn't funny at all?

It's very important.

>> I know it is.

I only meant it's funny because, Anne wants me to marry her.

>> She does?

My gosh.

(laughing) It sure is funny, isn't it?

>> Why?

>> Well, I don't know.

It's just funny that's all.

>> Now, what's so funny about someone wanting to marry me?

I have a few good points, you know.

>> Tommy, are you really in love with her?

>> Up to here.

>> Oh my.

Well, I wonder what would happen if we just threw over all our principles, and went ahead and got married anyway.

>> You'd stay here in England with John.

>> Why would I stay here?

>> You can't go traipsing all over the world and leave your husband at home.

What kind of a marriage would that be?

>> No.

I suppose not.

Well, what would you do?

>> I'd marry Anne, and- >> No, I mean who would you dance with?

>> Well, I never thought of that.

Not having you, I might try Anne if she wants to.

She loves to dance, and shows a lot of promise.

>> Do you really think so?

>> Yeah.

>> I thought she was a little awkward myself.

>> So were you when you started.

>> I know it but it takes years to build a good team.

You've always said that.

>> And there's a lot of excitement in doing it.

>> Well, it just isn't fair Tommy.

>> What isn't?

>> I'm getting the short end of the stick.

>> What?

>> You want me to settle back and get out of the way, while you go off with someone else and have all of the fun.

I think it's rotten of you, Tommy, simply rotten.

>> Well, I didn't ask you to- >> Everything's been so perfect.

We've had a wonderful life together.

We've been very successful.

How can you even consider breaking it up?

And breaking if up for what?

To get married.

Oh nom, Tom.

Marriage is a tough business.

>> Well, you know what I've always thought of marriage.

>> Responsibilities, obligations, a home to take care of.

Maybe children to look after.

Imagine being married to someone you're dancing with.

If either the marriage or the dancing doesn't work out, both of them go kablooey.

Oh no.

No, Thomas.

It's a terrible chance to take.

>> It is, isn't it?

>> We mustn't do it.

We've slaved too hard to get where we are.

Why should we give it up?

>> It does seem foolish, doesn't it?

>> We're a team, and a darn good one.

We ought to stay that way.

>> Maybe you're right.

>> Well, of course I'm right.

You do see it, don't you Tommy?

>> Sure I see it.

It's you and me just like it's always been.

>> I'm sure we're doing the right thing.

Thank you so much for deciding for me.

>> Forget it.

>> Good morning, old chappie.

>> Hello Edgar.

>> Good morning.

I've come to take you to the wedding.

And what a wedding parade we shall see.

>> Are you ready?

>> As ready as I'll ever be.

>> I say, what's the matter with you two this morning?

You're all at sixes and sevens.

>> Nothing's the matter.

Let's go.

(inspirational music) >> Tom, I want- >> Ellie, I've got to have her.

I lose.

>> So do I. I want to get married today!

>> Today?

>> Yes, before I change my mind.

Do you think we can do it?

>> We must do it.

Edgar, we want to get married.

>> I thought you two were related?

>> Oh no, no.

And we want to get married today.

>> But it takes three weeks.

>> Three weeks?

Anything can happen in three weeks.

You can fix it for us Edgar.

>> Irving says you can do anything.

>> Well, I know.

But one must have permission from the Archbishop's office.

And after all, he's busy today.

>> You've got to swing it for us Edgar.

>> Well, I'll try.

You two meet me at the Vicar General's in two hours.

If it's at all possible to get permission for a license, you shall be married this afternoon.

>> Where, where?

>> Clyde Street Church.

I believe I know the minister there.

This is pretty box of pickles.

I beg your pardon, Sir.

>> Now what do we do?

>> We have to find Anne and John.

>> In these crowds?

>> Well, I know what corner she's standing on.

Where's John?

>> He should be leaving the Abbey for the reception any minute now.

>> Well, you'd better find him.

Ellie, I'm gonna miss you a lot from now on.

>> Tommy, you're a wonderful brother.

>> Good luck, darling.

>> Thanks, Tommy.

>> Excuse me, excuse me.

(upbeat parade music) >> Will you excuse me?

John!

>> Ellen, what's the matter?

>> John, I want to marry you.

>> What?

>> I said I want to marry you!

>> You do?

>> Yes.

Meet me at Clyde Street church at four o'clock.

>> Right.

>> Here here, here here.

What do you think you're doing miss?

>> Oh officer, I love you.

>> Anne!

Anne!

>> Tom!

>> Tom: Will you marry me?

>> What?

>> Will you marry me?

>> Yes.

(calm music) >> They didn't have to go to all this trouble.

A small wedding would've been alright.
