01:25Oh, Harry Jones.
01:27In what year did Columbus discover America?
01:31Well, you see, uh, uh, that is, uh,
01:37you see, well, yes, yes, Harry,
01:41I know that you don't know and I'm sorry,
01:44but you'll have to remain after class
01:46and write the answer to that question 50 times.
01:49The rest of the class may go now.
02:19Come in.
02:32How do you do, jury?
02:34You have a seat.
02:40We are waiting for Miss Brown to arrive,
02:42then we'll proceed with the faculty meeting.
02:46Come in.
02:49Good afternoon, Miss Brown.
02:51How do you do, Dean Hargreeves?
02:53Professor, how's your room assistant?
02:55Not so good, Miss Brown.
02:56Will you please be seated?
03:00I have very grave news.
03:03Of course you're aware of the fact
03:04that this Institute of Learning
03:07has been swept entirely these past years
03:09by our endowment fund provided by its founder,
03:14the late Benjamin Ware.
03:17Enrollment has fallen off to the point
03:19where we can count on very little revenue
03:21from the student fees.
03:24Today I'm in receipt of a letter
03:27from Mr. Benjamin Ware III,
03:30grandson of our beloved founder.
03:33He informs me that due to complications
03:36regarding the Ware estate,
03:38the Ware College Fund has been tied up,
03:42cutting off our revenues.
03:44This means that we'll have to close the school entirely.
03:48Why not close the school?
03:50Yes, I regret to say we must close the school.
03:56If Benjamin Ware I were alive today,
04:00he would not allow this terrible thing to happen.
04:04Unfortunately,
04:06we are dealing with young Mr. Benjamin Ware III,
04:10who, while he's an alumnus of this college,
04:13he does not take the interest of the school at heart,
04:17especially since our physical instructor,
04:21Miss Brown, sees fit to reject his offer of marriage.
04:24I'm sorry, Dean.
04:25I just don't love Mr. Benjamin Ware III.
04:28If my refusing him has anything to do
04:30with his attitude towards his school wife...
04:32Now, now, Miss Brown.
04:34Don't think for a moment that I blame you in this action.
04:37I admire you for refusing young Ware's attention
04:41in view of the fact you do not love him.
04:43Many a girl would jump at the idea of marrying
04:45so wealthy a man even if she did not love him.
04:48Allow me to commend you for your truthfulness.
04:51It does seem terrible, Dean,
04:53that after devoting your entire life
04:55to the establishment of this college
04:57to be forced to close it.
04:58But think of the many fine young men and women
05:01who have graduated from Ware
05:03and become famous and successful in the business world.
05:07Now, here.
05:08Just take a look at a few of these.
05:12Now, there's Thomas D. During.
05:14Today, he is one of the ablest lawyers in the country.
05:18And over here is A.J. Alvin.
05:22And he's been in Congress for three years.
05:25Dean Hargreaves, I have an idea.
05:27Why not send an appeal to all the famous old grads
05:29of Ware College?
05:30I'm sure they'd rally to the aid of their own alma mater.
05:34Oh, let's invite them here to a reception.
05:37Tell them it's a battle of the utmost importance.
05:40It means the very existence of their old school.
05:42Miss Brown, I believe you are right.
05:45Just look in here.
05:46Here's Samuel W. Halsley.
05:48He's a multimillionaire in New York.
05:51And here's Tom Booney.
05:54Remember him?
05:55He's one of our greatest fullbacks.
05:58He's a big businessman in Chicago.
06:02I wonder what became of Lucius.
06:05You know, I never did think he'd amount to anything.
06:09Oh, he was a nice boy, Dean.
06:11But he used to waste too much time with that saxophone.
06:15He used to bring it to school with him.
06:17You must remember him, Miss Brown.
06:19You and Lucius were in the same class, weren't you?
06:22Why, yes, I remember Lucius.
06:24He was a very nice boy.
06:26Yes, I remember now.
06:28Lucius was so shy and backward.
06:31Uh, he was sort of sweet on you, Miss Brown.
06:34Well, I... I, uh...
06:36Oh, yes, yes, yes, Dean.
06:37Now I remember.
06:38Lucius was very sweet on Miss Brown.
06:41And, uh, as I recall,
06:44it was Benjamin Ware III who was extremely jealous
06:48and was responsible for Lucius packing up and leaving town.
06:52Uh, you say that you've never heard from him, Miss Brown?
06:55No, Lucius has never written.
06:57No one's ever heard from him since.
07:00He was such a timid boy.
07:02Well, we'll send him an invitation along with the others.
07:06I don't expect him to show up.
07:08No, we can count on very little
07:11from Lucius Broken-Shard Jordan.

09:43♪
09:48Why have we stopped here, Porter?
09:50I hear there's a washout ahead, Mr. Jordan
09:52The conductor says there may be a delay of several hours
09:55I gotta open at the Paramount Theater in New York tomorrow
09:58We can't be held up like this
09:59I'm very sorry, Mr. Jordan
10:01But we are held up
10:02And there's not enough thinking to be done about it
10:04Well, I gotta do something about it
10:05I gotta send a wire
10:07What kind of jerk town is this anyway?
10:10I gotta send a wire
10:19Hey, uh, Porter?
10:20Yes, sir
10:21Come on, come in
10:22Yes, sir
10:23I am gonna give you a chance to get in, you know
10:28I'm gonna flip this coin for a drink
10:31Double or nothing
10:32No, sir
10:33No, sir
10:34You haven't paid me for a drink since you left Chicago
10:37Anything else you want, you have to put it on the line
10:40Because I ain't
10:41Well, now, wait a minute
10:42What's the matter?
10:43Is something wrong?
10:44No, sir
10:45No, sir
10:46Nothing's wrong at all
10:47I'm willing to get anything you gentlemen wish
10:49But I'd also like to make a little profit on a trip
10:52I don't want to wind up on the railroad money
10:55Well, son of a man
10:56If that's you, I mean, if that's what you feel that way
10:59Well, give all
11:00Give all the boys a drink
11:01Yes, sir
11:02And I'll pay for it
11:03Now, what is it you gentlemen wish?
11:04Are you kidding?
11:05Oh, yes, sir
11:06Yes, sir
11:07The same thing all around
11:10Well, boys, I see where I'm gonna have to change my method
11:13Because Porter's getting kind of wise to what I'm doing
11:16So I guess I have to riffle these cards a little bit
11:19So, I mean, I'm gonna show you a little art of three cards
11:23Well, you know, you're a beautiful guy
11:34Pardon me, sir
11:35Can you tell me where I can find a telephone around here?
11:38The nearest telephone is at the college about six blocks down the street
11:41What college is that?
11:43Listen, mister, don't you know what town you're in?
11:45This is Ware, Ohio
11:46There ain't but one college here, and that's Ware College
11:49Ware?
11:51No, it can't be
11:54Ware College?
12:09Well, fellas, I got the cards here
12:11Yeah, I mean, it's called a couple of aces, red, and one packet
12:15See, I mean, three cards in my hand
12:17Now, watch it, now
12:18Now, keep your mind on the cards
12:19Eyes right on them, now
12:20I mean, I mean, I'm not trying to make a fool out of you
12:23Nothing like that
12:24Now, keep your mind on it, man
12:25Now, keep your mind
12:26Now, take me the black card
12:30Oh, nasty, nasty
12:31You would know it was that
12:33Because I'm Florida
12:34But you're...
12:36Oh, the quarter, huh?
12:37Huh?
12:39Oh, you're back again
12:41Yes, sir
12:42Yes, sir
12:44Thank you
12:46Well, I'm going to give you a chance again
12:48Your one last chance
12:51Now, I'm going to show it to you
12:52You know, any fool would know
12:54Now, look, I turned that one over
12:55That was a fool
12:57Well, wasn't it a fool?
12:58Now, watch the cards
12:59Now, nasty, you know where the black card is
13:01Yes, sir
13:02Because I'm going to show it to you
13:03Yes, sir
13:04That's it, ain't it?
13:05Yes, sir
13:06Now, watch it, now
13:07Now, watch it, now
13:08You know, I'm going to put that card right back
13:09In the same place that you always had it
13:11Now, pick the card
13:18That's it
13:19Wait, wait a minute
13:20Are you sure?
13:21Certainly, I'm sure
13:24Okay
13:27Pick it up
13:29Yes, sir
13:33Come on, Bert
13:34Pay up, pay up
13:35Come on
13:36That's it, Bert
13:37Come on, that's it
13:38That's it
13:39See you on the night
13:47Now, I wonder who that can be this time of night
13:52Come in
13:59Why, Dean Hargrave
14:00Lucius
14:01Why, bless my soul
14:03And Professor Drury
14:04Well, well, you do look marvelous, my boy
14:07And you look prosperous, too, Lucius
14:10How is that we haven't heard from you in all these years?
14:12Well, uh
14:13Uh, yes, Lucius
14:15Why haven't you communicated with us?
14:17Of course, we weren't expecting you until tomorrow
14:19What?
14:20Expecting me tomorrow?
14:21Well, uh, that's all right
14:23Don't worry about being early, my boy
14:25We can put you up
14:26You can stay in your old bed in the dormitory
14:29Uh, we are so proud that you are the first to arrive
14:33But I have an important phone call to make
14:35And I just came in to ask you if I could use your phone
14:37Why, certainly, Lucius
14:39Why didn't you say so before?
14:41You may use the phone
14:42Uh, there it is, right over there
14:44Thank you, Dean
14:54Long distance
14:55I'd like to reach Mr. Burl Adams
14:57At the Astor Build Hotel, New York
15:00Collect
15:03Burl Adams
15:13Oh, hello?
15:14Yes, yes
15:15Oh, what do you know, Burl?
15:17Oh, you heard about it, huh?
15:19Yes, we will be delayed about 24 hours
15:23Oh, the opening's been set back a week?
15:25Oh, that's fine, that's fine
15:27What?
15:28No, I'm not crazy
15:31Yes
15:33Yes, if you want to reach me, you can reach me at this number
15:37Ware 819-M
15:41Oh, you never heard of Ware College?
15:44What?
15:45Burl, your education has been sadly neglected
15:50Okay
15:51Okay
15:52If there's any changes, you can reach me at this number
15:56So long
16:01I'm sorry, I couldn't help reading that letter from Benjamin Ware III
16:05shutting off the college fund
16:06I didn't know
16:07Oh, yes, Lucas
16:08Unfortunately, it is true
16:10We were going to inform you all about the situation tomorrow
16:13when the others arrive
16:14The others?
16:15Yes, sir, we invited some of our old grads
16:17who we thought might be interested in helping us to save the school
16:20to attend a meeting here tomorrow
16:22They all received the same invitation that we mailed you
16:25Of course, sir, we were not so sure of your address
16:28since we hadn't heard from you in so long
16:30Didn't you receive the letter?
16:32Well, uh, I...
16:33You see, Lucas, the only address we had was
16:36Carroll General Delivery, Chicago, Illinois
16:39So you sent the letter to Lucius Broken Shired Jordan
16:43Carroll General Delivery, Chicago, Illinois
16:46Yes, and we are so glad that you received it
16:48And now it's getting late
16:50And I know you are tired after your long trip
16:52Long trip?
16:53Holy mackerel
16:54I just thought
16:55Would you mind, Dean, if I brought some of my boyfriends up from the station?
16:58Why, certainly, Lucius
17:00We'll be glad to have your boyfriends
17:02We can put them up
17:03We have plenty of room, as you can guess
17:06Bring them along
17:07Thanks, Dean
17:08Hold the phone
17:15You know, Dean
17:16I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:25You know, Lucius
17:26I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:28You know, Lucius
17:29I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:31You know, Lucius
17:32I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:34You know, Lucius
17:35I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:37You know, Lucius
17:38I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:40You know, Lucius
17:41I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:43You know, Lucius
17:44I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:46You know, Lucius
17:47I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:49You know, Lucius
17:50I think Lucius has changed a great deal
17:52You know, Lucius
17:54Good morning, heartache
17:56You old gloomy sigh
17:59Good morning, heartache
18:01Thought we said goodbye last night
18:05I turned and paused
18:07Until it seemed you had gone
18:11But here you are with the dawn
18:17Good morning, heartache
18:19You old gloomy sigh
18:22Wish I'd forget you
18:25But you're here to stay
18:28It seems I met you
18:30When my love went away
18:34Now every day
18:36I start by saying to you
18:40Good morning, heartache
18:42What's new?
18:45Stop haunting me now
18:51Can't shake you, no how
18:57Just leave me alone
19:02I've got those Monday blues
19:05Straight through Sunday blues
19:08Good morning, heartache
19:11Here we go again
19:14Good morning, heartache
19:16You're the one who knew me when
19:20Might as well get used to you
19:23Hanging around
19:26Good morning, heartache
19:28Sit down
19:30I know you'll break my heart again
19:34But come right in, heartache
19:37Sit down
19:39Hey fellas, this is the screwiest, screwiest thing that little Louie ever did.
19:52I mean, I don't mind sleeping here, but these old jackets are out.
19:57Yeah, what's his idea of getting us up this early?
20:00He wants me to go back to school.
20:02You could really stand in school, man, you know that?
20:07Man, man, all you figure is girls, that's all.
20:10Hey, wait a minute, don't wonder at me what's holding Louie away from me.
20:17I want you all to meet one of our old grads.
20:21I am very proud to present Lucious Brokenshire Jordan.
20:28Is he kidding? Why, anybody would know that's Louie Jordan.
20:31My brother's got all his records home.
20:33Gee, I'd better telephone home and tell my brother Louie is here.
20:38Oh yes, Donna, you may leave the room.
20:55Professor Drury, the Dean would like to see you in his study right away.
20:58I'll be right there, Miss Brown.
21:00Oh, by the way, you remember Loucious, former classmate of yours, I believe.
21:04Why, yes, of course.
21:06Oh, hello.
21:07Nice seeing you again, Loucious.
21:09Miss Brown's our athletic instructress, Loucious.
21:13Still the same sweet anniversary.
21:17Pardon me, I must join the professor in the Dean's study.
21:20I do hope I'll see you a little later.
21:22Yes, I have a very important matter I'd like to discuss with you.
21:25Just as soon as you get through with the Dean, meet me there.
21:28Just as soon as you get through with the Dean, meet me right back here.
21:31All right, I'll meet you right here.
21:36By the way, you'd better take over the class for the professor till he returns.
21:45Oh, yes, what is the lesson for the day, kids?
21:48Ah, to heck with the lesson.
21:50How about playing us a number, Mr. Jordan?
21:52Okay, just a minute.
21:59Louis Jordan
22:12Listen, Joe, I tell you it's Louis Jordan, and what's more, he's got his band with him.
22:16You'd better round up the gang and hurry.
22:22Hello? Joe?
22:24Yeah, I'm telling you, it's Louis Jordan and Prez with his band.
22:27They're at the college.
22:28Okay, get the bunch and we'll meet you there.
22:32I see by the professor's chart that this is your geography theory.
22:36So, kids, I would like to take you with me on my recent trip way out west in the land of the buffalo nickel.
22:43I recently took a trip through the wild and woolly west, and in spite of all the morning, I found myself one morning in the terrible town of Skeleton Rest.
23:05In the land of the buffalo nickel.
23:10A two-gun cowboy fella was sipping sarsaparilla through a straw, and, kids, that's just what I saw.
23:18It was in the land of the buffalo nickel.
23:23The wildest-looking Mabel was wearing mink and sable, bless the soil.
23:29Well, pop-struck oil, what kind of west is this, says I to me?
23:36Three thousand miles from Brooklyn, and this I gotta see.
23:40In the land of the buffalo nickel.
23:44A guy what looked like trouble comes running on the double.
23:48Shouts of, stop, hold it.
23:51Let's all have a whipped cream sundae with the cherry on the top.
23:59In the land of the buffalo nickel.
24:03Those outlaws in the canyon greet ladies' home companions as they rise, and, kids, that's just what I find.
24:12In the land of the buffalo nickel.
24:16A rough-and-tumble hombre, while fighting for his laundry, pulls a gun, cause it ain't done.
24:25What kind of west is this, says I to me?
24:29I'm looking for excitement, and this I gotta see.
24:33In the land of the buffalo nickel.
24:38I saw a tea room round up, six maltes, and I wound up on a train.
24:44It's back to where I come from, cause the sights are just the same.
24:50And I ain't got a buffalo nickel to my name.
24:57George, the dean would like to see you in his study.
25:00Okay, Miss Brown.
25:08Do you think that we are going to get thrown out of school again?
25:14Come in.
25:19Lucas, it seems that bad luck is still with us.
25:23Look at all these telegrams to our request.
25:27Nothing but regrets and excuses.
25:30Our plan has failed after all.
25:33We'll have to close the school.
25:37Dean Hargraves, when I was a student at Ware, I used to play my saxophone and sing to myself when things looked hopeless.
25:50You know, Dean, here's a funny little song I made up one night when I was feeling very low, and it went something like this.
25:59Persistency is such a very good habit.
26:02You'll find it in explorers like Mr. Cabot, who sailed across the ocean, away from love and devotion,
26:09but they held true to their course and never had the slightest remorse.
26:13Hold on, like nails into a floor.
26:16Hold on, like hinges to a door.
26:20If you don't know what I'm singing for, hold on, hold on.
26:24Be persistent, Dean, hold on.
26:26Hold on, like cabbage to a lip.
26:29Hold on, like baby to its give.
26:33If you still don't get the drift, hold on, hold on, hold on.
26:38Hold on, hold on, hold on.
26:42Many people have ambition, but don't know how to pull the wires.
26:49Watch a bulldog, he's a smart dog, when he gets something he desires.
26:55Hold on, like a foot to its toe.
26:58Hold on, like baby to her foe.
27:02If lady luck hits you with dough, hold on, hold on, hold on.
27:08Hold on, like a foot to its toe.
27:11Hold on, like baby to her foe.
27:14If lady luck hits you with dough, hold on, hold on, hold on.
27:19Hold on, like a foot to its toe.
27:22Hold on, like baby to her foe.
27:25If lady luck hits you with dough, hold on, hold on, hold on.
27:30Hold on, like a foot to its toe.
27:33Hold on, like baby to her foe.
27:36If lady luck hits you with dough, hold on, hold on, hold on.
27:41Hold on, like baby to her foe.
27:44If lady luck hits you with dough, hold on, hold on, hold on.
27:48Hold on, like baby to her foe.
27:51If lady luck hits you with dough, hold on, hold on, hold on.
27:55Hold on, like baby to her foe.
27:58If lady luck hits you with dough, hold on, hold on, hold on.
28:02Many people have ambition, but don't know how to pull the wire.
28:08Just watch a bulldog.
28:10He's a smart dog when he gets something he desires.
28:14Hold on, like crew members to a mic.
28:17Hold on, to anything you like.
28:21If someone says to hit the pipe, hold on, hold on, hold on.
28:27Now don't give up when things look bad.
28:31Just hold on for a little while.
28:38Well, well, Lucius.
28:40You have improved considerably on your saxophone.
28:50Steve Hargreaves, I wish to speak with you privately.
28:55Mr. Brown, gentlemen, excuse me.
29:13Now, Dean Hargreaves, I would like to know by what authority you have the authority
29:18to write in Congressman Irvington and others appealing for funds.
29:22As you well know, I am the sole executor of the College of State.
29:27Your acting without my knowledge or consent constitutes a violation of your office.
29:32Consequently, I must ask you to submit your resignation immediately.
29:52What is the meaning of this?
30:10While I'm pleased to see such a large attendance,
30:13I must also remind you that this is supposed to be the period for history.
30:19And what you have been just doing is far from historical.
30:27We will proceed with the lesson in history.
30:31And the class will be conducted by a former student of this college,
30:35Mr. Lucius Brokenshire Jordan.
30:51Now, kids, your mother used to fix your lunch,
30:54and you'd come to school and all you'd get was reading and writing and arithmetic.
30:59But the world has progressed now,
31:02Now, the only way you've got to have a beat.
31:05Now, children, let Brother Jordan tell you how to be reached with everyone you meet.
31:10Just get in the groove with that boogie-woogie move,
31:13because today you've got to have a beat.
31:15People today are full of rhythm.
31:17It's in their head or either in their feet.
31:20So you better wake up and get with them,
31:22because today you've got to have a beat.
31:25The world is full of competition,
31:27and you've got to be strong to compete.
31:30If you don't know what it's about,
31:31you'll soon find out that you've really got to have a beat.
31:35The truest thing ever been said is that history always repeats,
31:40because there was a time when jazz was in line,
31:42but today you've got to have the beat.
31:45When Columbus discovered America,
31:47he was in line for the king's crown and seat,
31:50but now he would be just another sailor,
31:52because today you've got to have the beat.
31:54Paul Revere won worldly fame for his daring and brilliant feat.
31:59There's no more need for those kind of deeds,
32:01because today you've got to have the beat.
32:04Romeo won the heart of Juliet with music that was soft and sweet,
32:09but that couldn't happen to the excessive Juliet,
32:11because today you've got to have the beat.
32:14All of you could be successful if you get together and walk on the right street.
32:19The only receipt for success or progress today,
32:21you've got to have the beat.
32:23Old King Cole was a merry old soul.
32:25In his day, he was really all wreaths.
32:28But things have changed, and he's looked very strange,
32:30because today you've got to have the beat.
32:33You could finish Howard, Yale, and Tuskegee,
32:35and your education still wouldn't be complete,
32:38because unless you got that swing, you've got to have that beat.
32:42Chopin wrote some beautiful music,
32:45and to hear it played is really a treat.
32:47It's still okay, but a bit passé,
32:49because today you've got to have the beat.
32:52Now, kids, that's your history lesson for today,
32:55so now let's go on out and play.
33:13This is our mascot, Mr. Jordan.
33:17Ever since our mascot can't see no more,
33:20we don't have any luck in our game.
33:23Oh, I wouldn't worry about it, sonny.
33:26When I was going to school here at Ware,
33:28I used to believe in rabbit feet, lucky charms.
33:31But all that old stuff is just a lot of superstition.
33:34Now, you take this old mule.
33:36He's just as lucky today as he was
33:38when I was going to school here.
33:40Hey, fellas, get your instruments,
33:42and let's tell little Joe about the mule.
33:46Don't start worrying about the mule going blind
33:50Just sit tight and hold that line
33:53Don't worry about the cow being poached
33:55Just drink that milk and ask for more
33:57Don't you worry about that mule
33:59Cause he ain't going blind
34:02Don't you worry about that mule
34:04Baby, you just hold that line
34:07Don't you worry about that mule
34:09Cause you know he ain't no fool
34:12Don't you worry about that mule
34:14Baby, just keep cool
34:17Some flying high and some flying low
34:20Somebody's got to go
34:22You know that I know that he knows that she knows
34:25You better listen to me and take it slow
34:27Don't you worry about that mule
34:29Cause he ain't going blind
34:32Don't you worry about that mule
34:34Baby, you just hold that line
34:42. . .
35:06Some flying high and some flying low
35:09Somebody's got to go
35:11You know that I know that he knows that she knows
35:13You better listen to me and take it slow
35:15Don't you worry about that mule
35:17Cause he ain't going blind
35:20The mule's been loose, he ain't no fool
35:22So sit on your stool and don't worry about the mule
35:28Gee, I bet if the fellas knew that old mule was as lucky now as when he went to school
35:33They'd win that game, Sari
35:35I'm going to tell them
35:41Louie Jordan, now I know why you've become such a famous headliner in show business
35:45You just like to make people happy
35:47Even kids like Joe there
35:49Oh, so now you know, I sort of hope you will
35:51Of course, I've known right along
35:53I hope you don't consider me as old-fashioned as the Dean and Professor Drury
35:57Well, Annabelle darling, when I left Ware, Ohio
36:00I was an unsophisticated kid myself
36:02I didn't know what it was all about
36:04And you know, I still can't account for the acts of providence that brought me back here
36:07But there's one thing I'm not going to miss this time
36:11Well, darling, it took you a long time to do that
36:15And I'm not going to leave without you this time
36:18Oh, but I can't leave Dean Hargraves and Professor Drury just when they need me most
36:22Did you know that Benjamin Ware III is forced to resign and is closing the school?
36:27Oh, no, that's impossible. Something has screwed up
36:30Aaron, take my horse
36:32Oh, that couldn't happen
36:33I happen to know that Benjamin Ware I left enough money in the bank to take care of the school for 100 years
36:39But Louis, Benjamin Ware III is purposely juggling the books of the Ware Fund
36:44in order to make it appear that there's a shortage
36:46He knows how much I love this school
36:48and he thinks he can force me into marrying him in order to save the college
36:51Oh, so that's it
36:53We'll take care of Benjamin Ware III
36:56But in the meantime, let's do some fundraising on our own
37:00Why not save you on entertainment and dance right here in the gym Saturday night?
37:04You know, I think we could pack them in even in Ware, Ohio
37:08Oh, darling, how I love you more than ever
37:11Now, ain't that sweet?
37:14Now, just hold the phone. I'll be right back
37:20Listen, Beryl, get that government income tax friend of mine, Joe Drake
37:23Get him down here on the double
37:25You know, the one that makes out my income tax
37:28I've got a very important job for him
37:30Okay
37:31What's that?
37:33Huh?
37:34Yeah, well, we'll leave here for New York Saturday night, right after the dance
37:39See you
38:05My, my, you boys really do look sharp when you're all dressed up
38:09Miss Brown, you know it's the first time I've had on this school dress since the graduation ball
38:22My, my, aren't we all dressed up
38:26Dean Hargreaves, when you get through jitterbugging with Mr. Lloyd Jordan
38:32I'll be here waiting for you to hand over the keys of the school to me
38:36Or perhaps you'd rather do it now and save yourself the trouble of coming back
38:41Dean Hargreaves, Professor, would you mind leaving me alone with Mr. Benjamin Ware III?
38:46There's something I'd like to tell him privately
38:49Oh, it's all right. Run along and tell Louis I'll be right over to the desk
38:54Now you're being sensible, Annabelle
38:57And if you were to just alter your attitude a little towards me
39:01I might arrange to keep the school going on my money
39:04Mr. Benjamin Ware III, I think you're the lowest man I've ever met
39:09I despise you
39:23I despise you
39:53I despise you
40:18Same old Benjamin Ware, up to your old tricks
40:22With your money and power, you ran me out of town years ago
40:27Now you're trying to wreck the lives of other people that won't bend to your will
40:31I've had just about enough of your meddling, Mr. Lloyd Jordan
40:34You may be a big shot with the hep cats in New York
40:37But I run this town and what I say goes here
40:40I see I'll have to call the police a second time and have you thrown out of town again
40:45Just a minute, just a minute
40:48Look at that, Mr. Benjamin Ware III, before you call the police
40:52That's the bank examiner's report of the Ware College Fund in your local bank
40:58And it says there that you've issued a false statement
41:01There's enough money to run the college for another hundred years
41:04Your grandfather's seen to that and you can't touch a penny of it
41:10I think I'll call the police now
41:13Oh no, I have a better idea
41:16Darling, you run over and tell the professor to keep the dance going
41:22I have a private matter I'd like to take up with Benjamin Ware III
41:27Go right ahead, darling, it won't take long
41:46Hold it, kids! Hold it!
42:12Dean Hargrave, Professor Drury, Miss Brown, ladies and gentlemen and kids
42:17I think Benjamin Ware III has a special announcement to make
42:21Come on, come on! Tell us!
42:27Because of recent developments, we find that it will not be necessary to close Ware College
42:34Yeah!
42:37Nice!
42:40Isn't that wonderful? Isn't that wonderful?
42:43Now, go over there and sit down
42:46Sit down!
42:50And now, kids, I want you all to be seated
42:54We're going to have a little entertainment
42:56We're going to play a number I think you're going to like
42:59Long Leg Lizzy

44:43Long Leg Lizzy is a dizzy gal in town

44:59Lizzy fell in love with a guy named Shorty

46:09Thank you, thank you
46:10Thank you so very much
46:11Now here's a little tune that I'd like to play for you
46:14It has a little story to it
46:16We were driving through Washington and I stopped in front of a café
46:19And went in to get a hamburger
46:20And when I come out, this is what happened
46:28Oh, oh, oh
46:31Oh, oh, oh
46:32Oh, oh, oh
46:33Oh, oh, oh
46:34Oh, oh, oh

47:00Mac Neal, Mac Neal
47:03Don't steal my automobiles
47:07I'll take you to a café
47:09And buy you a big fine meal
47:13Hey, Jack, I gotta do some ride
47:18Soon we gotta come to a divide
47:21I don't want to continue, cause the sign says South Polk, West Virginia.
47:28And that's where my baby lives.
47:31And I ain't going no further.
47:34Hey Jack, I want to be good to you.
47:38And treat you like a brother.
47:41Mmm, McNeil, McNeil, don't steal my wheel.
47:46I'll buy you anything on the menu.
47:49Cause boy, I gotta go to South Polk, West Virginia.
48:14South Polk, South Polk.
48:20South Polk, South Polk.
48:23That's where my baby lives.
48:26And I ain't going no further.
48:29Hey Jack, I want to be good to you.
48:33And treat you like a brother.
48:36Mmm, McNeil, McNeil, don't steal my wheel.
48:41Cause boy, I gotta go to South Polk, West Virginia.
48:46And treat you like a brother.
48:49Mmm, McNeil, McNeil, don't steal my wheel.
48:54I'll buy you anything on the menu.
48:57Cause boy, I gotta go to South Polk, West Virginia.
49:03Washington.
49:06Alexandria.
49:09Richmond.
49:12Norfolk.
49:16Bluefields West.
49:19South Polk, West Virginia.
49:32South Polk, West Virginia.
49:47Thank you kids, thank you, thank you so very much.
49:50Now we'd like to dedicate a tune to Mr. Benjamin Webb III.
49:54And all the fellas like him.
49:56It's called, Be Webb.
50:02Be Webb.
50:08Now fellas, you see these girls with these fine diamonds and fox furs and fine clothes.
50:14Well Jack, they're looking for a husband.
50:17And you're looking at a man who knows.
50:20They ain't fooling.
50:21If you fool around with them, you're going to get yourself a schooling.
50:24If she saves your dough and won't go to a show, be Webb brother.
50:28Be Webb.
50:29Be Webb.
50:30If she's easy to kiss and never resists, be Webb.
50:33Be careful, I'm telling you.
50:35And when you go for a walk, if she just listens while you talk, she's picking a hook in there.
50:39She's picking a hook.
50:40If nobody's looking and she says, taste our cooking, don't do it.
50:44Don't do it.
50:45Don't do it.
50:46If you go to a show and she wants to sit in the back row, bring her down front.
50:50Bring her right down front.
50:52She goes for a snack and wants a booth in the back, be Webb.
50:55Be careful.
50:56If she's used to caviar and fine syrup and when she goes out with you, she wants a hot dog and a malted milk.
51:02She's been used to going to Carnegie Hall.
51:04And when you take out nightclub and she wants to hear one meatball, if she grabs your hand and says, darling, you're such a nice man.
51:10Be Webb.
51:11Be careful, I'm telling you.
51:13Are you listening to me?
51:14No, no, no.
51:15Don't look at her.
51:16Look at me.
51:17Look at me.
51:18I'm trying to save you, brother.
51:19I'm trying to save you.
51:20Look around this way.
51:21Look here.
51:22Look here.
51:23Listen.
51:24Listen.
51:25You better get further, I'm telling you.
51:26You better hit him, I'm telling you.
51:28If she's kind of wild and she says, darling, please give me a try.
51:32Don't do it.
51:33Don't do it.
51:34Don't be weak.
51:35If she looks in your face and just melts into place, let her melt.
51:38Forget it.
51:39And if her mother calls you sonny and asks about your money, that ain't funny, I'm telling you.
51:44Are you paying attention to me?
51:45Are you listening to me?
51:47Oh, look at her, kicking him on the leg, man.
51:49Tell him to not listen.
51:50Let that man alone, child.
51:52Let that man alone.
51:54Listen.
51:55Listen.
51:56Listen.
51:57Listen.
51:58If she calls you on the phone and she says, darling, are you all alone?
51:59Tell her no.
52:00You've got three women with you.
52:01That's right.
52:02That's right.
52:03That's right.
52:04I'm telling you.
52:05I'm trying to tell you to be a man.
52:06Be a man.
52:09Should I tell him about this?
52:11Yeah.
52:12Yeah.
52:13Okay.
52:14This is very important.
52:15No, I don't believe I'll tell him.
52:16No.
52:17No.
52:18No.
52:19Look at her, kicking him on the leg, telling him he better not listen.
52:20Tell him anyway.
52:21Tell him anyway.
52:23I'm going to tell him anyway.
52:24Listen, Jack.
52:25Jack, if you turn out the light and she don't fight.
52:28That's it.
52:29That's it.
52:30Too late.
52:31If you get home about two and you don't know what to do, and you pull back the curtain
52:35and the whole family's looking at you, get your business straight.
52:38And set the date.
52:39And don't be late.
52:40Game.
52:41So, brother, beware!
52:47Beware!
52:53Beware!
52:54Brother, you better beware!
53:14Got a futuristic penthouse in the sky.
53:19Got a big trimotored plane.
53:21But I can fly.
53:24Got everything that's modern and new.
53:28But got an old-fashioned passion for you.
53:33Got a steam yacht anchored right at my back door.
53:38Got a great big swimming pool right in my floor.
53:43Got lots of things that granddad never knew.
53:47But got an old-fashioned passion for you.
53:52Got a thousand modern gadgets that I can stop or start.
