00:00:30Some girls are quickly forgotten And gone with the dawn of the day
00:00:44Some you remember like last glowing embers Fondling your memory and dreams
00:00:53For I'm just a vagabond lover In search of a sweetheart it seems
00:01:02And I know that someday I'll discover The girl of my vagabond dreams
00:01:23Well, that's terrible. Say, Sam, keep your mind on your work, will you?
00:01:45Oh, what's the matter now? Nothing much.
00:01:47It seems the entire band's out of tune, all except you.
00:01:50Yeah? Why are you always picking on me?
00:01:52When you know I can outplay anyone in the band.
00:01:55That's just the trouble. You not only can, but do.
00:01:58Come on now, let's see if we can all do it together, just once.
00:02:02Oh, why can't we quit now? No use getting too good.
00:02:07There's no danger.
00:02:08Say, that guy makes Sitting Bull look like a man of action.
00:02:11Oh, I could play it asleep.
00:02:13Well, come on, let's go.
00:02:15Hey, I wonder where Rudy is.
00:02:17Who cares? He's such a bum sax player, he's no worse anyhow.
00:02:21Gee, if he could only play like he can sing.
00:02:23Here he comes now.
00:02:24Hey, what's the big idea?
00:02:26You're a half an hour late, Rudy.
00:02:28If we were paying salaries, I'd be tempted to dock you.
00:02:31I'm sorry, but I was waiting for this to arrive.
00:02:33Look, it's a brand new, gold-plated, super-toned, deluxe Ted Grant saxophone.
00:02:40Listen to these low notes.
00:02:45Sounds like he's giving himself a bird.
00:02:49That bird reminds me of Fritz Kreisler.
00:02:51Kreisler's no saxophone player, neither is he.
00:02:54Ah, quit your kidding and let's go.
00:02:56We've wasted enough time already.
00:03:01And let's play it slowly, so we can hear those low notes.
00:03:49How'd you like that?
00:03:50It was great, wasn't it, boys?
00:03:53Well, I've certainly got to hand it to you, Rudy.
00:03:55But where did you learn to play the saxophone like that?
00:03:58Yeah, you weren't playing like that six months ago.
00:04:00I got it from studying with the greatest saxophone player of all time, from Ted Grant.
00:04:06You mean that mail-order guy?
00:04:09Sure, why, he discovered Ben Gurney and Ted Lewis.
00:04:12I read all about it in his ads.
00:04:15Do you believe everything you read?
00:04:17Never mind.
00:04:18He's a remarkable man.
00:04:20Why, it's his influence that made me practice hours every day.
00:04:23He's a great guy, all right.
00:04:25I say, he's got one of the biggest band organizations in the country.
00:04:29And if we could only hook up with his outfit...
00:04:31Ah, do you mean to say a man like Ted Grant would be interested in a small-town outfit like this?
00:04:36Why not?
00:04:37Why, he's almost a personal friend of mine.
00:04:40Just see the way he writes to me.
00:04:43Read that last paragraph.
00:04:46And in concluding this course, let me tell you that at all times I shall follow your work as my pupil with heartfelt interest
00:04:54and hope that you will bring your problems of the future to me as an old friend.
00:04:59Cordially, Ted Grant.
00:05:02Imagine it, following the work of all his pupils like that.
00:05:05And that isn't all.
00:05:07Read this.
00:05:10Mr. Grant has rented a home in the smart summer resort of Longport, Long Island,
00:05:15where hereafter he will spend his idle hours scanning the work of his pupils as received by mail
00:05:21in the hope of finding promising material for the many profitable positions
00:05:25awaiting the graduates of the Ted Grant correspondence method.
00:05:28Well, it sounds all right, but how are we going to get to him?
00:05:32I have it.
00:05:34We'll jump a train to Longport.
00:05:36Go right out there and see him personally.
00:05:38And get thrown out?
00:05:40Oh, he wouldn't treat a graduate of the correspondence course that way.
00:05:43Why not leave it to me as leader?
00:05:45I know the man.
00:05:46We'll take our instruments, our clothes.
00:05:48We'll go out there and play for him, and I know he'll sign us right up.
00:06:08Silly girl.
00:06:36Silly girl.
00:06:40Now listen, Ted.
00:06:42About next week's work.
00:06:44Work?
00:06:45Say, give me a rest, will you?
00:06:56You're wasting your talents managing me.
00:06:58You ought to be managing a war.
00:07:00Oh, now see here, Ted.
00:07:01You haven't any right to talk to me like that.
00:07:03Why, you don't appreciate the management that I'm giving you.
00:07:06Doubling in two shows with your radio dates and your nightclub work.
00:07:09And now the best money-making proposition that we've had yet.
00:07:12The correspondence school of music.
00:07:14Yeah, and running me ragged with it.
00:07:16Me, the greatest living band leader.
00:07:18The man who made America jazz-minded.
00:07:20The man who discovered Ben Burney, Ted Lewis, the Six Brown Brothers.
00:07:24Yeah, you left out Sousa.
00:07:25Well, I'm too tired to think.
00:07:27Why should a man of my ability have to remember who he discovered?
00:07:29No reason at all.
00:07:36So you put out a lot of newspaper publicity about this Longport house.
00:07:40That's caused me more annoyance in 24 hours than I'd get in a whole season in town.
00:07:44Phone calls and telegrams from nut amateurs in every part of the country.
00:07:48Yeah, but don't you see?
00:07:49That's advertising the correspondence school of music.
00:07:52And you get 10% of the returns on that.
00:07:55And 100% of the troubles.
00:07:57I wish I'd never let my name to it.
00:07:59Since I moved in yesterday, I'll bet I answered that phone 40 times before I had the service cut off.
00:08:04They even come in person.
00:08:05Yeah, but listen, there's only one done that.
00:08:07He's equal to 40 himself.
00:08:09Well, just keep on refusing to see him.
00:08:10He'll wear himself out.
00:08:19And these people next door.
00:08:21This Mrs. Whitehall.
00:08:23I suppose she'll wear herself out.
00:08:24Yeah, but she hasn't called in person.
00:08:26No, but she called up three times and sent two messages.
00:08:29Well, I played her musical tonight.
00:08:31Out of neighborliness.
00:08:33Imagine me at a hit musical.
00:08:42What's that?
00:08:43Yogi'll get it.
00:08:44Tell him I'm in bed with a smallpox.
00:08:47No, no.
00:08:48Yes, I am.
00:08:49I'm going to see him this time.
00:08:50Yes, I am.
00:08:52Mr. Grant.
00:08:56Now, what's the blazes?
00:08:57You don't know me, Mr. Grant.
00:08:59Oh, yes, I do.
00:09:00You're the guy I refused to see five times already today.
00:09:02Right now, I'll make an even half dozen.
00:09:04But I want you to listen to me.
00:09:06That is, to us.
00:09:07Now, wait a minute, kid.
00:09:08You can't expect Mr. Grant to match his time that's worth a thousand bucks an hour.
00:09:12Against yours, it's worth probably two bits a month.
00:09:14Well, Mr. Grant, as one artist to another,
00:09:18Now, listen, son.
00:09:19It's no use.
00:09:20I'm not looking for any more musicians,
00:09:22and I wouldn't listen to another amateur band for a Texas guy myself.
00:09:25You don't understand.
00:09:26We've come all the way down from Waterville just to have you listen to us.
00:09:29Well, I'm a graduate of the Ted Grant Correspondent School.
00:09:32Throw him out.
00:09:33Will you throw him out?
00:09:34Come on.
00:09:35Come on.
00:09:36Get outside.
00:09:37Get outside.
00:09:38I'm a graduate of the Ted Grant Correspondent School.
00:09:41Open the door.
00:09:42Come on.
00:09:43Open the door.
00:09:44I'm a graduate of the Ted Grant Correspondent School.
00:09:45Open the door.
00:09:46Come on.
00:09:47All right, boy.
00:09:53What'd he say?
00:09:56No.
00:10:01No?
00:10:04Well, what are we going to do now?
00:10:07I don't know.
00:10:11Aw, gee, Rudy.
00:10:12We've got to get in there.
00:10:13We've got to play for this guy.
00:10:15I'll tell you what to do.
00:10:16There must be some way of getting in here.
00:10:18Aw, come on, boy.
00:10:19Let's get in there and set up and play for this guy.
00:10:22That's a good idea.
00:10:23Come on.
00:10:24He's got to listen to us.
00:10:25What do you say?
00:10:26Aw, come on.
00:10:27Come on, Rudy.
00:10:28Sure he will.
00:10:29He'll listen.
00:10:30Here.
00:10:31What's the idea?
00:10:32You and I are going back to town for a rest.
00:10:34Aw, now say listen.
00:10:35Be reasonable.
00:10:36Reasonable, my eye.
00:10:37I'm going to spend the next three days on Times Square
00:10:40when they don't read the other guy's publicity.
00:10:42Yogi, leave a note and tell them I won't be back till Tuesday.
00:10:45But you just moved in.
00:10:46Aw, shut up.
00:10:47Who's running this?
00:10:55Aw, come on.
00:10:56Yogi will drive us down with her.
00:10:58I know amateurs, neighbors, or musicals, or any other darn thing.
00:11:02OK, but let's go.
00:11:03Come on.
00:11:07All right, Stephen.
00:11:08That'll be all.
00:11:10Oh, Stephen.
00:11:11Stephen, don't forget my bag.
00:11:18Oh.
00:11:26Andy, dear.
00:11:27Who do you suppose they are?
00:11:29Oh, they're beggars.
00:11:30Gangsters.
00:11:31Oh, I'll call the police.
00:11:33I'll call the police.
00:11:42Oh.
00:12:01Say, there's nobody here.
00:12:03Maybe they're all upstairs.
00:12:05Say, don't you think we're kind of forcing ourselves on him?
00:12:08That's the only way.
00:12:09Andy, you brought us all the way down here to play for this bird,
00:12:12and we're going to play for him no matter.
00:12:15I guess you're right.
00:12:16You know, we're doing him a favor
00:12:18and giving him first chance to hear all this new talent.
00:12:21Well, if he's the guy you say he is,
00:12:24we oughtn't to have any trouble landing with him.
00:12:26Well, let's set up.
00:12:27I'll bet we'll knock him dead with his first tune.
00:12:30OK.
00:12:32Hello, hello.
00:12:34Is this the police station?
00:12:36Oh, yes, well, I want to report a burglary.
00:12:38Yes.
00:12:39Yes, yes.
00:12:40Yes, yes.
00:12:41This is Mrs. Ethel Berta Whitehall speaking.
00:12:45Yes, Mrs. Whitehall herself.
00:12:48Yes.
00:12:49Well, my niece and myself saw a gang of strangers
00:12:53breaking into a neighbor's house.
00:12:55Yes.
00:12:56Yes, the house rented by Mr. Grant, the band leader.
00:12:59What?
00:13:00Yes, you'll be right up.
00:13:02Oh.
00:13:03Oh, yes, well, we'll be waiting.
00:13:05Oh, my dear.
00:13:07You remember that robbery of two weeks ago, you know.
00:13:09I...
00:13:10Oh, my pearls.
00:13:11I don't remember what I did with my pearls.
00:13:14Did I put them in the safe?
00:13:15Oh, my pearls.

00:16:47Oh, my pearls.
00:16:48Oh, my pearls.
00:16:49Oh, my pearls.
00:16:50Oh, my pearls.
00:16:51Oh, my pearls.
00:16:52Oh, my pearls.
00:16:53Oh, my pearls.
00:16:54Oh, my pearls.
00:16:55Oh, my pearls.
00:16:56Oh, my pearls.
00:16:57Oh, my pearls.
00:16:58Oh, my pearls.
00:16:59Oh, my pearls.
00:17:00Oh, my pearls.
00:17:01Oh, my pearls.
00:17:02Oh, my pearls.
00:17:03Oh, my pearls.
00:17:04Oh, my pearls.
00:17:05Oh, my pearls.
00:17:10I love you, believe me
00:17:15I love you
00:17:18Best thing is a dream on my heart
00:17:25I need you, believe me, I need you I'll be blue when we two are apart
00:17:42You'll be my one inspiration You'll change my whole life from the start
00:17:57I love you, believe me, I love you This thing is a dream of my heart
00:18:19Oh, Mr. Grant, I'm so pleased to meet you. How could we ever make such a silly mistake?
00:18:29Oh, don't, don't apologize. It might happen to anyone.
00:18:33Oh, but you see, we are your nearest neighbors. And this, this is my niece, Jean.
00:18:40You mustn't mind Auntie. She so wanted to meet you. That's why she was so anxious to protect your property.
00:18:52Did you want to meet me?
00:18:54Oh, I've always wanted to meet Ted Grant.
00:18:57Well then, that's who I am, all right.
00:19:02Oh, then you got my notes about the musicale.
00:19:07Oh, yes, yes, of course. I got them all right.
00:19:11Oh, and you'll come. Oh, Mr. Grant, please say you'll come.
00:19:17Where to?
00:19:19Why, to play at my musicale.
00:19:22Ah, you didn't answer me, but I shall chastise you. I know you're going to come.
00:19:30Oh, imagine, imagine Mrs. Todd-Hunter when she knows that Mr. Ted Grant is going to play for us.
00:19:38That's Andy's hated social rival. It does seem silly, but it's so important to her.
00:19:44Not at all, my dear. Not at all.
00:19:47It's simply because I, I, I resent very much the way Mrs., Mrs. Todd-Hunter acts on our benefit committee meetings.
00:19:54Trying to run the whole show and everything, just because she knows a lot of opera singers.
00:20:00Oh, Mr. Grant, she's going to bring them with her tonight to my musicale, just to show how important she is.
00:20:07Really, really, it's too annoying.
00:20:11Yes, it, it certainly is.
00:20:14Oh, but Mr. Grant, if you would come to our little affair, then bring your boys with you.
00:20:22Then we could introduce you as our friends.
00:20:27Well, I'll tell you, Mrs. Todd-Hunter.
00:20:30Oh, I mean Mrs. Whitehall.
00:20:33We had originally intended to leave town on the six o'clock train.
00:20:38Hey, what's this?
00:20:40Well, it's just that tomorrow is Sunday and the first train doesn't go out till six o'clock.
00:20:46We thought that maybe...
00:20:47I mean this note.
00:20:49It says here, notice to tradesmen, Mr. Grant will wait till Tuesday.
00:20:54Please hold all deliveries.
00:20:56Oh, that.
00:20:59Yes, that.
00:21:00Says you'll wait till Tuesday.
00:21:03Getting so you can't believe anything you read.
00:21:07Trying to kid the country cop, eh?
00:21:09He means he was thinking of going and then changed his mind.
00:21:14Oh, I left this note on the door, huh?
00:21:16Why, yes, that's it.
00:21:17We were just thinking of going.
00:21:20But you're not going now, huh?
00:21:22No, of course not.
00:21:24Why should we?
00:21:25Yes, why indeed.
00:21:28Oh, then you'll be here for our musical tonight, won't you?
00:21:33Why, yes.
00:21:35I guess we will.
00:21:36Oh, that's so good of you, Mr. Grant.
00:21:39Oh, imagine my party.
00:21:41Mr. Grant and his band to boot.
00:21:44Oh, really, I'm eternally grateful.
00:21:47And so am I.
00:21:50We're delighted, aren't we, boys?
00:21:55I think you're very nice, Mr. Grant.
00:21:58We won't forget.
00:22:00Goodbye.
00:22:08Don't forget.
00:22:09The musical's at 8 o'clock tonight.
00:22:13Goodbye for the moment.
00:22:16Goodbye.
00:22:17Oh, and Gene and I want you to know that we hope to see a great deal of all of you boys while you stay here.
00:22:26And I wish to tell you that I don't care for grand opera.
00:22:30No, no, no.
00:22:31I'm too American.
00:22:32Too American.
00:22:33Jazz.
00:22:34Oh, I just adore jazz.
00:22:36I don't know.
00:22:37It does, it kind of does something to me.
00:22:41Just an Indian.
00:22:42Just an Indian.
00:22:50Hey, buddy.
00:22:51Don't forget I got my eye on you.
00:22:54You and your band to boot.
00:22:57Hey, I don't like that to boot.
00:23:11What did you want to tell him that I was Ted Grant for?
00:23:14Well, I hate jails.
00:23:15They're so cold and damp.
00:23:17That was a deliberate deception.
00:23:19A lie.
00:23:20I hate doing a thing like this.
00:23:22Don't hand us any of that.
00:23:24Well, that girl said she was crazy about meeting Ted Grant.
00:23:27You began to look more like him than he does himself.
00:23:30I know it.
00:23:31I ended into this thing deliberately.
00:23:33That's why I feel so rotten now.
00:23:35What do you mean?
00:23:36I mean we could have told the truth.
00:23:39We could have explained.
00:23:40Well, not to that cop.
00:23:41Oh, yes, we could.
00:23:43But I stood for it because, well, I wanted to make a hit with that girl.
00:23:49What?
00:23:50Yes.
00:23:51You see, I've always wanted to be a great orchestra director just like Ted Grant.
00:23:56And when I saw how she felt about him, I let her go on believing I was him.
00:24:02Now, I've gone and balled up everything forever.
00:24:07No, you haven't, old boy.
00:24:08Tell you what we'll do.
00:24:10Now, we'll play at this trick party tonight because, well, because we'll have to.
00:24:14And we'll stay here until tomorrow and grab the 6 o'clock train tomorrow evening.
00:24:18Why, that cop can't stop us.
00:24:20Nothing to be scared of.
00:24:21Not a thing.
00:24:50Oh, dear, Mrs. Poundhunter, your friends sing beautifully.
00:25:10Really, they've made quite an occasion of your little party, haven't they, Mrs. Whitehall?
00:25:15I almost feel it is your party, my dear.
00:25:19Oh, yes.
00:25:20It does brighten a soirée if one can count among one's guests a few of the people who
00:25:26really amount to something.
00:25:28Yourself, for example.
00:25:30Dear, Mrs. Poundhunter.
00:25:32So nice of you to say so, my dear.
00:25:35I think the pianist is trying to catch your eye.
00:25:39Oh, yes.
00:25:40I must now introduce some of the other singers.
00:25:43Don't tell me you, too, have some famous artists for us.
00:25:48Oh, yes.
00:25:49Just the poor little orphans.
00:25:52I thought if they sang tonight, it might advertise them for our benefits tomorrow.
00:25:57Oh, yes.
00:25:58It is difficult to make a program for these little musicals unless one knows the right
00:26:04people.
00:26:05Precisely, my dear.
00:26:07Precisely.
00:26:08Friends!
00:26:09Friends!
00:26:10Friends!
00:26:11Friends!
00:26:13Friends!
00:26:14Friends!
00:26:15Friends!
00:26:16Friends!
00:26:17I wish to announce the next numbers.
00:26:20Some little children from the orphan's home.
00:26:24As you know, tomorrow sees the opening of our benefit performance for these poor children.
00:26:31A varied program each and every night for the next two weeks in the Garden Amphitheater
00:26:39so graciously donated by Mrs. Todd Hunter.
00:26:47The benefit committee, of which I am chairman, hopes you'll buy a great many tickets and
00:26:54bring your friends, for it must be a complete success or the orphanage cannot carry on their
00:27:03work for the year.
00:27:09When I was young, my mother used to tell me some fairy tales of folk you didn't know
00:27:29But now I found that Georgie, and calling Georgie Porgie, there's quite another reason
00:27:38why I cry.
00:27:41Oh, Georgie Porgie, cuddly and kind, he kissed some girls and made them all cry.
00:27:54At least that's what the story will say, but now somehow it's different today.
00:28:05For Georgie Porgie, cuddly and kind, consists of men with wicked eyes that make them dizzy.
00:28:18I only wish that he would just kiss me.
00:28:38Cute, don't you think?
00:28:40I just love children, don't you?
00:28:42I guess our likes are pretty much the same.
00:28:46And now, my dear friends, I wish to announce the final number.
00:28:53A very dear friend and neighbor of mine, Mr. Ted Grant and his famous band.
00:29:02They are here as my guests.
00:29:16Hi.
00:29:28Honey, I've never met a girl like you before.
00:29:31Interested in a thing like a charity benefit.
00:29:34And I've never met a man like you before.
00:29:37You're not at all the way I thought you'd be.
00:29:40Not a bit like a famous jazz band leader.
00:29:43You're not the way I thought you'd be either.
00:29:46I? Well, you couldn't have thought of me before.
00:29:49You didn't even know I was on there.
00:29:52Oh, yes, I did.
00:29:54I always knew that I was going to meet a girl like you someday.
00:30:00Now, the boys are playing a song that I wrote about that girl.
00:30:06And I'm going to sing it to you right now.
00:30:25If you were the only girl
00:30:32If you were the only girl in the world
00:30:37And I were the only boy
00:30:46Nothing else would matter in this world today
00:30:56We could go on loving in the same old way
00:31:05A garden of Eden just made for two
00:31:14With nothing to mark our joy
00:31:24I would say such wonderful things to you
00:31:34There would be such wonderful things to do
00:31:43If you were the only girl in the world
00:31:53And I were the only boy
00:32:29That was just beautiful.
00:32:39Oh, Mr. Grant, you were the head of the evening.
00:32:42Wasn't he, Mrs. Todd Hunter?
00:32:44Oh, it was quite interesting.
00:32:46So different, though, from the trained operatic voices.
00:32:49Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could induce Mr. Grant to head our benefit program tomorrow night?
00:32:56But we haven't secured our manager's permission.
00:32:58But suppose we secure permission?
00:33:01Well, I'm afraid a plain jazz band wouldn't be quite suitable on a program with real concerts and operatic artists.
00:33:07Mr. Grant says hardly a plain jazz band.
00:33:11Well, I'm sure my operatic friends would view it as such.
00:33:14I know the artistic temperaments.
00:33:17They would never intend to appear on a program which lacked artistic dignity.
00:33:21I'm quite right. Quite right.
00:33:23So good of you to say so, Mr. Grant.
00:33:25You understand.
00:33:29Oh, Mr. Grant, I hope you're not offended.
00:33:32Not at all. Really.
00:33:34But you have every right to be.
00:33:36She was so tactless.
00:33:38But I haven't finished with her, I can tell you.
00:33:41I shall place the matter to the committee and insist that you head the benefit program tomorrow night.
00:33:50And Andy will insist, too. You can be sure of that.
00:33:53But I don't want her to insist.
00:33:55She won't let you be insulted in her house.
00:33:58An orphanage benefit can't have too much dignity.
00:34:01No one can impose on Andy when she gets her back up.
00:34:04She'll do anything to get even with anyone who tries to injure her social prestige or make a fool of her.
00:34:10You don't say.
00:34:11If she's really angry, she'll do anything to get even with anyone.
00:34:16She's like one of those queens who chop people's heads off or send them to prison for life.
00:34:22To prison?
00:34:23If they stand in her way.
00:34:25Pretense is what Andy hates.
00:34:31I tell you, I wouldn't be the person to have her after me for anything in the world.
00:34:35She had her dressmaker fined $5,000 once for pretending to sell her imported models.
00:34:40And then there was that cook of ours who swindled us on the household accounts.
00:34:44She had him sent to jail. Yes, actually to jail.
00:34:48That's why I'm so glad she likes you.
00:34:51For she really does.
00:34:54Maybe I'd better go get him. It's getting near train time.
00:34:58It's all your fault for telling her he was Ted Grant.
00:35:01And he'd better be Ted Grant until that 6 o'clock train pulls out.
00:35:05That cop was around here again this morning.
00:35:07Yeah? Doing what?
00:35:09Asking questions about Rudy.
00:35:11He said the more he looked at him, the less he reminded him of a great band leader.
00:35:15Well, I don't know.
00:35:17Asking questions about Rudy.
00:35:19He said the more he looked at him, the less he reminded him of a great band leader.
00:35:24My nerves are shot to pieces.
00:35:26So are mine.
00:35:28All piped down.
00:35:31I got it, boys.
00:35:33Let's play that new love ditty he loves so well.
00:35:35That one called A Little Kiss Each Morning, A Little Kiss Each Night.
00:35:39Great idea. Okay, let's play it.
00:35:47A Little Kiss Each Morning
00:36:18This has been the most wonderful day of my life.
00:36:23That's strange.
00:36:25I feel the same way.
00:36:27You know, it seems as though I'd always known you.
00:36:31I wish we always had known one another.
00:36:36What's that melody?
00:36:38It's a song that was meant just for us.
00:36:43That was meant just for us.
00:36:52We'll be so happy
00:36:55We'll always sing
00:36:58If we remember
00:37:02One little thing
00:37:05A little kiss each morning
00:37:11A little kiss each night
00:37:17Who cares if hard luck
00:37:20May be ahead
00:37:23An empty cupboard
00:37:27A crust of bread
00:37:30A little kiss each morning
00:37:36A little kiss each night
00:37:42Dreams may disappoint us
00:37:47As they often do
00:37:53Bring your tears to me, dear
00:37:59I'll bring mine to you
00:38:06Though hair so golden
00:38:10May turn to grey
00:38:13I'll call you sweetheart
00:38:17And always say
00:38:20A little kiss each morning
00:38:28A little kiss each night
00:38:40It's almost half past five.
00:38:43Your car should be here almost any minute now.
00:38:46I wish you didn't have to go into town for that rehearsal.
00:38:49I wish I didn't too.
00:38:51Oh, you've made me forget all about my music.
00:38:54I've always wanted to know a real musician.
00:38:57An artist with sincerity.
00:38:59Sincerity?
00:39:01That's what your music makes me feel about you.
00:39:04You just couldn't be anybody but yourself.
00:39:07Oh, when you sing like that.
00:39:09I wish you'd go on forever.
00:39:13Would you be willing to go on with me forever?
00:39:19Why, I...
00:39:21Pardon me.
00:39:24Is Mrs. Whitehall here?
00:39:26No, Adams.
00:39:27I have a telegram for her.
00:39:29Just leave it on the table.
00:39:35Now I wonder what that telegram's about.
00:39:39So do I.
00:39:41It's funny that Andy hasn't come home.
00:39:44Something must have happened at her committee meeting.
00:39:48Say, we'd better go get that guy.
00:39:51You wait here.
00:39:54Will you be coming back tomorrow?
00:39:58If I wasn't, would you mind?
00:40:02What a silly question.
00:40:04I might have to stay in town, for instance.
00:40:07Then I come down and see you and hear you play.
00:40:10I'm going to be a Ted Grant fan.
00:40:14I'm going to be a Ted Grant fan.
00:40:17But supposing I wasn't Ted Grant?
00:40:20If you weren't famous?
00:40:22Well, I'd like you just the same.
00:40:24No matter who you were.
00:40:27Jean, I've got to tell you something.
00:40:30Maybe I'll make you hate me.
00:40:32But I've just got to tell you.
00:40:35I'm not what you think I am.
00:40:37I'm...
00:40:44Oh, Mr. Grant.
00:40:46What a relief to find you here.
00:40:48Yes, I was just going.
00:40:50Oh, thank heavens you haven't gone.
00:40:52It's very important.
00:40:53Why, Andy, what's happened?
00:40:55I won!
00:40:56At what?
00:40:57At the committee meeting, of course.
00:40:59Your band.
00:41:00Your band plays tonight.
00:41:04You mean Mrs. Todd Henry
00:41:06consented to let Mr. Grant head the program?
00:41:09You mean Mrs. Todd Henry
00:41:11consented to let Mr. Grant head the program?
00:41:13I should say she didn't.
00:41:15And what a peace of my mind I gave her.
00:41:18And the committee backed me up.
00:41:20Especially when I told them how anxious
00:41:22Mr. Grant was to help us.
00:41:25Of course I did want to help.
00:41:27But with the other artists in the program objecting...
00:41:30They're not on the program anymore.
00:41:32Not at all, not at all.
00:41:34They've all motored back to New York.
00:41:36What?
00:41:38Exactly, my dear.
00:41:39She said that they refused to appear on the program
00:41:43with a jazz band, no matter how famous.
00:41:46And of course the committee insisted on having Mr. Grant.
00:41:48And she withdrew their names.
00:41:51A complete triumph for me, I assure you.
00:41:54But, Andy, without the operatic stars
00:41:56we can't make the benefit a success.
00:41:58The broadcasting people say that Mr. Grant
00:42:00will be a far bigger attraction.
00:42:03Why, most of the people will have heard of him
00:42:05in New York many times.
00:42:08You mean they've heard and seen Ted Grant personally?
00:42:12Why, of course.
00:42:13They're your regular fans.
00:42:15You know, the ones you play for at the theater
00:42:18and the smart nightclubs.
00:42:20With a debutante, numbers will be a great success.
00:42:24Oh, you will do the best you can for us,
00:42:26won't you, Mr. Grant?
00:42:28But I told you before, it's impossible.
00:42:31We must secure our manager's permission.
00:42:33I've taken care of that
00:42:35with a wire direct from the committee meeting.
00:42:38We got your manager's address
00:42:40from the broadcasting people in New York,
00:42:43told him that you were here,
00:42:44wanted to help us,
00:42:45and offering to accept his turn.
00:42:48You said that I was here
00:42:50and that I wanted to play?
00:42:52Why, of course.
00:42:53And your whole band.
00:42:55That was right, wasn't it?
00:42:57The answer should be here by now.
00:43:00But Jean...
00:43:01That must be what?
00:43:03Jean, please.
00:43:04That must be what the butler was trying to find you for.
00:43:07What was the butler?
00:43:08Come on, come, speak up.
00:43:09What is it?
00:43:10Yes, come, come.
00:43:12Well, I really have forgotten.
00:43:15Well, then I'll see the butler.
00:43:17It must be the telegram.
00:43:18Excuse me.
00:43:30Why didn't you want Andy to read that telegram?
00:43:33Jean, there was something I wanted to tell you.
00:43:36But it's too late now.
00:43:38About the telegram?
00:43:40Read it.
00:43:41Why, it's addressed to Andy.
00:43:43It will concern you.
00:43:44Oh, I don't believe it.
00:43:46Read it.
00:43:47Band operating in your neighborhood is fake.
00:44:01Have wired police to arrest all concerned and hold till I arrive with Mr. Grant.
00:44:14Impossible, play your benefit.
00:44:16As cannot arrive till late evening.
00:44:19Jay Stein.
00:44:20Jean, I wanted to tell you.
00:44:22I was trying to tell you.
00:44:24You're not Ted Grant.
00:44:27No.
00:44:29You've been lying.
00:44:31Imposing on us.
00:44:33Oh, Jean, you don't understand.
00:44:35Let me explain.
00:44:48Why, what's the matter?
00:44:49What's happened?
00:44:50We saw the cops coming and beat it.
00:44:51How far is it to the station?
00:44:52It's a half mile across country.
00:44:54You mean me run half a mile?
00:44:56We'll never make that six o'clock train without a car.
00:44:58Then we're soaked.
00:44:59Well, I don't mind the bread, but gee, I hate water.
00:45:01Wait a minute.
00:45:02I'll take you in my car.
00:45:03What?
00:45:04It's not the back way.
00:45:05Oh, I can't let you do this.
00:45:06You can't be arrested in Nanny's house.
00:45:08Boys, are we going to hide behind a woman's skirt?
00:45:10Sure.
00:45:11Come on, hurry up.
00:45:12Let's go.
00:45:13Come on.
00:45:18Where are the criminals?
00:45:19Oh, Officer Stuffel.
00:45:20Tuttle, Tuttle.
00:45:21Tuttle.
00:45:22Yeah, well, what is it?
00:45:23What's the matter?
00:45:24Well, where are the crooks?
00:45:25There's Ted Grant, Faceman, Bansman, and this bunch of criminals.
00:45:29They went that way, sir.
00:45:30They went that doggone way.
00:45:32What?
00:45:33Yes.
00:45:34Oh, Adams.
00:45:35Oh, I...
00:45:36You call them crooks?
00:45:37We all in?
00:45:38Yes.
00:45:39All in.
00:46:00But how am I going to see you again?
00:46:02You aren't going to see me again.
00:46:04Ever.
00:46:05Oh, I know I've been to blame.
00:46:07It's been a terrible mistake that I'd give anything to undo.
00:46:10You'd better go.
00:46:11You'll miss your train.
00:46:13I'm not going until I know that you've forgiven me.
00:46:16Oh, have I hurt you so much?
00:46:18I don't understand.
00:46:20Why did you save us from the police then?
00:46:22Oh, I just couldn't see you punished that way.
00:46:25We'd have deserved it.
00:46:26You don't know, Andy.
00:46:27She'd never forgive you.
00:46:28She'd make them give you a prison sentence.
00:46:30Oh, I don't care about her.
00:46:32I want you to know just how sorry I am.
00:46:35It isn't myself that counts.
00:46:37It isn't Andy's humiliation.
00:46:39It's something far greater than any of us.
00:46:41Something you and your friends have forgotten about.
00:46:43That's the real sufferer.
00:46:45What is that?
00:46:46The children of the orphanage.
00:46:48Why, what do you mean?
00:46:49Oh, you spoil the whole benefit.
00:46:51Andy trusted you and counted on you.
00:46:53The other artists have gone back to New York.
00:46:56Grant won't arrive until much later,
00:46:57and there'll be no time to get anyone else to head the program this evening.
00:47:01I never thought of that.
00:47:03We'll have to return all the ticket money.
00:47:05What's left of the fund must go to the broadcasting people.
00:47:08It's hardly worthwhile giving the other performances
00:47:11if this one is such a failure.
00:47:13What can I do?
00:47:14Oh, it's too late to do anything.
00:47:16You've had your joke at the expense of a great charity,
00:47:18the one we've worked so hard for.
00:47:21And because of your thoughtlessness, children were suffered.
00:47:24Oh, I could never forgive you for that.
00:47:26Oh, Jean.
00:47:27I never want to see you again.
00:47:35Come on, the train's moving.
00:47:36I'm not going.
00:47:37What?
00:47:38She's right about that benefit.
00:47:40Look at who she is.
00:47:41Are we going to miss this train?
00:47:42I am.
00:47:43Have you gone nuts?
00:47:45I'm going to go back there and offer to sing, play, or do anything that'll help.
00:47:48Why, you're crazy, Bill.
00:47:49Jail you.
00:47:50I don't care.
00:47:51I'm going to take my medicine.
00:47:52Oh, come on.
00:47:53Let's catch this train.
00:47:54Go ahead.
00:47:56Not me you won't.
00:47:57Because I'm going to be right there with you.
00:47:59What?
00:48:00You think I'd let you take this alone?
00:48:01Why, I'm endless as much as you are.
00:48:03That's right.
00:48:04Boys, we're all in this together.
00:48:06In a fruities game, let's stick to it.
00:48:08Oh, I can't let you all do that.
00:48:10Say, if it'll help them for us to play, we'll play.
00:48:12Let's get a taxi.
00:48:13Come on.
00:48:14Hey, taxi!
00:48:25Hey, buddy.
00:48:26Hey!
00:48:53Now, pardon me, Mrs. Whitehall.
00:48:54Stevens of the news.
00:48:55Oh, how do you do, Mr. Stevens?
00:48:58Tell me, who first introduced this imposter to your friends as Ted Grant?
00:49:03I did.
00:49:04I did.
00:49:05I see.
00:49:06Well, when did you first notice your niece's romantic interest in him?
00:49:10When she ran away with the vagabond.
00:49:14Quiet!
00:49:15I'm the herald.
00:49:16Where can we get a photograph of this niece now?
00:49:19I don't intend to answer any more questions.
00:49:21But you've got to.
00:49:22It's front page stuff.
00:49:23But, my dear lady, we're giving you a million dollars worth of free publicity.
00:49:28Can't you just see it, boys, eh?
00:49:30Eris elopes with the...
00:49:32What does she call him?
00:49:33Oh, vagabond.
00:49:35Auntie Rages.
00:49:36Secret love nest.
00:49:37Her vagabond lover.
00:49:39There's a head for you.
00:49:41Yeah.
00:49:44Pardon me, Mrs. Whitehall.
00:49:45I met you with the lay troops at Palm Beach last winter.
00:49:49Oh, how nice of you to remember.
00:49:51Now, in the interest of the police gazette...
00:49:55Might I ask you if your niece has ever been photographed in a bathing suit?
00:50:01What?
00:50:06Go away.
00:50:07Go away.
00:50:14I don't intend to answer another question.
00:50:16Go away.
00:50:18Go away.
00:50:19Besides, boys, we're not so sure she did run away with these crooks.
00:50:24Maybe they ran away with her, huh?
00:50:27Well, that's my theory.
00:50:28A kidnapping.
00:50:29Hot dog.
00:50:30Would you say hypnotism had been used?
00:50:34Well, I wouldn't say positively, but...
00:50:37You might print the fact that...
00:50:40Chief George C. Tuttle expects some startling disclosures within 24 hours.
00:50:45Two Ts in Tuttle.
00:50:47You mean an arrest?
00:50:48Boys, we're going to arrest these crooks and put them where they belong.
00:50:51She was my name's George C. Tuttle, attached to 11th Precinct.
00:50:55With two Ts.
00:50:58We'll show these city gangsters they can't perpetrate their outrageous misconduct.
00:51:02I followed them for days.
00:51:04Try to kid me, will they?
00:51:05Kid the country cop, eh?
00:51:06Well, you can't blame a man for trying.
00:51:11Now about that bathing suit picture, Mrs. Whitehall.
00:51:13Go away.
00:51:14Go away.
00:51:15I shall speak to you.
00:51:16I shall say another word.
00:51:18National Broadcasting Company, operating from the charity benefit at the Todd Hunter Estate at Longport.
00:51:23Long Island.
00:51:25Please stand by.
00:51:27Wait a minute, what's that?
00:51:28What?
00:51:29They're announcing the charity benefit over the radio.
00:51:32Yeah, but I thought you said this thing was called off.
00:51:34Hey, let's get this.
00:51:36In behalf of Mrs. Whittington Todd Hunter,
00:51:38I wish to announce the first performance of this monster benefit for the office home
00:51:42will be broadcast and fall over this station immediately.
00:51:45What?
00:51:46Mrs. Todd Hunter wishes me to explain
00:51:48that due to an unfortunate misunderstanding with Mrs. Ethel Berta Whitehall of the committee,
00:51:53the operatic stars expected will be unable to appear.
00:51:57Mrs. Whitehall promised to replace them with the Tet Grant fans.
00:52:01But again, due to another unfortunate misunderstanding on the part of Mrs. Whitehall,
00:52:06this will also be impossible.
00:52:08Oh.
00:52:09Oh dear.
00:52:10Oh dear.
00:52:11I...
00:52:16The band believed by Mrs. Whitehall to be the famous Tet Grant organization
00:52:21has turned out in actuality to be a small group of amateur musicians
00:52:25who, however, rather than let the evening suffer by Mrs. Whitehall's air,
00:52:29have gladly contributed their services to the program.
00:52:33Wait a minute.
00:52:34That means the birds you want are right at the benefit now.
00:52:37And so is the meat.
00:52:38The nerve on them.
00:52:39I'll finish the whole bunch.
00:52:41Do you mean to tell me that those young blaggards
00:52:44have had the impudence to appear at their benefit after what has happened?
00:52:48Well, that's what the radio's saying, ma'am.
00:52:50Oh.
00:52:51Oh.
00:52:52Adams.
00:52:53My car.
00:53:11THE END

00:57:36I need you, believe me, I need you I'll be blue when we two are apart
00:57:56You are my one inspiration
00:58:03You changed my whole life from the start
00:58:11I love you, believe me, I love you
00:58:19This fear is a dream of my heart
00:58:33Hey boys, I want some of you to sneak around that way and come in underneath there where those fellas are, you get me?
00:58:50Come on boys, come on over here with us
00:58:54And now the final number from our band will close the performance
00:59:02I need you, believe me, I need you
00:59:10I'll be blue when we two are apart
00:59:18You are my one inspiration
00:59:25I'll be blue when we two are apart
00:59:36I'll gather some June dreams
00:59:54I'll search for some moonbeams
00:59:58Then I'll be reminded of you
01:00:03I'll walk by the milk stream
01:00:10I'll talk to the hill stream
01:00:14Then I'll be reminded of you
01:00:21I'll climb to the rainbow
01:00:26And pick out a hue
01:00:30I'll find a paradise
01:00:34And I'll keep it for you
01:00:39I'll spend all my hours
01:00:43Among fragrant flowers
01:00:47Then I'll be reminded of you
01:00:59I'll be blue when we two are apart
01:01:07I'll be blue when we two are apart
01:01:16Young man, we want to see you
01:01:20I understand
01:01:22I'll take all the blame if you let the others go
01:01:25Well, what will I do with them, ma'am?
01:01:26I intend to prosecute him to the full extent of the law
01:01:29For causing the failure of our benefit
01:01:31I'll go quietly
01:01:34Well, Danny, wait
01:01:36What do you mean, failure?
01:01:38Jean, where have you been?
01:01:40At the radio receiving telegrams
01:01:42And before you say another word, I want you to look at those
01:01:44What? What on earth?
01:01:46The radio announcer says they always get a quick response from their public
01:01:49Oh, listen
01:01:51If charity benefit is as delightful as the orchestra now playing
01:01:54Count us in every night
01:01:56Oh, my dear
01:01:58All the patients in our hospital enjoy the charity benefit orchestra greatly
01:02:03Head nurse, Montclair Hospital
01:02:06Oh, how sweet
01:02:09Never heard such a soothing voice and band
01:02:12I'm coming to benefit just to see them
01:02:14Mrs. Roger Hackett
01:02:16Mm-hmm, the Hacketts
01:02:20Hope that Rudy Bronson and his orchestra will be a permanent feature on the air
01:02:25The Sherman family
01:02:27Oh, my dear, this is too much
01:02:30They say he's a hit, a radio sensation
01:02:33They knew it when they first heard him out there
01:02:35Oh, there are tons of other telegrams, too
01:02:38Oh, don't you see, Andy?
01:02:40He hasn't made your benefit a failure
01:02:42He's put it over for you
01:02:44Congratulations, Mrs. Whitehall
01:02:46It isn't everyone who has the genius to make a find like this
01:02:49And then exploit it so magnificently
01:02:51Superb showmanship
01:02:52Yes
01:02:54The committee certainly owes a great deal to you
01:02:56Oh, yes, yes
01:02:58I recognize the quality of his voice
01:03:00The minute I heard it
01:03:02So different to the trained operatic voices
01:03:05Dear Mrs. Todd Hunter
01:03:07Well, aren't you going to have him arrested?
01:03:09No, no, no
01:03:11No, no, not at all
01:03:13That was part of my superb, superb whatever it was
01:03:16Now, look here
01:03:18Just this Mr. Grant himself will advise us on this
01:03:20He's the engine party
01:03:22He made the complaint
01:03:24Well, of course, Officer Scruffle
01:03:26Tattle, tattle with two t's
01:03:28Pardon me, just a moment
01:03:30Me?
01:03:32Make a complaint against my protege?
01:03:34Well, who are you?
01:03:36Who am I?
01:03:39Why, I'm Ted Grant, that's who
01:03:41And I want to tell you
01:03:43I never was prouder in my life
01:03:45Of any graduate of the Ted Grant School of Music
01:03:47Why, say, listen
01:03:49We're going to use his name and his testimonials
01:03:50In all of our future advertising
01:03:52Why, he's the biggest find
01:03:54I've made since Ted Lewis
01:03:56Or Ben Bernie
01:03:58You've made?
01:04:00Well, of course, Mr. Grant
01:04:02I don't care to take any credit away from you
01:04:04But you must admit that my courage
01:04:06And superb seamanship
01:04:08If you realize
01:04:10The effort it takes
01:04:12Developing new talent like this
01:04:14You'd appreciate my feelings tonight
01:04:16When I heard this new find of mine
01:04:18Find of yours?
01:04:20Yes, the musical
01:04:22I knew then that there was
01:04:24And using the Ted Grant method
01:04:26The method that's made me
01:04:28The greatest saxophone player in the world
01:04:30Oh, saxophone player
01:04:32Well, of course
01:04:34Well, you ask my manager
01:04:36Why, really, Mrs. Toadhunter
01:04:38Toadhunter, this is Mrs. Toadhunter
01:04:40Pardon, I'm Toadhunter
01:04:42That's all right, girlie, it's all right with me
01:04:44Listen, this boy plays the saxophone so well
01:04:46You won't believe it, but a couple of times
01:04:48I hated to ask him for my salary
01:04:50But he said he'd give it to me
01:04:52He said he'd give it to me
01:04:54He said he'd give it to me
01:04:56He said he'd give it to me
01:04:58He said he'd give it to me
01:05:00He said he'd give it to me
01:05:02He said he'd give it to me
01:05:04He said he'd give it to me
01:05:06He said he'd give it to me
01:05:08He said he'd give it to me
01:05:10He said he'd give it to me
01:05:12He said he'd give it to me
01:05:14He said he'd give it to me
01:05:16He said he'd give it to me
01:05:18He said he'd give it to me
01:05:20He said he'd give it to me
