Dimples Page #7

Synopsis: Dimples is a busker - a street entertainer, and lives in mid-19th century New York City's Bowery with her kindhearted but pickpocketing Grandfather, Prof. Eustace Appleby. Dimples is a talented child and is hired to perform at a party in the home of Mrs. Caroline Drew, an elderly widow living in Washington Square. Dimples delights the gathering and charms not only the elderly mistress of the house but her nephew Allen as well, a theatrical producer betrothed to a lovely society belle. Allen engages Dimples to perform the role of Little Eva in his production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" while Mrs. Drew makes it possible for Dimples to remain in her genteel home and enjoy its benefits. Various complications ensue and Dimples bravely makes the decision to sacrifice her happiness to return to her slum dwelling Grandfather. Mrs. Drew traces Dimples's whereabouts and convinces Prof. Appleby that his lovely granddaughter deserves something better than a life of poverty and crime in the Bowery. The

Oh, thank you, Mrs. Drew.

You're a woman of great character

and discrimination.

May I?

Wait! Don't go!

We have a treat for you tonight.

The entire company,

headed by our charming little star,

has prepared a celebration for the first

anniversary of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Out of the South has recently come

a new form of entertainment.

Our company wishes to be

the first to present it in New York,

if it is your pleasure.

The Louisiana moon

is shining down from starry skies

Above, mm-mm

The lonesome

lonely old and breaking heart

Just needs a lady love, mm-mm

While the shades of night

were falling, falling

You could hear him softly calling

Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna

Don't keep me waitin'

Ain't you gonna come out tonight

Full moon shinin'

and my heart a-pinin'

Come out and meet me

in the moonlight

Can't you understand

Love is in the air

Lovers hand in hand

strolling everywhere

Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna

Don't keep me waitin'

Ain't you gonna come out tonight

Glowin' and shinin'

and my heart a-pinin'

Come out and meet me

in the moonlight

Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna

Don't keep me waitin'

Ain't you gonna come out tonight

Moon a-shinin'

and my heart a-pinin'

Come out and meet me

in the moonlight

Can't you understand

Love is in the air

Lovers hand in hand

strolling everywhere

Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna

Don't keep me waitin'

Ain't you gonna come out tonight

Moon a-shinin'

and my heart a-pinin'

Come out and meet me

in the moonlight

Mr. Bowes, why is it a fireman

wears red suspenders?

Well, I'll tell ya, I don't know.

Say, how come a fireman

wear red suspenders?

Well, the reason a fireman wears

red suspenders?

To keep his pants up. I don't know.

Full moon shinin'

and my heart a-pinin'

Come out and meet me

in the moonlight

Oh, Dixie-Anna

don't you keep me waitin'

You know that ain't right

Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna

Don't keep me waitin'

Ain't you gonna come out tonight

Moon a-shinin'

and my heart a-pinin'

Come out and meet me

in the moonlight

Can't you understand

Love is in the air

Lovers hand in hand

strolling everywhere

Dixie-Anna, oh, Miss Dixie-Anna

Don't keep me waitin'

Ain't you gonna come out tonight

Moon a-shinin'

and my heart a-pinin'

Come out and meet me

in the moonlight
