Me and Orson Welles

In 1592 Shakespeare had already -

actor and playwright.

It is not known

how his career started.

However, we know that he was in 1594 -

joined a theater troupe,

called ...

Is there anyone who can remember?

I must not cry at once.

"The Lord Chamberlain's Men."

FRIDAY 5th November 1937

Peanuts, peanuts, peanuts!

Read the latest!

Japanese tanks in Shanghai!

Read the latest!

Estimates melody. They play the

with great empathy.

What a sad, is not it?

- They can then set the pace up a bit.

No. I allude to Gershwin's death

, and everything else.

They do not like that I

sitting here without buying something.

I feel very good about the song.

Richard Rodgers. The one in the world

who can write like that.

They are like lullabies.

- And he shakes them out of the sleeve.

He was Gassner radio program.

- Listening to the kind?

Occasionally I think that I'm the

Only in New York, listening to it.

Can you imagine finding in

tune to "There's a Small Hotel"?

I would sacrifice everything to be able to write

something as beautiful as it.

Yes.

What signs do you ...?

What's your name?

Gretta. I have not written

anything of significance yet.

I'm writing a play.

- A drama?

How funny. I'm an actor.

- What have you played in?

It has often been

play at school.

So you are so writer?

I wish I could convince

The New Yorker about it.

And then my parents.

And then myself.

No, the principal would only be

to convince The New Yorker.

I had a writing teacher.

Whatever I delivered,

he said:
"Opportunities".

Oh no.

I would so desire,

that there was one person who would ...

IAES anything I've written

and say:
"They're fabulous."

They are fabulous.

- Yes, yes.

I have more ...

- Richard.

Richard.

Could this not be

a nice scene of a story?

Two people who meet

in this way. Quite simple.

What do you think?

Opportunities.

Fine. See you.

See you.

So we're ready!

Let us turn it!

Find Orson!

Say, here are some young ballerinas.

Then he'll come.

Wait!

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

We send to you directly -

from the abandoned theater on

West 41st Street!

There is no set a release date.

- At least it will be in November.

Is this the best drum roll,

The Mercury Theatre can offer?

I might do it.

I might play a drum roll.

All right. And who are you?

Gene Krupa. And you?

- Seriously speaking, my name is Cinna.

I am Cinna the poet.

I live by Capitoleum.

Where are you going?

- For Caesar's funeral.

His name is Cinna!

I'm ready to ignite it!

- Wait for Orson!

How, boy.

Damn Stupid animals that you! What is

now? Is all of that company toward me?

Is it a conspiracy

to destroy my idea?

It is utterly inadequate.

The worst thing I've ever seen.

We just got printed 50,000.

- So bad is it now too.

Could you play on ukulele?

Mr. Welles, you hardly find one,

who plays ukulele better than me.

Fresh guy. Want to work for free?

Quiet! I am about to negotiate.

Who else is so in love with his own

damn voice as Jack Gielgud?

His droll interpretations

of Shakespeare. They are far from -

contemporary violence, passion

and bloodshed.

Have you heard my version of Hamlet?

- Yes, the Columbia Workshop.

What do you think about it?

Given that you were short

Hamlet down to two radio broadcasts -

was excellent.

Correct. , I was criticized for

omitting "To be or not."

But it was the speech

could best be sacrificed in the whole piece.

It tells us nothing new.

Can you sing?

So wait a little!

Very well, Sir Gielgud.

Sing something for me. Baffles me.

have you tasted corn flakes?

it's all corn flakes

have you tasted corn flakes?

because the best of taste

they are crisp ...

You are employed.

Sam, turn it so!

Then there are the steaks to Mr Welles!

- I am also starving.

Try to keep them warm.

Vakhtangov, my pineapple juice.

There are sample clock 18:30.

The kid will play Lucius.

The second nitwit is fired.

We must set a release date.

- Thursday, I've said.

Take Tallulah have premiered on Wednesday

with its expensive "Antony and Cleopatra."

And then we premiere on Thursday.

A thin, tough Caesar.

Sonja, auxiliary jack. Teach it to me

is back, junior, or you smoke out.

My name is Sonja. It spelled with J

but pronounced like a Y. Sonja Jones.

have you met Miss Jones?

- The people have sung to me before.

Mercury. Yes, it's me.

Mr Ingram, Orson is just run.

He took an ambulance

to go faster.

According to Orson is no law on you

must be sick to ride in an ambulance.

But it is his word

which probably means -

that it is not entirely true

but it should be.

We premiered this week

but let's talk next week.

Wonderful. You're welcome. Goodbye.

Take it, Richard.

We must all fit your phone.

Mercury.

One moment, Mr

The Brooks Atkinson.

Mr A, it is Sonja.

I've got roses.

They are incredibly beautiful.

I've never seen

the color yellow before.

I'm sorry, we continue to

change the date, but Thursday is safe.

We change it at least not

within the next hour.

True. Yes, contemporary dress.

They march around -

in fascist military uniforms.

Orson have really surpassed themselves.

Fine, and once again

many thanks for the roses.

Atkinson has sent you flowers?

- I made him a little service.

Let us fresh makeup up until

phone chimeric ... Go ahead, Gielgud.

With my fine education

I make this.

If my father knew it,

they sent me home to Ohio.

I did not know existed Ohio.

- I wish we did not have to practice tonight.

Barbirolli must orientate

"Pathtique".

Do you love not just Tchaikovsky?

- I adore him.

A guy working for Jed Harris,

has begged me to take there.

Instead I sit here

and write small 11-metals ...

with none other than

a ukulele player.

"Mr. Welles, you will find it hard ..."

And how did you end up so

on Mercury, -

Miss "with Sonja J

but pronounced with a Y ".

By being completely honest?

According to John Houseman founded Mercury

on nonsense, and every day -

I am more agree with that. You can

probably not even spell 'ukulele'.

Y O U C A ...

- Funny, McGee.

Why is someone who will play

the ukulele in Julius Caesar?

It is disguised as a lyre.

Lucius, who are you -

sings a lullaby for Brutus.

Should I sing on stage?

- Yes.

Who plays Brutus?

- Orson.

Who played Lucius before me?

A boy whose personality did not go

under tension with Orson.

What does it mean?

- That he had personality.

Orson is a competitive person.

He is very selfish -

and very clever.

He has read everything. He knows everything.

The rule is that no

criticizes Orson. Never ever.

So, hoping to work for him again

Mon forgives every behavior.

Do you work for free?

- It is not about money.

I want to achieve something greater.

My girlfriend works for Harold Ross

on the almighty The New Yorker.

While there, you must fetch coffee and

laugh stupid, vulgar jokes.

If Mercury closes on Thursday,

and it may well be the case -

I know a dozen people

who could get me a job.

Do you know who John
