The candy may be

a little stale, but it's a nice box.

Thank you.

Thank you, Cousin Jake.

Isn't he wonderful?

Edna Mae, I believe you've

taken a shine to that angel.

Shine? Did you say shine?

- Yes.

Doggone it.

I know I saw him somewhere.

He's a bootblack.

- Who?

That angel. He ain't no angel.

He's got a shinin' stand in Harlem.

He shined my shoes a thousand times.

- What? A bootblack?

Come on, kids.

- I'm so mad, I don't know what to do.

Listen, girls.

This is me, kiddies, Gabe.

I've got a surprise for you.

Come in, deary.

We've got a surprise for you too.

All right, honey.

Now, here is somethin' for you.

Now, this is...

What's the matter? What's wrong?

- I don't know.

Girls. Girls. Just a minute.

What are you all trying to do?

What's the trouble in here?

They can hear you out front.

There's plenty of trouble.

We're not going on till we get our money.

But, girls, you've got to finish the show.

If I have to give the people their

money back tonight, I will be ruined.

I'm ruined now.

- He reminds me of...

No. He looks worse than that.

If it's money you all are worried about, I

think I have the solution to your problem.

Cousin Jake, where did you get

all that money?

I drove my boss to Belmont Park today.

You mean, there was a coincident?

- What you mean?

That the right horse

came in at the right time...

...and on the right track at the right odds?

Yeah. -

- As we live and breathe.

When did you go to Hollywood, Uncle Bill?

Honey, the first time

I went to Hollywood was 1936.

Did Miss Selina go with you?

- No, she didn't go.

How come?

When two people can't seem

the same thing the same way...

...life just gets powerful complicated.

You see, honey,

this is the living room...

...here's your room,

and this is the nursery.

Oh, that's swell, Bill. That's about

the prettiest little house I ever saw.

But not for us.

- Why not for us?

You know why not for us. We're show

people, on the road day in and day out.

We don't have time

to live in a house like that.

Sure, that's the way it's been

up until now, honey. But...

Oh, but Bill, we've been

over this a thousand times.

I know, but since I've got that Hollywood

contract, we'll have plenty of money.

You won't have to go on

workin'. You can quit. - Quit?

Sure. You worked long enough.

It's time that you settled down.

And we have a home and...

But, Bill, I don't wanna quit.

I wouldn't be happy unless

I went on with my work, just like you.

Singing's in my blood.

I'm sorry, Selina. I just thought

maybe you'd see it different now.

Bill, I'm afraid I'll never see it differently.

Never.

I'm sorry too.

Selina, then she went to Paris

and got to be a big star over there.

Didn't Miss Selina ever

come back, Uncle Bill?

Not yet.

Cab Calloway.

Hello, Cab.

Hello, Pops. What's all of this?

You never told me 'bout this jive.

I wish they were mine. The neighbor's

kids, just trying to show 'em a few steps.

Run along, kids. See you later.

Come over and sit down.

Bill, I guess you ain't as

lonesome out here as I thought.

Yes, it's lonesome all right.

But I hate to give up the

place in case Selina...

...ever change her mind

and wanna come back.

But what are you doin' out here?

- Oh.

Tonight we givin' a big party

at the Downtown Club for the soldiers.

For the soldiers?

Sure. A big blow-out

before they go overseas.

Bill, I want you to be there.

You bet I'll be there.

Anything for the soldiers.

Be like old times.

Why, it ain't Gabe.

- Well, if this ain't a solid send out.

What do you know, Pop?

Gimme some skin.

Mellow. Now lay your racket, jack.

Say, this cat ain't hep to the jive.

Stop beatin' up your chops to him.

Now, ain't that a bring-down.

That's a wrong riff jack.

Say, what the devil

you two fools talkin' about?

We're talkin' jive. He says he's glad to

see you, and he wants to shake your hand.

Solid.

- Righteous.

Crazy.

Go along Cab.

- Okay.

Say, Bill. Come on. I want you to come

out front and catch this next number.

I'm quite sure that you'll get a

great big kick out of it. - Really?

Go ahead.

- I'll see you.

# Don't know why #

# There's no sun up in the sky #

# Stormy weather #

# Since my man and I ain't together #

# Keeps rainin' all the time #

# Life is bare #

# Gloom and misery everywhere #

# Stormy weather #

# Just can't get my poor self together #

# I'm weary all the time #

# The time #

# So weary all the time #

# Since he went away #

# The blues walked in and met me #

# If he stays away #

# Old rockin' chair will get me #

# All I do is pray the

lord above will let me #

# Walk in the sun once more #

# Can't go on #

# Everything I had is gone #

# Stormy weather #

# Since my man and I ain't together #

# Keeps rainin' all the time #

# Keeps rainin' all the time #

# I'll walk around

heavyhearted and sad #

# Night comes around

and I'm still feeling bad #

# Rain pourin' down #

# Blindin' every hope I had #

# This pitterin', patterin'

beatin' and scatterin' #

# Drives me mad #

# Love, love, love, love #

# This misery #

# Is just too much for me #

# Can't go on #

# Everything I had is gone #

# Stormy weather #

# Since my man and I ain't together #

# Keeps rainin' all the time #

# Keeps rainin' all #

# The time #

# Keeps rainin' all the time #

# Keeps rainin' all the time #
