That's Entertainment, Part II Page #5

---

Please stop.

Just walk natural,

as if you were out for a stroll.

Not a word.

Hold it right there!

Where are you going with that elephant?

What elephant?

As soon as I saw you, I said to myself:

"There's a hot-looking little number."

Don't let it throw you, champ.

I'm 20 degrees cooler than you think.

Dames are just like traffic.

Sometimes you got to stop.

Sometimes you got to go.

Certain women should be struck regularly,

like gongs.

You see that chess game over there?

When I was 4 years old,

I played 10 people all at once...

blindfolded.

I lost every game.

Lie down.

Stand up.

Grandpa, I love you.

Rosetta, I love you.

Tippy, I love you.

Honey, I love you.

Honey, I love you.

Kippy, I love you.

I love you, Duke.

What're you trying to do?

Steal my gag line?

To begin with, I took four years at Vassar.

Vassar? But that's a girls' college.

I found that out the third year.

I'd have been there yet,

but I went out for the swimming team.

It's all right. That's in every contract.

That's what they call a sanity clause.

You can't fool me.

There ain't no Sanity Claus.

Hold me closer.

Closer.

I hold you any closer, I'd be in back of you.

It's a far, far better thing I do,

than I have ever done.

It's a far, far better rest I go to...

than I have ever known.

You're my Lassie come home.

But, Rhett, if you go...

where shall I go? What shall I do?

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.

What can I say about Paris

that wouldn't be redundant?

Even people who have never been there

know of its glories...

from songs, books, movies, paintings...

even cookbooks.

And thanks to the invention

of film and records...

there is one national treasure...

who will live as long as all the others.

That's Paris.

City of girls and lights!

Maurice Chevalier.

Here he is, singing about his Paris,

in one of his early films.

I'm going to Maxim 's

Where all the girls are dreams

Each kiss goes on the wine list

And mine is quite a fine list

Lolo, Dodo, Juju

Cloclo, Margot, Frufru

We promise to be faithful

Until the night is through

Let us gaze in the wine while it's wet

Let's do things that we'll live to regret

Let me dance till the restaurant whirls

With the girls, girls, girls, girls, girls

Where there's wine and there's women

and song

It is wrong not to do something wrong

When you do something wrong

You must do something right

And I'm doing all right tonight

You know...

I guess more songs have been written

about Paris than any other city.

One of the loveliest and most poignant...

was by Jerome Kern

and Oscar Hammerstein.

Dinah Shore sings it in

Till the Clouds Roll by.

The last time I saw Paris

her trees were dressed for spring

And lovers walked beneath those trees

and birds found songs to sing

I dodged the same old taxicabs

that I had dodged for years

The chorus of their squeaky horns

was music to my ears

The last time I saw Paris

her heart was warm and gay

No matter how they change her

I'll remember her

that way

Paris is called the City of Lights.

When these lights are turned on,

it becomes the diamond of the world.

Lovers, of course...

prefer the romantic shadows

along the banks of the Seine.

Another famous Parisian landmark...

but of a different kind.

We see Georges Guetary performing...

in true Folies-Bergre style.

I'll build a stairway to Paradise

With a new step every day

I'm going to get there at any price

Stand aside, I'm on my way

I've got the blues

And up above, it's so fair

Shoes, go on and carry me there

I'll build a stairway to Paradise

With a new step every day

I'll build a stairway to Paradise

With a new step every day

I'm going to get there at any price

Stand aside, I'm on my way

I've got the blues

And up above, it's so fair

Shoes, go on and carry me there

I'll build a stairway to Paradise

With a new step every day

With a new step

every day

The place du Trocadro

is one of my favorite places in Paris.

It's a great hangout

for children who skate.

So I always bring my kids here to join me.

You know...

a number on roller skates,

that might not be a bad idea.

This is Montmartre...

a very different section of the city.

As you see, the sidewalks are jammed

with young artists plying their trade.

Montmartre is also world-renowned

for its colorful cabarets.

The cancan,

danced by Gwen Verdon and company.

Not far from Paris is Versailles.

One of the most beautiful palaces

ever built.

A museum now,

it's still used for special state dinners...

and charity balls.

Some suggestion of a...

Bal de Versaille...

was captured by Ernst Lubitsch

in the picture The Merry Widow...

filmed in 1934.

Gene dances in the cartoon

Then there's Bing,

He and Louis will croon

Bobby Van could jump over the moon

That's entertainment

You'll see Fred and Judy as tramps

Cyd plays one of those glamorous vamps

Howard Keel,

He'll sum up the whole deal

The world's a cartoon

A great big balloon of entertainment

Hey, Gene, you've had

some very unusual dancing partners.

But these, from Invitation to the Dance,

beat everything.

Well, you take some skins

Jazz begins

And you take a bass

Man, now we're gettin' someplace

Take a box

One that rocks

Take a blue horn, New Orleans-born

High Society brings Bing and Satchmo

together to explain jazz.

Take a bone

Hold the phone

Take a spot

Cool and hot

Now you has jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz, jazz

Pops, you want to grab

a little of what's left here?

- Yeah, daddy, yeah

- Here we go

- If you sail

- A-sailin', sailin'

- Over the sea

- Will you wait for me?

Take my tip,

they're all molto hip in Italy

Well, arrivederci

As for France?

- I know you're very big there

- Yes, believe it or not

I do believe

I do indeed

The Frenchmen all

prefer what they call

- "Le jazz hot"

- Formidable

Take a plane

Go to Siam

In Bangkok today, round the clock,

they all like the jazz

Indians on

the Amazon

Beat one bar,

and all of them are

Oh, well, gone, man, gone!

From the Equator

Up to the Pole

Everybody wingin', everybody singin'

That rock, rock, rock, rock 'n'roll

And from the east to the west

From the coast to the coast

Jazz is king 'cause jazz is the thing

the folks dig most

Now that's jazz

We're a couple of swells

We stop at the best hotels

But we prefer the country

far away from the city smells

Fred, here you are with Judy.

Even when you play a tramp,

you're in top hat and tails.

The pride of the tennis courts

In June, July, and August

we look cute

when we're dressed in shorts

The Vanderbilts are waiting

at the club

But how are we to get there,

that's the rub

That's the rub

We would sail up the avenue

but we haven't got a yacht

We would drive up the avenue

but the horse we had was shot

We would ride on a trolley car

but we haven't got the fare

So we'll walk up the avenue

Yes, we'll walk up the avenue

Yes, we'll walk up the avenue

till we're there

We would swim up the avenue
