The Dolly Sisters Page #7

All right, darling.

We'll come back together

in a little while.

I want to rest...

just rest.

How does it feel to be back in the U.S. A?

- I can't tell you how happy I am.

- How does it feel? Silly question.

What's the name of your new show,

Miss Dolly?

There isn't any.

I've retired, you know.

- What brings you back to America?

- Don't you know what it is to want to come home?

- Besides, my sister's here.

- Is it true, Miss Dolly, you sold all your jewels?

N-No. Only last year's pieces.

They were out of style anyway.

Miss Dolly.

Picture, please.

- There she is! Jenny!

- Hello, Jenny!

- Jenny, darling!

- Uncle! Hello, Uncle! Jenny!

Jenny! Oh! Jenny!

Rosie!

- Hold it.

- Oh, you're home.

Rosie! Oh, it's so

wonderful to be home.

Oh, Jenny.

You look too marvelous.

You'd never think

she was sick a day.

If I were a man,

I'd go crazy for you.

- Jenny, guess where you're going to live.

- Where?

At the Knickerbocker. Did I ever tell you

about the time we sang for Hammerstein?

Oh, must I hear that again?

Let me- Let me tell you

about how it was.

I said to Hammerstein,

"Now, look here."

- Uncle.

- Uncle.

Oh, New York.

Don't tell me I've forgotten

how to unpack.

I'll never forget those horrible

one-night stands.

Sometimes I wish those horrible days

had never ended.

- Ever hear anything of Harry?

- Oh, yes.

He's a big hit

at the Court Theater.

Why? Don't tell me

you're still-

Isn't it natural to be curious

when somebody drops out of your life completely?

- Jenny, where's all your jewelry?

- Oh, it's there.

But there's only a third.

Oh, those stories

are true then.

You have been selling it.

Well, hospitals, doctors,

facial surgery.

And there's always a bill

when it's over, you know.

I had no idea.

You kept telling me

you didn't need anything.

Well, I didn't, darling.

But now I'm back

where I started-

looking for a part in a show,

if I can find one.

- Of course you can.

- I hope you're right.

They wouldn't book me

in Paris.

One Dolly sister

is not enough.

Oh, the fools.

But, Jenny, this is something

I've been dreaming about-

the chance to work again,

the two of us.

Oh, but you couldn't.

You know how Irving feels about it.

He'd never let you.

Oh, he'll do anything for me.

Forty-second and Broadway.

Remember those mornings

we used to walk from office to office...

wondering if we'd ever

get a break?

It's funny I remember

those days so clearly and...

everything since

is just a blur.

Well, pretty soon, you'll have

something new for your memory book.

Confidentially, do you know who will be

the sensation of this town by next week?

The Dolly Sisters.

Baby, we're on.

Oh. Are you sure it's all right with Irving?

Don't give it a thought.

That's my department.

Oh, Rosie!

And now,

two young ladies...

who have found

the amusement world their oyster.

Audiences all over the world

have sung their praises in all languages-

from the roof of the Times Building

in little old New York...

to the top of the Eiffel Tower

in gay Paris.

They're back with us again,

reunited for this night.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Broadway opens its arms...

to warmly welcome home

the Dolly Sisters.

We have been to gay Paris

Trs joli, gay Paris

Nice and Monte Carlo

Saint Moritz and Napoli

Jolly times in London

Where we were always

treated graciously

Oh, will you

have brunch

Oh, will you have tea

Yes, we have been around

And music

has led the way

And musically speaking

there's no greater thrill

Than a hurdy-gurdy playing

- Jenny, darling! That was wonderful!

- They love you.

- Who's on next?

- Frank Tinney. Then Harry Fox.

And now, ladies and gentlemen...

that popular blackface comedian-

Frank Tinney.

- I'll see you in the dressing room.

- All right, darling.

- Well, Jenny.

- You're on next, Mr. Fox.

- Fancy meeting you here.

- Oh, hello, Winnie.

- Hello, Harry.

- Hello, Jenny.

Gee, it's nice to see you.

You're looking wonderful,

prettier than ever.

Thanks.

I was lucky- no scars.

You look grand, Harry.

Life's been treating you very well,

lately, hasn't it?

Well,

we can't complain.

I've been lucky too.

Jenny, this is Miss-

Yes, I know. It's Miss Baldwin.

You have been lucky.

I'm awfully glad to meet you.

I've heard so much about you.

I've wanted to meet you too.

Uh- Uh, they make a great little team,

don't they?

Yes, they-

they certainly do.

- How's Elmer?

- Oh, he's been an overcoat for years.

Well, good luck to both of you.

So long, Jenny.

Don't let it bother you, dear.

I mean my running into

old times like this.

When it's in your heart,

it isn't old times. It's always now.

And you can't fool

anybody about it either.

- Hello, Harry.

- Hello, Frank.

Excuse me.

Now, my friends-And I feel, by this time,

I should call you my friends...

as I know you all too well

to call you ladies and gentlemen.

At this time, I'm supposed to turn over

the gavel of master of ceremonies...

to a young comic

named Eddie Cantor.

But he telephoned

he can't be with us as his wife, Ida...

just presented him

with a baby girl.

This makes three.

Smart fella that Cantor.

Someday he'll have his own chorus.

To get on with the show,

a young man who's come a long way...

since he started

in Tin Pan Alley.

One of the most versatile artists

to hit these roaring '40s in a long time.

And, girls, after you see him,

you're gonna love him.

And if you don't, I will. Whoopee!

You all know him

from the songs he's written.

Here he is, the star of

The Prince of Broadway, Harry Fox!

That was their song.

Harry wrote it

for my sister.

Yes, I know.

He told me.

When are you two

getting married?

We're not.

I'll be right back, darling.

For keeps.

I'll buy you

a cup of coffee, baby.
