1
00:03:16,850 --> 00:03:18,993
There must be so many
much more amusing ways
2
00:03:18,993 --> 00:03:21,923
of spending Saturday
afternoon than at Crystal Palace
3
00:03:22,182 --> 00:03:25,879
That is precisely why Papa
insisted on the Crystal Palace
4
00:03:25,918 --> 00:03:27,458
Grace,it's really all your part
5
00:03:27,458 --> 00:03:30,008
for allowing Mr Sullivan to
fall in love with you
6
00:03:30,089 --> 00:03:34,377
Everyone agrees that one day Mr Sullivan
will be our greatest composer of music
7
00:03:35,362 --> 00:03:38,071
I'm proud to be inspired his affection
8
00:04:50,642 --> 00:04:52,126
You can wake up now,Willie
9
00:04:54,591 --> 00:04:56,366
Fine composition,Gilbert
10
00:04:56,381 --> 00:04:58,371
You should make a point
of hearing it sometime
11
00:04:58,434 --> 00:05:01,463
I shall tell Sullivan,it's damned
sprightliness to another world
12
00:05:13,987 --> 00:05:16,952
I was so proud of you,Arthur,so very proud
13
00:05:16,952 --> 00:05:18,124
When can we be married?
14
00:05:18,124 --> 00:05:19,598
-One day
-Soon?
15
00:05:19,598 --> 00:05:21,816
Your old professor from
Leipzig was enraptured
16
00:05:22,469 --> 00:05:25,306
There are no heights of music,
which you may not scale,he says
17
00:05:25,757 --> 00:05:26,569
How soon?
18
00:05:26,569 --> 00:05:29,685
You were right,great music for me,
will you not Arthur?
19
00:05:29,865 --> 00:05:30,555
Grace
20
00:05:30,555 --> 00:05:35,523
Oratories,symphonies,serenades
and grand,grand opera
21
00:05:35,523 --> 00:05:36,901
When can we be married?
22
00:05:36,901 --> 00:05:39,739
Soon,I said soon
23
00:05:43,370 --> 00:05:48,527
Arthur,what is Mr,what was his name,
Mr Gilbert doing at the Crystal Palace?
24
00:05:49,191 --> 00:05:49,860
Gilbert?
25
00:05:50,644 --> 00:05:52,459
I invited him there, you know
26
00:05:52,459 --> 00:05:53,934
And the man with him?
27
00:05:53,934 --> 00:05:55,105
D'Oyly Carte
28
00:05:55,105 --> 00:05:57,165
Another theatrical person?
29
00:05:57,165 --> 00:06:01,238
Arthur,you are not working
again with Mr Gilbert?
30
00:06:01,238 --> 00:06:03,791
-Well
-Arthur!
31
00:06:04,277 --> 00:06:04,825
Grace
32
00:06:06,885 --> 00:06:10,651
I wish I could make you understand,
what am I beside you? A nobody
33
00:06:11,049 --> 00:06:14,677
Only the son of poor Lambeth
bandmaster,with nothing but my music
34
00:06:14,677 --> 00:06:18,979
I freely admit I'll turn my hand to
anything to make our marriage possible
35
00:06:18,979 --> 00:06:21,531
last week if you must know,I
36
00:06:21,531 --> 00:06:26,305
I sold half a dozen pot boilers to
Mr Chapel at five guineas a time
37
00:06:26,404 --> 00:06:27,612
Pot boilers?
38
00:06:27,612 --> 00:06:28,420
Grace
39
00:06:29,564 --> 00:06:30,432
What is it?
40
00:06:30,661 --> 00:06:32,227
And I thought I was helping you
41
00:06:32,227 --> 00:06:36,343
You are,you know you are,it was
for you that I wrote my oratorio
42
00:06:37,428 --> 00:06:40,185
And from all the stories in the Holy
Script,which did you choose?
43
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,627
The Prodigal Son
44
00:06:42,627 --> 00:06:45,585
Unless I have the means how
can I ever approach your father?
45
00:06:46,189 --> 00:06:49,710
When you worked with Mr Gilbert
once before,was it successful?
46
00:06:49,710 --> 00:06:51,862
I admit "Thespis" didn't do too well
47
00:06:51,862 --> 00:06:53,643
How will another failure help you?
48
00:06:53,643 --> 00:06:56,461
-But D'Oyly Carte think..
-Darling,Arthur
49
00:06:56,461 --> 00:07:00,132
If you really love me you'll go
your theatrical friends this very night
50
00:07:00,132 --> 00:07:03,560
and tell them that you are sorry but
you cannot compose their comic operetta
51
00:07:03,931 --> 00:07:05,965
How can I? I've already started it
52
00:07:05,965 --> 00:07:08,440
You were taught by the
pupil of Beethoven himself
53
00:07:08,887 --> 00:07:11,367
You must learn to dedicate
yourself to your art
54
00:07:11,367 --> 00:07:14,372
religiously,like the great masters
55
00:07:14,372 --> 00:07:17,635
the theatre,dearest Arthur,
is not your world
56
00:07:19,542 --> 00:07:21,367
Grace,are you there?
57
00:07:21,768 --> 00:07:22,760
Yes,Papa
58
00:07:24,212 --> 00:07:26,383
Our guests are waiting for you,my dear
59
00:07:26,383 --> 00:07:28,018
Then I must go them,Papa,must I not?
60
00:07:29,087 --> 00:07:31,304
I'm afraid Mr Sullivan has to leave us
61
00:07:31,304 --> 00:07:33,267
He has a very important appointment
62
00:07:36,324 --> 00:07:39,201
Curious girl,Grace, do you
understand her,Mr Sullivan?
63
00:07:39,201 --> 00:07:39,749
Well,Sir I.
64
00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:40,920
I don't
65
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,907
Never else her mother either
66
00:07:43,259 --> 00:07:43,982
Indeed,Sir?
67
00:07:43,982 --> 00:07:46,837
No,no,not for a moment.Do you know we
have produced seven children?
68
00:07:46,837 --> 00:07:49,804
In a state of mutual misunderstanding,
all girls
69
00:07:51,011 --> 00:07:53,035
She seems to think you
are a genius,are you?
70
00:07:53,547 --> 00:07:54,203
Well,Sir..
71
00:07:54,203 --> 00:07:58,536
I hope not, a genius so often has
to be supported,by his father in law
72
00:08:00,202 --> 00:08:03,067
But,Sir,I wouldn't dream of approaching you
73
00:08:03,067 --> 00:08:05,018
unless I have the means of supporting Grace
74
00:08:05,738 --> 00:08:08,218
Assure me you have means that
there was an early prospect of
75
00:08:08,218 --> 00:08:10,719
let's be exceedingly modest,
a thousand a year?
76
00:08:11,953 --> 00:08:12,742
Thousand a year?
77
00:08:13,479 --> 00:08:14,400
There you are my boy
78
00:08:14,443 --> 00:08:17,104
I hope you are not going to feel
that you are not welcome here
79
00:08:17,104 --> 00:08:18,943
you are a brilliant fellow they've told me
80
00:08:18,943 --> 00:08:21,832
Though I must say I feel happier if
you were on the stock exchange,eh
81
00:08:21,832 --> 00:08:24,530
Well,consider it,my boy,consider it
82
00:08:25,037 --> 00:08:25,960
Think it over
83
00:08:27,496 --> 00:08:29,860
-Good Night,Sir
-Good Night,Mr Sullivan
84
00:08:29,860 --> 00:08:30,972
Mind you
85
00:08:32,587 --> 00:08:34,863
Two thousands a year would be better
86
00:08:58,102 --> 00:09:01,668
Sullivan,my dear chap,congratulations,
congratulations
87
00:09:01,668 --> 00:09:04,224
Your first batch of music is really superb
88
00:09:04,224 --> 00:09:06,743
Gilbert and I are absolutely delighted,
aren't we,Gilbert?
89
00:09:06,743 --> 00:09:08,553
We are indeed, and I know
what I'm talking about
90
00:09:08,553 --> 00:09:09,648
I once succeeded in distinguishing
91
00:09:09,648 --> 00:09:11,908
“Pop! Goes the Weasel” from
"God Save the Queen"
92
00:09:11,944 --> 00:09:14,947
The point is can you be ready
with the rest by the next week
93
00:09:15,444 --> 00:09:18,440
I'm sorry,gentlemen,but I can't do it
94
00:09:19,242 --> 00:09:20,765
We have to make the week after then
95
00:09:20,765 --> 00:09:22,390
No,you misunderstand me
96
00:09:22,390 --> 00:09:25,822
Well,if you can manage it earlier,
I'm presenting it on the 25th
97
00:09:25,822 --> 00:09:26,767
What?
98
00:09:27,081 --> 00:09:28,301
With a new opera by Offenbach
99
00:09:28,524 --> 00:09:30,110
Stiff competition,you know Offenbach
100
00:09:30,110 --> 00:09:33,325
we have to try to beat the
Frenchmen at his own game
101
00:09:33,325 --> 00:09:34,078
I'm sure you will
102
00:09:34,735 --> 00:09:36,966
What Offenbach can do,Sullivan can do
103
00:09:37,404 --> 00:09:38,824
Offenbach made a fortune
104
00:09:38,824 --> 00:09:39,495
Yes,what I mean
105
00:09:39,495 --> 00:09:42,417
why shouldn't the two of you start
a new school of English light opera
106
00:09:42,417 --> 00:09:46,154
Why not,indeed,I have no personal
objections to making a fortune
107
00:09:46,352 --> 00:09:47,041
Gilbert?
108
00:09:48,887 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaking of Offenbach
109
00:09:51,793 --> 00:09:53,496
How much would you say he makes a year?
110
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,120
I think of thousand out of London alone
111
00:09:56,842 --> 00:09:57,697
Thousand a year?
112
00:09:58,305 --> 00:09:59,408
Probably two
113
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,112
Two thousands a year
114
00:10:04,917 --> 00:10:08,605
I mark that Allegro vivace should go
faster like this,let me show you
115
00:19:29,479 --> 00:19:30,306
Wait,please
116
00:19:34,341 --> 00:19:37,559
I felt sure you would come,Mr Sullivan,
but I had nearly giving you up
117
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:39,758
There were no cabs in
this rain,where is Grace?
118
00:19:40,295 --> 00:19:43,261
It's no use,Mr Sullivan,I assure you
119
00:19:43,261 --> 00:19:45,397
Lettie,is that Mr Sullivan?
120
00:19:48,490 --> 00:19:49,767
Grace,what happened?
121
00:19:50,315 --> 00:19:52,419
Why did you leave like that,Grace,
without a word?
122
00:19:53,012 --> 00:19:54,276
There was no chance to explain
123
00:19:54,843 --> 00:19:57,408
I could forgive you for squandering
your gifts on triviality
124
00:19:57,408 --> 00:19:59,439
it was wrong and wicked
125
00:19:59,439 --> 00:20:04,426
yet I did forgive you,but when
I saw you glory in it
126
00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:07,041
Grace,I beg you
127
00:20:08,184 --> 00:20:11,633
I watched you conducting your little
operetta,I saw you afterwards out there
128
00:20:11,633 --> 00:20:16,069
bobbing and bowing,and,also
I could scarcely believe my eyes
129
00:20:16,069 --> 00:20:19,791
I saw that you were proud of it,
you were in your element
130
00:20:19,791 --> 00:20:23,837
you liked it,Arthur,you actually liked it
131
00:20:25,464 --> 00:20:28,593
Grace,Grace,Grace
132
00:20:28,593 --> 00:20:30,647
You must listen to me,Grace
133
00:20:30,647 --> 00:20:33,785
Well,well,Good Evening Mr Sullivan,
or is it Good Night
134
00:20:33,930 --> 00:20:35,576
Good Morning to be absolutely accurate
135
00:20:35,576 --> 00:20:37,425
Sir,I must talk to Grace at once
136
00:20:37,522 --> 00:20:38,552
It will serve no purpose
137
00:20:38,552 --> 00:20:41,220
Sir, she has just declared
that she'll never forgive me
138
00:20:41,220 --> 00:20:43,506
What more my boy,she undoubtedly means it
139
00:20:43,554 --> 00:20:44,584
So you don't understand
140
00:20:44,584 --> 00:20:46,523
Nor do you therefore we are on equal terms
141
00:20:46,523 --> 00:20:48,833
Sir,I must have one last word with her
142
00:20:48,833 --> 00:20:51,702
Take my advice,my boy,
have one last word with me instead
143
00:20:51,702 --> 00:20:52,684
I got a very good idea
144
00:20:52,684 --> 00:20:55,638
you sit yourself down there,I won't
be a moment,don't run away
145
00:20:56,548 --> 00:20:58,912
"You soon get used to the looks
146
00:20:58,912 --> 00:21:01,283
and a very nice girl you find her
147
00:21:03,272 --> 00:21:06,908
She may very well pass for forty-three
in the dust with the light behind her"
148
00:21:07,459 --> 00:21:09,807
Capital little tune arioso, my boy,
hold that moment will you?
149
00:21:10,594 --> 00:21:11,462
Thank you
150
00:21:11,462 --> 00:21:13,451
"I'm a judge,and a good judge too"
151
00:21:13,451 --> 00:21:15,584
So I am hopeful,if nothing else
152
00:21:16,004 --> 00:21:18,151
I fear you are right,Sir,
I don't understand her
153
00:21:18,598 --> 00:21:22,401
I suppose she wanted a Bach and
found he was only a Offenbach
154
00:21:22,401 --> 00:21:23,679
No pun intended
155
00:21:24,056 --> 00:21:25,543
Here is to you,Mr Sullivan
156
00:21:26,846 --> 00:21:27,610
Your health,Sir
157
00:21:28,776 --> 00:21:30,504
If it is any consolation to you,Arthur
158
00:21:30,504 --> 00:21:33,278
I suppose I can call you Arthur
now when we are not to be related
159
00:21:33,278 --> 00:21:34,704
if there is any consolation to you
160
00:21:34,704 --> 00:21:37,021
I think you might have had
a lucky escape,you know
161
00:21:37,021 --> 00:21:38,608
How can you say that,Sir?
162
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,366
Well,genius,Arthur,isn't the
delicate plant Grace thinks
163
00:21:43,366 --> 00:21:46,204
oh no,no,no,it's as hardy
as a Jerusalem artichoke
164
00:21:46,204 --> 00:21:49,570
Grace would have begun by mothering
but ended by smothering
165
00:21:49,570 --> 00:21:51,732
It is curious situation,isn't it,Sir?
166
00:21:52,303 --> 00:21:54,501
We are a curious slavery,my boy
167
00:21:55,105 --> 00:21:58,281
Grace wanted me because of my art
168
00:21:58,281 --> 00:22:00,680
you rejected me because I have no means
169
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,066
now she won't have me and
I suppose you would
170
00:22:06,265 --> 00:22:09,460
Like a shot,like a shot as you garb
wherever marrying me,my boy
171
00:22:09,460 --> 00:22:10,672
there is only one thing to do
172
00:22:11,395 --> 00:22:12,172
What's that ,Sir?
173
00:22:13,512 --> 00:22:14,799
Finish the bottle
174
00:22:49,247 --> 00:22:50,971
It is proposed that Gilbert and Sullivan
175
00:22:50,971 --> 00:22:54,259
shall enter into partnership with
D'Oyly Carte,Sullivan and Gilbert's fees
176
00:22:54,259 --> 00:22:58,815
to be four guineas per performance for each
opera the profits to be equally divided
177
00:22:59,288 --> 00:22:59,869
How's that?
178
00:23:00,589 --> 00:23:02,303
I don't think we need a formal contract?
179
00:23:02,303 --> 00:23:04,178
No,no,no,of course here we are
180
00:23:04,178 --> 00:23:05,260
Are we too early?
181
00:23:05,260 --> 00:23:06,713
No,of course not Mrs D'Oyly
182
00:23:07,001 --> 00:23:08,357
To seal the contract
183
00:23:08,357 --> 00:23:09,344
Happy Thoughts,Mrs Gilbert
184
00:23:09,828 --> 00:23:10,409
Thank you
185
00:23:11,235 --> 00:23:15,018
I remember gentlemen you mustn't
work me too hard,this is only a side line
186
00:23:15,018 --> 00:23:16,979
Of course,the college of
music must come first
187
00:23:16,979 --> 00:23:18,740
We are very lucky to have got you at all
188
00:23:19,376 --> 00:23:22,784
Here's to the partnership
189
00:23:32,728 --> 00:23:34,773
Come on, Grossmith ,let's give it a try
190
00:28:23,798 --> 00:28:26,360
Come on,Sir,we'll promise
191
00:28:35,366 --> 00:28:37,031
Go on,say something,Sullivan
192
00:28:37,031 --> 00:28:38,750
Oh,no words by Gilbert
193
00:28:39,304 --> 00:28:41,470
Shall I tell them why we
are going to America?
194
00:28:41,675 --> 00:28:42,443
Why not
195
00:28:42,443 --> 00:28:47,588
At this moment in New York eight pirate
companies are presenting our HMS Pinafore
196
00:28:47,588 --> 00:28:50,182
In Philadelphia is presenting
a German version
197
00:28:50,182 --> 00:28:52,448
Chicago is presenting
a negro version
198
00:28:52,798 --> 00:28:54,432
No one is presenting our version
199
00:28:54,432 --> 00:28:56,417
And what's makes even more heartbreaking
200
00:28:56,417 --> 00:29:00,053
is no one is paying us a penny
for presenting any version
201
00:29:00,199 --> 00:29:01,200
Shame
202
00:29:01,626 --> 00:29:04,300
Are we going to take this shocking
state of affairs lying down?
203
00:29:04,841 --> 00:29:05,363
Are we?
204
00:29:05,747 --> 00:29:06,668
No
205
00:29:07,135 --> 00:29:08,183
What are we going to do?
206
00:29:09,123 --> 00:29:11,928
To begin with we are taking
our own company of Pinafore over there
207
00:29:11,928 --> 00:29:14,658
I knew there was some reason why
we were going the United States
208
00:29:14,658 --> 00:29:16,381
And then my dear Gilbert,you may recall
209
00:29:16,381 --> 00:29:19,355
we are going to do something that
we've never done before
210
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,949
We are writing an entirely new comic opera
211
00:29:22,411 --> 00:29:25,227
Which is to have its opening night
in New York,instead of London
212
00:29:27,611 --> 00:29:28,363
What's it about?
213
00:29:28,644 --> 00:29:29,679
Pirates,Madame
214
00:29:32,875 --> 00:29:34,195
Let's hear something from it
215
00:29:34,894 --> 00:29:36,410
I beg you pardon,Captain
216
00:29:36,410 --> 00:29:38,130
Sing us a song from the new opera
217
00:29:38,490 --> 00:29:39,423
What as?
218
00:29:44,872 --> 00:29:46,514
You brought it upon yourself,
you know
219
00:29:46,618 --> 00:29:48,234
you really don't know my voice is like
220
00:29:48,325 --> 00:29:49,375
Did he know he had one?
221
00:29:49,375 --> 00:29:51,574
Go to your piano,my dear fellow
222
00:29:52,151 --> 00:29:54,495
Ladies and Gentlemen in our
new piece we introduce
223
00:29:54,495 --> 00:29:58,448
the no warm but hither to neglected
figure,the British policeman
224
00:32:17,286 --> 00:32:18,902
Girls,girls,quiet,please
225
00:32:19,383 --> 00:32:21,101
Mr D'Oyly Carte
226
00:32:21,101 --> 00:32:23,664
-Good Evening,ladies
-Good Evening
227
00:32:23,756 --> 00:32:26,637
Mind the intrusion but I simply
had to come and thank you personally
228
00:32:26,637 --> 00:32:29,316
for your wonderful contribution
to our great success
229
00:32:29,878 --> 00:32:32,257
Are you all looking forward for
going home to your mama?
230
00:32:33,338 --> 00:32:35,976
It should be lovely getting back
to London and the old theatre
231
00:32:36,555 --> 00:32:37,356
The old theatre
232
00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:42,326
Ladies.Don't you think that
the opera comique is a little small
233
00:32:42,326 --> 00:32:44,229
for the Gilbert & Sullivan company now?
234
00:32:44,436 --> 00:32:46,215
Why? Are we going to move,Mr D'Oyly Carte?
235
00:32:46,259 --> 00:32:47,849
I can't tell you that ,it's a secret
236
00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:55,941
All right,between the seventeen
of us,you won't say a word?
237
00:32:55,941 --> 00:32:56,508
No
238
00:32:56,508 --> 00:32:57,359
I'm sure you won't
239
00:32:57,359 --> 00:33:01,174
I have bought a site in the
Strand for a completely new building
240
00:33:01,174 --> 00:33:06,306
within a couple of years and a couple of
operas,we shall have our very own theatre
241
00:33:08,152 --> 00:33:08,954
The Savoy
242
00:33:10,774 --> 00:33:12,287
-Good Night,ladies
-Good Night
243
00:33:12,287 --> 00:33:14,242
And a very happy trip over
244
00:33:16,428 --> 00:33:20,532
I know I can rely absolutely
on your indiscretions
245
00:33:29,181 --> 00:33:32,370
Aren't you ready yet, dear, Good gracious,
I've been waiting for half an hour
246
00:33:32,370 --> 00:33:33,897
What have you been doing?
247
00:33:33,897 --> 00:33:35,279
It's only half past seven
248
00:33:35,279 --> 00:33:35,894
Oh Willie
249
00:33:35,894 --> 00:33:39,442
I do wish you wouldn't work yourself
out of such a state on every first night
250
00:33:39,442 --> 00:33:42,074
You don't seem to realize,dear,
this is no ordinary first night
251
00:33:42,074 --> 00:33:45,115
Carte built this theatre specially
for us,if Iolanthe fails
252
00:33:45,115 --> 00:33:47,465
in the full glare of this
confounding new electric light
253
00:33:47,465 --> 00:33:49,685
you find yourself married to a ruined man
254
00:33:49,685 --> 00:33:51,085
Dear,dear,dear
255
00:33:51,085 --> 00:33:53,350
We ought to had a fortnight
extra rehearsal at least
256
00:33:53,350 --> 00:33:55,792
Why don't you go away sit
down and smoke a cigar
257
00:33:55,855 --> 00:33:57,872
Sullivan is enough to
undermine anybody's nerve
258
00:33:57,872 --> 00:33:59,987
He is not at all well,as you
know,he is a sick man
259
00:33:59,987 --> 00:34:02,831
He will get about hobnobbing with
half the crowned heads of Europe
260
00:34:02,831 --> 00:34:05,175
leaving everything till the last moment,
what's the result?
261
00:34:05,175 --> 00:34:06,819
He has to sit up all last
night,scoring the music
262
00:34:06,819 --> 00:34:08,422
And very nice music, it is too
263
00:34:09,248 --> 00:34:10,294
Willie,I do wish..
264
00:34:10,294 --> 00:34:13,310
I don't feel like a cigar,the distractions
scaring me in the face
265
00:34:14,323 --> 00:34:15,729
Brandy and soda then
266
00:34:15,916 --> 00:34:17,564
Are we going to celebrate afterwards?
267
00:34:17,618 --> 00:34:19,880
Arthur Sullivan is giving
a party at Romano's
268
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,648
We certainly are not, I'd soon
think of celebrating a first night
269
00:34:22,648 --> 00:34:26,170
as I would have forthcoming amputation
of the hip joint,do hurry up
270
00:34:37,433 --> 00:34:39,627
-Hello,Jenny
-Good evening,Mr Sullivan
271
00:34:39,627 --> 00:34:40,478
Good evening
272
00:34:40,575 --> 00:34:41,626
The best,glad to meet you
273
00:34:41,933 --> 00:34:42,673
-Arthur
-Ellen
274
00:34:42,673 --> 00:34:44,229
My dear,how do you feel?
275
00:34:44,229 --> 00:34:45,516
Feeling better every moment
276
00:34:46,157 --> 00:34:47,691
The ozone of the theatre
277
00:34:48,248 --> 00:34:49,378
It's nothing like it
278
00:34:49,907 --> 00:34:50,800
How is he Louis?
279
00:34:50,883 --> 00:34:52,389
He should never have come out,Madame
280
00:34:52,460 --> 00:34:54,441
Nonsense,how is the house,
that's much more important
281
00:34:54,507 --> 00:34:55,918
Wonderful,come and see,
everyone will be here tonight
282
00:34:55,918 --> 00:35:01,262
The Prince of Wales,Duke of Edinburgh,
Mr Gladstone,Oscar Wilde,Mr Irwing
283
00:35:01,262 --> 00:35:03,944
They are singing the Pirates
284
00:35:23,915 --> 00:35:26,148
-Good Evening,Grossmith
-Good Evening,Mr Gilbert
285
00:35:26,561 --> 00:35:29,279
-How are you feeling?
-I'm a bit nervous,I'm afraid
286
00:35:29,361 --> 00:35:31,848
You mustn't be nervous,you
are playing the Lord Chancellor
287
00:35:32,177 --> 00:35:33,679
Lord Chancellors are never at a loss
288
00:35:34,669 --> 00:35:35,341
No,I suppose not
289
00:35:35,341 --> 00:35:38,580
And you must remember,nervousness always
communicating itself to other people
290
00:35:38,580 --> 00:35:39,582
Yes,of course
291
00:35:39,628 --> 00:35:40,644
I know you won't forget
292
00:35:40,644 --> 00:35:43,666
that every syllable of the nightmare
song must be absolutely distinct
293
00:35:43,961 --> 00:35:45,077
It is very good,Mr Gilbert
294
00:35:46,848 --> 00:35:48,280
No man can do more than his best
295
00:35:48,925 --> 00:35:49,784
No,Sir
296
00:35:54,821 --> 00:35:57,022
I've just been putting Paul
Grossmith at his ease
297
00:36:00,161 --> 00:36:02,471
Grossmith.Good luck old chap,
all the very best
298
00:36:02,471 --> 00:36:06,205
Not that you've anything to worry about
you've always rise to the occasion
299
00:36:06,205 --> 00:36:08,291
You really think so,Dr Sullivan?
300
00:36:08,291 --> 00:36:13,666
Think so? I'm sure of it.Gilbert
hates first nights,I love them
301
00:36:17,004 --> 00:36:18,840
Now you are quite sure you know what to do
302
00:36:19,575 --> 00:36:23,387
On the first signal you turn down the
gas,on the second the electric power
303
00:36:23,470 --> 00:36:25,665
The Royal Highness carriage
just entered the Strand
304
00:36:25,665 --> 00:36:28,783
The Strand? Come with me
305
00:36:35,656 --> 00:36:36,715
He Royal Highness
306
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:06,896
Royal Highnesses,Your Excellencies,
My Lords,Ladies and Gentlemen
307
00:37:07,929 --> 00:37:09,128
Welcome to our theatre
308
00:37:09,503 --> 00:37:13,930
The new home for the genius of
Mr Gilbert and Doctor Sullivan
309
00:37:16,235 --> 00:37:17,481
This is the first time
310
00:37:17,481 --> 00:37:23,113
that it has been attempted to light
any public building with the electricity
311
00:37:25,345 --> 00:37:31,227
In order that you may judge the difference
I have withheld the electric lightning
312
00:37:31,227 --> 00:37:36,446
until His Royal Highness gives his
gracious assent to the new illumination
313
00:37:36,446 --> 00:37:37,458
Your Royal Highness
314
00:38:03,535 --> 00:38:05,413
Thank you,thank you
315
00:38:05,652 --> 00:38:08,176
Now some anxiety has been expressed
316
00:38:08,176 --> 00:38:13,167
as to whether there is any danger to the
public,what is termed an electrical shock
317
00:38:13,167 --> 00:38:19,095
but as you will see,the lamps are
quite safe and easy to handle
318
00:38:20,175 --> 00:38:24,075
however,some of you may ask,
supposing the lamps were to break
319
00:38:24,075 --> 00:38:27,350
surely then they would danger of fire
320
00:38:35,881 --> 00:38:39,312
As you can see quite untouched
321
00:38:43,171 --> 00:38:45,047
Well done,well done
322
00:38:45,047 --> 00:38:46,111
Thank Goodness for that
323
00:38:47,451 --> 00:38:47,978
Quite ready
324
00:38:49,365 --> 00:38:50,115
Good Luck
325
00:38:50,115 --> 00:38:52,682
-Going out ?
-I'm going out for a long walk
326
00:38:55,534 --> 00:38:57,088
Be ready to take out the house light
327
00:39:28,797 --> 00:39:30,992
Ten past nine
328
00:41:23,667 --> 00:41:24,793
The night mare song
329
00:41:24,793 --> 00:41:25,538
Yes,Sir
330
00:41:26,388 --> 00:41:27,572
Large nightcap and soda
331
00:41:27,577 --> 00:41:28,343
Beg you pardon,Sir
332
00:41:29,042 --> 00:41:30,346
Large brandy and soda
333
00:41:30,346 --> 00:41:31,650
Be a minute,yes,Sir
334
00:42:18,174 --> 00:42:19,019
Four pence ,please
335
00:42:20,698 --> 00:42:21,444
What?
336
00:42:21,444 --> 00:42:23,023
That'll be four pence,please,Sir
337
00:42:31,983 --> 00:42:32,618
Sir!
338
00:43:07,237 --> 00:43:08,405
Cab! Cab!
339
00:43:17,515 --> 00:43:19,105
Faster
340
00:44:31,321 --> 00:44:33,016
Thank you,my dear fellow,thank you
341
00:44:33,699 --> 00:44:34,293
Thanks
342
00:44:42,262 --> 00:44:43,826
Congratulations,Mr Gilbert
343
00:44:44,310 --> 00:44:45,233
Thank you,thank you
344
00:44:45,233 --> 00:44:49,024
-May I congratulate you,Mr Gilbert
-Thank you,my dear,you were charming
345
00:44:49,024 --> 00:44:50,605
My Queen of the Fairies
346
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:52,492
My friends of authors
347
00:44:52,999 --> 00:44:55,344
Congratulations,Willie darling,
it went wonderful
348
00:44:55,344 --> 00:44:57,795
Thank you, my darling,what a relief,
I feel a different man
349
00:44:57,795 --> 00:45:00,783
Grossmith,my dear fellow,how
did the night mare song go?
350
00:45:00,783 --> 00:45:02,843
Marvellously,thank you,
Mr Gilbert,a double encore
351
00:45:02,843 --> 00:45:03,975
Capital,capital
352
00:45:05,555 --> 00:45:06,347
What is it? Brandy
353
00:45:07,056 --> 00:45:07,740
What happened?
354
00:45:07,740 --> 00:45:08,334
He is ill
355
00:45:08,334 --> 00:45:11,744
No,it's nothing,nothing, a little giddy
356
00:45:11,822 --> 00:45:12,181
Sit down a minute
357
00:45:12,276 --> 00:45:14,477
-Pillow
-No,this will do him much more good
358
00:45:15,035 --> 00:45:16,578
-There you are
-Thank you,Gilbert
359
00:45:16,729 --> 00:45:18,112
He had no sleep for three nights
360
00:45:19,348 --> 00:45:20,365
How are you feeling now?
361
00:45:21,397 --> 00:45:22,002
Much better
362
00:45:22,002 --> 00:45:23,593
He should never have come,Mr Gilbert
363
00:45:23,593 --> 00:45:26,663
Rubbish,Louis,rubbish,
I'm perfectly all right
364
00:45:27,201 --> 00:45:28,874
Louis,put him to bed and call a doctor
365
00:45:28,874 --> 00:45:29,532
Yes,Madame
366
00:45:30,115 --> 00:45:31,247
Is he all right,Mr Gilbert?
367
00:45:31,247 --> 00:45:31,831
Yes,of course
368
00:45:32,192 --> 00:45:34,365
Just a bit overtired,be all
right in the morning
369
00:45:39,726 --> 00:45:40,779
Mr Sullivan's carriage
370
00:45:40,852 --> 00:45:42,348
Would you like us to come with you?
371
00:45:42,348 --> 00:45:44,110
No,no I'll be all right
372
00:45:44,637 --> 00:45:48,351
Oh,Gilbert,my supper party at Romano's.
Would you look after it?
373
00:45:48,351 --> 00:45:50,640
Of course,I'll see to it,don't
worry about that
374
00:45:51,062 --> 00:45:51,652
Sorry,Gilbert
375
00:45:51,652 --> 00:45:53,174
Look after him,Louis
376
00:45:53,174 --> 00:45:54,118
Yes,Sir
377
00:45:58,075 --> 00:46:00,938
Poor Sullivan,amazing
378
00:46:00,938 --> 00:46:02,210
Too much for him,you know?
379
00:46:02,696 --> 00:46:04,182
All too much for him
380
00:46:04,969 --> 00:46:07,795
Well,now come along everybody,
Romanos,Romanos
381
00:46:08,363 --> 00:46:09,302
We must celebrate
382
00:47:02,058 --> 00:47:03,430
That's better.Where was I?
383
00:47:04,050 --> 00:47:06,084
I hope you forgive me,my dear Gilbert
384
00:47:06,328 --> 00:47:08,638
Oh,yes,my dear Gilbert,
I hope you forgive me
385
00:47:08,638 --> 00:47:11,736
but it is the first time a new plot
of yours has not appealed to me
386
00:47:12,326 --> 00:47:17,586
Frankly your idea of a magic lozenge is
one that I cannot bring myself to swallow
387
00:47:18,197 --> 00:47:21,226
Although I'll be only too glad
to resume my happy collaboration
388
00:47:21,226 --> 00:47:24,193
on a story of really human
interest and probability
389
00:47:24,969 --> 00:47:27,865
Meanwhile there is no hurry
as I accepted an invitation
390
00:47:27,865 --> 00:47:32,291
to compose a dramatic cantata for
the Leed's festival for which my friend
391
00:47:32,291 --> 00:47:34,570
Joseph Bennet the eminent critic
392
00:47:35,873 --> 00:47:38,913
is adapting Longfellow's beautiful
poem the Golden Legend
393
00:47:39,785 --> 00:47:42,882
so very much is expected of me
by the world of serious music
394
00:47:42,882 --> 00:47:47,006
that I must devote myself during the
coming weeks to this ambitious work
395
00:47:47,063 --> 00:47:48,310
How does that sounds to you?
396
00:47:49,363 --> 00:47:51,496
I'm more delighted than I can say it
397
00:47:51,803 --> 00:47:53,583
Gilbert is not going to like this,you know
398
00:47:53,874 --> 00:47:56,648
Your friends are asking themselves
what are you going to give us?
399
00:47:56,648 --> 00:48:00,293
Another Pirates or Pinafore
that will be dead and forgotten
400
00:48:00,293 --> 00:48:04,151
in another ten years or a stream of
glorious harmony that will live forever
401
00:48:04,151 --> 00:48:06,200
What's wrong with both?
402
00:48:06,905 --> 00:48:07,535
Oh,Arthur
403
00:48:08,876 --> 00:48:11,573
Will you see that this goes over
to Mr Gilbert by hands at once?
404
00:48:11,573 --> 00:48:12,630
Yes,Sir
405
00:48:13,168 --> 00:48:14,414
It's almost half past,Sir
406
00:48:14,414 --> 00:48:14,982
What?
407
00:48:15,936 --> 00:48:17,250
Good heavens,so it is
408
00:48:17,250 --> 00:48:18,194
Well,I must be going
409
00:48:18,194 --> 00:48:20,003
No,my dear Joseph there is no need for that
410
00:48:20,003 --> 00:48:24,911
No,I must not take up your time,it is too
valuable and we haven't much time to spare
411
00:48:24,911 --> 00:48:28,915
My dear Arthur,the path of the
two Arthurs is beset with temptations
412
00:48:29,416 --> 00:48:30,250
Thank you
413
00:48:31,013 --> 00:48:33,995
I'm glad you are devoting yourself
to work of a more earnest character
414
00:48:34,537 --> 00:48:36,097
-Au revoir
-Good Bye,Joseph
415
00:48:36,629 --> 00:48:39,043
Louis,preserve your master
from distractions
416
00:48:39,043 --> 00:48:40,690
we are expecting great things of him
417
00:48:40,690 --> 00:48:41,389
Yes,Sir
418
00:48:41,869 --> 00:48:44,199
To resume our happy
collaboration on a story
419
00:48:44,210 --> 00:48:46,285
of real human interest and probability
420
00:48:46,285 --> 00:48:48,397
Human interest and probability?
421
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,290
My dear Sullivan
422
00:49:49,563 --> 00:49:50,169
Willie,darling
423
00:49:50,169 --> 00:49:53,687
I thought you might like some coffee
as you don't seem to be coming to bed
424
00:49:54,194 --> 00:49:57,098
How does it feel to be married
to a transcendent genius?
425
00:49:57,327 --> 00:49:59,418
I suppose I'll always taken
it for granted, dear
426
00:49:59,772 --> 00:50:00,628
-Milk?
-Thank you
427
00:50:01,019 --> 00:50:02,907
Kitty,I had a magnificent idea
428
00:50:03,189 --> 00:50:03,997
How nice,biscuit?
429
00:50:04,508 --> 00:50:06,920
Will you telephone Sullivan for me?
430
00:50:06,964 --> 00:50:08,303
But it is past midnight,Willie
431
00:50:08,303 --> 00:50:09,487
He never goes to bed
432
00:50:11,573 --> 00:50:12,251
Are you there?
433
00:50:13,130 --> 00:50:15,351
Metropolitan Exchange 3684 please
434
00:50:16,381 --> 00:50:18,806
I'll give him human interest
and probability
435
00:50:22,982 --> 00:50:24,693
-Yes
-Sullivan,can you hear me?
436
00:50:24,745 --> 00:50:25,475
It's you,Gilbert
437
00:50:25,475 --> 00:50:27,550
-I've got something to read to you at once
-What?
438
00:50:27,550 --> 00:50:28,520
I'm sending my carriage
439
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,065
But I'm working,I'm in bed
440
00:50:31,065 --> 00:50:32,676
Never mind,get up
441
00:50:33,610 --> 00:50:36,817
Get dressed,we are going to Japan
442
00:52:01,793 --> 00:52:03,070
Capital,bravo
443
00:52:03,539 --> 00:52:05,035
May I ask ,what was it?
444
00:52:05,865 --> 00:52:07,012
From Mikado
445
00:52:07,909 --> 00:52:08,863
Another comic opera?
446
00:52:10,078 --> 00:52:11,721
Well,yes
447
00:52:13,155 --> 00:52:16,524
Well,thank you ladies,that was
very nice,that'll for today
448
00:52:16,524 --> 00:52:17,827
Good Bye,Dr Sullivan
449
00:52:17,827 --> 00:52:19,317
Thank you,Dr Sullivan
450
00:52:19,735 --> 00:52:20,528
Thank you,Sir
451
00:52:22,515 --> 00:52:23,830
Such a lovely tune
452
00:52:25,618 --> 00:52:28,089
I thought you might like to know
that Her Majesty the Queen
453
00:52:28,089 --> 00:52:29,116
has graciously consented
454
00:52:29,116 --> 00:52:31,640
to attend the first London performance
of the Golden Legend
455
00:52:32,058 --> 00:52:33,223
The Queen?
456
00:52:33,223 --> 00:52:36,168
That is of course if you ever
have time to finish it
457
00:53:28,632 --> 00:53:29,216
Gilbert
458
00:53:30,796 --> 00:53:31,896
What is it,D'Oyly Carte?
459
00:53:32,355 --> 00:53:35,422
I think you ought to know,I've
still haven't heard anything from Sullivan
460
00:53:35,422 --> 00:53:36,825
You mean he hasn't fit the music?
461
00:53:36,825 --> 00:53:37,486
Not a crotchet
462
00:53:37,868 --> 00:53:39,103
But he promised me faithfully
463
00:53:39,103 --> 00:53:43,274
here we are the first full costume
rehearsal and still three numbers missing
464
00:53:43,368 --> 00:53:45,339
I shall speak to him on the
telephone at once
465
00:53:45,339 --> 00:53:48,135
I have tried that, apparently Louis
can't get him near the machine
466
00:53:48,135 --> 00:53:50,127
-That's absurd.Give me my hat
-Yes,Sir
467
00:53:50,127 --> 00:53:51,900
You keep the mettle,Carte
468
00:53:52,001 --> 00:53:56,449
The time has come to extract these
numbers from Sullivan if necessary by force
469
00:59:02,025 --> 00:59:04,579
Arthur Sullivan,Doctor of Music
470
00:59:04,579 --> 00:59:11,248
First Principal of the National School
of Music,for services to music
471
00:59:19,472 --> 00:59:21,292
Doctor Sullivan,Your Majesty
472
00:59:21,292 --> 00:59:23,023
Good Morning,Doctor Sullivan
473
00:59:23,023 --> 00:59:26,917
I'm very pleased your name has
been submitted by the prime minister
474
00:59:26,917 --> 00:59:31,054
for recognition of your music,
which we all so greatly admire
475
00:59:31,054 --> 00:59:32,956
Your Majesty is most gracious
476
00:59:39,584 --> 00:59:40,898
Sir Arthur
477
00:59:48,938 --> 00:59:52,468
May I say so,Arthur,how greatly
I admired your cantata
478
00:59:52,468 --> 00:59:57,006
the Golden Legend,I frequently play
passages from it on the pianoforte
479
00:59:57,006 --> 00:59:58,195
I'm deeply honoured,Mam
480
00:59:59,628 --> 01:00:01,793
Why don't you write a grand opera?
481
01:00:01,793 --> 01:00:03,878
A grand opera,Madam?
482
01:00:03,878 --> 01:00:06,558
You do it so well
483
01:00:08,785 --> 01:00:09,551
Yes,Mam
484
01:02:25,844 --> 01:02:27,758
Ladies and gentlemen,to the new opera
485
01:02:28,555 --> 01:02:31,517
To Ruddigore,may it be the best yet
486
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:33,238
We all drink to that
487
01:02:33,598 --> 01:02:35,579
Ruddigore what a score
488
01:02:35,579 --> 01:02:37,081
What a title of it
489
01:02:37,884 --> 01:02:40,940
Gilbert,what would you say
our doing a grand opera together
490
01:02:41,534 --> 01:02:42,259
A grand opera?
491
01:02:42,384 --> 01:02:43,015
Yes,one of them
492
01:02:43,103 --> 01:02:45,017
I though Gilbert might like
to write the book
493
01:02:45,017 --> 01:02:46,874
My dear fellow I'm tremendously flattered
494
01:02:46,874 --> 01:02:50,863
but whoever heard the word grand opera
always the triumph of sound over sense
495
01:02:50,863 --> 01:02:54,168
If I don't hear my words you
know how it upsets my digestion
496
01:02:55,071 --> 01:02:56,036
I only raised the point
497
01:02:56,036 --> 01:02:59,711
because I thought I'd like to write
in a new field for a change
498
01:02:59,711 --> 01:03:01,032
Quite so,I understood perfectly
499
01:03:01,568 --> 01:03:04,478
A field where the music doesn't
have to take second place
500
01:03:05,140 --> 01:03:05,922
Second place?
501
01:03:06,495 --> 01:03:07,784
The second place for the words
502
01:03:07,784 --> 01:03:09,562
You are joking
503
01:03:09,807 --> 01:03:11,037
You know I believe in serious
504
01:03:11,037 --> 01:03:14,131
you are not suggesting that's
what happened with me,are you?
505
01:03:14,663 --> 01:03:16,019
But everyone knows that,Gilbert
506
01:03:16,019 --> 01:03:19,611
What? My dear Sullivan you can't
expect me to take you seriously
507
01:03:19,940 --> 01:03:21,447
Are you really under the impression
508
01:03:21,447 --> 01:03:24,267
you've been effacing yourself
during the last twelve years?
509
01:03:24,267 --> 01:03:26,202
I can assure you that time after time
510
01:03:26,202 --> 01:03:29,378
I have had to reduce my music
to a mere "rumpti-tum"
511
01:03:29,378 --> 01:03:32,252
so every syllable of yours could be
heard at the back of the gallery
512
01:03:32,252 --> 01:03:34,843
You've getting a touch of the sun,
you'd better put your hat on
513
01:03:35,385 --> 01:03:39,139
My dear fellow,anyone can tell you that
I always had to play second fiddle
514
01:03:39,572 --> 01:03:41,293
While my words been consistently drowned
515
01:03:41,293 --> 01:03:43,973
by your first fiddle more than
your confounded fiddle
516
01:03:43,973 --> 01:03:45,986
Gentlemen,please think of the company
517
01:03:46,471 --> 01:03:47,677
I am thinking of the company
518
01:03:47,677 --> 01:03:50,369
if Sullivan turns to grand opera,
they all will be out of work
519
01:03:50,369 --> 01:03:53,220
I'm perfectly willing to go on
as we are apparently he isn't
520
01:03:53,220 --> 01:03:54,930
No one has the company more at heart
521
01:03:54,930 --> 01:03:58,566
just because I refuse to consider
myself chained to comic opera
522
01:03:58,566 --> 01:04:01,934
Very few people would object
being chained to a gold mine
523
01:04:01,934 --> 01:04:04,025
A gold mine that may very soon be exhausted
524
01:04:04,025 --> 01:04:06,533
I don't really see what's that
has to do with grand opera
525
01:04:06,533 --> 01:04:07,607
It has this to do with it
526
01:04:08,399 --> 01:04:11,196
I'm not content to go on with
the old way one moment longer
527
01:04:11,602 --> 01:04:13,917
Then I am not content to
go in any other way
528
01:04:13,917 --> 01:04:18,234
if we work together we must work as
master and master,not as master and servant
529
01:04:18,234 --> 01:04:23,340
Exactly,so far it has always been Gilbert's
comedies with music tacked on by me
530
01:04:23,684 --> 01:04:28,560
Tacked on? I do not what to say.How can
I reply to such preposterous nonsense
531
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,343
Don't try,Willie
532
01:04:30,766 --> 01:04:32,934
Dear,this was such a happy occasion
533
01:04:32,934 --> 01:04:36,162
I am sorry,Helen,but the truth
chooses its own time to come out
534
01:04:36,162 --> 01:04:40,387
and the truth is I lost my liking for comic
opera and I'll have no more to do with it
535
01:04:42,295 --> 01:04:47,306
Ladies and Gentlemen,I give you
Mr Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan
536
01:04:49,199 --> 01:04:50,966
It would be nice if you would sat down
537
01:06:28,842 --> 01:06:31,016
Sullivan is an hour and half late already
538
01:06:31,016 --> 01:06:32,430
do you suppose he is coming
at all this morning?
539
01:06:32,430 --> 01:06:34,062
Come,come,we both know better than that
540
01:06:34,062 --> 01:06:36,690
After what what happened yesterday
there is no telling what he will do
541
01:06:36,690 --> 01:06:38,760
Gilbert,do try to make allowances
542
01:06:43,938 --> 01:06:45,184
Thank you,that was excellent
543
01:06:47,203 --> 01:06:48,136
I'm terribly sorry to be so late
544
01:06:48,136 --> 01:06:49,069
He is coming along
545
01:06:49,132 --> 01:06:49,721
Shocking night
546
01:06:49,721 --> 01:06:51,953
I apologize for keeping the company waiting
547
01:06:51,953 --> 01:06:53,017
Good Morning,Sullivan
548
01:06:53,564 --> 01:06:54,158
How are you?
549
01:06:55,404 --> 01:06:58,727
I'd like to begin with numbers four
and five,if Mr Gilbert has no objections
550
01:06:58,727 --> 01:07:03,639
Mr Gilbert has no objections to rehearsing
numbers four,five or any other number
551
01:07:04,078 --> 01:07:07,477
Sir,Roderick Robin,callers and
ghosts,position,please
552
01:07:09,979 --> 01:07:11,586
-Helen
-Yes,I know I heard
553
01:07:11,628 --> 01:07:14,991
Don't worry,they'll never keep it up,
it will be all right after the first night
554
01:07:15,914 --> 01:07:17,875
-Good Morning,Sir Arthur
-Good Morning,Sellier
555
01:07:18,276 --> 01:07:19,694
Line after e gentlemen
556
01:08:23,070 --> 01:08:23,936
Cab
557
01:08:59,672 --> 01:09:01,715
Give us back,the Mikado
558
01:09:06,742 --> 01:09:08,886
Give us back the Mikado
559
01:09:17,275 --> 01:09:19,872
Whatever the press may say the
advance booking was excellent
560
01:09:20,309 --> 01:09:22,997
I think we ought to tell that
to Gilbert and Arthur quickly
561
01:09:22,997 --> 01:09:24,571
Yes,of course
562
01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:26,171
Are you there?
563
01:09:26,751 --> 01:09:29,217
Mr Carte want's to speak
to Mr Gilbert,please
564
01:09:29,941 --> 01:09:30,473
What?
565
01:09:31,198 --> 01:09:32,017
Has he?
566
01:09:32,267 --> 01:09:32,872
Thank you
567
01:09:32,872 --> 01:09:36,444
Apparently Mr Gilbert is not answering
the telephone this morning to anyone
568
01:09:40,647 --> 01:09:43,431
Please telephone to Arthur
Sullivan immediately
569
01:09:44,344 --> 01:09:45,861
Mr Carte,this is Louis speaking
570
01:09:46,393 --> 01:09:47,618
Sir Arthur left this morning
571
01:09:47,618 --> 01:09:48,698
What? Where to?
572
01:09:48,698 --> 01:09:50,658
He took the first train for the Continent
573
01:09:50,658 --> 01:09:51,900
Sullivan has gone abroad
574
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:53,371
What is the address?
575
01:09:53,371 --> 01:09:55,701
I'm afraid he didn't leave one,Sir
576
01:09:56,118 --> 01:10:00,832
All he said that he was going to devote
himself to work of more earnest character
577
01:10:01,635 --> 01:10:03,716
Faites vos jeux ,Monsieurs,Medames
578
01:10:48,175 --> 01:10:51,074
Helen,what are you doing here?
579
01:10:51,074 --> 01:10:53,170
D'Oyly thought a little slug
would be good for me
580
01:10:53,170 --> 01:10:56,778
to my belief it was quite right,I think
you've done rather well as you are, Arthur
581
01:10:57,154 --> 01:10:58,862
How did you know I was in Monte Carlo?
582
01:10:58,862 --> 01:11:02,773
It isn't tactless to quote Ruddigore
"Paragraphs got into all the papers"
583
01:11:03,651 --> 01:11:04,886
Did they I didn't see them
584
01:11:04,886 --> 01:11:08,571
Of course not you were applying
yourself to work of more earnest character
585
01:11:08,571 --> 01:11:09,699
Really,Helen
586
01:11:09,699 --> 01:11:12,912
Ruddigore is still running although
no one knows for how long
587
01:11:13,501 --> 01:11:16,049
Helen,dear,I'm delighted
to see you,of course
588
01:11:16,049 --> 01:11:19,954
if you come all this way with any idea
of trying to make me change my mind
589
01:11:19,954 --> 01:11:22,612
-Have a little stimulant,Arthur
-A little one
590
01:11:22,612 --> 01:11:24,294
You are going to need every drop of it
591
01:11:26,770 --> 01:11:30,334
Helen,surely you can understand,
time is slipping by
592
01:11:30,334 --> 01:11:32,519
already I've spent too much
of it on trifles
593
01:11:33,322 --> 01:11:37,659
from now on I'm determined to devote
myself entirely to serious music
594
01:11:37,659 --> 01:11:41,160
Believe me,we do understand,you
jump to the quite wrong conclusions
595
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:45,665
It is simply that D'Oyly has sent me
here to give you a small message
596
01:11:46,410 --> 01:11:48,372
He has decided to build another theatre
597
01:11:48,372 --> 01:11:49,635
Another theatre? What for?
598
01:11:49,635 --> 01:11:52,511
He is going to call it the
Royal English Opera House
599
01:11:53,258 --> 01:11:54,522
And I'm here,Arthur
600
01:11:54,522 --> 01:11:58,850
to invite you to compose the first
grand opera to open the theatre
601
01:11:59,353 --> 01:12:00,097
Are you serious?
602
01:12:00,675 --> 01:12:03,180
Completely serious,D'Oyly is very
ambitious too,you know
603
01:12:03,180 --> 01:12:05,932
Helen,Helen,how can I ever thank you
604
01:12:05,932 --> 01:12:07,034
Then you accept?
605
01:12:07,034 --> 01:12:09,409
Accept? Of course I accept,
I must leave at once
606
01:12:09,409 --> 01:12:12,222
But there is time for coffee,the theatre
hasn't been designed yet
607
01:12:12,258 --> 01:12:14,355
What? Oh yes,thank you black
608
01:12:15,455 --> 01:12:18,195
So much to do I must see
D'Oyly about a subject
609
01:12:18,195 --> 01:12:22,288
Have you ever read Scott’s Ivanhoe,
a magnificent story for a grand opera
610
01:12:22,363 --> 01:12:24,702
If only one could find the
right man to adapt the book
611
01:12:24,702 --> 01:12:28,959
Btw,Mr Gilbert is sending
his kindest regards
612
01:12:28,959 --> 01:12:31,821
Gilbert ? You know,he would
never touch grand opera
613
01:12:32,474 --> 01:12:35,937
Of course not,I merely indicating
he is willing let bygones be bygones
614
01:12:35,937 --> 01:12:38,967
And in any event he is too busy
for his new libretto for the Savoy
615
01:12:40,006 --> 01:12:42,709
I wonder if the young Pinero
616
01:12:43,081 --> 01:12:43,853
What new libretto?
617
01:12:44,497 --> 01:12:47,737
It's another comic opera,I think it is
the best thing he has done
618
01:12:47,737 --> 01:12:51,597
It's a charming romance set in
the Tower of London,I think you like it
619
01:12:52,970 --> 01:12:53,932
I'll what?
620
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,082
There is plenty of time
to do both,isn't it?
621
01:12:57,082 --> 01:12:57,731
Helen
622
01:12:58,198 --> 01:12:58,764
Sugar,Arthur?
623
01:12:58,764 --> 01:12:59,828
Helen
624
01:13:01,221 --> 01:13:04,775
You aren't by any chance trying
to bribe me with a grand opera?
625
01:13:06,506 --> 01:13:08,556
I said,sugar?
626
01:13:21,493 --> 01:13:22,308
On the desk
627
01:13:26,663 --> 01:13:27,334
Helen
628
01:13:29,555 --> 01:13:30,628
Thank you,thank you
629
01:13:31,685 --> 01:13:32,802
What do you think of this?
630
01:13:33,461 --> 01:13:36,656
The Royal English Opera House as it
will look in twelve months time
631
01:13:37,414 --> 01:13:38,960
D'Oyly it's magnificent
632
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:41,578
Gilbert says it will never pay,
calls it Carte's Folly
633
01:13:42,020 --> 01:13:45,391
Yes,but he admits that he and Arthur
has never worked together so happily
634
01:13:45,391 --> 01:13:48,106
Thanks to our peace maker
635
01:14:11,457 --> 01:14:13,209
Now Kitty,my dear,are you listening?
636
01:14:13,255 --> 01:14:13,799
Yes,Willie
637
01:14:13,799 --> 01:14:21,022
Very well,The Gondoliers,Act 1 Scene 1,
the curtain rises,the scene is Venice
638
01:14:22,527 --> 01:14:25,162
Once upon a time,that's how
all the best stories begin
639
01:14:25,162 --> 01:14:27,654
there were two gondoliers
640
01:14:27,654 --> 01:14:33,467
there names were Marco and Giuseppe,
Giuseppe is the stout one
641
01:15:10,107 --> 01:15:12,428
At last we have arrived at our destination
642
01:15:12,428 --> 01:15:17,394
this is the Duke of Paris and it is
here the grand inquisitor resign
643
01:15:28,350 --> 01:15:32,246
Until it is ascertained which of
you two gondoliers is to be king
644
01:15:32,246 --> 01:15:37,097
I have arranged that you shall
reign jointly as one individual
645
01:15:37,097 --> 01:15:40,220
as one individual like this
646
01:15:40,220 --> 01:15:41,932
something like that
647
01:17:53,318 --> 01:17:55,350
-Good Afternoon,Mr Gilbert
-Good Afternoon,James
648
01:17:56,301 --> 01:17:58,205
-Good Afternoon,Madam
-Good Afternoon
649
01:17:58,205 --> 01:17:59,216
It good to see you again
650
01:17:59,216 --> 01:18:00,990
I hope you had a nice holiday in India
651
01:18:00,990 --> 01:18:02,901
Wonderful,half killed me
652
01:18:02,901 --> 01:18:03,890
An accident,Sir?
653
01:18:03,936 --> 01:18:04,848
Gout
654
01:18:04,848 --> 01:18:06,189
Oh,dear,Sir,I am sorry
655
01:18:06,189 --> 01:18:10,792
This hasn't seen the inside of a boot
for the last three months
656
01:18:11,145 --> 01:18:13,634
Tell Mr Shank that I like to
have a word with him,will you?
657
01:18:13,634 --> 01:18:15,743
He's down at Shaftesbury
Avenue at the moment,Sir
658
01:18:15,743 --> 01:18:17,644
Didn't he know we were coming home today?
659
01:18:18,004 --> 01:18:19,108
It's all been repainted
660
01:18:20,543 --> 01:18:23,039
So it has,got a new carpet too
661
01:18:23,039 --> 01:18:23,802
That's right,Sir
662
01:18:23,802 --> 01:18:26,464
Great improvement,I'll go straight
up to Mr Carte's office
663
01:18:26,464 --> 01:18:27,398
Yes,Sir
664
01:18:27,860 --> 01:18:30,063
Must have cost Carte a pretty penny
665
01:18:30,754 --> 01:18:31,926
Don't rush after him,William
666
01:18:31,926 --> 01:18:36,793
All right,don't fuss I'm still in what
humorously is referred as the private life
667
01:18:39,168 --> 01:18:40,223
Carte is not here
668
01:18:40,223 --> 01:18:41,652
I expect he is back stage then
669
01:18:42,030 --> 01:18:45,734
I sent him a telegram,if there is one
thing Carte expects,it's a telegram
670
01:18:45,734 --> 01:18:47,138
He is sure to be here in a minute
671
01:18:48,337 --> 01:18:50,702
I think we both feel a benefit
if you sat down
672
01:18:51,213 --> 01:18:52,384
Nobody there either
673
01:18:53,866 --> 01:18:56,493
Come in,the place is inhabited after all
674
01:18:58,104 --> 01:19:00,067
-Perhaps I was rather overstating it
-Yes,Sir
675
01:19:00,067 --> 01:19:03,038
Tell Mr Carte that Mr and
Mrs Gilbert have arrived
676
01:19:03,038 --> 01:19:04,247
He is not in,Sir
677
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:05,728
Where is he?
678
01:19:05,728 --> 01:19:06,641
Shaftesbury Avenue
679
01:19:07,423 --> 01:19:10,178
What is this devouring passion
for Shaftesbury Avenue?
680
01:19:10,524 --> 01:19:11,928
He is at the new Opera House,Sir
681
01:19:12,535 --> 01:19:14,086
The new opera house,I see
682
01:19:14,086 --> 01:19:15,426
Tell Mrs Carte then
683
01:19:15,936 --> 01:19:16,897
She is out too,Sir
684
01:19:17,458 --> 01:19:20,404
Where is she? Thank you boy,that'll do
685
01:19:20,897 --> 01:19:22,410
The new Mecca apparently
686
01:19:22,410 --> 01:19:24,516
Never mind you can meet him tomorrow
687
01:19:24,516 --> 01:19:26,579
I particularly want to see him today
688
01:19:26,579 --> 01:19:29,638
here I am after months abroad
teeming with new ideas
689
01:19:30,174 --> 01:19:30,912
Can you hear me?
690
01:19:31,561 --> 01:19:34,421
This is Mr Gilbert,is Arthur
Sullivan in London?
691
01:19:35,697 --> 01:19:38,651
He is,oh capital,will you?
Thank you
692
01:19:40,692 --> 01:19:44,089
Savoy Theatre Quarterly Accounts,
copy for Mr Gilbert
693
01:19:44,509 --> 01:19:46,705
Don't you think you ought to
put your foot up,my dear?
694
01:19:46,705 --> 01:19:49,173
I feel more like putting it
down at the moment,dear
695
01:19:49,537 --> 01:19:51,500
Quite bad enough,not being
met at the station
696
01:19:54,332 --> 01:19:55,266
How on earth
697
01:19:56,589 --> 01:20:02,256
Good Heavens,Carte deducted 4500 £
from our profit for so called expenses
698
01:20:02,363 --> 01:20:06,057
he is actually charging us
500 £ for that new carpet
699
01:20:06,874 --> 01:20:10,254
Hello,yes I certainly do,will
you connect him,please
700
01:20:10,893 --> 01:20:13,382
Hello,Sullivan,how are you? Have you seen..
701
01:20:14,833 --> 01:20:15,572
Where is he gone?
702
01:20:17,678 --> 01:20:20,579
The new opera house,there
you have the answer in a nutshell
703
01:20:20,579 --> 01:20:23,604
Kitty you take a carriage home
I have business to attend to
704
01:20:23,604 --> 01:20:27,558
Do wait till you calm down,dear,
where are you going now?
705
01:20:27,558 --> 01:20:30,533
I'm joining the gathering procession
to Shaftesbury Avenue
706
01:20:51,437 --> 01:20:53,100
Where is Mr D'oyly Carte?
707
01:20:53,912 --> 01:20:54,836
Up there,Sir
708
01:21:01,224 --> 01:21:02,398
-Take me up
-What?
709
01:21:02,398 --> 01:21:05,409
Don't argue,man,take me up
710
01:21:05,409 --> 01:21:06,231
All right
711
01:21:18,234 --> 01:21:20,334
Magnificent.If you think
of the classical music
712
01:21:20,334 --> 01:21:21,953
should I feel we take out in gold
713
01:21:22,561 --> 01:21:24,431
Quiet.Isn't it Gilbert? How are you,Gilbert
714
01:21:24,431 --> 01:21:27,201
Back I see.What do you think of all this?
715
01:21:27,602 --> 01:21:30,474
I must apologize for intruding
on your private Valhalla,gentlemen
716
01:21:30,474 --> 01:21:33,857
I realize I'm only a figure
from the popular theatre
717
01:21:33,857 --> 01:21:35,010
What's the matter Gilbert?
718
01:21:35,010 --> 01:21:38,058
I have just left Savoy,you may
recollect that there is such a place
719
01:21:38,058 --> 01:21:42,209
to find it deserted by the management
and other evidence of gross neglect
720
01:21:42,209 --> 01:21:43,756
What do you mean,gross neglect?
721
01:21:43,756 --> 01:21:46,164
Exactly what I say,if you
have seen these accounts
722
01:21:46,164 --> 01:21:48,905
of course you haven't,
I always have to attend to them
723
01:21:48,905 --> 01:21:50,509
Can't you get this thing down?
724
01:21:50,509 --> 01:21:54,866
4500 £ deducted from our profits,
do you hear that,Sullivan?
725
01:21:54,866 --> 01:21:56,327
I'm not interested
726
01:21:56,327 --> 01:22:01,218
250 £ for a gondola, 150 £ for iron
mongering,iron mongerer,
727
01:22:01,218 --> 01:22:05,251
capital,500 £ for that carpet the
carpet for the front of the house
728
01:22:05,251 --> 01:22:07,451
while Carte has been building
his white elephant
729
01:22:07,451 --> 01:22:10,871
you and I have been refurbishing
the Savoy fully unaware
730
01:22:10,871 --> 01:22:13,414
White? Are you calling
this a white elephant?
731
01:22:13,414 --> 01:22:16,968
Gilbert,I should be sorry to lose
the advantage of the production
732
01:22:16,968 --> 01:22:20,513
of your future operas but the
earth doesn't contain the money
733
01:22:20,513 --> 01:22:22,732
that will pay me to put up
with these sort of things
734
01:22:22,732 --> 01:22:26,537
Very well,then,I'll write no
more for the Savoy
735
01:22:37,199 --> 01:22:38,733
Wait for me,Warlock
736
01:22:38,844 --> 01:22:41,473
Sir Arthur Sullivan,beg you
pardon Sir,I'm from the Chronicle
737
01:22:41,473 --> 01:22:42,791
I was afraid you might be
738
01:22:42,791 --> 01:22:44,176
-About these rumours,Sir
-What?
739
01:22:44,176 --> 01:22:47,119
That your long partnership with
Mr Gilbert is likely to come to an end
740
01:22:47,119 --> 01:22:49,526
I can't say anything now,excuse me
741
01:22:50,837 --> 01:22:52,115
I'm merely insisting,Madame
742
01:22:52,115 --> 01:22:56,522
that he has no rights to charge any
part of that carpet to Sullivan or myself
743
01:22:56,871 --> 01:23:00,803
And I insist that it comes under
the simple heading of fair wear and tear
744
01:23:00,803 --> 01:23:02,561
clause 7 of our agreement
745
01:23:02,561 --> 01:23:03,923
Mumbo jumbo
746
01:23:03,923 --> 01:23:05,734
I don't know quite what you are suggesting
747
01:23:05,734 --> 01:23:08,354
-D'Oyly,Gilbert,listen to me
-Sullivan,please
748
01:23:08,354 --> 01:23:13,798
No,let me speak.For over fifteen years our
three names have been linked in harmony,
749
01:23:13,798 --> 01:23:16,583
wherever where our operas
are played,you often said that
750
01:23:16,583 --> 01:23:20,395
Gilbert and Sullivan are as much a
national institution as Westminster Abbey
751
01:23:20,913 --> 01:23:23,619
And here we are bickering
over the price of a carpet
752
01:23:24,108 --> 01:23:25,245
Gentlemen,please remember
753
01:23:25,245 --> 01:23:29,055
you are quarrelling in the very
theatre built out of your success
754
01:23:29,793 --> 01:23:32,915
Listen why don't you take a
leaf out of your own book
755
01:23:33,936 --> 01:23:36,073
The Gondoliers at two
756
01:23:55,198 --> 01:23:56,791
Free from every kind of passion
757
01:23:56,791 --> 01:24:03,317
some solution we must find,your
words,Mr Gilbert,your music Sir Arthur
758
01:24:03,317 --> 01:24:04,126
Thank you,Helen
759
01:24:05,098 --> 01:24:06,108
I'm sure we can forget
760
01:24:06,108 --> 01:24:10,013
what been said and talk over our
difficulties calmly like reasonable men
761
01:24:10,013 --> 01:24:12,153
I'm more than willing
762
01:24:12,153 --> 01:24:14,810
All right,Carte you'll be reasonable first
763
01:24:14,810 --> 01:24:17,657
I'm sure if Gilbert looks at it calmly
764
01:24:17,657 --> 01:24:20,136
he is bound to see that
my attitude is reasonable
765
01:24:20,136 --> 01:24:23,290
In other words no advance
on fair wear and tear
766
01:24:23,821 --> 01:24:26,515
Don't you think we could forget
the carpet if only for a moment
767
01:24:26,515 --> 01:24:28,607
Nothing would delight me more Madame
768
01:24:28,607 --> 01:24:30,919
to shake the dust of clause
seven from our feet
769
01:24:30,919 --> 01:24:33,592
besides we all know the carpet is
only a symptom of the disease
770
01:24:33,592 --> 01:24:37,076
which has been rotting the fabric
of this partnership since 1883
771
01:24:37,076 --> 01:24:40,347
If we must quarrel,at least can't
we quarrel in the present tense
772
01:24:40,347 --> 01:24:43,582
I can well understand your reluctance
to embark on the past imperfect
773
01:24:43,582 --> 01:24:44,777
I'm only reluctant..
774
01:24:56,686 --> 01:24:57,830
So it has come to this end
775
01:24:57,830 --> 01:24:58,567
It has
776
01:24:59,237 --> 01:25:02,343
After fifteen years wonderful
association over a mere carpet
777
01:25:02,343 --> 01:25:04,335
No,Madame,people may say so
778
01:25:04,335 --> 01:25:07,109
but Sullivan knows and I know
that it goes deeper than that
779
01:25:07,719 --> 01:25:11,234
I said it before and I 'll say it again
a cobbler should stick to his last
780
01:25:12,178 --> 01:25:13,520
There is nothing more to be said
781
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:16,556
I'm physically and mentally ill over
this whole wretched business
782
01:25:16,908 --> 01:25:22,156
Very well,God Day,Madame,Good Day Carte
783
01:25:22,584 --> 01:25:27,367
I think you may find it was a mistake to
kick down the ladder by which you've risen
784
01:26:16,375 --> 01:26:19,678
Dedicated by special permission to
Her Most Gracious Majesty The Queen
785
01:26:19,678 --> 01:26:24,119
at whose suggestion this work was
written in grateful acknowledgement
786
01:26:24,119 --> 01:26:26,023
of Her Majesty's kindly encouragement
787
01:26:26,023 --> 01:26:29,742
by her humble and devoted
subject and servant,Arthur Sullivan
788
01:26:30,372 --> 01:26:36,940
Thank you indeed,Sir Arthur I shall treasure
this always,such a very beautiful volume
789
01:26:38,808 --> 01:26:41,187
So this work was written on my suggestion?
790
01:26:42,165 --> 01:26:45,658
Indeed yes,Mam,Your
Majesty may perhaps recall
791
01:26:45,658 --> 01:26:47,576
Yes,yes I believe I do
792
01:26:47,576 --> 01:26:50,577
How very gratifying
793
01:26:52,038 --> 01:26:55,797
I've been thinking it's time we
had a performance at Windsor
794
01:26:55,797 --> 01:26:59,259
a stage can very easily be
erected in the Waterloo Gallery
795
01:26:59,259 --> 01:27:01,463
and the company could be
brought down from London
796
01:27:02,252 --> 01:27:03,885
It's an honour and a privilege,Mam
797
01:27:04,387 --> 01:27:05,945
It shall be arranged shortly
798
01:27:07,051 --> 01:27:09,173
Since the Prince of Wales
told me all about it
799
01:27:09,173 --> 01:27:11,964
I have always wanted to see the Gondoliers
800
01:27:11,964 --> 01:27:13,715
The Gondoliers,Mam?
801
01:27:13,715 --> 01:27:19,991
Yes,of course I know all the
tunes very well already but..
802
01:27:21,211 --> 01:27:22,472
What is it Sir Arthur?
803
01:27:23,443 --> 01:27:25,070
Would it not be practical?
804
01:27:26,854 --> 01:27:28,101
Certainly,Mam,of course
805
01:27:28,101 --> 01:27:32,405
It's just I'm overwhelmed
806
01:28:50,471 --> 01:29:00,016
The cobbler should stick to his last
807
01:29:12,562 --> 01:29:13,651
Happy New Year,my dear
808
01:29:15,100 --> 01:29:16,283
Happy New Year,Helen
809
01:29:18,022 --> 01:29:20,874
You know,it's not everyone who is privileged
810
01:29:20,874 --> 01:29:25,703
of watching the old year and the old
century go out hand in hand
811
01:29:26,046 --> 01:29:28,983
The old century,Victoria's century
812
01:29:28,983 --> 01:29:33,764
sad to see it go,so many
things has gone with it
813
01:29:33,816 --> 01:29:35,135
I know what you are thinking
814
01:29:35,135 --> 01:29:36,308
You always do
815
01:29:36,825 --> 01:29:37,993
Sullivan and Gilbert?
816
01:29:37,993 --> 01:29:38,967
Gilbert and Sullivan
817
01:29:38,967 --> 01:29:41,252
They may come back after all
818
01:29:41,252 --> 01:29:43,870
No,they are not even on speaking terms
819
01:29:44,058 --> 01:29:45,742
Besides it's never quite be the same
820
01:29:46,785 --> 01:29:48,818
This is a night for looking
forward,not back
821
01:29:48,818 --> 01:29:52,228
You are right,come to think of it,
you always are right
822
01:29:52,228 --> 01:29:53,845
The new century
823
01:29:54,476 --> 01:29:55,686
To the new century
824
01:32:47,242 --> 01:32:50,808
No,no.That wasn't how I taught
it to you years ago
825
01:32:53,301 --> 01:32:54,781
Mr Gilbert!
826
01:32:55,293 --> 01:33:01,008
Now,once again,please,and
I helped that man to escape
827
01:33:05,518 --> 01:33:07,009
And I kept his secret
828
01:33:09,293 --> 01:33:12,835
And pretended that I was
his dearly loving sister
829
01:33:17,173 --> 01:33:18,388
That was much better,my dear
830
01:33:18,784 --> 01:33:20,296
Punctuate,punctuate
831
01:33:20,296 --> 01:33:23,529
Mr Gilbert,it's wonderful to see
you again after all this long time
832
01:33:25,646 --> 01:33:27,826
I thought the quartet was
quite beautiful rendered
833
01:33:27,826 --> 01:33:32,394
but you must remember your consonants
your ms and your ns and your ts
834
01:33:32,394 --> 01:33:33,572
Mr Gilbert
835
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:42,432
-How are you?
-Good Afternoon,Mrs Carte
836
01:33:42,432 --> 01:33:44,814
I came up to London
to lunch at the Garrick
837
01:33:44,814 --> 01:33:47,302
as I happened to be passing
I thought I'd look in
838
01:33:47,302 --> 01:33:49,205
We are all very glad that you did
839
01:33:49,205 --> 01:33:51,979
Mr Cross,I think we might all have tea now
840
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:53,554
How's D'Oyly?
841
01:33:53,554 --> 01:33:56,116
He is a little better,he got
up the first time yesterday
842
01:33:56,116 --> 01:33:57,049
Good
843
01:33:57,539 --> 01:33:58,885
-Been a long time
-Yes
844
01:33:59,562 --> 01:34:01,596
I think the Yeoman was favourite,you know
845
01:34:02,039 --> 01:34:04,145
Best thing Sullivan and I ever wrote
846
01:34:04,730 --> 01:34:05,830
I hear he has been ill too
847
01:34:06,382 --> 01:34:07,212
Very ill,indeed
848
01:34:07,212 --> 01:34:08,645
-Is he back in England?
-Yes
849
01:34:08,645 --> 01:34:11,347
-He got back last week
-Good,good
850
01:34:11,932 --> 01:34:12,838
Poor fellow
851
01:34:13,443 --> 01:34:14,877
He suffered a great deal
852
01:34:14,877 --> 01:34:17,718
You know it is over two years since
he and I spoke to each other
853
01:34:17,718 --> 01:34:20,252
That's nothing less than
a tragedy,Mr Gilbert
854
01:34:20,252 --> 01:34:22,135
Things were never the same after our quarrel
855
01:34:22,135 --> 01:34:24,180
nothing seemed to go right for us,you know
856
01:34:24,180 --> 01:34:26,411
Is Sullivan coming to the
first night of our revival?
857
01:34:26,782 --> 01:34:28,179
He might if you were to ask him
858
01:34:28,638 --> 01:34:29,165
I?
859
01:34:29,165 --> 01:34:30,974
I think it would mean a great deal to him
860
01:34:30,974 --> 01:34:32,659
Can't you send him a message?
861
01:34:32,846 --> 01:34:35,052
I really don't think that's necessary
862
01:34:42,310 --> 01:34:44,782
-My dear Gilbert
-My dear Sullivan
863
01:34:44,782 --> 01:34:47,269
I was lunching at the club
and happened to be passing
864
01:34:47,269 --> 01:34:49,589
-So I heard
-Oh,did you?
865
01:34:50,194 --> 01:34:51,702
I'm sorry to see you like this
866
01:34:51,702 --> 01:34:54,079
Yes,he gave me up for
lost in the south of France
867
01:34:54,079 --> 01:34:55,952
Prince of Wales sent his own doctor
868
01:34:55,952 --> 01:34:57,906
but I am a good deal better
now as you can see
869
01:34:57,906 --> 01:34:59,878
Yes,yes,quite yes,obviously
870
01:34:59,878 --> 01:35:03,257
Gilbert,what would you say to
burying the hatchets once and for all
871
01:35:03,257 --> 01:35:04,597
and smoking the pipe of peace
872
01:35:04,597 --> 01:35:07,246
There is nothing I should
like more,just a minute
873
01:35:07,684 --> 01:35:08,362
How's the gout?
874
01:35:09,029 --> 01:35:12,616
That's taken a back feet,arthritis has
now moved up in the first place
875
01:35:13,540 --> 01:35:14,697
Same old Gilbert
876
01:35:14,697 --> 01:35:16,840
Couldn't we make this
a public reconciliation?
877
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:17,570
What do you mean?
878
01:35:17,570 --> 01:35:20,882
Take our calls together on the first night
like we used to do,all three of us?
879
01:35:20,882 --> 01:35:22,050
-Including Carte?
-Why not?
880
01:35:22,050 --> 01:35:24,886
The old firm or should I say the infirm
881
01:35:24,902 --> 01:35:26,446
This thing presents certain problems
882
01:35:26,446 --> 01:35:28,275
Not at all Louis can wheel you off
883
01:35:28,275 --> 01:35:33,756
What a trio of old crocks we pick up,
what we really need is three wheel chairs
884
01:35:33,756 --> 01:35:36,385
So we..That's a brilliant idea
885
01:35:36,619 --> 01:35:37,183
What?
886
01:35:37,183 --> 01:35:39,696
We all take our calls in wheel chairs
887
01:35:39,696 --> 01:35:43,950
Gilbert,you are quite right,three wheel
chairs it'll look wonderful from the front
888
01:35:43,950 --> 01:35:45,358
It'll bring the house down
889
01:35:45,358 --> 01:35:48,946
Helen,put down two wheel
chairs for the opening night
890
01:35:48,946 --> 01:35:50,494
the the third one will do for D'Oyly
891
01:35:50,494 --> 01:35:52,549
Yes,I heard you,I think
it is a charming idea
892
01:35:52,929 --> 01:35:54,447
You can wheel D'Oyly on,Helen
893
01:35:54,447 --> 01:35:56,487
Arthur,I don't want to hurry you
894
01:35:56,487 --> 01:35:58,604
but I think it is time Louis
would taking you home
895
01:35:58,604 --> 01:35:59,251
Already?
896
01:35:59,251 --> 01:36:02,248
You know he has very strict
instructions,isn't that so,Louis?
897
01:36:02,248 --> 01:36:03,100
I have Madame D'Oyly
898
01:36:03,714 --> 01:36:07,286
I suppose orders is orders,looking
forward to give some moan again soon
899
01:36:07,286 --> 01:36:09,565
-Good Bye Gilbert
-See you on Tuesday night
900
01:36:09,565 --> 01:36:12,125
Rather I wouldn't miss
an opening for the rouse
901
01:36:15,144 --> 01:36:17,168
Mr Gilbert,what do you
think of his appearance?
902
01:36:17,617 --> 01:36:19,686
His appearance,Mrs Carte,
is of no consequence
903
01:36:19,686 --> 01:36:23,232
what we couldn't stand would
be his disappearance
904
01:37:28,368 --> 01:37:29,905
I got this to a tee now
905
01:37:30,088 --> 01:37:30,901
Is Sullivan here?
906
01:37:30,901 --> 01:37:33,284
It would be wise for him not
to come before the finale
907
01:37:33,889 --> 01:37:36,417
Now let see,I should make my
entrance from the prompt side
908
01:37:36,417 --> 01:37:38,978
Sullivan from the op like
we always used to do
909
01:37:38,978 --> 01:37:40,553
when we had the full use of our legs
910
01:37:40,553 --> 01:37:42,806
Carte I want you to go in
centre through the players
911
01:37:42,806 --> 01:37:45,007
Yes,but I'd always have to
argue with the producer
912
01:37:45,007 --> 01:37:46,519
but shan't I look rather prominent?
913
01:37:46,519 --> 01:37:49,095
My dear fellow,that's the whole idea,
after all,you started it
914
01:37:49,095 --> 01:37:51,238
So I think you are fine
915
01:37:51,493 --> 01:37:52,468
-Where?
-Here
916
01:37:52,895 --> 01:37:54,647
Get in my dear fellow,Cary
917
01:37:55,195 --> 01:37:58,419
will you wheel Sir Arthur's chair in from
over there when I give the signal?
918
01:37:58,419 --> 01:38:00,623
Mrs Carte,you wheel in
D'Oyly from over there
919
01:38:00,623 --> 01:38:02,376
Right,positions,please
920
01:38:25,982 --> 01:38:29,137
Ready everybody,right,off we go
921
01:38:46,339 --> 01:38:47,481
Thank you Harry
922
01:38:51,256 --> 01:38:52,993
Probably we are getting due for an encore
923
01:38:53,489 --> 01:38:54,479
Sullivan is here
924
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:55,068
No,Sir
925
01:38:55,068 --> 01:38:56,059
What is it,Louis?
926
01:38:56,852 --> 01:38:58,734
We sent for the doctors at six,Madam
927
01:38:59,860 --> 01:39:01,492
He asked me to give this to Mr Gilbert
928
01:39:02,524 --> 01:39:03,369
He insisted
929
01:39:06,440 --> 01:39:10,753
My dear Gilbert,I feel the
disappointment so very much
930
01:39:10,753 --> 01:39:16,854
Good Luck to you all,three wheel chairs
would have looked wonderful from the front
931
01:39:18,851 --> 01:39:19,716
How is he,Louis?
932
01:42:57,311 --> 01:42:58,729
Are you sure you have everything?
933
01:43:02,577 --> 01:43:03,250
No,no
934
01:44:08,472 --> 01:44:09,526
Mr William Gilbert
935
01:44:10,992 --> 01:44:13,521
Barrister of Law,Justice of the Peace
936
01:44:13,521 --> 01:44:16,440
Deputy Lieutenant of
the County of Middlesex
937
01:44:16,440 --> 01:44:19,695
