No. Oh, well, I'm not going to be the one to show it to you. Oh, you're not.

Page eight, column two.

What Cuban band leader with the initials R .R. is making cat's eyes at his

dancing mouth?

There's more going on during that floor show than the script calls for.

Ha, ha, ha.

Oh, Wessel, that's just a publicity story.

It is, huh?

Sure. Ricky's press agent put that in. He did, huh?

Certainly. He has to keep Ricky's name before the public. He does, huh?

Ricky doesn't care anything about that new dancer of his.

Ha! What's she like?

Rosemary? Oh, she's a brunette, and she has a wonderful figure, and she's young

and... twice pretty.

Oh, Ethel, it's just a publicity story.

Ricky is trustworthy, fine, honest, and loyal.

Well, if he was brave, clean, and thrifty, he'd be a Boy Scout.

A cat's eye patrol, of course.

All right, Ethel, that's enough.

I'll be right down, Fred!

Look, honey, don't let this get you down.

I love Ricky. He's the most wonderful husband in the world and I trust him

implicitly. You just keep saying that.

It is, huh?

Sure, my press agent put that in.

He did, huh?

Well, he has to keep my name in front of the public.

He does, huh?

Why, honey, I don't care anything about a new dancer.

Ha!

Oh, honey.

You can trust me.

I can, huh?

Why, sure. I'm as faithful as an old dog.

Yeah, old...

i don't know

Oh, Rosemary.

Oh.

Honey, now, you've got to get used to those kind of stories. You know, they're

going to keep showing off as long as I'm in show business.

Well... Well, look, honey, why don't you come down to the club and see for

yourself? Oh, no, that's not necessary.

Well, if there's any doubt in your mind at all... Oh, no, none whatsoever.

Come on, honey, you've got to get dressed. You'll be late for rehearsal.

Okay, Rosemary.

What?

I meant Lucy.

Yeah.

Playing cards, arguing about the salary, reading the racing form.

Where is Rosemary? Is she late again?

No, no, she's getting into her costume for the Jezebel number. All right. Well,

let's take a letter A, eh?

And please, the first fellow who acts like he's playing in his sleep is going

get traded to Phil Spitalny.

Let's do it nice.

Put a little pepper.

Is this okay?

That's great if we don't get raided.

Listen, I want to, before we start on this number, I want to find out what

happens in the first part of the dance. You know, when you go around me in the

first part of the dance, how does it go?

Step, step, round.

And now what else? You go around here again. And then I come back here. And

you come back and you go again.

Bite. Oh, no.

Oh.

Gee, me and my big feet.

I'm sorry, kid.

Gee, I hope I can get a six bite.

The show?

Well, I tell you what, give it to me and I'll have it fixed for you. Oh, you're

a doll.

Well, I'll go and change before this thing tears some more. All right. All

right. Let's take something else which is gone, will you? Let's take

Cumbanchero, right? From the top.

Right, here we go.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. Something is wrong with the first chord there.

Wait a minute.

I've got an E natural there, Ricky.

E natural?

That should be E flat concert.

Let's try it. I think that's right.

Just the brass alone, huh?

That's it. That's it.

Now, everybody now.

All right? Here we go.

Here it is. Oh, put it in my coat pocket, will you?

Listen, get the digestible number now.

It is ready, all right?

Digestible number from the top.

I do to write all this. Well, I'm trying to make up for being so silly this

morning. Oh, honey, forget it. No, I was wrong to mistrust you and I'm ashamed

of myself.

Do you forgive me?

Well, I guess so.

Of course, I was terribly hurt.

How could you possibly think that I could look at anyone else but you? Oh,

on. You didn't give it a second thought all day.

I didn't, huh?

No, you didn't.

Listen, I can think of anything else.

You know where I spent all afternoon?

Where?

I went to the park.

Oh? Yeah.

I went to the park and I sat there and I fed the

pigeons and I brewed it.

You mean you didn't even go to rehearsal?

Uh -uh.

Is that what you meant to tell me?

Oh, that's not exactly what I meant to tell you. Oh, honey, then you do care

about me. Of course I do. You were so upset you couldn't even go to rehearsal.

That's right, honey.

Oh, baby.

Honey, let's eat. I'm hungry.

a rehearsal today.

Now, wait a minute, honey.

You may have been in the park all afternoon, but you weren't feeding the

pigeons.

Now, Lucy, if you would just give me a chance to explain.

All right.

All right. I want to be fair about this.

this afternoon and fed the pigeons.

No.

I went to rehearsal.

Yeah. And that's Rosemary's, uh, black lace, uh... Blue jean.

Yeah.

I tore it by mistake.

So she took it off and she put it in my pocket.

a cozy gathering.

Now look, honey, I went to rehearsal.

That's part of the costume that Rosemary wears in the Jezebel number. I stepped

on it. It tore. She took it off. She put it in my pocket and I brought it home

for you to fix.

Is that the truth, Ricky?

Cross my heart.

You do believe me, don't you, honey?

Of course, dear.

There is one other question I'd like to ask you, though. What's that?

Where are we?

I told you the truth and that's the end of it. No, it isn't. All right, if you

don't believe me, come down to the club tonight and see for yourself. You're

darn right I will. All right.

everything. No, honey, not a thing.

Well, I just quarreled with Ricky.

I don't blame you. Who does he think he is going around carrying girls' black

lace blue jeans?

Didn't hear a thing, huh?

Well, I might have caught a word here and there.

You gonna throw all that food out?

Well, Ricky doesn't want it. Do you want some?

Um, no, I'm not a bit hungry.

Well, I might just taste it to see how your recipe is.

What's your next move, honey?

I'm going down to that club tonight.

He's pretty clever asking you to come down to the club.

Huh? You're not dumb enough to fall for that, are you? I should say not.

Fall for what?

He knows you're coming. He's on his good behavior.

You're satisfied.

You come home, and he starts playing cat and mouse again.

Why, that big stinker.

Well, gee, what'll I do?

You're going to call him up and tell him you're not coming down.

Yeah.

Why?

Because you're going to sneak.

in there without his knowing it and watch the floor show and see what's

going on gee that's a wonderful idea i'll call right now oh wait a minute i

can't sneak into the club everybody knows me down there that won't work well

we'll think of something well what i don't know but you call him up and tell

you're not coming down all right just leave it to me okay

that I won't be able to come down to the club tonight.

That's right. Thank you.

I've got it. What?

Where's the best place to see what he's doing on the stage?

Where? Right on the stage.

Now, he does a number with Rosemary, doesn't he? Yeah. And they're dancing

girls.

Right over there is where the girls go onto the stage. Now make sure you get

girls out there in time for the Jezebel number. And tell Bill Kane, the

electrician, to be on his toes.

That's my favorite number, and I don't want to allow stop. Now get going.

Hey, wait a minute. There's something else I want to show you here.

Would be better had I never known a lover

such as you.

Forsaken dreams at all for the siren call

of your arm.

Like a demon, love, possess me, you.

Assess me constantly Whatever star is mine

That my fate's design Should be

Jezebel

Jezebel If

ever a devil was born Without

It was you, Jezebel.

It was you.
