The best actress of all time.

No role is too difficult,

every triumph adds up to an already glorious career.

A stunning beauty,

an art that magically moves millions.

The Heads of State of Europe

in rivalry to pay their respects.

Every new caprice of clothing is accepted by the world,

as a fashion decree.

Rivals that come to mock, remain but to worship.

The most expensive dishes to seduce a whimsical appetite.

Power and wealth at your fingertips, but with a heart that

remain faithful to the choices of a humble youth.

While he fervently devotes his life to preserving

the natural palates, though exquisite of it.

There is one, but only one thing I desire;

A slice of wheat cake!

For those who bring glamor to life;

For those whose beauty is greater than any other woman;

For those who command our smiles,

our tears, our dreams... For the actresses!

Hang on!

You forgot that there are no other actresses in the world, only me!

Look... I'm Salome!

Hey, Jenny! Wake up!

Gloria Swanson as Jenny Hagen,

whose dreams are of triumph as an actress

and whose life was made of long hours,

badly paid at a cheap restaurant.

Dreamy, do not leave customers waiting!

Mrs. Wagner, the box.

Tiny, the working daughter.

Look here, what's this? Glass beads in my soup.

What did you expect for a nickel? Diamonds?

Lord, I would not lose my accounts for.

Nothing in the world, Orme gave them to me!

For Wagner, Orme Wilson was only a widower showing himself;

To Jenny he was a genius.

Orme was the object of Jenny's secret worship. Someday I would wait for

a smile of his. So far, the best he could get was a laugh.

Sister, give us another piece of wheat cake.

Here, small; Stay with the grill while preparing the dough.

A hungry crowd, trying to feed themselves

before the whistle blows from the factory.

I just did it to be funny.

Only for this, you will not get paid this week either!

All Jenny's ambitions were for Orme...

have your own restaurant... have him as your boss!

Orme worshiped all the actresses...

with enormous fervor from a young man who has never met an actress before.

Yes, little...?

Where are your clothes to wash?

Tell the laundry to send the bill. I have not received it for 2 months.

The actresses are true companions.

There is no falsehood in them.

They know a thing or two!

It's the show boat! Maybe they have new actresses this season!

Hey, little one; Wagner wants me to peel the peas.

Be a good girl and help me.

This is the reason why Orme never received the laundry bill.

Flea, it must be great to be an actress...

any guy puts his picture on the wall... and runs to find you.

Dear Ms. Hagen,

We have good news for you! You'll soon be an actress!

When we received five ($ 5.00) dollars,

and knowing that you passed our final test.

We will be sending you a diploma,

showing that you are a qualified actress.

What do you think he'll say when he finds out I'm an actress too?

Think about it, Flea! Only five dollars...

and we'll have a degree that will prove to him!

For forty seasons, the Floating Water Queen Theater,

performing performances all over the Ohio River,

its actors changing constantly and always.

Waldo Buck, owner and manager, thought well about his cast...

but a little better about your fucking drum.

Now the big surprise... Our new lead actress.

MS. Lillian Lyons, straight from New York, London and Paris!

MS. Lillian Lyons.

Among boys, meet Ms. Lyons.

While Orme was admiring the acts of the concert boat,

Jenny was getting ready to take her place.

Among the great exponents of theatrical art.

Final test.

Standing, facing a mirror, express expressions: Happy wife.

Your spouse enters the room.

You show fear and start crying.

He tells you he's leaving her forever.

You throw yourself against the door.

You scream "abandoned - abandoned "then faints.

Flea!!

I think we have to wait a little longer for that diploma.

Orme's shirt cost two dollars...

What Jenny replaced in her place cost five dollars.

Yes, little one. Are my clothes here?

See, this laundry makes my old shirts look new,

You should take your clothes there, little one.

Where are you going, Orme?

Oh, I have a date... with the main actress of the show.

You should see her, she looks like a duchess!

You poor thing. I could have broken it myself!

Tell Orme that there is an unaccompanied lady. He just came in.

You're as clumsy as a left-handed shoemaker!

Did you tell Mr. Orme that I'm not used to waiting?

Jenny, you told Orme that the lady.

Are you tired of being alone?

Orme!

I cut my finger.

Poor girl, wipe this wound with water.

I can not peel the peas now, You'll have to help me.

Rays! Just when I had a date, too...

Forgive me for making you wait, but I was stuck on something important.

She was angry because you can not keep the date?

Oh, it does not matter. I'll see you tomorrow anyway.

Do you know what that means? Two peas in a pod?

Courtship!

Orme, are you going to the picnic? I think we can have fun!

Yes, I'm going to have fun...

Cooking wheat cakes and avoiding them to burn.

I'll be there to help you.

You're a good helper.

Jenny... I bet you cut your finger on purpose.

It's all about love and war.

Jenny is not ready to take lessons from the enemy...

On the day of New Martinsville's annual grand picnic,

a glance at the people present convinced

to Orme that he would "have fun".

Wagner Meals.

God damn it, little one! You look like an accident about to happen!

I just did it to be funny.

You're as funny as a murder.

If that actress can do it, I will not because I can not.

But you're not an actress... I do not like you that way.

Among the actresses, two is good day... but three is good night!

This is Jenny Hagen, the best little waitress in my restaurant.

Yes... Orme and I work in the same place.

It is not my habit to meet waitresses.

Oh I see... she eats on automatic devices.

I did not come here to be insulted.

Come in and buy your tickets, Do not be left behind, come here.

The same old Buck ever.

He cares more about this drum

than most men in their wives.

Have you ever loved anything more than anything else in the world?

Yes, my Orme.

My arm, no! My Orme!

Does he have a crush on actresses?

Yes, of course.

I'm an actress too, just never had a chance to show it.

Look, I got an idea!

If you want to get on the stage, I'll put you there...

but you should keep this as a secret.

A few days later.

All New Martinsville was bragging about Buck's announcement.

Meet her in Rio.

Water Queen Floating Theater.

First appearance of his own local star.

Who is she? Come and see August 26.

We're looking pretty good these past few days, Jenny!

Wonder who this local star might be?

I have a box for Saturday night, for me and you small.

Excuse me, but I have an appointment on Saturday night.

This commitment is with whom?

It's a secret, but you'll know.

Saturday night,

The whole town went to check who the mysterious local star is.

A tribute to Buck's propaganda,

received a tour from another city.

A photo of the little EVA,

sold to you by herself, only for ten cents!

To the stage, folks!

Beautiful, but I have a better idea.

You will wear this stocking on your head and will be the celebrated actress,

the Masked Wonder.

But I wish Orme saw me!

No, first comes the boxing match.

You will let the other lady knock you out,

She will not hurt you, so you'll lift.

He will remove his mask and recite a text.

Orme tries to figure out where Jenny is and more,

who would have brought her here.

Sir, I do not want to fight her. She will kill me!

Surely she understands.

She will let you knock her out in the first round.

First, let me introduce you

the best interpreters of the world of the piece "The hut of the Father Tomas".

Now, Ladies and Gentlemen, before the regular performance begins,

I have a big surprise for you...

A girls' boxing match, in which the two incomparable

will face in an exciting fight in pursuit of athletic supremacy.

I present Ohio River champion Kid Bellows.

I introduce the local challenger, the Wonder Masquerade...

Shoot her out the window... and do not open the window!

Jenny!

The day is over, the darkness has fallen from the wings of the night...

I see the lights of the village glowing

through the rain and mist,

and a feeling of sadness touches me.

That my soul can not resist.

I see the lights of the village...

Orme! Do not let her kill me!

Jenny... What are you doing on stage?

I just did it to be funny.

Shoot her out the window... and do not open the window!

What's the matter with you? This is a worthy profession!

Where is she?

If I put my hand on it...

I'll show her that she can not fool me!

I did everything I could... There is no way, no one loves me...

My God, she jumped into the river!

She jumped in the river... Man overboard!

Jenny!

Here I am.

Why did you do that?

Because I thought you liked actresses!

You fool, did you think I would marry an actress?

Big chance you had, you hick!

You think this is the way to treat me, Jenny.

When I'm saving money,

so we get married and we can have a restaurant wagon of ours?

You do not care about me.

Shut up, little one! I love you!

Oh Lord, give strength to your pants.

Waldo Buck's prayer was answered, as was Jenny's.

The entrance of actresses is not allowed.
