Lady Be Good Page #2

---

You'll never know if an apple is ripe

Till you bite it

You'll never know if a fire is gonna burn

Till you light it

You'll never know

What it means to be blue

Till you've lost an old friend

You'll never know how long is your road

Till you've reached the end

You'll never know

How good a book may be

Till you've read it

You'll never know what a kind word can do

Till you've said it

You and I could find romance

But, darling

Till you take

That chance

Gosh, Dixie.

Gosh, Eddie.

By golly, that deserves a kiss.

Well, I wouldn't be surprised if Crane and

Donegan had a hit on their handkerchief.

And it was a hit too.

We went to work on another one,

which didn't come so easy, incidentally.

But we fought and wrestled it through,

and it was successful.

So then I thought it was safe for me

to quit my job in the restaurant.

Besides...

...Eddie felt that he could afford

to eat in a better place.

I see.

And this successful collaboration

led to your marriage.

Yes, Your Honor.

That, plus a little item called love.

On whose part?

Well, mine, I guess.

Ah. It didn't last?

I didn't say that.

Oh, one of those.

You love him, but...

Your Honor, may I interrupt once more?

Yes.

I would like to call a witness

if the court pleases.

Someone altogether impartial

who could clarify this portion of the case.

Yes. I think it's going to need

a little clarity. Go ahead.

That will be all for the time being,

Mrs. Crane.

Miss Marilyn Marsh, please.

Name, please?

- Marilyn Marsh.

Raise your right hand.

Do you swear to tell the truth,

nothing but the truth, so help you God?

- I do.

- Sit down, please.

Will you tell the court your occupation

or profession?

I'm a dancer.

You've appeared

in Broadway productions?

I have.

How long have you known

Mr. And Mrs. Crane?

Over three years. Ever since they started

writing songs together.

- Before they were married?

- Yes, sir.

They wrote the score for a show I was in,

and we became very close friends.

In fact, I think Dixie

is my very best friend.

What was the relationship between

Miss Donegan and Mr. Crane at that time?

Well, I'm not sure.

But in your opinion they seemed suited

to one another?

I thought the match

was made in heaven.

- But it didn't work out that way?

- No, sir.

I'm afraid they still make most

of the matches in Sweden.

Miss Marsh, please confine yourself

to less philosophical statements.

I'm sorry.

What I mean is, it was a flop.

In what way?

- Well...

- To sum it up definitely, Miss Marsh...

...what would say was the basic trouble

between Mr. And Mrs. Crane?

Why...

Why, I'd say Eddie went Park Avenue.

Park Avenue?

Can you explain in a little more detail
