start we now have...

only emphasizes the importance

of teamwork and hard work.

Now, remember, the government

has appropriated 100 million dollars...

and is allowing 12 months in which

the Department of Amusement...

may prove its right

to permanency.

Now, gentlemen,

this is a pretty tough job...

for there's no telling where

undiscovered talent and genius may appear.

Your departments will be flooded

with applicants...

and you must see them all,

but send only the cream of the lot to me.

Unfortunately,

I can't see them all.

- Thank you. That's all. Miss, uh-

- Adams.

Yes, I want to see you a moment please.

Hello?

Check this carefully, will you?

"West Coast. Zone 36.

"One dozen jazz bands.

One gross chorus girls.

"One-sixth of a dozen

masters of ceremony.

"Zone 18, girl singers:

blues singers, two dozen, torch singers.

Boop-boop-a-doop singers- none. "

Okay. Now, Miss Monroe-

- Uh, Adams.

- Oh, yeah. Step here, will you, please?

Something I want to show you.

There's one phase of this amusement campaign

which I think you oughta understand.

The zones in-

You're beautiful.

Of course I'm not.

- What's that?

- I said I'm not beautiful.

Young woman, you're talking

to Lawrence Cromwell-

Lawrence Cromwell, the world's

authority on feminine beauty and charm.

Do you mean to stand there and question

my judgment on the subject of beauty?

- Do you?

- Oh, no. No. I was-

But you did question it.

Now you listen to me.

When Lawrence Cromwell says

a girl's beautiful, she's beautiful.

Oh, the very idea.

I demand an apology.

Your personality definitely puts you

in Class 10-A, Department "B"...

with a double-X rating

in my card index system.

And my system is the preeminent

beauty catalog of today.

Height, 5'4". Weight, 116.

Bust, 34. Waist, 26.

Hips, 36. Calf, 12 and 1 y2.

Ankles, 7.

Questioning my judgment.

That is good.

I'm really awfully sorry, Mr. Cromwell.

Never mind. Never mind.

Just let it be a lesson to you.

Get my New York office, please.

You're so very busy, Mr. Cromwell.

Don't you think-

- Oh, no. Stay where you are.

I haven't a thing to do.

Yes. Yes, of course

I want London, England.

Our European agent, Morris Feinberg.

Savoy Hotel. Okay.

- Yes. Now, Miss Jefferson, I'll

tell you what I want- - Adams.

Oh, yes.

- How do you like it here?

- Oh, very much.

It's all so interesting.

I think it's going to be much more

interesting now that you're here.

Oh, I mean, uh-

I mean, with the children and all that.

- You love children, don't you?

- Yes. I'm crazy about them.

Mm. So am I.

I used to be one myself.

- You rang, Mr. Secretary?

- Note to all departments:
