But...

I sure hope I'll be able to walk

out of here without any trouble.

Me too.

Aw, that was swell.

- I want you to meet Gabe.

Who's Gabe?

- Why, he was Clem's other buddy.

There he is, right there.

Come on over.

You know, they called us

the Three Musketeers of the A.E.F.

Meet Selina Rogers, Clem's sister.

I'm mighty proud.

This is Miss Cynthenetta Webb.

Say, this buddy of yours is a sharp dancer.

He ought to be on the stage.

Ought to be on the stage?

Oh, by the way, Bill. I had the booking

office on the phone this afternoon.

Looks like you gonna play the Palace

week after next, boy.

Then you are on the stage.

- Why...

Yes, and he's his manager.

He's gonna put me on the stage too.

Really?

Well, I don't usually bother with amateurs...

...but in this case...

- Oh, Gabe, why don't you come up for air?

Now listen to him, the most

modest man in the whole world.

Oh, let him go on, Bill.

I'd like to hear more about you.

You only got to ask

anybody in show business.

Take Bud Williams...

He's crazy about Bill and me.

Then you must know Chick Bailey.

Chick Bailey.

Do we know Chick Bailey?

Why, we put him in show business.

We're just like brothers,

ain't we, Bill?

Sure.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Presenting Miss Selina Rogers...

...one of our newest stars.

Well, here's where we break

in the new song, Selina.

Okay.

Miss Webb, Bill Williamson...

...this is my partner, Chick Bailey.

- How do you do?

You know Gabe, of course.

- Gabe?

Come on.

- Who'd she say?

He heard her... Chick Bailey.

The guy he put in show business...

his brother.

But, honey, I can explain everything.

- Don't explain nothing to me.

I can see through it. The nerve.

- But, baby...

Trying to pull a trick like that.

- Well, honey, I was only...

And after all you've done for him.

Why, the ingratitude.

##

Trying to make out like

he didn't even recognize you.

# I may not be so very smart #

# As far as books are concerned #

# Where I leave off most people start #

# But here's what Ive just learned #

# There's no two ways about love #

# It's true what they say about love #

# Come what may, it's just that way #

# There's no two ways about love #

# When fate appears on the scene #

# There's no betwixt and between #

# There's no doubt You're in or out #

# There's no two ways about love #

# It comes right out of the blue #

# Like a cyclone #

# Sweeps you right off your feet #

# Don't try to cut any corners #

# You're heaven bound

on a one-way street #

# The schemes that you're dreamin' of #

# Fit into your world like a glove #

# Once you're hooked

your goose is cooked #

# There's no two ways about love #

# It comes right out of the blue #
