a living between pictures.

- Oh, I see.

- Say, you're directing a picture over...

...at Warner Bros.

- That's right, Joe.

You think there might be something there

that I can play?

Here's the man to ask, Joe.

This is my producer, Mark Hellinger.

- Joe Simpson.

- Hello, Joe.

Mr. Hellinger, you really ought to use me,

Mr. Hellinger.

- I've been reading your stories for years.

- Well, that makes two of us.

I'll tell you what you do.

Give me a ring at the studio.

Would 6:
00 be too early?

I don't get in till 9.

I'll hold the wire.

- See you later, Joe.

- So long, Joe.

That's a funny guy. Clean him up

and he's a ringer for Eddie Cantor.

That's his trouble, Mark.

I had him play a small part

in a dramatic scene...

...and the audience died laughing.

I had to shoot the thing over without him.

That's why nobody wants to use him.

Pretty rough deal. Guy can't get a break

because he looks too much like a star.

Yeah. That's a new way

of becoming a failure.

- Hi, Pete.

Hi, Tommy.

- The Cantor show?

- Yeah.

- What time is it?

- Oh, about 5:
27.

- What's all the excitement about?

- Something big, Pete. Big.

And when Tommy Randolph

says big, it's big.

Say, this is too much.

Hey, what's the idea, Joe?

Tommy, I thought you were a pal of mine.

I can't stand that popeyed baboon.

Why don't you relax?

Aren't you imposing a little?

Don't be impatient, folks.

How about it? Show the little lady

all the homes of the movie stars.

I'm sorry. I got an hour.

I gotta get back to my ship.

What better way can you spend

your last hour than a bus ride?

Are you kidding?

Listen, we've been here for two hours.

When are you going to...?

I hope you'll be listening again

next Wednesday.

Until then, ladies and gentlemen...

...this is Eddie Cantor

saying good night, everybody.

Come on, Dinah, John.

John.

I can think only of that Dinah Shore.

We must get her for the benefit.

When I am conducting her

with my orchestra...

...oh, boy, oh, boy,

what effects I will get.

Orchestra and pia... No, no, no.

- We will talk to her.

- Here.

- To Dinah Shore?

- Yes.

- Are you crazy?

- Why?

That's not the way to get Dinah.

If you wanna get Dinah...

...you don't talk to Dinah Shore.

If I want Dinah Shore,

I don't talk to Dinah?

No, no, no.

You talk to Eddie Cantor.

He's got her under exclusive contract.

That is we should talk to Eddie Cantor,

but we won't.

- Break it. You're double-park...

- Leave.

We should talk to Cantor

but we won't?

No, because if we talk to Cantor now,

he'll want to be in the benefit.

- Oh, that's bad?

- We don't want him in the benefit.

We do want Dinah Shore.

However, if we talk to Cantor
