The Eddy Duchin Story Page #2

What do you intend to do

in the meantime?

- Get a job in a drugstore.

- Playing the piano?

No, I'm a druggist.

My prof at the Massachusetts

School of Pharmacy...

he used to play the ukulele, so

the two of us, we'd get together and-

- Maybe I talk too much, huh?

- Maybe.

Lou, be sure to get the arrangements

for " Lucky Lindy. "

We're gonna have a lot

of requests for that tune.

- He's captured the world's imagination.

- Play some more. Go on, play.

- Mr. Reisman.

- Good evening, Miss Oelrichs.

Leo, I want you to do

something for me.

Some special numbers you

want me to play tonight?

No, it's something else.

We'll keep your music going tonight

without intermission.

Oh, my dear, I can't.

But you can if you hire

an extra piano player.

Did you have anyone

special in mind?

You know very well I had

someone special in mind.

- If he's not good enough-

- He's good enough.

- Then you'll do it?

- Yes.

You're an angel.

Go see Mr. Reisman.

You've got a job.

- I'm late.

- What?

Ajob.

I beg your pardon, miss.

What did you say?

Be sure you play well.

- Thank you, Miss-

- Oelrichs. Marjorie Oelrichs.

Thank you, Miss Oelrichs.

Say, druggist, do you have

a prescription for a tuxedo?

Is it time?

Give me a hand here, will you?

Thank you.

No, no.

Oh, I can button it.

How much longer?

Okay, ready now? Good.

Oh, you want me to sit.

Thanks, Mr. Sherwood.

- All right, kid, you're on.

- Yes, sir.

- Oh, and, Eddy-

- Yes, sir?

Remember, this is just

intermission music. Play soft.

We don't want to disturb

their eating and drinking.

- Yes, sir.

- Well, go ahead. You're on, you're on.

Treat the tuxedo gently, will you?

It's an old friend.

Uncle Sherm, want to dance again?

- Let's. Come on.

- Don't you ever get tired? All right.

Joan, Harry. Come on, dance.

Come on.

It's the first time they've

ever danced to just a piano.

- Maybe I'd better sell my fiddle.

- Maybe you'd better.

Say, there's Jimmy Walker.

Call the boys.

Wait a minute.

What did I do wrong?

His Honor the mayor is coming in.

Jimmy Walker?

They'll be running in

that good, old-fashioned way

Though my hair be old and gray

Get off the stage.

- That's Jimmy Walker!

- Yes, I know. Get off the stage.

As they do in May

They'll be running in December

As they do in May

They'll be running in

that good, old-fashioned way

When my hair is old and gray

That's a great number.

The mayor wrote it, you know.

Yes, I know.

Hello again.

Miss-

This is the weirdest set of books

I have ever looked at.

I'm a decorator, not a bookkeeper.

Honestly!

What good is it to have one of the great

bankers of the world for an uncle...

when he can't even
