The Saxon Charm Page #3

I wanted to talk you about.

You realize that no play

ever reaches the stage ..

In the form in which it

was originally written.

Denunciation scene?

I expect you to work closely with me on

changes we think are necessary. Agreed?

Of course. I'll appreciate

the opportunity to learn.

You know Dolly is

going to love this play.

She is nuts about anything

with a problem in it.

It's going to be a great

experience for both of us.

For you, having the theater revealed as

the bewitching task mistress she is.

And for me, the honor of presenting this

fine, fresh talent that you possess.

Say, what about casting?

You think we can get Van Johnson?

Slave of the money-temples! We cast

when the script is right and not before.

Well, I didn't know. You know, Dolly is

higher than a kite about Van Johnson.

Better go and get your Dolly and

meet us at Schindler's at 8 o'clock.

Sure, sure. We'll be on time.

Goodbye, goodbye.

You'd better telephone your Janet.

How did you know her name?

The little matter of inquiring.

Tell her that Alma will

pick her up at 7:30.

Alma?

Alma. Alma Wragge. W R A G G E.

A charming girl and a singer. Don't ask

me why she never changed her name.

I'd better pick her up myself.

I think she'd prefer that.

Get Mrs Busch for Mr Busch.

Now, wait ..

We can stay here and

discuss the script .. oh.

Yes, I must remember to order

some flowers for the ladies.

What colour is Janet's hair?

Red .. brown eyes.

Zack's Dolly on the other hand

will be a platinum blond.

She will require a large orchid.

An orchid-coloured orchid.

My, if only the problems of life

were as simple as that, huh?

Suppose Dolly is a brunette?

There is nothing to be gained

in speculating about miracles.

[ Buzzer ]

That will be Janet.

I owe you fifty cents.

Oh no thank you. That's for Miss Wragge.

Thank you Mrs Humber.

And Mr Humber.

When you've known

Matt Saxon as long as I have.

You will realize a sandwich couldn't

possibly interfere with a dinner date.

Well he said eight o'clock.

It's almost half past.

I can't understand Eric's being late.

He's always on time.

But tonight, he's with Matt Saxon.

Janet, from now on life will be one long

series of "it never happened before's."

Hey, Dolly. There's our pal, the guy

that writes the column in The Mirror.

Oh yes, him .. I've been in

his column three times.

Can you imagine?

Unimportant little me.

I think we ought to go over and

say hello. Would you excuse us?

Certainly. Business before pleasure.

What is it about that female

that you and I don't like?

Dolly isn't what's bothering me.

It's just, when Eric asks me to be here.

Janet.

Take a good, long look
