The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle Page #2

- That was fine.

Yes, sir that certainly was fine.

Thanks very much.

Do you really mean it

or you're just saying it?

No, really, I mean, you gave it quite

a professional touch... here and there.

Here and there?

I mean everywhere.

It was very nice.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

you see my train...

Oh, I see.

I'm sorry, I wish I can stay

and see it again.

- But I'm afraid...

- You afraid to see it again?

- Not at all.

- You don't wanna see it again?

- What the young man means is that...

- Hubert...

...let Mr. Castle decide.

- I would like to, but I must go.

- You'd like to see it again?

- Walter, he didn't say that.

- The man said...

- No, he didn't.

- I'd like to see it again, except my train...

- No trouble at all.

Now Walter,

not unless Mr. Castle wants to.

- I knew he didn't.

- I do.

Well, all right.

There's a possibility

you may catch the 8:15.

I understand every one of your criticisms,

except for one you sort of mumble.

Oh, that one.

- What does "ham" mean?

- That's just an expression.

Well, what does it mean?

In the theater we speak

of certain actors as hams.

Well, that makes me feel

so professional.

- Am I a real ham?

- Well, yes you're a little ham.

Oh, wonderful.

And after the way we ran.

Come Josephine

In my flying machine

Going up all on

Goodbye

Come Josephine

In my flying machine

Going up she goes

Up she goes

Balance yourself like

A bird on a beam

In the air she goes

There she goes

Up, up a little bit higher

Oh, my moon is on fire

Come Josephine

In my flying machine

Going up

All on

Goodbye

- Come on.

- Come on.

Go it, Vernon.

You didn't tell me

you can dance like that.

- You're marvelous.

- Thanks.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

All aboard. Go ahead, kiss her.

Next Sunday is a long way off.

Next Sunday? Oh, yeah.

All aboard.

Hurry up, bashful.

Oh, you beautiful doll

You great big beautiful doll

Let me put my arms about you

I could never live without you

Oh, you beautiful doll

You great big beautiful doll

If you ever leave me

How my heart would ache

I want to hug you

But I fear you'd break

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, you beautiful doll

- Oh, Irene, I can hardly wait.

- Does he dance soon?

Oh, here he is.

You see he's in the next scene

and he plays with the star.

The Barber Lew Fields

The Customer Vernon Castle.

- My aunt once knew an opera singer.

- Did she?

- Wait till you see Vernon dance.

- Isn't it wicked?

I mean knowing an actor.

- He's coming down the stairs now.

- Are you sure?

Leave him to me.

Leave him to me.

I'll show him

for insulting my daughter.

- Say something.

- L...

That's real ham comedy.

- What did you say?

- Ham.

- Where?

- You're looking at two of the best...
