The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle Page #4

- To each other.

- Cross in front.

- Cross in front.

- To the audience.

- To each other.

- Cross in front...

- That's enough.

We get two bows

we'll be doing very well.

If we keep on like that, it won't be long

before we can ask Mr. Fields for a trial.

Cuba pressed by Spain appeals

to Uncle Sam for aid.

Niagara Falls.

That's quite a place for...

I mean, that's quite a place

for people to go.

Oh, you mean on honeymoons?

Yeah.

Devil's Island. That's interesting too.

- Irene.

- Yes?

We've only known each other

about three months.

Irene.

Irene, have you seen my copy of Vogue?

Oh, here it is, Mother.

- Anything yet?

- Not yet.

Well, I don't wanna interrupt anything.

You were saying that we've known

each other for nearly three months.

Yes, you see my one aim in life...

...has always been

to keep from getting involved.

"Vernon don't get involved,"

I've always said.

I mean I used to say.

Well, what do you say now?

Well, you know, I think

when people dance well together...

...it's because they're sympathetic

to each other.

In fact, that's part

of what I was getting at.

Dancing brings people

closer together.

I don't mean only closer together...

Oh, good evening, darling.

- Good evening, Vernon.

- Good evening, sir.

- Hello, Dad.

- Anything happened while I was out?

- Everybody finished with the paper?

- Oh, I'll get it for you, Dad.

Oh, thank you.

Some new records I brought.

Somebody flying an airship

across the English Channel.

Must have been in a hurry.

Dr. Foote, Mrs. Foote wants

to see you right away.

Excuse me.

- Can't you leave them alone?

- I've been leaving them alone all winter.

Aren't we ever going to use

that parlor again?

Do you like this tune?

Only when you're in my arms

I can reach up to heaven

And pluck out a star from the blue

It's true

But only when you're in my arms

I can live without riches

And still have a million or two

It's true

But only when you're in my arms

Though I'm ambitious

My wishes

Have always been simple and few

Give me the moonlight

The music

And darling an armful of you

I can see myself doing

The things that I never could do

It's true

But only when you're in my arms

Irene, look, I'm terribly in love with you.

I never thought I'd fall in love

but I have, and I'm glad I have.

And will you please marry me?

Yes.

- I'm in love with you too.

- You...

Well...

...thanks.

Walter.

- Walter, we're going to be married.

- Are you surprised?

Gee, whiz.

Well, where do we go on the honeymoon?

Dr. Foote, you can start using

the parlor again.

Vernon, I'm scared.

Now, now, sweetheart,

that's no way to talk.

I don't feel so rosy myself.
