Charlie Chan at the Opera Page #4

Just a minute, you two.!

- I thought I told you to stay out of here.

- You did.

One of those boys that know

all the answers, huh? Come on.

- Take your hands off her.

- She's lucky I haven't got the bracelets on her.

But we haven't done anything.

We only wanted to see Madame Rochelle.

- It means everything to us.

- It means nothing to me. I've got my orders. Come on.

Now, I don't know how you got in,

but this is the way out.

- Why don't you let us explain?

- Please.

Officer, take 'em out of here.

And if I see you again tonight...

...you'll be doing your

explaining to a judge!

This place is driving me screwy!

Where's Regan and his pal,

um, Egg Foo Yong?

Here, please.

- I'm sure glad to see you, Chief.

- What's the trouble?

- In the first place...

- Have already heard of ghostly visitor from man who tend door.

- Oh.

- Have you searched the entire house?

We've been over this joint

so many times I could tear it down...

...and build it again

without misplacing a brick.

Perhaps maybe called on to do same.

Suppose we start

systematic investigation.

Look here, Whitely.

You can't talk to me that way.!

Barelli, I've warned you before

to keep away from my wife.

- This is the last time.

- But perhaps Lilli...

I'll see you about this later.

Now get out.

I want to talk to you.

- Gravelle!

- Yes.

L... I thought you were dead.

Dead? That's what everybody thinks.

What... What are you doing here?

Why shouldn't I be here?

I've work to do.

Gravelle sings tonight.

Don't move another step.

You want to tell them I'm here, but nothing

can stop Gravelle from singing tonight!

Carnival.! My greatest role.

The voice of Mephisto

coming from the flames.

The flames! That was it.

The flames all around me.

The theater on fire!

And someone locked Gravelle

in his dressing room.

Who?

You know. Tell me.

- Anita? Anita?

- If you tell them I've come back, I'll...

No. No, no, I won't.

Anita?

Come in.

Hello, dear.

This is Mr. Chan, a detective.

- Madame Barelli.

- So pleased.

And sorry to disturb.

What can I do for you, Mr. Chan?

In humble role of investigator...

...seek information concerning flowers...

...sent to you this afternoon

by honorable husband.

Flowers? You...

You must have felt very guilty

about something, Enrico.

Don't tell me you have

forgotten our wedding anniversary.

I had. And I didn't

receive the flowers.

Bouquet, like summer tourist

on wrong train...

...evidently suffer

switch in destination.

I can imagine what

their destination was.

You will have to excuse me, Mr. Chan.

I have a very difficult makeup.

Will question you later.

What's all this about?

Most mysterious.
