at the Club Pierre before 11:00.

Oh, I'm sorry, but our delivery truck

is on its last trip...

and won't be back

until after 11:
00.

How about a messenger boy?

It's impossible to guarantee delivery

this late on Christmas Eve.

- But to help you out, I'll take them.

- Oh, there you are.

- A dozen orchids, please.

- Lady, you're a lifesaver.

Here. Here's $5.00. Take your

boyfriend out and show him a good time.

Let's consider this

a personal favor.

Well, I can't leave town

indebted to a stranger.

- Would you like to see the floor show at the Club?

- I'd like to, but...

Give this card to Francois, and he'll

seat you at the entertainer's table.

Why, you're Mr. Reed!

- Uh-oh.

- I'm Linda Mason.

This is a part-time job.

Actually, I sing and dance.

- Mr. Reed, I want...

- I know, I know. You've studied dancing since you were a child.

You spent long, weary hours

in every agency on Broadway.

But just now I happen to be

catching a plane to Mi...

Once you told me I was no good,

I could get a job in a bargain basement

and like it.

Now look, honestly,

as soon as I get...

Oh, of course, sure.

You worked hard.

You want a chance. So what?

So I'm going to give it to you.

- A job? - Uh-huh. A friend of mine is

opening a place in Connecticut: Holiday Inn.

You take that card out there, tell him

I sent you and you'll be all set.

- Mr. Reed, how could I possibly thank you?

- Don't.

Just deliver those orchids

and let me catch my plane.

This table's reserved for the band.

Excuse me!

Fussy, isn't he?

I think I'll have

a bowl of coffee, huh?

- And the lady?

- Coffee.

- We seem to be on the 40-cent tour here.

- It is embarrassing.

- I'm Jim Hardy.

- Linda Mason.

- Got a friend in the show?

- I'm here at Mr. Reed's invitation.

Oh, Danny.

Then you know Ted Hanover?

Why, yes, naturally.

Oh, my. He's quite a man

with the ladies, that Ted.

Well, after all,

he's a very attractive man.

- Do you know him?

- Oh, yes.

As a matter of fact, I've been considering

Ted and his partner for my new club.

- Oh, you have a place?

- Oh, yes, yes.

I don't know though. His act might not

go so well in a place as large as mine.

Well, I've found that

the size of a place doesn't matter...

if one has sufficient personality.

That's what you've found, huh?

You in show business?

Oh... I'm Linda Mason.

Oh, Linda Mason!

# I could dance nightly #

# Just holding you tightly

my sweet #

# I could keep right on #

# Because you're

so light on your feet #

# You're easy to dance with #

# There is no doubt #

# In the way we stand out

in a crowd #

# Though it's called dancing #

# To me it's romancing out loud #
