I'm No Angel Page #7

Synopsis: The bold Tira works as dancing beauty and lion tamer at a fair. Out of an urgent need of money, she agrees to a risky new number: she'll put her head into a lion's muzzle! With this attraction the circus makes it to New York and Tira can persue her dearest occupation: flirting with rich men and accepting expensive presents. Among the guys she searches the love of her life, from whom she only knows from a fortune-teller that he'll be rich and have black hair. When she finally meets him, she becomes a victim of intrigue.

over an ordinary circus performer.

- Are we going, or aren't we?

- We certainly are.

Well, let's go.

Very well.

I suppose I must bow

before the general enthusiasm.

Beulah, that's another performance

under my belt and I still got the face.

Bless you, child,

I hopes you always keeps it.

It's my fortune.

When I was born with this face,

it was the same as striking oil.

Yes, ma'am.

You sure do believe in that horoscope,

don't you, Miss Tira?

It tells me everything.

I wouldn't make a move without it.

Yes, indeed, Tira enjoys meeting people.

You'll find her a regular fellow.

She has to be in the mood.

That is, her work is very strenuous

and stars will be temperamental at times.

- Yes, so I've heard.

- Yes.

Excuse me just a moment.

See who that is.

Evening, Mr. Madigan.

May I see Miss Tira, please?

Yes, sir.

Come in, Flea.

- Are you in the mood?

- For what?

Silk hats.

I can get that way.

Okay, Beulah.

Step right in, please.

Thank you.

Just make yourself right at home.

Miss Tira'll be out directly.

That's nice. Appreciate it.

Thank you.

Mr. And Mrs. Fletcher, Mr. And Mrs. Bond.

How do you do?

Mr. Lawrence and Miss Hatton.

Pleased to meet you, won't you sit down?

Thank you.

Won't you sit down?

If you don't mind,

I'd rather wait in the lounge.

Pleased to have met you, anyway.

Now, let's see, where were we?

I was about to say, we really came back

to tell you what a thrill you gave us.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked my act.

It is kind of unusual.

I don't see how you get up enough courage

to thrust your head in that beast's mouth.

I often wonder myself.

It seems terribly dangerous.

It is, that's why I have to carry a rod,

I mean a gun.

I had to shoot a lion once.

Really, was he mad?

He wasn't exactly pleased about it.

Would you be so good

as to autograph my programme?

Love to.

I should think

you dread every new performance.

It is kind of wearing on the nerves.

Of course, I don't intend to do this

all my life.

- Thanks.

- And mine?

I don't believe after all this excitement,

that you'd enjoy being idle.

I'll be doing something.

Say, I've got a great idea.

Why don't you have supper with us?

We'd love to have you.

Thanks, but I've previous engagements.

That's too bad.

- It's been such a great pleasure to meet you.

- Thank you.

Permit me to say,

I think you're perfectly wonderful.

Coming from a woman,

that's a big compliment.

Delighted.

It's been charming to meet you lovely people.

Have a lovely evening.

Good night.

Anyway, you've been awfully kind.

I'll never forget you.

No one ever does.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Swell person, isn't she?

Mae West

Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades, known for her lighthearted bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence. West was active in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress and writer in the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and television. The American Film Institute named her 15th among the greatest female stars of classic American cinema. Often using a husky contralto voice, West was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day and encountered many problems, especially censorship. She bucked the system, making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her cinematic career ended, she wrote books and plays and continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television and to record rock and roll albums. She was once asked about the various efforts to impede her career, to which she replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." more…
