Rose of Washington Square Page #3

Synopsis: New York city in the 1920s: a singer struggles to keep her boyfriend from trouble. When she makes it to Ziegfeld, he heads for five years in jail. Lots of Faye and Jolson singing. The story is so close to the true story of Fanny Brice and Nicky Arnstein (Jules W. Arndt Stein) that he sued the studio in a case that was quickly settled out of court in his favor.

- Oh, uh, Mr. Clinton checked out.

Checked out?

Are you sure?

Yes, about, uh,

00 this morning.

Well, did he leave

any message for me?

No.

No, there's nothing here.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot.

But, look, I've never

been on without her.

We're a two act, me and her,

and that's the way we've been rehearsing.

Now, listen.

She couldn't get back here, could she?

- I don't think so.

- So what are you gonna do...

pass up the greatest break

you've ever had in your life?

But look. Couldnt you make it

next Sunday night? Huh?

No, we couldn't. So get this.

Out there listening to you...

will be Ziegfeld, Dillingham

and the biggest bookers in New York.

- I know, I know.

- You know, huh?

- Yeah.

- Well, then get this. If you flop on me...

I give you my word

I'll come out on that stage...

and I'll break

every bone in your body.

Get that?

Good luck. Get out there and kill 'em.
