Did you know that
Lawrence Cromwell...
the big theatrical producer,
is going to call on the president today?
Did I know it?
It's the talk of the White House.
- Lawrence Cromwell will be here at 11:30.
- I'm dying to see him.
Do you know that Lawrence Cromwell
is the authority on feminine beauty?
Lot of good that'll do you, Angie.
Yeah. I'm in the press room.
White House. Yeah.
Lawrence Cromwell.
Stand by for a statement.
After he sees the president.
Okay.
Well, I've been on the White House hitch
of the Secret Service...
and it strikes me...
this guy Cromwell's
getting a lot of attention.
Yeah. Big New York theatrical shot.
Okay.
You'd think it was Lindbergh just
getting back from Paris or something.
- You are Mr. Cromwell's-
- General scout, sir.
Dinwiddle is the name- Eustis Dinwiddle
of Fern Hall, Hertfordshire, England.
By the way, I hope you
gentlemen of the press...
won't find it necessary to refer to me
as Mr. Cromwell's general, uh-
In fact, right-hand man.
And to say I've discovered
some of his most brilliant talent.
That's a little bit of information
I always keep to myself.
Do all the big theatrical producers
have general scouts?
Oh, no, sir.
Just Mr. Cromwell and myself.
- We're different, you know.
- What are the duties of a general scout?
Just general-
G- G-General scouting.
Looking for lovely girls. Mr. Cromwell
is always in the market for lovely girls.
Who isn't?
Come on.
Look out for that plane, boys.
Watch out for that blade.
- How do you do, Mr. Cromwell?
- Good morning, gentlemen.
- Good morning.
- New York Times, Mr. Cromwell.
- What's the purpose of this visit?
- I have no statement to make.
Well, surely-
Mr. President, may I present
Mr. Lawrence Cromwell?
- Mr. President.
- Mr. Cromwell.
I have admired your
theatrical productions for years.
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Will you be seated, please?
Mr. Cromwell, our country is
bravely passing through a serious crisis.
Many of our people's affairs
are in the red...
and, figuratively,
their nerves are in the red.
But thanks to ingrained sturdiness...
their faith is not in the red.
Any people blessed
with a sense of humor...
can achieve success and victory.
We are endeavoring to pilot the ship past
the most treacherous of all rocks- fear.
The government now proposes
to dissolve that destructive rock...
in a gale oflaughter.
To that end, it has created
a new cabinet office-
that of secretary of amusement-
whose duty it shall be to amuse
and entertain the people...
to make them forget their troubles.
Mr. Cromwell...
we are drafting you and your
splendid talents into public service...
and it is with confidence
and pleasure that I offer you...
the cabinet position
of secretary of amusement.
Mr. President,
I find it somewhat difficult...
to express my feelings
at receiving this great honor.
I can only say that I accept
the portfolio of secretary of amusement...
and I shall do my best to merit
the confidence you are placing in me.
- Gentlemen.
- Secretary Cromwell...
these gentlemen of the press have been
informed of your appointment.
- Will you give them a moment?
- Yes. Of course.
What's your first move, Mr. Secretary?
Recruiting entertainers
from all parts of the world.
- How will entertainment be distributed?
Also include Hawaii, the Philippine Islands,
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
- What's Mr. Skimfiddle going to do?
- Mr. Dinwiddle...
will be invited to serve as general scout
for the Department of Amusement.
