RATHER DARING, TOO.

I'M SURE MADAME DUBONNE WILL BE FURIOUS.

OH, NOT SHE.

I BET YOU:

SHE'LL TURN UP

IN SOMETHING:

FRIGHTFULLY SHOCKING!

(GIGGLING)

NOT DETHRILL, THE FAMOUS

MOVIE DIRECTOR!

HOW'D I KNOW WHAT SOR OF A THRILL HE IS?

LOOK FOR YOURSELF!

HE'S IN THE STAGE BOX.

WHY DIDN' YOU SAY SO?

WOMAN ON STAGE:

...ANYONE WHO ASKS ME!

YES! IT'S HIM.

WORD'S GOT ABOUT. MY

REPUTATION WILL BE MADE!

NO. WE'LL BE RUINED.

THAT GIRL!

CHORUS ON STAGE:

OOH, ISN'T SHE THE LIMIT!

THAT GIRL.

SHE CAN'T GO ON.

WE MUST STOP HER!

HE DON'T THINK

I'M ANY GOOD.

I CAN'T GO ON NOW.

OH, RING DOWN

THE CURTAIN.

WE'LL SEND THE

AUDIENCE HOME.

THEN I'LL GO AND REFUND

THE MONEY, SHALL I?

SPENDTHRIFT.

ACROSS THE TENNIS COURT.

CHORUS:
POLLY BROWNE?

YES, AND SHE'S CARRYING

NOT THE PALACE!

POLLY.

LISTEN TO ME.

THE CAREERS AND LIVES OF

ALL THESE BOYS AND GIRLS

ARE DEPENDING ON YOU.

I'M NOT ASKING

BUT DO IT FOR THEM.

WHO'S GOING...

AS PIERROT?
