00:00♪
00:30Well, ladies, with such a disappointing attendance at our luncheon,
00:35I'm sure you'll agree that something should be done.
00:38This is no way to raise funds for the community center.
00:42It's a shame.
00:44Mrs. Goldberg prepared for 25 people and only 12 came.
00:49Molly's here.
00:51Excuse me, ladies.
00:52Molly, what should I do with all the chicken salad that was left over?
00:56Put it in a bowl.
00:58Excuse me.
01:00Well, it's up to you, Mrs. Carey.
01:02You're the president.
01:03I'm always willing to listen to suggestions.
01:06Excuse me, my telephone.
01:08I'll take it.
01:09I'll get it.
01:10I got it.
01:12Hello?
01:14Oh, yes, Mrs. Fuller.
01:16Well, we all missed you at our luncheon this afternoon.
01:21Hello?
01:22Have you got a cold?
01:25Oh, that's all right.
01:26No apology necessary.
01:28But we do have to raise funds.
01:31Well, that's what we're discussing with our dear president at the moment.
01:36Well, take care of your cold.
01:39Yes.
01:40Bye.
01:43She has a cold.
01:45She hasn't got a cold.
01:47She's probably crying.
01:49Crying?
01:50Why?
01:51What happened?
01:52Some people cry when they're happy.
01:55I'll bet she's done it again.
01:58Mrs. Peterson, if you're telling me her daughter Myra's engagement is broken again,
02:03I'll just die right here where I'm sitting.
02:06What's wrong with her?
02:07This is the third broken engagement.
02:10Her mother, that's what's wrong with her.
02:12Well, she'll find a husband.
02:14There's always someone for everybody.
02:17Myra isn't as young as she used to be.
02:20Please, ladies, let's not talk about Myra anymore.
02:23Let's get back to the agenda.
02:25Now, is it your opinion that we should stop these revolving luncheons?
02:30I think they should be discontinued for many reasons.
02:33First, the attendance is poor.
02:35And second, I can't afford to throw away chicken salad.
02:39And besides, there's no fun at the meetings anymore.
02:42You're the president, Mrs. Terry.
02:44What do you suggest?
02:46If you know a better way to raise funds, I'm willing.
02:49Suggestions are always in order.
02:51Well, I have a suggestion.
02:53Oh, please, Mrs. Goldberg.
02:55Well, when I used to live in the Bronx, and why,
02:58we used to put on our own play.
03:00And believe me, we raised plenty of funds.
03:04And you don't have to be a Sarah Bernhardt,
03:06and you don't have to be a William Shakespeare, not neither.
03:09We once even put on a musical.
03:11And we didn't have Caruso's or Tazzini's.
03:13And everybody sang, and a good time was had by all.
03:16Sounds wonderful.
03:17What musical?
03:18Well, we once put on a homemade play to mouth.
03:21Oh, play to mouth.
03:22Wonderful, with the waltzes.
03:24Yes, of course.
03:25Sounds as if it might be a lot of fun.
03:27I'm a poet.
03:28Oh, you've got to go already.
03:29Well, listen, I'll tell you what I'll do, girls.
03:31I'll gather together all the information.
03:32I'll look up my old minutes.
03:34We'll call a meeting, and then we'll proceed.
03:36Toodle-oo.
03:39Roll the moon.
03:41Myra Fuller plays the piano.
03:43She's going to be married, no?
03:45She does or she doesn't?
03:46She does.
03:47Good.
03:48Why good?
03:49It'll help take her head off.
03:50From what?
03:51From her broken engagement.
03:53Again?
03:55Molly, don't stop.
04:01Uncle David, do you know this one?
04:03What a bloomer.
04:04Ha, ha, ha.
04:05Full of humor.
04:06Ha, ha, ha.
04:07Very, very.
04:08Ha, ha, ha.
04:09Merry, merry.
04:10Ha, ha, ha.
04:11Ha, ha, ha.
04:12Ha, ha, ha.
04:13Ha, ha, ha.
04:14Ha, ha, ha.
04:15Jake, I thought you were going to the movies tonight.
04:20What made you think so?
04:22Jake, all the girls that are volunteering are coming over
04:25tonight to try out their voices.
04:27We re-engage Mrs. Strunzel, the conductor, to conduct us.
04:30And the girls will not sing.
04:32They'll be bashful in your presence.
04:33I'll stay in the dining room so I won't be in their presence.
04:36Ma, is it definite that you're going to put on the show?
04:39Of course it's definite.
04:40The tickets are ready by the princess.
04:42The theater we have.
04:43The date we know.
04:44What do you mean?
04:45We're even looking into the costumes already.
04:47Everything is settled but the singers.
04:49Who's going to be the prima donna?
04:51You, Molly.
04:52If I had a voice, I would sing.
04:54Why not?
04:55So who in your chapter, dear, has a voice?
04:57Everybody has a voice.
04:59Rosalind, you didn't lay out the fruit yet.
05:01I'll get it.
05:03Molly, dear, maybe you have a part for me in the opera.
05:08Wait, David, please.
05:12Jake, please oblige me and go to the movies tonight
05:15and take David with you.
05:17Molly, darling, us you won't get rid of.
05:20Not tonight, darling.
05:22Jake, I beseech you.
05:24Don't beseech me, darling.
05:26Because I won't step a foot out of the house tonight.
05:29Jake, please.
05:31Good evening.
05:32Good evening.
05:33Good evening.
05:34Come in.
05:35Come in.
05:36I'd like to present my husband, Mr. Goldberg.
05:38How do you do, Mr. Strasser?
05:39How do you do?
05:40And then my uncle David.
05:41Mr. Romaine.
05:42How do you do?
05:43How do you do?
05:44And this is the gentleman that's going to conduct us tonight.
05:47Mrs. Goldberg, I am honored.
05:49Where is the piano?
05:51Oh, right there.
05:52We just had it tuned, Mr. Strasser.
05:56This is a very fine instrument.
05:58Black and white keys and octaves.
06:02Black and white keys.
06:03And octaves.
06:04Jake, you are not remaining home tonight.
06:07I am very definitely remaining.
06:09Oh, you're very definitely remaining home, Jake.
06:12Then in the dining room, please.
06:15David, do you want the props?
06:18One minute.
06:23Oh, hello, Myra.
06:25Come in.
06:26Come in.
06:27Put yourself down.
06:28Hello, Mr. Goldberg.
06:29Hello, Myra.
06:30Hello.
06:31Mr. Strasser, this is Myra Fuller.
06:32How do you do?
06:33Hello, Mr. Strasser.
06:34Myra's going to assist with the piano
06:35and help in anything else with.
06:37Oh, are you acquainted with the music of Deflated Mouth?
06:40Yes, I am.
06:41I brought the score with me.
06:43Well, would you kindly play a little bit of it for me, please?
06:47All right.
06:52There.
06:56That's fine.
06:58Fine.
06:59Music is so cultured for a girl.
07:03Maybe Mr. Strunzel.
07:05I asked already.
07:07Married.
07:12Hello, Myra.
07:13Hello, Rosalie.
07:14Hello, Mrs. Strunzel.
07:16Hello, Rosalie.
07:17Mrs. Goldberg.
07:19Yes?
07:20We need only a few good voices.
07:22We need only a few good voices.
07:25We can mix the chorus a little.
07:27I see.
07:29They'll mix the chorus a little.
07:37Jake, will you please go to the movie?
07:40There's a wonderful western.
07:42I don't like westerns.
07:44Easterns neither.
07:45Not tonight.
07:53Hello, girls.
07:55Hello.
08:10Mr. Strunzel has given up his precious time
08:13to conduct and lead us in the right direction.
08:16So let us be undivided.
08:18Undivided.
08:21Now, ladies.
08:22I want to ask you all not to be self-conscious.
08:26You will all do well for the chorus.
08:29But now we are looking for the principal parts.
08:33Who wants to try out for Adele?
08:37Mrs. Goldberg has an excellent voice, Mr. Strunzel.
08:41Excellent.
08:43She has?
08:44Very well.
08:45Try it then.
08:46Well, thank you.
08:47But when I get nervous, my voice comes out silent.
08:51Molly, try it.
08:53Try it and let it come out silent.
08:57Oh, come, Mrs. Goldberg.
08:59Let the voice come out.
09:01Mrs. Goldberg, let me hear it.
09:05Ready?
09:09Look me over once.
09:12Look me over twice.
09:14Look me over twice.
09:16If you will come.
09:19My, look, please.
09:20I think the bloomers fit me better.
09:24What a bloomer.
09:26Ha, ha, ha.
09:27Full of humor.
09:28Ha, ha, ha.
09:29If you come with me.
09:31Ha, ha.
09:32I don't know the words.
09:35The chorus, perhaps.
09:39Who's next?
09:40I'll try.
09:41Good.
09:42Ready?
09:43Ready.
09:46What a bloomer.
09:47Ha, ha, ha.
09:48We're a bloomer.
09:49Ha, ha, ha.
09:50We're a bloomer.
09:51Ha, ha, ha.
09:53That makes two for the chorus.
09:56Mrs. Carey, would you like to try it?
09:59Oh, Mrs. Carey, our dear president.
10:01Yes.
10:04Ready?
10:05Ready?
10:08What a bloomer.
10:09Oh, oh, oh.
10:11Full of humor.
10:12Oh, oh, oh.
10:14We're a fairy.
10:15Ha, ha, ha.
10:16We're a fairy.
10:17Ha, ha, ha.
10:19No.
10:21Mrs. Goldberg, we must have one voice.
10:26Well, Mrs. Velasco seems to have promised me
10:29at all the weddings in the vicinity.
10:31Oh, come on.
10:37Ready?
10:40Look me over once.
10:42Look me over twice.
10:45Examine the line of my spine.
10:50Make a resume of my vertebrae, appraising their rare design.
10:59What a bloomer.
11:01Ha, ha, ha.
11:02Full of humor.
11:03Ha, ha, ha.
11:04Very, very.
11:05Ha, ha, ha.
11:06Merry, merry.
11:08Ha, ha, ha.
11:10That's good.
11:11Very good.
11:13Now, ladies, if you all come around the piano,
11:17I just want to get a balance of the voices,
11:20and then we can set up the rehearsal.
11:23What a bloomer.
11:24Ready?
11:25What a bloomer.
11:27Ha, ha, ha.
11:28Full of humor.
11:29Ha, ha, ha.
11:30Very, very.
11:31Ha, ha, ha.
11:32Merry, merry.
11:33Ha, ha, ha.
11:35Enough.
11:36Enough.
11:37Enough.
11:38Enough.
11:40We must work on that one.
11:43Mrs. Goldberg.
11:44Yes.
11:46We want a baritone.
11:47We must have a baritone.
11:49Well, uh, who knows a baritone?
11:52Do we have a baritone?
11:53Without a baritone, there's no use to go on with the opera.
11:57Oh, my girls, we must have a baritone.
12:01Do you know Oscar the Butcher?
12:04He's a baritone.
12:06Yes.
12:07Do you trade with him?
12:09No.
12:10We trade with Charlie.
12:12He's a married man.
12:13He needs our business more than a bachelor.
12:16A bachelor?
12:20David, did you hear?
12:21A bachelor.
12:22It's starting.
12:25Do you think he would sing for us if we were to ask him?
12:28Oh, well, I don't know.
12:30Man's a butcher.
12:31The more customers he has, the more he'll want to sing,
12:34seems to me.
12:36Me, too.
12:37Girls, why don't we go over there tomorrow and ask him?
12:40Of course.
12:50Oh, I'll be with you in a minute, folks.
12:55Fine-looking young man.
12:57Very handsome butcher.
12:59Did you notice the tone?
13:02Like itchy pins.
13:04So where's Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Gary already?
13:07Promised to meet me here.
13:09Better order something before they come.
13:11What do I need?
13:12A half a chicken?
13:13Can I ask him to sing for me on a half a chicken?
13:19Yes, ma'am.
13:20What'll it be?
13:21Well, I'm Mrs. Goldberg.
13:24Yes, Mrs. Goldberg.
13:26Well, and this is my Uncle David.
13:29Mr. Romaine.
13:30How do you do?
13:31How do you do?
13:33Yes, ma'am.
13:34Very nice day.
13:35Yes, beautiful.
13:38Very seasonable weather.
13:40Uh-huh.
13:41Is there something, uh...
13:43Well, I'll have a half a chicken.
13:47Just a half?
13:48Yes.
13:52You can put me down as a new customer, Miss Oscar.
13:55That's nice.
13:58How's this?
13:59Very nice.
14:00Very nice.
14:01Anything else?
14:02Well, uh...
14:03Eight lamb chops.
14:05A lamb chop.
14:06How many?
14:07Eight.
14:08Eight nice lamb chops.
14:09Yes.
14:12They didn't come yet, huh?
14:14No.
14:15So ask him.
14:16An eight lamb chops and a half a chicken?
14:19She'll take the other half.
14:24Here we are.
14:25And what else?
14:27Four pounds of chuck steak.
14:29Four pounds chuck steak.
14:30Molly, who eats chuck steak?
14:32Who asked you?
14:34Anything else?
14:35Um...
14:36How's your liver?
14:38Beautiful.
14:39Two pounds and slice me.
14:42Two pounds and sli...
14:44Yes, ma'am.
14:47Molly.
14:48Take a turkey already and ask him.
14:53I'll have a turkey.
14:55How heavy?
14:56The heaviest.
14:57Twenty-four pounds all right?
14:58Yes.
14:59Mm-hmm.
15:00And I'll have one duck and 12 cutlets and a breast of veal.
15:03And if you have brains, I'll have some.
15:06Is there anything else?
15:08Yes, I'd like to have...
15:10A baritone.
15:15Open arms
15:17Welcome your love
15:20To your open arms
15:25Open arms
15:28Home is your love
15:31There in your arms
15:36Open arms
15:40Open up your arms
15:47Beautiful.
15:49Beautiful.
15:51Beautiful.
15:52Beautiful, Mr. Stanley.
15:54Why not, Oscar?
15:55Enchanting.
15:57Enchanting.
15:58David, would you mind taking Mr. Stanley
16:00and measuring him for his costume?
16:02Well, if he's come.
16:03I'm going to work on your costume.
16:06You're not going to leave, are you?
16:09Not if you think you need me.
16:11Please stay.
16:13All right.
16:14Mr. Oscar.
16:15Coming.
16:20Myra.
16:22He's a great artist.
16:23Oh, he is.
16:24He is.
16:26Excuse me.
16:30Hello?
16:32Yes.
16:34Yes.
16:35Myra, your mother for you.
16:37Well, hold.
16:41Hello, Ma?
16:43No, Ma.
16:44I'm going to be here very late.
16:46Don't worry, Ma.
16:47I'm sure someone will take me home.
16:50Yes.
16:52Yes.
16:55She wants to talk to you.
16:57Hello?
16:59Yes.
17:01Uh-huh.
17:04Myra, there's some apples and oranges
17:06standing on my kitchen table.
17:07Fetch them, Hilda.
17:09Please.
17:10All right.
17:11Hello?
17:12Well, all I can say, romance is budding.
17:17Didn't Myra tell you?
17:20A wonderful musician.
17:23Extremely musical.
17:26A butcher.
17:28Hello?
17:30Hello, are you there?
17:33Nothing, only I thought I heard silence.
17:37Well, bye.
17:41Is everything all right?
17:43Oh, wonderful.
17:48Hello, darling.
17:50Oh, my.
17:51You look wonderful.
17:52Oh, my.
17:53Oh, look.
17:54Hi, like a playdoh.
17:55Marvellous.
17:57Wait till you see Mrs. Carey.
17:59Here, mama darling, try this on.
18:03Myra, only bring the record and put it on, yes, darling?
18:07Oh, come on.
18:08We'll see how the skirts will flow in the dance.
18:25Can I take you home tonight?
18:26I'm glad you asked me.
18:28I told my mother somebody would.
18:31How are the tickets selling, Mrs. Peterson?
18:34We're almost all sold out.
18:36Astounding.
18:37And it's only three days before the performance.
18:40Wonderful.
18:43Oh, girls.
18:44It's going to be a sellout.
18:47Let me look at you.
18:48Have you got any tickets left?
18:50Let me have them.
18:51I can use every one.
18:53I know.
18:54I've got one to spare.
18:57Hello, Charlie.
18:59Charlie the butcher.
19:02Charlie, our butcher.
19:04No, ladies.
19:05Not your butcher.
19:07Charlie, your former butcher.
19:09Very nice.
19:10Very nice, Oscar.
19:11I suppose I'll have to cultivate my voice if I want to keep my customers.
19:15Why, Charlie.
19:16No, it's all right, Mrs. Carey.
19:18It's all right.
19:19All those years.
19:21I must congratulate you, Oscar.
19:23Well, it took me 20 years to build up.
19:25You took away from me.
19:26They were the songs.
19:27Listen, Charlie.
19:28No, I didn't come here to listen, Oscar.
19:30And I didn't come here to sing, either.
19:32No, I came to tell my customers what I think of them.
19:34And what I think of you, too.
19:36Now, just a minute.
19:37No, it's all right.
19:38But you just wait.
19:39Wait until the play is over with and they don't need your voice anymore.
19:43Then see where they come for their chickens and their lamb chops and their liver.
19:49Please!
19:51Look, Charlie.
19:52I don't want your customers.
19:53I don't need your customers.
19:55Ladies, please.
19:56Take your business back to Charlie.
19:58If I sing, it's because I love to sing.
20:02Charlie, did you hear?
20:04Oscar said he loves to sing.
20:06Charlie, be assured that all our extracurricular, our donor dinners and our donor luncheons
20:13and our civic celebrations, including our private parties, will all be yours.
20:18And Charlie, Charlie, shouldn't you be proud to have a singer in your profession?
20:24Look at him.
20:26Charlie, shake hands with Oscar.
20:34Charlie.
20:35Oh, please, Charlie.
20:36Shake his hand.
20:37Go on.
20:38Charlie.
20:40Charlie.
20:41For our town's sake.
21:09Oh, Mrs. Fuller.
21:10Myra, your mother.
21:11Myra.
21:12Hello, Mother.
21:13I want you to meet...
21:14I came to take you home.
21:16I didn't raise my daughter to be a butcher's wife.
21:19Mother.
21:20I think you mean me, Mrs. Fuller.
21:23I was the butcher that was going to take your daughter home.
21:27Good night.
21:29Good night, Mrs. Goldberg.
21:30Oscar.
21:32Molly, I'm afraid you'll have to find yourself another baritone.
21:42What are you going to do, Ma?
21:43Without a baritone, the show can't go on.
21:45And all the tickets are sold.
21:47Now I know what Myra's trouble is.
21:49What?
21:50Her mother, that's what.
21:51Oscar's such a wonderful young man.
21:53He wasn't born a butcher, and he don't have to die a butcher.
21:56And if he is?
21:57I have nothing against him.
21:59And if he is?
22:00I have nothing against butchers.
22:02I love butchers.
22:03All I'm saying is that a man should be able to make a living at what he loves to do.
22:07And Oscar loves to sing.
22:09And with such a voice.
22:10Of course.
22:11Rosalie, get me Oscar on the telephone.
22:14Four times you called him, and four times he hung you.
22:17So why should he answer you now?
22:19Rosalie, get me Oscar on the telephone.
22:22You, Mrs. Carey.
22:25Mrs. Carey.
22:28Yes?
22:29Listen, darling, who's singing at your sister-in-law's wedding?
22:33I thought I would.
22:35Don't.
22:36What's the date?
22:38The 18th.
22:39Tell me something.
22:41Who's going to entertain at the teachers and the parents?
22:44We don't know yet.
22:45And who's singing at your daughter's father-in-law's golden wedding anniversary?
22:50No, we don't know that either.
22:52Wonderful.
22:53I have a wonderful singer for you.
22:55I'll be over to discuss the date.
22:59The line is busy, Ma.
23:00Rosalie, take a letter.
23:02To whom?
23:03To whom it may concern.
23:07One question, Oscar, please.
23:09Sorry, Mrs. Goldberg.
23:10You'll have to find yourself another baritone.
23:12I don't want to talk about it.
23:13Can I ask one small interrogation?
23:15If it's about Myra.
23:17That's still not my question.
23:18She deserves someone better.
23:20Oscar, one question.
23:21My butcher shop is a...
23:22A question, Oscar.
23:24What is it, Mrs. Goldberg?
23:25What is it?
23:26Are you available to sing at weddings, confirmations and anniversaries and so forth?
23:31When?
23:32Take a pencil and jot.
23:35On the 18th, Mrs. Cary's niece's wedding.
23:40The 22nd in New York.
23:42The 26th and...
23:44All for free?
23:45Not at all.
23:46The 29th and the 31st.
23:48I'll be paid to sing?
23:50Oh, and very well.
23:51Did you put down the 28th?
23:53Yes.
23:54And let me see.
23:55Now that's for that month.
23:57Now roll over and write the 5th, the 6th, the 8th and the 9th.
24:05Oh, the telephone.
24:08I think that's for me, Myra.
24:11Why not for me?
24:14Oscars!
24:16Myra, when can I see you?
24:19Anytime you say, Oscar.
24:21Just hold on a minute.
24:25Myra, darling, if you'll accompany me,
24:27I can see you on the 18th, the 22nd, the 26th, the 28th, the 29th, the 30th, 31st of this month,
24:33and next month on the 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th...
24:38Oscars!
24:42Oscar, I have some more dates for you.
24:44Take a pencil and jot.
24:46In the month of May, 10 confirmations, 5 weddings, 7 auxiliaries.
24:51And in June...
24:52Are you jotting?
24:54If you're looking for Myra, she's in the left box.
25:02Oscar is booked for quite a concert tour, isn't he, Myra?
25:07In the Bronx, Brooklyn, Flatbush, Passaic, Newark and the Oranges.
25:13And Myra, see that Oscar leaves at least one date open in June.
25:18Is it going to be a June wedding?
25:21I hope so.
