Show Boat
[part-talkie]
1
The mighty Mississippi
- deep and moody.
2
Herald of summer -
the whistle of the
Show Boat just around
the bend.
3
The Cotton Palace -
bringing to the river
folk the glorious world
of unreality - the theatre.
4
"Hurry! We're coming
into Westport!"
5
"Maggie Hawks! I'm going
to paddle you good!"
6
"Papa, mother's going
to paddle me, but I
don't care."
7
"Please don't take my
baby - please!"
8
"Maggie Hawks! What
are you up to now?"
9
"Give her back her
child, you skunk!"
10
"I forgot where I wuz."
11
"Julie - - !"
12
"Second act - !"
13
"Julie - I wish you
was my mama!"
14
"Julie Dozier, I'm not
going to have my
daughter corrupted
by a show-boat
trollop like you!"
15
"You've got to go!"
16
"Hell's fire, Julie! You're
causing a stage wait!
Come on!"
17
"You're fired!"
18
"Yes, and I'll fire the
next one if he tries
to make love to
Maggie!"
19
"I wired for a new
leading man and
there he is."
20
"He's no actor - he's
a gentleman!"
21
"He's got a crack in his
shoe. He's an actor!"
22
"Bring him on board."
23
"What a Romeo you'll
make!"
24
"How about - Hamlet?"
25
"Hawks! Bring that
young man aboard!"
26
"Something tells me
I won't do."
27
"My daughter - our
leading lady - she
plays Juliet."
28
"Mr. Gaylord Ravenal -
our new leading man."
29
"Save that for your
acting."
30
"Your salary will be
fifteen dollars a
week - - if you last
a week!"
31
"Gambler - ?"
32
"Gentleman gambler."
33
"I'll take a chance -
if you will!"
34
"Good! I'll learn ye!"
35
"Beautiful!"
36
"Yes, the river at night
is beautiful."
37
"How is the part
coming?"
38
"Would you mind going
through our scenes
together?"
39
"From the moment mine
eyes beheld you, I loved
you."
40
"In some olden time,
you were a princess,
and I - your devoted
lover."
41
"Your daughter is
helping me to
become familiar
with my part."
42
"I'll help you become
familiar with an
audience!"
43
The course of human
lives may be changed
in a day, but the river
flows on - relentless,
eternal.
44
"Parthy, here's the
doctor."
45
"Everybody ashore!
The river is rising!"
46
"It's a girl!"
47
"Another leading lady!"
48
"Drowned!"
49
"Don't mind Mother."
50
"Where's Father?"
51
"Sleeping - after the
storm."
52
"You'll write....?"
53
"Once a month -
regular."
54
"Come back when the
money's gone, but
come alone."
55
"I'll never come back!"
56
CHICAGO
57
The whirlpools
of chance.
58
"There's Gaylord Ravenal
and his wife."
59
"That's the notorious
Hetty Chilson."
60
"Just how well do you
know this Chilson
woman?"
61
"Run over to Goldsmith's
and get me five hundred
on this."
62
"How can he borrow five
hundred on a ten dollar
cane?"
63
"That cane is good for
a thousand dollars
anywhere he is known.
It's his pledge of honor
- his bond."
64
"Play 'I Got Shoes',
Mama, and I'll go
to bed - this time
for sure!"
65
"Where's your cane?"
66
"But the money Mother
gave us - that can't be
all gone?"
67
"Go on, say it! Your
mother was right -"
68
"- say it! I'm just
a gambler and I'm
dragging you down!"
69
"I don't mind, dear.
I'm just thinking of
Kim."
70
"This is your new home.
We brought you here
last night while you
were asleep."
71
"It's ugly - I don't
like it."
72
"Come, Nola! We're leaving
this rat's nest, tonight!"
73
"I bought back all
your 'pretties'!"
74
"Where are we going -
back to the Sherman
House?"
75
"We'll be careful this
time, won't we, dear?
I don't mind, but we
must think of Kim."
76
"This is 'White Hat'
speaking - I've got a
bargain for you in a
trotting horse."
77
"Five thousand dollars."
78
"This horse will make
a fortune for you in
six months."
79
"But, Gay - you promised
we'd be careful."
80
"Darling, in six months
we'll be wealthy, and
I'll quit gambling
forever. I promise."
81
"Don't run me into
the fence!"
82
"I lost the race - but
I still have the colt."
83
"That colt will never
race again. His leg
is broken."
