- See how George does it at his age.
- I remember him when I was little.
:02:12
Congratulations, George, old boy.
You did a great job.
:02:16
- Thanks.
- Congratulations, Mr. Cohan.
:02:19
- You had him down to a tee.
- But we're still on dangerous ground.
:02:23
Imitating the president,
a lot of people won't like it.
:02:26
It's good, clean fun.
Didn't they enjoy it in Boston?
:02:29
Never could do anything wrong in Boston.
:02:32
Greatest man in the U.S. Played by the
greatest actor. Nothing wrong with that.
:02:37
Especially when the greatest actor
is my husband.
:02:40
- This could be treason.
- A dollar-a-year man will take care of you.
:02:44
A lot of them would like
to shoot actors.
:02:46
Save these telegrams.
Government needs paper.
:02:49
You've got a list with everybody
but Hirohito.
:02:52
- We'll bring him in.
- Here's the one I sent.
:02:55
- Will you read our cleverness?
- What makes you think I didn't?
:02:59
I didn't know there was that much love left
in the entire Western Union codebook.
:03:03
Hold that. Thank you. Thank you.
:03:05
- Don't bother me.
- It's from the White House.
:03:09
- Well, that bothers me.
- Here.
:03:11
You read it.
These aren't my reading glasses.
:03:15
"George M. Cohan,
The Alvin Theater, New York.
:03:18
The president requests that you call
upon him at your earliest convenience...
:03:22
...in regard to a personal matter.
:03:25
Kindly reply for definite appointment
at White House.
:03:29
Stephen T. Early,
secretary to the president."
:03:34
There you are, Sam.
There you are. What did I tell you?
:03:39
Coming at a time like this,
with everything on his mind...
:03:42
...this is not just a casual invitation.
This is important.
:03:46
- I think we're in trouble.
- Don't worry.
:03:48
They don't telegraph you
to come and be shot at sunrise.
:03:51
- He doesn't get up that early.
- I've got a run-of-the-play contract.
:03:55
Fine time to make lame jokes.
:03:59
I'm worried, Sam.
