Oliver Niles' car is just driving up.
:04:03
And waving to her fans is Lola Lavery.
:04:25
Oliver Niles, the famous producer.
:04:27
Ladies and gentlemen,
may I present lovely Lola Lavery.
:04:32
Thank you, George, sweetie.
It's so divine being here tonight.
:04:35
And I know you are looking forward
to seeing your favorite star and mine.
:04:39
And, of course, you know,
Norman Maine is the great attraction...
:04:42
... here at the Shrine Auditorium tonight.
And, of course...
:04:46
... wherever Norman Maine goes,
lovely little Lola is sure to be there.
:04:52
Joan, doesn't she look beautiful tonight?
:04:55
Darling, how are you? Isn't she adorable?
You're looking divine.
:04:58
What are you wearing tonight?
She's wearing a black sheath.
:05:01
Isn't it divine? And a white fox.
And the diamonds in the hair.
:05:05
Did you ever... It's adorable!
:05:11
We've just had the pleasure of having
lovely Lola Lavery at our microphones.
:05:16
Did you ever see anyone so sweet,
so unspoiled and down-to-earth?
:05:20
She's a darling girl.
:05:26
- Hello, Lola.
- Libby, darling.
:05:28
Norman's not here.
:05:30
Didn't you call for him at his house?
:05:32
He wasn't there. I've been all over town,
the usual places. Not a sign of him.
:05:36
Libby, Normie loves being late.
He's always late with me.
:05:39
You're not exactly a public performance,
my dear.
:05:42
- You know where I'm sitting.
- I'll check backstage again.
