:34:02
He has charisma. Came into the audience,
spent about 15 minutes with them...

:34:06
fussing with the ladies, kissing,
and they loved him.

:34:09
He got standing ovations every night.
:34:11
Peggy Lee came.
She wasn't the greatest hit.

:34:13
But she had her cult
from surrounding areas.

:34:16
Her cult love her.
Those who came absolutely loved her.

:34:19
Standing ovations, bravos, cheers...
They were crazy about her.

:34:23
Last year, Mitzi Gaynor came here
with her show.

:34:25
She brings 10 wonderful
boy dancers with her.

:34:27
She makes 16 changes. The boys make 14.
:34:31
When they're on, she's off.
She's on, they're off, changing costumes.

:34:34
One production number after another.
:34:36
You'd be surprised. Some of those
hard-hat factory workers say, ''Hey! ''

:34:41
They present their badge or identification,
so they can come at a half-price ticket...

:34:46
to keep them coming
when they're having hard times.

:34:56
Long before she sold orange juice...
:34:58
Anita Bryant sold spark plugs
for General Motors' AC division.

:35:02
She used to perform for General Motors
when I was a child.

:35:05
I remember her carrying around
a giant spark plug...

:35:08
and singing You'll Never Walk Alone.
:35:11
Now she was back in Flint,
offering advice to the unemployed.

:35:14
Opportunities are still in Flint, Michigan.
They're still in America.

:35:17
Hang in there. Take a day at a time.
:35:20
Go forward and be positive about life.
:35:22
Don't feel regretful or guilty
about the past, or worry about the future.

:35:26
You have today. Today's a new day.
:35:28
It's an opportunity for you
to look about you...

:35:30
and look at the positive within yourself
and within your community.

:35:46
I read something interesting.
Margaret Thatcher says:

:35:49
''Cheer up, America.
You live in a great country.

:35:51
''You're a free country.
You have a great President.

:35:54
''Not everything's perfect, but cheer up,
because you live in a free America.''

:35:58
So, we live in a free society.
