"Singin' in the Rain"

ACT I

Hello out there, this is Dora Bailey at Grauman's Theater in Hollywood. Every Star is here to make Monumental Picture's premiere of "The Royal Rascal" the event of 1927!



Little Mary Margaret, and her new husband,
R.F. Simpson and his lovely wife,
the famous zip girl, Zelda Zanders,
and the famous director Roscoe Dexter.


That sound you (never) heard is the arrival of the exotic star, Olga Mara.


Here's Cosmo Brown, Don's closest friend.

And here they are now, the bacon and eggs of the silver screen,
Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont!!!


Cosmo and I performed form Mum and Dad's society friends.
And they took us to the theater; the finest of the classics.


Fit as a Fiddle and ready for love.....

 


We movie actors aren't much good at speaking in public, so we'll just act out our thanks.


...........Why, it's Don Lockwood!


It's just a lot of dumb show, like this....well, you know.


Could there be eyes like yours, could there be lips like yours..............


You, stepped out of a dream.......


Now come on, kids, give me a break..... Farewell, Ethyl Barrymore.


The Party Tango.


This is a demonstration of a Talking Picture.
Notice how it is a picture of me, and I am talking......

Wheeeeeeeeee!


It vill never amount to a sing!


All I do is dream of you, the whole night through.......


Now that I know you live in a cake, I'll take you home.

Here's one thing I learned from the movies......

 


Oh, Lina, you never looked lovelier!


Make 'em Laugh, make 'em laugh



Don't you know everyone wants to laugh.

 


Here comes Miss Lamont n....... I know, I know!

I'm puttin' on your beauty mark, honey.

You're darned tootin' she got fired, I arranged it!

Remember, Don, you love her, and have to overcome her
shyness and timidity.
