You Never Know Women

I think I can do this sort of thing better than you

Can I take you anywhere?

Here's something to put aside for a rainy day

The little Theatre Alexei Chekoff presents

The world Famous Russian Troupe JANOVA-NORODIN COMPANY

direct from THE IMPERIAL VAUDEVILLE OF MOSCOW

FIRST AMERICAN TOUR

Let the audience wait. We can't begin without Vera.

Oh, Ivan, I was nearly killed ~a gentleman saved me just in time ~

Ridiculous, isn't it?

TOBERCHIK Russia's foremost clown in

BARRELS OF FUN

Vera, I don't know what we would do without you.

You're just like a mother to all of us.

I cannot stop thinking about that accident. You might have been killed...

But I wasn't, Ivan ~ so you must not worry ~

Vera, if anything should happen to you...

I don't know what I would do.

Ivan, you are getting sentimental again.

It was clumsy of me not to save your umbrella too.

Will you be gracious enough to accept this one in its place. Mr. Eugene Foster

He was fascinating ~ so gallant.

Ridiculous, isn't it?

A Triple Escape from Manacles - Sealed Chest - and water

Ladies and gentlemen! We ask your closest attention to

Mr. Norodin's most difficult and dangerous act.

So that ther may be no suspicion of fraud, I ask the

co-operation of several gentlemen from the audience.

Scientific experiments have proved that no human being

can remain alive under water for more than three minutes.

One minute!

Two minutes!

Three minutes!

Every time you do that trick ~I hold my breath ~until my heart almost stops!

How much do they pay you for being rude to people?

I'll pay you just twice as much to be nice to me

I must thank you for sending me that lovely

umbrella, but I don't think I should accept it.

I've a feeling that we're going to be friends. Couldn't

we have supper together after the performance?

I was just suggesting that Miss Vera and her friends

in the company take supper with me tonight.

We never accept invitations for after performance. But if Miss Janova cares to go...

I must hurry and dress for the finale!

A few nights later ~ The theatrical hotel where the troupe lives like one big family.

LOVE MAGIC AND OTHER VERSES

What could she know or tell Of life, its rapture and its miracle?

Till Love had made her rise And by his magic opened wide her eyes.

I had some business to discuss with your manager tonight.

Of course, I couldn't leave here without seeing you .

I want everybody to be nice to Mr Foster. He's rich

and influential ~ a very valuable friend to have.

You know, I can't help feeling that it was fate, more than accident, that brought about our first meeting.

Mr Foster has offered ten thousand dollars if we'll

give a performance at his home next Sunday night!

You look and act more like our goose every day! Take

his money if you want to~I don't care what you do!

~and for the past few days, I've been wondering if you really like me.

Oh, I do like you! You are so light-hearted~so

different from all the men I have known.

Shall I finish reading the love poems?

Till love had made her wise And by his magic opened wide her eyes.

Ivan, does love really come like that ~as swift and sudden as magic?

Yes, Vera, love comes like that ~ sometimes.

You are beginning to see at last! He loves you ~he has always loved you!

The dinner-party at Foster's home.

That was just to prepare you something unusual in the way of entertainment.

I've engaged the famous Janova-Norodin company for the evening.

Say, Foster, pick out a little brunette for me~ one that speaks English!

I hope you've found everything comfortable. If there's anything further I can do...
