The Actress

Edit
  • Annie Jones: Ruth, why don't you give up this going on the stage business and settle down with a nice man?
  • Ruth Gordon Jones: Oh, mama, don't be disgusting!
  • Annie Jones: Now. Wasn't that enjoyable?
  • Ruth Gordon Jones: I wish I was dead.
  • Clinton Jones: You got a kick in the pants, but that ain't fatal.
  • Clinton Jones: Why do they call this Elmwood Avenue? It's full of maple trees?
  • Hazel Dawn: [Hazel Dawn performs the song My Beautiful Lady in the Ivan Caryll musical play The Pink Lady at the Colonial Theatre in Boston, Massachusetts. In the audience, the teenage Ruth Gordon watches the performance, entranced and spellbound] Oh, then I should have the chance / by fiddling to in France. / And pay regard to our romance / the prettiest girls in France. / And while I'd play, / my yearning eyes would say...
  • Chorus: My yearning eyes would say... / To you, beautiful lady, / I raise my eyes. / My heart, beautiful lady, / to your heart sighs. / Come, come, beautiful lady, / to paradise.
  • Hazel Dawn: E're the sweet, sweet / waltz dream dies.
  • Chorus: Glide, glide, beautiful lady, / on light, bright wings.
  • Hazel Dawn: While the rapture of music / around us swings.
  • Hazel Dawn, Chorus: Dream, dream, dream and forget - / care, pain, useless regret. / Love, love, beautiful lady, / in my heart sings.
