 of the circus but the results can Russian lady who understands the tool greatness of the Cossacks Russian lady in this country like us she is in exile and so when she sees the magnificent riding which we she writes your love letter yeah no that is not like that at all this not as dignified worthy of a great lady who writes to a great artist so it is like that now this lady must be clever to write so fascinating a note what does she say I will read it to you at the top she says my dream right now it is as I said the lady is a romantic yes perhaps but she's also dignified and wait you listen the countess Rita rimsakov not one of the wealthy families of Rimsikov don't enter up Olga of course it must be the famous old family we know they are all in exile yes and we know too that they brought a fortune out of the old country go on this is the most important part tonight I am giving a grand costume ball at my estate state that sounds as if she is very wealthy Olga I am sorry but I will be quiet if you will honor me by coming in costume I will send my chauffeur with the down car for you huh you see she is rich beauty entrance at the circus grounds at 1130 the motive of the costumes for the ball is childhood so dress accordingly that is quite simple she's asking her guest to dress like children it is quite the custom in this country America probably the countess is trying to please her American friends so that must be it she finishes like this a young Russian countess in exile salutes you and eagerly awaits the opportunity to show her appreciation in person for your exquisite performance that is all is that not enough it sounds like a very discerning lady you see she appreciates the beauty of my writing and probably the beauty of your profile I cannot help it the fully lovely ladies are attracted with my appearance it is a cross I must always bear you do not fool me Boris you love it and you work hard to keep yourself looking well but it is good you do not show your age you will still be handsome for many years it is so but not a question is what shall I do about his charming countess I suppose you mean by that what will I do about fixing a costume for you by tonight good I knew I could depend on you I'll get I have not yet said I would do this no but you will for my pleasure and for the good of the family how do you mean the good of the family you do not see and I thought you so wise for a woman if this Russian lady is so wealthy with an estate a town car elaborate party yes but what does that to do with us Olga I am not yet married of course you mean if there is enough money it might be worth yes of course the rules of need more money and always more money all right Boris I will fix you so great a co costume that you will put to shame all the Americans are then this part good you will not be sorry Olga as head of our family I will see that you will be rewarded it is true that you and I seem to realize more than the utterest the importance of having our own search we must take advantage of anything that looks like an opportunity to further the interests of the roof soft family now about this party tonight what shall I wear you must be very grand perhaps I should make you some velvet nickel blockers like the great people were at court yes that is good I will look well in short velvet knickers would perhaps those silver buckles of yours at the knees I will gladly lend them to you for so good a court and a silk shirt with a gay colored stash at the base you will make a very fine Romeo and I will ask that youngster Jerry to lend me his plumbed hat which he wears in the ring with El Mundo Boris you are a genius indeed you will make such a fine Romeo the great lady will fall head over heels in love with you of that I am sure I must declare at once the wardrobe I may need some assistance of course for you only have a few hours in which to make this costume don't forget to ask Jerry for that hat of his it will be very dashing with the costume yes and it will give me a chance to make a very costly bow before the lady when we meet I am afraid Olga we will have these wealthy contests eating out of our hands before the night is out hey slant oh there you are Jerry I was wondering what happened to you are you sure Boris got the letter that's allowed I'm sorry we must be sure no one knows of this but ourselves if Boris talks to her that is fine he's talking all right you should have heard him boasting at dinner about this fine lady who was invited him to her mansion and how rich he is and I was Mr. Randall air I'll say and bumps and everybody Boris has been making a big fuss over the whole thing and everybody seemed to fall for it I bet he won't come to meals for a week when he finds it again I feel sorry for him if he hadn't been so mean to why don't you worry about him he needs to be taken down he's one of the venous men I've ever met in this business speaking of angels here comes our hero right now where oh yeah he's hidden for us you don't think he's guessed already of course not well hello there Boris you look particularly well tonight yes I feel unusually fit and it is well as I am having a very important engagement this evening that's all you're going to do another actor well in a way you are right in a way you are wrong that sounds pretty mysterious but I will no longer be mysterious I have been invited this very evening by a very famous lady and a very rich and exceedingly beautiful lady to be a guest of honor at the grand costume ball Jiminy see that sounds like a lot of fun it is a great responsibility for she is a great Russian lady who has heard of the greatness of the Russo family really my my my that's certainly unusual but I mean of course she would have heard of you that is better and now Jerry I have a little favor to ask you sure what can I do for you I wonder would you be kind to lend me the gay hatch you wear any act with Elmondo sure of course I'd be glad to lend it to you you think Mr Randall in mind after all it belongs to the circus I already tell him about tonight he told me to go ahead Claire is helping Olga with my costume my my you will be glad what's up I will probably steal the show but that is as it should be I finished my act you want it now no no I must go now but if you will bring it to my tent after my act I will be glad okay hope you have a nice time don't worry there I must go well he sure fell for it so I didn't think it I feel kind of mean well don't if he can't take a joke it's his own fault I know someone played such a crazy joke on me I'd laugh with him when I found it out but I'm afraid Boris won't take it like that Mario my look at that man Boris writes that the raping horse is if he were part of it he's your plane to the grandstand and I was the same the beautiful countess is only a myth boy Boris is out doing himself tonight all right yes the way he takes those bows you think he was a whole show he thinks he is but his brother just is good well I guess I'd better make a change hope I'm still a turn to do don't forget to take Boris the hat oh I won't he'd ought to add to the picture as he stands on the curb stone and wait I'll meet you on front before 11 30 we don't want to miss any of the fun from the way he's acted he'll be on time so come early I will so long slash bye meet you Mr. Randall it's a mighty fine show you got yes sir yes well if you've enjoyed it we're all satisfied I have Mr. Randall I tell you every time your circus comes to town I get out the old car and bring the old girl down family yes sir we wouldn't order summertime but didn't see your show well that's nice yes I was telling Liza only this morning Liza I said I guess about time we can them beans it's mid-summer and last year we can them beans we catch the circus comes down the circus is now almost a calendar for you I tell you if you're a circus it's kept our town this year lies in me probably clean forgot about them beans excuse me please I must see that boy about sure sure thing business before pleasure Jerry Jerry yes I want to see you but excuse us to see you next summer that's right bean cannon yeah I certainly did I wanted to get away from that man back there he was talking an arm off me yeah some folks the jerk can get all wound up and where you heading Jerry well I know it's a secret I don't want to buddy and oh no of course it's not I was supposed to meet slats out here oh I see well I'm still pretty crowded out here in the midway some of these towners like the hang around to the last minute and the nights the tents come down sometimes we have to call in the police to clear the way I don't blame them for liking to watch those big tops come down hey that's only excitement where over there in the corner look at that crowd something must have happened I don't think so the crowd just seems to be laughing it's Boris Mr. Angle Boris what on earth is he doing out here in that gala he does look kind of funny and it doesn't remember now he told me something about being invited to a costume ball he was pretty excited about the whole thing yeah I loaned him my hand recognize it I'm not very keen on his making a spectacle of himself out here I guess I better talk to him I thought you'd never get there what's happening say slats mr. Randall's kind of upset because Boris is causing such a commotion out here in front of the circus I'll say yes you should have heard a couple of the boys guiding him back there has he been waiting long got a while he's hot under the collar about all the kids he's getting hey look Boris is all excited talking to mr. Randall look at the crowd gather around oh there's a policeman see you you don't think there's gonna be any trouble not with mr. Randall there but it's lucky he came Boris was likely to say something mean to that card I sort of wish we hadn't gotten into all this don't worry he's waited long enough already anyhow the crowd is kind of losing interest now yeah it was only good for a laugh when they could get Boris's goat here comes mr. Randall now even mr. Randall certainly have got to see that a thing like this doesn't happen again how do you mean one of the performers coming out here in a costume with the audience not yet gone why it's ridiculous ridiculous well tonight folks I've got some things to do night night geez slats I sure hope we don't get into trouble on this
