0:07:47 > 0:07:52CHEERING

0:07:55 > 0:08:05Inenarrably ineluctable, nonpareil nenuphar of nubility.

0:08:07 > 0:08:13That is marriage-ability. Your own ever adorable Miss Eira Heath.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30# I walked one day along Broadway when I was in New York

0:08:30 > 0:08:35# A friend of mine said, "My, you're fine, you've got to get work

0:08:37 > 0:08:39# "You have the pose and Gibson nose

0:08:39 > 0:08:43# "And quite the Gibson leer

0:08:43 > 0:08:45# "You've surely heard of the Gibson style

0:08:45 > 0:08:48# "It's been all the rage for quite a while"

0:08:48 > 0:08:55# What he meant was not quite clear until I landed over here

0:08:59 > 0:09:05# But why do they call me a Gibson girl, Gibson girl, Gibson girl?

0:09:05 > 0:09:10# Have I a look that is rather haughty, slightly sporty

0:09:10 > 0:09:14# Never too naughty?

0:09:14 > 0:09:19# Wear a blank expression and a monumental curl

0:09:20 > 0:09:26# And walk with a bend in your back and they call you a Gibson girl

0:09:29 > 0:09:35# Just walk round town, look up and down, the girls affect a style

0:09:35 > 0:09:42# As they pass by with downcast eye with a tired and languid smile

0:09:42 > 0:09:47# In dreams they saw, it's such a bore to sip a cup of tea

0:09:48 > 0:09:50# They do their best for they're trying to be

0:09:50 > 0:09:54# The perfect Gibson type, you see

0:09:54 > 0:10:02# But how surprising to be told that I quite fit the Gibson mould

0:10:06 > 0:10:13# But why do they call me a Gibson girl, Gibson girl, Gibson girl?

0:10:13 > 0:10:18# Have I a look that is rather haughty, slightly sporty

0:10:18 > 0:10:20# Never too naughty?

0:10:20 > 0:10:27# Wear a blank expression and a monumental curl

0:10:33 > 0:10:40# But why do they call me a Gibson girl, Gibson girl, Gibson girl?

0:10:40 > 0:10:45# The fellows I meet say I'm quite disarming, rather charming

0:10:45 > 0:10:48# Slightly alarming

0:10:48 > 0:10:54# Wear a blank expression and their heads are in a whirl

0:10:54 > 0:11:00# And walk with a bend in your back and they call you a Gibson girl

0:11:00 > 0:11:04# With a bend in your back and a look in your eye

0:12:01 > 0:12:06# How'd you like to spoon with me?

0:12:06 > 0:12:10# I don't know why I am so very shy

0:12:10 > 0:12:15# I've always been demure

0:12:15 > 0:12:19# I never knew what silly lovers do

0:12:19 > 0:12:24# No flirting I'd endure

0:12:24 > 0:12:27# In all my life I've never kissed a man

0:12:27 > 0:12:31# I've never winked my eye

0:28:56 > 0:29:00# From which I'll never roam

0:29:00 > 0:29:03# Who would? Would you?

0:29:03 > 0:29:07# And so all else above

0:29:07 > 0:29:15# I'm waiting for the man I love. #

0:29:21 > 0:29:28# Fish got to swim and birds got to fly

0:29:28 > 0:29:35# I've got to love one man till I die

0:29:35 > 0:29:42# Can't help loving that man of mine

0:29:48 > 0:29:54# Tell me he's lazy Tell me he's slow

0:29:54 > 0:30:01# Tell me I'm crazy, maybe I know

0:30:01 > 0:30:09# Can't help loving that man of mine

0:30:14 > 0:30:21# When he goes away

0:30:21 > 0:30:27# That's a rainy day

0:30:27 > 0:30:32# But when he comes back

0:30:32 > 0:30:39# That day is fine

0:30:39 > 0:30:42# The sun will shine

0:30:43 > 0:30:48# The sun will shine

0:30:48 > 0:30:54# He can come home as late as can be

0:30:54 > 0:31:00# Home without him ain't no home to me

0:31:00 > 0:31:03# Can't help

0:31:03 > 0:31:14# Loving that man of mine. #

0:31:21 > 0:31:24RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:31:42 > 0:31:46The acme, the apogee,

0:31:46 > 0:31:52the zenith of idiosyncratic egocentricity,

0:31:52 > 0:31:58the one and only Mr Max Wall!

0:31:58 > 0:31:59APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:31:59 > 0:32:01ORCHESTRA STRIKES UP

0:32:11 > 0:32:13JAUNTY INSTRUMENTAL

0:32:17 > 0:32:19LAUGHTER

0:32:19 > 0:32:22APPLAUSE

0:32:28 > 0:32:30Huh! Hm!

0:32:31 > 0:32:33- HE COUGHS - Excuse me.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39# I've always been quite hasty, I blow up just like a bubble

0:32:39 > 0:32:42# And I say things that I honestly don't mean

0:32:44 > 0:32:47# Well, I'll have to cure this habit or I'll get myself in trouble

0:32:47 > 0:32:49# And I'll finish up by making quite a scene

0:32:52 > 0:32:55# For instance, only yesterday I tried to cross the road

0:32:55 > 0:32:58# And I nearly got run over by a car

0:32:59 > 0:33:03# I shouted to the fellow, "Learn to drive, you little toad

0:33:06 > 0:33:08LAUGHTER

0:33:09 > 0:33:12# "The ugly little midget that you are"

0:33:15 > 0:33:18# He stopped and then got out and I could see

0:33:20 > 0:33:24# That the chap was over six feet tall and looked just like a tree

0:33:28 > 0:33:30# He said, "What was that that you said?"

0:33:30 > 0:33:32# I said, "Who said?" He said, "You said!"

0:33:32 > 0:33:34# I said, "Me?" He said, "Yes, you" I said, "Not me!"

0:33:40 > 0:33:42# He said, "I've half a mind to thrash you"

0:33:42 > 0:33:44# I said, "Thrash who?" He said, "Thrash you!"

0:33:44 > 0:33:47# And I stood back there astounded at his flow of repartee

0:33:47 > 0:33:49LAUGHTER

0:33:53 > 0:33:55# He said, "I know just what you thought"

0:33:55 > 0:33:57# I said, "Who thought?" He said, "You thought"

0:33:57 > 0:34:00# I said, "Me?" He said, "Yes, you thought I was small

0:34:06 > 0:34:08# "So in future, be more careful"

0:34:08 > 0:34:10# I said, "Bet your life I will be"

0:34:10 > 0:34:13# Then he got back in his car and that was all. #

0:34:13 > 0:34:15LAUGHTER

0:34:22 > 0:34:23LAUGHTER

0:34:26 > 0:34:29# A week ago today, I went to supper with a girlfriend

0:34:30 > 0:34:33# She's the girlfriend when her husband's not about

0:34:33 > 0:34:37# Well, I knew that it was risky and that anything might happen

0:34:37 > 0:34:39# If he suddenly came in and found us out

0:34:43 > 0:34:46# Still, we sat and had some supper then we polished off the gin

0:34:47 > 0:34:50# Then she said, "My husband is listening at the door"

0:34:50 > 0:34:52LAUGHTER

0:34:57 > 0:35:02# I said, "Let the blighter listen Come on, let's have one more kiss

0:35:02 > 0:35:05# "If he comes in here I'll smash him on the jaw" #

0:35:09 > 0:35:13# The door then opened widely with a crash

0:35:19 > 0:35:24# And he stood there like a giant as he curled his huge moustache

0:35:29 > 0:35:31# He said, "What was that that you said?

0:35:31 > 0:35:34# I said, "Who said?" He said, "You said"

0:35:34 > 0:35:37# "Me?" "Yes, you"

0:35:40 > 0:35:43# He said, "I really ought to kill you." I said, "Kill who?"

0:35:43 > 0:35:46# He said, "Kill you." I said, "Me?" He said, "Yes, you."

0:35:46 > 0:35:48# I said, "But how?" He said, "You'll see!"

0:35:51 > 0:35:53# I said, "But you'd be hung for murder"

0:35:53 > 0:35:55# He said, "Who would?" I said, "You would"

0:35:55 > 0:35:57# He said, "Me?" I said, "Yes, you"

0:35:57 > 0:35:59# He said, "You're right

0:36:02 > 0:36:05# "I shall have to think that over" I said, "What?"

0:36:05 > 0:36:06# He said, "What you said

0:36:06 > 0:36:08# I said, "Yes. I'll be going. Goodnight!" #

0:36:21 > 0:36:23Now, tonight, ladies and gentlemen,

0:36:23 > 0:36:27I have had one or two requests from thousands of people.

0:36:30 > 0:36:34It appears they require me to resurrect,

0:36:34 > 0:36:39if that is indeed the right word to use,

0:36:39 > 0:36:43a very famous old jazz song entitled Birth Of The Blues.

0:36:43 > 0:36:47As a matter of fact, all my friends here agree with this gentleman...

0:36:48 > 0:36:51..and so with the aid of my friends tonight I'm going to render

0:36:51 > 0:36:54this song for you.

0:36:54 > 0:36:57Just like you render fat down in a frying pan.

0:37:03 > 0:37:06# They took the breeze from the trees

0:37:08 > 0:37:11# Whispering weird and very wonderful melodies

0:37:11 > 0:37:13# Yes, folks

0:37:15 > 0:37:17# And they made it the start of the blues... #

0:37:23 > 0:37:26Here was me singing away with feeling in the bosom,

0:37:26 > 0:37:29giving it everything I have, the orchestra were all loud,

0:37:29 > 0:37:31too quick and everything went wrong!

0:37:33 > 0:37:37Ha-ha ha-ha.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39Yes.

0:37:41 > 0:37:43What happened?

0:37:45 > 0:37:49# And from a jail came the wail

0:37:51 > 0:37:54# Of a poor little downhearted frail

0:37:54 > 0:37:55# And they took...

0:37:57 > 0:37:59# B-B-Blues! #

0:38:01 > 0:38:03You couldn't care less, could you?

0:38:06 > 0:38:09I'll tell you what I'll do here, this is extraordinary,

0:38:09 > 0:38:10I will do two things at once.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12I walk up and down and sing the middle part of this

0:38:12 > 0:38:15chorus at the same time in strict rhythm.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20Yes. They don't believe it.

0:38:20 > 0:38:21AUDIENCE: No!

0:38:21 > 0:38:25I'm going to do it because I tell you, we had to do this in the Army.

0:38:25 > 0:38:29Two things at once in the Army. During the war, yes.

0:38:29 > 0:38:32Two things at once on the word of command.

0:38:34 > 0:38:37Of course, if the bombs were falling often we did three.

0:38:47 > 0:38:52# From a whippoorwill out on the hill

0:38:52 > 0:38:56# They took a new note

0:38:56 > 0:39:00# Pushed it through a horn till it was worn

0:39:02 > 0:39:05# Into a lovely new blue note

0:39:05 > 0:39:08# An' then they nursed it

0:39:08 > 0:39:10# They rehearsed it

0:39:10 > 0:39:14# And then gave out the news

0:39:15 > 0:39:18# That the "Southland"

0:39:19 > 0:39:22# Gave birth to the blues!

0:39:23 > 0:39:28# The "Southland" Gave birth to the blues. #

0:39:44 > 0:39:49In tribute to the versatility of Miss Vesta Victoria,

0:39:49 > 0:39:53once again, the Players Theatre plus Miss Doreen Hermitage!

0:39:56 > 0:40:00# Oh, it's all right in the summertime

0:40:00 > 0:40:04# In the summertime it's lovely

0:40:04 > 0:40:07# While my old man's painting hard

0:40:07 > 0:40:11# I'm posing in the old back yard

0:40:11 > 0:40:14# But, oh, oh, in the wintertime

0:40:14 > 0:40:17# It's another thing, you know

0:40:17 > 0:40:21# With a little red nose and very little clothes

0:40:21 > 0:40:25# And the stormy winds do blow, oh, oh,

0:40:25 > 0:40:28# And the stormy winds do blow. #

0:40:30 > 0:40:34# At our house not long ago a lodger came to stay

0:40:34 > 0:40:39# At first I thought I'd like to drive him right away

0:40:39 > 0:40:43# But soon he proved himself to be so very good and kind

0:40:43 > 0:40:48# That like my dear mamma I quite made up my little mind

0:40:48 > 0:40:52# Our lodger's such a nice young man

0:40:52 > 0:40:55- # Such a nice young man is he - Such a nice man

0:40:55 > 0:40:59# So good, so kind

0:40:59 > 0:41:03- # To all our family - All the family

0:41:03 > 0:41:06# And he's never going to leave us

0:41:06 > 0:41:10# Oh, dear, oh, dear, no

0:41:10 > 0:41:14# He's such a good, goody goody man

0:41:14 > 0:41:17# Mamma told me so

0:41:17 > 0:41:21# He used to come and court his little Mary-Ann

0:41:21 > 0:41:25# I used to think that he was my young man

0:41:25 > 0:41:29# But Mother caught his eye and they got married on the sly

0:41:29 > 0:41:33- # Now I have call him... - Father! #

0:41:33 > 0:41:38# And Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow

0:41:38 > 0:41:41# Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow

0:41:41 > 0:41:45# I've got a little cat I am very fond of that

0:41:45 > 0:41:49# But I'd rather have a bow-wow-wow

0:41:49 > 0:41:55# Yes, I'd rather have a bow-wow-wow!

0:41:55 > 0:41:58# Wow-wow! #

0:42:02 > 0:42:05# Let's all go to the music hall

0:42:05 > 0:42:08# Where the show is gay and bright

0:42:08 > 0:42:12# Let's all go to the music hall

0:42:18 > 0:42:23# Or whether you sit in a red plush stall

0:43:11 > 0:43:15# John took me round to see his mother

0:43:15 > 0:43:19# His mother, his mother

0:43:19 > 0:43:23# And while he introduced us to each other

0:43:23 > 0:43:27# She weighed up everything I had on

0:43:27 > 0:43:31# She put me through a cross-examination

0:43:31 > 0:43:35# I fairly boiled with aggravation

0:43:35 > 0:43:39# Then she shook her head, looked at me and said

0:43:39 > 0:43:43# "Poor John, poor John." #

0:43:43 > 0:43:45"Poor John" indeed!

0:43:45 > 0:43:48# I'm in a nice bit of trouble, I confess

0:43:48 > 0:43:52# Somebody with me has had a game

0:43:52 > 0:43:56# I should by now be a proud and happy bride

0:43:56 > 0:43:59# But I still have to keep my single name

0:43:59 > 0:44:03# I was proposed to by Obadiah Binks

0:44:03 > 0:44:07# In a very gentlemanly way

0:44:07 > 0:44:09# Gave him all my money

0:44:09 > 0:44:11# So that he could buy the home

0:44:11 > 0:44:15# And punctually at twelve o'clock today

0:44:17 > 0:44:21# There was I, waiting at the church

0:44:21 > 0:44:25# Waiting at the church, waiting at the church

0:44:25 > 0:44:29# When I found he'd left me in the lurch

0:44:29 > 0:44:32# Oh, how it did upset me!

0:44:33 > 0:44:37# All at once, he sent me round a note

0:44:37 > 0:44:41# Here's the very note, this is what he wrote

0:44:41 > 0:44:46# "Can't get away to marry you today

0:44:46 > 0:44:49# "My wife won't let me!"

0:44:49 > 0:44:53# There was I, waiting at the church

0:45:28 > 0:45:32# All in a day my heart grew sad

0:45:32 > 0:45:36# Misfortune came my way

0:45:36 > 0:45:40# I had to learn the old bitter truth

0:45:40 > 0:45:43# All in a single day

0:45:43 > 0:45:48# The man what I worshipped as I loved my life

0:45:48 > 0:45:54# After him saying he'd make me his wife

0:45:54 > 0:45:59# Courted another young girl on the sly
