Speaking of Cinderella - If the Shoe Fits

Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Lorraine Tuttle and I have been having a little argument as to the relative merits Having a little discussion regarding two different schools of literary thought. I've been maintaining a surprise. You may call me Vincent. Oh, thank you. Vincent.

I've been maintaining that our whole lives are enriched by the warmth and beauty of romanticism. Romanticism, I deal with Lorraine, is for those weak, lily-livered individuals who haven't the courage to face the realities of life. Realism is life. Now I'll take Eugene O'Neill any day in preference to Winnie the Pooh. And I'll take Cinderella any day rather than Heder

Gabler. Cinderella. Now she's exactly what I mean. A smudge-faced juvenile delinquent, if you ask me. It's only one of the most beautiful fairy tales ever told. I defy any realist to Tell us such a moving story.

Oh, you would, eh? Well, very well. To prove my point, I'll tell the real story of Cinderella. Very well, but ladies first. Please. To prove my point, I'll tell the romantic story of Cinderella.
