Transcript

Jerry of the Circus! Jerry of the Circus! Oh, it takes a Russian to appreciate what the Ruzovs can do.

So Boris, you get another fan letter, yes? Yes, but Olga, this is much more than just a fan letter. Here we have a fine Russian lady who understands the true greatness of the Kuzaks. A Russian lady in this country?

Like she is in exile, and so when she sees the magnificent writing which we see... She writes you a love letter, yes? No, that is not like that at all. This not as dignified, worthy of a great lady who writes to a great artist?

Oh, so it is like that! So this lady must be clever to write so fascinating a note. What does she say, Monee? I will read it to you. At the top, she says, my dream writer.

It is, as I said. The lady is romantic. Yes, perhaps. But she is also dignified and wait, you'll listen. The Countess Rita Rimsakov... Not one of the wealthy families of Rimsico. 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, Bhut. This is the most important part.

Tonight I am giving a grand costume ball at my estate. A seat. Ah-ha, that's the sound of she is very wealthy. Algum? I am sorry, Boris. 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. V.A.T. entrance to the circus grounds at 11.30. The motive of the questions for the ball is childhood, so dress accordingly. That is quite simple. She is asking her guests to dress like children.
