1935 THE SIREN 1935 Movie Skit One evening when The Million Dollar Babyi, was walking along Flirtation Walkf' she met David Copperfield driving All the King's Horses. Hello, 'Bright Eyesf i' he said, why do you look so troubled? Remember there is 'Happiness Ahead., U Yes, I knowfl she replied, but Fm frightened at 'The Return of the Terrorf and 'The Mighty Barnum' just said that there was a 'Death On the Diamond., 7' ls that true? said David. ln that case we must find 'The Good Fairyf W They went to Bordertown and found The Good Fairy talking to the SL Louis Kid and the Grand Old Girl. When they heard the newcomer's story, the Kid said: We have also been informed of 'The Return of the Terror' by the 'White Coekatoof The only thing that we can do is to consult 'Father Brown, Detective' He usually has good ideas and perhaps he can find 'The Perfect Clue., H They found Father Brown chatting with The Little Colonel, and the latter became very much excited. Did you know that there has been 'Murder At the Vanities? she cried. Whatl said David, after 'Our Great Expectationsf the terror has committed another murder? We thought that perhaps after the 'Death On the Diamondf he would stop. This crime must be solved for, after all, everyone has 'The Right To Live., 'The Marines Are Cominglm' cried The Million Dollar Baby. I just picked up the telephone receiver to see if there were any further developments, and T heard them tell the 'West Point of the Air' to stand by. That means that we must get busyf' said the Good Fairy, we must not let them see us puzzled or they will make fun of us. 'Money Means Nothingf but 'l'll Sell Anything' to helpf' The bell rang, and when the Grand Old Girlw opened the door, there stood Clive of India! 'The Iron Duke' sent nie to tell you that the 'Mysterious Mr. Wong' was just killed, but before he died, he confessed that he was the murderer. He loved 'The Richest Girl In the World,' but she wouldnltlmarry him because 'She Had To Choosef and she picked the 'Lottery Loverf 'Have a Heartf 7' said Mr. Wong, but she refused to have anything to do with him. All right, he said. 'Money Means Nothing, and perhaps, after all, I have 'The Winning Ticket' 7, Then he tried to win 'The Gay Divorcee' or 'Anne of Green Gables,' but they both turned him down, the first for 'Men ln Whiteg' the latter for 'The Six Day Bike Rider., This is the end,'7 cried Wong, and he had a Change of Heart and began to murder everyone. And thatf' said Clive, is the solution to all these murders. Weill said David Copperfield. 'Come On, Marinesli 7' shouted the SL Louis Kid, That's taken care of so now let's all go to the 'Hollywood Party' for 'The Night Is Young' yet. F 29
