doria

what is there to know about him

only what all the rest of us know my

portrayal

wonderfully that his wife is a very

beautiful woman

didn't you say

that she was a polish woman that he

picked up in russia yeah that's what i

had

if she's as beautiful as they say she is

he must have hypnotized her into

me and o leeption

i do love you so far

oh please

please

bengali

i've tried but i ah

but you know very well why you can't

it is the magnificent young englander

the head of the purity brigade

sargala had

a stiff neck little believe

[Music]

what is

with his silly paints in one hand

and his twiddling brushes

of pig's bristles in the other

what is the amount to

compared to svengali

ah he paints his silly pictures and send

them to london where they hang up on the

wall

like

dead soldiers on parade

and the people pass in a long procession

yawn

svengali will go to london himself

where he will be all alone on the

platform

and princesses

and countesses

and serene highnesses will fling him

their jewels

and applaud him

and invite him to their palaces

and he will take you with him

i'll never look at them

duh we could be so happy

but i

i don't like palaces

no

nor anything else that other women like

except the little bit

look at me in the eyes

open your eyes

oh

i do love you

ah close your eyes

i

don't see it

[Music]

you are beautiful

my

manufactured love

but it is only svengali

talking to himself again

did you get tickets for the concert

tonight there won't be any concert

tonight

svengali and his company have cancelled

the engagement and gone away

and where are you going

after him

spengal is not running away from you

not from me taffy

but from the fear of the day when his

spell over truby will be broken as it

was for a moment last night

uh

and what will you do when you catch up

with him

just wait till the day comes

i'll get her back

if i have to follow them around the

world

[Music]

hey

[Music]

he'll be here but he's already one hour

late if people are tearing down the

house when he's ready he'll be here oh

i must go make an explanation

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

you're not made up yet and they are

waiting for the concert to begin

waiting is good for such a reference

[Music]

more

[Music]

[Music]

what's the matter

you're not sick

yeah

i am sick i cannot go on but what about

love bengali

has she ever appeared without me

you mean you refuse to give the concert

again

yeah then there will never be another

one if philosophy does not sing tonight

her career in europe is ended

i tell you

i am sick all right then i am through

from now on you can manage yourself into

the poor house

every place you have broken your

engagements until there is another

theater that will contract for las vegas

appearance

are you trying to tell me what to do i

would like to tell you what to go but

there isn't any place for you except the

dives and now that's where you belong

[Music]

go tell that rabble

last bengali

me maestro

i will give you

a military funeral

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

won't you please maestro cancel the

engagement i could go in and tell them

all right but that spell you had tonight

it was the worst you ever had and i am

afraid maybe

[Music]

wait

so

so

so

[Music]

ah calm yourself

i did not come here to fight do you

expect me to sit down and talk quietly

i think it would be as well for all of

us

after i explain

sit down sit up

have a drink

the champagne will

clear the atmosphere

[Music]

now we can talk like old friends what do

you want

the alarm

nothing from you

what do you

after tonight

you probably would not want to

what do you mean what are you driving at

oh nothing mysterious

you're taking trilby back to paris my

dear young friend

that is for her to decide

[Music]

to trilby

and her

freedom

europe at tremendous expense

emperors assisted by the great maestro

van gaali

appreciation
