"But, now it’s time for "Follyland," the first number -"
""Waiting for you" they called this one -"
"In "The Waiter and the Guest" Bobby Howes and Tim O’Connor wait for no one."
"Dashing Vera Bryer, after singing about "a little bit of trouble" gave our camera no trouble at all - it was a pleasure -!"
"Especially when Vera repeated the dance for our "slow" camera -"
"Estelle Brody and Rupert Rogers were fast workers in the next -"
"And "Pompadour" brought home the beauty and grace of long past days -"
"Just then they persuaded Tex McLeod to spin a few yarns - and a rope -"
"Eve Tex himself, however, can’t spin a rope like our "slow motion" camera can -"
"Then Tim O’Connor gave us "Just a dance". (It seemed more like a hurricane!)"
