Hey!

You know, what's exciting
about being in the '20s?

- Everything,

the glamor, the fashions, the wild fads,

movie sheiks and shivas,
speakeasies, jazz.

But you know what's the most fun?

Being a flapper.

For my iron deficiency.

Of course, it is quite a challenge too

because every flapper has to
be as daring as Clara Bow,

as world weary as Zelda Fitzgerald,

and vampy enough to drive men
absolutely mad with desire.

Of course, it can give you
a terrible headache too.

I mean, a flapper's life is
nothing if it isn't fast,

exciting, gay, dangerous, carefree,

and just a little decadent.

And if you don't feel
faint at least twice a day,

well, honey, you're
just not doing it right.

For instance, tell you what
happened to me just yesterday.

It all started, the first
thing in the morning

at the crack of noon.

(phone rings)

Hello.

- Darling, it's me.

I've got a swell idea.

Why don't I throw a party
tonight and we'll get married?

- Well, that depends on who you are.

- Reggie, you silly goose.

- Oh, sweet Reggie, I have
such a busy day already.

I don't know how I'll be
able to fit in a marriage.

Anyway, if I marry you, what
will I tell all the others?

- If you won't marry me,

I'll jump off the Woolworth Building.

- That's what I'll tell them.

I'll see you later.

Bye-bye.

I just got to hear Rus Costello.

- If that's your decision,

I'll go to California
and start a new career.

- You must think I'm a real dumb Dora

marrying Reggie when a ritzy
guy like you, Bobby Jones,

has a crush on me.

- That's okay.

But I'll still be able to give
you golf lessons, won't I?

- Oh, sure.

but we're gonna have
to start using a club.

(Mitzi screams)

- Oh, Rhett, sweetie!

- It's okay.

You don't have to let me down easy.

I heard about you and Reggie at halftime.

- I'm so sorry, Rhett.

But a big football hero like you

will always do just the swell.

- No, without you, I don't
care if I have a score again.

- The flapper takes great pride

in wearing the correct outfit
for the correct occasion,

as is the case tonight where I find myself

at the world's heavyweight
championship fight

between none other than
the champion Eugene Tunney,

and the challenger, Jack Dempsey.

It seems like a wonderful fight.

And of course, I feel right at
home in this matching outfit

with pockets for simply everything.

Notice the tickets.

You see, in sports,
accessories are the things

(men cheer)

that make you a roaring success.

- [Announcer] Tunney's down!

But wait, Dempsey will go to a corner.

- Please, please, I
can't even hear myself.

It's something about a long count.

Well, anyway, back to the fight.

I wouldn't wanna miss anything.

(group cheers)

Hello!

This is your very own
jazz baby, Glenda Larock.

at Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theatre

where the in look is the
it look, with big eyes.

- [Group] Whoa!

- Bobbed hair.

- [Group] Oh!

- And bee-stung lips.

- [Group] Oh.

- This simple little
long-waisted chiffon chief

is completely at home here
at Grauman's footprint

where every star tries to
leave a very good impression

as I will today of the
famous Glenda Larock.

dimpled knees!

(group applauds)

And my assistant will assist me.

Thank you, Harry.

Here it comes.

Oh, oh!

They could have warmed the
cement up a little bit.

(group laughs)

Well, here goes!

Oh!

(group applauds)
Well, I've made it!

Harry.

Harry.

- Are you stuck, Glenda?

- Yeah.

How the heck do you spell Larock?

(laid back music)

Welcome.

We are attending a posh garden party

in the garden of Mr. Louie Posh.

Now Mr. Posh is one of New
Jersey's leading citizens

and benefactors having
been very successful

in the business of...

- Importing.

Chemicals.

- Yeah, by the barrel or by the case.

As you can see,

New Jersey doesn't have to
take a rumble seat to Paris

or even France when it
comes to expensive fashions,

as is obvious by this very classy

multi-pastel handkerchief
dress in flower print,

with genuine silk rose
to accent its smartness.

- Smells good too.

- My scent.

Also, please notice the
stylish dropped waist.

Not mine, the dress's.

The matching chiffon cape with hanky hem.

And to make the outfit complete,
gloves and a picture hat.

Yes,

life is good.

(audience applauds)

Yeah, ah!

- Champagne?

- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you.

- Oh, it's you.

You may have it.

- No, you take the last one.

I'm sure it's flat.

- You're right.

(dramatic tango music)

I love to tango.

- I don't blame you.

- No matter who it's with.

Isn't that a new violinist?

- Is that what you call him?

- What do you think of his execution?

- I'm in favor of it.

I haven't seen you lately.

- I've been rather busy.

- Really?

- Lindbergh begged me to
see his plane off to Paris,

the Spirit of something or other.

- Flying to Paris?

He's mad.

France is ghastly this time of year.

- And you, what have you been
doing with yourself lately?

- The usual, following the ponies.

- Not too closely, I hope. (laughs)

Tell me, how was the
season in South Hampton?

- Pretty much the same.

- Hmm.

- Googie was grouchy.

Buffy was huffy.

Sookie was surly.

And Tweaky was absolutely freaky.

- Nothing changes.

- Thank God for tradition.

I did go to a rather amusing party.

- You did?

- Yes, I did.

- Really?

So did I.

- Did you now?

- Yes.

- Where?

- You tell first.

- I went to the Vanderbilts.

- Really?

- We wore nothing but white.

- I went to Isadora's.

We wore nothing at all.

- Shocking.

- Chilling.

- Aren't you carrying
this flaming youth thing

a bit too far?

- Oh, I hope so.

- Vamp.

- Hmm, did you hear when
the president of the YMCA

issued a warning, pet and die young?

- Good heavens.

I hope you're not in any danger.

- And you?

- What?

- Are you still drinking
the way you used to?

- I believe so.

Grasp the glass firmly, bend the elbow,

and aim carefully for the mouth.

- And don't grieve too
closely to an open flame.

- Actually, I don't
drink the way I used to.

I never drink bathtub gin
without straining it first.

- Swallow your rubber ducky, eh.

- How droll.

My soap on a rope.

Shall we leave?

- Of course.

- Together?

- Why not?

- What about your husband?

- You're my husband.

You know what I mean?

I seen a gal the other night

I want you to go and see her.

I want you to spend your money here first.

You know what I mean, huh?

But then I want you to go see this dame.

- Well, thank you, thank you, thank.

I always wanted to live in the '20s,

and I finally got to do
it, and for a whole hour.

Thanks to my good friends at Kraft,

and of course, Carl Reiner,
Linda Hopkins, and Ken Berry.

They were swell.

And listen, thank you out
there for putting up with me

while I was a flapper.

Which reminds me, I've got to
get all those gorgeous dresses

back to my mother.
