Yeah, she does.

Wonderful.

Thank you.

You got your box in the camera.

I don't care.

Well, you do this.

You want this cake, Lou? Yeah.

You don't have to mow it like water.

Oh, you want this cake? Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Are you filming right now? You're looking.

Where is this woman? Where is this great lady? Thank you very much.

And where is Ruth? She's dancing up front here.

Oh, it's her picture.

Yes, it's her picture.

I'm the cake.

The picture's on the cake.

You're about to have one? No, it's her picture.

What's it, a snapshot? Don't tell me you're filming.

I sure lose a shoot.

I don't understand.

It's the cake here.

It's the cake.

It is, but...

Oh, but charming.

Sorry.

Okay.

I'm quite in my tech.

This is the way to shine.

I'm very much like that.

This is my hands.

She's got a film file on the way.

I see.

We don't have.

We just know that you were on the phone.

She's not making it.

You know her hand.

I'm just going to go on the phone.

She's a beautiful hot spot.

I also have the first row with a lot of people.

I said I wrote it.

I wrote it.

I wrote it.

I wrote it.

I wrote it.

For tickets.

Last call for tickets.

We have a raffle going on.

In a few minutes we'll be giving away those three trips.

Larry.

Please keep in mind.

Do you want to add for the sandwich? This raffle is one of the various fundraising campaigns that Rachel Ruth Bates has and conducts for the purposes of the scholarship foundation, for the scholarship fund.

I have plenty.

What? Thank you.

That's why he's the artistic director.

Yeah, all right.

That's very good.

In any case, I was trying to remind you all that it was not our intention to bring you here for our raffle.

It was our intention to bring you here to enjoy the company of Ruth Page and to celebrate her birthday.

We thank you for having come.

However, so long as you are here, I would like to remind you that there is a scholarship fund.

The Friends of the Ruth Page School of Dance is an organization of parents, in fact, that is based for one purpose and one purpose only, in addition to parties, that is to keep up a scholarship fund.

In order to maintain that scholarship fund going, we must have fundraising campaigns from time to time.

One of those is this raffle today.

So it is with that thought in mind that I ask you to please help us if you can and participate.

You'll be lucky.

And even if you are not one of the winners, you are a winner at heart because you will have contributed to a very, very worthwhile cause.

That is the cause of helping Chicago's youth, those who are talented and interested to come to the School of Dance at the Ruth Page Foundation, and be trained.

Those who are not capable of paying their way, we are here to help them.

And that is what the Ruth Page or the Friends of the Ruth Page School of Dance and the scholarship fund is for, to help those who are not able to help themselves.

So with that having been said, if you are still here, and if you are interested, please raise your hand and we'll have one of our scholars come around and be very happy to give you one of our tickets.

They are $20.

In two to three minutes, we will be drawing those tickets.

The party's never free.

Forgive us, we're going to leave you.

The organization that normally operates a fine Swiss watch is running into a slight problem.

The treasurer tells me he's still counting.

We have to ensure that there is equity at this.

So we have to ensure that all 600 stubs are counted for.

And so what's happening right now is that we are counting stubs.

So that we know that all 600 are there and no one is left out.

So I'll have a bath and shower.

Four consecutive days of limited travel in the British rail system.

Four consecutive days of limited travel in the London Underground and Red Bus system.

What? It says the London Underground and Red Bus system.

Must be some sort of a subway.

I wouldn't care about that.

I don't know what it is, I have a bit of an idea.

In -flight meals and beverages and round trip transfers between airport and London Hotel.

That's very nice.

Or an equivalent in cash, in case you can't I call.

Oh, that sounds nice.

The equivalency is $1 ,700.

$1 ,700 for a $20 or more.

That's good.

I hope you're lucky and get a hold of yourself.

We've got the lucky one going to Hawaii.

Well, I like the trip pretty much myself.

Me too.

Congratulations, you are the winner of a trip to Hawaii.

Or the cash equivalent of $1 ,400.

You're entitled to a round trip airfare by the major airline, the island of Wahoo.

Wahoo? Round trip, okay.

Seven nice accommodations in one of the following hotels.

Oh, the choices here are Palahowana American, Miramar, Hot River Surf, Hot River, the Sheraton Moana, Waikiki Beach Funder, Waikiki Sea Claws.

This goes on and on.

Mega -Channel, you know, so there's some charges of police.

I'm going to win one myself.

However, I'm not always the best one.

Let's see what's going to happen to the lucky winner going to the Bahamas.

Congratulations.

Congratulations, you are the winner of a trip for two to the Bahamas.

Or the cash equivalent of $800.

You are entitled to the following round trip airfare by a worldwide airlines, charter jet service, seven nights hotel accommodation at the Atlantic Beach, in -flight meals, hotel service, chargers, and hotel departure tests.

Some restrictions may apply.

Perhaps the arrangements may be a little bit better.

In any case, this is a complete package.

All you have to do once you have won this is go to the tour.

Mamuhay Tours Incorporated at 30 North Michigan Avenue in Hebrew.

They make all the arrangements for you.

Is that your leash if you're at the time that you wish an arranger vacation around this? Mr.

Hanson, I can't buy anymore tonight.

Please.

Happy birthday.

No, I don't dance.

I just buy time.

He keeps telling me to do this.

Sing a song.

Happy birthday.

Should we sing happy birthday to you or dance a little bit? No.

Well, well.

You see it there.

Here.

What are your stories? Well, I would like to invite you all, particularly you, Ruth, since it seems like I've been surprising you all night.

You know, we have restored the lounge at the school.

I'm going to give you that.

The old mural room is now no longer the mural room, it's now the pink room.

It's pink, yes.

It's pink.

However, we have restored it.

It's going to be once again reopened.

Refreshments will be available for the parents and children.

Where is it? Downstairs.

Down the stairs.

You know that building? Yes.

Down the stairs, you will have a little store downstairs, and all of the dancing and higher dance games will be on sale downstairs right through Christmas prices.

That's marvelous.

Again, all benefiting the scholarship fund.

That's marvelous.

Children will have a place to sit, a place to relax and talk.

Refreshments and other things.

You know, some heavy work over there.

That's great.

You know, when you're done with your dating classes and games, all the way down.

Oh, I certainly will.

Do you want to? That's great.

Hi, how are you, darling? Hello, I'm so glad you came.

I'm so glad you came.

Oh, thanks.

Who is it? Oh, I'm so glad you came.

He's the most marvelous dancer.

He comes to class, but I've never seen him dance.

You know, he came to class.

But then he gave a concert someplace, and he can do anything.

We have one of your scholars who is not only a great dancer, as you know, but he is also a great pianist.

He's a part of the entertainment for us.

Oh, good.

Michael Hansel.

The last ticket to be drawn was the first prize.

I wish you were gone.

Except that I would hate to lose you to that wall.

We could have gone together.

Yeah, we would have gone together.

It's very cheeky.

London? That you can't get in your rooms any place.
