[first lines]
Ed Opalsen : Ladies and gentlemen. When the Russian actress and dancer Natalya Dolzhenko made Salomé in 1908, she wore a necklace made of magnificent pearls given to her by the czar. Last week, at an auction in Paris, I paid three hundred thousand francs for that same pearl necklace. My wife is going to show it to you now.
[Margaret Opalsen steps up onto the stage and removes her stole, revealing the necklace]
Margaret Opalsen : Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, our new play premières here, at your beautiful theatre, next week, prior to a six month tour of America.
Ed Opalsen : Yes, Margaret is taking the leading part. And she will be wearing the czar's pearls at each and every performance.
Guest : Mr Opalsen! Don't the pearls get stolen in the course of the play.
Ed Opalsen : Yes they do, but that's in the play. They'll be under guard twenty-four hours a day. I think I can promise you that they're not going anywhere.
