opening in Washington well you do you want me to you're sure I want you didn't you wouldn't Orson Welles is a great friend of mine and he when he first started in the theater he did all the weird weird plays wonderful place but he used platforms that came up out of nowhere in revolving stages and all kinds of things that hadn't been done before and they were doing some very extravagant play I forget I think it was a Shakespearean play matter of fact I think it's a combination of three Shakespearean plays and at one point listen hey at one point me he had 50 soldiers with crusade outfits no it's a helmets march on to the stage and with bows and arrows you know and they pulled their bows and arrows and shot the arrows into the wings where there was a big board and and it had all been alright you know or during rehearsal and they opened in Washington very very formal opening with lots of senators and little old ladies and it was their black time and these 50 soldiers had stand up fifties always came marching out you know and they stood and pull their bows and arrows and just as they pull the bows and arrows somebody push the button to turn the revolving stage 50 arrows went into the audience I think it says people think guys get out of there he's a marvelous town mama says I remember one can I tell him a but Oscar the Venge you know oh yes I've had the pleasure the Oscar event came to Paramount Studios to make a movie and he he always wears a blue suit that he's worn for about a hundred and eight years you know same blue suit in the same dark tie back time and he was it was his first day at Paramount and he was sort of shuffling an arm you know with his pigeon toes and wondering what stage to go to and so on and he saw in the distance a a great big man and come out with a Hawaiian shirt on a white pants and sandals and big black glasses are eight scripts under each arm and a bunch of secretaries back with papers just flying after him and as he this group drew nearer to Oscar he realized that it was awesome well you know the Hawaiian certainly gone and he didn't say he just looked and as Orson passed Oscar he looked Oscar said hello Oscar I hear you
