00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:13,(narrator) The Sarah Siddons Award
is perhaps unknown to you.

00:01:13,657 --> 00:01:16,It has been spared
the sensational publicity

00:01:16,660 --> 00:01:20,of such questionable honors
as the Pulitzer Prize

00:01:20,164 --> 00:01:25,and those awards presented annually
by that film society.

00:01:25,127 --> 00:01:29,The distinguished-looking gentleman
is an extremely old actor.

00:01:29,173 --> 00:01:32,Being an actor,
he will go on speaking for some time.

00:01:32,676 --> 00:01:35,It is not important
that you hear what he says.

00:01:35,846 --> 00:01:40,However, it is important that you know
where you are and why you are here.

00:01:40,184 --> 00:01:43,This is the dining hall
of the Sarah Siddons Society.

00:01:43,854 --> 00:01:49,It is the annual banquet and presentation
of the highest honor our theatre has:

00:01:49,485 --> 00:01:53,the Sarah Siddons Award for
Distinguished Achievement.

00:01:53,197 --> 00:01:56,These hallowed walls,
indeed many of these faces,

00:01:56,158 --> 00:02:00,have looked upon Modjeska,
Ada Rehan and Minnie Fiske.

00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:03,Mansfield's voice filled this room.

00:02:03,707 --> 00:02:07,It is unlikely that the windows
have been opened since his death.

00:02:07,836 --> 00:02:12,The minor awards, as you can see,
have already been presented.

00:02:12,549 --> 00:02:16,Minor awards are for such
as the writer and director,

00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:18,since they merely construct a tower

00:02:18,889 --> 00:02:22,so that the world can applaud
a light which flashes on top of it.

00:02:22,893 --> 00:02:27,And no brighter light has ever
dazzled the eye than Eve Harrington.

00:02:27,397 --> 00:02:30,Eve... But more of Eve later.

00:02:30,859 --> 00:02:32,All about Eve, in fact.

00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:35,To those who do not read,

00:02:35,113 --> 00:02:38,attend the theatre,
listen to unsponsored radio programs

00:02:38,909 --> 00:02:41,or know anything of the world
in which you live,

00:02:41,745 --> 00:02:45,it is perhaps necessary
to introduce myself.

00:02:45,249 --> 00:02:47,My name is Addison DeWitt.

00:02:47,501 --> 00:02:53,My native habitat is the theatre.
In it, I toil not. Neither do I spin.

00:02:53,257 --> 00:02:55,I ** a critic and commentator.

00:02:55,884 --> 00:02:58,I ** essential to the theatre.

00:02:58,595 --> 00:03:00,This is Karen Richards.

00:03:00,764 --> 00:03:05,She is the wife of a playwright,
therefore of the theatre by marriage.

00:03:05,394 --> 00:03:09,Nothing in her background should have
brought her closer to the stage

00:03:09,565 --> 00:03:11,than Row E.

00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:14,However,
during her senior year at Radcliffe,

00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:16,Lloyd Richards lectured on the drama.

00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:21,The following year
Karen became Mrs. Lloyd Richards.

00:03:21,243 --> 00:03:24,There are, in general,
two types of theatrical producers.

00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:29,One has a great many wealthy friends
who will risk a tax-deductible loss.

00:03:29,626 --> 00:03:32,This type is interested in art.

00:03:32,129 --> 00:03:36,The other is one to whom each production
means potential ruin or fortune.

00:03:36,633 --> 00:03:38,This type is out to make a buck.

00:03:38,969 --> 00:03:41,Meet Max Fabian.

00:03:41,263 --> 00:03:43,He is the producer of the play

00:03:43,098 --> 00:03:47,which has won for Eve Harrington
the Sarah Siddons Award.

00:03:48,145 --> 00:03:51,Margo Channing is a star of the theatre.

00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:55,She made her first stage appearance at
the age of four

00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:57,in Midsummer Night's Dream.

00:03:57,779 --> 00:04:02,She played a fairy and entered,
quite unexpectedly, stark n***d.

00:04:02,492 --> 00:04:04,She has been a star ever since.

00:04:05,829 --> 00:04:09,Margo is a great star. A true star.

00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:13,She never was or will be
anything less or anything else.

00:04:14,755 --> 00:04:20,Having covered in tedious detail not only
the history of the Sarah Siddons Society,

00:04:20,636 --> 00:04:22,but also the history of acting

00:04:22,512 --> 00:04:26,since Thespis
first stepped out of the chorus line,

00:04:26,183 --> 00:04:30,our distinguished chairman has finally
arrived at our reason for being here.

00:04:30,646 --> 00:04:36,I have been proud and privileged
to have spent my life in the theatre,

00:04:37,027 --> 00:04:42,a poor player that struts
and frets his hour upon the stage,

00:04:42,699 --> 00:04:45,and I've been honored to be, for 40 years,

00:04:45,702 --> 00:04:49,chief prompter
of the Sarah Siddons Society.

00:04:50,707 --> 00:04:55,39 times have I placed in deserving hands

00:04:55,671 --> 00:04:59,this highest honor the theatre knows.

00:04:59,383 --> 00:05:02,Surely no actor is older than I.

00:05:02,386 --> 00:05:05,I've earned my place out of the sun.

00:05:05,097 --> 00:05:06,(laughter)

00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:12,And never before has this award gone to
anyone younger than its recipient tonight.

00:05:12,521 --> 00:05:16,How fitting that it should
pass from my hands to hers.

00:05:16,900 --> 00:05:20,Such young hands. Such a young lady.

00:05:20,904 --> 00:05:25,Young in years, but whose heart
is as old as the theatre.

00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:27,Some of us are privileged to know her.

00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:31,We have seen
beyond the beauty and artistry

00:05:31,498 --> 00:05:34,that have made her name
resound through the nation.

00:05:34,835 --> 00:05:38,We know her humility, her devotion,

00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,her loyalty to her art,

00:05:41,049 --> 00:05:45,her love, her deep and abiding love for us,

00:05:45,721 --> 00:05:50,for what we are
and what we do, the theatre.

00:05:50,892 --> 00:05:53,She has had one wish,

00:05:53,395 --> 00:05:56,one prayer, one dream,

00:05:57,274 --> 00:05:59,to belong to us.

00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:02,Tonight her dream has come true,

00:06:02,529 --> 00:06:06,and henceforth
we shall dream the same of her.

00:06:06,450 --> 00:06:11,Ladies and gentlemen, for distinguished
achievement in the theatre,

00:06:11,288 --> 00:06:15,the Sarah Siddons Award
to Miss Eve Harrington.

00:06:39,483 --> 00:06:40,Bravo!

00:06:55,582 --> 00:06:59,(Addison) Eve.
Eve, the golden girl. The cover girl.

00:06:59,669 --> 00:07:04,The girl next door, the girl on the moon.
Time has been good to Eve.

00:07:04,174 --> 00:07:09,Life goes where she goes. She's been
profiled, covered, revealed, reported,

00:07:09,429 --> 00:07:12,what she eats and what
she wears and whom she knows

00:07:12,474 --> 00:07:15,and where she was and
when and where she's going.

00:07:15,685 --> 00:07:17,Eve.

00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:20,You all know all about Eve.

00:07:21,149 --> 00:07:23,What can there be to know
that you don't know?

00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:27,(Karen) When was it? How long?

00:07:27,864 --> 00:07:30,It seems a lifetime ago.

00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:33,Lloyd always said that in the theatre
a lifetime was a season

00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:35,and a season a lifetime.

00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:38,It's June now. That was early October.

00:07:40,210 --> 00:07:42,Only last October.

00:07:44,214 --> 00:07:47,It was a drizzly night.
I remember I asked the taxi to wait.

00:07:54,516 --> 00:07:55,Where was she?

00:07:56,059 --> 00:08:00,Strange. I'd become so accustomed
to seeing her there night after night,

00:08:00,814 --> 00:08:03,I found myself looking for a girl
I'd never spoken to.

00:08:04,067 --> 00:08:06,Wondering where she was.

00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:14,Mrs. Richards?

00:08:15,245 --> 00:08:17,There you are.

00:08:17,747 --> 00:08:22,It seemed odd, suddenly,
your not being here.

00:08:22,085 --> 00:08:25,-Why should you think I wouldn't be?
-Why should you be?

00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:27,Six nights a week for weeks

00:08:27,424 --> 00:08:30,of watching even Margo Channing
enter and leave a theatre.

00:08:30,385 --> 00:08:33,-You don't mind my speaking to you?
-Not at all.

00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:36,I've seen you so often.
It took every bit of courage I could raise.

00:08:37,017 --> 00:08:39,To speak to just a playwright's wife?

00:08:39,686 --> 00:08:42,I'm the lowest form of celebrity.

00:08:42,230 --> 00:08:46,You're Margo Channing's best friend.
You and your husband are always with her.

00:08:46,610 --> 00:08:50,And Mr. Sampson. What's he like?

00:08:50,530 --> 00:08:53,Bill Sampson? He's a director.

00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:56,-He's the best.
-He'll agree with you.

00:08:56,369 --> 00:09:01,Tell me. What do you do in between
the time Margo goes in and comes out?

00:09:01,541 -->...
