You know, more and more millions of people are using vix atronal nosedrops to relieve this stress of head cold. Benefit by their experience and now dangerously yours. I am adventure in my name, Men of Travis, the highways, the fieways, the skyways of the world. I am the fire that burns in the heart of you, that makes men free and dare
and cant. I am dangerously yours. Come with me today to the Italy of the sixteenth century, a day when the smile or the frown of a duke would mean life or death, when ladies were a fragile, lovely prizes of the brave and dairy, and when the bravest and most dairy man in Florence was Ben vanuto Cellini, the firebrowder. Now see here, Ben vanuto Cellini, this is the sixth time you've been brought before me for roistering, and I'm tired of it. You may be one of the best silver smiths
in the world. You may even be, as you say, the best, but you are also a rascal a rogue and an unmitigated liar. Excellency, you warn me deeply with your words, I'll wound you with more than words if you don't behave yourself. But you don't understand I'm constantly being persecuted by my enemy. Oh not Cellini. Everyone in Florence can't be your enemy. If they are, then I would do well have you executed immediately.
Not everyone in Florence. It's a Paviano and his band of cutthrow Otaviano is one of my trusted friends, even if he did try to kill me three years ago, and a far better citizen of Florence than you. Then let a Tapiano finish the medlight and making for you to commemorate your greatness for all time to come medal. Hey Greatness, well, I'm going to spare you this time, Cellini, but one more scrape, one more scrape of any nature, and I'm going to have you beheaded. You may go now.
I'm seriously displeased with you, and I do not wish to look upon your face any longer. Take it out of my side quickly before I changed my mind, and deal severely with you. Yes, your excellency, Thank you, your excellency, Your kindness is the light of Florence. Your wisdom is the pride of Florence. Florence loves you, and I love Oh, get out, get out, by the way, Cellini. That little dancer at the cafe to Italia, who shall have her address tonight? Address? Who's
a oh yes, yes, thank you, Cellini. You're not a word to anyone, not a word. Good day, your excellency, your most gracious excellence, and mind you watch your step, watch your step well, Cellini, I was your interview with the Duke, that isn't you hope to Taviano? He pardoned me. You'd not be in trouble so often Untilini, if you'd serve my interests instead of your own and the Duke's as Duke is my master, and you are a traitor, a liar, a thief,
a cheetah, scoundrel. Good day at Taviano, if you don't mind, I need a little fresh air Chillini, Cellini. Yes, excellency, the duchess request that you come to her apartments before you leave. The duchess yes, sir, oh, well, here's a piece of gold for you. Tell the Duchess you are not able to catch me. Yes in your Cellini, but I think you're cree or have you been? We're going in such
¶ Passionate Love and Deadly Rivalry
a hurry. Greetings, Pierre. I've been having my weekly scolding from the Duke, and I'm going to see the most beautiful girl in the world. I have heard that the Duke is out of patience with you. Take he ben Venuto, don't be reckless. Once your head is cut off, there will be no putting it back. I will be careful, Pierre. Have you ever seen such a day in Florence? Oh? Look at that beautiful blue sky, at that wonderful sunshine. A foals enchanting beggars, throw them
a coin. Pierre, Here, good Earth, Good Earth? What on earth has gotten into you but the first time in these life? Benvenuto Cellini, the greatest silversmith in the world, the most exciting love of the most brilliant and vendor and artist. Ben Venuto, the handsome, the reckless, the magnificence is in love. One of the things I admire about you is your modesty. Modesty? What is that you are right to ask? Now? That Angela? Oh care that Angela is truly from heaven? You know
I love her so much. I'm afraid to take her in my arms. I'm not even kissed her, but I'm going to marry her. Marry that I should live to hear such a word on your lip. I'm going to marry her. You may have some trouble accomplishing that. I understand. Mafio has a great liking for the same lady, and Mafia is no mean swordsman. Mathiol, that tool of a tabiano. Has he dared to look at my Angela. You don't own the girl, you know, just because she's
your marble. If Matfio so much as dares to speak to her again, I'll cut him into little pieces and feed into the sharks. Will you now where that's very interesting? Cellini, Good afternoon, Mafio. It doesn't supplies me in the least that you can sneak up behind people and listen to conversations that are none of your affair. But obviously this one is my affair. Just what makes you think you can say what ladies I am to see and what ladies I am not to see. I'm not interested in what ladies you
see, Mafio, so long as you stay away from Angela. Well, now, I like Angela, and I don't choose to stay away from her after she's a nobody. Nobody. I'll kill you for that. You're welcome to try Cellini. I just as soon see you did as not, then there will be no obstacles between Angela and me. Do not fighting, Benvannuto, Remember the Duke? Why do you hesitate? Ben Vanuto? Are you afraid to fight me? Afraid? Do you think so? You do not
sense as well as you taught my friends. You will see how well if fends Chellini, particularly when I fight for a woman. Ah. How do you like a taste of blood? Matthew, I have your life before I'm done with you, and then I have the lovely Angela. You're like, they're my friend? How do you like that? He's done? Come quickly, We've got to get out of here. The Duke is sure be after you any minute. You're right. Say a prayer for me, will you?
Pierre? You're on much better footing with heaven than I not with the angels. Cellini not worth the angels. Angela? Ah, my Angela,
¶ Angela's Sacrifice and Unconventional Love
I love you. Don't you think you could love me at all? I think you're a splendid artist, and it's a great honor to be your model. Would you never think of me except with a chisel or a paintbrush in my hand. I'm a man as well as an artist or Angela. If you will but love me, I will take your hands and fill them with stars, and I will take your heart and fill it with fire. Angela. Never in my life if I asked a woman to marry me. But I ask you, I don't know. I don't know, Bendanuta. See,
I've been waiting for a very special man. What kind of man? I am the most romantic man in Florence, who first of all, he must be someone who'll be constant and never look at another woman. Such a man never lived, Angela, Do you love me? What is love? Ben Vanuta? Tell me what love is? An I'll try to tell you if I love you, why love love is. Love is lightning and thunder
and music and excitement. Love is a flame in the dark. Love is a challenge that sends the blood surging through you and puts the steadiest heart offbeat. Love is you, Angela. Oh, then the Nooda. You're so much older and so much wiser than I. But I know far more of love than you. All those things the beginnings of love, that they're not love. No, then what is love? My Angela? If I told
you, you'd laugh because you wouldn't understand. But perhaps one day you'll know more about love, and when you do, perhaps that day I'll marry you. In the name of all the saints, was there ever a man sort plagued by a woman? Angela, listen to me and try to understand. To me, you are the mystery man must live on beyond bread, the wonder and glory of the world. I'm mad about your hair. I'm enraptured with your eyes, and I'm jealous that God not I created you. Ben
Venuto, It's no. You do not interrupt me when I'm speaking. So well, Oh pardon me. You are the bell which awakens me, in the bell which says rest. I love you like an angel I love it like a man, and I will always love you. Open the door in the name of the view. Open the door. That's a Taviano's voice, and Duke is with him. Benvenuto, are you in terble? Yes, I killed Matthew this morning. You must try to escape, not run like a coward. Chillini. Come in. Welcome your excellency, My poor house
is honored by your presence. Come in, Ataviano, Cellini, this time you have angered me beyond all endurance. I hear you've been listening to my enemies, your excellency, your crimes are your enemy, my Lord. You're angry with me unjustly. Does not hesitate to rebuke even you, your excellency. You would like to see me dead, wouldn't you, Taviano. I'll wager my next fee that you set Matthew on me with a full in tenth,
that we should kill him one number. My Lord, do not listen to this outrageous fellow, Cellini. Ottaviano tells me that this morning, after giving me your word to behave yourself, you spilled more blood in the streets of Florence. Well, but in self defense, my Lord, in self defense, Matthio attacked me. He attacked me with the whole regiment. It is here your murders are notorious, Cellini. Taviana, you would not dare to say that accept my presence of my lord. Am I to take that
as proof of your peaceful nature? Cellini? I cannot be peaceful when I'm insulted. I I try to pattern myself too much after your excellency after me. Well, I must admit that was neatly said. Does my Lord forget this morning's murder? Murder? Murder? No? No, I do not forget this morning's murder. Cellini. I do not believe you, and no matter what proof you have, I will not believe you. You have caused much grief and bloodshed in Florence. Therefore, in full justice I sentence you
do not sentence on to death. Wow, well, well, who are you come here to me? My child? Why would you have me spare this assassin? Because because woll speak up? Speak up? Because I love him, Your excellency, You love this rascal? Is this scoundrel, this rogue who was shed's blood as though it were water and steals women's hearts as if they were pennies. You love him. I've struggled very hard against it, your excellency, but I cannot help myself. I do love him with
my whole heart. Well, loving Cellini seems to be a state of mind that every girl in Florence goes through at one age or another. You're certain you're in love with him? Yes, my lord, Nah, I've taken quite a fancy to you. I'm going to help you get over this fellow. How would you like to come with me to my summer palette. Tell him, no, Angela, nor if you will come with me, I will spare his life. But if you insist on staying with him, I will most surely hang him. Well, what do you say that? What?
But I will go of course, mallord, Oh, Angela, don't do this, and I can't lose you. Now, my lord, what do you think the Duchess is going to say to this duchess? Oh, dear me, look here, one word to the duchess and you die. You're a very lucky fellow to be alive at all. Come, my dear, Oh, never mind the address of that dance of Benvenuta. I'm not interested. After all, I swear I'd like to tap tap Benvenuto. Remember I am your excellency. Yes, Celina, I order you to remain in
your house and under no circumstances to leave it without my permission. Come,
¶ Desperate Pursuit and Summer Palace Intrigue
everybody, she's gone. Here, she's gone, and the stars have gone out in the moon has gone out, and Lawrence is a wilderness. You'll get over it. And meanwhile, I have a message for you from the Duchess. The duchess, devil, take the duchess. The duchess, my friend wants to know if you will come to the Summer Palace for a few weeks. Summer Palace, she says, she will tell the Duke that you are there to devise a decoration for the fountain the Summer Palace, the Summer
Palace. Yes, shall I still tell the jet duchess to go to the devil? Tell the duchess to go to the devil? How could you think of such a thing. You'll never live to be old, my friends. Maybe not here, maybe not, but I'll have twice as much fun out of life as those who do. I don't care whether I live to be old or not, so long as I can be young with Angela. Come, I'm going to the Summer Palace to night, even even if I die tomorrow morning. In just a moment, we'll bring you the second act of
the Firebrand. The old saying a stitch in time saves nine is certainly true in connection with head coals.

the directions in the folder Vic's Vatronal. The Double Duty Knows Drops. And now the second act of Dangerously Yours starring Victor Jory in the Firebrand You go away, Go away at Aviano, I I'm very busy. You're talking to Angela. I came here to the Summer Palace for a little rest and quiet. But I have mules of the greatest importance. Will wait until Tomorrow has escaped and order the soldiers to catch him and leave me allow. But your
excellency he plats against your life. He will surely kill you because you've stolen Angela. Oh what a hiresome fellow, what a boy. Well, this is the last straw. The camel's back is broken. We ordered the Cellini be hanged directly. He is caught, and we give the matter into your hands for execution. I'll go away, Yes, you're excellent. Oh, one more thing. The duchess has arrived my wife here in the summer Palace. Yes, your excellency, Sometimes I wish I were dead, and this
is one of them. What was that happened? It looks like Pamerino. The man's badly wounded Maino Haavarino. I wounded to death. I feel who attacks you? Who has done such a monstrous thing Cellini? By my trust, that man shall die for this. Probably found Pulverina's body by now.
¶ Pierre's Counsel and Angela's Plan
If there was ever hope for me, it's long since vanished. You should not have killed him, Pierre, and I should never have come to the Summer Palace. But he jumped on your back. If I hadn't have thrown my dagger when I did, he would have plunged his own into you. Bet her a dead Pulverina than a dead Cellini. Ah me, I don't know why I attract so much trouble. I'm always in trouble. Sometimes I wish I were dead. Maybe I should let the Duke catch me. Can
only kill me once, and then I would need to worry anymore. Listen, isn't that Angela? If it is, it is Angela? Oh, how many times I've heard that voice in my dreams. She's moving away. I must talk to it, Pierre. I must speak to my adored when i'll carry her away from the duke. A die in the attempt to Gelini? Would you really carry me away from the duke? The duck is a good good afternoon, my most gracious lady. I have been waiting for you,
Bendnuto. I wondered if you would come, How could I stay away? I came through rivers of blood. Paul Greiner tried to keep me from your side, and I had to kill him. You shall be pardoned, Bendnuto, if you make your request in a sweet enough manner. Come, Pierre. Oh surely, Pierre need not come. Let us be alone together, just you and I, Dendnuto, Yes, your grace, you sound so strange. Are you ill or in pain. I am in paining your
grace by your hand. You will never know what you're doing to my heart. You'll never know what you have done to mine. Come then, Thenoto, come your grace. Give me but one moment to speak to Pierre, and I shall be at your side. I'll await you. Do not keep me waiting lost. I shall not kill me. Pierre, take your dagger and plunge it into my heart. I can stand no more of this. Is this Cillini talking Ben the nooto Cellini who snaps his fingers at fate and
takes what he wants assuredly. It is not go find the girl, carry her off. If you only have a few more hours to live, live recklessly and beautifully the way you've always lived. You're Cellini, the most handsome of lovers, the most skilled of silver smiths, the most glorious man in Florence. Go on, go on, Pierre, you're convincing. You're a legend, a symbol of gallantry and romance that will live forever. Well.
You were the man that every woman dreams about and every man envies. You're the charm of the moonlight, the sparkle of wine, the dash of the conqueror. You're magnificent. You are right, I am magnificent. I will go find Angela. I'll see you later here. What a liar I am, Angela? Are my angel Bendnuda? I wondered if you'd come for me. Where's the duke waiting for me? The duchess is waiting for me? I told her I had to speak to Pierre. Oh Angela, yes,
Ben Denudah, Why didn't you say something? Where are all the words that used to come so magnificently to your dague? It's funny, but I can't think of them. All I can think is that your beautiful and I'd like to spend the rest of my life at your feet, whether it's sixty years or sixty hours or sixty minutes. Angela. For the first time in my life, I wish my name were not then Denudo Cellini. I wish I
had a more humble name and a humble house to take you too. I wish I could say, if God continues to smile on me, I'll have sixty years and they're yours, if you'll have me. Oh Angela, you make me want to be so much better than I am. I love you very much. So very much. Let you ask me what love was, and I wouldn't tell you. There you'd laugh. But what I would have said that love is growing all together, growing all loving the same things and
loving each other. Come back to Florence with me and marry me tonight. It may not be for sixty years, angel Let me only be for sixty hours. Perhaps least I'll marry you, whether it's for a few hours or sixty years. Oh, come, let us hurry, Let us hurry home, my Angela. Opening the name of the fuel, opening the name of

the excellency the fukel flo benvenuta, My darling. He's here, he's here, and we've not at sixty hours. Come we're let him in. Well, there you are, Angela, And here you are, Cellini, you scoundrel. You told me to stay here in my own house, or excellency, did you obey me? Well, no, I had a mission that took me briefly to the Summer Palaces, that mission to steal Angela and kill
Palvarino. Yes, your excellency, Cellini, I've come here to see that you are executed, and nothing is going to change my mind this time. I've been looking forward to it all morning, take him away, well Andrew, No, wait, well, lord, you've not heard him. Tell why he killed Balvarino. He did it to save you, save me? Why? Bless my soul, Bless my soul. How could that possibly be impossible? I sent a message to Cellini to come and save you. I
heard of Taviano when Palverino plotting, Otaviano ordered Palvarini to kill you. That's a lie. Be quiet at Taviano. Your opinion does not count. What else did he say? I there to tell you, my lord? All speak up, my child, speak up? Well if you must know, Ohtaviano said you were a law long ear donkey? What why, I'll hang him in Cellini's place? A long ear donkey, I don't have long ears at all. A lie. The girls in love with Cellini. She's just
trying to save his life. Well, I hope it's a lie, donkey. I was considered the bright boy of the family. I say, let's string Cellini up and have an end of him. It seems to me you're overly anxious to have CHELINI hanger Taviano. Cellini when you came to the palace, why didn't you ask for me? I wanted to find you myself. And when Paul brenno leapt on me in the dock and I had to kill him, I lost my head and ran away. Oh don't you see,
your excellency. When a Taviano found that Cellini had fled, he was afraid he'd gotten wind of the plot and was going to warn you. And it all sounds very flimsy to me. On the other hand, three years ago at Taviano, you did plot against my life, but you forgave me and it did not happen again. My Lord, I am a mediature and I claim the right of protection from further insults. My honor is at stake. You must hang Cellini or you must hang me. In the name of our
family, I demand which of us will you hang? That's quite a problem, isn't it, Oh Taviano. I don't like your face. I never have since the time you tried to kill me three years ago. You're no good as a silver smith, and you're not even amusing. I think I will hang you instead of Chillini. You tried to kill me before, and I think you may have been at it again. I throw myself on you, am must him my lord away with you, man take him away. Take him away, and I say you are alone your tunky. Put him
in a rid infested celling and don't be particular about his meals. Give him very good a drink. I never did like that man. With all that true, my dear, you can tell me I will not kill your Chillini. It was all true. I give you my word. Why didn't you tell me before? I didn't you tell me. I was leaving it until I should need it. I thought maybe at the right moment I might be able to exchange it. For sixty years of a man's life, you're very
young to have learned someone. Oh, I learned it all from a master of intrigue, a great Chileni. Now see here. Something has to be done about this man. He's the terror of Florence. With your permission, the Lord, I have done something about him. Yes what, I've married him, married Mary Chillini. You don't mean it. You don't mean it for funny about Mary. This I am going to enjoy watching. You're a jumping grass, happy time man. I didn't learn you Chillini. Mary.
I'll see here. I like being married, don't cannot I'll cut yours off. You don't stop that loud. Tell me what's the address is advancing your that's so gil Bunny forty three, Thank you, goodbye, my friend, and may all your troubles be little Donkey Hallo, the old clown, stop that in front of laughing Angela. I love you and I will love you for sixty years and a hundred and sixty and a thousand and sixty, and I want sixty little girls that looked just like you. Sixty that's quite a
few, little girl. Will you settled for soon? I'll settle for you. Darling. You have me as the little girl. You'll have to keep your fingers crossed. Oh not. I with a fine piece of silver on my anvil, and the Duke smiling at me in the city of Florence at my feet, and you in my arms, there's nothing I can't accomplish.
