294 Actorviews I like to sing at your benefit for the Jewish children, and that is your own “Do It Again.” ’ “ ‘All right, sing that — sing anything !’ “ ‘But,’ I say, ‘if I sing that once I want to sing that always. I want to put it in my new play.’ “ ‘But my partner !’ “ ‘No the song, no the Bordoni !’ I say, and stick to it. And five minutes, ten minutes later, he telephone back that it is all right with his partner and I can have the song for ‘The French Doll.’ So I sang it for the Jewish children’s benefit and have been singing it ever since. But I don’t sing it for the Victrola. They wouldn’t let me — and you can’t guess the reason why.” “Your voice?” I tried, timidly. “Certainly not! It is a very good voice for the Victrola. But the good people who make the records they say the song is too naughty! What do you call people who say things like that — Vic, Viet ?” “Victrolians,” I helped out. “I thought so,” said Bordoni.
