STANISLAVSKY
by Danny Kaye
Transcribed from The Jack Benny Show, May 28, 1944

BENNY: Stanislavsky?

KAYE: Why of course, his method is famous all over the world.

BENNY: It is?

KAYE: Of course it is, let me give you a picture of one of his disciples.

[Music]

Who is the world's greatest actor?
And how did I get that way?
Who made me a genius, the greatest projector [?] who ever wore a toupee?
Who made me most miserable Hamlet, the deadest Romeo who died for his bride?
Who made me most awful Dr. Jekyll?
And then made me Hyde?

Staaaaanislavsky! Stanislavsky of the Moskia Theater,
Stanlislavsky, a director from the heart!

I will never forget the day I first meet the great master.
He took me by the hand.
And BEAT... my HEAD... AGAINST... the WALL!
And in one word...
In one word he told me the secret of the great Stanislavsky Method:
SUFFER!
That's all.

Suffer! You must live before you give!
Suffer! You must ache before you make!
Suffer! You must think before you stink!
Suffer! Suffer! Suffer, suffer, suffer, suffer, SUFFER!
Hello.
Suffer, and the audience suffers with you.

Staaaaanislavsky! Stanis...
I will never forget the day
They give me first part to play.
I'm supposed to play part of sail.
But first I must SUFFER!
What... I'm going... to do?

I join navy, become sailor.
First day out, BEEEEG storm!
At first I was afraid I was going to die!
Then I was afraid... I wasn't going to die!
But I suffered!
I came back to Moskva and in this part I was Wow!
Here is what the great critic, Georginya Sasha Vladimir Nathan say:
[string of to-me unintelligible Russian]
"Just like in America, three and a half stars."

So if you want career on stage, you mustn't dream of merely acting.
Use the Stanislavsky Method of Mental Chiropractic.

Be a tree, be a sled,
Be a fearful [?] spool of thread.
Be a storm, a piece of lace,
A subway train, an empty space.
Take it fast, take it slow,
Hello Moe, Hello Joe,
I just got back from a wonderful show!

Staaaaanislavsky! Stanis...
I will never forget the day
Louella Parsons said I steenk.
I wsa playing part of stable boy.
It was in great Russian tragedy.
It was beautiful.
Everybody died.
I also play part in great Russian comedy. Hee, hee, hee.
Everybody died.
But they died happy!
This makes it funny.

But I will never forget the day of my greatest triumph.
I was playing part of antique mahogany bureau.
So convincing in the third act...
My drawers fell out.
And who is the man who loosened my screws?
Who pulled me all apart?

Stanlislavsky! Stanislavsky of the Moskiaaaaaaaa!

BENNY: Danny. Danny, that was great. I'll find room
for that in my picture if I have to cut myself out of
one scene.
