"Under condition that a bona
fide person acts as surety, I'm
prepared to supply the amount."
"Dear Rudolf, I need a large sum
right away, and require a surety.
Would you be so kind...?"
"I will supply the 10,000 Crowns
but... on one condition.
You must give me your word of honour
not to gamble anymore, and to break
with the woman who is destroying you."
"I did not bring enough money.
I shall be back in half an hour."
"Sir has gone our with miss
Lulu and mister Alfredo."
"I am not to blame.
It is all his work!"
Sir Van Waldheim visits his son.
"I've just lost my only friend.
A woman who was unworthy
of him, has destroyed him!"
"I won't perform any more!"
"Lulu... is this the thanks for all I've
done for you? Did you forget how I so
to speak picked you up from the street?"
"I... can... not"
Lulu goes on a trip.
The clerks check the luggage.
"Duties have to be paid for
all of these things, madam!"
"I do not carry that much
money at the moment."
Dear sir, For your services rendered
to me I wish to thank you once more.
Hence it would be pleasant to me...
...to receive a visit from you in
my hotel and settle my debt to you
as well. Sincerely, Lulu Kowalsky
"Mister Van Waldheim."
"Where is Lulu?"
"Since a few days she has
disappeared without a trace."
Dear son, Since the death of your
mother our relation was more that of
comrades than that of father and son,
and that is why I can now
speak to you as a friend.
I have met a young, pretty woman,
that I wish to make my life mate.
I know that you shall understand me
and approve my decision. Your father.
"Lulu, if you wish to make
an old man like myself happy,
then become my wife."
"You've told me that you have
a son. Do you think he will
be pleased with your plan?"
Dear son, I have taken the decisive
step, and I have no regrets of it.
She has become my wife,
and now I feel myself the happiest
man in the world. Besides, I could
not have lived without her anymore.
I hope that I shall see you here
soon to be witness of my happiness.
Your father.
"Why does your son not come...
have you not written to him?"
An evening at the Waldheim's.
Mister Van Waldheim introduces
his son to the guests.
"Lulu!!"
"The sooner my father will
perceive he was cheated..."
"Your son allows himself
liberties with me!"
"Tomorrow morning I will
speak further with you!"
The next morning.
"You will see that our
ways part from today!"
"Father... I owe you a
clarification, so that you..."
"Father, now I am unable to reply
to your accusation... but may
you never regret this hour..."
"Have you not been
too hard on your son?"
Lulu, I have just arrived and
expect you at 12 o'clock.
Address Bergstr. 22. Alfredo.

"I have done some shopping!"

find out Lulu's secret."

wish to invite to our ball?"

provide me with an invitation too."
