Hey guys, it's Nate, aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have to talk about everything that went down yesterday on FIFA Ultimate Team with the Usman Dembele, SBC Summer Heat vote winner, and the SBC that he did get himself on Saturday in FIFA Ultimate Team. Talk about what that did to the market because a lot of these cards and a lot of the market is crashing because EA are making people shell over around a million coins to get this Usman Dembele card, which it seems like in the past two days, the Summer Heat promo has gone from exceptionally good value for like all of the SBCs we've gotten. It's just been good value after good value after good value. And now we're starting to get some stuff that's been a little bit more expensive compared to what that stuff has been. And some people are not super happy about it. They're just a bit disappointed based on what we've had so far. And now what we are getting. But regardless, this SBC that came out today probably I would be so inclined to say one of the most desired special cards that we have seen this year in FIFA Ultimate Team, the five star Usman Dembele with the Juke Step statistics. It is a cracked out looking card with whatever chem style you do choose to put on him. I mean, he's almost got perfect agility of balance. He's got great finishing. I think you can play this guy on the wing, in the middle and of course with all the French cards that have come out already this year and during summer heat in general, this is just gonna slide into so many people's team. So this is awesome for FIFA. I'm glad we got this Usman card and I'm really curious to see what comes next over the next few days. But at least today, I'm still wanna talk about the Weekend League sell off and the prices on this market that are probably gonna continue to go down, especially in a couple certain areas of cards that actually went up today after the Usman Dembele SBC. And so we'll talk about the market impact of this as well. But again, over on foot bin just to dive into what this SBC is a little bit more. One million coins is the price of this SBC at the moment. He was under a million coins earlier today, but fodder is progressively rising up as people are doing this SBC. They're doing the ribbery SBC and fodder is just getting more expensive because there's not a lot of packs that are being opened. We do have some upgrade packs out, but fodder is rising pretty nicely. So for this SBC, you do get some okay packs back but it's five different sections. I think it's 84, 85, 86, and then 288 rated squads. So I said in yesterday's video, they might put in 288 rated squads, which is what they did end up doing for Usman. And that pushed up a lot of this higher rated fodder today. I'm pretty sure we were looking at Terstegen yesterday at 46,000 coins. Now he's 55K. That's an out of packs gold card because his team of the week moments is in packs right now. Hazard was like 50K yesterday, I think. Now he's 64. So a lot of this stuff did rise. If you bought fodder, you're looking good. You made a lot of coins today. Especially in the 84 side of things. Especially some of these 84s. Ozil was like 5K flat. Mutino who's 7K right now. I have some on my transfer list that I bought at 5.5K yesterday or two days ago. He was even lower than that before the SBC came out today. So if you did buy fodder, you are up. I would cash out on that fodder in my opinion. I feel like we may have reached kind of like a peak in terms of content on summer heat for the next couple of days. In terms of stuff that is gonna be requiring you to turn in high rated fodder in this game. We come off of a ribbery and an Usman Dembele SBC. Two of the most hyped up players that we could receive SBCs for during this promo. And a lot of people are doing these SBCs. So fodder is pretty high. And we don't really have a lot of supply for those cards on the market. The SBC fodder, we're not getting supplied that much. And that's one thing I wanna talk about today as well. In yesterday's video, we pulled up some pack code from Footwatch, which I will pull up again. Because if you guys did not see this in yesterday's video, this is a very, very interesting pack code. And I wanna talk about this quick because if you have not done Usman Dembele yet, which I have not, or ribbery and you're maybe waiting on whatever or you just haven't done it yet, I would continue to wait. Because if these SBCs come out, 85 to 92 rated rare player pack guarantees a player from 85 to 92, guarantees two rare gold players rated 84 or higher. Depending on how expensive they make this SBC, it might be very, very easy to craft some of these high level SBCs that are now coming out. And this is why I think EA is starting to price these SBCs higher that they're putting out is because they're gonna make it grindable from a lower level and craftable, I guess you could say. So I don't know when these are gonna be released. And I showed you guys in the video yesterday about these, I was very curious. If they did not come today, which is the perfect storm for EA sports, right? This is the perfect scenario that EA is always thinking this way on the game. They want to rinse people of their coins, right? They wanna rinse people of their coins, then keep putting out content that makes them have to have more coins to partake in that content. And either they just don't partake in the content or they buy FIFA points. Cause I think pretty much every day they're putting, they're still putting packs in the store and people are still at home. The COVID cases are still an issue in a lot of places. So people are probably still spending some money on this game because it's their entertainment while they are home. And EA is trying to still make money off of this game by selling FIFA points, by sucking coins out of people's clubs, by requiring all this stuff and putting out great SBC player after great SBC player and then just a lot of content on top of that. So I think what EA did was a strategic move by putting out this Usman Dembele SBC before releasing those upgrade pack SBCs because what happens is you have to go sell cards in the market, you have to go spend coins in order to buy SBC fodder to complete that SBC. And then all of a sudden you're kind of out of coins when maybe the next day or two we do end up getting that SBC with the upgrade packs where you might be able to quote unquote craft those, the Usman or the Dembele SBCs for cheaper. So if you have not done those SBCs yet, if you've not done the summer heat Usman or you have not done the summer heat ribbery, I would honestly wait because when those upgrades come out, depending on how much they are costing, of course the 85 to 92 and the 284 plus and the five rear gold 88 or higher, which may be a Twitch Prime pack. So we'll talk about that. But that's gonna cause a possible more, a drop in SBC cards, a drop in that high rated fodder. So that's one thing I did want to mention. I think, I don't know if ribbery has a timeframe because I've already completed him, but Dembele is not non, it doesn't expire. So Dembele is here for a while till the end of the game. Basically he's under the players tab. And of course the 81 plus and the 82 to 88 SBCs do expire. Now these are very, very cheap to do and I hope EA re-up these because you can actually do Usman Dembele and start to chip away at that. If you do the 82 to 88 upgrade, which is my opinion, in my opinion is a way better value than the 81 double plus just because you get consistent 83s, 84s, which then if you hit an 88 or an 87 or 88 from this SBC, then boom, all of a sudden you have an 84, 85 or 86 maybe rated squad done for Usman Dembele. So I think it's pretty grindable in that way. But so that's the whole SBC, that's kind of the situation with the SBC fodder, I guess. If you have fodder, I would honestly consider cashing out because I don't know what other stuff they're gonna release. Why about these at 6K? And this guy's what, eight? Or 7,900 I think is what's been told me. This guy is, yeah, 7,900 coins. So I actually bought a few fodder cards boys, you should be proud of the foot account. I bought fodder, I invested in fodder, I'd like never do this because I don't really enjoy trading with fodder, but I did. So I'll cash out on a few of those anyways. But I would cash out on your fodder honestly because I just don't know what other SBCs could be coming out in the next day or so. They would push fodder up even higher, I guess. So I feel like a lot of that Usman hype, especially if they release those upgrades which could decrease the fodder prices, you just take the cash on your fodder now while it's up and you go from there. But for the rest of the market, we saw prices crashing today, literally everywhere. I wanna talk about the same Maxman card because he went on a wild, ride today in terms of price. Wow, Rio Ferdinand has bounced back up very nicely from where he was earlier today. The Alglish was down at a million coins. He is now back up like 40K-ish. So a lot of this stuff is even recovered. That's an undercut, 1.02. Yeah, a lot of this stuff has actually recovered from where it was earlier in the point today for Weekendly sell-off because a lot of these meta cards, people bought back to finish their Weekend League or they sold cards to go to Usman and then they bought those cards back. And that's the big thing that I wanna look at today with Saint Maxman and even some of these other cards in the market. I'll show you the bounce backs that we had today. But this is why I had Saint Maxman on the thumbnail even because this dude today, when he did not win the SBC vote, this guy was 750,000 coins all morning, 750 to 780, all morning or 580 to 600 on the Xbox before the SBC came out. And on both consoles, he went up almost 300,000 coins. It shows 935 here on the PlayStation. I, as you saw in my transfer targets, there was Saint Maxman selling over 1.05 million coins. This guy went up over 300,000 coins, almost 400K technically, on the market today. Crazy, crazy market rise when he did not win the SBC. That just shows me that this card just carries so much weight in this game. But the big issue I have with this is this card's still in packs for another two weeks. So a lot of people that bought those cards back today when he did not win the SBC, they're gonna end up losing money in the long term because this guy's probably gonna drop down. I wouldn't say he's back down in the 760s during the Weekend League sell-off, but I could easily see him, you know, he's 890 right now. I would easily see this card down another 50 to 60,000 coins maybe just tomorrow after the Weekend League sell-off or today, Sunday with the Weekend League sell-off in full effect. Cards like Mbappe today as well. Again, this is what I talked about yesterday happening and it came to fruition today. People sold off a lot of cards today just to be able to go afford that SBC. Mbappe was 4.75 million this morning, rebounded back to almost 5.2 million. Now he's back still about 5 million actually. So some of these cards, if you still have them, I would say take your opportunity here. If it's a very meta foot birthday card get it out because if you learned anything from the shapeshifter cards, these guys are just gonna keep dropping and keep dropping throughout the end of the year. They could rebound a little bit at some points. They could spike with a Weekend League rewards, maybe that in Mbappe especially, but at least for this weekend, I would honestly cash them out. We saw a lot of market movements on team of these season cards as well. A lot of panic selling and this is the one thing I wanna talk about today with panic selling on a Sunday. A lot of these Tots cards have been on their lowest on Sundays, right? This Lala is a guy that I watch fluctuate every week. I know we have the Mbappu objective, but there's so many French players in this game right now. I still think this guy's gonna have meta, demand and a very high amount of value corresponding to him. He was 450 again, panic selling every single day when a new SBC comes out back up to 500K. If you see this guy in like the 450s again, maybe the 440s on PlayStation and like 420s, maybe low 400s on Xbox today on Sunday. If he drops off, you know, 40 to 50,000 coins, I would highly suggest snagging this card because we just got a right back objective, which would make me think that there's less of a chance we would get a right back SBC later this week. So the right back cards are still inflated, right? I like Carvajal. I like honestly, who was Quadrado, Carvajal, Quadrado and Lala are kind of my favorites for cards that could be a buy today. Stuff that is just still really meta, right? Like some of these French cards Alwar is up today for the links that he provides. You know, he was 220 on Wednesday. He was like still maintaining a very high price today. Neymar is down a lot. We looked at him in yesterday's video, 4.9 million coins after he was 5.6 mil this weekend. Crazy that a Ribery shapeshifter and a Usman Dembele summer heat card cards together could crash a price that much. But of course, right now there's just so much tension and hype around La Liga and around the French link. So I would watch a lot of these La Liga cards if they get sold off today. I got like Fakir, Suarez, De Young, Carvajal, even Benzema, even Ter Stegen, honestly. Just watch some of these cards on the Weekend Link sell up on a Sunday because I think there could be a rebound later into the week this week. If anything has shown me in this game right now, if there's anything that I've learned from today, there is still hype for this game. There are still people playing this summer heat promo. I bought Benietta yesterday at 390,000 coins and now it looks like he's up to 440, 450. So I'm probably gonna try to cash out on my Beniettas at like 450K. I kind of talked about this on the live stream yesterday. I was like, hey, this guy's 390 to 400,000. There's not a lot of French right wings. I like this as an investment. It actually did end up doing well. But I would cash out, right? If there was stuff that went up with the SBC, with Usman today, if there was stuff that went up today or on Saturday with this SBC coming out, Link investments or whatever, stuff that went up, if it comes back down today on Sunday, that is something I would say is a very safe bet to buy this week. The only thing that I could see making prices go down even further is those upgrades being released and those upgrades containing very easy requirements that people can craft and do prime icons and do other SBCs because if people can start crafting at a very cheap rate and they can pack 85 to 92 rated players and only have to turn in like an 81 rated squad or an 82 rated squad, I think 82s right now are 82s or 1,000 coins. So they're up a little bit, not much. So that's not really an investment in my opinion. 82 rated cards. I mean, they could go to 2,000 coins for some of them, but a lot of them are already like 1,3, 1,4, 1,5. So maybe with squad battle rewards late tonight, you look at some 82 rated cards and stock the club if those upgrade SBCs have not come out. But that's my biggest like fear or the biggest impending factor to this market that could change some things and change some prices this week. But I think a lot of people are locked in now because they got their Usman Dembele SBC. Yes, there's gonna be more stuff that comes out, more cool players I would assume for summer heat. But I would expect prices to do kind of well into the early week. If we don't get any more big time content this week or at least on Sunday or on Monday on FIFA Ultimate Team. So icons, if you're seeing low prices and they're meta and very usable cards, I'm a fan of those. Of course, stuff that is out of packs you have to be careful with, especially if it's a shapeshifter card. You have to be careful with that because these foot birthdays are kind of, you know, it's just like the whole scenario and situation where a team of the season cards came onto the market very cheap and that just kind of pushed the whole market down itself. We have a similar scenario happening here with all these old past special cards are coming back into packs, getting supply and these very meta foot birthday cards are used by a lot of people and they're getting cheaper which is kind of squashing the market in all other areas as well because this card is getting cheaper. People will go sell this card to go buy the foot birthday version or whatever because it's just getting cheaper and it's just kind of lowering the whole market as a whole. So just be very careful with cards that are in packs. Again, I would recommend selling foot birthdays, road to the finals, anything that is now in packs with batch two, future stars as well. I would consider selling those sooner rather than later because they're probably just going to continue to drop through the weekend and while they are in packs as well. But if you're still finishing a week in league, GLs, I'm five and two, I think at the moment I gotta grind out some more games but it's been a decently fun week in league with these new cards. It's fun to try out a different team. That's for sure using Ibra, Ericsson and my boy Ribery. I'm kind of messing around with the right side over here because I wasn't liking Kubo. Kubo for me, man, he can't finish anything, bro. This dude cannot shoot. He can't shoot for me. I don't know what it is. He has 99 finishing but I feel like that finishing is like 50 or something. I don't know. I just need to try him out. He's been decent as a super sub but as a starter for me, he just doesn't cut it. I know it's going to upset some of you guys but that's just how he's working out for me. So that's kind of how I feel about the market. I feel kind of good about stuff maybe rising into the week but especially today, more sell-off happening across the market. Look for some link investments, right? Bundesliga center backs, English link-ups because of the Pope objective and of course all the French, La Liga and Brazilian links that you can do because that's still the main point of FIFA and that's a lot of the cards that people are using in this game at this time.

The Cavalcade of America presented by DuPont. We welcome you to the first program in the fall and winter series of the Cavalcade of America presented by DuPont, dramatizing historical episodes of American life. This evening we present the story of that colorful character, Daddy of the American Circus, P.T. Barnum. Bridgeport, Connecticut, along the headquarters of Barnum and Bailey Circus, knew him also as the giver of a great park and in various other ways as a philanthropist. By way of tribute, Bridgeport, in celebrating its centennial this year, placed Barnum's likeness on the special centennial coin. The spectacular nature of Barnum's life is a strong contrast to the patient lives of the research chemist, yet they also contribute mightily to the happiness of all of us. Everywhere you find evidence of their success in providing, as DuPont expresses it, better things for better living through chemistry. As an overture, Don Vorreys and his orchestra play a selection from the musical spectacle Jumbo. And glamour and magic in a simple name, P.T. Barnum. Tonight we present high spots in his colorful career. This most typical of Yankees left his native Connecticut in the year 1835 at the age of 25 to seek fame and fortune in New York. His first business venture was a partnership in a grocery store where we find him talking to Mrs. Barnum. The future is gleaming with hope, Mrs. Barnum. Our fortune is made. In one year you'll be dressed in fine silks. I made a remarkable purchase in Philadelphia. I suspect you, Sineas. Did you buy more useless Jim Cracks? We'll never be able to sell him the store.  You did what, Sineas? I'll wait till you see her, Charity.  She's blind. Both legs are doubled up. She's got thick, pushy hair. Her fingernails are four inches long. She can't move but one arm, the other stiff, and listen closely, Mrs. Barnum. She will raise George Washington from a baby. I have the original bill of sale in Mr. Augustine Washington's own handwriting. Her name's Joyce Heth. I don't understand you, Sineas. You paid real money for this creature. She'll make our fortune, Charity. I've been thinking for some time. I ain't in the natural sphere in a grocery store. And what prey might your natural sphere be? I'm going to be a showman, Mrs. Barnum. The public wants to be amused, and I'm going to be the man to amuse them. May I ask you, Sineas, how much money you paid for this unspeakable harvest? Mrs. Barnum, I was hoping you'd ask that. I made a sharp trade. Mr. Limsey wanted $3,000. But I persuaded him she was only worth $1,000. Sineas, Taylor Barnum, you haven't a penny in the world, and we need flour and sugar and molasses for the store. Now, honey, I was coming to that. You need never worry about the store again. I sold my interest in a... Do I hear you right, Sineas?  Yes. The store brought only $500, but I found the gentleman who was kind enough to lend me the other $500. Now, all I need to do is engage a haul, exhibit this aged creature, and my fortune is made. And thus began P.T. Barnum's career as a showman. Crowds flocked to see the shriveled negris who prattled of dear little George Washington. For several months, his profits exceeded $1,500 a week. But inevitably, the novelty wore off. Our Sineas Barnum's exhibition haul in New York. The embryo showman and his recently engaged assistant, Levy Lyman, are standing near the entrance. Well, I'd best give you my week's notice now, Mr. Barnum. Your notice? You're not leaving me, Lyman? You don't need me, Mr. Barnum. The public has lost interest in Joyce Hath. You can't draw water out of a stone. Will you take the word of P.T. Barnum to this haul will be packed tonight? Facts are facts, Mr. Barnum. Every man and woman who wants to see the creature is seen it.  Yet afraid to contradict me, that's why I hired you. But I'll guarantee that things will be different tonight. And speaking of business, it's time to open the door. I'll open them, but it's scarce worth the trouble. Mr. Barnum, do you see the crowds? I can't believe it. This way to see Joyce Hath the 160-year-old slave who raised George Barnum. I've been here before, young man, but this time I brought my new spectacles. Where's that Baker Barnum? 160-year-old slave, eh? I learned the truth of this tonight. If you bring that letter, we'll clip from the new paper, Martha. It's right here. It says she's made of Indian rubber, whale bone, and it says on the screen. Now, does she talk? Got a score? She was human. Well, they do say the man who exhibits her is one of them ventriloquism. The men are not afraid to be left alone. Don't crowd. There's plenty of room for all. Maybe this time I won't be fooled. Let's stick a pin in her. We'll soon find out if she's human. Do you hear her, Mr. Barnum? Is that anonymous letter the papers printed today saying Joyce Hath is not a human being? Did you see it? Yes, I saw it. We'll have to send hundreds away. Why, that letter turned the tide.  Ah, no luck about it. When I saw business was failing, I wrote that letter myself to stir up discussion. And Lyman, it succeeded. Way beyond my hopes. Barnum's first publicity stunt was an unqualified success. As a result of that letter to the papers intimating that Joyce Hath was not a human being, violent controversy arose in every city in which he exhibited her. And before she died, Barnum had amassed a respectable fortune. But in three successive business ventures, he was swindled. And in the year 1841, at the age of 31, Barnum was once again penniless. The scene, the office of one of New York's real estate man, Mr. Francis W. Armstead. That man is here again, Mr. Armstead. What man? Hey, Mr. Finneas T. Barnum, sir. Why don't you send him away? He has some proposition. He wants us to consider. Tell him to write me a letter. I have, sir, but he says he must state his business in person. He's most persistent without being offensive. And he's brought these letters from Mr. Moses Why Beach of the Sun and from Mr. Nibbler. Why didn't you tell me? Mr. Beach is a friend of mine. And let me see. Eh, none like Beach, none like him at all. He says Mr. Barnum is infaccunious but honorable. He's destined for success. Strange letter. Very strange indeed. Well, why are you standing there? Show the man in. Yes, sir. This way, Mr. Barnum. Mr. Armstead will see. Mr. Armstead, I'm Finneas T. Barnum. I've come to propose a plan which will make money for us both. Interesting. I shan't waste words, Mr. Armstead. You own the American Museum building in which scutters collection of curiosities is housed. Yes. I want to buy that collection. I understand it's for sale. I've already been offered $15,000, Mr. Barnum. I don't believe you possess that amount. At the moment I'm not possessed of one silver dollar. I failed to understand how. I ain't surprised. Let me explain. I've come to ask you to buy that collection in your own name. What's that? And to give me a note stating that the collection is mine, provided my payments to you are made promptly. Most amazing. And if at any time I fail to meet the installment on the day it's due, I'll vacate the museum and forfeit every penny I've paid. Mr. Barnum, in all the years in which I've engaged in business, this is the most amazing proposition that has ever been presented to me. It is amazing. I'm proud to have thought of it. You admit you haven't a penny, Mr. Barnum. Had you considered offering me any security? My word is my security, Mr. Armstead. Yeah. Just why do you think you can succeed with that worthless collection of curiosities when scudder has failed? Ah, because I've discovered the value of lights, skyrockets, brass bands, publicity. That museum is a liability to you now. No one will buy that collection or rent that building because no man in this city knows what to do with it but me. You have the word of P.T. Barnum that you can't fail. Mr. Barnum, I have never lost a one-up penny at gambling. It's against my principles.    I'm going to take a chance on a man I never met until today. I'm going to accept your incredible proposition. Within one year, Barnum's American museum had become so successful that he repaid Mr. Armstead the full $15,000 with interest. His most sensational exhibit in the museum was his midget whom he dubbed General Tom Thumb. And in the year 1844, when Barnum was 34 years old, he embarked with a little general for England, resolved to bid for European success. We find Barnum and Tom standing nervously in the anti-room at Buckingham Palace, waiting to be ushered into the presence of Queen Victoria. Mr. Barnum, please tell me again quick. What am I supposed to call the Queen? Your Majesty. Your Majesty. Whatever you do, don't forget that, Tom. When you go in, say good evening, your Majesty, and lords and ladies. Good evening, your Majesty. I tried to remember, but I'm mighty scared, Mr. Barnum. So am I. Oh, but shucks. They say the Queen's a nice motherly lady, just like, well, just like your own mother, Tom. Why, at the doors are open. Your Majesty, Mr. Finnear Steve Barnum from America and the midget, General Tom Thumb. Oh, my hand, Mr. Barnum. My knees are shaking. Say good evening, Tom. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Good evening, General Tom Thumb. Won't you come closer so that I may talk with you? I forgot. I was supposed to say your Majesty. I'm most awfully sorry, ma'am. Oh, I'd much prefer that you be natural, General. Are you enjoying your visit to England? Yes, ma'am. I mean your Majesty. How tall are you, General? 28 inches, ma'am, and I weigh 15 pounds. Most people want to know my weight, too, do you? Well, yes, I had meant to ask that. Thank you. Is your famous general full-grown, Mr. Barnum? Yes, ma'am. Your Majesty, he's full-grown and in perfect health. Jiminy, I forgot, ma'am. I was told not to talk direct to you, but to this gentleman. Well, we'll dispense with court etiquette, Mr. Barnum. I'd like you and the general to be quiet at ease. I'd like to meet the little Prince of Wales, ma'am. I'm sure he would like to meet you, General. If Mr. Barnum will be so kind, you must visit us again in the daytime when the children are awake. It'll be a pleasure, Your Majesty. Now, would you sing a song for me, General, before you leave? Yes, ma'am. What would you like to hear? Oh, a song of your own choosing. Well, I like Yankee Doodle better than any other song. No, no, not Yankee Doodle, Tom. Anything but that. No, please, Mr. Barnum. Let him sing whatever he chooses. Shall I sing right now, ma'am? Yes, please. Yankee Doodle came to town riding on a pony Stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni Yankee Doodle, keep it up Yankee Doodle, dandy Mind the music and your step and with the girl's behind Hand. I event you to say that this is the first time the song of your American Revolution has been heard in Buckingham Palace. And in truth, it is a spirited song. You have been most kind, Your Majesty. The general is delighted for Mr. Barnum. We shall hope to see you again before you leave England. Thank you. Goodbye, General Thompson. Goodbye, Your Majesty. I have a very nice time. Do we rename truly have to walk out backwards, Mr. Barnum? Shush, Tom. Here, I'll take your hand. Just walk slow. We'll be outside in the jiffy. Mr. Barnum. Her Majesty wishes to present this snuff box to General Thompson as a memento of his visit. Thank you, sir. Why? Why, it's gold, Mr. Barnum. Solid gold. It's all over, Tom. You've had an audience with Queen Victoria. Mr. Barnum. Yes? I'm Everett, the American Ambassador. How to do, Mr. Everett. How to do? I've been planning to look you up. I want to congratulate you. The Queen is captivated by Tom Thumb. Your success throughout England and Europe is assured. Remarkable that you received you. I sort of thought she would. There have been other midgets in England. I don't understand why she made an exception in Yorkies. There may have been other midgets in England, but there's never been another P.T. Barnum. Quite true. It came about this way, Mr. Everett. I received the Queen's invitation only after I'd sent word to her that I was leaving England immediately to show Tom Thumb to Louis Philippe, King of France. The cavalcade of America presented by Dupont moves on. By the time Barnum was 39 years old, his American museum had become a national institution. But he sought new worlds to conquer. The date is September 11th, 1850, the scene Castle Garden in New York. The occasion, the American debut of the Swedish nightingale, Jenny Lind. It is a critical moment in the life of Barnum. Jenny Lind is opening her recital. Barnum is pacing the floor in an offstage room, as his manager, Greenwood, enters. Mr. Barnum. Oh, that you, Greenwood. Come in. I don't dare listen. How are they receiving it? Well, it's too soon to say P.T. I couldn't stay out there. I'm too nervous. How's she getting on? Well, the crowd's frightened her. Five thousand people. You could scarcely hear her first few notes. What? Stage fright? Oh, she sounded better after a minute. But I'm no judge of voices. How's the audience? Quiet? You could hear a pin drop. Wilson and Burns and all the other bankers will refuse to lend you money.  I ain't surprised. They come to gloat. It's not often they can see a man lose $187,000 in one night. I hate to think of it. You've mortgaged everything to bring her to America. Mighty peculiar, you're aided, Greenwood. I'm gambling my entire fortune on one song. Oh, will she ever finish? Yeah, mind open the door a crack. I can stand it if you can. Greenwood, listen. Say, that's the most beautiful voice they've ever heard in America. Well, let's pray the audience thinks so. She must be getting near the end. Shall I close the door, P.T.? Yes. My opinion don't count. But I didn't know she could sing like that. Greenwood, I've learned a valuable lesson tonight. I deserve to lose my fortune. There can be such a thing as too much publicity. Suppose they take a dislike to her voice because I told them she's wonderful. It ain't fair to Jenny why she sings like an angel. Listen to the door. Listen, P.T.? Open the door. Say, are they throwing things at her? I'll go and tell them. Nice to see you here. She's magnificent. Mr. Barnum, they're calling for you. She's a success. They're shouting themselves forth. Women are fainting bouquets at the stage. Castle gardens never sing like you're trying. You mean they like her? Yes. Are the American people really killing a concert singer? They certainly are. Things like a lot. A nightingale, Mr. Wilson. Well, nightingale, then. She's wonderful, Mr. Barnum. I'll offer you $100,000 for a half interest in Jenny Lynn's American tour. What? You, Mr. Wilson, who laughed me out of your office when I tried to borrow that last $5,000? Mr. Barnum. You, who told me the public would never pay a penny to hear a concert singer? I'll offer $200,000. Mr. Barnum, I was wrong. I admit it. Listen. Listen. Listen, BT. You must make a speech.  I'm coming, Greenwood. As for your kind offer, Mr. Wilson, I decline. No one was willing to share the risk of this venture, and now no one will be permitted to share the triumph. It's all mine. Was the first European concert star ever to venture into the United States? As a result of Barnum's pioneering efforts, new and larger music halls were built in the principal American cities, and distinguished vocalists followed Jenny Lynn's example in touring the country. PT Barnum, Prince of Showman, made a contribution of inestimable value to the cause of good music in the United States. But it was not until PT Barnum was 58 years old that he conceived the organization which was to give him lasting fame, the first two-ring traveling circus and menagerie. And during his 40 years as a showman, he had not been threatened by a serious competitor, not until the year 1880 when he was 70 years old. We find him in his office in Madison Square Garden, and he is not in a placid frame of mind. The faithful Greenwood is with him. The same must have that elephant in its mother, Greenwood. Every newspaper in this country shouting about the first baby elephant born in captivity. Why couldn't one of your elephants have had a baby? That's what I keep asking myself. Who is this man, James A. Bailey? Who thinks he can run a rival circus? Why don't he answer my telegram? No, don't worry. He'll accept your offer, PT. It'd be a fool not to... I figured I was a fool offering him 100,000 in cash, but I want that elephant. I can't eat. I can't sleep till I hear from him. Come in, come in. Yes, who are you? I'm busy. I don't want to disturb you. My name's Bailey. James A. Bailey. What? You're Bailey? Come right in. Did you get my telegram? Did you bring your elephant?  Sorry, Mr. Barnum. You didn't think I'd sell them, did you? You... You're refusing my offer? I'm not only refusing. I've done more than that. What are you talking about?  You've invented all the tricks of the trade. We younger men do our best, though. I brought along a handbook to show you. I've been distributing them to my patrons. I thought you'd be interested. Let me see it. What... What's this? Shall I read it to you? See? Here's the caption. This is what PT Barnum thinks of our baby elephant. And underneath, I printed your telegram in full. Your wire offering me $100,000 for our baby and its mother. I'd like to shake your hand, Mr. Bailey. At last, I've met a foreman worthy of me. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time, Mr. Barnum. That's why I came to turn down your telegram in person. Mr. Bailey, I've got an idea. A remarkable and tremendous idea. Yes? It appears to me that when two real showmen meet, two superlative showmen, they ought to be partners, not rivals. What do you mean? What would you say, Mr. Bailey, to form in a partnership with me? It's an idea. A startling idea. It's growing, Bailey. It's growing. If you and I were partners, I'd guarantee that we could produce a stupendous circus. Can't you imagine it? Three rings! Four stages! Four peas and sapphire axe all going at once! And a galaxy of clowns! Fifty! Count them! Fifty! How does it sound? Tremendous. Well, will you do it? I believe I will. Let's shake on it. To the greatest show on earth, a Barnum and Bailey circus. And so in his 70th year, P.T. Barnum reached the climax of his spectacular career and set a mark in showmanship that has never been surpassed. Speaking of circuses, it's interesting to note that a chemical development of some years ago actually saved the life of many an elephant. Here's the story. At one time, thousands of jungle jumbos were sacrificed to satisfy the feminine love for ivory toilet accessories. Herds dwindled and ivory grew scarce and increasingly expensive. Then the research chemist introduced a product known as a cellulose plastic, which could be molded and shaped into almost any form. It could be produced not only in an ivory-like finish, but in many beautiful colors as well. While only a few could afford the luxury of ivory, millions of women found pleasure in beautiful sets of toiletware made from the new product. DuPont produces this material under the well-known trademark pyrolyne. Pyrolyne can be made into objects of almost any shape, surface effect, or color. In transparent form, sheets of pyrolyne are sandwiched between sections of plate glass to make safety glass. Pyrolyne also is made into barrels for fountain pens, into toothbrush handles, handbags, and even scuffless heels for women's shoes. A companion DuPont plastic sold under the trade name Plasta Seal is also used in making a wide variety of useful products. These plastics have made sensational progress simply because they are better for many purposes than natural materials. And because the chemists used cotton linters, the short fibers from cotton seeds as one of the raw materials, an important new market was open to cotton growers. In making these and other cellulose products, DuPont uses 36 million pounds of cotton linters every year. This represents the yield from 2,175,000 acres of cotton. The discovery and development of pyrolyne, Plasta Seal, and other widely used plastics is another example of how research chemistry touches the daily lives of us all and gives meaning to the DuPont phrase, better things for better living through chemistry. Next week, the Cattle Cade of America presented by DuPont will bring you two vivid stories showing that willingness to help others is an outstanding trade among Americans. One of these dramas tells about America's first trained nurses, and the other is an interesting tale of the work done by the Traveler's Aid Society is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
