[00:12.12]A papier-machine musical box in the shape of a barrel organ

[00:20.82]This item
[00:21.88]Discovered in the vaults of the theatre
[00:24.50]Still in working order
[00:26.76]Showing here
[00:28.54]May I start at twenty Francs?
[00:30.98]Fifteen then?
[00:32.04]Fifteen I am bid.

[00:49.97]A collector's piece indeed
[00:54.59]Every detail exactly as she said
[01:00.33]She often spoke of you, my friend
[01:03.76]Your velvet lining and your figurine of lead
[01:10.46]Will you still play
[01:13.42]When all the rest of us are dead?
[01:18.89]Lot 666, then
[01:20.73]A chandelier in pieces.
[01:23.41]Some of you may recall the strange affair of The Phantom of the Opera
[01:27.89]A mystery never fully explained.
[01:30.17]We are told, ladies and gentlemen
[01:31.90]That this is the very chandelier which figures in the famous disaster.
[01:37.48]Our workshops have restored it
[01:39.40]And fitted up parts of it with wiring for the new electric light
[01:42.88]So that we may get a hint of what it may look like when reassembled
[01:47.45]Perhaps we may frighten away the ghost of so many years ago
[01:51.70]With a little illumination, gentlemen!
