Blue Angel Scene

In class we were shown a clip from the movie "Blue Angel", the clip in question being a scene where the professor returns Lola's shorts. The night prior, the professor mistakenly takes Lola's shorts thinking it was his handkerchief. The scene starts off with a clown entering Lola's room holding flowers. The scene lingers on the clown's face revealing a saddened expression and then the door closes as he enter a different room. A moment after, the professor enters the room where Lola is and then closes the door like the clown. Lola banters with the professor stating that all men come back for her. The two sit down and Lola hands the professor some powder to hold. Although not explicitly shown the clown is in the other room likely removing his make-up after his performance. In contrast the professor is in Lola's room helping her apply make-up. In addition, the professor's students are hiding underneath the floor laughing at him. This scene is representative of the current clown exiting and the professor taking on his role. The students are like the audience to this little private performance between Lola and professor.
