Voice Messages. Customers can either rent the pocket pagers ($16-$35 a month depending on the model) or buy them outright ($175-$400). Some models come equipped with earphones, flashing lights or vibrators for use in high-noise areas. Doctors and lawyers often choose Motorola's Pageboy II with its computer-like Mem-O-Lert, which silences the call but records it for retrieval later on.

Husky men in tight pants and T-shirts, reading "Queen," hustle about the room moving microphones and wires...

The shipwrecked sibling twins Sebastian and Viola (disguised as a pageboy) wear Cavalier rather than Elizabethan dress, similar to the "Blue Boy" garb Greenwood provided for the 1966 production. Unwisely she made the Clown's outfit insufficiently differentiated from those of the rest of Olivia's household...
