00:00:12♪♪
00:00:41♪♪
00:00:51♪♪
00:01:01♪♪
00:01:21So it is with great pleasure that our sponsor presents, for your approval, Miss Lily Durrell.
00:01:28♪♪
00:01:34♪♪
00:01:44♪♪
00:01:54♪♪
00:02:04♪♪
00:02:14♪♪
00:02:24♪♪
00:02:34She has a nice voice. Indeed she has. I happen to know her.
00:02:39♪♪
00:02:59♪♪
00:03:19Oh, Mamie. You were wonderful, darling. Just listen to that applause. You're in, darling. You're it.
00:03:34Thank you, Lily Durrell, for a swell song. Now the band with a little blues offering. It's the current hit, Shoo Shoo Blues.
00:03:42Oh, Mamie, I've been dreaming of this night so long that now that it's finally here, I just feel like screaming.
00:03:47Go ahead, honey. Cut loose. It's your night to howl.
00:03:50I've never been so happy in all my life.
00:03:52Well, you should be. With both of your feet on the ladder of success,
00:03:56and a man with a million bucks begging you to marry him, what else could you ask for?
00:04:01Oh, come right in, Mr. Farmer.
00:04:14Lily, you're a great success. Are you happy about it?
00:04:19Oh, too happy for words. And grateful, too, because you made it all possible.
00:04:24You know I appreciate everything you've done for me, don't you?
00:04:27There's nothing I wouldn't do for you, you know.
00:04:29I do. I feel like a cheat because I'm taking everything from you and giving nothing in return.
00:04:36But you're going to marry me, aren't you?
00:04:39That all depends. What about your sister?
00:04:43I have a great surprise for you.
00:04:46Eloise has given her unconditional approval of our marriage.
00:04:52I was hoping you'd be pleased to hear that.
00:04:54Oh, I am pleased, Roland. Believe me. Only...
00:04:58Only what?
00:05:00Only I'm afraid I'm not worth it.
00:05:03Lily, you're worth everything to me.
00:05:07Oh, well, excuse me.
00:05:11I know there are others waiting to congratulate you, so I'll be running along.
00:05:19And you won't forget our engagement for supper tonight, will you?
00:05:22No, I won't.
00:05:23Good.
00:05:30Well, honey, you certainly got old moneybags walking around in a day.
00:05:33What'd you do, kiss him?
00:05:35Old moneybags? Oh, Mamie, such talk.
00:05:37It's only a matter of speech.
00:05:39You speak disrespectfully of wealth.
00:05:42Mamie, do you think he's too old for me to marry?
00:05:46Are you kidding? Of course not. Man is never too old.
00:05:50He's got plenty of dough.
00:05:52Oh, Mamie.
00:05:53Well, that's my honest opinion.
00:05:56Oh, are you into this gentleman?
00:06:03Okay, I'll tell him Lily doesn't live here anymore.
00:06:07I do want to see him.
00:06:15Okay, Mr. Wingate, Mr. Rowe, I'll see you now.
00:06:25Lily.
00:06:26Hello, Jeffrey.
00:06:27So I found you at last. Am I glad to see you.
00:06:30It's nice to see you again.
00:06:32You sang gloriously tonight.
00:06:35Why did you run away from me?
00:06:37I'd rather not talk about it now, Jeffrey, please.
00:06:40But you must.
00:06:41Don't you think you at least owe me an explanation?
00:06:45I owe you an explanation?
00:06:47Yes.
00:06:48At one time you said you loved me, remember?
00:06:50Remember what you said?
00:06:52If I don't love you, I'm afraid I don't know what love is.
00:06:55But that was before you gave me the bracelet.
00:06:58Well, that's what had me baffled.
00:06:59You sent it back to me without a word of explanation.
00:07:01I thought you were pleased with it.
00:07:03I sent it back to you?
00:07:05Of course.
00:07:06You mailed it to my home, don't you remember?
00:07:11Well, what's the matter?
00:07:13Oh, Jeffrey, I've done you a terrible injustice.
00:07:15Could you ever forgive me?
00:07:17Forgive you?
00:07:18For what?
00:07:19Well, I thought you had stolen the bracelet.
00:07:22What in the world ever made you think that?
00:07:24Well, the morning after you gave it to me,
00:07:26I read in the paper where there was a jewel robbery.
00:07:28And they mentioned a diamond bracelet and...
00:07:31Yes, go on.
00:07:32Well, the place, Rob, was in the west end of the city and...
00:07:35Well, that's where we went to get the bracelet.
00:07:37But that was my home.
00:07:40I've been the subject of many uncomplimentary comparisons,
00:07:44but never before have I been suspected of being a jewel thief.
00:07:47Don't rub it in.
00:07:48I'm sorry, I'm such a silly fool.
00:07:50You're not.
00:07:52You're the dearest girl in all the world.
00:07:54I love you, Lily.
00:07:55I want you to marry me.
00:08:03When you're finished here, Milo's taxi will be waiting out front.
00:08:07And I'll be waiting for you, darling, in our old rendezvous.
00:08:23Hey, honey, what's the matter? Anything wrong?
00:08:27Who was that Apollo, anyway?
00:08:29Oh, he was an old friend of mine.
00:08:32Oh, I get it. Men of my business, huh?
00:08:41Hello, you looking for someone?
00:08:43Lily!
00:08:44Jim!
00:08:45I'm awfully glad to see you, Lily.
00:08:48Oh, dear, why didn't I learn how to sing?
00:08:52What are you doing in town?
00:08:54I sold a song to a music publisher and I'm here to sign the contract.
00:08:57Oh, I told you you could do it.
00:08:58I know you did.
00:09:00I haven't forgotten a thing you told me.
00:09:02Well, how did you know where to find me?
00:09:04I heard you broadcast over the hotel radio.
00:09:06It sounded great.
00:09:07Thanks.
00:09:08It was nice of you to sing my song.
00:09:10I told you I would if I ever got the chance.
00:09:14By the way, do you think my singing's improved since the old days?
00:09:17Oh, yes, a great deal.
00:09:19And now you're on the threshold of a great career.
00:09:22The thing you wanted most out of life.
00:09:25I have to hand it to you, Lily.
00:09:27You certainly had the courage and determination to see it through.
00:09:30Thanks, Jim.
00:09:31And now I want to toss a bouquet at you.
00:09:33At me?
00:09:34What for?
00:09:35For improving the way you have.
00:09:37Why, you used to be awkward and shy and not sure of yourself at all.
00:09:41I guess I have changed some, thanks to you.
00:09:44Thanks to me?
00:09:46Yes.
00:09:47You gave me such a nice dressing down the night I asked you to marry me.
00:09:51I never forgot it.
00:09:53What you said hurt, the truth.
00:09:57My delusions of grandeur must have been amusing to you.
00:10:00Don't, Jim.
00:10:01That's not true.
00:10:03If I hurt you, it was only because I wanted to see you make something of yourself.
00:10:07Oh, don't misunderstand me.
00:10:10I'm grateful for that bowling out.
00:10:13It was the best thing that could have happened to me.
00:10:17After you left, I organized an orchestra and made my own arrangements.
00:10:21Lily, I'm going to have the best band in the country.
00:10:24Oh, Jim, that's wonderful.
00:10:28Well, I guess I better run along.
00:10:32Goodbye and best of luck to you.
00:10:35That goes double, Jim.
00:10:37And thank you for coming to see me.
00:10:40Oh, Jim, wait.
00:10:42I almost forgot.
00:10:44Mr. Palmer is having your song published and he's going to send you the royalties.
00:10:48They all think it's a big hit.
00:10:50That was thoughtful of you.
00:10:52But I gave that song to you.
00:10:54I know you did, but I won't have it that way.
00:10:58There's something you could do for me.
00:11:00I'd appreciate more.
00:11:02What, Jim?
00:11:04Remember those walks we used to take in the moonlight?
00:11:08Well, if you're in the mood,
00:11:12and it won't interfere with any of your plans,
00:11:15I'll be waiting for you by the fountain in Olympia Park.
00:11:19I'll be waiting for you by the fountain in Olympia Park.

00:15:39A little going away present.
00:15:41Oh, thank you.
00:15:42If you need any more, you just write me.
00:15:44I will.
00:15:46Oh, I wish you didn't have to go tonight.
00:15:48It's 10 miles to town.
00:15:50Can't you wait till morning?
00:15:52No.
00:15:53I couldn't bear to face the children.
00:15:55You'll make them understand why I couldn't tell them goodbye,
00:15:58won't you?
00:15:59Of course I will, dear.
00:16:01Now come.
00:16:02No tears.
00:16:06Now come.
00:16:07No tears.
00:16:09Goodbye, dear.
00:16:10And God protect you.
00:16:12I...
00:16:13I love you, Mother Goodwin.
00:16:36What's the matter, babe?
00:16:37Sore toothies?
00:16:38Why, yes.
00:16:40May I ride with you?
00:16:42Sure.
00:16:43Sure thing.
00:16:44Hop in.
00:16:45Oh, thank you.
00:16:46Where are you headed for?
00:17:05I said, where are you going?
00:17:07Oh, nowhere in particular.
00:17:09Just any place where I can find a job.
00:17:12You mean you're starting out at this time of the night
00:17:14to look for a job without knowing where?
00:17:16Why, yes.
00:17:17Is there anything wrong with that?
00:17:19Hmm.
00:17:20Well, I'll say you've got a lot of spunk.
00:17:21What kind of a job are you looking for?
00:17:23Well, I'll take most any kind.
00:17:25If I can earn enough to pay for vocal lessons.
00:17:28You see, someday I'm going to be a singer.
00:17:31Oh, a canary, huh?
00:17:32Look, babe.
00:17:33Take it from me, a woman's place is in the home.
00:17:35Now I'm going to let you in on something.
00:17:37You appeal to me, babe.
00:17:40By the way, what is your name?
00:17:42Lily Durrell.
00:17:43Mine's Joe Monroe, and I'm pleased to meet you, Lily.
00:17:47I'm glad to know you, Joe.
00:17:49I think I'd better find you a job in my hometown
00:17:51where I can sort of look after you and protect you.
00:17:54I know.
00:17:55I'll have Gracie get you a job at the laundry.
00:17:57Gracie?
00:17:58My sister.
00:17:59She's four-lady in the ironing department.
00:18:01Oh, that's wonderful.
00:18:09You going to wear your new dress at my dinner party
00:18:11tonight, Lily?
00:18:12Yes, I am, Gracie.
00:18:13Swell.
00:18:14When Joe sees how lovely you look in it,
00:18:16don't be surprised if he asks you to marry him.
00:18:18Do you think so?
00:18:19Well, I bet on it.
00:18:20Why, he's so nutty about you.
00:18:21Frank said he ran the truck off the road
00:18:23twice on their last trip.
00:18:27You could do a lot worse, Lily.
00:18:28Joe's steady and reliable.
00:18:30Yes, I know.
00:18:31And he'd bring his dough home, too,
00:18:33like Frank does instead of spend it outside the family.
00:18:36And does he love Q?
00:18:39Well, don't let him forget dinner's at 7 o'clock.
00:18:41All right, Gracie.
00:18:46So the moron walked through the screen door
00:18:48and strained himself.
00:18:53I want some more ice cream.
00:18:55More ice cream.
00:18:56Don't do that, Lily.
00:18:57You should set a better example for your brothers.
00:19:01More ice cream.
00:19:02More ice cream.
00:19:03More ice cream.
00:19:04You kids stop that infernal racket.
00:19:06Do you want to wake up little Elmer?
00:19:07We ain't making any more noise in the radio.
00:19:10Now, don't you be impudent, Willie.
00:19:11I'll take a stick to you.
00:19:13Soft pedal that radio, will you, Frank?
00:19:15Yeah.
00:19:21Stop that pounding.
00:19:22You want to break them plates?
00:19:25I told you you'd wake up, Elmer.
00:19:28Mother, will you see to it?
00:19:29Yes, dear.
00:19:34Come on, Joe.
00:19:35Give us another story.
00:19:36Oh, you tell them.
00:19:37It's your turn.
00:19:38Oh, I can't tell them as good as you can.
00:19:39What for?
00:19:40It's more chummy sitting around the table.
00:19:41Oh, Elmer's squalling so loud I can't hear myself think.
00:19:44Well, it's a little squalling.
00:19:45You two better get used to it, if you catch what I mean.
00:19:48Let's do go in the front room.
00:19:49I ought to hear Lily think.
00:19:50Yeah.
00:19:51Now you're talking.
00:19:52Come on, Louie.
00:19:53Oh, I'd rather not.
00:19:54I have a headache.
00:19:55Oh, come on.
00:19:56Gracie will get you an aspirin.
00:19:57No, please.
00:19:58I really don't feel like it.
00:19:59Don't you feel good, baby?
00:20:00No.
00:20:01So that's why you've been so quiet all evening.
00:20:03If you don't mind, I'd like to go home.
00:20:05Well, of course we don't mind, you poor dear.
00:20:07But let me give you an aspirin before you go.
00:20:13I'm sorry you feel bad, honey.
00:20:15So am I.
00:20:17I'm sorry to break up the party.
00:20:19Oh, forget it.
00:20:20We get our lives to make whoopee in.
00:20:22Us four.
00:20:23Gracie, hurry up with that aspirin.
00:20:25Coming.
00:20:26I'm coming.
00:20:39You ready to go, honey?
00:20:40Yes, Joe.
00:20:41And Gracie, thank you for a lovely dinner.
00:20:44And tell Mother I'll pick her up later, Gracie.
00:20:46Good night.
00:20:47Good night.
00:20:48Good night, Lily.
00:20:53Darn those hiccups.
00:20:54I get them every time I eat cabbage.
00:20:56You feeling any better, honey?
00:20:57Yes, a lot.
00:20:58Then let's sit out here and do a little spooning, huh?
00:21:01Oh, well, not tonight, Joe.
00:21:03I'm just not in the mood.
00:21:04But I've got something important to ask you.
00:21:06You must know I'm crazy about you.
00:21:08Will you marry me, honey?
00:21:09Will you, huh?
00:21:10Please, Joe.
00:21:12What's the matter, Lily?
00:21:14Don't ask me tonight.
00:21:16I'd like to think about it.
00:21:18I'll let you know tomorrow.
00:21:20OK, baby.
00:21:21Thanks, Joe.
00:21:22Good night.
00:21:23Good night, honey.
00:21:37Oh, lady.
00:21:38Yes?
00:21:39The cafe ain't open in the daytime.
00:21:41Oh, but I have an appointment with Mr. Garfield.
00:21:44Oh, that's different.
00:21:45We'll go right on in.
00:21:47You'll find him in his office upstairs.
00:21:53Look, Ann, I'm too busy to talk to you any longer.
00:21:56I've got to go.
00:21:57I've got to go.
00:21:58I've got to go.
00:21:59I've got to go.
00:22:00I've got to go.
00:22:01I've got to go.
00:22:02I've got to go.
00:22:03I've got to go.
00:22:04I've got to go.
00:22:05I'm too busy to talk to you any longer.
00:22:08You what?
00:22:10Now, don't get melodramatic.
00:22:20Well, good morning, Miss Durrell.
00:22:21Come right in.
00:22:27So you'd like to sing in my nightclub, eh?
00:22:29Yes, I would.
00:22:31Well, if you can sing as sweet as you look, maybe we can arrange it.
00:22:34Why don't you sing something for me?
00:22:36The piano's over there.
00:22:43Like to have a little bourbon?
00:22:45No, thank you.
00:22:48What would you like to have me sing, Mr. Garfield?
00:22:51Oh, anything, my dear.
00:22:54Only don't be so formal.
00:22:56All of my entertainers call me Duke.
00:23:05Once around the clock, and then goodnight, one perfect hour with you.
00:23:29Once around the clock, to hold you tight, one thrilling rendezvous.
00:23:46Time marches on, so be tender.
00:23:55This hour was meant for surrender.
00:24:03We can live a life in each tick-tock.
00:24:15Just one more clock.
00:24:29Bravo, my dear.
00:24:31You have a very lovely voice.
00:24:34Now, how about your wardrobe?
00:24:37You'll need several smart evening gowns.
00:24:39Well, I'm afraid I haven't any that would do.
00:24:42Well, don't let that worry you.
00:24:45I'll buy them for you.
00:24:47And you can pay me back out of your salary.
00:24:49Oh.
00:24:54Excuse me a moment, please.
00:25:02Ann, don't be absurd.
00:25:06Let's talk this thing over.
00:25:09We don't want any trouble.
00:25:14All right.
00:25:15Lily.
00:25:43Lily.
00:25:45Lily.
00:26:15Oh, dear.
00:26:45Oh, dear.
00:27:16And I am indeed pleased to hear that the new wing on the home for crippled children has
00:27:23been completed and is ready for occupancy.
00:27:26As donor of the needed improvement, I shall be very glad to attend its dedication.
00:27:31But I'm sure that the handicapped children will appreciate ice cream and cake a lot more
00:27:36than any speech I might make.
00:27:41How would you like to accompany me to the dedication?
00:27:44Why, I'd like to very much.
00:27:46Splendid.
00:27:47You and I will save the ice cream and cake.
00:27:52Oh, Louise.
00:27:53Well, my dear.
00:27:55Welcome home.
00:27:56It's good to be home, darling.
00:27:58My dear, this is Mr. L, the young lady I mentioned in my letter.
00:28:01Mr. L, this is my sister.
00:28:03I'm very pleased to meet you, Miss Palmer.
00:28:05How do you do?
00:28:06I don't wonder you wrote to me about her, Roland.
00:28:08She's really very pretty.
00:28:10And you do get so much inspiration from her pretty face, don't you, darling?
00:28:13But I must warn you.
00:28:14My brother has reached the age where he's very susceptible to youthful charms
00:28:18and he's apt to become romantic.
00:28:20Aren't you, Roland, darling?
00:28:22Eloise, I...
00:28:23But don't let it worry you.
00:28:24He's really very harmless.
00:28:26If you'll excuse me, please.
00:28:29Eloise.
00:28:30You should have been with us.
00:28:31We had the most wonderful time with her and Princess just before I left.
00:28:35You know, I can't understand...

00:31:34I can't understand...
00:31:35I can't understand...
00:31:36I can't understand...
00:31:37I just couldn't let you do that.
00:31:39Why, you wouldn't be such a foolish girl
00:31:40to toss off an opportunity of a lifetime.
00:31:43But it just isn't right for a girl
00:31:44to accept such a gift from her employer.
00:31:47But you're taking the wrong point of view.
00:31:49What's the difference in Mr. Palmer
00:31:51is helping crippled children
00:31:53or is helping a fine young woman achieve success?
00:31:57There is really no difference, Lily.
00:31:58Not at all. Not at all.
00:32:01Well, you like to take your first lesson tomorrow night?
00:32:05Well, I...
00:32:06Fine, fine.
00:32:08I knew you would change your mind
00:32:10when you realized how important that is for you.
00:32:13Now, I must go.
00:32:20Remember, tomorrow night at 8 o'clock.
00:32:23Good night.
00:32:24Good night.
00:32:27I just can't go through with it, Mr. Palmer.
00:32:29You'll have to tell Mr. Verdi.
00:32:31But why not, my dear?
00:32:33Why do you want to do this for me?
00:32:35Because your happiness means a great deal to me.
00:32:38And, uh, because I've fallen in love with you, Lily.
00:32:42And if you don't mind, I'd like to hope
00:32:43that someday you'd care enough for me
00:32:45to become my wife.
00:32:46Oh, please, Mr. Palmer, I...
00:32:48Don't give it a thought now, my dear.
00:32:50Later on, after you've achieved your ambition,
00:32:52we'll discuss the subject more thoroughly.
00:33:00And you will keep the appointment with Señor Verdi,
00:33:02won't you?
00:33:03Yes.
00:33:04Thank you, my dear.
00:33:06Good night.
00:33:07Good night.
00:33:35Oh, good evening, Miss Palmer.
00:33:36Won't you come in?
00:33:41Won't you sit down?
00:33:42Well, I really haven't much time.
00:33:44I'm sorry about my brother.
00:33:45He just left, didn't he?
00:33:47Why, yes.
00:33:48It was thoughtful of him to bring along Señor Verdi.
00:33:50You did arrange for lessons with the maestro, didn't you?
00:33:53Why, yes, I did, but I...
00:33:54You're rather charming, Miss Durrell.
00:33:56And I've no doubt you could be quite a remarkable singer.
00:33:59And I'm sure you'll find Mr. Palmer
00:34:01And I've no doubt you could be quite a remarkable singer.
00:34:04But your career is not my brother's responsibility.
00:34:07And if you have any idea that he's going to finance
00:34:09your musical education, you're greatly mistaken.
00:34:12Oh, but it's you that's mistaken, Miss Palmer.
00:34:14You see, I...
00:34:15Don't play the injured innocent with me.
00:34:17As an actress, you're not bad.
00:34:19You almost convince me that you have no intention
00:34:21of tricking my brother into marrying you.
00:34:23But that's not true.
00:34:25You've no right to say things like that.
00:34:27No?
00:34:28Any sister has the right to prevent her brother
00:34:30from making a fool of himself.
00:34:32Roland has always been the kind of person
00:34:34who was easily captivated.
00:34:36But, my dear, you must realize a man in his position
00:34:38can't take these flirtations serious.
00:34:40But, Miss Palmer, I...
00:34:42There's so many things to be considered.
00:34:44Education, background, family.
00:34:47By the way, Roland tells me you were brought up in an orphanage.
00:34:50Who were your parents, my dear?
00:34:52What were they?
00:34:53How dare you talk to me like this?
00:34:55Get out of here. Leave me alone.
00:34:57I was sure you'd rather not discuss it.
00:34:59Oh, by the way, how large shall I make your check?
00:35:03What?
00:35:05How much money will you take to get out of town permanently?
00:35:08Get out of here.
00:35:10Very well.
00:35:14I do wish you'd listen to reason.
00:35:16It would be so much simpler.
00:35:18As it is, I shall have to have you thoroughly investigated.
00:35:21Oh, you don't like the idea.
00:35:24Good night, Mr. L.
00:35:29Good night.
00:35:45Oh, I'm sorry. I thought the cab was unoccupied.
00:35:48Well, there's a possibility it'll be for hire any minute.
00:35:53Get right in.
00:35:56Mr. Wingate, she said no.
00:35:58And she said she'd just assume you didn't call again.
00:36:03Where do you wish to go, miss?
00:36:05To the bus station.
00:36:07But, Mr. Wingate, you promised me I'd keep my date with my girl after I brought you up here.
00:36:11But you wouldn't want me to miss my bus, would you, Milo?
00:36:14Well, what am I gonna do with these poses?
00:36:16Give them to your girl.
00:36:18Oh, thanks.
00:36:22What are you running away from?
00:36:25What makes you think I'm running away?
00:36:27You know the symptoms.
00:36:29I've had several occasions to run away myself.
00:36:33All right, I'm running away from trouble.
00:36:36So what?
00:36:38I'd advise a cup of coffee to steady the nerves.
00:36:41Milo, stop at the Mandarin Cafe.
00:36:44Yes, sir.
00:36:45But I want to go to the bus station.
00:36:47That might be just the wrong move.
00:36:49After I hear your story, I'll tell you what to do.
00:36:53You used good judgment in running away from Palmer and his meddlesome sister.
00:36:57But running away from a murder where you were the suspect,
00:37:00well, that's a horse of a different color.
00:37:02But I was so frightened I didn't realize what an awful thing I was doing.
00:37:06Naturally.
00:37:07You couldn't have been in a tighter spot if you'd been framed.
00:37:10Didn't you even get a glimpse of the pistol-packing gal?
00:37:13No.
00:37:16Well, uh, didn't you write to your friend Mamie to find out what the score was?
00:37:20No, I was afraid to.
00:37:22Well, there's one thing's sure.
00:37:24Curiosity will never get you in a jam.
00:37:27You said you'd tell me what to do.
00:37:30First, stop worrying.
00:37:32Second, you'll have to try and find your new job.
00:37:35I'll give you a card of introduction to a friend of mine who has a cafe.
00:37:38If you can really sing, he might give you a job.
00:37:41I won't guarantee it.
00:37:42Oh, thank you.
00:37:43Oh, don't thank me.
00:37:44You'll have to make good on your own.
00:37:46You'll have to make good on your own.
00:37:48And don't think that every man you meet's gonna fall for you like that fella Palmer.
00:37:52Oh, I don't.
00:37:53Good.
00:37:54Love's a lot of nonsense, anyway.
00:37:57Well, it's getting late.
00:38:00You'll have to find yourself a new home.
00:38:02So, come on.
00:38:16Don't be sad, don't be blue.
00:38:44Love will come your way.
00:38:47Dry your tears and have no fears.
00:38:50And listen to me while I say.
00:38:54I saw it in the stars above.
00:38:57I know just what you're thinking of.
00:39:00I know your thoughts are all of love.
00:39:03And I predict you'll fall in love.
00:39:06I saw it in a crystal ball.
00:39:09The type of man for whom you'll fall.
00:39:12Dark and handsome and he's tall.
00:39:15I predict you'll fall in love.
00:39:18Much success and happiness I can see for you.
00:39:23But don't tempt fate or you'll be late.
00:39:27Make your love a permanent date.
00:39:31I saw it in a cup of tea.
00:39:34That love to you is a mystery.
00:39:37But soon you'll be the bride to be.
00:39:40And I predict you'll fall in love.
00:39:43I saw it in a crystal ball.
00:39:46The type of man for whom you'll fall.
00:39:49He's dark and handsome but slightly bald.
00:39:53Still I predict you'll fall in love.
00:39:56The cards reveal that you adore.
00:39:59That handsome mug but here's a door.
00:40:03His wife is coming through the door.
00:40:06And I predict goodbye to love.
00:40:09The wise men of the ages past.
00:40:12Had wisdom that was vast.
00:40:15But love it seems was one of those dreams.
00:40:18That always had them quite outclassed.
00:40:22I saw it in a cup of tea.
00:40:25That love to you is a mystery.
00:40:28But soon you'll be the bride to be.
00:40:31For I predict you'll fall in love.
00:40:35Oh, Jeffrey, when did you get back in town?
00:40:38About an hour ago.
00:40:39Well, where have you been?
00:40:40Oh, I had some time on my hands.
00:40:42So I paid a visit to a city where once upon a time
00:40:45a very lovely girl ran away from a murder.
00:40:48Oh, don't keep me in suspense.
00:40:49Here, sit down and tell me all about it.
00:40:52Well, it seems that the police were very close.
00:40:56And the unknown girl who ran away until
00:40:58the next morning was found.
00:41:01Well, the unknown girl who ran away until
00:41:05Until what?
00:41:06Until the girl who actually shot Duke Garfield
00:41:08turned up to clear up the mystery.
00:41:14Oh, Jeffrey, you're a peach.
00:41:17You can't imagine how much this means to me.
00:41:20Gosh, now I can sleep at night.
00:41:22So can I.
00:41:24You know, seeing you worry caused me to worry too.
00:41:29By the way, you got a date with anyone tonight?
00:41:32Now, let me see.
00:41:34No, I'm available.
00:41:36May I see you home?
00:41:37Uh-huh.
00:41:38Well, I've got something very important to talk about.
00:41:40Well, now you've aroused my curiosity.
00:41:42Oh, it'll keep until I have your undivided attention.
00:41:45Oh, it's like that, is it?
00:41:47That's right.
00:41:48After you've sung goodnight to your public,
00:41:50we'll take a little ride, huh?
00:41:53I suppose there were a lot of fellows
00:41:55wanting to take you home every night while I was away.
00:41:59I was afraid of that.
00:42:01Why?
00:42:03Can't you guess?
00:42:05No.
00:42:15Well, what are we stopping here for?
00:42:17I want to get something for you.
00:42:19But you never told me you had a home like this.
00:42:22There are a lot of things I haven't told you.
00:42:24Let me have your flashlight, Milo.
00:42:26Hey, uh...
00:42:28The house has been closed for months
00:42:30and the electric current shut off.
00:42:42Better stick close to me
00:42:43so you don't trip over the furniture.
00:42:55This is the drawing room, what you can see of it.
00:43:00Here, sit down here, my dear.
00:43:02I'll go get what I came after.
00:43:04It'll only be a minute.
00:43:24Come on.
00:43:43And now for the important question I wanted to ask you.
00:43:45It's about time.
00:43:47I'm dying of curiosity.
00:43:49Fibber, you know I'm madly in love with you.
00:43:51I want you to marry me, Lily.
00:43:53You're in love with me too, aren't you?
00:43:55Well, if I'm not, then I'm afraid I don't know what love is.
00:43:59I'll spend the rest of my life making love to you.
00:44:07Here's your engagement present, darling.
00:44:09Oh, Jeffrey, it's beautiful.
00:44:15Now, that's Milo.
00:44:17Milo?
00:44:18Yes, he's wondering what's taking us so long.
00:44:20Wouldn't he be surprised if he knew?
00:44:22I doubt if he'd be surprised at anything.
00:44:24Well, we'd better go. He has a date with his girl.
00:45:23I don't know what it is.
00:45:25I don't know what it is.
00:45:27I don't know what it is.
00:45:39I don't know what it is.
00:45:46I don't know what it is.
00:45:52I don't know what it is.
00:46:11Officer.
00:46:22Officer.
00:46:44Here I am, Miss Andrews.
00:46:46I guess I must have missed seeing you get off the bus.
00:46:48Lucky you saw our school sign on the station wagon.
00:46:50Jim Lacey, one of the faculty, professor of music.
00:46:52I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Lacey.
00:46:54So am I. I mean, I'm glad to meet you.
00:46:57Shall we be on our way?
00:47:02Get right in, Miss Andrews.
00:47:03Really, Mr. Lacey, I owe you an explanation. You see, I...
00:47:07You left your purse in the bus station, miss.
00:47:10Oh, I must be getting careless. Thank you very much.
00:47:12Don't mention it. Glad it's been of service.
00:47:15Say, it's fortunate for you some thief didn't find it.
00:47:17Yes, it was.
00:47:19Well, we'd better be on our way.
00:47:21Let's go.
00:47:45Tell me, how far is the school from the bus station?
00:47:49About ten miles, I should judge.
00:47:51Just a nice little hike for a physical culture teacher like you.
00:47:55I'd like it at the school.
00:47:57When you get used to Miss Wiggins.
00:47:59Miss Wiggins?
00:48:00Our principal. You corresponded with her.
00:48:03Oh, yes, Miss Wiggins.
00:48:06Tell me, what sort of person is she?
00:48:09Just like the letters she writes.
00:48:11Short and to the point.
00:48:13But a very able executive and teacher.
00:48:16I'm beginning to be a little afraid.
00:48:18Don't feel that way.
00:48:19Well, the school needs somebody young and up-to-date like you to teach physical education.
00:48:49Well, here we are.
00:49:09The order for the new textbooks was sent in three weeks ago, Miss Wiggins.
00:49:13Thank you, Miss Ellis.
00:49:15Come in.
00:49:18Ladies, Miss Grace Andrews.
00:49:20Welcome to Van Rensselaer, Miss Andrews.
00:49:23I'm Miss Wiggins.
00:49:25How do you do, Miss Wiggins?
00:49:26This is Miss Ellis, my assistant.
00:49:28Welcome, Miss Andrews.
00:49:29Thank you, Miss Ellis.
00:49:30Mr. Lacey, would you be kind enough to show Miss Andrews to her room?
00:49:33It's number four.
00:49:35It'll be a pleasure.
00:49:36After you've made yourself comfortable, Miss Andrews, I'll be delighted to show you around
00:49:40and introduce you to the other members of the faculty.
00:49:45Regarding those new textbooks, Miss Ellis, I want to speak to you about them.
00:49:51I hope you like it here, Miss Andrews.
00:49:57This is your room.
00:49:59Well, I'll see you later.
00:50:02All right.
00:50:15Well.
00:50:17How do you do, Miss Andrews?
00:50:19So you're the new physical culture teacher for the Van Rensselaer School for Girls.
00:50:29We all know the benefits to be derived from physical exercise.
00:50:33But in order to obtain those benefits, one must enjoy them.
00:50:36And that's why I'm here.
00:50:39All right, girls, get ready.
00:51:09I want to congratulate you, Miss Andrews.
00:51:38I have never before seen such enthusiasm displayed in any of our gymnasium classes.
00:51:42And I must say, I've met one teacher whose personality and ability
00:51:46far exceed her letters of recommendation.
00:51:48Why, thank you, Miss Wiggins.
00:51:50Continue your class, Miss Andrews.
00:52:08Oh, Miss Andrews.
00:52:30Going for a walk?
00:52:32Why, yes.
00:52:34Would you mind if I accompany you?
00:52:36Why, no, not at all.
00:52:38Thanks.
00:52:47Would you mind walking a bit slower?
00:52:49I'm not used to exercise like you are.
00:52:51Sorry, I didn't think you'd tire so easily.
00:52:53Guess I've let myself get out of condition.
00:52:55Yes, you're pretty soft for a man of your age.
00:52:59It's funny, but I don't feel a bit tired anymore since my muscles got limbered up.
00:53:02It's all in getting used to it.
00:53:09You know, you've made a terrific hit with all the students.
00:53:11You're all they've been talking about since you gave them that physical culture lesson.
00:53:14Let's talk about you for a while.
00:53:16I'm awfully tired of hearing about myself.
00:53:18Well, I always feel self-conscious when I talk about myself.
00:53:22But I would like to know your impression of me.
00:53:24Well, it's a bit too soon to form much of an impression, but...
00:53:27I can't help wondering why a strapping big six-footer like you would have...
00:53:31would have chosen to be a music teacher
00:53:33when there's so many more important things in the world for a man to do.
00:53:36Well, I never considered that size had anything to do with determining a man's vocation.
00:53:40Oh, you don't get what I mean.
00:53:42What do you mean?
00:53:44Well, I...
00:53:46I've always associated big men with big jobs.
00:53:49Big jobs?
00:53:51I've always associated big men with big jobs.
00:53:54Being leaders in their chosen fields.
00:53:57Now, how far do you ever expect to get by just being a music teacher?
00:54:01If you're interested in music, why don't you...
00:54:03why don't you become an orchestra leader?
00:54:05Or a composer?
00:54:06Now, I have composed some music,
00:54:08but I never tried to do anything with it.
00:54:10Well, what good is that going to do you?
00:54:13You're right.
00:54:15Do you know it was awfully nice of you to give me such constructive criticism?
00:54:19I guess I've been taking myself too much for granted.
00:54:21Well, I could tell you a lot more, but it's getting late.
00:54:24Should we start back to school?
00:54:28Oh, I could have gotten up all right, but thanks.
00:54:41Oh!
00:54:43I'm sorry you twisted your ankle.
00:54:45I'm sorry you had to carry me so far.
00:54:47Oh, it was nothing.
00:54:48Maybe you ought to carry upstairs.
00:54:49Oh, no, I can make it all right from here.
00:54:52But I do want to thank you for being so gallant.
00:54:54Oh, don't mention it.
00:54:56It was a pleasure.
00:54:57I mean, glad to be of service.
00:55:00Maybe I could do something for you in return.
00:55:02You can.
00:55:03Will you visit my music class someday?
00:55:05You have such good ideas.
00:55:07Maybe you can improve my teaching technique.
00:55:10I'd be glad to.
00:55:12Good night, Professor.
00:55:13Good night.
00:55:14Oh, Miss Andrews.
00:55:16This letter you wrote to Miss Wiggins from New York came this afternoon.
00:55:20I guess there's no use giving it to her now that you're here.
00:55:23Well, thank you.
00:55:24Good night.
00:55:25Good night.
00:55:46Good night.
00:56:16Good night.
00:56:17Good night.
00:56:18Good night.
00:56:19Good night.
00:56:20Good night.
00:56:21Good night.
00:56:22Good night.
00:56:23Good night.
00:56:24Good night.
00:56:25Good night.
00:56:26Good night.
00:56:27Good night.
00:56:28Good night.
00:56:29Good night.
00:56:30Good night.
00:56:31Good night.
00:56:32Good night.
00:56:33Good night.
00:56:34Good night.
00:56:35Good night.
00:56:36Good night.
00:56:37Good night.
00:56:38Good night.
00:56:39Good night.
00:56:40Good night.
00:56:41Good night.
00:56:42Good night.
00:56:43Good night.
00:56:44Good night.
00:57:07That's all for today, girls.
00:57:09Class dismissed.
00:57:12Miss Andrews?
00:57:13Yes, Kim?
00:57:14I have something I want to show you.
00:57:16It's a song I've written.
00:57:18Heaven on Earth.
00:57:19That's a cute title.
00:57:21Do you really think so?
00:57:22Well, I think it's swell.
00:57:24Would you sing it over for me and tell me if you
00:57:27think it has any merit?
00:57:28Why, I'd love to, Jim.
00:57:31My life is a song, a beautiful song, a melody of myrrh.
00:57:55It happened the day that love came my way.
00:58:01It's heaven on earth.
00:58:07The clouds that were gray all floated away
00:58:14and gave the blue its birth.
00:58:20One look in your eyes, and I found the skies
00:58:27of heaven on earth.
00:58:33Now when I walk, I'm always walking
00:58:39around in a sea of air.
00:58:43And when I talk, I'm always talking
00:58:49to no one but angels there.
00:58:57Since you came along and made life a song,
00:59:06and all that it is worth, I knew that my heart would someday
00:59:18get smart.
00:59:21It's heaven on earth.
00:59:32Why have you been concealing such a wonderful voice?
00:59:35You made my mediocre song sound beautiful.
00:59:38Young man, when are you going to stop belittling yourself?
00:59:41Your song is beautiful.
00:59:43Do you really mean that?
00:59:44Why, you should be ashamed.
00:59:46Are you going to let an inferiority complex
00:59:48hold you back forever?
00:59:50Why, no.
00:59:51Well, that's better.
00:59:53What gave you the idea for the song?
00:59:56You did?
00:59:57I did.
00:59:58Yes.
01:00:00You were my inspiration, Molly.
01:00:03I was thinking of you every minute while I was writing it.
01:00:09I hope I'm not intruding, but there's a gentleman
01:00:12inquiring about you, Miss Andrews.
01:00:14He's waiting for you in the reception room.
01:00:16Thank you, Miss Ellis.
01:00:17I'll go right over.
01:00:23You better let me handle it, Lily.
01:00:24He may be a detective.
01:00:25No, Jim.
01:00:26There's no use postponing it any longer.
01:00:29I'd rather get it over with.
01:00:32Well, I'll be around in case you need me.
01:00:35Thank you, Jim.
01:00:46Lily, I've been hunting all over for you,
01:00:49even hired detectives.
01:00:51Why did you run away?
01:00:53You should know.
01:00:54But Eloise never intended to carry out her threat.
01:00:57She's extremely sorry and wants to apologize.
01:01:00I just don't want any more trouble.
01:01:02I've had enough.
01:01:04I know.
01:01:05But I'd be the last person to cause you any.
01:01:08However, that's beside the point.
01:01:10I had a more important reason for wanting to find you.
01:01:14There's an opportunity for you to become soloist for one
01:01:17of our large radio advertisers, which
01:01:20can mean national stardom.
01:01:21It's a chance of a lifetime, Lily.
01:01:23And it's yours for the taking, my dear.
01:01:26What do you say?
01:01:29It's too good to be true.
01:01:31Then you'll accept?
01:01:32I'd love to.
01:01:33That's fine.
01:01:45Well, this looks like the end of the road.
01:01:48The end of everything for me, I guess.
01:01:51Oh, don't be like that, Jim.
01:01:53Why, you should be glad of my getting
01:01:55such a wonderful opportunity.
01:01:57I am glad.
01:01:59But I can't bear the thought of your going away.
01:02:01I'm not seeing you every day.
01:02:03Well, I'll be seeing you from time to time.
01:02:06That isn't enough.
01:02:08I don't want to lose you.
01:02:10Don't you understand?
01:02:12I love you.
01:02:13Oh, please, Jim.
01:02:15Please don't spoil everything.
01:02:17I love you so much you're driving me crazy.
01:02:20I want to marry you, Lily.
01:02:22Will you?
01:02:24I've enjoyed your friendship, Jim,
01:02:26and our pleasant companionship.
01:02:29But you're presuming a lot when you think
01:02:32that I'm in love with you.
01:02:34If I ever gave you that impression,
01:02:37I'm sorry, because I didn't mean to.
01:02:40Well, you don't think I'd give up a career
01:02:42for just loving a cottage with a music professor?
01:02:47Oh, Jim, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings.
01:02:49I didn't mean to.
01:02:51But you do want me to speak frankly, don't you?
01:02:54Why, yes, of course.
01:02:56Then we can still be friends if you want to.
01:02:59And after I'm a success, why,
01:03:01I'll give you a song recognition by singing it.
01:03:03And then you can reap all the financial benefits.
01:03:07I gave that song to you.
01:03:10And I don't want to ever hear it again.
01:03:13Goodbye, and good luck, Lily.
01:03:22That's very good.
01:03:24I'm glad you like it.
01:03:32Good evening.
01:03:33Good evening.
01:03:34Hello.
01:03:35Hello, Roland.
01:03:36Good evening, my dear.
01:03:37Signor.
01:03:38Signor.
01:03:39Mr. Thorndyke, it's so nice to see you again.
01:03:41Thanks, Mr. Rell.
01:03:42How are you, Bertie?
01:03:43How do you do?
01:03:44George has set your debut for next week.
01:03:46All that remains now is to select the song you'll sing.
01:03:48Have you decided what you'd like to sing?
01:03:50Yes, I have.
01:03:51It's a song called Heaven on Earth.
01:03:53Hmm, sounds intriguing.
01:03:55But it's an unpublished number by an unknown composer.
01:03:57That makes no difference if it's good.
01:03:59It has all the earmarks of a popular song hit.
01:04:02It's just the kind of a song I want.
01:04:04Would you mind singing it for me?
01:04:05Not at all.
01:04:07It's a very catchy tune,
01:04:08but I thought you wanted something classical.
01:04:10Whatever gave you that idea?
01:04:12Something classical is just what I don't want.
01:04:20♪
01:04:30My life is a song
01:04:35A beautiful song
01:04:38A melody of myrrh
01:04:43It happened the day
01:04:46That love came my way
01:04:49It's heaven on earth
01:04:55The clouds that were gray
01:04:59All floated away
01:05:02And gave the blue its color
01:05:07One look in your eyes
01:05:11And I found the skies
01:05:14Heaven on earth
01:05:19Now when I walk
01:05:22I'm always walking
01:05:25Around in a sea of air
01:05:29And when I talk
01:05:32I'm always talking
01:05:36To no one but angels there
01:05:43Since you came along
01:05:47And made life a song
01:05:51And all that it is worth
01:05:56I knew that my heart
01:06:00Would someday get smart
01:06:05It's heaven on earth
01:06:19Hey, what are you doing, daydreaming?
01:06:21Have you forgotten Mr. Palmer's waiting for you?
01:06:24What a girl.
01:06:25It's a good thing you got little Mamie around.
01:06:28Come on, step on it, Miss Nightingale.
01:06:30Okay, Grandma.
01:06:31Now look, darling.
01:06:33This is your night.
01:06:35Go out and have fun, will you?
01:06:37That's what I'm going to do, Mamie.
01:06:39Good.
01:06:47Evening, Mr. L.
01:06:48Hello, Milo.
01:06:50Evening, Mr. L.
01:06:51Hello, Milo.
01:07:19Thank you, Milo.
01:07:49THE END
