00:00:30Oh
00:00:52Say you like
00:00:56The short
00:01:00I
00:01:30Oh
00:01:32It's me, Lola.
00:01:58Come here, or I'll break your neck!
00:02:22Come here!
00:02:23Come here!
00:02:24Get out of there!
00:02:31Get out of there!
00:02:36Shut up and lay down there!
00:02:45How dare you!
00:02:47I wish you actors would keep out of here.
00:02:49I'm having enough trouble with that monkey.
00:02:51You're an unmitigated brute, sir!
00:02:53Okay, Ham, go fry an egg.
00:02:56Sit here, Macintosh!
00:02:57You've cut Geraldine's lip!
00:02:58Did that shame!
00:02:59I should report your outrageous conduct to the Humane Society.
00:03:00Go ahead, and while you're reporting, tell them about this.
00:03:01See?
00:03:02That's where that hairy sea devil scratched me when I was feeding her.
00:03:03Biting the hand that feeds her.
00:03:04Tolerance and the milk of human kindness would soon win her to your side.
00:03:05Listen, actor, I'm handling that monkey.
00:03:06And if she goes too far, I'm going to kill her.
00:03:07I'm going to kill her!
00:03:08I'm going to kill her!
00:03:09I'm going to kill her!

00:03:54I'm going to kill her!
00:03:55I'm going to kill her!
00:03:56I'm going to kill her!
00:03:57I'm going to kill her!
00:03:58I'm going to kill her!
00:03:59I'm going to kill her!
00:04:00I'm going to kill her!
00:04:01I'm going to kill her!
00:04:02I'm going to kill her!
00:04:03I'm going to kill her!
00:04:05Oh my...
00:04:12I have never seen such a place in all my life...
00:04:14This heat's just driving me to distraction.
00:04:18Well, it'll be cooler in September.
00:04:19September.
00:04:20Thank heaven we will be here then.
00:04:21Any word from Andre?
00:04:23Not a thing, my dear. Not a thing.
00:04:25Do you hope he gets here on time?
00:04:27Uncle Dimer, I won't leave without seeing him.
00:04:31Oh, perhaps he's marooned a hundred miles up the river, Auntie.
00:04:35He knew we were leaving, why couldn't he have waited?
00:04:37My dear Gertrude, the plantation needs him.
00:04:39Plantation? Natives, insects, pigs, even the Maxis won't strike.
00:04:45I tell you, if I ever get back home again, I'll never leave them.
00:04:48Here.
00:04:50He's coming. He's here.
00:04:53Oh, well, it's about time.
00:04:56Master here, bring Tonga flowers.
00:05:00See, pretty flowers.
00:05:05Andre. Darling.
00:05:10Careful, Wiley. Dad and Carrie are out in front tonight.
00:05:19Oh, it would have been terrible to leave without seeing you.
00:05:22The river was out of its banks. We barely managed to get through.
00:05:25I don't want to go. I won't go.
00:05:28Come, young lady. We have exactly ten minutes to catch the boat.
00:05:32Yes, yes, we're late. We'd better hurry. We'd better hurry.
00:06:28I haven't had an evening with you alone.
00:06:58Judge Samuels made you a leading lady.
00:07:01You're not taking this theater business too seriously, are you?
00:07:04Gary, I've got to tell you.
00:07:07Bad news. I feel it.
00:07:11I want to end our engagement.
00:07:15I thought that was it.
00:07:17I'm sorry.
00:07:19Who is it, that actor?
00:07:20Look this way.
00:08:50Who is it?
00:09:05Who is it?
00:09:34Who is it?
00:10:03Who is it?
00:10:08Put this over there, will you, dear?
00:10:10Of course.
00:10:12Wiley.
00:10:13Yes, darling.
00:10:14Do you really love me?
00:10:16How can you ask?
00:10:18I just wanted to hear you say it.
00:10:22Wiley.
00:10:24Do you honestly think I might get that lead with you in New York?
00:10:28I would have been a minute certain.
00:10:31Just you and me.
00:10:33It'll be wonderful.
00:10:59Darling.
00:11:01Mm-hmm?
00:11:02Why are you so attentive to Doris Manning?
00:11:05Now, please don't bring her up again.
00:11:07But I will.
00:11:09You see her more often than you do me.
00:11:11I've told you a dozen times.
00:11:13She isn't much of an actress.
00:11:15I have to coach her on almost every line she speaks.
00:11:17After all, she's my leading lady.
00:11:19If she's bad, I can't do my best work.
00:11:24Lola says you're in love with her.
00:11:26What the devil does she know about it?
00:11:28Please don't be angry.
00:11:29Well, I wish you'd quit harping on Doris Manning.
00:11:32There's one thing I dislike.
00:11:33It's a jealous woman.
00:11:34I won't mention her name again, ever.
00:11:36All right.
00:11:38Now you're angry with me.
00:11:41No, I'm not, beautiful.
00:11:50Darling.
00:11:51Mm-hmm?
00:11:53Darling.
00:11:54Mm-hmm?
00:11:55Why were you hiding that picture of Doris in the table drawer?
00:11:58Oh, for the love of...
00:11:59Probably a telegram.
00:12:29Now what do you want?
00:12:31I told you I wanted to talk to you.
00:12:33All right.
00:12:34Now that you're here, what is it?
00:12:35It's about a niece.
00:12:37Again?
00:12:38Yes.
00:12:39Her happiness is the most important thing in my life.
00:12:42So is mine.
00:12:44You know what women mean to you.
00:12:46So far as you're concerned, a niece is just another girl.
00:12:49I'm tired of your melodramatics.
00:12:58Don't think a niece will ever leave here with you.
00:13:01I'll kill you.
00:13:09I've warned you.
00:13:22If it's as bad as you look, it must be terrible.
00:13:26Hello, dear.
00:13:27Perry just left.
00:13:28I hope he didn't mind my not staying.
00:13:30Well, he didn't seem very cheerful about it.
00:13:33I didn't feel like talking.
00:13:37A midnight chat with you seems like old times.
00:13:40I've hardly seen you since you started carving out a career for yourself.
00:13:44You don't like it, do you?
00:13:46Oh, it's all right.
00:13:48I'm old-fashioned, I suppose.
00:13:51You're an old-fashioned dear.
00:14:00Dad.
00:14:01Yes?
00:14:02Wiley's leaving Saturday for New York.
00:14:04And I'm going with him as his leading lady.
00:14:07Thornton's married, isn't he?
00:14:08He's getting a divorce.
00:14:10And after you reach New York and share his dramatic triumph, he intends to marry you?
00:14:14Yes.
00:14:17Does his wife know he's divorcing her?
00:14:19They're separated.
00:14:20He hasn't seen her for years.
00:14:22Then she doesn't know.
00:14:24He doesn't even know where she is.
00:14:54Mr. Thornton's secretary is speaking.
00:15:05Oh, good morning, darling.
00:15:07Yes, Mr. Thornton is here in just a moment.
00:15:09I'll call him.
00:15:11It's for you, darling.
00:15:16Hello.
00:15:18Yes, I feel fine this morning.
00:15:21Didn't sleep so well during the night, though.
00:15:25Of course I haven't forgotten.
00:15:27But I had to autograph those pictures, you know.
00:15:31I'll be leaving in about five minutes.
00:15:33You bet.
00:15:34Lunch at the Brown League?
00:15:37Yes, yes, the play arrived this morning.
00:15:39We can read it after the show.
00:15:42What?
00:15:43Oh, I'm sorry, dear.
00:15:44We can't this afternoon.
00:15:45I have to see my manager.
00:15:52I knew you'd understand.
00:15:55I'll meet you in 20 minutes.
00:15:57Goodbye.
00:15:59Goodbye.
00:16:01Get out of here and stay out.
00:16:03Don't lose your temper, my love.
00:16:05Supposing she'd come here instead of phoning?
00:16:07After all, I am your secretary.
00:16:10Secretaries are usually found at that typewriter's.
00:16:12Really?
00:16:14I didn't know.
00:16:15This is the last time you pull this stunt, see?
00:16:17I won't have it.
00:16:18Oh, yes, you will, sweetheart.
00:16:20A wife has some rights.
00:16:22Particularly an undivorced wife.
00:16:24If Doris Manning smelled a rat, she'd back out like that.
00:16:27And we can't afford to lose a man in a million.
00:16:30Can we, dear?
00:16:31Keep on, keep on.
00:16:32You'll throw a monkey wrench in the whole works.
00:16:34Oh, you'd find words to soothe the troubled waters.
00:16:38Your lips barely drool honey when they want to.
00:16:41That's how you've got me.
00:16:43I wish someone the same could get rid of you.
00:16:46Ah, what is life without you, my sweet?
00:16:50Each hour away from you is an agony of torment and despair.
00:16:54Each day a purgatory of waiting, waiting for the night.
00:16:57And the sweet caress of your tender lips.
00:17:01You cackling boudoir rooster.
00:17:04I was the only woman in your life.
00:17:06The glorious sunburst on the dark horizon of your lone days.
00:17:11And the very night you married me, you had dates with two of your ex-sweeties.
00:17:15Oh, but darling, don't you understand?
00:17:18These other women, they mean nothing to me.
00:17:20Simply stepping stones on the pathway to our happiness.
00:17:25And I fell for it.
00:17:27I believe you, you bedroom mananiac.
00:17:30I loved you.
00:17:33I laugh myself sick when I think about it now.
00:17:36But I used to sit in my room and cry over you.
00:17:39Until I got next to my husband, me.
00:17:41You big baboon.
00:17:42But you're going to pay for every bit of unhappiness you've caused me.
00:17:45And you're going to pay for it the only way it hurts you.
00:17:47Through your pocketbook.
00:17:49All right, all right. You're getting yours, aren't you?
00:17:52You've held out on my cup for the last four weeks.
00:17:54And unless you kick in, I'm going to move in and stay in.
00:17:57Now what about my dough, big boy? What about it?
00:18:00I had to pay...
00:18:01Oh, don't lie to me. You gambled it away.
00:18:03I know when, how much, and with whom.
00:18:05You've lost three salary checks, one after another.
00:18:07And last night you gave a certain well-known gentleman a check that'll still be bouncing when Gabriel toots his horn.
00:18:12Listen...
00:18:13I'll do the talking, you flannel-mouthed Romeo.
00:18:15Why, Elise Thornton, matinee idol.
00:18:18Pride of every kitchen mechanic from here in Point South.
00:18:21Why, you worn-out Adonis.
00:18:23Pull any fast stuff on me and I'll lay you out among the lilies.
00:18:25And little Alma Thornton is the one that can do it.
00:18:31Hello.
00:18:33Mr. Thornton, secretary speaking.
00:18:36Miss Gressman? Oh, your niece.
00:18:38Good morning, dear.
00:18:40Just fine.
00:18:42Well, that's sweet of you.
00:18:44Yes, Mr. Thornton is here.
00:18:46Just a moment, I'll call him.
00:18:49Great old snatcher.
00:18:56Hello?
00:18:59Hello?
00:19:01How are you?
00:19:03Of course I haven't forgotten.
00:19:05How could I?
00:19:07No, no, I have a luncheon appointment with my manager.
00:19:15To discuss contracts.
00:19:17Yours.
00:19:18And mine.
00:19:20Of course I talked to him about you.
00:19:22And I shouldn't be at all surprised if he gives you the leave.
00:19:26Oh, I'd do anything for you.
00:19:29Yes, yes, at 2.30.
00:19:31We'll ride out in the country.
00:19:33Somebody ought to shoot you.
00:19:35Get out of here.
00:19:37I'll borrow what I owe you from Samuels and give it to you tonight.
00:19:39At your hotel, see?
00:19:41Not here.
00:19:46And don't show up at that farewell party they're giving for me tonight either, understand?
00:19:49Don't worry, darling, I'm not interested.
00:19:51I've planned a little party of my own.
00:19:56Come on.
00:20:12Did you forget something, dear?
00:20:14Give me that money. I've got a date.
00:20:16So have I, with a fur coat.
00:20:18Oh, listen now, Ma.
00:20:20I haven't got a dime.
00:20:22I've got to have money, you know that.
00:20:24How much do you want?
00:20:25If it's more than 50, I can't hear you.
00:20:28All right, give me 50.
00:20:30You'll owe me 75.
00:20:32The extra 25 is the cabbing charge.
00:20:39This is only 40.
00:20:41The $10 holdout is for getting personal.
00:20:46Goodbye.
00:20:55Goodbye.
00:21:25Goodbye.
00:21:51I hope you choke!
00:21:56Sure, sure, I'm glad for Mr. Thornton.
00:21:59But for myself, I'm weeping.
00:22:02Not that you are not just as good, Mr. Morgan.
00:22:05Aye, sir.
00:22:07Here comes Mooney, the hungry reporter.
00:22:10Picture's in the paper.
00:22:13Say, what are we eating, what?
00:22:15Plenty we eat when it is time.
00:22:17Now listen here, Palsy, Walsy.
00:22:20Picture of my new star you will print tomorrow morning.
00:22:23Sure, Palsy, Walsy.
00:22:25Live the moment.
00:22:26Look, I got a friend who has got a friend...
00:22:30...who wants a season pass, get it?
00:22:32A season pass.
00:22:34You blackmailer.
00:22:38Well, for tonight's story about my new leading man,
00:22:42I will fix you up.
00:22:44Lola, soon we eat.
00:22:46Lola, how...
00:22:48I got so worried.
00:22:50How is Annie's feeling?
00:22:52She's much better, thanks, then.
00:22:54You know, it was a good thing I hadn't understood you when she fainted.
00:22:58Yes, Alice Hayden from the Times.
00:23:01Excuse me, please.
00:23:02Wie geht's, Alice, my little schmalzgewicht?
00:23:07Come on over here.
00:23:09I want you to meet my new leading man.
00:23:11And is he marvellous?
00:23:14Well, maybe not exactly marvellous,
00:23:17but not bad.
00:23:23Now, stay in there.
00:23:24You ain't invited to this party.
00:23:53Get back in there.
00:23:54Get back in there now.
00:23:55Get back.
00:23:56Come here.
00:23:57Hey, you.
00:24:00Come here.
00:24:01Come here.
00:24:07How can any woman resist him?
00:24:10Now, Sammy, your mug's on the loose.
00:24:13Geraldine, come down.
00:24:16Come down.
00:24:17Will he be harmless?
00:24:19You've got your geography mixed up.
00:24:20He's a she.
00:24:21Geraldine, come down, or it's licking.
00:24:27Ah, let her roam.
00:24:29Let's play on a feedback.
00:24:34Oh, you wait here.
00:24:44Dad, you said you weren't coming.
00:24:51I just received a telegram from New York.
00:24:54There's no record of a divorce pending
00:24:56between Wiley Faulkner and his wife.
00:24:58But, Dad, he's to stop proceedings when we get to New York.
00:25:02You can't leave with him, Doris.
00:25:04You can't stop me.
00:25:06I can, and I will.
00:25:12Oh, how do you do, Mr. Manning?
00:25:14Won't you wish us luck?
00:25:16I'm not a hero.
00:25:17Yes, you're heavy.
00:25:18Well, what do you say?
00:25:20Just a minute.
00:25:22Quite a cake, isn't it?
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:2534, 10.
00:25:27That'll hammer 44 of you today.
00:25:29All right, folks.
00:25:31Here they are.
00:25:35Curtain.
00:25:36Curtain.
00:25:38Well, we.
00:25:40Hey, Mooney.
00:25:41We've been waiting for you.
00:25:43Hey, Mooney.
00:25:44Women and children first.
00:25:48A toast.
00:25:49A toast.
00:25:52Your new adventure.
00:25:55Love and success.
00:26:01Is the cake ready?
00:26:03It's been ready.
00:26:04And be a minute.
00:26:09Everybody.
00:26:12Try it.
00:26:13Try it.
00:26:17Oh, it's a pretty cake.
00:26:19Now, let's try.
00:26:25Come now, tell us how many candles.
00:26:30Here you are, my dear.
00:26:32May you live long and happy.
00:26:35No, no, no.
00:26:36Make a wish first.
00:26:37And then blow out the candle.
00:26:39All right, here goes.
00:26:40Make a wish for me.
00:26:41Two people cost nothing extra.
00:26:53Lights.
00:26:55Lights.
00:26:58Stop.
00:26:59Don't.
00:27:00Stop.
00:27:09He's dead.
00:27:10Dead?
00:27:15Dead.
00:27:17You killed him.
00:27:20Now, here's the dope.
00:27:21Straight from the green room of the Edwin Booth Theater.
00:27:23The coroner's been here and gone.
00:27:25Thornton was shot with a .32.
00:27:27Gun can't be found.
00:27:29Yeah, they searched everybody, including me.
00:27:32Still got my flask, though.
00:27:34What?
00:27:35Oh, I didn't say anything about a flask.
00:27:37I said, get this fast.
00:27:39Now, look.
00:27:40My old pal, arrest him in a hurry.
00:27:42Gallagher is on a job from headquarters.
00:27:44And Jim Hanvey, that new dick from the DA's office, just flew in.
00:27:47Yeah, Hanvey.
00:27:49You know, the guy who looks like he couldn't detect an odor in a hothouse.
00:27:51But can.
00:27:52Smart guy.
00:27:53Makes Gallagher look like something a cat dragged in.
00:27:56No, I said hothouse.
00:27:58Yeah, now here's your lead.
00:28:00Man and girl accuses her old man of the murder.
00:28:03Yeah, supposed to be Thornton's sweetie or something.
00:28:06Hmm?
00:28:07Well, of course I'm sober.
00:28:09Haven't had a drink in a week.
00:28:11Oh, yeah?
00:28:12So are you.
00:28:14Yeah, call you back.
00:28:15Love and kisses.
00:28:18You say you were in back of him?
00:28:20Well, yes.
00:28:21Either there or on his right or left.
00:28:24Oh, I think it was on his left.
00:28:25I remember I said to him.
00:28:27No, it was him who said to me.
00:28:30Him who said it to you what?
00:28:32Well, I've forgotten.
00:28:34She said it to me.
00:28:35What?
00:28:36He has such lovely hair.
00:28:39So soft and curly.
00:28:41I'd love to stroke it.
00:28:43And did you?
00:28:44Well, no.
00:28:51And where were you standing, Mr. Wilden?
00:28:53Next to Mr. Manning.
00:28:55About a foot away.
00:28:56And you were on Thornton's left?
00:28:58That's right.
00:28:59Who was next to you?
00:29:00Mr. Allison, I believe.
00:29:02No.
00:29:03I was at the other side of the table.
00:29:05Near Lola.
00:29:06Miss Grissom.
00:29:07Now let's get together on this.
00:29:08Was that where you were?
00:29:10Yes.
00:29:11I think so.
00:29:14I don't know.
00:29:15Same old story, Jim.
00:29:17Someone gets shot in the excitement and everybody forgets everything.
00:29:20What's that?
00:29:21Never mind.
00:29:22I'll write you a letter about it next week.
00:29:23Are you sure you were on the stage?
00:29:25Why, I...
00:29:26I think so.
00:29:28I must have been.
00:29:29Because...
00:29:30Because I had a pretzel in my hand and...
00:29:33There, there, old man.
00:29:34Sit down.
00:29:35Rest.
00:29:36Now let's get together.
00:29:37Let's concentrate.
00:29:39Can anyone tell me from what point they think they heard the gunshot?
00:29:43From the knife.
00:29:44All right.
00:29:45All right.
00:29:47Never mind the second verse.
00:29:48Now again.
00:29:49Careful this time.
00:29:50Did anyone see a gun flash before, during, or after the shot?
00:29:56How many times should I tell you we didn't see a flash?
00:30:00Are you sure Thornton's dead?
00:30:01Who are you to...
00:30:04Whoever held the gun probably had it wrapped up.
00:30:09What did it sound like to you?
00:30:11Like a pistol shot.
00:30:13That helps.
00:30:14Was everyone on the stage when the lights came on?
00:30:16Yeah, including the monk.
00:30:19No cracks out of you, Mooney.
00:30:20Does anyone know what became of the gun?
00:30:22It really ought to be a gun.
00:30:24Yes.
00:30:25That's just what I was about to say.
00:30:29The list of your report shows that the bullet was fired from an unraffled gun.
00:30:33Say, I've got a hunch.
00:30:36Hey, where are you going?
00:30:38Back in a minute.
00:30:50It's gone.
00:30:51What's gone?
00:30:52The gun.
00:30:53What gun?
00:30:54The gun that works in the show.
00:30:55It was an unraffled gun.
00:30:56And what's more, there are five bullets missing out of the box.
00:30:59I counted them.
00:31:00Oh, ho.
00:31:01Oh, ho.
00:31:02You're a fanny.
00:31:03I didn't do it.
00:31:04Somebody must have swiped it off of my table.
00:31:12Were you in the property room?
00:31:14Yes.
00:31:15There you are.
00:31:17It's in the bag.
00:31:18It's in the bag.
00:31:19Lock him up, boys.
00:31:21Just a minute, Marty.
00:31:23Ain't you jumping at conclusions?
00:31:25Sure, the conclusion that he did it.
00:31:27He admits it in the room and his own daughter accused him.
00:31:29ABC.
00:31:30Colossal.
00:31:32Sounds logical, all right.
00:31:34Mind if I ask a few questions?
00:31:36Go ahead, Jim.
00:31:38But make it fast.
00:31:39I'm satisfied.
00:31:41Where was this gun?
00:31:43On my table.
00:31:48Were you near the table in the property room?
00:31:52Yes.
00:31:53Did you touch the gun?
00:31:56Yes.
00:31:57Why?
00:31:58A subconscious act.
00:32:00Was anybody else there with you?
00:32:02I was.
00:32:03There you are.
00:32:04He was in love with a girl.
00:32:05She broke the engagement, and he shot him.
00:32:07Titanic.
00:32:09Who shot who?
00:32:11He did.
00:32:13Both of them.
00:32:14One of them.
00:32:16You're getting me all confused, Marty.
00:32:18Okay, Jim.
00:32:19You question him.
00:32:20Try and get me confused.
00:32:22Did you and Mr. Manning leave the room together?
00:32:26No.
00:32:28Mr. Manning left first.
00:32:30Was the gun on the table when you left the room?
00:32:33Was it?
00:32:34I...
00:32:36I don't remember.
00:32:37Did you have the gun in your hand?
00:32:39No.
00:32:42In that case, you couldn't have taken it with you when you went out.
00:32:46Colossal.
00:32:48Prodigious.
00:32:49What?
00:32:50Probdingnagian.
00:32:52Big.
00:32:54What were you and Weldon doing in that room?
00:32:58Talking.
00:32:59About what?
00:33:01It will come out eventually, so I may as well tell you now.
00:33:04My daughter was on the verge of making a terrible mistake, and I meant to prevent it.
00:33:08How?
00:33:09I asked Carrie's help.
00:33:10We were going to kidnap her before she got on the train with Bond.
00:33:13But you shot him instead?
00:33:14No.
00:33:16Any more questions?
00:33:17Nope.
00:33:18I guess you got to lock him up, Marty.
00:33:21Right again, Jim.
00:33:23Lock him up, boys.
00:33:25And don't you try to leave town, young fella.
00:33:27Tell Doris.
00:33:28Yes, I will.
00:33:32So long, Marty.
00:33:34I'm going home to get some sleep.
00:33:36Sleep?
00:33:38Can you imagine what would happen to this case if I went to sleep?
00:33:43Now, let me see.
00:33:47Three sides of the set were pushed back like that.
00:33:52According to that actor man who gave the toast, he was standing here.
00:33:58The old man was here, near to that young Weldon fella.
00:34:05Well, the question is, what become of the gun?
00:34:11Guns don't disappear into thin air.
00:34:16And there was a gun.
00:34:19Of course, the guy was shot.
00:34:21Ah, so true.
00:34:24When you get talking like that, I remind me of Marty Gallagher.
00:34:33Now, if I'd have done it, and didn't want to be found with a gun on me, what would I have done with it?
00:34:41I wouldn't have thrown it there.
00:34:43Of course, it would have landed on the back one.
00:34:47That side was normally furniture and junk.
00:34:52This side, just a brick wall.
00:34:57And out front, nothing but seats.
00:35:00I looked in all those places, anyhow.
00:35:03The side, you old fool, it would have made a noise wherever it landed.
00:35:07Dah, dah, Connie doll.
00:35:11Of course you can quote me as saying Manning did it.
00:35:15You know how to put it, Mooney.
00:35:17Captain Marty Gallagher, Martin Gallagher, of the local peace department, states that he expects to have the case completed within 24 hours.
00:35:26Better make it 48.
00:35:28What about the gun?
00:35:29Oh, it'll turn up.
00:35:30Yeah, it wouldn't be healthy for you to slip up this time, would it?
00:35:33What do you mean, this time?
00:35:34Well, Hanvey worked out that Donaldson case for you, didn't he?
00:35:37He did not. I put it right in his hands.
00:35:39I didn't want to take all of ours, you know how it is.
00:35:41Yeah, I know.
00:35:42Sure, I can afford to be generous once in a while.
00:35:44Say, ain't he the funniest looking dick you ever saw?
00:35:48You ever look in the mirror?
00:35:50Yeah, sure, I always...
00:35:52What? Say you?
00:35:55Gallagher speaking.
00:35:57Yeah.
00:35:59What?
00:36:02Be right there.
00:36:03What's breaking?
00:36:04We just found Thornton's secretary in a room at the Antlers Hotel. Somebody shot her.
00:36:07Is she dead?
00:36:08No, dying.
00:36:15Dead?
00:36:16Not yet.
00:36:17Has she talked?
00:36:18She was conscious a second before you came in.
00:36:20Mumbled something about being Alma Thornton, that actor's wife.
00:36:23Ha, wife?
00:36:24That's what she said.
00:36:25That's what I've been saying all along.
00:36:26I knew there was a woman in there somewhere.
00:36:27Cheshire femme, as in female.
00:36:30Think she'll make it?
00:36:31One chance in 50 if we get her on the table in time.
00:36:34Come here.
00:36:37Who are you?
00:36:38I'm the manager of the hotel.
00:36:39This will be bad for business.
00:36:40What do you know about it?
00:36:41Nothing very much.
00:36:42She must have tried to phone for help after it happened,
00:36:44because at about 2 o'clock her light flashed up and stayed on.
00:36:47Princeton here came up and found her.
00:36:50Come here.
00:36:52Was the door locked?
00:36:53Yes.
00:36:54Was she on the bed?
00:36:55Yes.
00:36:56Is that all you can say?
00:36:57Yes.
00:36:58I mean, no.
00:36:59Yes.
00:37:00That's what I mean.
00:37:01Yes, I know her.
00:37:02How long has she been here?
00:37:03She registered under the name of Alma Jenkins from Akron about a month ago.
00:37:05Akron, eh?
00:37:07This was drenched in her hand.
00:37:13Here's my case, Mooney.
00:37:15It's in the bag.
00:38:54Hello there.
00:39:41Wiley Thornton's photograph.
00:39:46All you girls seem to have loved it.
00:39:54Sweet and low, sweet and low.
00:40:25Sweet and low, sweet and low.
00:40:33Low and high.
00:40:38Low and high.
00:40:42I bet you that's what I would have done with it.
00:40:45I got it.
00:41:15Just a fool for luck.
00:41:45Oh, Mr. Weldon.
00:41:58I came to get Miss Manning's bag.
00:42:00I'll get them for you.
00:42:01No thanks.
00:42:02I know where it is.
00:42:09Say, I got to make my rounds again.
00:42:12Don't forget to close the door when you go out.
00:42:14I won't.
00:42:39Watkins!
00:42:45Watkins!
00:42:51Watkins!
00:43:14Watkins!
00:43:20What are you doing, Sam?
00:43:35This rope was fastened with only one turn.
00:43:38That might have fallen and hurt someone.
00:43:40Wasn't anything up there that you wanted, was there?
00:43:44Why, no.
00:43:45I just came down to get Miss Manning's bag.
00:43:48She's waiting for me.
00:43:49I'll run along.
00:43:50Wait a minute.
00:43:52Listen, son.
00:43:54Lies are a shortcut to the police station.
00:43:57You were looking for something.
00:43:59What was it?
00:44:00That's what I think, too.
00:44:02I was watching.
00:44:03I'll be a witness to it.
00:44:04Have you anything to tell me?
00:44:08Well, I was doing a little investigating.
00:44:15It's that Marty Gallagher.
00:44:17Seems to me a lot of people got this investigating idea at about the same time.
00:44:25Better think of a sound alibi, son.
00:44:27The moths have got into that one of yours.
00:44:31Jerry Weldon's here.
00:44:33Oh, he is, is he?
00:44:35Well, that's just fine.
00:44:39I thought I'd find you here.
00:44:41I thought I'd find you here.
00:44:43Looking for the gun, wasn't he?
00:44:45I hadn't got around to asking him that, Marty.
00:44:47Weren't you?
00:44:48I came to get Miss Manning's bag.
00:44:50Well, I'm here to play ping-pong with Jimmy Walker.
00:44:53It's all right, Jim.
00:44:54You can go home and get some sleep.
00:44:56It's in the bag.
00:44:57He tried to lower one of them drops, Mr. Gallagher.
00:44:59Oh, so that's why you threw the gun.
00:45:02Pretty smart.
00:45:03It ain't there, Marty.
00:45:05I covered all this territory before he arrived.
00:45:09What gun did you use to kill Alma Thornton?
00:45:11What the devil are you talking about?
00:45:13Has somebody else been murdered?
00:45:15Thornton's wife, who's posing as his secretary,
00:45:17is dying of bullet wounds.
00:45:19This half-check of his,
00:45:21for ten grand, payable to Wiley Thornton,
00:45:24was found in her hand.
00:45:26Don't you see, Jim?
00:45:27That means that he was there,
00:45:29had a struggle with her to get away,
00:45:30and shot her, didn't you?
00:45:32I never heard of her.
00:45:33Ha! What about that?
00:45:36I gave it to Thornton in his apartment, Monday.
00:45:38Rather, last Tuesday morning.
00:45:39Ha! What for?
00:45:41With the understanding that he wouldn't come to the party.
00:45:43That he would leave on an earlier train for New York, without Doris.
00:45:46And when he did show up, you shot him?
00:45:48No, I didn't!
00:45:49Yeah, well, I know you did.
00:45:51Now, you'd better think up some absinthe treatment
00:45:53for about 2,000 volts.
00:45:55You're in a spot.
00:45:56Knock him up.
00:46:02Say, you're off in about ten minutes, aren't you?
00:46:04I hope so.
00:46:05How about jumping into some chow mein
00:46:06and a ride in the old hack?
00:46:07In your hack?
00:46:08Yeah.
00:46:09No, thanks.
00:46:10I'll have a waffle.
00:46:13You've got a waffle.
00:46:22What's the lady do?
00:46:23How is she, Doc?
00:46:24It's only a matter of minutes.
00:46:25Has she talked?
00:46:26Nothing coherent.
00:46:27The incoherence is sometimes helpful.
00:46:29What'd she say?
00:46:30Just muttered something.
00:46:31Sounded like, lovely.
00:46:33Lovely.
00:46:34Lovely.
00:46:35Lovely.
00:46:36Lovely homes.
00:46:37That's a hunch.
00:46:38I'm glad I thought of it.
00:46:39Say, you.
00:46:47Hello, Fag.
00:46:48I'll do the phone.
00:46:49Police station.
00:46:50Arsenic to you and drink hearty.
00:46:52Gallagher talking.
00:46:53Yeah, give me 37.
00:46:55Well, it's in the bag.
00:46:56Ryan, radio the boys to pick up lovely homes.
00:46:58Yeah, he's probably trying to duck town.
00:47:00Page the station to cover all the roads.
00:47:02Yeah, and get him.
00:47:03Understand?
00:47:04Sure, he did it.
00:47:05Okay.
00:47:06I'm going home to get a little sleep, Marty.
00:47:09No good my sticking around.
00:47:11Now you're getting everybody locked up.
00:47:13Okay, Jim.
00:47:14And if anything breaks, I'll cut you in.
00:47:16Thank you, Marty.
00:47:18Got a match?
00:47:19Yes, thanks.
00:47:21Sure, looks like Marty will have the whole Bloomington
00:47:23locked up by the morning.
00:47:24Call you back.
00:47:25Did I hear you making a crack about me?
00:47:26About you, Pelsey Wellesy?
00:47:28No.
00:47:29Say, any more suspects?
00:47:31Yeah.
00:47:32I think the monk did it.
00:47:34What?
00:47:57Captain Marty Gallagher says yes.
00:48:00What's that idiot trying to do, make a fool out of me?
00:48:03Good morning, dear teacher.
00:48:06Good morning to you.
00:48:09Did the monkey shoot Wiley Thornton?
00:48:12No, but two cents out of three out of that window.
00:48:14Says Hitler.
00:48:15I thought I was doing you a favor.
00:48:17You do me a favor?
00:48:18From now on, you're off the list.
00:48:20Get that?
00:48:21Off the list.
00:48:22Okay, if that's the way you feel about it.
00:48:24Get out of here.
00:48:25All right.
00:48:26How would you like to locate Lovely Homes?
00:48:29And how would you like to do what I'm thinking?
00:48:31All right, I guess I'll have to take this up with Mr. Hanvey, then.
00:48:35Wait a minute.
00:48:36Who, me?
00:48:37What are you talking about?
00:48:38Lovely Homes.
00:48:40Do you know something?
00:48:41The great Mooney knows all, sees all.
00:48:46Then spill it.
00:48:48Say you're sorry.
00:48:49For what?
00:48:50For abusing me all the time.
00:48:51She's not a good woman.
00:48:53For abusing me all the time.
00:48:55She's not a he, he's a she.
00:48:57And she's Lovely Homes' latest flash.
00:48:59She was arrested at 4.30 this morning on South Road doing 70 miles an hour.
00:49:03With Holmes?
00:49:04Yes and no.
00:49:05While they were booking her in the station,
00:49:07somebody saw a guy jump out of the rumble seat and drive away.
00:49:09That guy was Holmes.
00:49:11He's probably in Illinois by now.
00:49:13Nope, wrong again.
00:49:14In a Harrisburg jail.
00:49:16Booked on a charge of reckless driving.
00:49:18Under the name on the license slip.
00:49:20T.F. Blake.
00:49:22Get it?
00:49:23Here, I'll draw you a diagram.
00:49:25Say, how do you know all this?
00:49:26I know his blood from Harrisburg.
00:49:28Picked up the name, a Mooney guess, a phone call,
00:49:31and came straight to my pal Dave Welles.
00:49:34Here, you cut my throat for a dime.
00:49:36When did the price go up?
00:49:43I was there all right.
00:49:44I'd be a fool to deny it.
00:49:46After that clerk identified my picture.
00:49:48But I didn't shoot the dame and that's on the level.
00:49:50You'll have a hard time making that stick lovely.
00:49:53You're telling me?
00:49:55Cut him a match.
00:49:58Thanks.
00:49:59Thanks.
00:50:03Hello, boys.
00:50:04My pal.
00:50:06I don't know who told him.
00:50:07Hope you don't mind, Marty.
00:50:09You see, I was in your office when they phoned.
00:50:12I thought I'd better come over and have a little chat with Lovely here.
00:50:16Mm-hmm.
00:50:17Why'd you kill Fong?
00:50:18Why'd you shoot his wife?
00:50:19Oh, blow out your fuse.
00:50:21You're sputtering.
00:50:22You'll be sputtering in the hot seat.
00:50:24What do you know about this check?
00:50:26Thornton gave it to me for a gambling debt.
00:50:28Oh, he did, did he?
00:50:29Yes, he did, did he?
00:50:30Night before last.
00:50:32I was going to deposit it Monday,
00:50:33but when I heard somebody shot him, I thought it looked bad if I cashed it.
00:50:36So I went to Alma Thornton.
00:50:38How'd you know she was Thornton's wife?
00:50:40She came to my place one night looking for him.
00:50:42Go ahead.
00:50:43I went to her and offered her a slice of the check if she'd get it cashed.
00:50:45But she tried to hog the whole thing.
00:50:47So you shot her in the argument?
00:50:49No, I didn't shoot her.
00:50:50Suppose you didn't kill him either?
00:50:52I did not.
00:50:53Where were you when he was shot?
00:50:55I don't remember.
00:50:56Ha!
00:50:57You don't remember.
00:50:58Talk it over with your lawyer before you do today.
00:51:00Oh, I was drunk somewhere
00:51:02with a dame I never saw before.
00:51:04When did you leave the lady?
00:51:06It was after the murder.
00:51:07I remember that because the extras were out.
00:51:09Lovely, I believe you.
00:51:11In a big package.
00:51:13Well, this washes it up.
00:51:15Motive?
00:51:16Robbery.
00:51:17You knew Thornton had the check.
00:51:18You killed him for it.
00:51:19And his wife tried to figure you for a larger slice.
00:51:21You shot her too.
00:51:22You've got to prove that.
00:51:24Better to remember who that gal was, son.
00:51:28Lock him up.
00:51:32Good work, Captain Gallagher.
00:51:33A.B.C. Perkins.
00:51:34Stupendous.
00:51:36In the bag, eh, Jim?
00:51:38Maybe, all right.
00:51:39No maybe about it.
00:51:40He did it.
00:51:41He might have.
00:51:42I've got to admit that.
00:51:44Well, what more do you want?
00:51:46Fruit.
00:51:48Got to go now.
00:51:49My plane's waiting.
00:51:50Oh, so you flew down, huh?
00:51:51I'll split the ante with you.
00:51:52OK, come along.
00:51:53See you later, Stu.
00:51:55Much later.
00:52:10Mr. Hamby, this is...
00:52:13Oh.
00:52:14I wanted Mr. Hamby.
00:52:17Yes.
00:52:19Tell him Miss Kresner called.
00:52:21Miss Lola Kresner.
00:52:23At the Edwin Booth Theater.
00:52:25It's very important.
00:52:27That's right.
00:52:43Dad didn't do it.
00:52:45Did he, Mr. Hamby?
00:52:47Well, I don't know exactly.
00:52:49I don't think he did.
00:52:51But that Mr. Gallagher.
00:52:53Oh, shucks.
00:52:54Marty will be locking me up next.
00:52:57Did Carey?
00:52:59Oh, he might have.
00:53:01You think he did?
00:53:03No, I didn't say that.
00:53:05I mean to say I think I think I know who did it.
00:53:12It sounds all mixed up.
00:53:14But what I'm trying to say is I ain't positively certain who did it.
00:53:20Is there anything I can do?
00:53:22Well, you might go down to the jail and see that young Weldon fellow.
00:53:29I'm ashamed to face him.
00:53:31You take an old fool's advice.
00:53:34And if you happen to love him, sort of, tell him about it.
00:53:39I'll go down before matinee.
00:53:43Right now.
00:53:44That's the idea.
00:53:45You'll feel all the better for it, and so will he.
00:53:48By the way, is that Miss, uh, Whatchamacallit?
00:53:52Miss Cresma?
00:53:54Working today?
00:53:56Oh, yes.
00:53:57No matter what happens, the show goes on.
00:54:00Why?
00:54:01Nothing, nothing.
00:54:02You know, it seems pretty brave of her going back to work after losing her little sister.
00:54:09Thanks for the autographs.
00:54:10I'll let you have them back.
00:54:12Now you do as I tell you.
00:54:28Doggonit.
00:54:32She begins to look like that Cresma girl done it.
00:54:38Yes, sir.
00:54:40She must have known that little kid was dead before she'd come to the party.
00:54:49A nice girl like her don't kill even a skunk without a reason.
00:54:55And a reason in this case ain't very hard to see.
00:55:01Doggonit, all.
00:55:04Jim, you fool.
00:55:06You're always getting mixed up in something unpleasant.
00:55:12And you can say at present writing that it looks like Holmes is my best bet.
00:55:16But, on the other hand, there's Manning and this fellow Weldon.
00:55:20It's a cinch one of them did it.
00:55:21I'll match it.
00:55:22Go away, you're getting in my hair.
00:55:24Why don't you give yourself up?
00:55:26Now, that's a good...
00:55:28Will you please go away, Mooney? Get out. Let me think.
00:55:32Say, what am I bid for an A number one clue?
00:55:34You and your clues.
00:55:36I got more suspects now than I need.
00:55:38You ever read the papers?
00:55:40Not your sheet.
00:55:41Then you probably haven't seen what I saw.
00:55:44I saw, he saw, sawing wood.
00:55:46He saw, I saw, he...
00:55:50What would you do without your old palsy-welsy?
00:55:54The great Mooney sees all, knows all.
00:55:59Well, what about it?
00:56:03I get it. I get it.
00:56:06The kid killed himself because of fun.
00:56:08And Lola shot him.
00:56:10You know, I had a hunch all along there was a woman mixed up in it.
00:56:12Cherchez la femme as in female.
00:56:16One-thirty.
00:56:17Matinee at two.
00:56:23Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.
00:56:26Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.
00:56:31Woof, woof, woof.
00:56:40Woof, woof, woof.
00:56:41Hey, what's the rumpus?
00:56:43Mr. Hanvey, it's terrible.
00:56:45You have got the gun.
00:56:46Maybe if you would shoot your gun, she would go back into her cage.
00:56:50Your chimp?
00:56:51Yeah, it's Charity and she's on the loose.
00:56:54And a minute ago we heard a pistol shot.
00:56:56And Mac is in there, he may be that.
00:56:58And it's my first Matinee McMorgan, my new leading man.
00:57:03You folks step away from that door.
00:57:05Step back, please, sir.
00:57:18Woof.
00:57:21Woof.
00:57:24Get back to your cage, honey.
00:57:29Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.
00:57:35Get back to your cage.
00:57:51Woof.
00:58:03Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.
00:58:11Here, here, what's going on?
00:58:13Charity is on the loose and everybody is back in there.
00:58:17Come on, keep away from the door.
00:58:18Stand back, everybody.
00:58:22Woof.
00:58:26The monk plugged him.
00:58:28What?
00:58:29Yes, sir.
00:58:30She got him, too.
00:58:31What do you mean, too?
00:58:39The unrifled gun.
00:58:45It simply proves what I've been saying all along.
00:58:47The monk did it.
00:58:49One bullet killed Thornton and the other bullet killed Mackey.
00:58:54And lovely Holmes shot the woman.
00:58:56Colossal.
00:58:57I guess you're right, Marty.
00:58:59Sure, I'm right.
00:59:00Of course, you did your best, too, Jim, but, well, you know how these things go.
00:59:06Yes, I guess you're too clever for me, Marty.
00:59:09Well, some people call it luck, but go on, you folks, get out of here.
00:59:16Miss Manning.
00:59:17You just jump right into a taxi and get down to the jail.
00:59:21I'll phone them to release your dad and the young man.
00:59:26Thanks.
00:59:34Mr. Hendry.
00:59:35Oh, Miss Kredmer.
00:59:38I never got your telephone call.
00:59:42And if it had been my little sister, I'd have shot Thornton myself.
00:59:48Besides, Marty's just proved the monk did it.
01:00:11THE END
