00:00I
00:05Feel the lights out of that step, will you?
00:07Right.
00:08Charlie, Charlie, give me a little bit of a hand.
00:10I've got in the way.
00:19I'm going to be in control of the embassy group.
00:27Okay.
00:27Just what do you do here?
00:40Well, you see, I have to keep a complete record of everything.
00:43The clothes the actors wear in the various scenes,
00:46how they come into the scenes, right or left, and what they do.
00:50Rather a complicated business, isn't it?
00:52Yes, but very necessary.
00:54Now, take this scene they're rehearsing now, for instance.
00:57It's a retake of something we did a month ago.
01:00Here's the record of it.
01:02Oh, I see.
01:03So you have a lot to do, haven't you?
01:05Well, it could hardly be called a holiday.
01:08Yeah.
01:09Well, we pick it right up from here, see?
01:10Mm-hmm.
01:11That last was better, but you're not getting it yet, old man.
01:13You've got to get under it.
01:14And by the way, this drinking of yours is the cause of this retake.
01:18So come on, snap out of it.
01:19Let's try it again.
01:20Mm-hmm.
01:21All right.
01:22All right.
01:23Let's go.
01:24Elsie!
01:25Elsie!
01:26Where are you?
01:27Elsie won't answer.
01:28Then why not, may I ask?
01:30I called her away.
01:33Elsie, Elsie, where are you?
01:39Elsie won't answer.
01:41Then why not, may I ask?
01:44I called her away.
01:47She's going to meet me at my apartment.
01:50You see, Elsie really works for me.
01:54Well, that's better, only don't stick again when we take it.
02:00Well, Rex.
02:01Yeah?
02:02Have you got that scene fixed yet?
02:04Just a second.
02:09We'll change that last speech, see?
02:12Make it read,
02:13You see, my dear, Elsie really works for me.
02:17She is my sister.
02:18Yeah, that clears it up all right.
02:21Well, come on, folks, now we'll take it once more,
02:24and you add to your speech,
02:26She's my sister, see?
02:27Come on, let's get going.
02:29Oh, all right.
02:30Yes, I am not deaf.
02:42Hey, Smoke, bring that lamp over here, will you?
02:44Okay.
02:51That's perfectly all right.
02:52It was rather an embarrassing position for me, wasn't it?
02:54Yes.
02:55Well, I did my good deed for today.
02:57Yeah, won't you sit down?
02:58Quiet, folks, quiet, please.
03:00Oh, pardon me.
03:01Will you excuse me?
03:02Yes.
03:06Say, you'll have to get back here.
03:08You're in too close.
03:09Back here, please.
03:12Mike, bring me a turbo, Mike.
03:15Oh, I beg your pardon.
03:16Hello, Valerie.
03:28Hello.
03:29How are you?
03:29Hi.
03:30Sit down.
03:34Say, who is that young man who just kept me from falling?
03:37Oh, that's Bob Adair, a friend of Rex Forsythe.
03:47He's a reporter on the New York paper.
03:51Mm-hmm.
03:51Yes.
03:52How do you feel, Hunter?
03:53It's okay with me.
03:54All right, let's take it.
03:55All right, quiet, everybody.
03:57That's the tape.
03:58Grab the set, please.
03:59All right, camera, chain 26, retake.
04:09Elsie.
04:10Elsie.
04:11Where is she?
04:17Jeffrey, what are you doing here?
04:20Is it strange for a husband, even a discarded husband, to visit his wife?
04:26Elsie won't answer.
04:27And why not, may I ask?
04:30I've called her away.
04:32She's going to my apartment to meet me.
04:36You see, my dear, Elsie really works for me.
04:40She's my sister.
04:42Cut.
04:43That's it.
04:46You can't have a person.
04:50You beast.
04:52If people could see you like this, they'd know why I'm divorcing you.
04:55What's the matter with you, Andre?
04:57Now, don't start anything here.
04:59Now, come on, old man.
05:00Don't.
05:01What's in my affairs?
05:02I tell you, I can't stand it.
05:05That's Andre Layton for you.
05:08Valerie, did you get what I wanted?
05:10Yes, Miss Gladden.
05:11They were sorry it took so long.
05:14I should think they would be.
05:17That's all right.
05:18Run along, dear.
05:19I'll see you at home.
05:20Yes, Miss Gladden.
05:21Will you dine there?
05:22Not this evening.
05:23There's a dinner party at Calvin Green's.
05:26Come on, I'll walk over to your dressing room.
05:29Did I say you could?
05:31Oh, come on.
05:35Okay, you're all set.
05:36Let's go.
05:37Oh, I'll meet you in the office, Bob.
05:43Okay, Rex.
05:44All right, boys, wrap them up.
05:48Bring down your diffuser.
06:03You old grouch.
06:08Come on, Rex.
06:09What's the matter?
06:11What have I done now?
06:12Why did you ditch me for lunch
06:14and eat with Warren Sibley?
06:16He's my director.
06:18And the star always has to be nice to her director.
06:21You're nice to everybody.
06:23That's the trouble.
06:25You're just jealous.
06:28You know men are a part of my life.
06:30I know it too well.
06:34But you know who I rarely love.
06:37Don't you?
06:41Oh!
06:41Say that you love me, Rex.
06:46Oh, I suppose I'll end up by marrying you.
06:48Oh, but monsieur, I have not yet a divorce from Andre.
06:52My dear husband.
06:54Yes, and when he kissed you, I could have...
06:56Yes, and you showed it too.
06:57You're a funny old thing, Rex.
07:00But run along, out there.
07:02I must dress.
07:05My bad luck.
07:06I can't take you to Cal Green's party tonight.
07:08But I've got to work on your next story.
07:10The office is riding me.
07:12Worse luck.
07:13Don't you worry, darling.
07:15There'll be a lot of nice men there.
07:16I won't be lonesome.
07:19You little devil.
07:22Run long.
07:23You little devil.
07:33You are beautiful.
07:44Who would have driven this bit of steel into your heart, but have found a home instead in his?
08:00I didn't know, then, that you had made a fool of him, as you have of me, as you have of dozens of others.
08:05Jeffrey, I swear.
08:07Worshipping you, I married you, took you from the gutter, made you a lady.
08:13And you betrayed me with my best friend.
08:16But the moment for atonement is here.
08:18Behind you stretches our way of selfishness, lies deceit.
08:21Ahead of you, darkness, oblivion.
08:23For like the media that flamed and died, you too shall die.
08:27Die, die, die, die, die, die, die.
08:34For the love of Pete.
08:37Why don't you get some air in here?
08:40They have a pretty fair story, this falling star thing.
08:44Why'd you steal the idea?
08:45Hey, no cracks out of you, fella.
08:47Come on, get on your feet.
08:49I gotta get to work.
08:52Oh, say, you're about to lose your starboarder at last.
08:56Great.
08:58Now I'll have a few peaceful days and sober nights for a change.
09:01Oh, yeah?
09:02Well, I could go for a few myself.
09:03Get off that.
09:06What's the matter?
09:07That city editor of yours got on his ear again?
09:09Oh, has he?
09:09Get a load of this.
09:10Mr. Robert Adair, care of Rex Forsythe, screenwriter of Eminent Studios, Hollywood, California.
09:16Now that you have solved the Donahue murder case and given Hollywood an eyeful of New York's worst reporter, I would deem it a great favor if you would see your way clear to come back to New York and give your newspaper a break.
09:27Love and kisses.
09:29Sarcastic mug.
09:31You know, I have a sneaking idea I will kiss the old buzzard and, boy, will he burn.
09:35Oh.
09:36Too bad there aren't a few more murders for you to solve.
09:39I'd like to have you stay on.
09:41Yeah, not wishing anybody any hard luck.
09:44Oh, say, you're going to Cal Green's party tonight?
09:45No, confound it.
09:47I've got to try and get Irma's next story finished.
09:50Well, I'm going and, boy, I'm going to put on a good old-fashioned bust.
09:53One that'll last me till I hit home.
09:56Miss Gladden going?
09:58Oh, she'll be there, all right.
10:01Oh, by the way, who was that good-looker on the set of today?
10:04Who?
10:05Oh, you mean Valerie Christine?
10:06That's Irma's secretary.
10:09Smitten?
10:10Smitten.
10:11Smitten.
10:13Boy, one of her in my heart did handspring.
10:29Hey, what are you doing?
10:30Let me go.
10:33Stop that gun.
10:34Stop what I say.
10:35What are you trying to do?
10:43Let me go.
10:44Wait a minute.
10:45Hurry up.
10:45Andre, get home.
10:47Andre, don't go down here now.
10:48You're not conditioned here.
10:49Take your hands off of me!
10:50She's still my wife.
10:53He don't belong in here.
10:57He was making love to her.
10:59It's all his fault.
10:59I'm telling you now.
11:01Now she's going to divorce me so she can marry.
11:03So she can marry him!
11:05That's who she wants to marry!
11:06Here, break.
11:07Never mind.
11:08Look at him.
11:08I'll take care of this.
11:09Look at him!
11:10He thinks...
11:11He thinks she loves him.
11:13Just another fool.
11:14Like me.
11:15Like Sibley.
11:16Like everybody!
11:17Come on, Andre, old man.
11:18Come on.
11:19You, too.
11:21My best friend.
11:23You love her, too.
11:25Look at me.
11:27I was a star.
11:29Wasn't I?
11:29Of course you were, Andre.
11:30Of course.
11:31Well, she...
11:32She did this to me.
11:35I tried to kill her.
11:36Didn't I?
11:38But they...
11:39They can't have her.
11:40They can't.
11:41She belongs to me.
11:41To me.
11:42To me.
11:42Andre!
11:43You've got to stop this.
11:45You've got to.
11:46Warren.
11:47You can get him out of here.
11:49All right.
11:50Come on, Andre.
11:51No, I'm your friend.
11:52And I understand.
11:53Come on, my office.
11:53Come on.
11:54All right.
11:57You understand.
11:57Of course I do.
11:58That's a good fellow.
12:05It's all right, Rex, old boy.
12:07Don't worry.
12:08We'll take care of everything.
12:13Rex, dear.
12:17Tell Norman to bring the car around.
12:19I...
12:20I want to get out of here.
12:22Are you all right?
12:23Maybe you better not go tonight.
12:25Oh, I'm all right.
12:26Run along now.
12:29Rex, please do as I ask.
12:32Oh, all right.
12:33All right.
12:33I've got to get out of here.
12:49Freeze up for a minute.
12:50Come on.
12:52Andre, sit down, will you?
12:54You've made a fool of yourself once today.
12:56That's enough.
12:57I know what I'm doing.
12:59Yeah, I suppose you knew what you were doing when you tried to kill Irma.
13:07Did...
13:08Did I do that?
13:11Yes, you did that.
13:14Don't let me out of here.
13:15Come on.
13:17Sit down there.
13:18Now, you stay here until you pull yourself together.
13:22All right.
13:22All right.
13:28I suppose you'll send this to your confounded paper.
13:54No, if I sent that bushy-haired old editor of mine anything but a murder story, I'd get the gate.
14:01Chances looked pretty good there for a minute, didn't they?
14:17Rex.
14:20You're not taking it too seriously, are you, old man?
14:22I wouldn't intrude in the personal matters if I were you, Bob.
14:30Yeah, I guess you're right at that.
14:38See you at the house.
14:38Promise, Vagin.
15:00Promise, Vagin.
15:01Promise, Vagin.
16:07Oh, Miss Gladden.
16:18Yes, Ella?
16:19Mrs. Sibley is waiting in the drawing room.
16:23Mrs. Sibley?
16:24How long has she been here?
16:31Quite some time, I believe.
16:33The maid let her in.
16:35All right.
16:36Tell her I'll see her.
16:37Here.
16:38Yes, Miss Gladden.
16:39Yes, Miss Gladden.
17:09Yes, Miss Gladden.
17:39I suppose you know who I am.
18:03Oh, of course, Mrs. Sibley.
18:05Won't you sit down?
18:07I came here for just one reason now, McGladden.
18:09To tell you that you can't get away with it.
18:12Really, Mrs. Sibley?
18:14I don't know what you mean.
18:15Then I'll tell you.
18:17You leave my husband alone.
18:19Do you understand?
18:21Don't be dramatic.
18:23Warren and I are simply good friends.
18:26Good friends.
18:29Devotedly, Warren.
18:39Good friends.
18:43And why not?
18:46Now, you listen to me.
18:48But Mrs. Gladden said if you called again, she didn't want to see you.
18:52Well, tell her I'm here.
18:53Please.
18:54Or she'll see me.
18:55She's got to see me.
18:58Oh, all right.
18:59You wait here.
19:10Remember, Irma Gladden, I've warned you.
19:13Be careful.
19:14Oh, I'll be very, oh, so very careful, Mrs. Sibley.
19:19Thank you, Mrs. Gladden.
19:20Oh, Mrs. Gladden.
19:21Yes, Norman.
19:22The young man who calls himself Robert Worth would like to see you.
19:36Will you tell the young man who calls himself Robert Worth, I don't care to see him.
19:42Yes, ma'am.
19:50So, that detective agency has come to life at last.
19:53Well, it's about time.
19:55Well, I've got to see her, I tell you.
19:56I'm going to see her.
19:57I tell you, she doesn't want to see her.
19:59Well, close that window and put out my pajamas.
20:01Are you going to pay her unless I call her cops?
20:03Please, dear.
20:04Are you sorry if she don't see me?
20:05Because I won't wait.
20:06Because I won't wait.
20:07Oh, please let me in.
20:08I've got to see her.
20:29You don't understand.
20:30I've got to.
20:31Come on, beat it.
20:36Hello, sweetie.
20:49Oh, still got on your high hat.
20:52Miss Gladden wishes to see you in her boudoir.
20:54In the boudoir, boy.
20:56Uh-oh.
20:57Aren't jealous, are you, sweetie?
21:06I haven't seen her before.
21:07Oh, my dear.
21:08He's gonna got to see you in the air.
21:09There's no trouble.

24:14The center of attraction, as usual, I suppose.
24:18Oh, she wasn't exactly lonesome.
24:21You know, Rex, there's something fascinating about that girl.
24:23What is it?
24:24I wish I knew.
24:28Some women are like that.
24:30Literature and legend are full of them.
24:33Yeah.
24:35And they usually ride for a fall, too.
24:39Some women are too fascinating for their own good.

27:17What?
27:20Yes
27:20Of course
27:22Six or seven stubs
27:42One about every ten minutes
27:44That means whoever was sitting with her
27:47Talked at least an hour
27:48Yeah
27:50You say she left Calvin Green's alone
27:53About, uh
27:56Two o'clock, huh?
27:58Yeah, just about
27:59Uh-huh
28:00That would make it happen roughly about

40:10Trust me, won't you?
40:11I
40:13I really do want to help you
40:15You're very kind
40:17You know
40:19You have a beautiful name
40:21I'm glad you like it
40:24Aren't you the least bit curious about my name?
40:26Oh, I already know it
40:30Mind reader, eh?
40:31No
40:33I asked someone
40:35At the studio
40:37Oh, and then you were curious, too
40:40Well
40:42Oh, does your head hurt much?
40:45No
40:46It's all right
40:48And I'm afraid there's something wrong with my heart
40:55Here
40:56All right
40:57All right
40:58Did you find him?
40:59No
41:00Disappeared into thin air
41:02You think serious about?
41:03No, just a crack in the head
41:04Is that door open or closed when you made your investigation?
41:09Why
41:10Why
41:10It was open, of course
41:12It was closed and locked
41:13Whoever attacked Miss Christine was in that closet while we were in the room
41:16Well, maybe it was
41:17Who?
41:19Have you any idea who it might have been?
41:20Don't be afraid
41:22Well, it may have been Robert Worth
41:24Miss Gladden's first husband
41:26She married him before she ever thought of Hollywood in the career
41:29Then when she became famous, she divorced him
41:32Threw him over
41:33Just as she was ridding herself of Andre Layton for
41:36Someone else
41:37Who?
41:38Come on
41:38Who?
41:40It's common knowledge that Rex Forsyth was madly in love with her
41:44Oh, I see
41:45What makes you think Robert Worth might have been in there?
41:48He tried to see Miss Gladden this afternoon
41:50You see, he still loved her in spite of everything
41:54Oh, I see
41:55About that note
41:57You found it, Miss Christine?
41:58We searched the room, but it wasn't here
42:00Worth might have sent it
42:02Probably did
42:04Delaney, take some notes
42:08Roundup, Robert Worth
42:10Book among suspicion of murder
42:13I want to question Sibley
42:15And Sibley's wife
42:17And Andrew Layton
42:18That chauffeur, too
42:18My office in the morning
42:22Got that down?
42:22Got what down?
42:23What are you looking for?
42:25Captain, I lost my pencil
42:26Captain, I lost my pencil
42:28You would, yes
42:29Next thing you'll lose your job
42:32Miss Christine, I want to see you
42:34You too, Bob
42:36Good night
42:36Good night
42:37Captain, if I had somebody else to question
42:38I'd get to the bottom of it
42:40Do you want to tell me now?
42:41Yes, I'll tell
42:42All I can
42:44Well, let's go over to Henry's
42:45And you can tell it to me
42:46Over sandwiches and coffee
42:47I'll get my coat
42:48All right
42:49Stop it, stop it
43:15You put those papers there?
43:16Sure
43:16Have you read any of them?
43:17No, sir
43:19All right, listen to this
43:28Who killed Irma Gladden?
43:29The police don't know
43:30Do we?
43:31No, we don't
43:34There's another one
43:36Sergeant Delaney reports
43:38The old bromide that the police expect to make an arrest shortly
43:42Do we?
43:43No, we don't
43:44Well, I thought
43:44You thought
43:45With what?
43:49Here's another one
43:50Listen to this
43:52The progress thus far made by the police in the Gladden case
43:56Would do credit to a correspondence school for detectives
44:00I'll handle them newspapers
44:05You'll handle them newspapers
44:07You'll handle them
44:08If I ever hear you say you'll handle them again
44:11I'll break them
44:13What have you done?
44:15What have we done?
44:16What?
44:16Nothing
44:17Nothing
44:19Something
44:20Can we pin anything on them?
44:21Can we pin anything on them?
44:23Why, I don't
44:23Shut up
44:24I'll answer
44:25No, we cannot
44:29Late
44:31Says she was in a speakeasy all night
44:34Forgot where?
44:36Can't remember where?
44:38Sibley
44:38Says he started for Tijuana
44:40Changed his mind and came back at 4 o'clock in the morning
44:42But nobody saw him
44:45Mrs. Sibley
44:45Says she was out all night looking for her husband
44:48Couldn't find him
44:49And makes the chief thought of committing the crime
44:53And that chauffeur
44:54That chauffeur
44:56He says he was walking home from Hollywood to Alvarado
44:59Yeah
45:01Yeah
45:02And Robert Wirth
45:03What happened to Robert Wirth?
45:05What happened to Robert Wirth?
45:07Huh
45:08I don't know
45:09You suppose I thought you knew?
45:10Well, I've got the dragnet out for
45:12You want the dragnet out for me?
45:13The dragnet
45:14The dragnet
45:15You probably lost the dragnet like it lost your tangels
45:23Come in
45:24Good day, Captain
45:25Yeah, what's good about it?
45:27Well, the papers haven't been very kind so far, have they?
45:32Got something?
45:32Where's the note that took you away from the house that night?
45:41Signed Andre
45:42Andre Leighton
45:43It's a cinch
45:44He did it
45:45I thought so all along
45:49Where'd you find it, Bob?
45:50Well, Captain
45:51Our cards are on the table
45:53Andre Leighton is Miss Christine's brother
45:57What's the story, Bob?
45:58Well, even though Miss Gladden was divorcing Leighton
46:00He, uh, still loved her
46:02So he sent to New York for Miss Valerie
46:04To come out here and take a position with her
46:06As her secretary
46:08He thought that she might be able to change things
46:10You know, perhaps, uh, good influence
46:14Were you at your brother's house that night?
46:15Yes
46:16He came in about 3.30
46:18Terribly upset
46:20He, he doesn't remember sending me the note
46:23That isn't his handwriting
46:26I checked on that
46:27That'll have to be proved
46:29I'm sorry, Miss Leighton
46:31The circumstances warrant placing your brother under arrest
46:35Oh, no
46:36Now, wait a minute
46:37I didn't give you a bum steer on that Donahue case, did I?
46:39Well, no, you didn't
46:41Well, then, do me a favor
46:43Hold off on Leighton until tomorrow
46:45Until we've all had a chance to look at Miss Gladden's last picture
46:47Falling Star
46:48What's that got to do with it?
46:50Well, it might have a lot to do with
46:51I think you're crazy
46:53You'll understand just as soon as you've seen the picture
46:55Layton hasn't tried to get away
46:56He, if you arrest him now, it'll ruin him
46:59Do this for me
47:01For us
47:04Whom do you suspect?
47:05Well, it could be anyone of several
47:08Ha ha
47:09Anyone of several
47:10The idea is silly, preposterous
47:12Make out a warrant for Layton's arrest
47:14I'll handle it, Captain
47:20Summer speaking
47:21Delaney
47:23Delaney, wait
47:27Robert Worth
47:30All right, go ahead
47:31I know who killed Irma Gladden
47:33I saw it done
47:35And I'm afraid for my life
47:42Room 36
47:43Stratton Arms
47:45Apartments
47:48Let it get a car hurry
47:49Right
47:49Bob, you can come along too
47:50Where's your brother?
47:51At home
47:51See that he stays there
48:15Don't
48:23Don't
48:23Stop
48:24Don't
48:24Don't
48:25Don't
48:25I'm afraid
48:26Don't
48:26Don't
48:27Don't
48:27I'm afraid
48:28Oh
48:58Through the heart
49:21Captain I think I know the answer and I'm serious as I've never been before in my life well
49:28I want you to use your authority to have a private showing of falling star and have everyone there that was connected with the picture
49:38All right, thank you Delaney all right dad used to hear take care of the body
49:51Healthy healthy
49:54Is she
49:56Geoffrey what are you doing here?
49:58It's a strange for our husband even a discarded husband to visit his wife
50:06Elsie won't answer my dear
50:08And why not may I ask?
50:10I've called her away. She's going to my apartment to meet me
50:15You see my dear Elsie is really working for me
50:18She is my sister
50:20Oh, I see
50:22She's here to spy on me
50:24Well, my lord now that you've discovered everything. What are you going to do about it?
50:29I see you remember it the token of our meeting in India the dagger that saved your life
50:45Geoffrey what are you going to do?
50:47You remember the night that star flame brightly in the sky then plunged into darkness
51:00A drink crazed fool would have plunged this bit of steel into your heart
51:04But it found a home instead in his
51:06Oh
51:08I didn't know then that you had made a fool of him as you have of me a dozen others
51:14Oh
51:15Geoffrey I swear
51:18Wishipping you I married you took you out of the gutter made you a lady
51:24And then you betrayed me
51:27With my best friend
51:29Geoffrey I'm
51:30But the moment for atonement is here
51:34Behind you is a path of selfishness, lies, deceit
51:39Before you darkness, oblivion
51:42Has that media flamed and died
51:45So you too shall die
51:49Geoffrey, no
51:50Help
51:51Geoffrey, no
51:53Stop it, stop it
51:57Yes, I did it
51:59I'd do it again
52:00I killed her
52:02I shot Robert Worth too because he knew
52:04I knew that Valerie Christine was Andre Leighton's sister
52:07I wrote the note to make it look as though he did it
52:09I planned the whole thing
52:10Just as I wrote it for the screen, just as you saw it
52:13What did she do to Robert Worth?
52:15Married him for a few paltry thousands
52:17Made him as stepping stone to fame
52:19And Andre Leighton, look at him
52:22Look at him
52:23You remember what he was
52:25And see what he is now
52:26A drink-crazed Hulk that was once a man
52:29And Warren Sibley, my friend
52:31Andre's friend
52:32Another fool like me
52:33Yes, I went there that night
52:35To her home
52:36Pleaded with her to marry me
52:38But she laughed at me, said that I was a fool
52:40Like him, like Sibley, like a dozen others
52:43That I had served her a purpose
52:44And that she was through with me
52:45Through
52:45Selfishness, lies, deceit
52:48Then you
52:50If it hadn't been for you
52:51Snooping around, reading my scripts
