00:00:00¶¶
00:00:30Wake up, you sleepyhead.
00:00:50Did I...
00:00:51Have you forgotten what day this is?
00:00:56What day this is?
00:00:57Cheers.
00:00:59What time is it?
00:01:00Have I missed my train?
00:01:01No, but you'll miss a nice hot breakfast if you don't hurry down.
00:01:04Okay, Mom.
00:01:05I'm practically through my third batch of flapjacks right now.
00:01:08Fine!
00:01:12More flapjacks, son?
00:01:13What do you want to do, Mom?
00:01:15Send McNeil and Jones a stuffed engineer?
00:01:17Oh, maybe you won't be able to eat so well in the city.
00:01:20Well, of all I can see, I bet there's a hundred cooks as good as you in the city, almost.
00:01:25But they won't care whether you eat or not like I do.
00:01:28Oh, don't think I haven't appreciated all you've done for me since Pa died.
00:01:31Why, I haven't done anything, Johnny.
00:01:33No.
00:01:34Nothing.
00:01:35Nothing except spend every cent of the insurance Pa left you for my education.
00:01:39Nothing except years of hard work and a whacking big slice out of your life to make my life easier.
00:01:45You, uh, you'd better get ready for the train.
00:01:48Hey, now, now, somebody think you're anxious to see me go.
00:01:52I want you to make good, son.
00:01:54I will, Mom.
00:01:55Before you know it, I'll send for you.
00:01:56I'll build you a house in the city, a palace fit for a queen, twenty rooms and six baths.
00:02:00One is enough for me.
00:02:02All right, one, but I'll go plate it for you.
00:02:04Gee whiz, it is time. Come on, get on your hat and cool.
00:02:07I'm not going to the station, son.
00:02:11Well, you are too.
00:02:12Everybody's best girl says goodbye right at the train.
00:02:15I'd rather do it here.
00:02:19Okay, Ma, I understand.
00:02:28Goodbye, Ma.
00:02:30Goodbye, son.
00:02:31Take good care of yourself.
00:02:33I will.
00:02:34And you too, Mother.
00:02:36Goodbye.
00:02:38Goodbye.
00:02:47Goodbye, son.
00:03:06You're working pretty late, aren't you, Fraser?
00:03:20Oh, good evening, Mr. McNeil.
00:03:22I got an idea on that automatic pump job for Franklin Gas, and I thought I'd get it down while it was hot.
00:03:27I see.
00:03:31Takes away considerable curvature, eh?
00:03:33Yes, sir, and makes the flow that much more efficient.
00:03:35Hmm.
00:03:37How long have you been with us?
00:03:39About two months.
00:03:40Well, that's good work.
00:03:42You keep that up, and we'll have to find a better spot for you.
00:03:45Gee, that's swell.
00:03:46Hmm?
00:03:47I mean, thanks.
00:03:48Good night.
00:03:49All right.
00:03:50Don't you work too late.
00:03:51No.
00:03:52Good night, sir.
00:03:54THE END
00:04:24Hey, Fraser
00:04:34What?
00:04:36It's no use
00:04:37What's no use?

00:04:48and Horatio Alger's been dead for 40 years
00:04:51So, why work like a mule?
00:04:55I like it

00:05:00Yeah, by the skin of my teeth

00:05:03to fall back on
00:05:04when those ponies don't run right
00:05:05Ponies?
00:05:07Yeah, old eaters

00:05:28a 30 to 1
00:05:29Haven't you got somebody

00:05:37For your best girl
00:05:39Yeah
00:05:40For my best girl
00:05:42And now Johnny's been promoted again
00:05:47Why, he's been made a member of the firm
00:05:49Practically a partner
00:05:51I've just had a letter from my Johnny
00:05:54You know, he's been promoted
00:05:56He's a partner in the firm now
00:05:58McNeil and Jones and Fraser
00:06:01Oh, and he's a mighty good boy, too
00:06:04He sends me his check every week, almost
00:06:07And I might
00:06:07You know, I guess I get tired
00:06:15hearing me always talking about my Johnny
00:06:18Good afternoon, Mr. Fraser
00:06:26Cut out the Mr. Steve
00:06:28What's on your mind?
00:06:28I'm busy
00:06:29I'll say you're busy
00:06:30Busy as a bee
00:06:31But I notice it's me
00:06:32that brings you most to your honey
00:06:34Another winner?
00:06:35Fourteen to one
00:06:37I never did see such a guy for luck
00:06:40Well, why are you so sad about it?
00:06:43I didn't think it could last
00:06:44You chose Sally III to win
00:06:48So I chose Alexander I
00:06:50The III came in first
00:06:53And the I also ran
00:06:55Well, I'll split with you
00:06:58Fair enough
00:06:58What do you say we celebrate?
00:07:00I can't spare the time
00:07:01Oh, come on
00:07:02You work hard all day
00:07:03Why don't you have some fun at night?
00:07:05Say, when's the last time
00:07:06You got your nose wet
00:07:07Or had your arm around a girl?
00:07:09I never have
00:07:10What?
00:07:11Never?
00:07:12Well, hardly ever
00:07:14Oh, gotta change all that
00:07:15If you're meeting me tonight at seven, see
00:07:17We're gonna have dinner and
00:07:19Thanks, George
00:07:21Madeline here yet?
00:07:23She's dressing, sir
00:07:24Tell her I'll be back to see her later
00:07:25Yes, sir
00:07:26Who's Madeline?
00:07:28Why, she's a star of the floor show
00:07:30Wait till you see her
00:07:32You're a steady girl?
00:07:34Oh, wish she was
00:07:35I haven't got enough jack for a chill like her
00:07:37What do you have to drink, Johnny?
00:07:41Oh, whatever you have
00:07:50Uh, have a scotch and soda
00:07:52And tell the bartender who it's for
00:07:54Tell him not to be so scotch with the scotch
00:07:57Yes, sir
00:07:58You'll have to get a tuxedo, John
00:08:04Well, this was your idea
00:08:06In any way I can't afford it
00:08:07I know, I know
00:08:08It's okay
00:08:09Besides, nobody will mistake you for a waiter
00:08:11Well, I'll see you later
00:08:15I'm going back to say hello to Madeline
00:08:16Hold the fork
00:08:18And the scotch
00:08:19Come in
00:08:23Oh, it's you
00:08:27Why the sourpuss, sister?
00:08:30You know why
00:08:30That was a swell dip you handed me
00:08:33I lost ten bucks
00:08:35Ah, forget it
00:08:36There's twenty
00:08:38Well
00:08:40Mirror and mirror on the wall
00:08:42Is he a right guy, after all?
00:08:44I've been trying to tell you that for months
00:08:46But you wouldn't believe me
00:08:47Just the same
00:08:48I've got a sneaking suspicion
00:08:49I had to do something for that extra ten
00:08:51Not a thing, babe
00:08:52Except get a new laugh
00:08:54Uh-uh
00:08:55There are no new laughs
00:08:56I've heard them all
00:08:57Well, you don't hear this one
00:08:59You see it
00:09:00Or rather him
00:09:01After your number
00:09:03I want you to come over
00:09:04And meet Johnny Fraser
00:09:05Is that the laugh's name?
00:09:07Yeah
00:09:07But sometimes I think the laugh's on me
00:09:09Honest, this guy's the luckiest stiff I ever met
00:09:12He's been in the office
00:09:14Only half as long as I have
00:09:15And he's practically a member of the firm already
00:09:17He's not a bad looking kid
00:09:19But he's never had a girl in his life
00:09:21Sweet twenty-four
00:09:23And never been kissed
00:09:24Go away
00:09:25Hey, Madeline
00:09:26Coming
00:09:27Won't you come over to the table later
00:09:30What do I have to do?
00:09:32Drink milk?
00:09:33Well, I've got a show to do
00:09:34See you later
00:09:35Maybe
00:09:36Welcome home
00:09:57Why should I listen to
00:10:16Your flattery
00:10:19Whatever you may say
00:10:23Sounds false to me
00:10:26And makes me laugh
00:10:30Because I know you well
00:10:34The lies you told to me
00:10:40Are there you'll tell
00:10:42You sigh regretfully
00:10:46At your mistake
00:10:49You say you dream of me
00:10:54All night awake
00:10:57Why should I care?
00:11:01It's you who spoiled the game
00:11:07You know it best for you
00:11:12Our old fool
00:11:17Blame
00:11:20Apparently you liked it
00:11:35Oh, gee, that was beautiful
00:11:36The song of the girl
00:11:38Both
00:11:39And you know her well
00:11:40Gee, I'd like to meet her
00:11:44Could you
00:11:46Well, I tried, Johnny
00:11:48But she's been brought up very strict
00:11:50And she doesn't like to meet strangers
00:11:52That's what I thought
00:11:53You know, you can sort of tell
00:11:55She's that kind of a girl
00:11:56Just by looking at her
00:11:57You know what I mean
00:11:58I mean she
00:11:59Oh, uh
00:12:01Hello, Madeline
00:12:02Won't you join us?
00:12:05I'd love to
00:12:07Uh, I want you to meet a friend of mine
00:12:10Mr. Fraser
00:12:11Uh, Johnny, this is Miss Kirby
00:12:13Well, uh, what do you say
00:12:20We all sit down
00:12:21Oh, yeah
00:12:23Yeah
00:12:24Do you like dancing, Mr. Fraser?
00:12:29Oh, yes
00:12:30Well, I'm not very good at it
00:12:31Perhaps you need a little practice
00:12:33Would you like to dance with me?
00:12:35Oh, I'm afraid I'll step on over you
00:12:37I'll take a chance
00:12:39All right, you asked for it
00:12:41Uh, what'll you have to drink?
00:12:44A glass of milk
00:12:46Who is it?
00:13:12Enter, Mr. Fraser
00:13:17Oh, pardon me
00:13:20It's all right, Johnny
00:13:26You can look now
00:13:27Oh, hand me my dress
00:13:28Will you, darling?
00:13:29Thanks for the flowers, Johnny
00:13:42Oh, I didn't send them
00:13:43You didn't?
00:13:46Well, I wonder who they're from
00:13:48Take a look at the card, Johnny
00:13:50Oh, they're from Steve
00:13:58From Steve?
00:14:01That's funny
00:14:02Jealous?
00:14:05Terribly
00:14:07Only because
00:14:08I didn't think of it first
00:14:09Your song was lovely tonight, Madeline
00:14:32Better than last night
00:14:33Well, I like it better every time you sing it
00:14:35You're sweet, Johnny
00:14:37You think so?
00:14:41I wish I could tell you what I think of you
00:14:44Do you really like me, Johnny?
00:14:48You want me to prove it?
00:14:51Well
00:14:51All right
00:14:53I'll take you to dinner tonight
00:14:55All right
00:14:57But not to the automath
00:14:58Oh, no, no
00:14:59Some real nice place
00:15:01What do you say we have dinner right here at the club?
00:15:03Suits me
00:15:04Come on
00:15:05Well, those flowers
00:15:06Aren't you going to wear them?
00:15:13Pretty, aren't they?
00:15:16But they're not from the right man
00:15:18It's been a lovely supper, Johnny
00:15:28And as a reward
00:15:30You may come to the rehearsal of my new show tomorrow
00:15:32Oh, what time?
00:15:35Eleven o'clock
00:15:36I'm afraid I can't
00:15:37You see, I've been playing hooky from the office pretty often lately
00:15:40Oh, well, don't come if you don't want to
00:15:42But, darling, I do want to
00:15:44It's just that I'm behind in my work
00:15:46And...
00:15:48Oh, to the devil with it
00:15:50I'll be here
00:15:50I'm dying to hear you sing that new song
00:15:52What's the matter?
00:16:05Oh, nothing
00:16:06Nothing
00:16:06It's all right
00:16:16Sure up
00:16:29Saturday's payday, isn't it?
00:16:31Now, for me it isn't
00:16:32I've drawn ahead of my salary
00:16:33Uh, listen, Madeline
00:16:36I won't be able to take you to that weekend party
00:16:38Those friends of yours are giving
00:16:39I...
00:16:39I just simply can't afford it
00:16:41But I've already accepted
00:16:42Oh, it's all right, Johnny
00:16:46I'll find someone to take me
00:16:48Maybe Steve
00:16:51You're not going to that party with Steve or anybody else?
00:16:57Why not?
00:16:58Because you're going with me
00:16:59Don't worry, I'll manage it somehow
00:17:02Thank you
00:17:06Here
00:17:08Thank you
00:17:09Thank you
00:17:38Well, I just saw both the bookies
00:18:06And they won't wait
00:18:06They want you a hundred and my sixty
00:18:08By tomorrow noon or else
00:18:09Else what?
00:18:10Or else somebody will sidle up to you on the street
00:18:12And the first thing you know
00:18:12You'll have a broken arm
00:18:13Just as a polite reminder
00:18:15And the second reminder
00:18:17Might not be so pleasant
00:18:18Hey, don't scare me
00:18:20They might scare you out of your job, though
00:18:22What do you mean?
00:18:23You know how straight-laced McNeil is
00:18:25Well, I'll go to him, sure
00:18:26Then maybe you won't have this nice new office very long
00:18:29Not if McNeil and Jones find out their genius
00:18:32Was just another playboy
00:18:34I've racked my brain for days trying to think of something
00:18:36I even try to peddle the patents I own
00:18:38On that new type transformer
00:18:39There's still one way out
00:18:42What?
00:18:43You're in charge of the petty cash trove
00:18:45That's enough
00:18:45You sign a voucher for a lot of new supplies
00:18:48They won't even miss the extra 200
00:18:49Until the 10th of next month
00:18:51No
00:18:51At that time you can recoup
00:18:52Your luck's bound to turn
00:18:54Then you can put it back
00:18:55Take out the voucher
00:18:56And nobody will know anything about it
00:18:58I won't do it
00:18:59Well, if you don't
00:19:00You'll lose your job
00:19:01I won't do it, I tell you
00:19:02Okay
00:19:03That's the way you feel about it
00:19:05I won't do it
00:19:20Send Fraser in here right away.
00:19:50How much of this did you get?
00:19:54Nothing.
00:19:55Not a cent.
00:19:56I have different information.
00:19:58I know it was you who persuaded him to gamble.
00:20:01You who introduced him to nightlife.
00:20:03Is that a crime?
00:20:04The only crime is that I have not sufficient proof to put you where you belong.
00:20:10Now get out of this office.
00:20:12Get out and stay out.
00:20:14It's okay with me.
00:20:20I suppose you know what I want to see you about.
00:20:33Yes, sir.
00:20:35Just what did Steve Carson have to do with this?
00:20:38Nothing.
00:20:39I'm very disappointed in you, Fraser.
00:20:43I had great hopes of you.
00:20:46I thought we'd found in you the kind of young blood an old firm like this needs.
00:20:52I'm very glad I found out in time that it was bad blood.
00:20:58This is your man, officer.
00:21:00Sorry, kid, but it looks like you're going to be in there a long time.
00:21:07Unless we can raise some money.
00:21:09Did you see Madeline?
00:21:10Yep.
00:21:11Well?
00:21:12What'd she say?
00:21:13Forget about it, kid.
00:21:16She barely remembered your name.
00:21:18A lady to see you, Fraser.
00:21:21Ma.
00:21:22Johnny.
00:21:23How did you find out?
00:21:25Well, you didn't write.
00:21:27My letters came back, so I came to the city to find you.
00:21:30They told me at the place where you, you used to work.
00:21:34Mom, I didn't want you to know.
00:21:36Oh, never mind, Johnny.
00:21:38Mr. McNeil just made a mistake.
00:21:40You're not guilty, and he's bound to find it out.
00:21:43What makes you so sure I'm not guilty?
00:21:45Well, I know my own son, don't I?
00:21:48Now we must find some way to get you out of here.
00:21:51I can get him out okay.
00:21:53All we've got to have is a little money.
00:21:56I've got a lot of connections.
00:21:58Mother, this is Steve Carson, a friend of mine.
00:22:00How do you do, Mr. Carson?
00:22:03How much money would it take?
00:22:07Well, uh...
00:22:09And here's a $200 to repay what you lost through Fraser.
00:22:12I don't want to be too hard on the lad, but he's altogether too clever for his own good.
00:22:16I'm afraid if he gets away with it this time, it will only encourage him to embrace a life of crime.
00:22:21But Fraser's no criminal.
00:22:23If I wasn't sure of that, you'd think I'd have taken all this trouble to raise the money for him?
00:22:27Well, it's much against my better judgment.
00:22:30But I feel very sorry for the boy's mother.
00:22:33All right.
00:22:34I'll telephone the district attorney and tell him I won't prosecute.
00:22:37Thank you very much, Mr. McNeil.
00:22:40Carson, it was very decent of you to do this for Fraser.
00:22:43I'm afraid I misjudged you.
00:22:46Would you like your old job back?
00:22:48No, Mr. McNeil.
00:22:49I'm making a lot more money in a new line.
00:22:52So, Mrs. Fraser, I had to spend the whole $2,000 you gave me and a few dollars of my own besides.
00:22:58Well, I have almost $100 left.
00:23:00Won't you let me give you that?
00:23:02Oh, no, Mrs. Fraser, I couldn't think of that.
00:23:04Helping you and Johnny has been a real pleasure.
00:23:06Well, you've certainly been a friend in need, Mr. Carson.
00:23:09But you promised me not to let Johnny know about him selling the house, won't you?
00:23:14You can depend on that.
00:23:15He'll never know it from me.
00:23:16Well, goodbye.
00:23:17Oh, aren't you going to wait and see Johnny?
00:23:19He'll want to thank you.
00:23:20I was afraid of that.
00:23:22Uh, you just tell him I had an appointment and I couldn't wait.
00:23:26Goodbye.
00:23:27Knowing you has done me a lot of good, Mrs. Fraser.
00:23:44Well, how do you like it?
00:23:45It's rather modest.
00:23:46Oh, it's real nice, Ma.
00:23:52Are you sleeping here?
00:23:53Oh, no.
00:23:54You take that room.
00:23:55It doesn't matter.
00:23:56No, no, no.
00:23:57It's better for you.
00:23:58Here, here.
00:23:59Stop that.
00:24:00I'm the porter.
00:24:01Now, you sit right down here like that and you tell me where you want things.
00:24:06Let me help you.
00:24:07No, no.
00:24:08Nothing doing.
00:24:09I'll have it all done in a jiffy.
00:24:11What's this?
00:24:14Oh, my report cards from school.
00:24:17Oh, those are just some things a silly old woman say.
00:24:20Oh, wait a minute.
00:24:24Dear Ma, I'm leaving here so I won't make any more trouble for Pa.
00:24:27I love you very much.
00:24:28Johnny.
00:24:29That was a long time ago, Johnny.
00:24:35Wanton.
00:24:38Ma, you mean to say you never cashed those checks I sent you?
00:24:40That's right.
00:24:41I never did.
00:24:42To me, they were like the gold stars your teacher used to put on the report cards.
00:24:46Two hundred, two forty, two seventy, three hundred, three thirty.
00:24:50Wow.
00:24:51We're rich.
00:24:52We're rich, Ma.
00:24:53Oh, boy.
00:24:54Oh, stop it, Johnny.
00:24:56Stop it.
00:24:57Mother, you're an angel.
00:24:58Well, you know this will hold us over until I get a job.
00:25:00I'm going out right now to start looking for one.
00:25:02I'll catch one of these and bring you home a nice juicy steak, huh?
00:25:04Goodbye, Ma.
00:25:05See you later.
00:25:06Goodbye, son.
00:25:07Oh, uh, excuse me, Ma'am.
00:25:08I didn't know they rented this apartment.
00:25:09I was just going to do a little cleaning.
00:25:10I'm Terry, the superintendent.
00:25:11Superintendent?
00:25:12Yes, ma'am.
00:25:13But I'm the janitor, too.
00:25:14Where do you want these things put, Ma'am?
00:25:15In the bedroom, please.
00:25:16Yes, ma'am.
00:25:17Yes, ma'am.
00:25:18Yes.
00:25:19Okay, sir.
00:25:20No, I mean, ma'am.
00:25:21I don't know you didn't care about me, ma'am.
00:25:22I didn't know they rented this apartment.
00:25:23I was just going to do a little cleaning.
00:25:24I'm Terry, the superintendent.
00:25:25Superintendent?
00:25:26Yes, sir.
00:25:27But I'm the janitor, too.
00:25:29Where do you want these things put, Ma'am?
00:25:31In the bedroom, please.
00:25:32In the bedroom, please.
00:25:48That's my son.
00:25:50Fine-looking boy, ma'am.
00:25:52He is a fine boy.
00:25:54He's out looking for a job right now.
00:26:02THE END
00:26:32Johnny, darling, you mustn't feel this way.
00:26:41You're a good boy, and someone is bound to want you.
00:26:44Nobody wants a jailbird.
00:26:45Oh, don't say that. It isn't true.
00:26:47Unfortunately, it is true.
00:26:50You...
00:26:50You mustn't become bitter, son.
00:26:53I know how you feel.
00:26:55How can you know how I feel?
00:26:56Did you ever trap the streets looking for work day after day, week after week, and for what?
00:27:00Had any experience? Got any references? Can't use you?
00:27:04I have to listen to that just one more time.
00:27:06Oh, don't, son.
00:27:08You're tired and discouraged.
00:27:10And you're hungry, too.
00:27:13You rest here and try to relax while I fix you something nice.
00:27:18You know, son, I feel that everything will turn out all right.
00:27:21God will help us if we just put our faith in him.
00:27:25Yes, ma'am.
00:27:36Come in.
00:27:38Hello, Terry.
00:27:39Good evening, ma'am.
00:27:40I wonder if you folks would help me out of a little jam.
00:27:46Why, of course, Terry.
00:27:47What is it?
00:27:49Well, you see, ma'am, it's this way.
00:27:52A cousin of mine has got a little place out in the country where he keeps chickens and things like that.
00:27:57He's always bringing me stuff.
00:27:59Today, you brought me a couple of pullets that I won't be able to use but one.
00:28:03So I thought maybe you folks would do me a favor and eat this and to keep it from going the ways.
00:28:08Why don't you save it till tomorrow or the next day?
00:28:11Oh, you're just spoiling, ma'am.
00:28:12I ain't got no icebox down in my place.
00:28:14And besides, I don't care much about chicken, no ma'am.
00:28:17Well, if you're sure...
00:28:20Yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am, yes, ma'am.
00:28:21Thanks.
00:28:21I hope you enjoy it, ma'am.
00:28:24Good night.
00:28:31Say, Johnny, manna from heaven.
00:28:45Yes, ma'am, manna from heaven.
00:28:51Donnie, don't you think you'd better get some sleep?
00:28:56You look tired.
00:28:59You're right, ma'am, I'm tired.
00:29:02Guess I'll turn in.
00:29:08Feel a little better, son?
00:29:09Sure, ma'am.
00:29:10Don't worry, I'll be okay.
00:29:12Good night.
00:29:13Oh, I nearly forgot.
00:29:14I traded rooms with you today.
00:29:16I'll sleep in here now.
00:29:19Well, why?
00:29:19What's the idea?
00:29:20Well, that couch is too short for you to sleep on.
00:29:23It's just right for me.
00:29:24Run along now, son.
00:29:27Fine.
