00:00The End
00:35The End
01:11I think the police department are entirely too lenient with these vicious exhibitions of sex
01:17You're entirely right, Henry
01:20I don't see what's happening to our youngsters today
01:23I see that that philanthropist Paul Lorenz and his committee are doing a wonderful work
01:29He'll soon clean up this filth and educate the youngsters towards a better life
01:36The joy out of life
01:38Why don't they reform themselves and give up the chance to get a little innocent pun once in a while
01:45I'm going over to Dean's house
01:46They'll probably try to stop me from doing that pretty soon
01:52It can't be that James is interested in this sort of entertainment
01:55Oh, impetuous youth mother
01:59He's like all the rest
02:01Now don't worry about him
02:03He'll be all right
02:05I hope so
02:30Enough to this, Betty
02:34The principal objection made by the Commissioner was when Sheila Wayne
02:38Removed her last bit of clothing
02:41And walked off smiling to the audience
02:44You must have plenty of it
02:47I wish I could do that instead of slaving in this office
02:51I'll bet you could
02:56You do have plenty of it
02:58You think so?
03:00Say
03:00I wonder if I couldn't be a strip-team queen
03:04What's she got that I haven't got?
03:08How do they do it?
03:10Zip
03:12Off
03:14Zip
03:14Say, what do you say we go and see her tonight?
03:17It'll be great fun
03:18All right, let's plan it tonight
03:19Oh, great
03:24Oh, great
03:31Oh, great
03:32Oh, great
03:33Oh, great
03:39Oh, great
03:42Oh, great
03:44Oh, great
03:44Oh, great
03:45Oh, great
03:45Oh, great
03:46Oh, great
03:47Oh, great
03:47Oh, great
03:47Oh, great
03:48Oh, great
03:49Oh, great
03:49Oh, great
03:50Oh, great
03:55Darling, tonight, you can phone home and see you're staying with friends.
04:21That's my place tonight, won't you?
04:55Man, oh man, has she got it?
04:57Boy, oh boy, look at that move.
04:59Isn't she something?
05:32I'm worried about James.
05:34He's out late as usual.
05:35Oh, now, don't worry, Mother.
05:38He's just out having a little innocent fun.
05:41Oh, let's go to bed.
05:44All right.
05:50Oh, my God.
06:02Oh, my God.
06:13Oh, I'll be, oh.
06:15Oh, my God.
06:17Oh, my God.
06:17Oh, my God.
06:19Phew.
06:20Another grand performance under the belt.
06:23And do I need relaxation?
06:25Oh, I'm tired.
06:26Me for bed.
06:28Bed?
06:28Did you say bed?
06:31That's not too relaxing.
06:32That's for action.
06:34Gosh, it was taking my clothes off when I come into the theater.
06:37Putting them on again.
06:38Taking them off for the customers.
06:40Putting them on again.
06:41Taking them off again when I'm ready to go home.
06:44I think it's time I gave the old mouth a chance and had a drink.
06:47Well, now that you're all through tonight, I guess you can enjoy yourself.
06:52Hey, you said it.
06:53You know what?
06:54That's exactly what you're all going to do.
06:56We've got a date with Tom Lorenz.
06:58Oh, not me, thanks.
06:59I've got some letters tonight.
07:01Don't you know who he is?
07:02His father's the biggest performer in town.
07:05Is that funny or is that funny?
07:07Well, then, now, you go right ahead.
07:09After all, you know, to his company.
07:12But he's got friends with him.
07:13Big time, sister, we're gonna step out.
07:16Oh, not me, Sheila.
07:18I'm going home.
07:19You know what I have to do.
07:20Yeah, I know.
07:22You've got to see that doctor in the morning and you want to look well.
07:25Oh, I suppose you'd put it that way.
07:27Listen, Millicent.
07:28You're only wasting your time.
07:29I went to a quack for a long timer.
07:31What did he ever do for me?
07:33Oh, but I tell you what, I've got to get well.
07:36You've got your old age to settle down and get well in.
07:38These boys will show us a swell time and they want to meet you.
07:41Well, some other time, please, Sheila.
07:45Besides, I'm very tired tonight.
07:47Well, sure.
07:48I'm tired every night until I get out and then I want to go to town.
07:52Oh, well, now listen.
07:55You go ahead and enjoy yourself.
07:57I tell you what to do.
07:58You take Alice Carter to do.
07:59You know, she's lots of fun.
08:01I don't inform you quite as well.
08:03Well, I guess that's that.
08:06Behold, Alice Carter in person.
08:09Did someone mention my name?
08:10Well, yes, Derry, but hope we don't let go.
08:13I'm in on that date.
08:15Sure.
08:15Sometime when I've got a grudge against myself, I'll take you along.
08:18What is that so?
08:48Hello, John.
09:15Take it easy now, boys. The best part of the evening is about to begin.
09:25Tom Warren, you sure can pick him. No matter how much Tom's father reforms him, he always finds a new
09:32one. You sure can pick him, Tom. Easy on that reform stuff now, boys. Here comes Sheila. Hello, Tom. Waiting
09:42long. Hello. Where's Sheila? She ran home to put on her evening gown. So what?
09:47She says for you to meet her outside of Mrs. Faith's house tonight. There's a big party on tonight. Well,
09:54there'll be plenty of girls there. Oh, there'll be lots of girls.
09:57Okay, baby. Would you like to come along? Yes, why don't you come along? Oh, come on. Oh, I'm sorry,
10:02boys, but I have a previous appointment. Oh, please. Good night. Have a good time. Okay, Jason. Thanks for the
10:08message, honey.
10:09All right.
10:40Oh, hello, Mrs. Jones. I didn't think you'd be here so late.
10:44Well, I knew you would be tired. That's why I came up to sell a little coffee for you after
10:48this show.
10:48Oh, yes, I am very tired. Oh, I don't know what I'd do without you, Mrs. Jones.
10:54Not so, ma'am. You're so kind. Not so.
10:56I used to be in show business once a full time, and I know that with a little kindness, you
11:03can accomplish a great deal.
11:04Oh, you know, Mrs. Jones, we girls are certainly lucky having a landlady like you around here.
11:13Oh, dear. I'm happy. When you girls try, I do all in my power to help you.
11:19But how are you feeling tonight, honey? Oh, not so well.
11:26Oh, my dear. Here I am back to seeing, and I forgot all about that special delivery that I was
11:32feeling for you this evening.
11:33Oh, that's the second one today. That boyfriend of yours must be very lonesome for you.
11:41Oh, thank you, Mrs. Jones. Oh, I must want to see Elizabeth. Good night. Happy dreams.
11:48Good night, Mrs. Jones.
11:51Good night.
12:05Midnight in situ çevres.
12:06Baby.
12:06What?
12:11My Lord?
12:15My Lord.
12:25Oh, why did I ever leave you?
12:34Well, Sheila, I'm awfully glad you came.
12:36I see you brought your boyfriend's with you.
12:38Well, it's a house party, isn't it?
12:40Besides, I wanted you to have enough boys to go around.
12:43Boy, this place was cozy.
12:45I'm sure glad I came.
12:46Well, we're glad, too.
12:47Now the feeling's usual.
12:49Say, girl, take the hats and clothes.
12:50Why, boys.
12:52No, I'm not.
12:53Go right ahead, boys.
12:54I want to talk to Sheila alone.
13:05Well, Sheila.
13:20Who's one of the boys is your new boyfriend?
13:22Don't you know who that fellow is?
13:25He's Tom Lorenz, you know.
13:27Son of a cross-procumber.
13:28Oh, yeah.
13:30I suppose you brought him here to be fun.
13:32No, it's on a level.
13:33I mean it.
13:34Yeah, well, I'm glad you did bring his father, too.
13:37Oh, forget it, darling.
13:38You know I can handle things.
13:40Oh, yes?
13:44Well, hello, Sheila.
13:47One drink.
13:49Well, say, you don't think she'd mind our being here.
13:51Of course not, darling.
13:53We were just talking about clothes.
13:55You know how we girls are.
13:59Oh, my.
14:01Are you having a good time?
14:03I hope so.
14:05Do you want to have a good time?
14:11And that's how she met with traveling salesmen.
14:16Come on, honey.
14:17Let's go have another drink.
14:25You know, there's one thing about these hot parties.
14:28Makes everyone feel so informal.
14:31Sure.
14:32We all feel like we know each other all the time.
14:39Long enough to fall in love with you at first sight.
14:50Pardon us, folks.
14:52We're going out for a drink.
14:54A drive.
14:55Uh-huh.
14:55A drive.
14:56Do you go right in?
14:57A little bit.
15:01Well, folks, there you have any good time.
15:03I wouldn't have missed this for anything.
15:05Good.
15:06Have a drink?
15:07No, sir.
15:08Not just now.
15:14Tom.
15:15Mrs. Faye has the cutest little Tom Rainion upstairs.
15:20Would you like to see him?
15:22I'm looking at Tom Rainion.
15:23Yes, sir.
15:35Well, Betsy, why don't you take your boyfriend and join the house?
15:39How about it, Jerry?
15:40Well, it's okay with me.
15:42Find some cozy little coffee.
15:45Oh.
15:46We hope is right.
15:55That's a great idea.
15:57Come on, George.
15:59I'll show you the guest room.
16:10Boy, I'm glad they left.
16:13Last day, though.
16:14I hope they stay a while.
16:18Fast.
16:19And it's best under the circumstances.
16:22Syphilis is a relentless enemy.
16:24And only constant and courageous fighting will come.
16:28Now, this boy at home, do you love him?
16:32Oh, he does.
16:33Then you must be fair to him.
16:35Well, there isn't anything I wouldn't do to prove myself to him.
16:39We grew up together.
16:41It was all so beautiful until...
16:44Until this dreadful thing happened.
16:47Miss Hamilton,
16:48your character doesn't indicate why you should be in this mess.
16:52What happened?
16:54Tell me everything.
16:56Well,
16:57I won a beauty contest at home.
17:00And I came to New York.
17:03I know you'll think me a little selfish,
17:05but
17:06I can't help feeling a little sorry that you won this contest.
17:10Oh, but, darling, you know how I feel about it.
17:13Why,
17:13why I'm so happy.
17:15I'm so excited about what you think.
17:17Going to New York.
17:20Oh,
17:21I'm pleased that you're happy.
17:23But,
17:24well, I'm afraid that if you go,
17:27it'll upset our plan.
17:29Oh, but, darling,
17:30you wouldn't let that happen, would you?
17:32Oh, nothing could stop.
17:33Thank you for marrying you.
17:35You see, I,
17:36I love you.
17:37And besides, I,
17:39I may come famous,
17:40and,
17:41well, then you could come on,
17:42and we could get married,
17:43and,
17:44oh, let's live happily ever after.
17:46Oh, sweet, hi.
17:49Oh, it's just the usual sort of a story,
17:51I suppose.
17:53After the contest was over,
17:54I,
17:54I thought of all the wonderful things a girl ever dreamed about.
17:59Fame,
18:00and fortune,
18:00and luxury.
18:03Oh, but I found myself walking from office to office.
18:06I was broke.
18:08Oh, my pride would not let me return home.
18:10You see, I,
18:11I'd,
18:12I'd written that I was depressed so I could find parties,
18:15but,
18:16but no position.
18:18And then,
18:20and then one day I,
18:22I met a theatrical manager.
18:24You know,
18:25a girl like you has to unbend a little.
18:27After all,
18:28you haven't had much experience.
18:30Oh, but I'm willing to do anything.
18:33Well, I'm ambitious.
18:34Oh, why don't you give me a chance?
18:36I'm offering you a chance right now.
18:38Here,
18:39we're arranging a lovely weekend out at Long Island.
18:41You'll have a swell time,
18:42and,
18:43uh,
18:43make some good connections.
18:45Well,
18:45must there always be a social side to this business?
18:48Well,
18:49there must be,
18:49if you expect to get anywhere.
18:51Oh,
18:51you won't have to do anything wrong.
18:53Just be nice and entertaining.
18:56Stand up a moment,
18:57please.
18:58I,
18:59I want to see how you shape up.
19:03That's right.
19:03Now,
19:04walk a little towards the door,
19:05will you?
19:10That's right.
19:10Now,
19:10come back this way.
19:16All right.
19:17Now,
19:17raise him up a little.
19:18Oh,
19:19don't mind me.
19:19I,
19:20I just want to see if you're the right type.
19:23Come on.
19:24Oh,
19:25come on,
19:25bring him up.
19:26Ah,
19:26bring him up a little higher.
19:28up,
19:28up,
19:29there.
19:29Ah,
19:31that's it.
19:32Say,
19:33you're going to be okay,
19:35honey.
19:35You know,
19:36uh,
19:37I kind of like you myself.
19:40All right,
19:41all right,
19:41have it your own way.
19:43Oh,
19:43you cut out the risky stuff,
19:45see?
19:46Now,
19:46here's the address that you go to.
19:50Oh,
19:51thank you so much.
19:53There was nothing else to do.
19:55I just had to have a job.
19:57Oh,
19:58there were lots of people there,
20:00and everything seemed very proper,
20:03until...
20:14she dances divinely,
20:15doesn't she,
20:16senorita?
20:16Oh,
20:17lovely,
20:17senor.
20:18Oh,
20:19and how do you like my Spanish?
20:21Well,
20:22it's much better than mine.
20:24See,
20:24I,
20:24I know such few words.
20:26Oh,
20:26but we must keep in the atmosphere.
20:28After all,
20:29this is a costume party,
20:30you know.
20:31Oh,
20:31oh,
20:31oh,
20:32oh,
20:32oh,
20:32oh,
20:32oh,
20:34it's so beautiful.
20:36The night,
20:38the music.
20:41And you,
20:42you to make the night divine.
20:52Oh,
20:53how I long for all this,
20:56a career,
20:57to be a life.
20:58Luggest,
21:00Oh, I'm dreaming. It's best to have all this.
21:05Oh, you could have all of this and more if only you would make up your mind to.
21:08Oh, but I want to make a name myself.
21:10Oh, I don't care how hard I'd have to work. It would be worth it.
21:15Work was never meant for such beautiful little hands as yours.
21:19Ah, senorita, you could have all of this and more.
21:23You could have wealth, luxury, beautiful clothes, servants.
21:28Oh, but I couldn't. You don't mean...
21:30Oh, why don't you let me put your name at the top of the show world?
21:33You could have all of this if only you'd let me.
21:35Oh, I'd be so grateful.
21:37Oh, it's nice to have someone interested in you.
21:41Oh, but you will help me.
21:42My power to help you at all times.
21:44To help you in your ambition. To get this and more.
22:03Let us seal our friendship with wine. Sparkling, bright, gorgeous, enchanting.
22:12We rid the mind of worry, fill the soul with hope.
22:18I, I suppose you're right. I, I never tried it.
22:24Ooh, ooh, ooh.
22:29To us.
22:35It was fascinatingly and partly because I was so terribly desperate.
22:41That night there was a wild party.
22:44I drank some champagne and it went to my head.
22:47And then it happened.
22:50I gave myself to him.
22:52And how long did you stay with this man?
22:55Several days, I'm not sure.
22:58Oh, it all seemed sort of a terrible dream.
23:02And then, then he left me.
23:04I was all alone.
23:06Prying with the horrible two stoned upon me.
23:10I was afraid and unclean.
23:14I needed money for medical attention.
23:16I, I even planned suicide.
23:18But it's because I knew my plight would be known at home.
23:21I, I determined to go on.
23:24And you got the job?
23:25In the burlesque show.
23:28It was the only job offered.
23:31That's my whole story, Doctor.
23:33I've omitted nothing.
23:35And, and was this your only mistake?
23:38Yes.
23:40Would to God that I hadn't.
23:42There, there, my child.
23:44I'll do all I can.
23:47Your case, if arrested at once, can be cured.
23:51But you must do your part.
23:54Now, about this boy.
23:56Of course, it's impossible for you to marry him at present.
24:00To the hospital with me and I'll show you why.
24:14I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but regulations require hospital clothes.
24:19Come with me.
24:25Now, this case is a young woman who neglected to take proper care of her affliction.
24:32Statistics prove that less than one half of syphilis cases seek treatment or are recognized within the first year of
24:40the disease.
24:40Here we see the insidious effects of syphilis upon once dainty fingers.
24:47Hands that rock the cradle, now pleading for humanity's help.
24:51For a plague it is that attacks every nerve center, every organ, and every muscle of the human body.
24:58Those in the autumn of their lives left to brood over the folly of ignorance and neglect.
25:04Painful of adultery until I paint my clothes.
25:09Now, I've shown you the worst side in the country.
25:12But there's also a hope.
25:15I want you to let me treat you daily for a short time.
25:19Say, one month.
25:21Here in the hospital.
25:22And then when I'm convinced you're progressing, you may leave and go home.
25:27You may not be free to marry.
25:29Marry.
25:31Not yet.
25:32But if you continue to take the treatment faithful from a competent physician at home,
25:37in time you'll be cured.
25:40Oh, but doctor, then everyone would know.
25:42Then go to a nearby city.
25:44There are very many fine doctors.
25:47And you could visit him at least once a week.
25:49But, I must advise you against Quack.
25:54Unscrupulous doctors who promise you complete health and only prolong your case.
26:00They exact heavy fees.
26:02And all your good works thus far will be lost.
26:06In any event, you are not to marry until you're definitely killed.
26:11I know it sounds hard.
26:14But we're dealing with a ruthless foe.
26:17I understand, doctor.
26:19And I'll do everything you say.
26:22That's fine.
26:23Now write home that you'll be detained just a little longer.
26:27Keep your courage and it'll turn out well.
26:47Dr. Hampton, I don't believe people should be ignorant of sex.
26:54Dr. Hampton, I don't believe people should be ignorant of sex.
26:59The marriages of social diseases.
27:02Dr. May 分ites were frightened.
27:03Rattle them, encourage promiscuous relations.
27:08Then on the other hand, if we teach them the beauty of a healthful, normal marriage,
27:15the spiritual satisfaction of rearing children, we shall have accomplished our thing.
27:23And our younger men and women will soon find themselves fit for the glorious state of God-given matrimony.
27:34I believe you are right, Mr. Lorenz.
27:36The prudish eluding of the facts of life are fast undermining our national health.
27:42The latest official statistics prove that one out of every ten are afflicted with a social disease.
27:49Unless this is checked through education and drastic treatment, humanity is bound to return to the dark ages of despair.
28:11Do you feel equal to the trip?
28:13Oh, Doctor, I'm so grateful and oh, so happy.
28:17There now, remember, we're not out of it all yet.
28:21Now, Millicent, you're leaving for a new life, new thoughts, new ideals.
28:27Fight hard. Follow my instructions and let me hear from you if you need help.
28:32I think you'd better hurry. You don't want to miss your train, do you?
28:36Well, goodbye, Doctor. And thank you for everything you've done.
28:40Goodbye, Millicent.
28:52Goodbye, I love you.
28:54Goodbye, I love you.
28:57Goodbye, I love you.
29:00Goodbye, Drone.
29:00You're welcome.
29:01Goodbye.
29:03Goodbye.
29:05Goodbye, Doctor.
29:11Goodbye, Doctor.
29:11Goodbye.
29:30Oh, there she is, Pa.
29:31There's Abna.
29:33Oh, I'm so glad she's going to be home with us again.
29:46Gosh, doesn't she look pretty, Ma?
29:48Oh, my goodness.
29:49That she's glad to be home.
29:55Oh, my goodness.
29:58Oh, my goodness.
29:58Mother, mother, be careful about the bad cold.
30:01Oh, father, the cold.
30:02But don't you remember how Daddy always had the cold?
30:05I mixed him up while we'll set you around in snow time.
30:09Well, literally, haven't you got a hug for you, Daddy?
30:13And there's someone waiting for you at home.
30:20Come on, let's not hurry now.
30:23And I've got to do more things up for you.
30:26And pick what I've got.
30:27Look, Dad.
30:28A chocolate cake for the kind that you just love.
30:31Now, Dad, get some of our things, will you, dear?
30:33And look, Dad.
30:35Come on, Dad.
30:36Come on, Dad.
30:37Come on, Dad.
30:39Come on, Dad.
30:40Come on, Dad.
30:47Come on, Dad.
30:52Just look, Pa.
30:53Our Millicent's so happy.
30:57Yep.
30:58She's grown up on it, Ma.
31:02I guess we'll be soon to Wendell.
31:05Oh, gosh, Ma.
31:07I was just thinking.
31:09She doesn't seem to be in any hurry to marry him.
31:12Well, you know how it is.
31:14She's our little girl.
31:17She'll decide what's right when her heart tells her.
31:21Because she's so glad to be back to us after her long visit to New York.
31:26Yeah, I guess you're right, Mother.
31:28We usually are.
31:30Yes?
31:32Yes?
31:32Yes.
31:39Yes?
31:39Yes?
31:39Yes, sir.
31:39Come on, I guess I can make a cry.
31:39No.
31:43CB, whoo'u'a lost my fame.
31:44Yeah?
31:46Yes, sir.
31:48In the sense you're lying.
31:48I?
31:49I tell you if it goes out.
31:49Yes?
31:50Sue, you're looking for me.
31:51Well, I think I'llanken you while you're lying or half.
31:52U B., you're lying.
31:56Yes?
32:20I'm going to the post office, Mother.
32:23I'll be right back.
32:24All right, darling.
32:53I'll be right back.
32:56I knew just how I longed for you each day.
33:00It's an agent.
33:03I never thought I'd be prepared with you or wait for me.
33:06Now that you're here,
33:08why are you making me so happy?
33:14I can't have waited for you.
33:16I should have stayed here with you.
33:18But you're here now.
33:20With me.
33:20And with those who love you,
33:22it will never deserve no matter what happens.
33:25No matter what happens.
33:28No matter what happens.
33:32See, all that God gives you to enjoy.
33:35Oh, I see it all, dear.
33:37God did give it to us and enjoy and help.
33:42I just wish we were in love.
33:44It would be everything beautiful.
33:46Maybe it was intended that way.
33:48But it might have intended everyone to be happy,
33:52no matter what's about.
33:54Come, not bother the past.
33:56All it did would keep us apart.
33:58And now together.
34:00All we have is a future to come.
34:02Oh, dearie.
34:04I want to be so happy with you.
34:07I want to share all your troubles and all your joy.
34:12I want to have this cause with you.
34:15Please just give me.
34:17Please.
34:25And I'm holding him off almost by four to delay the wedding.
34:29Well, I see no reason for the delay,
34:31if you follow my advice.
34:32Yes, doctor.
34:33I've been treating you for seven months, haven't I?
34:45And your chart here indicates
34:55the best doesn't come deeply.
34:58And that leads up to what I have in mind.
35:01Yes?
35:02A multiple serum treatment.
35:05Absolutely new in medical science.
35:08Expensive, but the advantage is the great.
35:12In short, this treatment will make it possible
35:14for you to marry within 30 days.
35:16Oh, doctor.
35:17Do you mean I'll be entirely...
35:19Cure, yes.
35:21Not an aspect of the disease will be left.
35:24You'll even be fixed.
35:26For me.
35:28Now, doctor, are you quite sure
35:30that within 30 days I'll be able to marry?
35:33The 30 days you've been waiting for.
35:35Marriages, children.
35:37And the cost is $100.
35:39And it's worth 10 times less.
35:56I'll pronounce you man and wife.
36:02Yeah.
36:30I'll quelques-founders.
36:30And so let's go to the temple of St.ительно.
36:53I'll see where they're getting after those quacks.
37:08No, I can't seem to read that small print.
37:12Ah, you ought to feel great being a father.
37:15Yeah, I ought to, Buck, but I don't.
37:18I've been feeling all in with you.
37:22Staying up all night with the baby.
37:24That's what does that.
37:26Yeah, I guess that's it.
37:29That.
37:29But something must be wrong.
37:32His lips are so blue.
37:35Oh, little feet.
37:37You better call Dr. Bill.
37:39I don't think he's going to steal him.
37:41But you better look at him.
37:44I don't know.
38:17Hey, Buck.
38:21Will you read this thing for me? I can't see those numbers.
38:25Sure, well.
38:27You read 253,000.
38:32All right.
38:34What's the matter, Vendell? Don't you feel good?
38:38I feel rotten, Mr. Schwartz.
38:41Now, something must be wrong with my eyes. I can't see.
38:44Well, that's nothing. Just the heat.
38:47That's nothing. You see, the weather is hot.
38:50But my business ain't so hot.
38:53That's all right. If you take off.
38:54Take off for the day and you'll be all right. That's all right.
38:56Go home. Goodbye.
38:57Well, gee, thanks, Mr. Schwartz.
38:58And I'll be in just that much earlier on Monday.
39:00That's all right. I think I'm good at rest. Go ahead. Go ahead.
39:02Go ahead.
39:05Now, Dr. Baird there, please.
39:08Oh, Doctor, will you please come right over? Something's happened to the baby.
39:14Thank you, Doctor.
39:24Hello?
39:26Oh, hello, Mrs. Schwartz.
39:29Is Wendell there, please?
39:30Wendell?
39:32No, no. He's gone. He left a little while ago.
39:36Said he was going straight home.
39:38Wasn't feeling so well again. You know, he died.
39:42Oh, thank you, Buck.
39:44You're welcome.
39:46Bye.
39:54Folks, you have a very sick style.
39:56My advice is to get a specialist.
39:59Oh, thank you.
40:00What is it, Doctor Baird? Tell me.
40:02He has a toxic condition.
40:05Folks, if I'd be feverish.
40:08Frankly, Mrs. Hamilton,
40:10he's desperately ill.
40:12Oh, Doctor,
40:13this can't mean...
40:14My advice is a pediatrician.
40:16This baby needs one.
40:19And I want both of you to come to my office at two this afternoon.
40:26Well, there you are.
40:28There, that's fine.
40:30Well, you're the third doctor I've been to already.
40:33I'm getting pretty discouraged.
40:35Well, it takes time.
40:36It takes time, my boy.
40:37Besides, you haven't been to the right one.
40:40Now, your case is my expense of this.
40:43Yes, that's what the last doctor told me.
40:45It cost me an awful lot already.
40:47Well, you're just paying the price of your file, my boy.
40:51Now, this little treatment I'm suggesting
40:53will be expensive.
40:55But you'll be cured.
40:57Well, I'll...
40:59I'll manage it somehow.
41:01Here's $75 on account.
41:04I'll pay you the rest of a few days.
41:06Why, that's fine.
41:08Now, uh...
41:09Tomorrow morning, uh...
41:23Dr. Hampton, there is no doubt
41:27that what your work in helping this campaign for education
41:33will, in time,
41:37it will, in time,
41:39bring these intolerable, horrible ravages of social diseases
41:45such as syphilis and danderea
41:49absolutely under control.
41:51Mr. Lorenz,
41:54your generous donation
41:55is the only thing that makes it possible
41:57to carry on our scientific research.
42:00There still remains a mountain of work
42:02for you and your co-workers
42:04to help us carry on.
42:05Well,
42:07good night.
42:08Good night, doctor.
42:09It's been good to see you.
42:10We meet again at...
42:12At the conference tomorrow.
42:14Tomorrow.
42:14Good night, sir.
42:15Good night, doctor.
42:16Good night, doctor.
42:17Good night, sir.
42:26Hello, son.
42:27You just missed Dr. Hampton.
42:30Yes, but...
42:32I didn't miss the conversation.
42:36The door was slightly ajar
42:38and, well, I couldn't help it over here.
42:40Good.
42:41Then you know the important work we're doing.
42:44Well, I know I've made a mess out of my life.
42:47Why, what do you mean?
42:51I mean that if I'd only been taught the
42:54awful truth about social disease
42:57years ago,
42:58well,
43:00well, I wouldn't be talking to you now.
43:02I,
43:03I don't understand.
43:06Father, I,
43:08I hate to tell you this, but
43:11I've become a victim.
43:13I've contracted syphilis.
43:16You have
43:18what?
43:19Yes, yes,
43:20it's the truth, father.
43:21And I'm pretty,
43:23pretty ashamed of it.
43:25I don't know.
43:25I had to see you
43:26to talk to you.
43:27I've got,
43:28I've got to get some advice about this.
43:29How did this happen?
43:33Well, we,
43:35we're on a party.
43:38Why didn't you come to me
43:39sooner?
43:41I,
43:42I didn't want you to know about it.
43:44I,
43:45well,
43:45I don't know.
43:46I went to quacks
43:48and clinics
43:48and
43:49tried to take care of myself
43:51and
43:52all they did was take my money in.
43:55And they did nothing.
44:01my boy.
44:03We've got a fight ahead of us.
44:06But I'm happy that you had this courage
44:09to come to me.
44:11And I must ask you,
44:12Wendell,
44:14are you entirely well?
44:17Well,
44:18as a matter of fact,
44:19doctor,
44:19my eyes have been bothering me lately,
44:22but
44:23I'm all right.
44:29You don't mean that,
44:31that,
44:33for God's sake,
44:35you don't mean that I'm responsible for my baby,
44:38that,
44:40well,
44:41children,
44:43your lungs,
44:44sir,
44:44has all the earmarks
44:46that the case is recorded in this medical book.
44:51And while I hate to tell you,
44:53you must know the truth.
44:55The truth,
44:56doctor.
44:57The truth?
44:58Your baby is syphilitic,
45:00and one or both of you are the cause.
45:03What in God's name are you talking about?
45:07But I said I was cured.
45:11Not,
45:12an aspect of the disease will be left.
45:15I'm no one who did this.
45:18Me.
45:20Only me.
45:22I had the disease.
45:25But the doctor said that I was cured.
45:28And I believed,
45:29and I believed.
45:33And the man of just what I am,
45:35I've murdered my baby.
45:37And now I'm murdering my husband.
45:39Oh,
45:39please,
45:40please,
45:40get in Dr. Harris
45:41from New York Neurological Hospital.
45:43Oh,
45:43please.
45:44Oh,
45:45he's so very warm.
45:48Oh,
45:48I see this terrible of you.
46:02who knows where death may be striking at this very moment from this dreaded disease.
46:08Only the light of truth is the dangers of syphilis.
46:13And with scientific treatment,
46:16these horrors can be brought under control,
46:20and countless innocent victims save.
46:24We must continue this important work of education and forget our prudish attitude towards sex.
46:35Enlighten your children.
46:38Teach them the facts of life.
46:41and trust them to avoid the dangerous pitfalls of these ravaging social diseases.
46:51I want to give you a concrete example of what I mean.
46:58Tom Lorenz,
47:00the son of our crusader,
47:03in our great work.
47:10Ladies and gentlemen,
47:13first,
47:14I want to thank my father
47:16that his fight
47:18against the fallies of youth
47:20have saved me from a life of misery.
47:23And tonight,
47:24I want to relate to you my own experiences
47:28with this flight upon mankind.
47:31Our crowd of boys were out for a good time,
47:33and we went to a burlesque show.
47:36Oh, we thought we were regular cut-ups, all right.
47:39From the show,
47:40we went to a house party
47:41with drinks and girls
47:42and, well, all that goes with it.
47:45That was the start of months of misery
47:47with patent medicines,
47:48quack doctors,
47:49and sleepless nights.
47:51Until finally,
47:52I came to my father for help.
47:55He had a competent physician treat me,
47:57and soon my health and spirits returned.
47:59And that's why I'm here tonight.
48:03Unashamed,
48:04spread the gospel
48:04for the benefit
48:06of the countless boys and girls
48:07who, like myself,
48:10indulged in supposedly innocent fun.
48:17Oh, what's the matter, Jerry?
48:33Can't you rest?
48:35I'm worried about you.
48:36And I hear you walking up and down.
48:40Oh, come to me, darling.
48:44Oh, we both need to see.
48:48I'll take him something for you.
49:11Is that you, dear?
49:14Yes, darling.
49:21Oh, it's been too much for me.
49:25What must you think of me?
49:28Your happiness is all that counts, darling.
49:32But all the pain,
49:34all the tragedy I've caused you,
49:38what must you think of me?
49:41More than ever, I think of you as my wife.
49:45And my darling, I need you so now.
49:50I want to see.
49:52I want you, dear.
49:58And for long, will you be together?
50:04Oh, love it.
50:06Forget it.
50:25Just a moment, please.
50:28New York calling.
50:29Here's your party.
50:31Hello?
50:34Millie?
50:35I couldn't keep the news to myself any longer.
50:38Guess what?
50:40I met him.
50:41I love him.
50:41Tonight he proposed.
50:44Oh, but you...
50:45Yes, I know.
50:47But I'm going to be all right.
50:49I've been to a real doctor.
50:51You had the right idea about those treatments.
50:54I laughed at you then.
50:56But I know better now.
50:58You mean...
50:59You are?
51:01Oh, that's...
51:02That's fine.
51:03And the doctor has been treating me for over a year now.
51:07Now only a year longer.
51:10But it's worth waiting for.
51:12And Millie...
51:14I can have a baby.
51:17Oh, I...
51:18I know you'll be very happy.
51:21Gee, I've got everything in the world to live for now.
51:25And just please, Millie.
51:27At one time I thought of committing suicide.
51:31Oh.
51:37What is it, dear?
51:38Oh, it's dear, and she's going to be married.
51:42Oh, darling, you're keeping me happy.
51:45We can, too.
51:46Oh, it's dear, and she's going to be married.
51:51Oh, it's dear, and she's going to be married.
51:53Oh, it's dear, and she's going to be married.
51:53Oh, it's dear, and she's going to be married.
51:54Oh, it's dear, and she's going to be married.
51:55Oh, it's dear, and she's going to be married.
51:56Oh, it's dear, and she's going to be married.
51:57Oh, it's dear, and she's going to be married.
