00:00The End
00:31Frankly, we don't quite know how to begin to tell you about the shop-worn angel.
00:35Ordinarily, we can drop pictures into a certain classification.
00:38But this one, we sincerely believe, can hardly be typed as just another dramatic or romantic offering.
00:45For it presents its theme under rather extraordinary circumstances.
00:49When a great nation was torn with hysteria and its people walked on the brink of emotional disaster.
00:54The locale of the shop-worn angel is New York.
00:57The time, 1917.
01:00Its character is a seasoned Manhattan cabaret singer who sacrificed her every ambition to give courage and hope to a
01:06young Texas cowboy.
01:07Who found in her the one dream he could make come true.
01:10In those precious few hours before he sailed into a conflict from which he might not return.
01:17You can't be unhappy, Bill.
01:19It'll be all right.
01:20You'll go on pretending.
01:21Pretend you're just going away for the weekend.
01:23You'll be right back.
01:24Just pretend, Bill.
01:25You're good at that.
01:26Dreaming's all right if that's all you got.
01:29But when you find the real thing, you're just not satisfied with it anymore.
01:35I want the real thing.
01:38You, Daisy.
01:39If I ever love you so much it becomes silly or embarrassing, you tell me about it, won't you?
01:44Mm-hmm.
01:45But I'll be lying if I do.
01:47Are you sure, Bill, you didn't just hook a ride with that dame?
01:53Daisy means an awful lot to me, and I've asked her to marry me.
01:57Why speak to me?
01:59Daisy, do you mind, sir?
02:00Yes, I do.
02:01Sam, I...
02:03You got your chin out, Daisy.
02:05Believe me, a way out.
02:07All right, maybe I have.
02:08What of it?
02:09You're going to make a fool out of him and make yourself look cheap.
02:11Whether I do or not, is it any of your business?
02:13Yes, it is some of my fault.
02:14Why?
02:15Because you don't love him.
02:27You're going to make a fool out of him and make a fool out of him and make a fool
02:32out of him and make a fool out of him and make a fool out of him and make a
02:41fool out of him and make a fool out of him and make a fool out of him and make
02:45a fool out of him and make a fool out of him.
02:45It never was just one soul pack of your trouble
02:51If you won't get back and fly, fly, fly
