Lady of the Night
1
"Thought I'd name
the baby Molly --"
2
"-- Twenty years in
the penitentiary --"
3
"Pretty soft for your
kid, but what about
mine?"
4
After eighteen
years --
5
Commencement day
for Florence Banning,
motherless daughter of
the judge --
- Norma Shearer
6
Molly Helmer, daughter
of the convict, now an
orphan, also graduates --
- Norma Shearer
7
"Well -- what are we
going to do now?"
8
"I'll bite -- what are
we going to do?"
9
"See you at Kelly's."
10
Jimmy Kelly's Palais
de Danse --
11
"That's Molly Helmer.
She's 'Chunky' Dunn's
girl."
12
"Chunky" Dunn, a prince
of fashion --
- George K. Arthur
13
"My gawd, dearie, how
them egrettes do
stand up!"
14
"We gotta go. We're
dated with some
jolly undertakers
from Schenectady."
15
"Yeh, they dance round
on your feet half the
night and then crave
affection."
16
"Florence is lovely. I wish
her mother could see her
tonight."
17
"Thally's in the cothy
corner with Tham."
18
"But she doesn't seem
to mind it --"
19
"Say, what do you
mean pulling that
cheek-to-cheek stuff
in public?"
20
"Well, we licked
him."
21
"Molly, meet my friend,
Dave Page."
22
"Schenectady."
23
He was coming
to dinner!
24
"Gosh, my dogs hurt!"
25
"Stop walking back
from auto rides."
26
"Lookit all the implements!
Swell company tonight?"
27
"I'll help you, Molly."
28
"Well, ta, ta, dearie -
we're entertaining
some shy sheiks
from Cheyenne."
29
"I hope one of them's
a shyropodist."
30
David Page had a
workshop in the
neighborhood of the
dance-hall.
31
"Sorry I'm late
for dinner."
32
"I've got great
news --!"
33
"I have an invention
that will open any
safe in the world."
34
"I know a gang
of crooks that'll
buy it."
35
"No, David!"
36
"Don't go crooked.
It don't pay."
37
"If crooks can use it to
get in safes -- can't
bankers use it to keep
them out?"
38
"Bankers will steal it.
Crooks will be on the
level with you."
39
"No, I've had dinner."
40
David follows Molly's
advice.
41
"You see, Judge Banning,
the vital principle lies
in the super-sensitized
magnet --"
42
"All right, young man,
we will draw up the
contract."
43
"My daughter, Florence
-- Mr. Page."
44
"Well, dear, what
did you want?"
45
"I've forgotten --"
46
"Girls, I just met the
thrillingest man!"
47
"Ithn't he perfectly
dithlocating?"
48
"What you made
up for?"
49
"A lady."
50
"Nothing like it."
51
"You don't look like
the Prince of Wales
yourself."
52
"A lady and the
Prince of Wales."
53
"I wonder if it's hard
to be respectable?"
54
"It takes a lot of
money."
55
"Come on, Molly, let's get
out of this -- let's go
out West in the wide
open spaces --"
56
"I may be a millionaire
some day."
57
"I'll marry you if
you want me to."
58
"Don't be so reckless."
59
"It's that Dave guy."
60
"Watch him give you
the gate after he
sells that invention."
61
"He won't! He won't!"
62
"The Security Bank
has accepted it."
63
"-- well, I'll tell you -- I
showed the blue-prints to
Judge Banning and the
other bank directors --"
64
"-- and then his
daughter came
in --"
65
"-- and then he told
me he would fix up
the contract --"
66
"Is she pretty?"
67
"The judge's
daughter?"
68
"Let's celebrate!"
69
"To Dave's success
with the upper
crust!"
70
In selling his invention,
David also sold himself
to the Bannings - -
especially to Florence.
71
"Vile stuff -- I never
use it."
72
"In my day, girls didn't
go to dances with
strange young men,
alone."
73
"You never married,
did you, Auntie?"
74
"No style, no style!"
75
"You fix these. I want
to look like that Wales
guy."
76
"You know I don't
approve of Florence
going out without
a chaperone, Mr.
Page."
77
"But my car holds
only two."
78
"Isn't it thrilling to
be a successful
inventor?"
79
"Would you let a mere
woman come and see
your workshop?"
80
"Will you?"
81
"I've turned my invention
over to your father, but
I'd love to have you see
my workshop."
82
His workshop!
83
"It's my fault. I'm
wicked -- wicked!"
84
"I love you, Florence
-- I love you."
85
"Take me home!"
86
"You will come to the
shop tomorrow?"
87
"I'll come - if -"
88
Two women of two
worlds send forth
their prayers --
89
"I'm worried about
Florence. She's
seeing too much of
that young Page."
90
"He seems to be
a decent sort."
91
"But Florence is so young.
Last night she went to
the dance with him, and
tonight she's meeting him
again."
92
"Perhaps you're right.
I'll speak to her when
she comes in."
93
"Is this my answer?"
94
"Yes -- David."
95
"Oh, excuse me --"
96
"Miss Banning, this
is Molly."
97
"Thought you might be
going to Kelly's --"
98
"But I guess you
ain't."
99
"Molly's a great girl
and I owe everything
to her --"
100
"It was through her
that I met you."
101
"She loves you, David.
I could see it in her
face."
102
"Why, Molly's been in
love with 'Chunky'
Dunn for years."
103
"A woman knows,
David."
104
"Molly's a good little pal,
but I never loved her."
105
"I love you, David.
Nothing can change
that --"
106
"But Molly has a
greater claim."
107
"Gee, this is a swell
car, ain't it?"
108
"You'd marry David
if it wasn't for me,
wouldn't you?"
109
"Please marry him,
and make him
happy."
110
"But what about
you?"
111
"There's 'Chunky' --
we've been in love
for years!"
112
"You been hanging
around here long
enough breaking
that kid's heart."
113
"Well, I'm looking after
her. You marry her
-- or get out!"
114
"Why didn't you meet
me at Kelly's?"
115
"I've been on a
little --"
116
"-- joy-ride."
117
"Well, David, you're
the first to know
it --"
118
"-- 'Chunky' and I are
going to get hitched
and then do a covered
wagon."
119
"Don't be previous!"
120
"She thinks we're
married already."
121
"Pack your things,
Molly -- we're
going West."
122
"Molly is going to
marry 'Chunky'."
123
"-- so you see
I was right."
124
"Yes, dear, you
were right."
125
"The great open
spaces --"
126
"Well, at least there'll
be a lotta laughs."
