 Lux presents Hollywood to Shirley Temple and Herbert Marshall in Kathleen with Francis Gipprich. Ladies and gentlemen your producer Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. When I first knew Shirley Temple she used to come over to my table at lunchtime in the studio restaurant and discuss the state of the world. Her world was concerned mostly with dolls and lollipops but that was one of the most valued friendships of my life. So with my own grandchildren at home my main claim to distinction was that I knew Shirley Temple. Brother's 1943 and Shirley has traded dolls for dates and since she's become a very lovely young lady the competition must be rather keen. Tonight she comes back to the Lux Radio Theater to co-star with Herbert Marshall in their Metro-Goldwyn-Mare success Kathleen. A very happy event for all her old friends and with Shirley and Bart we have Francis Gifford from the current Metro-Goldwyn-Mare hit Cry-Havoc. The older generation usually seems rather blind and blundering to the younger generation and in tonight's play Shirley undertakes to fix up a certain romantic situation that badly needs fixing. New Year's week is a fitting time to renew old acquaintances and the proper time for us to renew the resolve that we've made for some years past that the finest plays and pictures of the year will find their places on the schedule of this theater and that Lux Flakes will continue to present the stars you want to hear each Monday night. If you're a long-standing member of this audience you're probably also a long-standing Lux customer. If you're new with us there's no time like a new year to give Lux Flakes the only test that really counts and using it a very few minutes will cover the whole experiment. At a very few seconds we'll see the curtain rise now on Kathleen. Darring Shirley Temple as Kathleen and Herbert Marshall as John Davis with Francis Gifford as Angela. To write down for a day I will just say good night. Good night dear Dierie. P.S. I have got one thought. Mrs. Farrell is a meddling old ostrich. Written by Ms. Kathleen Davis age 15. Kathleen lives in the big house on the hill of Davis estate where for more than a year she and the housekeeper Mrs. Farrell have carried on a constant huge. Now on a certain Saturday afternoon Mrs. Farrell kneels on the floor outside of Kathleen's room. There's a sign on the door which says private but Mrs. Farrell ignoring the warning is tearing through the keyhole. Kathleen is right. Mrs. Farrell is a meddling old ostrich. No pain can work you peeking through my keyhole. You nasty little thing. What you mean jerking that door open like that. I might have fallen and hurt myself bad. Badly not bad. The adverb Mrs. Farrell not the adjective. I demand to know what you do every Saturday afternoon. Where do you go. Go ahead and demand. I won't tell. Well this Saturday you're in for a big surprise. I'll keep my eyes glued to the store. They look awfully silly. Now either you men your ways young lady or I'm going straight to your father really I certainly am. I'm going to tell him that I've been voted years of my life preparing for his motherless child. Stop calling me a motherless child. My mother died when I was born and I'm terribly sorry she did but I can't help it and I wish you'd please stop reminding me of it. After all my sacrifices who's sacrificing anything you've been getting a perfectly enormous salary. How do you find out about my salary you've been snooping and spying into my affairs. Oh no that's your trick I just guess and furthermore I'm going to tell him that you called me a meddling old ostrich I never told that to anybody you've been reading my diary if you were a nice girl with a nice clean mind you wouldn't keep a diary you get right out of my room please you you peeping Tom get out of the house this afternoon I'm going to Mr. Shoner again you remember my telling you about him a little old man who runs the second hand furniture store in the village he's a simple old soul but so very kind and what a relief it is to speak to someone who doesn't treat me like a child. I just want to catch a nice one for you. It's kind of him to send me this. Oh I told him and my mother all about how I come here every Saturday and what friends we are and daddy said any friend of my daughter is a friend of mine of course we don't have much Mr. Shoner but he's always glad to share with our friends your father I would like to meet sometime yes well I got out of the chocolate shall I sure oh my I wish Saturdays would come off me too but tell me your father he has he's been having good luck with the fishing oh yes this boat got most of the trial yesterday here in Long Island sound I always thought trout came from the mountain streams oh do they I mean through you but well yes I will oh we're running out of sugar I'll make a note to get some oh say that girl in the big house on the hill your rich friend how is she getting off well things have been pretty discouraging up there Mr. Shoner I'm glad you asked me about her she's been on my mind a lot like she still can't find a way to get out so you can bring her here no that Mrs. Farrell watches her like a hawk it'll never be any different up there get lean I think you're much too young to say never old like I am I don't say it but how can things get better her mother died when she was born they treat her like a child she still has her papa oh not really seeing him once a week maybe having him say oh hello there that's not really having a father not the kind I'd want that girl does she ever try to know her papa yes but it doesn't do any good some people maybe her father it's like they are shy he's not shy with his friends he's he's a regular man about town that girl in the hill has she an imagination oh about like mine why well if she imagines hard enough how things might be for a little while anyway that's how things are that would take a lot of imagining Mr. Shoner too much you see sometimes with me things aren't so good the mortgage looks bigger than usual more and more things in the store get more bitten so and what do I do what evenings I sit here I turn out all the lights the moon shines only on the nice things I've got and then I start the music box sit I listen I look and soon I'm handsome I'm rich even you know if you imagine hard enough there's no more second hand it's all antiques here if this music box to your friend will you maybe that's the way out of that big sad house she's always been looking for Mr. Shoner I think you must be the kindest man in the world but I can't take this from you you just said it helped you well I think she needs it more listen how sweet it plays you know when mother used to sing me to sleep her voice was as sweet as that sweeter the sweetest sound I ever heard she's pretty your mama huh oh yes beautiful and my father's quite handsome too oh he's such a darling can't seem to do enough for me you wouldn't believe the way your fuss is over Mr. Shoner you know I think I think he must love me very much well you're certainly weren't here a few minutes ago no I wasn't was I Mr. Farrell where were you out out where just out and how did you know I wasn't in this room a few minutes ago I locked the door and I put a sign on it do not disturb how did you get in here never you mind for your information breaking and entering is against the law and very close to burglary you haven't heard the last of this young lady what's that box you got there where'd you get it it's a box a very special and important and mysterious little box and it's not supposed to be open by anyone but me so please don't open it no one's going to open it good I just thought I'd warn you that's all don't you speak to me of that tone of voice young lady when your father comes home this evening I'm going to tell him how my father is he coming home he certainly is tonight Saturday yes and as soon as he does I'm going to tell him you sneak out of the house again my father's coming home my father's coming home I know just how we'll be Jarvis will knock on the door and say Miss Kathleen your father wishes to see you in the living room thank you Jarvis I'll say then I'll run down the stairs and no I'll walk very dignified just at first he won't see me I'll stand there looking at him and I'll think how nice and attractive he is and then I'll say hello father and he'll say oh hello there and then I'll say father I'd like to speak to you on a matter of great importance to us both very well but be brief casting you know my friends are waiting for me at the club as you were you have a friend waiting for you here I'm that friend oh yeah of course but you're a you're still a child you know I'm 15 in the stress I could pass for older yes that's true father let me read you the poem I wrote for you it will make everything clear oh very well go ahead it's called my heart cries out I don't ask for the moon above I just ask for your love you hardly know I'm alive yet to win your love I always drive you can hear the birds sing you can hear the bells ring so please don't be deaf and keep us apart listen to the cry of my heart well father fear is fear is Kathleen this isn't only a great poem it teaches me a great lesson darling I've been blind not really blind just yes blind and death of the cry of your heart oh when I realized I missed all these years I I can't hold you close him out oh it's so wonderful father Kathleen from now on we're going to see a lot more of each other we'll be real powers shall we but you have to go to the office every day and out every night I'll close the office I'll stay home money means nothing to me now your whole life matters oh father it's like a dream come true oh yes your father's downstairs miss Kathleen very well father I'm high what a pretty dress getting to be quite a lady of fashion aren't we oh do you like it father I'm so glad I wore it just come in here a moment Kathleen there's someone I want you to meet oh Lorraine this is Kathleen well here's the young lady I've been waiting to meet for ages how do you do how do you do miss Bennett charming I'm such a goose about remembering things your daddy told me how old you are but I went and forgot how old are you dear I was 15 last April oh my goodness you'll be a grown-up lady before you know it won't you I don't think it will take me by surprise miss Bennett Kathleen I'm a kind of sort of next door neighbor of yours spending the summer at the inn when your daddy goes to his old office you and I must have some fun shall we yes I'd enjoy having fun thank you what's that piece of paper you're carrying dear the latest watercolor portrait of your daddy no let me see this please it's just something why what have we here not a poem so it's not where it's a poem Johnny listen she has real talent please it's called my heart cries out I don't ask for the moon and verb I just ask for your love you give it to me give it to me and earth you thinking about that was very rude or she had no business reading it it's private I think you ought to apologize to miss Bennett then go to your room oh no darling no it was all my fault but I think I know Kathleen's secret I think she had a crush on someone who is it dear black evil or Robert Taylor I'll go to my room if you don't mind I think I don't what in the world was there to kill me Mrs. Farrell Mrs. Farrell what happened she hates me look at this thing look at it this battle did I hear a shot this box that there was a bomb in it bomb in this thing it exploded right in my hands she did it she planted the bomb come here Kathleen you wicked nasty little let me handle this here Kathleen I want an explanation well that's what she gets for snooping into my things look father it's printed all over personal private do not touch warning you see father never mind about that but that's the whole point was there some sort of gunpowder in this thing there were merely the insides and birthday party snacks no birthday party snappers ever made that much noise well there was a little fourth of July mixed in but she had no business Kathleen apologize to Mrs. Farrell at once father please I want you to apologize you hurt her in the first place no one ever got hurt from merely hearing something go pop and in the second place it serves her right oh Kathleen go to your room don't you even want to know my side of it I know this much my daughter did a cruel thing deliberately I'll decide in the morning what's to be done with you now go to your room very well father each other now I find that Kathleen's been bombing Mrs. Farrell and Farrell thinks that Kathleen she hates the child what am I going to do darling set your mind at rest I know just the man man the most wonderful doctor Dr. Montague Foster I've given the ring in the morning a doctor well what would I tell him that Kathleen set fire to the nurse and the nurse hates Kathleen what could the doctor do darling have him come and give her a thorough examination oh she's healthy enough oh but Johnny there's obviously something wrong as she wouldn't be planting bombs maybe it's a complex or vitamins whatever this is beyond me I tell you I don't know her at all she's complete stranger to me oh but darling every child is a complete stranger to every grown up now don't you worry maybe she needs vitamin b1 worst part but is Kathleen thinks I'm unfair she did label that thing private maybe I wasn't fair there's nothing seriously wrong with Kathleen is there doctor frankly there's nothing whatever wrong you mean not with her diet or anything no the difficulty is with the housekeeper the woman is obviously Kathleen's mental inferior well after last night I'd agreed she was anybody's inferior could you suggest anything doctor yes I can suggest a sort of companion for Kathleen a very remarkable woman Dr. Kent Dr. A. Martha Kent she took a doctorate in abnormal psychology Johnny that sounds ideal he's going to South America in the fall but since Kathleen's going to Fordon school September perhaps Dr. Kent might take the case for three months well let's get hold of her right away tell me they're going to bring in a lady doctor to take care of me a lady doctor Mrs. Farrell says she's coming to find out what makes me so much of a problem well from now on I'll be a real problem from now on it's Kathleen Davis against the world I'm sorry I'm late oh good evening it's quite all right uh you are Dr. Kent how do you do Mr. Davis how do you do you're so much expected so entirely different what did you expect well I'm not I'm not quite sure I'd have to see you anyway sit down well here's a comfortable chair thank you Dr. Foster's told me all about your very wonderful work and you to be willing to take a job of this kind needn't be great for Mr. Davis you're paying me very well I would like to ask you a few questions about Kathleen certainly glad to tell you anything well when she goes to bed does she go to sleep immediately all right I imagine so most kids do don't they I have no idea but I was a kid then I know nothing at all about her eating habits and she's been on sort of a hunger strike today hunger strike good grief what would you think of next it's an old device I used it myself when I was her age she'll even she's hungry enough is her principal meal in the middle of the day or at night well you see I go to the office every day and I'm not home for lunch but you do see her dinner don't you no no matter what I don't she eats none of her meals with her uh no no well not that I wouldn't like it but you you know how it is you get the laid at the office so she has all her meals with Mrs. um Mr. Farrell has Kathleen had a basic metabolism in the last two years I honestly don't know but I tell you what you ask Mrs. Farrell that's the best and she knows all her routine and all that by the way she's still here no she left early this morning a brief talk I had with her convinced me that she knew nothing at all about Kathleen except a great many things that aren't so after the show she put on last night I'm inclined to agree with you awful fool that woman so maybe your wives are after all and not knowing anything about Kathleen good night Mr. Davis when I've worked out a new plan for her I'll tell you why you can cooperate in it oh well thank you better show you where your things go one side is mine I'm glad you came Kathleen after seeing the do not disturb sign on your door I was afraid I'd have to wait until morning to put my things away well I might as well show you now after this when you want to be alone just close your door and I'll do the same that way it'll save us the trouble of putting up signs you mean if I feel like being by myself you won't bother me certainly not I like to be alone too once in a while oh all those shelves on that side they're uh rather personal things and not to be and which are my shelves both I'd better get my books put away right now could I could I help you busy oh no I haven't you quite a few this one looks interesting may I read it sometimes surely I'm very fond of reading me to why Angela but that's a beautiful name Angela why don't you use it it's a lot nicer than Martha I feel sort of silly being called Angela I'm not much of an angel it's not silly why it just suits you I'm going to call you Angela that is if you'll let me you couldn't manage Martha no oh all right then it's Angela thank you Angela oh and look I I'm sorry about that do not disturb signs that was for mrs ferrell not for you you you can come into my room anytime you want thank you Kathleen you're welcome Angela to the mill presents Shirley Temple Herbert Marshall and Francis Gifford enact three of Kathleen frankly now how do you feel when you're washing dishes like this dishes dishes dishes I could scream someday I'm going to throw them all away and use paper ones well why not now pretty drastic remedy here's another one that's easier on the temper and the dishes too reciting to yourself some poetry you've read I am drinking in the breeze I am sailing on the bay I am cutting snow white roses I am down cow cut away I am singing in the Argentine I am dancing in Bombay while my hands are doing dishes out here in Iowa dishwashing time is a wonderful time for letting your fancy run free building castles in the air at the same time if you're using luxe the dishes are getting done fast come clean and sparkling in no time besides those extra gentle suds are so kind your hands will stay soft and lovely with luxe in the dish pan many women have proved what a difference luxe makes Mrs. Minda Maitland wife of an aircraft worker says strong soaps made my hands so rough and red I was ashamed to have anyone see them simply changing to luxe took the redness all the way and Mrs. Muriel Doyle wife of the naval officer says George was amazed how my hands improved when I changed from strong soaps to luxe for dishes they're soft and lovely again you'll find luxe is thrifty too by actual test luxe does up to twice as many dishes as other well-known soaps that's important these days when nothing must be wasted use all the luxe you need to get rich suds but no more than you need we pause now for station identification this is the columbia broadcasting system Shirley Temple as Kathleen and Herbert Marshall as John with Francis Gifford as Angela Angela is an angel I like her so much and I think father must like it too Oh Dary wouldn't it be a wonderful thing no that would be asking too much but there's no harm in trying I think perhaps I'll go on a campaign to get well another Saturday has rolled around and Kathleen has been visiting Mr. Shawna at his door she used the laundry shoot to get out of the house but on her return she walked boldly in at the front gate to find Angela watching her from the porch hammock oh Angela hello I I was out so I see what what have you been doing all afternoon that's my secret oh I suppose you've been wondering where I've been no oh by the way you needn't use the laundry shoot anymore unless it's more fun than the stairs oh thanks it was getting to be a pretty tight squeeze you'd better go and get dressed we're having dinner with your father we are excited about what Kathleen what are you talking about told me how much you look forward to seeing him and all this week you said how nice it was having him home well I do love him of course because he's my father and it says in the bible you should honor your father well that isn't the reason you love him because the bible says so well pretty much nonsense you love him for himself but there isn't much about him that would make a person love him if he weren't person's father do you think so of course I do lots of things for instance well to begin with he's an extremely intelligent man well yeah yes I guess I guess he is pretty intelligent at that I wouldn't say he was very good looking though would you well I don't know what more you want in the way of good looks tall he has a good figure dressed as well as nice blue eyes perfect teeth and unusually attractive voice what do you want to color it yeah I see what you mean I guess he's not so bad after all Kathleen Davis are you kidding me give them time to get better acquainted they'll just talk and talk and after a while father will look at her and say may I sit here beside you doctor and she'll say please and then kind of charlie he'll say that's me and call you an angel yes I would like to call you an angel and well I'm just as glad you'll have a big day tomorrow tomorrow what's that what's doing you and your daughter are going out for the whole day alone well that sounds fine I'd like that but you see I won't be here I'm driving up a saber tonight I don't think you should go but people are expecting me after all I I have dined at home twice this week yes you really deserve a gold star on your report card for a big sacrifice like that I'm sorry I shouldn't have said that but honestly Mr. Davis after 15 years of giving Kathleen only the fringes of your mind and heart two dinners at home just don't let you out you know something you're absolutely right tomorrow we take on the picnic no you take it I'll beg off the last minute you do see some logic in this don't you want just playing along with the crack brain no I agree with you in fact I think you're wonderful it's as I said before since Kathleen has no mother you have to give her even more of yourself than most fathers yes I suppose in a way it was selfish enough to marry again what had been better for Kathleen I know that I didn't realize it before I I didn't think of that angle of it but I do see it now and pretty soon I may be able to set that right you're thinking of getting married well it all seems to tie in doesn't it well you're not just planning this for Kathleen's sake are you because that would be all wrong psychologically to be completely wrong oh don't don't worry I have far too much respect for marriage to well to use it to accompany something I don't mean to pry but do you plan on being married before Kathleen goes away to school oh it's not as definite as that I haven't asked her yet oh go around the sudden oh I see I'm the sort of them I'm the sort of person who has to be pretty sure of his ground I don't know whether she'd have me no I'll just have to wait and see what develops this time goes on watch and pray lady don't I you certainly do good for you you know you're you you're a very discerning little pigeon aren't you I'm 15 mr. Davis and I notice a great deal more than you think I do fun about our picnic because can't call each other miss call me Lorraine won't you are you are you coming certainly darling I just told you are you going to have hard-boiled eggs you suppose in their shells what do you think Kathleen I really don't know or cold chicken don't you love to eat cold chicken out of your fingers Kathleen well you you're a funny one Kathy now that your face to face with Lorraine you seem to have lost your tongue after all the wonderful things you've just said about her where's Angela my upstairs I imagine excuse me I've got to see her a minute Kathleen excuse me with us aren't you on the picnic no dear I have lost on a picnic with her Kathleen if your father are you going to let this woman interfere with our plans we have no plans for today I mean our plans for you to marry father Kathleen are you going to let her never any such plan don't you want to marry him I've never heard of this nonsense you said yourself he was good looking and intelligent if that's how you feel then you ought to marry him Kathleen I have known your father for one week less than a week six days I've known you for six days and I love you friendship like ours is different please answer my question do you or don't you want to marry my father your father and his guests are waiting well I won't have Lorraine for my mother what makes you think she's going to be your mother I can tell he has a kind of light in his eyes when he looks at her and seeing too many movies now go on you're supposed to be here to make me happy I don't notice you're doing much about it now where did you get the idea that my whole function here was to make you happy then what are you here for Kathleen the sooner you grasp the fact that the world is not revolved around you the better offer your father has his life I have mine and miss miss what's the name has her I wouldn't give you a nickel for hers will you please stop talking and go get dressed for the picnic why because I say so very well Angela Johnny we voted not to mention the salt again or the milk now just for that he must pay a forfeit mustn't be Kathleen all right I deserve it what shall we make him do say the alphabet backwards does he have to oh she can't be cross with her daddy even in fun I know what to pay a forfeit we'll make him kiss us both oh that's not a forfeit that's a privilege would you like to wear for dinner tonight to get ready for bed and I'll go down and explain to your father oh Angela what can we do get into bed darling I'll bring you something that you're wonderful wonderful day pretty exciting I'd say no please come in Lorraine this is dr. Kent this is Kathleen's adored dr. Kent I'm so glad to meet you thank you mr. Davis today's been rather strenuous for Kathleen she's over tired and over excited so she's going to bed right away oh I'm sorry nothing really serious oh no she's not ill why the poor lamb that's strange though she was sunny and charming on the picnic wasn't she darling I thought she was but um I understand that you know just all there is to know about adolescents dr. Kent you go from place to place looking after difficult cases isn't that it no I took my phd in abnormal psychology in June but I'll be with Kathleen only until September that I'm going on to Buenos Aires Buenos Aires Johnny that's the place Binky and Helen went on their honeymoon miss Bennett and I have decided to get married in the fall dr. Kent oh see I've made quite a little headway since our since our talk the other last night yes congratulations I hope you'll be very happy I can't wait to see Kathleen's face when we tell her darling let's go up to her room now oh please don't she really is quite worn out any more excitement would be bad for her well tomorrow I think it would be wise to prepare Kathleen for the news well I imagine she's half-guessed that I gave her a hint this morning about how I felt and she seemed very pleased which is very keen about Lorraine I still think though it would be better not to tell her in so many words until she's grown used to the idea whatever you say dr. Kent really must go now good night good night good night Johnny did you discuss proposing to me with her don't you think I should have been the first to know or it was only in connection with Kathleen planning Kathleen's future oh the doctor's a pretty little thing isn't she yeah she is rather very bright too abnormal psychology did you sort of give you the creeps was I right do you want some supper angel don't change the subject what do you think of miss Lorraine bat your lashes Bennett Kathleen I met miss Bennett very casually she's very good looking and she dresses very well outside of that I know nothing about now would you like some supper after what I've been through today the thought of food seconds me very well then good night I bet you ten dollars you don't like her either good night Kathleen miss Lorraine Bennett money that's all she's after I bet money I wish I had a lot of money I could take care of everything all of our only rich an actress maybe I'm Broadway I'd know how to handle her I'd get her to come to my dressing room some night after the show I'd be taking off my makeup and she'd walk in the door you meant for me I did please sit down miss Bennett I'm going to speak very frankly to you woman to woman in my opinion you're only interested in my father's money how dare you don't act please miss Bennett it so happens that I am now independently wealthy I'm prepared to offer you the sum of one hundred thousand dollars to give up my father you're very shrewd in my profession one has to be well I take it very well here thank you officer do your duty this money is marked oh the rain Bennett I arrest you in the name of the law for accepting the sum of a hundred thousand dollars as a bribe on the promise you would give up one john starvin davis forever no it isn't true oh now you know look at me forgive me father oh my darling Kathleen you've opened my eyes I want a wife if you want a mother and as my wife and as your mother we want someone lovely looking and intelligent and uh and a good sport nothing will help nothing at all Shirley Temple Herbert Marshall and Francis Gifford back to the microphone we're act three of Kathleen now we have a real life story for you about 14 year old Marilyn Fisher of Brooklyn New York Marilyn's mother Mrs. Mary Fisher wrote us a couple of years ago we joined a night skating club here in Brooklyn it was lots of fun but all the costumes so expensive I couldn't afford to buy Marilyn the kind the other girls had so I decided to knit her one but when it came time to have it cleaned oh mom can they have my dress for Saturday from Cambay oh you didn't even leave it well I'm sorry dear but it just would have cost too much but I think we can have it spick and fan for you by Saturday we'll luxe it I've always used luck flakes for your sweaters and other knit things so you know to come out real nice oh let's try it right away so we did luxe the dress and it came out beautifully in fact I knit Marilyn another one and we've luxe both dresses ever since and let me tell you they're just as pretty now as when I knit them luxe is so thrifty too every time we luxe a dress or a sweater we drop the money we save in a small bank and pretty soon we'll have enough to buy Marilyn a pair of brand new figure skates yes that's a true luck story just one of the many ways in which luxe helped women day after day remember the famous luxe promise anything safe in water is safe in luxe that's a promise women know they can depend on when you stick to luxe flakes you know your washables are safe if your dealer is out of luxe try again soon more is on the way remember luxe is worth waiting for now our producer mr. de mill vod marshal and I will try to coax a few secrets from Shirley temple after the play now here's the third act of Kathleen starring Shirley temple and Herbert marshal with Francis Gippard miss Kathleen Gifford she seems very sure of herself in the role of Cupid and she's determined that her father shall marry Angela now she's going to enlist the aid of mr.

Kathleen would like to have me with her permanently well what's so absurd about that I've had the same idea myself but she's been planning I'm afraid she's booked out some sort of a campaign to well you see a girl of that age doesn't realize hold on now look here why why wouldn't this solve everything Lorraine and I are planning a pretty long pretty long wedding trip and later in the winter we may go down to find her for some golf we'll be away a lot it'll be dreary for her to come home from school for an empty house yes that would be dreary so how about this you give up that South American business and stay on here oh I know it'll mean a sacrifice for you but I'd be willing you know what I think of your offer Mr. Davis I think it's disgusting disgusting bringing a child into the world carry some responsibility with it you've never grasped that way believe me I feel a great sense of responsibility indeed you do but not enough to alter one single plan of yours not enough to make the smallest sacrifice of your own pleasure and convenience not enough to be more than a bit surprised when you learn that your daughter loves the woman you're going to marry aren't you being a little hysterical no I'm not that magnificent offer of yours makes me so mad I'm telling you the truth when I asked you to stay on I was thinking only of caffeine oh no you were thinking how dandy it would be to hand your responsibility over to me well thanks very much Mr. Davis but I have a life of my own to leave you can't poist your daughter off on me you don't want her that's obvious or maybe I don't want her either and here's one big difference between us I don't have to have her she's not my child she's not the moment Catherine Catherine come here dear I listen I was looking for you excuse me but Catherine wait Catherine it's time I shall ever write in this book I'm leaving you tonight for Philadelphia Mr. Schoner will take me in at least until I can make plans he's the only friend I have now the only friend I have in the whole world he cleans run away run away this was in her room this note I'll get the car now you'd better call the police it's had an hour's head start right there's no use worrying why don't they call me it's been hours not a word if you'd only got the car out right away when you wanted to why don't we do it now John police want him here where they can reach you miss Bennett she has some money suppose she's on a train darling do sit down you'll exhaust yourself by the way are we quite sure she's run away there was a note to Angela to Dr. Kent oh exactly what did she say in the note doctor that she was unhappy she felt she wasn't wanted but why should she have felt that she overheard a conversation between her father and me this evening out in the garden may I see the note I gave it to the police well what was it she said Kathleen was very upset at the thought of her father's remarriage well she couldn't have been she didn't even know her own mother she was very fond of me why why do you say was but I didn't mean was I mean is of course I mean is she is very fond of me nobody would have cut her Angela you don't think I mean you do think she's all right don't you of course where did you get the idea that she objected to our marriage she told me that was the reason for running away the marriage and my leave oh John it isn't true oh it's true all right Angela what has she got on the train even before we gave the alarm she could have got off somewhere along the line before they began to watch don't be absurd John a young girl alone at night she'd be noticed right away yes of course hello yeah yeah you're speaking oh oh no word well yes I'll be here thank you nothing but a sign of her I'd still like to know the contents of the note she left you can probably get it from the police I remember what it said Lorraine she told Angela all she hoped and prayed for would never come true but you and I were going right ahead and be married and just what was it she hoped and prayed for does that matter now it was something I was going to tell you later on well just the same I thought seems rather unimportant at this moment Dr Kent I suppose you've discussed all this matter with Kathleen her dislike for me yes it did ever occur to you to try to overcome it miss Bennett I can't go into that now oh yes you can very well her dislikes for you apparently start at the first station and her dislike for me suited you perfectly didn't it it fitted right in with your plans to reach John through his daughter Lorraine be quiet don't you see John are you blind this woman is trying to I said be quiet Kathleen is lost my daughter is lost for all we know she may be sick hurt I can't quite see that this is any moment for petty arguments for rain petty arguments if you don't mind I prefer not to discuss it any further I should like to go home please I can't leave the phone now you know that then I'll drive myself I'd expect to hear from you in the morning John the cars at the door thank you but can it move on we got half a truck pull down low jet okay give me a hand but it's death yeah yeah we get a hurry hey look what's the matter holy smokes there's a girl in the end of back of the truck we moved her all the way from Long Island well good morning will you help me down please is mr shawner here mr shawner yes Kathleen oh mr shawner Kathleen how did you get here we didn't have nothing to do with it it ain't our fault I didn't even know she was in there all the way through to Philadelphia I had to mr shawner I didn't dare take the train so I hid in the truck last night let me stay with you for a while please mr shawner please here here you will won't you but I tell me your papa don't know where you are

now and we talk later I'm afraid I don't what tell me is she all right it's all right Angela she's safe hello give me the address Philadelphia yes I'm oh she's safe she'd be worried he doesn't care whether I'm alive or dead as long as he has his Lorraine he'd rather I were dead oh could you stay here with me for a little while till you got happier in your mind but he's coming to get me yeah three hours you finish sleep now they'll be here any minute they're in Lorraine well he said we start right now father Lorraine I'll run away again because it is cruel and my friend is never cruel she feels for other people bring me to death mother Lorraine why couldn't it be and the door should open and it wasn't Lorraine just suppose it was angel and father and they come over to the bed and father would be kind and understanding and I'm angry at all you'd have more reason to be angry with me father are you all right darling it's not dream darling we're here it is real because if I was making this up you'd be kissing each other I think we can take care of that too you mean Angela and you I mean Angela and me and it's very real darling oh oh come on now sweet get your thing the family is going home the family oh japer oh next to me said oh darn as she dropped a penny so she stooped and as she bent her knee to save a penny she'd ruined a pair of stockings worth over a dollar but it was her own fault for only a penny she could have lux those stockings four times and they wouldn't have popped so easily in the run yes strain tests made by a famous laboratory prove that luxing cut down runs by more than 50 percent isn't it worthwhile to cut down runs yes maybe cut them in half by luxing stockings every night use lux flakes for your stuff don't waste lux of course use all you need to get rich subs but no more than you need a little lux goes so far it's thrifty and it saved many and many a penny now here's mr. de mill with our star it's always a very happy moment in
