 Pamalec soap your beauty hope and luster cream shampoo for soft glamour as caressible hair bring you our miss brook starring Eva Arden Most people a warm May day suggests a dive in the country or a leisurely picnic But to our miss Brooks who teaches English at Madison High School. It has a far different significance Yes, indeed to me a warm May day means just one thing. Mr. Conklin our beloved principal is putting the heat on Some people feel that mr. Conklin makes the teachers miserable because of his thoughtlessness. I don't agree You can't make so many so miserable so often without giving it plenty of thought Perhaps I'm being too harsh in my judgment a principal's life can't be all a bed of roses either There must be many nights which he spends tossing and turning in his bed until the wee small hours Hoping planning thinking saying to himself. What can I do to them this week? During a free period last Friday morning. He has nocturnal effort seemed to have borne fruit He started an impromptu quiz without prizes miss Brooks. Uh-huh. Oh Yes, mr. Conklin conjugate the verb strive, please strive Strive strove striven now thrive thrive throw thriven. Oh, no Really, mr. Conklin these sudden little tests are quite disconcerting. I don't silence. We're not finished. Yes, sir More verbs five five five four Five isn't a verb. Thank you, mr. Brooks I knew my visit to your room would produce some valuable bit of information Now my main reason for dropping in however it was to ask you to do me a favor miss Brooks As you know Sunday is mother's day. Yes. I know mr. Conklin thanks to a special savings plan I started in February. I was able to send my mother a card this morning But what did you want me to do for you? I'd like you to take this package home with you and keep it until Sunday morning It's a little mother's day remembrance for mrs. Conklin, and I don't want her to stumble upon it before time Wonderful woman mrs. Conklin, and she's trained our daughter Harriet to be a duplicate of herself really yes Yes between them. They're the two biggest snoopers in the county That makes it unanimous, I mean I'll be happy to keep the package for you Thank you, mr. Brooks. I hope my daughter Harriet remembers mother's day lately She's had her mind on nothing but that moronic manager of the baseball team Walter Denton Walter isn't so bad mr. Conklin. Of course. He's not a brilliant student brilliant Walter Denton is Madison's gift to sub normality Thing that annoys me most is the way he bounces never goes anywhere. You always bounces there I am his Brooks. I just thought I'd bounce in for a minute Well, if it isn't the human handball If I'm interrupting anything I'll just bounce along you know Walter mr. Conklin was about to dribble back to his office That is you were finished with me weren't you mr. Conklin quite good morning, mr. Brooks. Goodbye mr. Conklin I still a vista mr. Conklin. I learned that in Spanish. It means see you later. Oh Well, no syllabus a usted primero How does that mean mr. Brooks that means not if I see you first What can I do for you Walter? Well, I need some advice mr. Brooks and as is my won't when I want advice I've hired myself to my favorite English teacher for that matter my favorite any kind of teacher Are you sure it's only advice you want? Oh sure mr. Brooks It's about a mother's day gift, but a very special type of mother mr. Brooks. That is I Know it's impossible right now, but just for supposition sake Suppose you woke up one day and found yourself a mother. I have a mother or she's miles away I Didn't mean it that way. I mean if you awoke to find that you were a mother now What would your first question be? What did it weigh dark? Are you quite certain you wouldn't say how is my husband not me I might say who is my My dad told me that was my mother's first concern after she knew that I was alright You know she thinks of us constantly and never of herself, but me what do I do in return? I don't get out of bed when she wakes me. I leave my clothes all over the house Sunday's mother's day mr. Brooks, and I've got to make it up to her. Well, that's pretty short notice Walter But I have a suggestion for you. You have yes Sunday morning Wait till your mother starts to make breakfast when you're sure she's in the kitchen close the door quietly behind her Then then gather up all the clothes that you've scattered around the house Then then put them in a big suitcase, then then run away from home I'm just teasing you Walter There's only one way you can make your mother happy and that's by turning over a new leaf Well, I'll try mr. Brooks, but meanwhile not just supposing again Oh, what kind of a present would you like if you were a mother? Oh, I wouldn't care much about presents, Walter I'd just be happy if I had all my beloved children around me gee Well, of course, my mother only has this one beloved child But it is a lovely sentiment However, I'd still like to figure out a little gift of some sort. What would make a young mother like yourself happy a young father like mr. Boynton Which reminds me Walter It's time for me to get down to his laboratory and pick him up for lunch Oh, did he invite you for lunch today? Of course he did about 10 minutes from now Kind of a gift she'd like I couldn't find out a thing Harriet, but we've got to get her something What's the good of naming miss Brooks our mother away from mother if we can't surprise her with something she won't Gee, I'm sorry Harriet But all she'd say was that she'd be happy with all her beloved children around her and she was kidding of course. I hope She wasn't kidding she meant up. Oh now let's see We'll organize a committee to pick out a gift and give it to miss Brock great Harriet Then tonight will officially become mother away from mother's day night Now that we're finished with lunch miss Brooks, I I've got a surprise for you surprise. What is it mr. Boynton? Yes, you're picking up both checks. No I'm picking up both checks. No, and I give up miss Brooks. I want you to meet my folks Why mr. Boynton, you've only known me for five years. This is so sudden. I Just found out they were coming to town myself You see they usually spend mother's day with my married brother, but mom decided this year It's my turn to do what oh your turn to spend mother's day That's right. Yeah, you'll love my mother miss Brooks She used to be a school teacher too You know as a matter of fact she worked herself up until she was a principal you got to get pretty worked up to be a principal oh I'm sure we'll get along splendidly and you'll be crazy about my dad Oh, what a sense of humor. He's got he's the one who told me the joke about the quiz master who called out I've got a lady doctor, but before he could ask her any questions She stuck a thermometer in his mouth and took his pulse isn't that a scream? Father sounds like more fun than a barrel of nothing May I ask you a rather personal question about your folks certainly miss Brooks. What is it? How long did they go around together before they were married nine years Believed in long engagements in those days, I guess. Oh, they weren't engaged until six weeks before the wedding six weeks Once dad makes up his mind about something. He's greased lightning Could have used a little greasing the first eight years I Certainly be looking forward to seeing them mr. Boyden when are they arriving in town? Oh this afternoon miss Brooks I'll have to check them into a hotel for the weekend. I've just got a small bachelor apartment. Yes. I know you've told me about it Maybe you'd like to drop over to my place tonight. I'm sure my landlady Mrs. Davis wouldn't mind my dusting the living room a little oh, that's just fine with me miss Brooks I don't give my folks a chance to rest up in their trip and have some dinner before they Before they meet the girl about whom I've well, they've heard so much Mr. Boyden you mean you actually wrote to your folks about me and how miss Brooks I've written them many times about how gay and youthful and exuberant you are I am you I mean do you have? Right I remember in one of my most recent letters to them I said you were more like a pupil than a teacher in fact I think that was a letter in which I described you as a great big overgrown kid Maybe I better take something You should have seen the answer I got from dad. He said whatever you do son don't rob the cradle He was justing of course he loves youngsters mr. Boyden you've given me an idea What kind of an idea miss Brooks if your father turns me down when I ask him for your hand, maybe he'll adopt me Just a moment, but first here is Vern Smith.

Conklin's gift to his wife on my dresser Then I started to make myself on the house as presentable as possible before mr. Boynton's parents came over that evening First of all, I shampooed my hair and set it in pin curl Then I put on an old oversized house dress which I borrowed from mrs. Davis This intriguing combination achieved the happy effect of making me look like a pat rack drowning in a quonset Then I went into the living room to get things in order when I got there mrs. Davis had just finished vacuuming Oh, honey, will you pull the plug out for me? My back's been bothering me lately. Oh, certainly mrs. Davis there Say this vacuum cleaner is pretty old isn't it? Yes indeed, but it's held up remarkably well I bought it in 1932 1932 yes, this Hoover came in when the other one went out Just other place looks nice and neat for tonight, you know, I've never met mr. Boynton's parents before I know you haven't Connie and First impressions are so important. Mm-hmm. That's why I sent our sofa and all the chairs out to be recovered Every chair in the house is at the upholsterers Connie But don't worry stretch snodgrass took them down for me and he promised to bring them back by six o'clock stretch Snodgrass look mrs. Davis stretch may be a fine athlete, but when it comes to mentality He's strictly a third strike why he's liable to forget where he took the chairs Oh, I don't think so Connie You know how absent-minded I am and even I couldn't forget the name of this upholsterer Why not because he has a very odd name. What is it? What is what? I Name The upholsterer upholsterer yes, look mrs. Davis the sofa and all our chairs are being recovered today Well, they can certainly use it Where did you send them Connie? Fellow with a very odd name I never can remember it. I'm sure it'll come back to you later Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get out and back and look for our cat. Minerva. Is she missing again? Mm-hmm. She had a date this morning a date. Yes. I heard her making it last night But she should be back by now she knows how I worry about her Well, you let me know she comes in the front way Connie and I'll take a look back here. All right, mrs. Davis That's funny. Minerva never bothered to ring before How do you do my dear, how do you do I'm Philip's mother Philip yes, Philip Boynton. I'm mrs. Boynton, but that's impossible. You won't be here till tonight Well, I mean come in mrs. Boynton You don't have to tell me who you are my dear Philip has written so much about you. He has yes He says mrs. Brooks would know what to do without you mrs. Davis mrs. Davis Mrs. Davis That's mrs. Davis mrs. Boynton. I miss Brooks such as I am We've got company mrs. Davis Yeah, she's right here in the living room Cat and get under the oh no you'll have to forgive me mrs. Boynton I didn't expect you until after dinner. Oh, well, that's perfectly all right mrs. Brooks as a matter of fact I owe you an apology for not recognizing you, but it was rather dim in here not dim enough But where's mr. Boynton or should I say where are mr. Boynton or mr. Boynton? Well, they had a little trouble parking the car and I wanted to meet you myself first anyway Phillips written so much about you You must see an awful lot of each other. Well, we do teach at the same school I understand you were a teacher at one time mrs. Boynton. Yes indeed for many years. It's remarkable You still look so well-fed May we come in? Oh, it's the boys. Hello Philip my dear. Hello mom. Well, I see you two have met. Yes, indeed We're old friends by now. Well, here she is dad. He slipped me five my dear. Five what? Oh fingers How do you do mr. Boynton? Well, I do pretty well for an old codger. Old codger? A codger that time didn't I? He's hot stuff all right Phil's written is all about you my dear. I hear you're just like a mother to miss Brooks mrs. Davis. This house dress has got to go This isn't mrs. Davis Harvey it isn't of course not dad. This is mrs. Brooks Why are we all standing out here in the hall? Yes, let's all go in and stand in the living room Mrs. Boynton if you just come over to this lamp that's a very comfortable place to stand Mr. Boynton you stand over there by the piano I don't understand miss Brooks. We're all the chairs. They're out being recovered I didn't expect you for hours yet. Mr. Boynton. This is a terrible thing to do to anybody I'm sorry miss Brooks, but it couldn't be helped. You see there was a convention in town I couldn't get the folks accommodations anywhere. You know how big my room is and well I wondered if you and mrs. Davis could put the folks up for the weekend Why Philip I'm surprised at you. You know better than to whisper in front of others Oh, I'm sorry mother. I was just explaining our predicament to miss Brooks She was saying how delighted she'd be to have you stay for a couple of days Well, now that's what I call whopping hospitality It's a whopper all right I wish you'd give me a hand with the garbage Connie. I just can't Oh, I beg your pardon. Uh, this is mr. And mrs. Boynton and this contrary to popular opinion is mrs. Davis How do you do? Hello mrs. Davis. Good afternoon mrs. D. Nice little place you've got here I just invited the folks to spend the weekend with us mrs. Davis If you don't mind my doubling up with you. I figured they could have my room. That's perfectly all right Oh, dear the upholster You folks must be tired after your trip Why don't you go to bed? It's only 430 in the afternoon. Oh mrs. Davis was only kidding mrs. Boynton. She's got quite a sense of humor too Oh, just remember one thing mrs. Davis. You can't kid a kidder kiddo Doesn't he get off some cracks mrs. Davis? Yes, he's a jim dandy Now if you folks will just follow me. I'll show you to your room or rather mrs. Brooks's room Well, I could do with a bit of freshening up at that. Oh nonsense mother. You're as fresh as the day I got you Get it out dad. Oh, whatever he gets some of his ideas. He's terribly original. Don't you think mrs. Brooks? Oh a second oscar hammerstein mrs. Boynton or to put it another way the corn is as high as the elephant's eye Comfortable room Harvey. Yes indeed. That's Shawn a little cat naps just what the doctor ordered Tell me howdy. What do you think of mrs. Brooks? Well, it's hard to tell on that outfit she had on but once she combs her hair and climbs out of that gunny sack I'll bet she's a looker. Yes, but what is she looking for? Oh now mother you think that every girl who meets him immediately sets her cap for philip Hey, what's this package on the dresser here says uh for mother? Must be for you. Oh, wasn't that thoughtful of mrs. Brooks. She got a mother's day gift for me when she heard I was coming I'm going to open it right now. Oh, but mother's day isn't until sunday. Well, you know, I'd never have the patience to wait Let's see A black sheer negligee Well, happy mother's day For this car Hey, look, look this card fell out when you opened the package. It says for baby from her goodie Well So it belongs to mrs. Brooks Harvey, you don't think that philip. Oh, certainly not. He wouldn't have nerve enough to ask for that in the store Well, I'm going to find out just where this came from Would you can hear a moment, please? Certainly mrs. Boyman. What can I do for you? Well, I opened the package by mistake and found this inside of it A black sheer negligee it was a card with it that said for baby from goodie Goodie. Oh, that must be short for us good. Well, of course that was mr. Conklin's gift Mr. Conklin the principal of madison high. Yes, isn't he a devil? He asked me to keep it for him so his wife wouldn't discover it before mother's day Oh, it's for his wife Yes, who did you think it was for? Don't answer that I can tell from the position of your eyebrows my eyebrows. Yes, mrs. Boyman. You'd better drop them a notch. You're pushing back your hair net It certainly was nice of you to invite us all to dinner mrs. Davis. Yes, indeed. It's delicious too Thank you both of you, but mrs. Brooks is the one who deserves the credit. She prepared it all Oh, come now mrs. Davis you opened every bit as much as I did It's beef stew, isn't it? There's beef represented in it. Yes Eat it slowly Philip. Yes, mother. They say your stomach has no teeth But maybe it's just as well. If it got too hungry it could chew off your suspender buttons It's me when I've got a mouthful Yeah, there's nothing but a great big overgrown kid No, that's funny. That's the same phrase that Philip used in describing you in one of his letters Well, she is mother you ought to see her around the school. Why the students just treat her like one of themselves Oh, yes, indeed. We kids have some great old times together. Oh, I'm glad I like Philip to have lots of useful friends The younger the better.
