Since we're in Nashville, and this is kind of a tradition that I do when I speak at word camps, I'll go with, um, That's all I got. Okay. I'm out. I do travel with the harmonica because why not? It's so small. All right. Want a clicker? Clicker work? Sweet. Hi. Oh, hit play. Yeah. There we go. Sweet. Now I'm out. Okay. Uh, quick survey. How many people have a website? Okay, other way around. How many people have no website? No judgment. No, I'm kidding. It's totally fine. My dad has no website. He's 88 years old. He'll never have one. So that's fine. Last time you updated a website, Gutenberg aside, let's say this week didn't happen. When's the last time you actually updated your site? Well, last, I should stand here. Shouldn't I'm sorry. And hello to the stream, by the way. Hi, everybody. All right. So how often do you really back up your site and update it? Anyone do it consistently besides me? Am I the only people do? Cool. Those who don't? Total shame. No, I'm kidding. It's okay. All right. So I just wanted that information because I just needed some information from you for later.  Send those in, please. And just last four socials. All right. So the old way of websites were this. Static, HTML, tables and frames. Who remembers tables and frames? All right. Who still uses them? All right. As always, yeah. Of course. Yes, you do. I saw you yesterday. And truly custom-coded. Every site was custom-coded, hard-coded. This still does actually happen not in a good way sometimes. It's unfortunate. And this was the old sites. Remember this one? Right? That was awesome. Here's one more. Who remembers Ask Jeeves? All right. Who does not remember Ask Jeeves? You're under 20. Right? Okay. New websites. Of course, they are CMS database-driven. We all know CMS stands for, I really hope, by now. If you don't, also no judgment. Optimize for speed. And they're easily updated and maintained. I say easily because easy is relative term. What's easy for you may not be relatively easy for my father. I use him because he's old and not here. All right. And of course, new sites. This is a WordPress site. It's a Sweden website. Here's one also in WordPress. Really pretty. A lot of use of white space, empty space called CanYouStartYesterday.com. It's a fabulous site. Full disclosure. It's one of mine. All right. All right. So just to kind of, we're going to get to what the things are in a second here. The big stats. 86% of U.S. population uses the Internet. Not the biggest in the world. We are not the biggest by far. 40% of the global Internet uses one or more, one billion people have bought goods online. 65% of web usage is now mobile. Right? How many people bought something in the last week on their device, on a mobile device? I did. Black Friday is over Monday. I am so broke. Sucked. But I got some great deals. Let me tell you. My wife does no idea. Well, unless she's watching this right now. This is a problem. All right. Local stats. Local being just kind of local to areas in general. Not my local, not your local, but just kind of a local version of things. 85% of consumers use Internet to find local businesses. Okay. Here's a survey for your question. How many people remember the yellow pages? Right? How many people never heard of the yellow pages? Don't lie. Oh, well, okay. We have an older audience. That's okay. Cool. Surprising. 33% of people read stats and reviews to make a purchase. Again, 65%. I put that in there twice. Sorry. Okay. So what is the proper care feeding and growth? What's this kind of breakdown to? So a couple of things. Design and functionality, content, and engagement. Okay. Content. Kelly was awesome. Content is key. Right? It really is. It's important. Design is important, too. How many designers in the house? I love you guys. How many actual developers? Mostly like you guys. No kidding. Okay. So the care. Design and functionality. Is it mobile ready? Number one thing. April 21st, 2015. Google made it so mobile got higher rankings, right? I believe that's the correct date in that timeframe. You want to be mobile ready. It really is important. Design for mobile first, potentially, right? SEO, super important. A moving target. I am not an SEO expert.  If you don't do SEO, sub it out. And then functionality. Make sure you're using the right tools for the right service for what you do. Recently came across a client who has e-commerce. They're running Woo for a jewelry store, but they don't sell online. Right? What? Someone said what? Who said what? I want to give you something. Thank you. That's all I'm going to get you. That's all you got. That's all I got. So they use Woo because the previous developer installed Woo because they wanted to have a saved list form that you could print out, go to the jewelry store. This is what I want to see. The problem is they now have 14,000 lists that will never use or print it out. And a ton of spam and link bait because of the way Woo system is set up. There's literally no authentication that these accounts are real or not. So use the right thing. If you sell something online, then use Woo. If you don't sell, don't use Woo. Or just don't do that. Don't do e-commerce online if you don't need e-commerce. There are better solutions here. All right. Content. Feeding. You want to feed it. Content. Fresh and in which format? Fresh means consistently new and updated. Evergreen's great, but you want to keep people coming back. The format's important here. I am not a blogger. I, like Kelly, am a podcaster. I have two podcasts. We'll get to that at the end of this last slide. Do you write? Great. Then blog. You want to hear your voice? Great. Then podcast. You're showing how to do something, then do video. Okay? Make sure you have the right format for your audience. Make it relevant. Don't talk about Laravel. I don't know where that came from. If you're talking about CSS. It may not make sense. Okay? And actionable. When you have content, make it actionable. Someone can do something with that that day. Make the answer and help their questions. You will get further in life if you help other people get further with their life, right? It's a famous quote. I totally butchered it. It's fine. Customer engagement. Growth. Social media. Owning and renting tools. Tools is the wrong place for this. But social media. Fantastic. Who uses Twitter? Snapchat? LinkedIn? All those social media. Fantastic places to go to to get people to come back to your site. You want to own the engagement. At any time, any day, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, they might turn things off. And you don't have the engagement. I'd rather have a list of 50 people who I know want my information versus 500 likes. Likes don't matter anymore, right? It feels good. Oh, it's not like my post. But I want their email address, honestly. Owning and renting, that's the whole concept, right? Hub and spoke. Make sure people come back to your site, okay? So now the growth. This is always important. People say, how do I grow my engagement? How do I grow my site and my business? So I had the epiphany a year, a little over a year ago. Moved from California to North Carolina. Anyone here from California besides me? A couple of people. Anyone still live there? Okay. Why? No, I'm joking. No, it's okay. I'm a native Californian. I'm a Laker fan through and through. Dodger fan as well.  Not a LeBron fan. No, it's okay. I know. I live in North Carolina now. And I learned a year ago, business was okay, but I had some of my friends, competitors were all friendly in this business, doing really well and I was not. I'm like, what's the difference? It's the tools. The number one tool they use is a CRM. Anyone know, anyone use a CRM? Anyone never heard of this term before? Content, I'm sorry, customer relational manager, right? CRM is massively important. Use a CRM. I won't tell you which one I'm using right now. If you want to ask after, you can. The key is it helps me track things. Everything gets into my CRM. My old way of biz dev was this, total shotgun approach. I would email, warm or cold lead, let's say, the person. BCC, my Trello board. So a copy of my email would go to my Trello board. And that was it. So if someone contacted me, I could go back and see what I sent. Not the best way of doing business. So one in 50 would get back to me. Really bad odds. Now I get much more engagement because I follow up with a CRM. You can track things. This is really small, I'm so sorry. 81% of people, what's that say? I just, it says track everything. So I track everything. Everything gets of value in my CRM. And I follow up consistently all the time. Okay. Next tool, email marketing. Who believes this does not work? Well, good. Or you're lying to me. Email marketing works. It does. It's annoying to some extent. You can take advantage of people, but don't. But email marketing works. Lead magnets work. Trip campaigns work. If you have the right audience, if you have the right content. Okay.  I love this one. When someone leaves your website, before they leave, you can say, hey, one last thing. Right. It's fabulous. I honestly love exit intent. I mean, I don't want them to leave my site, but I have one more, one more shot at it. Okay. And then, oh, fancy transition. I don't know where that came from. Last but not least, abandoned carts. How many people do sell something online in this room? So like actually have a shopping cart system that they make sense. We lose so much. 78% of people will leave the cart empty. They'll put something in the cart and they leave. I do it every day on Amazon. I say, yeah, I'll save this for later. And I do. I go back and look and want to see what's going on. But I will, and I do come back sometimes where I just save it as a list later. But 78% of people put something in because we have 72 tabs open in Chrome. Right. Oh, it's not just me. So happy to hear that laugh. Good. Whew. It's not good. My fan kicks in. It's just weird. So abandoned carts. I use the service now to save that. People then come back because you can actually have a campaign for abandoned carts. All right. So that in a nutshell is the growth. Right. So to repeat, we want to have the right content, have the right services and have the right ways to engage. Okay. John F. Kennedy said this. There are risks and costs to action, but there are far less than the long range risks of comfortable inaction. Huge believer in this. You have to take action. And with that, you will see results. You will grow your business. You will grow your environment, your engagement of customers and your site in WordPress 2019 and beyond. And Q&A, if you have any questions. But before that, this is really about me real quick. I'm Adam, by the way. So I have two brands. Well, three. Concierge WP. It's my agency. Kitchen Sink is my podcast. So I do have a weekly podcast. And that's where I give back every Monday for the past 249 weeks in a row. I don't miss ever. Okay. I'll make sure I knock on wood there. I'm actually looking for two people to interview tomorrow. Brand new WordCampers. If you've never been to WordCamp, come to find me. And also Get Options podcast, another show as well. So that's how you can find me online. If you have questions about the tools I actually use, I'm not trying to sell you anything. I just want you to take action and do things consistently. And I do have, like, if you want to know the one secret, that's what it is. The secret to growth is consistent action every day. Okay. That's all I got. Thanks.

Hey guys it's Julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video I'm going to be doing another recent Reads video. I'm wondering Julia what are you wearing? This is my it's ice nine kills rain jacket thing, my boyfriend got this for me a while back. I haven't worn it yet but it's so cool and it has pennywise on the back. But it has pennywise on the back. I don't know if you can see that but yeah it has pennywise on the back. I'm really excited about it. I think it looks cute, we're working it. So today I have about six books to talk about some being graphic novels, one a few being arcs and things like that. So let's jump right into it. First book I have here to talk about is The Prom and this is mainly written by Sandra Mitchell. This is based off of the Broadway musical The Prom which I loved.  It was amazing. I loved it. If you don't know anything about the general premise of this musical and book it is mainly about this girl who this girl named Emma who is lesbian and she wants to bring her girlfriend to her high school prom and the student council and basically the parents will not allow this and they try to make sure she doesn't go to prom and make sure that she doesn't have a prom and this starts kind of a little uproar in Indiana where it's taking place. Follow a like a handful of Broadway stars as well on the side who are all very comical and funny and they are just described as really arrogant and obnoxious and they want good publicity for their Broadway musicals so they hear about this girl named Emma and what she's going through and the homophobia she's going through in Indiana and they decide this would be good press so they go to Indiana to help her out and that's what the story follows. This story has such a fantastic romance that I absolutely adore and I just aside from the musical we're just going to talk about the book because the musical I can rave on about and I might make a little like something for the musical I might talk about that more. Some of the lines from this were directly from the musical or which I really liked I think that was kind of cool. Writing could kind of like quirky and have that like humor side to it. I didn't like a lot of the slang that was used I just thought it was like you know when adults write a book but they try to sound like teens and they use like teen slang but it's like weird like they called people like oh gee they made some like gay jokes and stuff like that. Some of which were like funny but some of which were like really. Most of the jokes fall super flat in my opinion. I typically stay away from looking at reviews of other books before I write my own and this is just so I 100% put all my genuine thoughts into my review and then if I have to do research after I will do that and if there's I don't know just something I'll update it if I need to but usually I just write my reviews depending on the book of course. The problem with this one is that one of the main characters Alyssa the other girl is a lesbian in the Broadway musical but her sexuality is switched in the book and she is bisexual now so that is a lot where the criticism is coming for this book so far and this book comes out in September and a lot of the reviews like the average on Goodreads is like a 2.4 like it's extremely low because of this switch for like this sexuality switch that they did for Alyssa. It's kind of just a really bad decision and really ignorant on their part to do that because a lot of people are saying and it's obvious you can't just switch someone's sexuality they're not interchangeable you can't do that that's just not right so I do agree with that and that did affect my rating as well. I think without my prior knowledge of the musical it just would have fallen super flat for me this book like I think I enjoyed my reading experience a little bit more because I had that knowledge of the musical and it reminded me of the musical so like I think that's why I had a good reading experience but the writing lacked the characters again there was that whole sexuality issue and the characters weren't as fleshed out and the whole story wasn't just fleshed out. It's a pretty tiny book as well. There are some important themes in here as well like identity, bullying, sexuality which are all important to recognize. Anyways I ended up giving this book two stars and I was sent this by Penguin Teen. Up here I have two graphic novels to talk about one I don't like they go together but one of them I literally don't know what happened to it like it's probably somewhere on one of my shelves but like I lost it like I don't know where it is it's probably somewhere but like I can't find it right now. That is the Tea Dragon Society and the companion the Tea Dragon Festival. So I picked up the normal like the first book and this is an art copy of the companion that this one comes out in September I believe or yes so they gave both of them to me at book expos where I got them. I'm just talking about the series. The series is super fun, adorable. The art style is one of my favorites. It's like so unique it has a beautiful like little pastel color palette. I love it. I also love the Tea Dragons that are in this and you get all their names and like what they do and they like brew like they kind of like get you get tea leaves from them and it's really cool. Our main character in the other one is a blacksmith apprentice which I thought was really interesting that's not really a perspective that we see a lot. I really love the story so far in the first one and I thought I was just super excited because there's this really great romance sprouting and it's a female-female romance I believe so I was just so lovely to see that. Talking more about the Tea Dragon Festival I didn't mention but this is written by these are written by Katie O'Neill. So this one again is an art. This one comes out in September. I'm super excited for everyone else to read it because it was so so good. I gave both of these four stars. I love the concept. This one had to do more with a friendship and I had this memory loss component and it was just overall like stunning like not just the art but the story the plot everything was beautiful and I loved it. The series is just really really good for a graphic novel series like I'm really liking it and I think it's just the perfect amount of like fantasy with romance with light hearted contemporary feels and it's just really really nice. So like yeah anyways love this. Next up here I have Nocturnal by Wilder and this is a poetry collection that I was sent by Andrews McMeal Publishing so thank you so much to them. This collection is divided into four sections known as Dusk, Northern Lights, Howl and Lucid Dreams. All of these sections have their own like little theme but the main overall arching premise of this book is like nocturnal. It talks about the dark and it's very woodsy. That's not the right word but like it's very atmospheric, very nature-centered and really talks about the night and a lot of metaphors to darkness physically metaphorically. It's a great time. Formatting is beautiful. I think the contrast from the black to white pages and the contrast on each page was absolutely stunning. Like I loved this with my entire soul but I'm super picky so I didn't give it five stars. Beautiful collection. I love the writing, the formatting. I didn't love like every single like I didn't love every single poem. It's not a five-star poetry collection for me because like I never give up five stars but this was amazing. I would highly recommend it. Finally I have to talk to you guys about one more graphic novel that I picked up a book expo and this one is called Moonstruck and this is volume one. This is written by Grace Ellis and Shay Beagle I think is how you pronounce it. I'm probably wrong. Oh this got a two-star rating from me for various reasons. There was definitely things, there was a few things I liked but mostly things that I did not enjoy about this collection. With what I did like, I did like the romance. I thought it was starting off really great. Basically this collection is very magical and whimsical fantasy-esque. It has werewolves and like ghouls and like that kind of stuff. It has a lot of paranormal creatures in it and we follow two and there is a female-female romance. I read so much female-female romance this month and that's great because June's Pride Month but it's important to read it all the time but I've just never read so much female-female romance and like a short period of time before so I'm really happy about that. So also recommend me your favorite female-female romances. I think that's important to acknowledge because the amount of people that just read male-male it's really significant as opposed to female-female and then other types of lgbt qip plus representation. Somebody made a great video on it. I'm going offshore a little. Somebody made a great video on it was Jesse and they talked, Jesse from Bowtie's and Books, they talked about how Booktube sucks that pride a little bit and how it's just the lg instead of bt qip plus. Like it's just the lesbian gay that's usually represented and the rest should be more acknowledged. So that was a lovely video. I'll link it down below. Super insightful. Highly recommend watching it. I like the romance. I think it was enjoyable. It was something new that was spreading. It kind of had those like new romance like honeymoon kind of feelings, the whole honeymoon stage. And I also really liked the art. It was just a really nice art style overall. I think it was really pretty. Here are some of the panels. There was definitely pages that I really liked that were like tarot-esque, witchy-esque. So those were really nice. What I didn't like about it, the humor. The humor was so bad. Books fell flat for me. They were cringy. They were just not good, in my opinion. This other story within this story that has other graphic novel bits that one of the characters is reading and it's like a knockoff archie comic in the middle of this and it made no sense to me to the actual plot and what's actually going on. And it just randomly switches art styles between the current story and this other story. But I see no correlation and I'm like why? So I was confused. Not even that but just why? And it looks weird kind of tacky. Like it's like old archie comic style graphic novel in the middle of this one that is like witchy and fantasy-ish. It was just weird. Like why? Had a similar. The plot is where I had some issues as well. This was super similar to me to like the Jirachi like Pokemon movie, which I love by the way. But this was kind of like oh a spell is cast. Oh no, we have to get it reversed. It was like the main plot of this. It just wasn't that great, in my opinion. And there was also this Q&A section in the middle. Where was Q&A's with random celebrities? I don't understand why it was there. Literally why? I'm giving this one two stars. Realistically it's more of like a 1.5 star read. If that I just didn't enjoy that much at all. So there you guys have it. Those were some of my recent reads. Let me know your thoughts on these books down below if you're going to pick any of them up. If you've read any of them, your thoughts, all that stuff. So thank you so so much for watching. Make sure to check me out on any other social medias if you feel like it. My links are always down below. Instagram, Twitter, Goodreads, even my Patreon. So thank you so so much for watching. I really appreciate it from the bottom of my soul. I'm in a weird mood today. So thank you guys so so much for watching and I'll see you super soon. Bye!


Lux presents Hollywood. Leverbrothers Company, the makers of Lux's pilot soap, brings you the Lux Radio Theatre. Starring Rock Hudson, Piper Laurie, and Gene Lockhart, in Has Anybody Seen My Gal? Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving, coming. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. In tonight's play, we have a very serious problem. How to inherit a hundred thousand dollars and not let it go to your head? The story of a rich old man who almost ruined a romance and a marriage by his generous gift. And playing their original roles in Has Anybody Seen My Gal? Are two of you in the national studio's most prominent stars. Piper Laurie and Rock Hudson. Co-starring in this romantic comedy is one of our love character actors, Gene Lockhart. But now before our play gets underway, here's Ken Carpenter with an important message. You know, it's funny how quickly we all take new conveniences for granted. For example, there's Lux liquid detergent. Now it's a comparative newcomer, but already millions of people are wondering just how they managed to get rid of messy dishes without it. Lux liquid makes such a quick and easy thing of doing dishes. It literally soaks grease off plates, so you have only to rinse and stack and you're done. No need to dry dishes because they'll drain sparkling bright. Another important point. While Lux liquid is hard on grease, it's easy on your hands. Being a Lux product, it's Lux mild. And that Lux liquid can. Well, it really is special. It won't break like a bottle, and it has a wonderful new kind of dripless spout that ends messy handling. Lux liquids are thrifty one too. One can will do over 2,000 dishes. Yes, Lux liquid is as good for dishes as Lux flakes are for nylons. And well, ever since nylons were invented, as you know, there's been no care like Lux Flakes care for them. The fact that Lux Flakes care can double the life of every pair just might have something to do with its being in so many homes. Women everywhere count on Lux Flakes care for nylons. Of course, new products come along with new claims. But no matter what anyone else says, 96% of stocking manufacturers recommend Lux Flakes. Both Lux liquid for dishes and Lux Flakes for nylons are unconditionally guaranteed by Lever Brothers.  Now act one of has anybody seen my gal starring Rock Hudson as Dan, Piper Laureus Milley, and Gene Lockhart as Mr. Fulton. Come back with us a bit. Come back 27 years to Jack Dempsey, Charles Lindberg and Janet Gaynor whom I discovered. To Calvin Coolidge and I do not choose to run. Come back to Wink-We-Gastfart. Come back to 1927. Babe Ruth hit 60 home runs that year. The Columbia Broadcasting System was bought. The Stutz Bearcat was the Casper Jarvis and the so-called flaming youth of that era called bebop jazz. But they were cute just the same. Don't be hard-hearted. Today they're mother and dad. The almost richest man in America was named Samuel Fulton and he was a bachelor. Too bad he was in his 60s and smoked villainous nickel cigars. It is 1927. Sam Fulton sits in his bed while his attorney Mr. Norton reads Sam Fulton's will out loud. I do make publish and declare this my last will and testament in the manner of following. It'll be nice if you fellow spoke English. Go on. First I give a bequeath to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blaisdell. And he'll spell it with a double L. Who reside in Hilverton, Vermont my entire estate which consists of... You'll never mind that. It'll take all day.  Sam you're not sick. Oh I'm not. You'd only get out of bed and stop growling. Now look, why don't you enter into an agreement with Dr. Wallace whereby he'll not practice law if you don't practice medicine? When I say you're not really sick I'm quoting Dr. Wallace and you know it. I never felt worse. Now is that will ready for my signature or I can still guide a fountain pen? Sign right here Sam. Now, this gives Mr. and Mrs. Blaisdell everything, right? Tell me, are these Blaisdell's relatives of yours? Now you know perfectly well I don't have a relative in the world. Then why do you want to name the Blaisdells your heirs? Sheer gratitude. It was Mrs. Blaisdell's mother that was responsible from a fortune. I was in love with her when I was a young man. She was a vision of loveliness, an absolute vision of loveliness. Well why didn't you marry her? She turned me down. Turned me down for a bookkeeper making 30 bucks a week. But if Milson had said yes to me instead of no, I'd have remained in Hilbeton round the rest of my life. Parting along on 30 or 40 dollars a week. But she said no. So I went to Alaska for gold and Texas for oil and... Here I am, one of Uncle Sam's main sources of income. Well, didn't you ever see her again? Never. She died a few years ago, shortly after her husband passed away. But she left a daughter, Harriet, married to a drugist named Blaisdell, Charles Blaisdell. Two elves, got it? Well, don't you think you ought to investigate the Blaisdell family first?   Oh, what if the Blaisdells turned out to be drunkards of spendthrift, squandering your fortune on bootlegs? Oh, nonsense. If Milson had said yes, her family would have been my family. Millish children and grandchildren, drunkards and spendthrift, who he? Well, Sam, it's your money. Sign here. Now don't rush me. Don't rush me. I'm not signing my life away yet, mister. But a sin for a barber.  That way they won't recognize I'm Samuel Fulton. Who won't? The Blaisdells, of course. But you just said a look. I've got a look at this family first. Well, I suppose they should turn out to be drunkards and spendthrift. I just said that.  And get me passage to Hilbeton right away. Excuse me, mister. I've got to sweep these leaves. Hilbeton Public Library. It seems like yesterday. Yeah, they're nippy other than it was yesterday. Winter's coming. The last time I took a book out of this library was 40 years ago. Wow. Like two cents a day overdue charges, you owe them a fortune. Oh, thank you. That young woman there coming down the steps. Good morning, Fred. How are you? Just fine, Miss Blaisdell. Just fine. Oh, excuse me, sir. Excuse me. Well, take care of yourself, Fred. Take your dad. That Belladonna pastor he sold me did the work. I'll just do that. Blaisdell? Yeah. And Millie Blaisdell. Don't tell me you took her out 40 years ago. Which way is her father's drugstore? Just follow Millie. Why? Charlie Blaisdell owe you money, too? No, no, no. I owed his mother-in-law a great deal. Five foot two. I don't know. Oh, what those five feet can do? Has anybody seen my gal? Hey, are you the drugist? I want some aspirin. Hello. Harriet. I can't. Can't you see I'm on the telephone? Millie, I'm trying to talk to your mother. Dan, tend that soda fountain. How about some service here? One moment, sir, as you see. I want a box of aspirin. Millie, Dan, cut that out. I've got a hint. It's getting worse in this pharmaceutical bedlam. Yes, sir. I'll talk to you later, dear. I-I-I don't have aspirin. A 15-cent, sir. What? 15 cents? I can get this in New York for 14 cents. Well, if you want to spend $11 fair in New York to save a penny, that's all right with me, mister. All right, all right. Now, can I disturb your fountain, ma'am, for a glass of water? Yes. Dan, a glass of water for the gentleman. Dan! Yes, sir. One glass of aqua pura coming up. Is it more if I get it in Latin? I've got to go home now, Dan. Will I see you tonight? You bet, Millie. Eight o'clock. Good movie at the Strand. What is it? Bessie Love and Tom Moore in anybody here seen Kelly. Oh, that'll be the cab. See you to see. Eight o'clock. Right. I'd like to use your telephone, please. Right in the booth, sir. Thank you. A telephone book in the booth, sir. Thank you. Is this the hell-burton evening courier? I wish to advertise a room for rent. Are you ready? Oh, good evening, young lady. May I ask who you are? I'm a bit of blazed out. Who are you? I'm, uh, uh, Mr. Smith. John? Smith. No relation to the John Smith who fell in love with Pocahontas. Pocahontas who? Well, that answers my question. May I see your mother? Who is it, Roberta? There's a draft. Oh, are you Mrs. Blazedale? Yes. I've come to answer your advertisement. Oh, what? You advertised in the courier for a boarder.  Here's the paper. There it is, in black and white. Boarder wanted. Pleasant room and excellent food for gentlemen. $8 a week. Inquire... This is our address, all right. Maybe Papa did it. He did say we could use some extra money. So if you'll kindly show me to my room. I have no intention of taking in a boarder. Then why did you advertise for one? I did not advertise. You can be held accountable in the courts of law for such blatant misrepresentation. Do you realize that? We don't even have a room. Yes, we do, mother. Where? The room right next to the attic. You know where Grandma lived after Grandpa died. It sounds enchanting. I'll take it. Really? Smith is my name, John Smith. Really, Mr. Smith? Here's a week in advance. But... What time do you serve dinner? Seven o'clock. Seven o'clock. No! Six ladies better for me, but if that's... My husband will be furious. And I've a grown son and daughter who won't like it one bit better. It's the deal, Mom. You took the money. Isn't that so, Mr. Smith? Absolutely airy. Oh, dear. I know you'll know Grandma's old room, Mr. Smith. I'm sure I will, Roberta. I'm sure I will. Oh, well, eight dollars is eight dollars. Do you like the room? Very much. Very much. And that... Would that be your grandma's picture there? Yeah. Wasn't she pretty? Beautiful. Her name was Millicent, just like Millie. I know. You know? Oh, well, of course I know. How? You just told me. Oh, that's right. All right. Dinner at seven, Mr. Smith. Be seeing you. Millicent. It seems like... yesterday. Harriet, this is ridiculous now. I won't have that man, whoever he is, up there. He's coming down here any minute. Well, my friend's thing, taking in a border. None of the better families would do a thing like that. You mean richer families, don't you, brother dear? Well, I'm going up there until that man, you'll have to leave at once. Oh, Charles, it can't be too bad. We never use that room, and we can use the money. And I like him more than any of the boys I know. All right, all right, he can stay the week. But after that, he goes. Good evening, all you good people. You did say dinner at seven. You? Why not? Mr. Smith, this is my husband. Yes, we've met and parted. Oh, my daughter, Millicent. Hello. Oh, you were in the store today. Yes, you and Dan, the soda clerk, are a charming couple. Oh, thank you, Mr. Smith. And this is my son, Howard. How are you? How are you? Do sit down, Mr. Smith. Hmm, still. Still. I'm sorry, but I must confine myself to soft foods. Uh-huh. Milk, eggs, boiled fish, mashed bananas. Yes, we have no mashed bananas. Howard. This is not a restaurant, Mr. Smith. We all eat the same thing, or we don't eat at all. Please. Taste it, Mr. Smith. Mama makes the best stew in Hilverton. She does. Hmm, perhaps she does at that. Well, that's all settled. Maybe if we have stew often enough, I can get a car, huh, Dad?  But all the fellas in my frat have a car. And join another frat. Millie has all the answers. You just got a brand-new raccoon coat, didn't you? Yeah, a brand-new used one. Sometimes I wish we were so rich we didn't have to pay our bills. There's no disgrace in being poor. That's probably the only good thing that can be said about it. You ought to see Carl Panick's new run about and Apperson Jack Rabbit 8. And Apperson? Oh, by the way, Millison. I favor the Jordan or the Mercer myself. Well, Jordan and Mercer will be happy to hear that, Smith. By the way, what, Mother? Uh, Carl Panick called a while ago when you were out. From home or from his new Apperson? Don't be frivolous, Millison. I made a date with him for you for tonight. What? I made it? Mother, you knew I'd a date with Dan? I forgot. Oh, you didn't forget, Mother. You just want me to go out with Carl because he's rich. No, dear. Well, you can call Carl right back and tell him I can't see him. What will he seek of me? Well, then I'll call. Well, you can. He'd be terribly offended. Well, what about Dan? She has a date with Dan, Harriet. She can see your soda dispenser any time. The panics are the most important family in town. I don't care how important they are. I won't go.  Well... Well, what about Dan? He hasn't got a phone, and how will we let him know that my dates are for the night? Well, just let me handle him, dear, when he comes to pick you up. I tell Carl to come to quarter to eight so you'll be gone before Dan gets here. Oh, so you didn't forget she had a date with Dan, huh? Hmm, it's all right, Mr. Smith. And wear your long dress, dear, the one that comes down to your knees. Water mess, mess, mess, yes, mess. Why, I find this to be a delicious stew. I'll get it, Roberta. Hello, Mrs. Blaisle. Carl, come in. We saw you drive up in your new car. And what a lovely new raccoon coat. Thanks. To go with that Jack Ravadite, I suppose. This is Mr. Smith, Mr. Pennick. How do you do, young man? How do you do, sir? You know Howard, of course, and Mr. Blaisle. How are you, Howie? Mr. Blaisle. Hi, Carl. Roberta, for heaven's sake. All right, all right. Well, Mr. Smith is staying with us for a while, Carl. Oh? He's an old friend of the family. Right now, he's exactly three hours old. Pardon? Here I am almost just on time. Hello, Carl. Oh, hot, tickety-dock. The perfect tribute. Well, let's go, huh? Yes. Well, good night, everyone. Good night. Have a nice time. Don't take any nut and wick, old man. Good night. Five minutes with Carl Pennick and a girl has a past.  I know exactly what I'm doing, Charles. I have no intention of permitting my daughter to make the same mistake my mother made. What mistake was that? If I may be so impertinent, Mrs. Blaisle? You may not, Smith. Grandma could have married Samuel Fulton, the richest man in the world. Yeah, Roberta. Instead, she married the poorest. You don't say now. Do you mean your grandmother could have married Samuel G. Fulton? Well, yes. But she didn't love him. Of course, Fulton wasn't rich when he proposed. Well, I'm glad Grandma married Grandpa. I once saw a picture of Mr. Fulton. And you ought to see the beard he's got. A picture of Grandma married him might have a beard by now. Hey, I bet that's Dan. What are you going to tell him, Mrs. Blaisle? Tell him? Leave that to me. But Millicent had a date with me, Mrs. Blaisle. She asked me to apologize for her. She had a previous date and completely forgot about it. Date with who? Kyle Pinnick. That cake eater. An easy man to forget, you see. Well, I guess I'll have to go to the movies alone. Ah, don't be discouraged, Dan. Remember, only the brave deserve the fair. They're the only ones who can live with some of them. Oh? Good night, all. I better go to my room and, uh, repent.  Could have been all mine if you could only have loved me somewhat. Well, good night, Millicent. It's weak with you, Mr. Smith. I shall always cherish the memory among my souvenirs. I'm sure going to miss you tomorrow. Why, won't you be home tomorrow? I will, but you won't. I heard Papa tell Mother that you must leave tomorrow morning. Hot or cold, whatever that means. Oh, that means, regardless, absolutely, for sure and positively. For sure? Maybe. Well, here's your dad's store. Uh, would you care to join me at the soda fountain in a farewell black cow? No.   No. You're heartless, that's what you are. Me? Yes. Goodbye, Mr. Smith. Goodbye, Roberta. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Uh, would you care to join me while I buy a couple of nickel cigars, then? Okay. Hey, Mr. Blaisdell, how about some fountain service? Hey, what kind of a drug store is this, anyhow? Hey, you can't, I'll be quiet. The doctor's on the phone trying to give me a prescription. Now, how much you asking to get these iron and wine, Charlie? One eight teaspoon full, three times daily, PC, and one at bedtime. Two nickel cigars to me, would you, Mr. Blaisdell? Oh, why don't you get out of town? No, no, Doctor, no, not you. Can I win on Mr. Smith, Papa? All right, Donald. I'll send that right over. All right. Good idea. Let's go to competition. All right, okay.  Just wanted to know how it sells, in case I see a rundown in the screen. Oh, we're about at six for five. Oh, I want to find out. Hey, wait for me, fellas. I'm with you to a man. With a Google... Well, what happened? A spark plug ran out. Now, where's Dan?  You're losing a lot of business, Mr. Blaisdell. Well, I know it, but I can't help it. I can't afford a full-time fountain man. All I can pay is $12 a week, and nobody wants to work for that money. Mr. Smith, why don't you work for Papa? Me? I'll give you $12 a week. Do it, Mr. Smith, do it. I'll make you a proposition, Blaisdell. Instead of paying me $12, you permit me to continue to board at your house and give me $5 cash per week. Well, that's the equivalent of $13 a week. Take it or leave it. Take it, Papa. All right. You're hired. Any more deliveries, Mr. Blaisdell?  Him? Why not? Well, I guess you're better than nothing. Thank you, Dan. Thank you. Get your coat off and I'll show you the ropes. Which reminds me, Mr. Blaisdell, there are two nickel cigars with employees' discounts. What? Already? And, uh, charging. Now, these here we call the draft arms. Soda on the sides and plain water in the middle.  Well, I think we've just got us a white elephant. Well, sir, Mr. Cummings, act two of Has Anybody Seen My Gals, starring Piper Laureus Milley, Rock Hudson as Dan, and Gene Lockhart as Mr. Fulton. Samuel Fulton, millionaire posing as John Smith, a penniless border in the Blaisdell home, has developed into a palace. It's even a demon soda jerker object. To observe if the Blaisdells are worthy to inherit his huge fortune, right now he is in the drugstore phone booth while the flaming youth of 1927 hungers for banana splits at his intended fountain he is talking to New York. Now, listen here, Norton, are you or are you not my lawyer? Of course I'm your lawyer, Sam, but... Am I or am I not of sound mind? Well... Okay, now grab a train and get down here by dinner time tonight. And remember, the Blaisdells think I'm an eccentric. They've got a point. They think my name's John Smith, see? So when you get here tonight, don't let on that you know me and take a coach. The chair car is a needless expense. Yes, Sergeant. What? Oh, nothing. We'll do. Goodbye. Oh, that's where you are, Mr. Smith. Oh, hello, Melissa. Yes, just prospecting around, looking for Nichols in the return slot. Is Dan in back? Oh, Dan's off today. Oh. Uh, try the library. Oh, thank you, Mr. Smith. Thanks a lot. Good hunting. Hello, Dan. Melissa, what are you doing here at the library? What are you reading? Microbe, Hunters. Oh, sounds very interesting. You don't sound very interested. Well, not in microbes, this specimen. Then what do you see in Carl Pinnock? I get the heebie-jeebies when I think of him telling everybody you're his sheeba. But I'm not. You're not? Well, not anymore. What about your mother? Oh, she's furious at the Pinnock because they're giving a big party tonight and they didn't invite me. Oh, boy, let's get out of here. We're going for a long ride. Milly. Daniel, congratulate me, folks. We're engaged. Engaged. Better close the door, kids, and come on in. Engaged. To each other? To be married? Well, now, if that isn't a silly question, Harriet, I hope you don't object. No, of course not, Dan. Of course not. Congratulations, my boy. I feel faint. Engaged. That's almost as good as marriage. It's frequently better. My very best wishes, ma'am. Thank you, Mr. Smith. I still can't believe it. Oh, neither can I.  Well, now, what should I cry about? I've always wanted my daughter to marry someone who could give her all the things I never had. I resent that. All right, my dear. Your father seems to have no objection. So I hope you'll be very happy. Oh, thank you, Mother. Thank you. Well, how about a drink to the happy couple, huh? The very best bootleg gin, right off the boat. Most of the stuff I've tasted must have waited ashore. Wait a minute. That may be a policeman. I'll get it. I'll give him the old childhood innocence. Is this the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blaisdell? Yes, sir. May I see them, please? Come right in. Thank you. They're in the living room. My sister just got engaged to my father's leading clerk. Good evening. I hope I'm not intruding. Oh, are you Mr. Blaisdell? That's Mr. Blaisdell. Oh, I'm Edward Norton, attorney for the Hamilton Trust Company. Well, if it's about my mortgage, well, see, business has been rather slow in the past few weeks. No, it's... Nothing like that. Well, sit down, won't you? This is my wife, my two girls, and my future son-in-law, Dan Stevens. And this is Mr. Smith, our border. I didn't catch the name. Smith. Smith? Smith. S-M-I-T-H. Smith. First name's John. Mr. Smith is Papa's leading soda jerker. Soda jerker? Yes, you must come in and try one of my 2-T fruity delights. May I ask what you wish to see us about? I've been authorized to deliver into your hands this check. What is it, an advertisement? Oh, sure. This check worth $10 toward the purchase of Manhattan Island. Uh, read it, Mrs. Blaisle. Pay to the order of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Blaisle $100,000. Toward the purchase of the United States Navy. Please, Mr. Scott. Smith! I-I don't understand, Mr. Norton. Oh, don't need to do I. Just what is this? This money is yours to do whatever you wish with it. $100,000? Oh? Here, I-I don't recognize the signature. Now, if it's a joke, if you have any doubt, call Mr. Parker, the manager of the Hilberton Bank. The bank's closed now. I just left him at his home where I told him this check would be put through his bank. Well, it must be true. Well, yeah, it does seem so, but... So they took the $100,000 and bought themselves galoshes. You mean we're rich? Oh, if you consider $100,000 rich... Do I? Mrs. Blaisle. We're rich! Hot diggity dog! Hot dog! Harriet. He- Oh, she's fainted. Go to a neutral corner, Norton. I'll handle this. How do you feel, Mrs. Blaisle? Fine. Just let me sit up. Thank you. And stop fanning her with that check, Smith. It's what knocked her out, isn't it? Some of the hair of the dog that bit her. Now, Charles, children. Now that we're wealthy, the first thing we'll do is move out of this old house. But I like this house. We'll buy a house on the hill where the best people live. We'll pay off the mortgage on the drugstore. You will sell the drugstore. But I'd like to store it for 20 years of my life into it. So my daughter isn't good enough for Carl Penwick? Well, perhaps Carl won't be good enough for my daughter. I'll say he isn't. Anyway, I'm engaged to Dan now. You tell him, kid. Oh, that. That was before we were wealthy. Oh, Dan. Yes, Mrs. Blaisle? Oh, don't want people to say you married Millicent for her millions, do you? It isn't millions, Harriet. No, everybody will say it is, and let them. Dan?  I'm in no position to marry a rich girl. Excuse me, all. Dan, wait. Dan. Goodbye. The engagement is off. Oh, well, this certainly has been an exciting evening. I guess I may as well go to bed. Oh, Mr. Smith, you'll have to look for lodgings elsewhere. Elsewhere? Immediately. I'll go after Dan. Why, Mr. Smith? Well, maybe he'll let me share his room with him immediately. I've enjoyed rooming with you these weeks. Makes me feel young and foolish again. I wish it made me feel old and wise. And what do you hear from Millicent Blaisle? Nothing. We're finished. Let her marry Carl. Ah, look at it this way. If you married Millicent, you'd be tied down to Helveton all your life. The way things are, you can go anywhere. Seize your opportunity. You might even become a millionaire. You never had any responsibility. Why aren't you a millionaire? How do you know that I'm not responsible?  Well, I'd better be off to my soda fountain. Hey, pipe the mangy raccoon coat. Howard Blaisle gave it to me this morning. Just turn the door knob. Walk in. Hi, man. Hello, Roberta. Hi, my dear. Oh, golly. Don't you two ever clean up this room? Twice a month, whether it needs it or not. Uh, how's Millicent? I wouldn't know. She's always out with Carl. Eating cake, no doubt. He's taking her to Joe's tonight. Joe's? It's a speakeasy. Why? Why? It's a speakeasy. That's why. I just said that. She just said that. Out of my way. Out of my way. Well, where are you going? To Joe's place. It's a speakeasy. I said that. Yes, and Millie's there tonight with Carl. And Carl said the cop was in the store before dinner telling me, confidentially, that Joe's was going to be raided tonight. End message. Goodbye. Oh, come on. Millicent wants you. We see a little drink. No, Carl. No, Carl. No, Carl. I just don't like to drink. That's all. It makes me ill. That's the opposite. What's a good drink and hooch? You can't talk about it. Can't we go someplace else? No, no. No, no. This stuff is two months old already. You want it to get stale? Millie. Millicent. Isn't that Mr. Smith? Well, if it isn't, it's the biggest raccoon ever came out of a bottle. Millie. Millie, Carl. You've got to get out of here. How did you get in here? I told the man Jack sent me. There's always a Jack. Out now. Fast. This place is going to be raided. Apple thought. Raided. Banana oil. I'm telling you. He's telling us. Please, Carl. I don't want to be caught in a place like this. It is a raid. I want out. It can't wait. Get me out. Now, both of you. I'll boost you out through the window. Millie, you first. You first. John Smith. Yes, Your Honor. Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Yes, Your Honor. A man of your age being caught in a low dive. Yes, Your Honor. What an example to our younger generation. No wonder youth is flaming with old age setting such a wretched example. 30 days or $50. Oh. Hey, Junior. Come on. You're free, Mr. Smith. Thank you. Good day, Mr. J. List. I hurried down to see if I could help. Dan here got here first. It's all taken care of. So you can go back to your house on the hill now and wait for Carl to call you again. Uh, how much was the fine? I'd like to pay for it. Look, Millicent. I did this because Gramps is a friend of mine. I don't want the money back and especially not from you. Well, you don't have to be so nasty about it. I'm not being nasty. It's just because you've got money now that you can tell me. Children and children, you mustn't call over me. Now, I've saved up a little money for a rainy day. I'll give you back the $50 when we get back to our room. Is that okay, Dan? Okay. Perhaps you'd better keep out of speak easy. Say, Millicent? Yes. Thank you, Mr. Smith. Goodbye, Dan. Goodbye. I'm sorry it has to be this way. I'm sorry too. Yeah. So is your old man. His name is Smith. Chocolate. Malted milk, Gramps. Oh, something on your mind, Howard? The blazed little billions weighing on your shoulders? I'd like to help if I can. Sure. Happen to have $2,000? You've been losing money, Gambley. How did you know? You've been going to Batson's who runs that poker game at the Three Leaf Inn. Yeah. $2,000. And he'll tell Dad if I don't pay him by tomorrow. Tomorrow, huh? Oh, you can't do anything, Gramps. Thanks for worrying about it. Well, I know a little something about cards. When I was a young man, I spent quite some time in the Yukon. We played cards there every night. Nights are long there, you know, Howard. Almost six months long. By one night, we played cards for three months straight. Yeah, I got to be pretty good at poker too. Yes, sir, indeed. Now, I hope you'll be patient with me, gentlemen. Come on, come on. How many cards? May I have as many as three, Mr. Batson? May he have it. Yeah, Foxy Grandpa, you may have even as many as four. May he have as many as three. Thank you, gentlemen. Talk, talk, talk. You know, I... I'd rather have as many as four. Maybe he has as many as three. Thank you, gentlemen. Talk, talk, talk. You know, I... I'm rather new at your kind of game, so bear with me just a little longer, and I assure you I'll get the hang of things. Will you stop the chatter for maybe a fraction of a second and let's see what you've got this time? I'm scum. Pimps and bullets. Pimps and bullets? What kind of talk is that? That's three fives and a pair of aces. Beats me. I got three kings. Oh, too bad. Now, if you don't mind, Mr. Batson, I'll take Howard Blaiseville's IOU in exchange for this stack of chips. It comes to exactly $2,000 and some changeover, I believe. Got it right here in my wallet. Splendid weather this time of year. Lovely. There you are. Thank you, Mr. Batson. Yeah. Pimps and bullets. Thank you, gentlemen. It's been a real pleasure. I don't know when I've spent such an enjoyable evening. All right. She's it. She's it. John Smith? Yes, Your Honor. You've been here before? Yes, Your Honor, when Joe's was raided. Evidently, Mr. Smith, you're an incorrigible malefactor caught in speakeasies, caught in gambling dens.  Yes, Your Honor. $100 or 60 days. Good morning, Howard. Come on, Mr. Smith. You're sprung. Thank you, Mr. Jaylor. Goodbye. Lovely morning, Howard. Uh-huh. I got this in the mail this lovely morning. My IOU to Batson. Torn up. And a note. Let this be a lesson to you. A friend. Who do you suppose could have done this? Search me. But thanks, friend.  Sure thing. Tell Millison that I'm feeling very poorly and would appreciate it a lot if she'd drive me to the doctors tomorrow as a favor. Well, Gramps, what's the matter with you? I never felt better in my life than what? I just give her the message and ask her could she drive me in your new piercero? Okay. Park right here, Millison. Well, this isn't the doctor's office. I want to talk to you. Right here is good. I think I should inform you that I am in perfect health. Well, then why did you ask me to take you to the doctor? That was a ruse to get you out of the house. Now, I want to help you with Dan. He gave the new owner the drugstore his notice. Dan's quitting? Yes. He intends to leave Hilferton entirely and for good. Oh, Gramps. He mustn't. I know he loves you very much. And I think you feel the same about him. Oh, yes. I do love him. I do. Well, if you could convince him that there's a chance for the two of you, I'm certain he'll stay. Oh, just tell me what to do. Do you know where he is now? Well, why do you think I spirited you out of that oversized house of yours? Now, look. See over there?  Well, I want to keep Dan, and I'll fight to hold him. Just tell me what to do. Well, you love Dan, whereas I'm nuts about Laura LePlante. So let's go to the movie, shall we? And pardon us, the folks. Sorry. Sorry. There he is, Nelson.  Uh-huh. Hello, Dan. What? What's the big idea? She wanted to see this movie. Do you remember how we always used to come here? I remember. You used to put your arm around me, then. Things were a little different, then. Excuse me. Dan, wait. Why are you going away? Because there's nothing for me here. But I... Look, Millicent, we've been through all this before. Dad. It's no use. Your family doesn't want any part of me. No way. You've got money, and all I've got is a lot of hopes. But you can't live on hopes, correct? So you do what your mother wants, and Mary, Carl, Penny can forget about me. And you shouldn't have brought her here, Gramps. We wanted to see Laura LePlante. Then you shouldn't have come in at the middle of the picture. Goodbye. Sorry, folks. Excuse me. Dad. There, there, there. Now, now, don't cry. Well, here. Just put your head on my shoulder, so. Okay? Now cry. Well, thanks for trying. I'm going to marry. I'm going to marry. Of course you're going to marry. I'm going to marry Carl Penny. Now wait a minute. I waited long enough. I'm student. All I could. My mother's impatient and caused crazy to marry me. And after all. After all. After all. After all. The playfields and the clinics are the first two families in town. I might just as well marry Carl. The curtain rises on Act 3 of Has Anybody Seen My Gals, starring Rod Cutson as Dan, Piper Laurey as Millie, and Jean Lockhart as Mr. Fulton. The last attempt of Mr. Smith to bring Millicent and Dan together has ended in a near riot at the Strand Theater. And Millicent resigned to marrying Carl Pennett. And Mr. Smith in familiar surroundings again. John Smith? Yes, Your Honor. Not again. Yes, Your Honor. Creating a disturbance in a public place inciting to riot and necking in a theater. Sir? Necking with a young woman you're old enough to be the grandfather on. No, sir. Yes, sir. Objection. Objection. Yes, sir. I've been around. Then be around a little longer. Three months in jail or $200 fine. Hangman. Next page. Sit down, Mr. Smith. Thank you. This is great news. Smith, stand up. He's down. He's up. He's down. I'd like to say a word, please. This is for your mother and me to handle, Millicent. Necking with my daughter in public. It's a disgrace. It's shameful. Blowning. On to. Everybody in town saw you. The movie was at the strand, Mr. Blaisdell, not at the Yale Bowl. We want to know what your intentions are toward my daughter. Oh, mother. Smith, honorable, strictly honorable. You'd really marry her? Nothing would delight me more. Why, thank you, Mr. Smith. I consider that a great compliment. But you're over 60, and Millicent's hardly 20. You're three times her age. Ah, but when I'm 80, she'll be 40. He'll only be twice my age. Right. Well, who knows? Perhaps if I live long enough, she may even catch up with me. This is preposterous. Is it preposterous that anyone should love your daughter? You're after her money, aren't you? Well, isn't young Carl and all the penics who think you're much richer than you are or aren't? Well, do you think for one moment we'd tolerate you for a son-in-law? We might, hello. On the drugstore bicycle. It's no joking marriage, Smith. Isn't this just going to be my brother-in-law? Is he, is he? Good birther, you go right back upstairs to bed. You couldn't be my brother-in-law, Sam? No, Roberta, of course not. Now that the child is here, let's stop this nonsense. My interest in Millicent is entirely paternal. We were not necking. I was crying, and he was comforting me. He was being kind the way he's always been from the very start. Crying. She was crying because Dan's leaving Hilberton. And she was crying because you're driving your daughter into a marriage with a man she doesn't love.  I think we should announce the engagement of Millicent to Carl Tenek immediately. It's time for you to say something, Millicent. Oh, it doesn't matter anymore, Mr. Smith. I'm never going to see Dan again. Well, thanks for trying. And this is for being kind. Thank you, my dear.  Oh, I wish we'd never got that money. Money, money, money, money, money, money, money. Norton, I'm working at the drug store. Now, you don't want to call me here. Couldn't you write me a letter? Blaisdell said it couldn't wait. Blaisdell? He called me long distance a little while ago. He needed $25,000, and he needs it tonight. Tonight? $25,000. I heard you. Tonight's his daughter's engagement party. What's $25,000 got to do with that? If anything. He's desperate. It's a stock he bought on March and took a plunge. And I'm supposed to call him back and let him know if the party who gave him the $100,000 would lend him $25,000. I just like that. Otherwise, he'll be wiped out. Too bad. They seem such a nice family when I met them that night. They are. They couldn't be nicer if they were really my own. Now, let me handle this, Norton. Gotta get back to Masuda Fountain now. Goodbye. Goodbye. Hi, Mr. Smith. Oh, Dan. Hi, my boy. Now, there's a good question. How am I? When tonight, Millie gets engaged to Carl Penwick.  I'm leaving on the nine o'clock train in the morning. I'll help you pack tonight. I thought you might be going to Miss Millis and Blaisdell's engagement party tonight. I didn't receive an engraved invitation. As if that would keep you away if you wanted to eat cake with the cake you did. Oh, I might indulge my sweet tooth a little bit. And see you, son. It's a lovely engagement party, Mrs. Blaisdell. Most tasteful. I compliment you. Thank you so much, Mr. Penwick. And may I say that our son couldn't hope for a lovelier wife than your daughter. A perfect love match in every respect, Mr. Penwick. We're all very, very happy. Excuse me, Harriet. Mr. Penwick. Now what is it, Charlie? I'd like to speak to you privately, Mr. Penwick. Excuse me, Mrs. Blaisdell? Of course. In the Solarium, Penwick. In here. Great party, Charlie. Great party. Must have set you back plenty. But then, what's money to you? Yes. Read this telegram. By reason of the transaction under your account, we must obtain from you $25,000 margin. Unless we see you before 9 a.m. tomorrow, we shall be obliged to liquidate your entire holding. Signed Franklin Parks Company. That's a bad start. Took a little drop, huh? It took a big drop, Penwick. I wanted to ask you... My advice? Right. Well, Blaisdell, my advice to you is to send them the money right away. Penwick, I don't need advice. I need money. Cut it out, Blaisdell. I'll tell you I haven't got it. You must be joking. It's a truth, Penwick. $25,000 is a lot of money. Can't you mortgage this place? It's already mortgaged.  Well, what do you say? Yes or no? I'm sorry, Blaisdell. I'm very sorry. Well, he is that all? I'll have to say goodbye now. Goodbye. Where are you going? Under the circumstances, the engagement is off. Goodbye. Oh, how nice of you to come to my party. Where's your dad? He went into the solarium with Mr. Penwick a while ago. I haven't seen him since. Solarium? Where? Well, come with me. Are you going to dance with me? In this raccoon coat? Pick it off. In my soda, clerks jacket? In here. Come along. Daddy, here's Mr. Smith to talk to you. What can I do for you, Smith? I have an important message for you. Message? From Mr. Edward Norton. Norton? What does he say? Norton. Isn't he the man who gave us that check? Well, he was supposed to call me back and never did. Well, why did he call you? He didn't know you'd sold the store. He called there and I answered. He remembered my invitation to enjoy one of my tutti fruity delights. Now, wasn't that fine? Oh, please, get to the point. What did Norton say? Let's see. He wrote it down here somewhere. I haven't got my glasses. Then neither have I. I'll read it. No. Why not? All right. If you spent $100,000 in so short a time, you would spend $25,000 in a quarter of the time. Therefore, his client must refuse your request. Request? I can't blame him.  Daddy, has all our money gone? Seems to me you are all much happier before you got the money anyhow. Then we are broke. Oh, I'm sorry, Millicent. Very, very sorry. Daddy, nice. Mr. Smith, hi. Oh! Come on out all of you. Mother's about to announce the wedding date. Yikes! Wedding date? Well, there isn't going to be any wedding. There isn't? Oh, the pennants have all gone home. No wedding date! Hey! I wish to announce that the wedding of my daughter Millicent to Mr. Carl Pennick will take place... Hey, hey, wait a minute. Hold everything, Mother. What is it now? The pennants have left. Left? Right. Why should they leave in the... They left because we're broke. Isn't it wonderful? Wonderful! Uh, we knew you would understand this amazing. Wait! Ladies and gentlemen, I have wonderful news for you. We, the Blaisdales, are absolutely broke, and my engagement to Carl Pennick has been called off. We thank you, one and all. Millicent, you've been a support. Well, come on Harriet, let's dance. Let's dance, Miss Blaisdales. Thank you. Halston, Halston, Halston, Halston. John Smith? Yes, Your Honor. Getting pretty tired of seeing you here? Yes, Your Honor. Millicent Blaisdale? Yes, Your Honor. Dan Stevan? Yes, sir. Yes, Your Honor. Yes, Your Honor. Are you from an expert? And, uh, you young people want me to marry you? Yes, Your Honor. I'm talking to the happy couple. Yes, Your Honor. Yes, Your Honor. Now, Mr. Cummings, with our stars. And here they are. Please step forward, Rock Hudson, and bring your gal, Piper Laurey and Jean Lockhart. University of Nashville Studios keeps you and Rock pretty busy. Suppose you tell us about your latest picture, Piper? Well, it's called Johnny Dott, and it's in Technicolor, and it co-stars Tony Curtis and Don Taylor. Johnny Dott doesn't give us much of a clue as to what it's about. Well, it's an exciting romance, Mr. Lockhart. Climaxed by a thrilling sports car race from the Canadian border down through the southwest to the Mexican border. You better watch out going through there. That's Cochise country. And just what do you know about a touchy country, Rock? I am Taza, son of Cochise. I'm Jean, son of Lockhart. I am Piper, daughter of Lockhart. We're certainly glad to hear that, Piper. Well, I've been a Lux girl ever since I came to Hollywood from my hometown Detroit, Mr. Cummings. Good. Now I think it's only fair to add that Taza, son of Cochise, is Rock Hudson's latest Technicolor picture co-starring Barbara Rush. And I think it'll be very appropriate right now if you told us about next week's play. Next week we will present the unusual story of a father who believes so strongly in his son's innocence. He was willing to spend his entire fortune to prove him not guilty of stealing a five-chilling postal order while a student at the British Royal Naval College. And as our stars of the famous play by Terrence Rattigan, we have a superb trio, Ray Milan, Dorothy McGuire, and Brian Ahern in The Wind's Low Boy. Well, that will be an excellent show. Good night. Good night. Good night. We had a wonderful dance. Pepsodent's new flavor. Oh, Pepsodent's new flavor. Pepsodent's new flavor. Wow! Pepsodent's new flavor. And the clean mouth tastes far, far worse. Here's the big news is Pepsodent has a brand new, wonderful flavor. Grown-ups prefer it, but kids, well, kids go crazy for it. And that's not all. I've seen the research that proves Pepsodent gives you the cleanest teeth of all-leading toothpaste. That's because Pepsodent's gentle oral detergent cleans not just the surfaces of your teeth, but around and between them, even where your brush can't reach. Your own personal proof of this is Pepsodent's clean mouth tastes for hours. So try new Pepsodent white. Or if you prefer chlorophyll, Pepsodent chlorophyll. You like. Pepsodent's new flavor. Pepsodent's new flavor. Wow! Pepsodent's new flavor. And the clean mouth tastes far, far worse. Pepsodent's new flavor. Pepsodent's new flavor. Lever Brothers Company. Makers of Luxe toilet soap and Luxe liquid detergent. Invite you to be with us again next Monday evening when the Luxe Radio Theatre presents The Winslow Boy. Starring Ray Malan, Dorothy McGuire and Brianna Hurden. This is Irving Cunning saying good night to you from Hollywood. Ferdinand cast tonight were Yvonne Patey as Harriet, Forrest Lewis as Mr. Blaisdell, Joe Kerns as Norton, Rusty Morris as Carl Pennock, Issa Ashton as Roberta, Ken Christie as the Judge, Joel Marston as Howard, Pert Butterfield as Mr. Pennock, Earl Lee as Fred, and Peter Rankin, Jack Edwards and Eddie Maher.
