San Francisco Page #10

Synopsis: Mary Blake arrives at Blackie Norton's Paradise gambling hall and beer garden looking for work as a singer. Blackie embarrasses her by asking to see her legs, but does hire her. She faints from hunger. Nob Hill Socialite Jack Burley and Maestro Baldini of the Tivoli Opera House see her singing and offer her a chance to do opera, but Blackie has her under a two-year contract which she sorrowfully stands by. Later, when he makes up posters featuring Mary in tights, she does leave for the Tivoli. Blackie gets an injunction against Burley, but knocks out the process server when he hears Mary's performance as Marguerite in "Faust". She asks her to marry him and she agrees to go back to the Paradise as his kind of singer, but Blackie's childhood chum Father Tim intervenes. After Blackie slugs the priest, Mary leaves. She is soon the star of the Tivoli and Blackie's place is closed down. She sings a rousing "San Francisco" on behalf of the Paradise at the annual "Chicken Ball" and wins the $1

and God help you to find her, brother.

Better stand back

from that wreckage, neighbor.

I'm looking for the priest

that used to be here.

I think he's doing rescue work

at the stable down next to the car barns.

Thanks. Have you seen anything of a girl...

Sorry. I've just come down

from the Presidio.

All right.

Hiya, Blackie.

Hello, Mat.

The cops couldn't hold on to me.

I got away from them.

Did you? That's great.

Yeah. It took an earthquake to get me.

How are you making it?

I'll pull through. I'll be all right.

Sure. Sure you will.

Hey, Blackie...

I hear that Mary went on for you

at the Chicken's Ball.

I was wrong about her. She's a great kid.

She's all right.

Don't leave him.

There you are.

Now you're going to try to get some sleep,

aren't you?

- Yes.

- With your eyes open?

That's right.

Hello, Blackie.

Thanks, Tim.

That map of yours needs some attention.

Come on.

No, no, no. I'm all right.

You haven't found Mary yet, have you?

No.

Well, you can't want her for The Paradise,

Blackie. That's gone.

I wasn't thinking of The Paradise, Tim.

Wait a minute.

Come on, mug.

I'm going to take you to Mary.

You... Is she all right?

Yeah, she's all right.

You folks will have to be vaccinated.

It's for your own good.

Joe, will you take these people

over to the hospital tent?

Stiller my

song would be

Nearer

my God

to Thee

Nearer

my God

to Thee

Nearer

to Thee

Tim...

I want to thank God.

What do I say?

Just say what's in your heart, Blackie.

Thanks, God. Thanks.

I really mean it.

Fire's out! The fire's out!

The fire's out!

- The fire's out!

- The fire's out!

Come on, come on!

- The fire's out. The fire's out.

- Come on, come on! The fire's out.

We'll build a new San Francisco!

Hallelujah!

Of the coming of the Lord

He has trampled out the vintage

Where the Grapes of Wrath are stored

He has loosed the fateful lightning

Of his terrible, swift sword

His truth is marching on

He has sounded forth the trumpet

That shall never call retreat

He is sifting out the souls of men

Before his judgment-seat

O, be swift, my soul, to answer

And be jubilant, my feet

Our God is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah

Glory, glory, hallelujah

Glory, glory, hallelujah

His truth is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah

Glory, glory, hallelujah

Glory, glory

Hallelujah
