Star of Midnight Page #10

Synopsis: Friend Tim Winthrop asks criminal lawyer and amateur detective Clay Dalzell to find his girl, Alice, who disappeared a year earlier without a trace. When they go to the theater with Clay's would-be fiancée, Donna Mantin, Tim recognizes the star, Mary Smith, as his girl, and yells "Alice," after which she bolts from the stage and disappears once again. Reporter Tommy Tennant knows why she bolted, but before he can tell Clay the reason, he is shot dead and Clay is wounded slightly in Clay's apartment. The many suspects include Roger Classon and his wife, Jerry, who are looking for Alice to testify and save Roger's friend from the electric chair for a murder he didn't commit; Abe Ohlman, the producer of Mary's show; and gangster Jimmy Kinland who seems to know more than he's telling. It's up to Clay, with the help of Donna, to trap the murderer and find Alice.

Dal, you took the words

right out of my mouth.

Dal.

Where's Alice?

What's happened to her?

Oh, Tim,

I'm so sorry.

W-where is she, dal?

Where is she?

I've been waiting

and waiting.

I know. Tim, I didn't mean

to worry you.

Now, I think you'd better

run along with the inspector.

Oh, this is the fella?

Come along, son.

But what for?

W-where is she, dal?

She's at

the inspector's house.

Dal, you didn't find her?

Sure.

Well, it may not have been

a big wedding,

But it certainly was

a noisy one.

And I think

they ought to be very happy.

I like Tim, and I think Alice

is a very nice girl.

Very.

I'm glad we found her.

By the way,

how did we find her?

Well, don't you remember?

The villain had tied her

to the subway tracks.

Just then, the Bronx express

came thundering through...

Now, dal, stop clowning.

I asked you a serious question.

And you'll get

a serious answer.

Now, look...

If you earned $1,500 a week,

What would you do with it?

Spend it.

That's right.

You would.

But she didn't.

She put it in the bank.

Well?

Shh.

To open a bank account,

you have to give a name.

Well?

When you give a name,

even though it isn't your own,

You have to give

an address.

Well?

Well?

Was it as simple

as that?

It was as simple

as that.

Dal, you're wonderful.

Donna,

that's common gossip.

To the newlyweds.

To the newlyweds.

Bottoms up.

Well, I don't know

what you're going to do,

But I'm going to bed.

Oh, dal,

I've forgotten something.

Yes? What?

Hello? Daddy?

I-I won't be home tonight.

No. I'm staying at dal's.

Yes?

Yes, daddy.

Yes.

Yes, of course

it's all right.

We were married

this afternoon.
