The Pleasure Garden

---

The highly popular revues

at the Pleasure Garden Theater

are staged by Mr. Hamilton

...George Snell

smoking prohibited

That's an exquisite chorus

line, Mr. Hamilton

Meet patsy Brand

...Virginia Valli

I had to meet you because I

was charmed by that lovely

curl of hair.

Then I give it to you and

hope you have a nice time

Now, yhat wasn't a very

clever line, was it?

I'm Jill Cheyne, and I have

a letter of introduction to

Mr. Hamilton

...Carmelita Geraghty

... that was all the money

I had, and now I don't know

what to do!

Well, you can stay with me,

and tomorrow I'll take you

in to see Mr. Hamilton

This is my fiance back home.

I was getting nowhere, keeping

company to an old lady out in the

country.

I went to the theater straight

from the station

Did you expect him to hire

you just like that, with the cab waiting?

The man who gave me the letter

said he was a good friend of

Hamilton's, so I thought...

Well, don't worry about it,

luckily you have me to take

care of you.

The Entire Company to be on stage for

full rehearsal tomorrow, wednesday,

June 5th. at 11 a.m. Sharp

Stage Manager

Take a chance, Mr. Hamilton,

and I'll show you some real

hot steps!

No, I haven't danced anywhere

professionally

Folks, I have a great artist

here, who has never been on

stage in her life but is sure

she can show us how to dance.

Just anything in the charleston

line will do.

I hate to admit it but you're

pretty good. How's five pounds

a week?

You know I'm better than that.

I'll take twenty to start.

Patsy, Miss Jill's fiance

is here.

You must be the roommate, Patsy!

Jill was written me how nice

you've been to her. I'm Hugh

Fieldding.

Sorry Jill isn't in right now,

she's trying on a costume for

the new revue.

At Hamilton's apartment

Let's not have any suggestions

like that...

...until I have my own place

I could invite you to!

My company is sending me to

the plantation overseas for

two years - but after that I'll

have enough to marry, and

Jill has promissed to wait.

Patsy, I asked Mr.Levet

to pick me up here. We work

for the same outfit.

Miles Mander

In fact, Levet is already

stationed out here, and is

here for a two-month furlough.

We'll be working on the same

plantation.

You have no idea, Miss Brand,

how empty and lonely life out there...

Do you believe in love?

Her number's coming up next!

I'm so lucky to have a terrific

girl for a fiancee!

May you have not only fame,

Jill, but also happiness!

This is Prince Ivan, Jill.

He wants to congratulate you

in person.

It is a rare pleasure to watch

you perform, and I intend to

indulge myself often.

I know how you feel, Hugh,

but I'll steer her away from

these stage-door tomcats

if I can.

I'm afraid poor Hugh has

a rather dewy-eyed conception

of his childhood sweetheart.

Soon after Hugh's departure

overseas, Jill took a step

up in the theatrical world.

Dear Paley

I am so sorry to

leave you so soon but

I have had the

opportunity to take a

tiny furuislud flat for

myself, because you will

value that I couldn't

stay in cheap lodgings

I am nearly a slave

Jill

Midfull of her promise to

Hugh, Patsy makes a last

attempt to straighten out

Jill.

Aren't you afraid of your

reputation as a kept woman?

I cannot stand by and watch

you throw yourself away like

this...

...especially with a fine

man like Hugh waiting for you!

Would you believe it, Prince,

one of my casual friends form

the chorus is trying to run

my life!

I'm worried about Jill, Mr.

Levet. I promised to keep

her out of danger, and now

she's fooling around with

that phony Prince.

I wouldn't woory, Patsy, that

girl knows exactly what

she's doing - and she likes it.

Odd, isn't it - he never

barked at Hugh.

Maybe because he had no reason

to be jealous of Hugh

I've got to nahd it to Jill -

she'll make that fool marry

her yet, I bet!

Patsy - I have only a short

time here - can't we share

our loneliness together?

There's a month left before

I have to go back out there

for two years. What do you

say?

If you are proposing, then

my answer is Yes. I have

come to love you in the last

few weeks.

I'd like to, Patsy, but it

really wouldn't be fair to

you.

My position with the firm is

no such that they'd let me

take a wife out there.

I'll be glad to keep working

and wait - as Mrs.Levet!

And I know you'll work your

way up so you can send for me

very soon.

...and he fixed it up so

we can get married the day

after tomorrow!

For a honeymoon, he's taking

me to Italy!

I'm so happy!

The day of the wedding.

Sorry, Cuddles - I can't

take you with me, but I'll

be back in a month.

Honeymooning at Lake Como.

I asked God to grant us

a happy life life together.

Don't let these thieving

little brats make a fool

of you!

You threw away the rose

I gave you.

Had to - it had wilted.

Glad to see you again, old

chap. Tell me about Jill.

Sorry but, to tell you the

truth, I didn't see her since

she moved to her own place.

Still working at the Pleasure

Garden, Patsy now lives for but

one thing ... the first letter

from her husband.

Stop worrying so much - you

can find a girl just as

good or better anywhere.

Dear patsy,

...

...

I must go to him - he's sick

and my place is with him.

Jill, all I ask is enough

money to pay my fare out there.

Can't do, patsy - I'm spending

everthing on my trousseau.

The Prince and I will be

married soon.

How about Hugh's engagement

ring, then - surely you won't

need that now!

She's marrying the Prince

and wouldn't lend me a penny!

You must be crazy if you

think I could ever stay with

you after this!

You filthy animal!

You're my wife - so you've

got to stay with me!

Please take me away from

here - this man's crazy!

Listen, maybe you can help

nurse his friend, who's down

with the fever, until you

have to catch your next

boat.

Poor Hugh, I'll stay with

you until you get well!

Jill, my darling ... so

good of you to come!

How about a kiss, sweetheart?

Patsy! It's you!

What happened?

That's my wife you're fooling

around with, Hugh - and you'll

pay for it!

You'd better come back,

unless you want to see him

with his head bashed in!

I can't let him go on

like this while he's out of

his mind. I'll go with him

for now but will return as

soon as I can.

Get away from me - my wife's

here now. I don't need you

any more!

She wants me to use the sword -

she won't let me rest until

I've killed you, too!

Hugh told me what happened.

I'm having him brought in.

Don't thank me, Patsy -

just seeing you saved my

life, and I'm simply paying

you back.

I'm sorry that Jill's

turned out no good -

I hope you'll get over

her, as I must try to

get over this...

You're the only woman for

me now, Patsy - I was blind

not to see it before!

Coming home, Patsy

How do you like that -

Cuddles knew all the time!

The End
