started, the charity ward,
and signed her away
just like that.
Well, where is this place?
You'd like to know,
wouldn't you?
I've got to know!
Well, make the rounds.
That's what Ihad to do before I
found one that would take me in.
I'm sorry, Sally.
I've made a lot
of rotten mistakes,
but I'm trying to
make up for them.
got back was to try and find you.
I didn't expect
you to believe me,
but I did hope that
you'd meet me halfway.
You've changed, all right.
You're selfish, hard.
Sure I am.
Just like glass.
So hard nothing will
cut it but diamonds.
fistful, maybe we can get together.
I don't see how you could
have done it, Aunt Agatha.
But this girl had no means
of proving her claim.
How was I to know... You
could have taken a chance.
That having failed, at least
I'm glad I didn't. A girl like this
Sally Trent would have ruined your life.
I was in a position to save
you, and I thank heaven for it.
That's fine.
The next time you go
in for rescue work,
pick out someone
who wants to be saved.
I don't.
I love Sally Trent,
and I'm going to win her back.
And I'm sending you a Sally
doll for your birthday.
With love and best wishes,
Aunt Jenny.
Is that your last one?
Yes, Miss Benton.
Excuse me, Miss Benton, but
Mr. Cummings is on the wire.
Well, you take the message,
Carrie. I'm busy.
Did you call
the express company?
Yes, Miss Benton. They'll be here
the first thing in the morning.
Good. All right, girls, finish what
you're doing and we'll call it a day.
Excuse me. Mr. Seymour from
Have him come in, please.
All right.
Hello, Mr. Seymour.
How do you do?
I've been waiting for you.
Have you got some
good news for me?
Here's your check from
the charity hospital.
What's the matter with it?
Mother Angelica won't take
any more of your money.
She says they're always glad
to have freewill offerings,
but she can't take bribes.
I can't go on taking your
money, either, Miss Benton.
Why not? I'm not
bribing you, am I?
I'm not saying you are, but
I can't help you anymore, see?
You haven't tried
very hard, I imagine.
I don't lay down on
any job, Miss Benton.
I haven't got
a ghost of a chance.
What do you mean?
I've turned this
town upside down,
and there's not
a trace of your child.
How do you know
she's in New York?
For all we know, she may be
in another part of the world.
For all you know,
she may even be dead.
Thanks for reminding me.
I didn't mean it that way.
I owe you
a week's salary, don't I?
You don't owe me anything.
Yes, I do.
Good night.
I'm sorry.
For all you know,
she may be dead.
Maybe he's right.
Aunt Jenny!
Bedtime stories!
What a laugh!
Carrie, give me a drink.
No, no, get me
What are you
going to do, honey?
I'm going places!
Atta baby!
Little boys and
girls of Radioland,
I have some bad news
for you again.
It isn't likely that
Aunt Jenny will be here
to talk to you tonight at
5:
00 as she is still ill.However, we have
every hope that tomorrow
she will be
with us once more.
You don't seem to
realize, my dear Julia,
that if Miss Benton
continues to hide herself
we'll simply have to abandon
the Oatina program.
very strange, Mr. Cummings,
that you can't find someone
else to take this woman's place.
My dear Mrs. Judson,
I have had 100 women up here
the last three days,
each one worse
than the one before.
There's only one Mimi Benton.
Well, that's something
to be grateful for!
much worse than we need her.
She's trying to make every
effort to find her child.
You know this Sally
birthday doll idea?
Why, only this morning, we received
a letter from a child which...
Well, it's too disgusting!
To think of that
disreputable woman
America's dear little kiddies!
Rats!
She's an evil influence
invading a million decent homes!
More rats!
How would you like to have
such a creature in your home?
I'd love nothing better!
Yes?
Speaking. What?
They've found her. Where?
185 East. Certainly, I'll be
right over. You stay right there.
Okay.
Come on, Juddy.
Andrew Judson!
Are you going in search
of that dreadful woman?
Yes! And if I thought you'd be of
any earthly use, I'd drag you along.
What?
You don't know your luck.
That new mink coat you
have on, Mimi Benton.
Those diamond earrings,
Mimi Benton.
And if you want
to know the truth,
that dreadful woman
is all but keeping you!
Hello, Mimi.
Hi, Tony.
Sit down and have a drink.
Mimi, let's get out of here.
No.
What for?
Well, I don't
like this place.
That's right.
It's a terrible joint.
I know a swell
place over on...
You know, over on...
We'll ride around,
we'll we find it.
All right.
Who's this guy that's
got his arm around me?
That's Mr. Judson.
I think he's drunk.
I want to sit down.
Mimi, dear,
we've got to get you home.
What's the big idea? We've
got all day, haven't we?
What's the big idea?
Listen, dear,
I have a letter here.
I know some letters.
"A," "B," "C... "
No, but listen. This letter is
from a little girl named Sally.
Sally who?
Well, it's her birthday,
September 2nd.
It may be your little Sally.
September 2nd.
My Sally.
Come on, Mimi dear.
Pull yourself together.
You've got a broadcast
in less than an hour.
Yeah.
Yeah, I gotta.
Yeah. Come on, Tony.
Yeah.
Taxi.
Miss Benton, honey,
Carrie's brought you
some nice, hot, black coffee.
Take just one little sip,
won't you, honey?
I don't want coffee.
She'll never make it.
Oh, yeah?
What do you know about it?
Good evening,
little children of Radioland.
Have you had
your Oatina today?
This evening your
Aunt Elizabeth will...
Miss Spaulding,
just half a second, please.
How much time
have we got, Harry?
About a minute. All
right. Fine. Hold it.
Give me that, Carrie.
I'll take care of her.
Mimi, listen to me, dear.
Mimi, you're due on
the air any minute.
Come on,
pull yourself together.
Mimi, you said you'd never
let me down. Now, come on.
I'm trying.
Mr. Cummings,
we're due on the air.
All right, Harry.
Ready, Miss Spaulding.
Little boys and
girls of Radioland,
I'm sorry to keep disappointing
you about Aunt Jenny.
microphone to her bedside,
but the doctor
refused to allow it.
However,
I have a pleasant
surprise for you.
Your Aunt...
Your...
Your Aunt Jenny speaking.
I couldn't bear to be
away from you any longer,
so as soon as
the doctor left,
I got out of bed,
and here I am.
Yes, darlings.
I've been ill,
so I can't talk to you very
long, but before I say good night,
I want to wish a happy, happy
birthday to a little girl named Sally,
whose birthday
is September 2nd.
I have her letter here,
but there's no address.
Won't Sally please
call me on the telephone
