Torch Singer Page #6

Synopsis: Sally Trent has an illegitimate child, but cannot support her and gives the baby up for adoption. The father, Michael Gardner, leaves for China not knowing about the baby, and she assumes he has abandoned her for life. She gets a job as a torch singer, changes her name to Mimi Benton, and becomes notorious for her drinking and philadering. Mimi fills in on a children's radio program as the character "Aunt Jenny," singing and telling bedtime stories, and eventually uses the airtime to find her long lost daughter, part with her wild lifestyle, and reunite with Michael.

as soon as

the broadcast is over?

The number is

Murray Hill, 29969.

I have such

a lovely doll to send,

but I must have the address.

Are you sure you have

the number, darling?

Murray Hill, 29969.

And now,

good night, my dears.

Aunt Jenny is so glad

to be back with you once more.

That's all for tonight,

boys and girls.

I know that you

are all glad to have

Aunt Jenny back

with you once more.

So be sure, children, to

tune in tomorrow at this hour

for Aunt Jenny and

her Oatina program.

Take it easy, Mimi.

Give me a cigarette, Tony.

I wonder why

she doesn't phone.

She'll phone, dear.

Maybe she won't.

Maybe she's sick!

Or she hasn't had

time to call, dear.

Hello?

What?

What number do you want?

No, wrong number.

Now, now... Tony, what if

she wasn't listening in?

No, I'm sure she was

listening in. She was?

Now, be patient, darling.

Hello.

Yeah?

Hello?

Yes, darling.

Is this Sally?

Now tell Aunt Jenny

where you live.

No, no,

wait a minute, darling.

I didn't hear you.

Now, say it again,

very slowly, will you?

85 East...

Do you think

you'll be all right?

Sure.

Good luck.

Hello, Daddy.

Isn't it time little girls

were getting ready for bed?

Not yet, Daddy.

Do you know, the most wonderfulest

thing happened to me today.

You could never guess.

Come on, tell me.

Aunt Jenny's coming to this

house specially to see me.

Aunt Jenny?

Beg pardon, sir, Aunt Jenny

is here to see Miss Sally.

Daddy, you can go bring her

in while I fix my children.

All right.

Sally!

Well, I guess

the joke's on me.

I don't know what miracle's

brought you here

or what all this Aunt Jenny business

is, but now that you are here,

I'm not going

to let you go.

It's no use, Mike. I

didn't come here to see you.

Forget me. There's a kid in

there who's waiting to see you.

Don't disappoint her.

Mike!

Yes.

She's been here a week now.

She belongs to me.

I want to see her.

Are you Aunt Jenny?

Yes, darling.

Hello, Aunt Jenny.

I'm Sally.

Hello, Sally.

Don't cry, Aunt Jenny.

This is my birthday.

Aren't you going to kiss me?

Yes, darling.

Look, look at what Aunt Jenny

brought you, darling.

She's beautiful!

Thank you, Aunt Jenny.

Sally. Sally, dear!

I'm coming.

Miss Thomas!

Look, Miss Thomas!

Aunt Jenny brought me

the most beautifulest doll!

Isn't that nice?

Come on, darling.

We go to bed.

Goodbye, Aunt Jenny.

Goodbye, darling.

Isn't she lovely?

She's adorable,

no thanks to me.

No thanks to either of us.

Don't go, darling. I've

got so much to say to you.

There's someone out

there waiting for me.

But I must talk to you.

The maid says Michael

Gardner lives there, sir.

The club.

Yes, sir.

So you see, darling,

she needs both of us.

I'll be the best

father to her I can,

but I couldn't possibly

be a mother to her.

Could I?
