PINKUS'S SHOE PALACE

A COMEDY IN THREE ACTS

Directed by ERNST LUBITSCH

Sally, get up! You have to go to school!

I'll be late, but still early enough.

Sally, are you up?

I'm all dressed.

I guess I'm late.

I bet you overslept!

You win that bet, sir.

That's not high at all.

If you say so, sir!

AFTER SCHOOL

Oh, no — my old man!

SALLY STUDIES FOR A TEST

Studying hard, son?

And how!

THE TEST

Allow me to explain, sir.

I've been expelled from school.

They'll calm down.

A FEW MONTHS LATER Sally seeks employment.

SALLY PINKUS — NOT PROMOTED

BEHAVIOR —- POOR EFFORT — UNSATISFACTORY

LATIN — POOR MATH — FAIL

SINGING — VERY GOOD

APPRENTICE WANTED

I ain't interested in yer schoolin'.

I got a great job.

I won't wait on this customer.

SATURDAY THE 25TH

And for this I had to study Latin.

"Nice-looking young man with managerial experience

in leading shoe shop seeks similar employment.

Top-quality shops only need reply.

All others go straight into the wastebasket."

Perhaps you should leave the office supplies here.

"Dear Sir, please visit us for a job interview.

Sincerely yours, Herr Meyersohn."

I need money for a new suit.

THE NEXT DAY

Good luck to me!

Sally lays it on thick.
