Overview

Sisters Ruth and Eileen Sherwood move from Ohio to New York in the hopes of building their careers. Ruth wants to get a job as a writer, while Eileen hopes to succeed on the stage.

00:01:20 -Your kid sister? -My sister Eileen.

00:04:22 Nice piece of writing anyway, Ruth. You're getting better and better.

00:07:38 -We're late now. We'll never make that bus. -We'll be on it. I've arranged everything.

00:11:40 What more could a young person with a typewriter want?

00:15:17 But does it go on all the time? No, no, they knock off at midnight

00:21:32 Yeah, we just moved in today.

00:26:28 Well, there are many more magazines that I liked a lot better.

00:30:48 -But did you get in to see Mr. Wallace, dear? -Well, no.

00:34:42 Make him go away, Ruth.

00:49:29 Well, about all those people.

00:54:25 Nice job. I didn't think Columbus had it in her.

00:58:10 Hello, girls. I'm Effie. I dropped in on you the other night, remember?

01:02:23 -Didn't you take it? -I didn't even notice it was gone.

01:09:49 and how it was sub-rosa slipped under my door?

01:15:10 Ruth!

01:19:50 -That's terrific. -That's fine.
