The ups and downs in the lives and careers of a group of ambitious young actresses and show girls from disparate backgrounds brought together in a theatrical hostel.

00:01:49 - Do you have to do that? - Pipe down.

00:04:55 That's too bad. Let's all go on relief and get it over with.

00:08:06 What's that?

00:11:35 Maybe she's a social worker doing a little slumming.

00:14:58 If your cat ever turns up missing around dinnertime...

00:18:07 I tried that once, but it didn't snap back into place.
