Why this is, I do not know, but this is the way Little Manuel is. Capra's first choices for Apple Annie and Henry D. Blake, Marie Dressler and W.C. Fields, could not be cast for the same reason.

Still, I hear the old judge does himself proud, with his kissing Madame La Gimps baby plenty, and duking the proud old Spanish nobleman, and his wife, and son, and giving Madame La Gimps sister a good strong hug that squeezes her tongue out. I can see there is no sense in me horning in on Madame La Gimp and Judge Henry G. Blake while they are cutting up old touches in this manner, so I think I will just say good-bye to the young people and let it go at that, but while I am looking for Madame La Gimps baby, and her guy, I run into Dave the Dude.

Blake says, being aristocratic will come natural to him. It's not bad, but the scriptwriters for the movie "Lady for a Day" did a bang-up job improving their source material, and providing better rationales for what motivates a crew of mobsters to all come together to pretend Madame la Gimp (Apple Annie in the movie), washed-up Broadway dancer and seller of day-old newspapers and flowers purloined from cemeteries, is a wealthy society matron, so her daughter can marry the son of a Spanish count.

Emerson is now in town and is a strong booster for the party, as he wishes to drink of some of the good champagne he has planted in his apartment. It seems Madame La Gimp does a little scrubbing business around a swell apartment hotel on Park Avenue that is called the Marberry, and she cops stationery there and writes her baby in Spain on this stationery, saying this is where she lives, and how rich and aristocratic her husband is.

The morning they go to meet the boat is the first time Judge Henry G.
