CITY LIGHTS

"To the people of this city we donate this monument; 'Peace and Prosperity'."

Afternoon.

"Did you pick it up, sir?"

"Wait for your change, sir."

Evening.

"Grandma."

Night.

"Tomorrow the birds will sing."

"Be brave! Face life!"

"No, I'll end it all!"

"I'm cured. You're my friend for life."

"We'll go home and get warmed up."

"Any news?"

"Only that your wife sent for her baggage, sir."

"Good!"

"Here's to our friendship --"

"No, I'll live!"

"James - the Rolls-Royce. We'll burn up the town!"

Early morning; homeward bound.

"Be careful how you're driving."

"Am I driving?"

"I like your car."

"Then keep it, it's yours."

"Where's my friend?"

"Let him in, he's my guest!"

"Let's buy some flowers."

"Here's ten dollars."

"I haven't any change, sir."

"James!"

"Take these inside; I'll be right back."

"Thank you for your kindness, sir."

"May I see you home again?"

"Whenever you wish, sir."

The sober dawn awakens a different man.

"I'm out to everybody!"

"Whoever he is, get rid of him!"

"-- and then he brought me home in his car."

"He must be wealthy."

"Yes, but he's more than that."

That afternoon.

"My friend!"

"Come on home, I'll give you a swell party."

The party.

The morning after.

"I'm sailing at noon, so hurry!"

"She has a fever and needs careful attention."

Determined to help the girl, he found work.

FINAL NOTICE Madam: You are owing $22.00 rent.

Unless paid by tomorrow morning, we shall take possession.

"Grandma, he's coming today!"

"Grandma, what's wrong?"

"Grandma, I wish you'd meet him; you're never here when he calls."

Lunch time.

"Have you seen the soap?"
