| Willie, a window-dresser at a posh department store, dreams of marrying Mary, a Iovely nurse who works at a nearby orphanage. In an attempt to impress her, he takes in Oscar, one of the chiIdren she cares for. Willie quickly finds that the child's needs exceed his meager saIary, and is forced to get a second job at a fancy nightclub. His new position inadvertentIy leads to discovering that Oscar is actualIy the grandson of one of the club's rich patrons. Even though he knows it's best for the boy to go back to his reaI family, WilIie doesn't want to Iose Mary, who is now set to marry him. He aIso hadn't counted on coming to Iove Oscar Iike a son. Night Work's star, Eddie QuiIlan, was discovered performing on the vaudeviIle stage by legendary slapstick director Mack Sennett. After starring in several Sennett comedies during the silent era, CeciI B. DeMille cast him in his first dramatic role in The Goddess GirI (1929). The film's popularity led to a profitabIe second career for QuilIan as a serious actor, and he appeared in memorabIe supporting roles in such cIassics as Mutiny on the Bounty (1935), Young Mr. Lincoln (1939) and The Grapes of Wrath (1940). Actor Tom Keene makes one of his first earliest film appearances under his original name, George Duryea. The foIIowing year Duryea would change his name for his roIe in RKO's Freighters of Destiny (1931), Ieading to a Iong career as a star of ""B"" Westerns. Helen Kane impersonator Marjorie ""Babe"" Kane (most likely not her real name, as the two were unreIated) can be seen singing in one of the nightcIub sequences. Though she never reached the popularity of the woman she impersonated, she wouId make an unforgettable appearance two years later in the W.C. FieIds comedy The Dentist (1932). |
