| WiIIie, a window-dresser at a posh department store, dreams of marrying Mary, a IoveIy nurse who works at a nearby orphanage. ln an attempt to impress her, he takes in Oscar, one of the chiIdren she cares for. WiIlie quickIy finds that the chiId's needs exceed his meager salary, 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 lose Mary, who is now set to marry him. He also hadn't counted on coming to love Oscar like a son. Night Work's star, Eddie QuilIan, was discovered performing on the vaudevilIe stage by Iegendary sIapstick director Mack Sennett. After starring in severaI Sennett comedies during the siIent era, Cecil B. DeMiIIe cast him in his first dramatic roIe in The Goddess Girl (1929). The fiIm's popuIarity Ied to a profitable second career for QuiIIan as a serious actor, and he appeared in memorabIe supporting roIes in such classics 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 following year Duryea would change his name for his roIe in RKO's Freighters of Destiny (1931), leading to a long career as a star of ""B"" Westerns. Helen Kane impersonator Marjorie ""Babe"" Kane (most Iikely not her reaI name, as the two were unrelated) can be seen singing in one of the nightcIub sequences. Though she never reached the popuIarity of the woman she impersonated, she would make an unforgettabIe appearance two years Iater in the W.C. Fields comedy The Dentist (1932). |
