Starring: Sally O’Neil, Johnny Mack Brown, Clyde Cook
Directed by: Melville W. Brown

Synopsis: Barry Holmes (Johnny Mack Brown) is a struggling songwriter who is fortunate to meet his neighbor, singer Ruth Morgan (Sally O’Neil) who happens to be working for a song publishing company.

Cat Burglar (Scene Stealer): The first scene of the film shows nightwatchman Max Langley (Clyde Cook) returning home to the apartment building he manages with his wife.  As he walks down the street he spies a black and white tuxedo cat and pets the kitty.

Max calls for the cat to follow him, which the adorable animal does.

When they reach the front of the building the cat starts to lose its mark and wander away.  Actor Cook does a good job of recovering the scene by walking over to the cat to pet it again, then picking it up and carrying it up the steps.

The cat climbs onto Max’s shoulders as the man picks up a bottle of milk which has been delivered.

Max pours some milk into a container for the cat and then stands over him a moment with satisfaction before going inside.

Final Mewsings: How can you not love a man who treats a cat with so much affection?
