Monday, May 2 - Traveling Saleslady

Traveling Saleslady (1935)

Angela Tritchell is the daughter of a tooth-paste manufacturer, Rufus K. Twitchell, who has monopolized the business for so many years that he has grown conservative and his rival has begin to cut into his sales. Angela wants to enter the business but he thinks women have no place in a man's world. An eccentric inventor, Elmer Niles, tries to interest Mr. Twitchell into his line of toothpaste with various cocktail flavors, but is shown the door. Angela sees the possibilities in the idea, sells it to her father's business rival under the stipulation she will go on the road for a year and sell the product. She steals her father's customers in a wholesale fashion right out from under the nose of her father's best salesman, Pat O,Connor, with whom she falls in love. But it's whoopee at night and all-business during the day. Claudette Ruggles, a drug-store owner, also has designs on O'Connor.
