Monday, July 12 - Cheer Up

Cheer Up (1936)

Stanley Lupino and Roddy Highes have written a musical play, been thrown out of every theatrical office in the city and are stone cold broke. Sally Gray -- whose character's name is Sally Gray -- can't even get an audition and is likewise stony. So is the kindly couple who take her in. Fortunately, she comes up with the idea of turning their home into a hotel. When she is at another hotel talking it up for prospective guests, she is accosted, and is rescued by Lupino. This causes an agent to look her up and offer to bankroll her until she has a paying career; the report is that Wilfrid Harman, the son of the biggest backer of plays rescued her. When she runs into Lupino, she thinks he's Wilfrid Harman and he thinks she's the answer to his dreams in every way.
