The second is a classified ad for the Peach Tree Inn, a nightspot that aims to be the snappiest roadhouse this side of Monte Carlo. The Peach Trees ad seeks a female hostess and dancer A Good Future For A Girl With A Past.Mary applies for the job. To help cinch the deal, Mary tells Peach Tree manager Larry McKean William V. Mong that shes really Gloria du Moine. Larry asks her why shes dressed so shabbily. Mary replies that her servant absconded with all of her clothing, leaving her to wear the servants clothes. ........
