All language subtitles for It - 1927

"IT" is that quality
possessed by some...

which draws all others
with its magnetic force.

With "IT" you win all men
if you are a woman -

and all women
if you are a man.

"IT" can be a quality of the mind
as well as a physical attraction.
Elinor Glyn [signature]

WALTHAM
THE BIGGEST STORE
IN THE WORLD

Leaving his department store
to his son, Cyrus P. Waltham...

has gone to Herrin, Illinois,
for the shooting.

"A gentleman to see you, sir."

Good luck

"For a good boy - on
his first work day."

"If you ever go to work, Monty,
I'll do as much for you."

"IT" by Elinor Glyn

"IT" is that peculiar
attribute that some people have,

which attracts the opposite sex.
The possessor of "IT" has it

unconsciously and has
irresistible sexual magnetism.

Mothers spoil boys with "IT",
and women never refuse them!

"Old fruit, you've got 'IT'!"

"What the devil are you doing?"

"No - too bad - but you
haven't any 'IT'!"

"Run away, Monty, the
keepers are coming."

"I'm to look over the
store. Come along."

"Hot socks -
the new boss!"

"Sweet Santa Claus,
give me him!"

"Let's have a double wedding -
you and him - and me and
the Prince of Wales!"

"Where do you figure?
The Prince is going to
be our best man!"

"I've inspected all the lady
employees - and not
one of them has 'IT'!"

"You went over big, dearie!"

"Just you wait - I'll take
the snap out of your
garters yet!"

"Look! If I ever saw 'IT',
that's 'IT'!"

"Shall we gnaw a chop
at the club tonight?"

"Thanks, but I have an
engagement at the Ritz."

"Could I - is it asking too much -
would it be possible for me to -
to drive you home?"

"I'd be very glad to go
with you - if you'd
ride in my car."

Betty lived in that fashionable
downtown suburb -
Gas-house Gables -

"Would - could - do
you ever dine?"

"I'd love to -"

"- at the Ritz!"

"Shall we dress?"

"Of course - how absurd!"

"Then I'll pop around
at eight?"

"Toodles is hungry."

"The doctor says I can't go back
to the store for a month - and
I can't let you do any more for me."

"Don't be sill, Molly! I
won't go back on a pal!"

"That pest of a landlady
and her friend just left.

The baby shouldn't do this -
and I shouldn't do that -"

"If this was my baby,
I'd tell 'em where to head in!"

"I'm dining out tonight
- at the Ritz!"

Every evening in America, eighteen
million blondes prepare to dine with
gentlemen. One of the eighteen million -

"Mother, would you approve of
my being Mrs. Cyrus T. Waltham?"

"He hasn't proposed yet
- but he's going to!"

"Mademoiselle's car
is without."

"A nice, quiet table -
in the corner, Mr. Montgomery?"

"I don't crave this table.
When I'm in the swim,
I want to be with the goldfish!"

"I'll take the same!"

"Who is the girl with Monty?"

"I don't know - but isn't
she attractive?"

"Who's the blonde with
Mr. Waltham?"

"Adela Van Norman - they've
been friends for years. Some day
they'll marry and end it all."

"Of course you're reading
Elinor Glyn's latest story, 'IT'?"

"Monty was raving about
it today. What is 'IT'?"

"Here's Elinor Glyn herself!
Let's ask her to tell us
something about 'IT'."

"Madame Glyn, we've been talking
about your latest story.
Just what is this 'IT'?"

"Self-confidence and indifference
as to whether you are pleasing
or not -

and something in you that
gives the impression that
you are not at all cold. That's 'IT'!"

"If you have 'IT', you
will win the girl you love."

"Cyrus, do you
believe in 'IT'?"

"I certainly do!"

"I'm going to get my wish!"

"Oh, I must telephone!"

"Who is that charming
girl with you?"

"This is a great pleasure."

"I'll bet you won't even
recognize me, the next
time we meet."

"I'll take the bet -
and you can name the stakes."

In a shopgirl's day, the first
thousand customers
are the crabbiest.

"She always takes goods on approval -
wears them around for six months -
and then finds she doesn't approve!"

"- and the girl insulted me!"

"See that the garment is
replaced - and send the
salesgirl to my office."

"Young lady, in this store
the customer is always right -"

"I'm the salesgirl!
Go on - bawl me out!"

"Well, anyway, I lose the
bet for not recognizing
you. What's the forfeit?"

"Oh, that wasn't a real bet.
I don't want anything -"

"Thanks, Adela, I'll be
very happy to dine
with you tonight."

"If you insist on paying
your bet, you can take
me out tonight."

"All right! Where?"

"Let's go to the beach -
and do it up right!"

HOT DOGS!
Tasty and satisfying!
The best on the beach!

House of Amusements

"Hold me tight,
Mr. Waltham."

"Happy?"

"So you're one of those
Minute Men -

the minute you know a girl you
think you can kiss her!"

Poverty is no disgrace --
until meddling
neighbors hear of it.

"There's no use arguing!
We're going to take that baby
to the Home, until you're well!"

"Get that story."

"If women like you would
stay home and

have babies of your own,
we'd all be better off!"

"We're doing our duty.
The mother is ill - and
she has no means of support."

"This is my baby!"

"I don't believe it."

"I'm the baby's mother -
I'm not sick - and I've got
a job! Laugh that off!"

"Haven't I a job, Monty -
at Waltham's? Tell 'em!"

"Is that
the baby's father?"

"Him? He couldn't even
give birth to a suspicion!"

"Who is your husband?
Have you a husband?"

"None of your business!"

"I say, Betty, this isn't
really your child, is it?"

"Are you blind? Can't you
see the resemblance?"

...forgive me for last
night, Betty, and come to
the theater with me tonight?

I promise not to make
the same mistake

"I have tashted the milk
of human kindnesh -
an' it's a lot of Fermillac!"

"B'lieve it or not -
my baby is its mother!"

The young mother fights
hard for her baby,

like a tigress in the sand
confronting social workers.

A sharp-dressed man of the
city declared that the girl

had means enough and was able
to keep all the obligations

"I'm the chappie -
the man about town -
I'm the ample means!"

"We are investigating the
case of a girl who says
she's employed here -"

"- she - she -
there's a baby."

"She gave the name
of Betty Lou Spence."

The young mother clutched the
little boy to her chest and defied
all who tried to take the child.

"Thank you. You see, we
had to verify her story."

"She's the one. She told
me it's her baby - told
me with her own lipsh!"

"Will you issue the bonus
checks now, Mr. Waltham?"

"Are you mad at me
because I slapped you?"

"I'm sorry - but a girl
has to do that.
You know how those things are!"

"Let's forget it.
We've got each other
straight now, haven't we?"

"Yes - we have!"

"It's a star sapphire."

"It's pretty - but
I like diamonds better."

"Would you like some
diamonds for yourself?"

"Betty, I'm crazy
about you -"

"I love you, too."

"I'll buy you diamonds -
clothes - everything you want -"

"What are you trying to do?
Offer me one of those
left-hand arrangements?"

"I'm crazy about you!
Isn't that enough?"

"I suppose that's what
you men call love!"

"Cancel my appointments,
please. I'm leaving town
for a week."

Betty was too poor to quit
her job - and too proud
to stay. So she quit!

Woman Offered Job

"I - I've come to
forgive you."

"You don't mean you
thought the baby was
really mine?"

"There's its mother!
Can't you see the resemblance?"

"What a joke on Waltham -
I told him
it was your baby!"

"He thought it was mine?"

"And he wouldn't even give me
the benefit of the doubt!"

"I'll make him propose to me -
and when he does, I'll laugh
in his face! And you're
going to help me do it!"

"But - he's going on a
yachting cruise and -
and I'm going with him!"

"Fine! I'll yacht
with you."

"But, I say -
what about your clothes?"

"That's the joke on you -
you're going to buy them for me."

"Give me your word you won't
tell him - anything!"

"Is Mr. Waltham aboard?"

"Not yet, sir."

"The party's off. We
might as well go back."

"Oh no, sir! Mr. Waltham's
expecting you - he'll be
here any minute."

"Shall I show you to
your cabins?"

"Something I can get for
you, Mr. Montgomery?"

"No, thanks - I'm just
prowling about."

"Just going for some -
some - cigars."

"Everything ready, Captain?"

"Let's get under way."

"I'm not feeling so well."

"Tea, sir?"

"Feeling better, Monty?"

"I feel so low, old chap,
that I could get on stilts
and walk under a dachshund!"

"Shall I call Miss Van Cortland,
sir? She's in her cabin."

"I say, I almost forgot
about Miss Van Cortland."

"Miss Van Cortland - the -
the girl I asked when you
asked me to ask someone."

"Monty, who is Miss
Van Cortland?"

"You - you tell them,
old thing."

"She's a very nice girl. I -
I believe Monty met
her in Paris last summer."

"You idiot!
Who is this girl?"

"She's a ripping sort, really!
She's positively
topheavy with 'IT'."

"Oh, Monty, am I late for
tea? I'm so sorry."

"Mr. Waltham! It's been
years, hasn't it?"

"Won't you have
some tea?"

"Haven't I seen you
some place?"

"In Paris, perhaps.
I'm there so often."

"Desirez-vous du sucre?"

"What do you mean by
bringing her?"

"You know what sort she is -
with her fatherless child!"

"But, I say -
it isn't fatherless -"

"I won't have her on
board! We'll put back
to port."

"Do you think we'll have
as nice a day as this
all day, Captain?"

"That's the last time I'll
get you out of a scrape!"

"Miss Van Cortland seems
to be rather lacking in
reserve, doesn't she?"

"Personally, I think she
has plenty - in reserve!"

"Betty, I've something
to say to you."

"Won't it wait
until morning?"

"I've been thinking things
over, Betty. I want to
talk to you - seriously."

"Be serious - with you?
How silly!"

"I don't care what you've
been - I want you to
marry me!"

"I'd rather marry your
office boy!"

"He asked me - and I laughed at him -
and now it doesn't seem so
darned funny, after all!"

"It was a ghastly joke, old man -
her baby's just a moth -
I mean a myth!"

"It's her friend's baby!
And she's crying for you -
I mean Betty, not the baby -"

"But you said yourself
it was her baby -"

"Take the wheel, Monty
- I'm going to find her."

"The ballast has shifted
to port, sir - but there's
no danger!"

"Silly of me, but I'm afraid I
overdid it - made a left-hand
turn and what not -"

"Take your girl friend.
I had to knock her cold -
but maybe it'll do her good."

"Betty, where are you going?"

"I'm going home!"

"Monty will get you."

"Monty, I wonder if there's
anything between them?"

"I'm afraid there is."

"We're just a couple of
It-less 'ITS'!"
