1:19:02
What was it you used to call him?
1:19:05
- Smithy.
- As Smithy...
1:19:07
with all his emotion for you
as warm and intact as it was...
1:19:11
on the day he left you.
1:19:15
That's not much help to me, John, is it?
1:19:19
I'm real, these tears are real,
and my jealousy is real...
1:19:24
and my need of him.
1:19:27
Paula, I wish I could help you.
1:19:38
What will you do?
1:19:41
I don't know. I'll have to think it out.
1:19:45
- You go to your dinner.
- I'll call it off if you'll dine with me.
1:19:50
No, don't do that.
1:19:52
Dear John. Always firm, but kind.
1:19:57
Thank you for the hope.
1:20:00
That is rather nice of me,
seeing that it robs me of mine.
1:20:07
Good night, John.
1:20:13
The law is quite clear on that point,
Mrs. Smith.
1:20:17
If it is proved that for a period of
not less than seven years...
1:20:20
no news of a person has been received...
1:20:22
by those who would naturally hear of him
if he were alive...
1:20:25
then he may be legally presumed dead.
1:20:29
You wish me to take the necessary steps?
1:20:32
Please.
1:20:34
Now, to complete the particulars.
1:20:37
Did you prosecute a search?
1:20:41
Yes, we investigated accidents
that had occurred on that day.
1:20:44
- Without result?
- Yes.
1:20:48
Then I became seriously ill.
1:20:51
I was ill for many months. My baby died.
1:20:54
As soon as I could get about,
I made some effort to return to the stage...
1:20:58
but without success.
