00:00♪♪♪
00:21Let's spend the day with the average working girl.
00:25Maisie is due at the office at 8.30.
00:28She has the alarm set for 8.25.
00:31That gives her exactly 5 minutes to take a shower,
00:35get dressed, fix her hair,
00:39have her breakfast, take a bus,
00:42and arrive at the office.
00:44Let's get back to Maisie and see what happens.
00:48There's the bell, and there goes Maisie!
00:51It's a fast break and Maisie leads a feel around the far turn.
00:54She reaches the bathroom and overtakes the shower by two lengths.
00:57It's Maisie by one as she passes the clubhouse turn.
01:00In a steady drive, saves ground and brushes her teeth.
01:03Heading down the backstretch, staying close to the rail,
01:06Maisie slips into a slip, and now she heads down the backstretch of her neck
01:10and ties her hair into a careful knot.
01:12She shows great form and grace as she steadily keeps her pace.
01:16A dab of this and a dab of that, a dash of this and a dash of that.
01:20And Maisie looks like, well, there she goes in a steady drive.
01:24And now she's back, still keeping her pace with indigestion.
01:27She drives on with donuts and coffee.
01:29The bus takes the lead.
01:31It's pulling away and Maisie falls back by six lengths
01:34as she passes the three-quarter pole.
01:36As the bus comes thundering down the backstretch,
01:38Maisie goes to the whip!
01:40It's Maisie by two, it's Maisie by one,
01:42by a neck, a nose, and she makes it!
01:47And now Maisie takes the lead again.
01:50Heading down the homestretch,
01:52she steadily increases her stride as she enters the elevator.
01:55Six, twelve, seventeen lengths in the lead,
01:58and now she's losing ground.
02:00Keep going, Maisie, don't give up!
02:02It's going to be a driving finish!
02:04It's one minute to 8.30, and here comes Maisie!
02:10Well, that was a close finish.
02:13And now Maisie is getting ready for a hard day's work.
02:20As Maisie toils away, the hours pass very slowly.
02:24It's now 12 o'clock,
02:27and Maisie stops at the corner drugstore to have her lunch.
02:33After lunch, we see Maisie back at the office,
02:36continuing her daily struggle until 5.30.
02:42It's 5.30, Maisie!
02:47And now the scene changes to a millinery shop on Fifth Avenue.
02:53Here we find Maisie trying on some new hats.
02:57How about this one?
02:59No, no, no, that won't do.
03:01Hmm, too big.
03:03Chapeau a la mode?
03:06Something from Paris, very becoming.
03:09The peekaboo model.
03:11You don't care for it?
03:13The droopy ear model.
03:16Princess Eugenie's convertible snood.
03:19How about a night in Venice?
03:22Moonlight sonata.
03:24Sea biscuit model.
03:27The Venetian garden.
03:30Right turn model.
03:32Or perhaps a left turn.
03:35Sports model.
03:37This one? Or this? Here's one.
03:40The snug chin violature.
03:42Perhaps this? Very becoming. No?
03:44Care for this?
03:46How about a jackpot?
03:50How about that one?
03:52Oh, that one is made to order.
03:55Hat designing department. Call for model 36.
03:59Call for model 36. Call for model 36.
04:03We now visit the hat designing department.
04:05Here we see the women's hat designers
04:08comfortably working in their padded cells.
04:27Call for model 36. Call for model 36.
04:35Call for model 36. Call for model 36.

05:58Ignorant!
06:00Magnificent!
06:01And so Maisie buys the hat.
06:05Here we see Maisie promenading on the boulevard, proudly wearing her new bonnet.
06:11Hats, hats, hats. Hats to the right of us, hats to the left of us.
06:16Let's pause a moment and pay tribute to those unsung heroes, those forgotten men, our hat designers.
06:27These geniuses of the headgear were once happy, carefree, normal men, even as you and I.
06:33They've sacrificed their lives for the things and stuff the fair sex put on top of their heads.
06:38They've given everything, their homes, their families, their futures, their lives.
06:44For what? For this, a woman's hat.
07:03Hats, hats, hats.
