Little Miss Broadway Quotes:
Miss Hutchins:
I'm sorry to say - or perhaps I shouldn't say sorry - but we won't have the pleasure of hearing Betsy sing for us again. Mr. Shea was a dear friend of her parents and he and his daughter have come to take her to live with them in New York. I'm sure she has our warmest wishes for happiness in her new home.
Betsy Brown:
I used to be an orphan before Pop adopted me.
Roger Wendling: That is a coincidence, you know, I used to be an orphan myself!
Betsy Brown: It's too bad we weren't orphans at the same time. We could've had lots of fun together!
Roger Wendling: That is a coincidence, you know, I used to be an orphan myself!
Betsy Brown: It's too bad we weren't orphans at the same time. We could've had lots of fun together!
Betsy Brown:
Barbara is awful smart. She reads great big books when she's not helping Pop run the hotel.
Roger Wendling: She does?
Betsy Brown: Yes, she told me she's studying how not to be an actress.
Roger Wendling: I see. Well, does she have any boyfriends?
Betsy Brown: Oh, yes, lots of them. There's Ole, the Martins, Jimmy and his Jazz Bandits...
Roger Wendling: No, I mean someone who takes her out to dinner. A sweetheart?
Betsy Brown: Oh, no. I guess she's just an old maid, like I was before you came along.
Roger Wendling: She does?
Betsy Brown: Yes, she told me she's studying how not to be an actress.

Betsy Brown: Oh, no. I guess she's just an old maid, like I was before you came along.
Roger Wendling:
It's my property and my money just as much as it is hers, and trustee or no trustee, she's got to give it to me.
Willoughby Wendling: Did you ask her?
Roger Wendling: I asked her for the hotel and fifteen hundred dollars, just enough to rent a theater and back a show to give those poor devils a chance to earn a living for themselves.

Jimmy Clayton:
What is it, Pop?
William J. 'Pop' Shea: It's for Betsy. Perhaps you could come back tomorrow morning?
Detective: Sorry, old man, I don't like this any more than you do, but I got to take her back tonight.
Jimmy Clayton: But you can't take Betsy back to the orphan asylum! Know why? 'Cause Betsy ain't here! She's down south in dear old Dixie.
Flossie: Sure, visiting with my folks.
Jimmy Clayton: Oh, I wish I was in Dixie! Away, away!
Detective: Hey, are you crazy?
Jimmy Clayton: Yeah! Uh, no! You see, we don't want to lose Betsy. That's why I lied to you. She's up in her room.
