| Overview (TMDB): | Returning to her hometown from New York, Susan Applegate learns that she hasn't enough for the train fare and disguises herself as a twelve-year-old to travel for half the price. She hides from the conductors in the compartment of Major Philip Kirby, a military school instructor, who takes the "child" under his wing. |

plays a young woman ... who pretends to be a twelve year-old so she can ride the train for half-fare. The first time she smokes is a scene in which the conductor (who is suspicious of her proported age) sees her through the window, smoking on the back platform of the train. He confronts her and she actually 'eats' the cigarette, trying to hide it from him in her mouth until she can't hold it anymore and coughs it up. It's pretty funny. She next smokes in the scene in Lucy's bedroom, when Lucy (a real twelve year-old who knows Susan is not really a kid) offers her a smoke, refusing one for herself because she says, 'I find adolescence makes you nervous enough.' Lucy lights it for Ginger with a long fireplace match. Ginger smokes again in a later scene in Lucy's room, lighting her cigarette on a bunsen burner flame. |
