Old Mother Dallas
Kitty McShane actually gets story credit on this one; presumably inspired by the Lucans recently seeing 'Stella Dallas' and 'Pygmalion' (which provided the plot) and the adverts for 'Little Tough Guys in Society' (which provided the title).
Kitty first appears (heaven help us!) dressed as a principal boy singing in a production of 'Aladdin' (on a set that looks suspiciously as if it was left over from 'The Mikado'). After she's caught the eye of John Stuart (who's rather better looking than her beaus usually are) his mother improbably commends him on "his wise choice".
Mother meanwhile tags along in a maid's uniform and after the usual hilarious upsets at a society gathering the ending is actually rather sweet.
