In this short scene, we learn that the girl's name is Dinah and that she is the daughter of a wealthy Polish family. Her father is a doctor and her mother is a housewife. Dinah's father, who is also a doctor, is a Polish immigrant who came to America in the early 1900s to work as a dentist in New York City. He was a dentist for many years before becoming an idol in the late 1920s and early 1930s. He is now the father of the girl and she is his daughter-in-law. Dinah is very upset that her father has become an idol, but she does not want to tell her father about it because she is afraid that he will think she is a prostitute.
