Summary of “Maggie’s Debut”
Every evening at the club “Shamrock” dances were arranged for the workers of the cardboard factory. Here came factory workers, bosom friends Anna and Maggie. Anna came with her boyfriend and took Maggie with her, an inconspicuous ugly woman with dull eyes, who always warmed the wall.
One day, Maggie appeared in a club with a chic guy, whom she introduced as Terry O’Sullivan. The girls besieged Maggie with requests to introduce Terry, and the young people after two years of blindness saw the light and noticed that Maggie was quite an attractive girl. Terry danced well, created an atmosphere of courtesy around him and invited the girl Dempsey Donovan twice to dance, which was not safe. Dempsey was the leader of the society and the handyman of Big Mike O’Sullivan, a man who enjoyed great authority with the police.
Dempsey went to Terry to find out where he came from and why he had one last name with Big Mike. Realizing that Terry’s name was not
With tears, she confessed to Dempsey that Terry was not really O’Sullivan, he just wanted to visit the club, and she was sick of coming only with Anna and her boyfriend, so she went on deception.

“You, Dempsey, ask me if you want to swim a duck.” stammered, answered Maggie. Gisselle Adan recounted
Employees of the cardboard factory every Saturday amused themselves at the dance. The entrance was not open to everyone. Visit the event and dance a lot could only employees of the factory and members of the sports society “Equal Chances.”
Anna and Maggie worked in the factory for a long time
But then Maggie appeared. Bitterly sobbing, she told everyone that, in fact, her boyfriend is not the one who introduced himself. But this is only her fault. Poor thing so tired of loneliness that she asked the Italian Tony Spinelli to play the role of her gentleman and spend a Saturday evening at the dance. As you know, strangers are not allowed here, so Tony had to “change” the name. Maggie was very embarrassed to talk about this, she was ashamed of her deed, but Dempsey’s reaction was unpredictable. He invited Maggie to the dance next Saturday.
