However, Bellocq did have a private side to his life few people knew about. Bellocq was a native of New Orleans and began his photographic career, first as an amateur photographer then turning professional, shooting mostly ships and machinery for local companies in the area. Bellocq is best known today for his evocative photographs of the prostitutes of Storyville, the notorious section of New Orleans where prostitution became legal in the late 1800’s and lasted through the early years of the 20 th century. Morley catches Patsy on a subway train, and persuades her to get off at the City Hall stop to get married.E.J. A delighted Baxter insists he go after the girl. Morley confirms what Corcoran has discovered, and also admits he is in love with Patsy.
Baxter hires private investigator Corcoran to track her down. When Baxter's plans for the baby become too overwhelming, Patsy tells him that she will raise her son on her own. In the process, however, he becomes jealous, having fallen in love without realizing it. To placate him, Morley arranges for Holmes to start dating Patsy. When Morley shows Baxter a photograph of the baby (actually a picture of his partner as a child), Baxter notices a resemblance to Holmes and assumes he is the father. She reluctantly agrees, after they point out that they will probably have to close if they do not get Baxter's business, throwing hundreds out of work. When Morley and Holmes finally learn the truth, Patsy wants to confess all to Baxter, but they insist she carry on the masquerade until they get his signature on the contract. Meanwhile, Baxter's temper improves under Patsy's influence. Patsy discovers her new friend's identity when her bosses send her to present their latest idea. She manages to maintain her charade, but Morley sees them together and assumes that she is Baxter's mistress. Meanwhile, Baxter keeps seeing Patsy, trying to help her with his namesake. Morley and Holmes discover that she has been fired they quickly hire her back and promote her from her secretarial duties. Later, when the agency's two bosses, Sam Morley and Barry Holmes see Baxter to try to get him to sign a contract for a new advertising campaign, he insists they keep her happy, to their puzzlement. He becomes acquainted with her, letting her assume that he works for Baxter as a watchman. (His chauffeur had abruptly quit after Baxter berated him for getting stuck in a traffic jam.) He is delighted when he overhears that she named her "child" Cyrus after him. One day, however, her agency's primary client, short-tempered Cyrus Baxter, happens to be seated beside her. Patsy Douglas comes up with an ingenious way to get a seat on the crowded New York subway: she pretends to have a baby, using a doll discarded by the advertising agency where she works.
