Does anyone know about this Betty Grable movie?

The movie I am trying to find out about is where she played a secretary and went to live in a place that was like a boarding house. The movie was made somewhere in the 1930s. My mom thought that this movie was called something like "The Secretary" or "The Typewriter" but I can't find the movie under either of those titles. Thank you for any help you can give me.

    I would say google betty Grable who played as a secretary and see what you get. Even try to type in The secretary or the typewriter to see she is one of the actresses.

    Maybe you spelled the name wrong try Garble

    Try "The Women" or "The Women's Room", I am not positive but I have watched alot of movies from that era with my mom and it definately sounds familiar. If it is the one I remember, I believe that it might have Lucille Ball in one of her first roles. Anyway, hope this is of some help. please let me know if this is incorrect and I will call my mom, I am sure she will know the answer. my email is mojorising_007@yahoo.com, sincerely, kat
