Campbell Playhouse - 13 - Private Lives

The Campbell Playhouse was a radio drama series that aired on CBS from 1938 to 1941. Here's a breakdown of what made it interesting:

• Star Power: It was directed by and starred the legendary Orson Welles, known for his innovative use of sound effects and captivating voice.
• Classic Adaptations: During its first two seasons (1938-1940), the show focused on hour-long adaptations of classic plays, novels, and even some popular movies. Think "The Count of Monte Cristo" or "Rebecca" brought to life through radio.
• Shifting Format: After Welles left, the show continued for a season with a shorter format (30 minutes) and a focus on lighter fare, often featuring Hollywood actors.

Good Evening, missus orson Welles.Our story for tonight is Noah Cowards
Private Life on first produced several seasonsago at startled London and delighted New York,
parting the critics to ruffle among theirdictionaries and bring out such adjectives that's
scintillating, gossamer, gleaming, andhilarious. Much delight no old Coward to

(00:59):
look backward a few seasons and findhis players become acclaimed as one of the
most famous and lasting of modern comedies, then played all over the world and
extensively, although so far not successfullyimitated. For mister Coward is an ascute
theatrical observer, and underneath its surfacebrilliance, he has managed to catch the

(01:21):
essential patterns the modern love story.In writing about Private Lives, mister Coward
is said it was more difficult andfull of pitfalls than anything I've ever attempted.
But fortunately for me, I hadthe inestimable advantage of playing it with
Gertrude Lawrence, and so three quartersof the battle was won before the curtain

my hotel suddenly in the night.All comforbles at six minutes after nine,
depart with the your chase. Atthirty one minute after eleven, depart mister
Victor Prain. But this is thetrange ring. Mister Victor Prin does not
depart with mister Victor Prin. Whydoes he not depart with his wife,
Missus Victor Brin ha ha, BecauseMissus Victor Prain is not here anymore.

And why is missus Victor Pren nothere anymore? Because Miss Victor Brain is
on the way to Paris, andwith all this she on the way to
Prance. Were a very no Elliottsaid, It is as I have said.
You see me what I tell youthis f you are listening to the

(27:25):
Campbell Playhouse presentation of Private Lives,starring Richard Larrance and Austin Wells. This
is the Columbia Broadcasting System. MissusErnest Chapel, Ladies and gentlemen, welcoming

(28:03):
you back to the Campbell Playhouse.In a moment or two, we will
resume our presentation of Noah Coward PrivateLives. But first, temesads, I
imagine that Campbell's soups are used inyour home, just as they are in
millions of homes across the country.But tonight I want to ask you about
something else which Campbells make. Campbell'stomato juice. Have you tried it?
A great many people have, becauseCampbell's is the largest selling tomato juice in

(28:25):
America. Shortly after Campbell started makingit just a few years ago, women
saw it in their grocery stores.Being acquainted with the goodness of Campbell's soups.
Many of them decided to try Campbell'stomato juice. At first taste,
they must have liked it and thentold their friends and neighbors about it.
For it's popularity, its spread fromcoast to coast. There are those who

(28:45):
have orange juice every morning for breakfast. Still others have tomato juice every morning.
Perhaps the largest group of all haveorange juice one morning and tomato juice
the next. On your tomato juicemornings, I'd like to urge you to
drink Campbell's tomato juice. Now weresume our Campbell Playoffs presentation of Nord Howard,
Private Lives, Darling Good with Lawrenceand Austin Wells. Oh, Elliott,

(29:18):

Victor and Sybil a nice wire fromwhatever it was. What more can they
want? You're even more ruthless thanI am. I don't been even crying
over my bridges before I've eaten them. Very sensible personal, Yeah, I
feel grateful for a miraculous stake.I know now that I should never have
been happy with Victor. I wasa fool of any considering little little more
than considerately. Well, you can'ttalk. I wonder where if Victor and

(30:29):
Sybil met each other, whether they'vebeen suffering alone? No dead, don't
let go one, but it reallydoes make one. You're rob at all?
No? No, but's I supposeone or the other bostht of'em

(32:01):
out before. Well, what wouldnever happened to meet again? Would you
have been quite happy with Sybil watchfixer? Oh? Well we he looked
so stricken. That wasn the samewith you. In Victor, life would
have been fooled on, amicable andquite charming, wouldn't it, Poor dear
Victor. He certainly did love mesplendor. When I first meet him,
I was so lonely and depressed.I thought that I was growing old and

(32:23):
crumbling away unwanted. It certainly ishorrid when one begins to crumble. He
used to look at me hopelessly likea lovely spaniel. Mm and I thought
it most like snow in the sunlight. That must have been an edifying
sectacle. This still really had greatchart. It was still all about it.
He had a positive namure for lookingafter him, protecting me. I
would have died down in time.There. You mustn't a zoo. There's

rather common sort of mind. I'ma oh it does very unpleasant, makes
me shudder. Makes all this fussjust because it's silly. Badness is not

it was very much younger than Iandn't very much. Matter of fact,
the world calls that roulin Peter Burton, h Unually there was nothing in there.
I didn't know any thought you tookpresents from him, little boat.
I remember it well, bristling withdiamonds and the worst possible saying nothing to

dry must say. Oh, geton board of the whole conversation. So

in yourself really nothing. It's apity you didn't have another market. It
might have made you a little lessdisagree. Don't him the worst? It's
wonders with you. Snap snap snapped, just like a little adder. Others
don't snap. They sing nonsense standson the back of finem behind their thanks
and they snap. They sing,they snap, they sing. I don't
care. Do you want to stay? I don't care. I don't mind

(39:13):
if they bark and roll about likewool. If I do another copt a
good idea, I will ridiculous.I beg your part did ridiculous death.
Thank you. You'll better turn thatradio off. I think, why quite,

before we go back to England.We we must get things straightened out to
them. Dear, dear, Iwent dead. We try to come from
my listen. I'm so tired.Don't be such a long drive and I
haven't slept. Propped it for ange. Well, we had no right we
did. They'd have filled one an. It must have been drunk. Amanda,

(41:57):
hid he probably hit her too littleearlier on, I had no idea
anyone ever bathed like that. It'sso disgusting, so degrading, east of
all people. Oh, what anescape you've had, What an escape we
both had? What do you meaneverybody else? Any how to cook?
You? Look? Care? Her? A man? That doesn't occur to

(42:17):
you? That some god next issue? I don't think we've met before her,
Sibyl? Oh anyway, how couldyou? Sybil? I'm awfully sorry.
It's easy enough to be sorry.On the contrary, I find it's
extremely difficult. I seldom regret anything. This is a very rare and notable
exception, sort of red letter day. We must all make the most of
it. I wouldn't believe anyone tobe se placed to so cruibo. I

(42:39):
absolutely see your point. I amsorry, but I simply cannot discuss this
any further before dinner. I don'twant me dinner. Yeah you do.
You must be famished after that longdrive from Dobill. Now, then,
where's Amanda? I'm sure she's simplydying to see you both. Where'd you
go to in here? Amanda?Amanda? Good? Even everybody, Amanda?

(43:01):
We have guests, Please, don'taddress me. I don't wish to
stick to you. Is splenders,what's mode? I never shall again as
long as I live. He shouldendeavor to rise above it. I have
to believe that it's beyond the tailsa man to strike a woman a very
poor tradition. Certain women should destruckregularly like gong Oh. I tell you
what he was. He's an unmitigatedcad in the bullet, And you're an

(43:22):
ill mannered, bad tempered slattern.Flatten, yes, flatten, flat and
slattern and fish one. You mindyour room, Amanda. I'm not going
to interfere. That's the fact thatthey want with little probac here here anyhow,
Amanda, come on into my room, should like to tidy up before
dinner. But the man come alongvery well? Now then, now then,

(43:46):
what are you gonna take that?Those things you said to Amanda?
Certainly I'll take back anything, it'sonly you stop following it. No color
too. They want us to fight, don't you see? No? I
don't Why should they? Primitive feminineinstincts warring males veran you think you have
any clever at arel? I thinkI'm a bit cleverer than you. But
apparently that's not saying much. Hart, Oh, to sit down. I

(44:06):
will not, but if you excuseme, Victor, I will. I'm
extremely tired. Oh, I haven'ttake behave like a master a minute,
this minute. All this belligerence isvery right and proper. It's highly traditional.
But if only you'll think for amoment, you'll see that it won't
get us very hard all that.I should like to explain that if you
hit me, I shall certainly hityou, probably equally hard, if not
harder, and just as strong.VI and you hit me again, and

(44:27):
I'd hit you again. We'd goon until one of the others not down.
Now, if you'll explain to mesatisfactually, how all that can possibly
improve the situation, I'll tell offmy coat and go ahead and hand hamm
on transmediately. But ease my mindonly if you want, as you went,
all right, want try Yes,I won't go with them, uh
just the moment. Well, well, what what what do you mean about
them wanting it to fight? Itwould be a bomb to their vanity?

(44:51):
You will, Amanda, Is thisa battle or a discussion? If it's
the latter, I should put onmy coat again. I don't want to
catch a chill. Answer my question. Lease, have a cigarette, answer
my question. If you analyze it, Father Sylvi Christian Scull. You love
Amanda, not very much of themoment. To be perfectly frank, I'd
like to wring her neck. You'reapparently even more of a tare than I
thought you. You are completely inthe right over the whole business, don't
the matter? And I'm not firstlyconscious of that. I'm dead or very

(45:14):
unfortunate un thought to this might havebeen worse. I'm dad, you think
though, I too, wish you'dstop being so glad about everything. What
you intend to do? That's whatI want to know. What do you
intend to do? I don't know. I don't care. I seld you
realize you broken that poor little woman? Are which poor little woman? I'm
simpil of course, Oh come on, I'm a thirst bed say should get
over it? To get her aboutme. I intend to divorce Amanda very

(45:36):
well, and Simil will divorce youquiet and the sooner you marry Amanda again,
the better. Who said I've goneto marry Amanda? What? It's
a vile, tempered, wicked woman. Who's the thought of that? Before
I did think of it before Heaven'sman, you've got to marry. I'd
drave a merry a ravening leopard.Now look here, old man, I'm
sick of all this shilly shall you'regetting off a good deal, more lightly
than you deserve. You can consideryourself lucky. I didn't suit you,

(45:57):
but if you had a spark ofmen in a sinew you would have shot
me. It's you're all fossil fume. You're one of those cottonwool englishmen.
I despised you. You spike yes, utterly, utterly or nothing but a
rampaging gas bag. Goodbye. Ohyeah, you aver saw no Hello,
amember, what's happening with her?Nothing? He's happening and you ought to

(46:21):
be ashamed of it? Make it. But as elliots, he is a
lucky Telvia. How did you andElliott get on? I told him what
I thought of him? That's good? What did you say? I told
him he was the least contempt God, that's so funny, Amanda. I
think you must have been mad togo up with this. I've often thought
that makes sense, but I II I feel completely locked, completely bewildered.

(46:43):
I don't plame you. I don'tfeel any too, closing myself.
It's a mat all this to night. Yeah. Yeah, did you've been
drinking? Certainly, No, thatEddie's been drinking, yes, gallon.
Can you see this drink before?Yes, when you were married. Yeah,
terrible night after night he come homerolling and hiccupping. Yes, wasn't

(47:05):

bruise the young recognition a member ofit. I'm most officer. She'll give
you so much trouble. Really,I you know I I I can't stand
understand it at all. I've triedto, but I can't it. It
all seems so unlike him. No, No, it isn't really unlike me.
That's the trouble. I never I'dnever do marriage to Victor. I'm

(47:27):
a bad love. A man filmconflict with me. I know, I'm
a bad lot. I wasn't goingto conflict with her. Why do you
come here? Find out what youwant me to do? Divorced me?
I said to it. As soonas possible, I shn't make any difficulty.
I shall go away far far away, Morocco or Tunis or somewhere.
I'd probably catch some dreadful fever anddie out. They're all alone. Oh

(47:51):
dear, it's no use pitying yourself. I seem to be the only word.
Who does I might judge? Wasn'tdry? Amanda? Do you love
this man? I hate it?Do you wanna marry him? I got
a marrio boy constrictor, Amanda.I I can't go away and leave you
with a man who drinks or knocksyou about to you reading worry about leading
me as though I sort of parcel. I can take care of myself.
You said just now you were goingaway to Tunis. To god, mm,

(48:14):
well, I've changed my mind.That's the wrong time of the year
for Tunis. I I I recorddifference. I believe it last Gas very
nice in the summer. Oh st I'm totally unprincipal, Tibil, was

had to give you freely seeing thedepths of degradation to which age experience brought
you. I'm glad, I amas I am. That was exceeding the
rude. I think you'd better goaway somewhere. I will not very well.

(49:00):
I will simpil I dare you speakto Amanda like that? Oh,

right. Stand up for him corearlier that I'm principal ru area nothing fort
sut up. I won't step up. But I think of all the things

with you and obviously speak with greatapology. IV you had the intelligence of

(49:20):
media drunk. I don't not praticingtelling you, yes she is, and
I'm quite sure it's perfectly true,looking to tell you that she's rank thought

hit nothing. Yeah do you hearthat? What the door? Yeah?
That was a door six. Havea strange feeling, right, you don't

(51:36):
pray Let's concludes the Campbell play,our presentation of Private Lives by No Corards,

(52:01):
starring Gretrd Lawrence and Austin Wells.In just the moment, Miss Lawrence
will return to the microphone and missthe Wells. But in the meantime a
word on behalf of our sponsors.Earlier this evening, I suggested that you
serve Campbell's Tomato Juice is coming Sundayfor breakfast. For a great many Americans,

(52:22):
Sunday breakfast is a bright spot inthe week, leaves your ads to
the joy of eating, and Campbell'sTomato Juice brightens any breakfast weekday or Sunday.
It is a deep red of avery special type of tomato, grown
especially for Campbell's, a drink tocheer you by its bright appearance as well
as by its true fresh tomato taste. A drink too, that, by

(52:43):
its keen, lively flavor, makesthe pleasant change from other breakfast drinks.
Campbell's own method of canning retains theaugust fresh flavor of Campbell's Tomato Juice and
brings you the needed vitamins of thefresh tomatoes. Here's a drink that's worth
tumbling out of bed for Sunday orany other day. The flavor is always
the same, delightfully refreshing. Andyet with all these important advantages, Campbell's

(53:07):
Tomato Juice costs you only your triflemore than the ordinary kind. Is it
a date for Sunday breakfast? That'sfine. Let's all have Campbell's Tomato Juice.

(53:27):
And now here is Ausin Welles comedyonce said that every man in New
York he is or has been inlove with Gertrude Lawrence, which under pressure,
I might admit was somewhat exaggerated,but it would serve to indicate how
audiences react to us. But Laurenceis that rare phenomenon, rare in life
and justice, rare in the theater. A person with the ability to inject

(53:49):
the rich glamour of her own personinto whatever situation she had to be in.
Not the least part of this wonderfulgifts to Surge is the grace and
effortless ease of which he does.I'm sure some of that quality of personal
magic has come over you tonight.Certainty is that we are all deeply susceptible
to it here in the studio.Thank you for those kind word, miss

(54:12):
will, but I must rush tomy own defense. Two of in the
life of an actress is reported inrainbow colors instead of dream world of a
continual admiration in its fusing. Actuallythere is more to it than this.
An actress is to be a businesswoman. And if it's sotadly the hardest
working business in the world, that'sparticularly true in your case, Miss Laurence,
since you could hardly be described,uh certainly be described as the most

(54:34):
hard working style on the stage inAmerica. Of course, if you've only
yourself to blame in this matter,since you insist on appearing only in smash
hits, I mean specifically tonight ateight thirty Susan and God. And now
there's new comedy of yours, theSkylarck, that takes care of about three
years of packed houses, doesn't it. And now, miss Laurence, Uh,

(54:55):
dark rumors have reached us here ofyour doings as a young child.
It was just twice this wild taleof you and Noah Card making your davies
together at the advanced age of elevenin London is there any particular proof in
this allegation. Yeah, you're quitecorrect, absolutely direct, cause Mr card
and Iburn Gramatic school together, andwe did on one occasion appeared in the

(55:15):
same place. It was a Christmasstory in London. And what did you
play? We played Little Angels inthe Night Campbell Playoffs production. In Private
Lives, Miss Goodfrid Lawrence was heardin the role of Amanda Auton. Wells

(55:37):
played the part of Elliott shape Biblewas played by Naomi Campbell, the part
of Victor by Robert Staith. Thehotel manager was that good Barrier. Music
for the Campbell Playhouses arrangement conducted byBernard Hermann. And now, mister Wells,
would you tell us please about nextweek's story. Next week, gladies

(56:00):
and gentlemen, we go back ahundred years to the early days of the
American Unions, when the first paddlesteamers posed their sooty way up the Hudson
River. Darks teams were busy pullingsenators carriages out of the deep mud of
the Washington streets. Next week webring you Black Daniel from the book by

(56:21):
that distinguished novelist an Ol Wilson Morrow, The story of the Great Daniel Webstern,
of his love with the beautiful CarolineLeroy, which brought him from his
New England farms the service of hiscountry and the defense of the Union.
Now, guest, evening will bethat lovely motion picture star as John Bennett.
And now until next Friday, untilBlack Daniel, our sponsors, the

(56:45):
makers of campbell Soups, and allof us in the Campbell Playhouse remain obediently
