up in just a moment. Here As classic radio Theater
with Wyattos continues.

Speaker 16 (10:50):
Daily, the broadcasts of Radio Free Europe and Radio Freeasia
strike through the Iron Curtain, bringing the truth about the
free world. The captive people behind it help send a
message by giving to the nineteen fifty two Crusade for Freedom.

Speaker 6 (11:06):
If you have not read Earth Abides, I strongly suggest
to go to the library, pick up a copy and
read it, because what you're getting here is an amazing adaptation.
But in two thirty minute broadcasts there's only so much
of it, and there's so much it gets missed. But
it is a wonderful dramatization, and John Dayner does a

(11:27):
wonderful job as Ish. This episode of Escape, second part
of the two part dramatization, was broadcast seventy five years ago. Today,
November twelfth, nineteen fifty.

Speaker 17 (11:40):
You finding life Robert Dough, dreaming again of exotic places,
wishing you were somewhere else. We offer you Escape.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Today, with the performance of John Danier as Isherwood Williams.
Escape brings you one of the most unusual and terrifying
stories of recent years. George Stewart's powerful novel Earth Abides.

Speaker 9 (12:30):
If you should awake some morning tomorrow morning, Let's say,
if you should awake to a man dead world where
virtually all of human life had been destroyed from the
face of the earth, leaving behind only buildings, bridges, machines.
If you should awake to such a world tomorrow morning,

(12:51):
what would you do? Where would you go? This is
the year three. My name is Isherwood Williams. Three years
since I returned from the lonely mountain country of northern
California to find that mankind that virtually vanished from the earth.

(13:14):
Some unknown virus had scourged him from his high place
among animals. His great cities were tombs. His entire civilization
was crumbling. I toured the emptiness that had once been
called America, from the silent towers of Manhattan to the
Golden gate Bridge. I saw in all ten human beings

(13:36):
still alive. In the fourth month after my return to
San Francisco, I saw a light on Knob Hill. It
was there I found m who became my wife. Year
one passed, we call it the year of the Baby.

(14:00):
Two we call the year of the Rats. Now it
was year three, M the Baby and I were struggling
for existence amid the fast decaying wealth of San Francisco. Oh,
all right, now, I'll be careful.

Speaker 18 (14:13):
Isn't it funny?

Speaker 19 (14:15):
Always makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong. I'm
breaking into the biggest food store on Market Street.

Speaker 9 (14:21):
Not wrong, m there's no private property anymore. This city,
this grocery store, it's all ours.

Speaker 20 (14:26):
Now, Ish, Look look at this place.

Speaker 9 (14:31):
The rats left their mark. Hero, All right, there's the
answer to their death. They ate all the food they
could get at, and they ate each other.

Speaker 20 (14:38):
It's horrible.

Speaker 8 (14:39):
It's a familiar Pattername species grows, dominates the earth for
a short time, then dies. Oh come on, we'll take
a look at the bottles and the can goods.

Speaker 10 (14:48):
Ish.

Speaker 20 (14:48):
Look the labels are gone.

Speaker 8 (14:50):
No, well, we'll just have to try to guess at
the contents by the shape of can.

Speaker 20 (14:54):
The bottles are easy. Hey, look bottles of real.

Speaker 9 (14:57):
Levengers fine, should be corn beef.

Speaker 20 (15:01):
Look at it, all tons of it. We could live
in just this forever.

Speaker 9 (15:06):
No, no, and we can't be scavengers forever. That's why
the rats died. And we've got to grow things. We've
got to bring something new into the world. Come on,
let's get some of this stuff home. During that year,

(15:26):
M and I found whatever we needed for ourselves and
the baby, and the empty, silent stores of San Francisco.
We lived on the spoiling supplies of a million people.
One evening, just after dusk, I suddenly noticed a strange,
wavering glow in the sky over the downtown area of
the city. I called them to the window. There was

(15:48):
a smell of smoke in the air. Fire. Am, San
Francisco is on fire.

Speaker 20 (15:55):
Is there something we can do?

Speaker 18 (15:57):
No?

Speaker 9 (15:59):
There were It must be three square miles of flame.

Speaker 8 (16:03):
What started at the oily rags in the basements and
gasoline explosion could be any one of the thousand causes.

Speaker 20 (16:09):
Will it reached the house?

Speaker 8 (16:11):
No, I don't think so. Wind's blowing it away from us.
It'll burn itself out in a day or two.

Speaker 20 (16:19):
We'll come away from the window.

Speaker 9 (16:23):
Am. And do you smell gas?

Speaker 20 (16:28):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (16:29):
It smells like it to me.

Speaker 20 (16:31):
Open the door of the hall.

Speaker 10 (16:32):
Yeah, hey, hey, hey, the hall.

Speaker 18 (16:37):
Is filled with it.

Speaker 9 (16:38):
Hey, we've got to get out of here. Gas line
must have burst. One spark in this place will blow
up like a bomb. Baby, I'll be safe from the
fire escape. Sorry, I am here. Here, I'll take the baby.
I'll just hang onto the rail and walk slowly. The
cme on. We started down the fire escape. In the distance,
the flames were gutting the heart of the city. Parts

(17:00):
of Chinatown were already gone. Kept going down the street
level and then we started running, and he second the
spark could blow the building of dust, and he ran,
our breath tearing, and our throats.

Speaker 21 (17:13):
Back against the wall, and the shot wave.

Speaker 22 (17:25):
Show all right, it's all over him.

Speaker 9 (17:36):
We're gonna be all right. We moved to another section
of town that had been spared by the fire. The
days passed days. In the weeks, em and I were
growing tired of the canned food and wanted some fresh
vegetables and fruit. We needed a car, and one day

(17:58):
and I found a Jeep in a garage. In the storeroom,
I found new tires to replace the rotted ones that
Jeep had been standing on.

Speaker 10 (18:08):
Would it work.

Speaker 9 (18:09):
After two years? Hard to say. I'm no mechanic.

Speaker 23 (18:14):
All the cars to choose from, and we picked something
like this. I always wanted a convertible, maybe a Cadillac package.

Speaker 8 (18:24):
It's more useful and more durable. Besides, it's all we need. Alright, am,
let's try it. Step on the starter.

Speaker 9 (18:40):
Oh al right, not try it?

Speaker 5 (18:47):
Come on, come on start start stop good good, come.

Speaker 9 (18:57):
On, come on, come on. One night several months later,
M shook me awake.

Speaker 20 (19:19):
M h something outside moving around right.

Speaker 24 (19:23):
By the window.

Speaker 9 (19:25):
Give me the hammer carefully, I'll be all right.

Speaker 20 (19:29):
Well, come with you.

Speaker 9 (19:30):
I'll stay here.

Speaker 5 (19:31):
I'll be right back.

Speaker 9 (19:38):
Who's there?

Speaker 5 (19:41):
Who's there?

Speaker 18 (19:44):

Speaker 27 (20:15):
Okay, you can put that hammer down. I ain't gonna

Speaker 9 (20:19):
Oh sure, sure. Come on inside.

Speaker 21 (20:22):
And somebody's here, Yes, Eileen and me.

Speaker 27 (20:26):
She's my adopted daughter. About a year ago I found
her main street in Los Angeles.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
She was starving.

Speaker 27 (20:31):
Can't forge for herself, Eileen can't, so I gotta take
care of her. She can't think so good.

Speaker 9 (20:38):
How long you been here? About two days?

Speaker 27 (20:40):
Wandering around the city. Nice city, this San Francisco. We
started to visit here when it had people reckon. I
really could have had myself.

Speaker 20 (20:48):
At time, I'll get you to something to eat.

Speaker 27 (20:51):
Well, that's mighty nice. By the way, I'm sure I'm
an impolite if my name's Ezra, I don't believe I
cured issuer. Would this is m well, I'm happy to
know you.

Speaker 9 (21:05):
Aileen.

Speaker 27 (21:06):
Looks like we've met up with some real nice people.

Speaker 9 (21:19):
Ezra and his new daughter, Eileen, stayed with us, made
their home in the house next door. Now the year
three has passed, called it Year of Ezra. November the
year four. Women came a week ago. She had dark hair,

(21:42):
dark eyes. She was alone. Ezra has taken her for
his wife. June ninth, year five. Our second son was
born this day. We named him Joey. April the year six.

(22:06):
Two men and a woman have come. George says he's
a carpenter. Harry work in the bank. You'll have to
learn a trade.

Speaker 28 (22:12):
And the woman is called mapleh Ish.

Speaker 27 (22:23):
You better come with me. What's the matter the water?
It's stopped running in deposits.

Speaker 9 (22:27):
Maybe it's just a broken pipe in your place.

Speaker 27 (22:30):
No I checked, and it ain't just my place.

Speaker 9 (22:32):
I've checked all the houses.

Speaker 27 (22:33):
Around and there ain't any water running in any of them.

Speaker 9 (22:35):
Maybe it's a waterman under the street.

Speaker 27 (22:38):
I don't think so you know what I think? What
I think? The water stopped way up in the mountain
someplace Ish.

Speaker 29 (22:47):
San Francisco's going dry.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
In two weeks, not a drop of rain, Ezra. We
can't go on boiling the water forever. If we're going
to live, We've got to get out of here. Yeah,
but there's still all them can good. That's what's wrong, Ezra.
And we've been living off the old instead of building
something new. But we've got to forget that. Water ran
out of faucets and vegetables come in cans. We've got
to start growing things ourselves. We will when the time come.

Speaker 20 (23:22):
I reckon, you better come quick.

Speaker 10 (23:23):
What is it then, Aileen?

Speaker 27 (23:25):
What's the matter with her?

Speaker 20 (23:26):
She must have been drinking polluted water.

Speaker 9 (23:28):
Typhoid? Well, what does the book say, ish?

Speaker 27 (23:48):
What are we going to do?

Speaker 9 (23:49):
Isolate the others? Maybe can nurse Eileen?

Speaker 30 (23:52):
What do we do for?

Speaker 9 (23:53):
What's the treatment? And you can't shorten the disease? It
says all you can do is help make it less severe?
And I don't worry, Ezra. We'll do our best.

Speaker 10 (24:00):
Eileen.

Speaker 27 (24:02):
She's so helpless, she don't understand, but you move in
with us.

Speaker 9 (24:06):
This thing spreads, It can wipe out all of us.

Speaker 27 (24:21):
Another case, who is it, George?

Speaker 9 (24:24):
Move him in with Eileen? Get another bed in there.

Speaker 27 (24:28):
You won't have to What do you mean, Eileen's dead?

Speaker 9 (24:38):
This is the year six, a year of disease and death.
I went to the drug stores, walking the misty, dark
streets of the city, armed with my medical text my hammer.
I rated the dusty shelves and the long warm refrigerators
of the pharmaceutical departments. The wonder drugs had long since
rotted in their files. Some sulfur was still potent, and

(25:00):
I used it liberally. Yet case after case of typhoid
broke out. Some live, most died, including our first born,
our little community upon which I had pinned the hopes
of a new birth of mankind that dwindled from twelve
persons to seven, five adults, only two children.

Speaker 20 (25:22):
You've got to get some sleep, Dish.

Speaker 9 (25:24):
How many of us have left them? Canump for me?

Speaker 19 (25:28):
Ezra, George, Mabel, my second son, Joey, and Ezra's born,
You and.

Speaker 9 (25:36):
I am, And what's the good of starting again. We're
being exterminated from the earth. Every small being of it
so things can become green again.

Speaker 20 (25:45):
There are seven of us.

Speaker 19 (25:46):
Ish Once there was only me, and once there was
only you, alone and separated.

Speaker 20 (25:53):
There are still seven.

Speaker 8 (25:55):
Oh and and what would I do with you?

Speaker 9 (26:01):
Go to sleep, and you won't make the mistake a
second time. Won't be any looking back.

Speaker 8 (26:10):
We'll forget the trains that used to run, the tall
buildings and the soft food.

Speaker 9 (26:18):
Go back to the earth, Back to the earth, Back
to the earth. We left San Francisco a few survivors.

(26:38):
We packed only the essentials, the machines, the conveniences. We
left to the sun and the wind. From this time on,
we'd work in the soil. The decay of the old
times was behind us. Now we went south and east
until we came to a watered land, green with growing things.
This would be our eating here, without the memories of
a dead people about us, we would begin mankind again.

(27:10):
Mere Joey, yesterday, Joey, he sit down here next to me.
I want to ask you some questions. Now. First of all,
what year is this?

Speaker 31 (27:21):
Oh, that's an easy question, the year fifteen.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
Joey. Did you do your reading today?

Speaker 18 (27:27):
Sure you like to read?

Speaker 9 (27:29):
Yeah, Joey's something I want to tell you. You know
there were once a lot of people like us on Earth, millions.
You know that, don't you.

Speaker 31 (27:40):
Yeah, I read about them.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
They could fly.

Speaker 9 (27:42):
That's right. Well, someday there'll be millions of people again,
and they'll fly again years years from now. But after
I'm gone, there won't be anybody to show them the way.
That's why I'm depending on you.

Speaker 10 (27:59):
What am I suppose to do?

Speaker 9 (28:00):
Learn? Read and study. You're going to lead them someday, Joey,
after I'm gone, don't let them go back. You don't understand.

Speaker 20 (28:13):
I think I do.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Oh you will. Look.

Speaker 9 (28:16):
I want to show you what I made this morning.
What is It's called a bowl. Guns won't be good
much longer. The powder will get rotten, guns will get rusty.
You can hunt with this, kill animals for food.

Speaker 5 (28:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (28:28):
Look here, See a carp is out of willow, the
nice strung strips of calf hide from one end of
the boat to the other. And I watched this.

Speaker 32 (28:36):
See here, this is the arrow.

Speaker 31 (28:40):
That's fun.

Speaker 9 (28:41):
Let me try all right here like this. That's right now.
I'll pull back hard, No, no, no, no, hard, hard,
there I go.

Speaker 31 (28:50):
Why that's well? Can I take it out? Sign?

Speaker 9 (28:53):
Play with this sure, be careful with it.

Speaker 33 (28:55):
Hey billy, Look what I got, Hey billy.

Speaker 9 (29:02):
It took thousands of years from man to pass from
the spear to the bow and arrow. I've just done
it in five minutes. This is the year nineteen. I
have gray hair. It's odd to think of myself as

(29:25):
an old man. Well, why not?

Speaker 5 (29:28):
Really? Fifty one?

Speaker 9 (29:31):
There are nineteen numbers in a smooth piece of rock
in the meadow. And I chipped in with my hammer
and chisel, my hammer. What would I do without my hammer?
Everything is going along well, quite a farmer now. Community
is growing. They are forty five of us strangers that

(29:51):
drifted in, babies born. Maybe man is something you can't
quite kill off. The stranger name Charlie came in today.
I don't like him. He's gruff and hard, and his eyes,
I don't like his eyes.

Speaker 18 (30:13):
Sure, three men.

Speaker 31 (30:14):
At a time, see Charlie, how'd you do it.

Speaker 34 (30:17):
With my bare hands? Came at me all at once.
I grabbed two of them and bang their heads together.
They cracked like coconuts. Then the other one I knocked
down and stepped on his face. Wasn't much left of
him after I got through.

Speaker 10 (30:32):
She's time for bed, Joey, Well, can he tell one more?

Speaker 18 (30:36):

good sized group of human beings I've seen, and believe me,
I've been around.

Speaker 5 (31:08):

Speaker 9 (31:09):
And everybody works. It's the only way we can live.

Speaker 34 (31:13):
Li and you, if I want to stay, I'll stay,
and I'll stay on my own terms. I don't ask
anything from anybody. I live my own way.

Speaker 9 (31:21):
Better understand that right now, And you better understand something
before we go any further, Charley, I've been elected to
leadership in this town. And we aren't a bunch of
independent individuals doing what we please. We're a community working together.
Either you accept that or get out.

I'm staying. Can I.

Murdering No, it's not murdering him. You, Mabel and Ezra
and I. We're the government now, we've been elected Council
of War. There isn't any government but us. It's not
a matter of punishment. It's protecting the community from a menace.
And that's what Charlie is but he was drung, all
the more reason he might do it again.

Speaker 27 (34:16):
Afraid, so am we can't take the chance.

to be right. We'll take a voice. Vote you first, Mabel.
What do you say? Yeah, Ezra death, m Well, how

(34:54):
do you vote him death? It's unanimous, Well, carry out
the sentence. Tomorrow morning. The Council of four had made
his decision. And this was not killing in passion or

(35:17):
rage or hatred. This was the deliberate and sane elimination
of an enemy. Early in the morning, we tied Charlie
to an oak tree. Ezra took Charlie's revolver. Charlie stared
at him with childish disbelief. He gasped, slumped into his ropes,

(35:41):
his mouth red with blood, his eyes swollen in death.
The power of the New State was born.

That's how excited to think that you were picked as
one of the country's most eligible bachelors. You mean to say,
in all these years, you haven't even been engaged.

Speaker 21 (43:57):
Well, Howard, I was engaged to a girl twelve years ago.
One day we had a lover's quarrel. Since then, she's
been married three times and has twelve children. Really, yeah,
if she keeps trying to make me jealous like that,
I'm gonna break our engagements. I hope she makes up
her mind soon. The groom on the wedding cake I
bought us wearing a rented tuck seated. Wait a minute,

(44:19):

I thought it would. This must never happen again. Usher's

lash my name, and I will be exiled to the

(45:03):
the yushers dread that program folks. They give away one
hundred and fifty ice boxes and the ushers have to
carry them out to the cars. That must be the
long distance call I tried to put through this morning. Hello,
Duranti's speaking.

Speaker 33 (45:16):
We're ready on your call to Washington, DC. Kindly limit
your call to three minutes. If you limit your call
to three minutes, we can complete many more calls than
we could if you just went on jabbering away for
an unlimited amount of time. Here is your ponty in Washington.

Speaker 25 (45:31):
Hello, Hello, hello, Hello, it's very cold.

Speaker 21 (45:35):
You're in Washington, very pretty, But would you mind putting
your father on the phone? Margaret, and hurry, this is important.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
Your time is up.

Speaker 21 (45:52):
Operator operate or operate? How they like that? I pay
six dollars for a phone call? And what do I get?
A floor showing a frost warning?

Speaker 39 (46:01):
Say Jimmy, why the excitement? What was this important matter
you had to speak to the president about?

Speaker 21 (46:05):
Well, you see, right after the program tonight, I'm leaving
on the super chief for the press Photographer's Ball, and Howard,
I've booked a neck that will be a sensation of
the year.

Speaker 39 (46:13):
The sensation of the year.

Speaker 18 (46:15):
Huh, what is it?

Speaker 21 (46:15):
Jimmy Truman's going to play the piano for mumbles quartets
Harry makes good. They might be even an opening for
him with the Andrews Sisters. But aside from that, Howard,
my real purpose in going to Washington has informed the
country what's wrong with it? Let me tell you about

(46:37):
everybody's trying to figure out what's wrong with the country. Well,
I'm proud to say I've solved the case. Of course,
after Dilly Dalli and Chilly Shallion, I've reached a concussion.
The state of Arkansaw is in the wrong places Van
Buren's fought when he was president. He mislaid it. Why
nobody ever thought of it before? I'll never know. It's

(47:01):
a simple little move, but what improvements.

Speaker 45 (47:04):
It will show.

Speaker 21 (47:05):
Move the state of ark and Salt to Nebraska. Then
move Nebraska to Idle Hole. Then move this state of
Idahoe to Alaska, and move Alaska to oh I home.
It took a lot of time and brain weight. See
the wrinkles on the brow. Why. There's lots of little details,

(47:27):
but I'm working on them.

Speaker 18 (47:28):
Now.

Speaker 21 (47:28):
Move Ohio to Nevada. It's as playing as ABC. Then
we'll move Nevada where our Kansas used to be. We'll
have a better nation just by changing the location up
the state. So let me show you what I mean.
If you move off and so, you gotta move it
someplace right right. And if you move it someplace, you

(47:51):
gotta move what was someplace to someplace else, right right.
And if you move what was someplace else to someplace else,
you gotta move what was someplace else to some other
place celts right right raw. I always admire a guy
who speaks his mine. My plan is to move all

(48:13):
the state the better places, Believe me. I take Nebraska
and put it in Rhode Island. I take Minnesota and
put it in Rhode Island. I take Montana and put
it in Rhode Island. Poor little Rhode Island. Just split
it the seams. After that, I moved New Mexico to Texas,
Texas to Pennsylvania. Then I take the state of Missouri

(48:35):
and move it to Don't get mad, mister Truman, I'll
put it back. And then to add Klama to the
national capital, I take Hollywood and move it to Washington, DC.
Why I can just see the Neon sign on the
White House. Louis B. Mayor presents Congress, ninety six gorgeous senators,

(48:55):
and Jeane Audrey and his hoss Jimmy Fiddler just gave
it one bell that makes it unanimous. We'll have a
better nation for just my changing the location of the
statement on tasaw.

Speaker 31 (57:19):
How can they use your nose in the Howard Hughes hearing?

Speaker 21 (57:23):
They claim, if I can get the schnaz off the ground,
what's us waiting for? Thanks for laughing, folks, you're all
my guests for dinner. Johnny Myers is picking up the check.

Speaker 31 (57:38):
Oh look, Jimmy, the train's going into a tunnel and
it's pitch dark.

Speaker 21 (57:42):
This is my big chance lamour and durant in a
dark tunnel. I can't see you, but I'm gonna sweep
you into my arms and kiss it. Damn I sweep
even though we couldn't see each other. Didn't that kiss
mean the beginning of a wonderful romance? Left the work fairs,
I get off and out. Okay, Daddy, There's only one

(58:12):
thing that can settle my noise after that horrifying experience.
Sink something from me.

Speaker 31 (58:16):
Well, I'd be glad to Jimmy. How about the crew
chiefs and I doing. Let's pick up where we left off.

Speaker 14 (58:21):
Okay, let's pick up where we left off.

Speaker 49 (58:36):
From stort again.

Speaker 13 (58:42):
Can't we be the same old wet.

Speaker 49 (58:49):
Just like we were there.

Speaker 14 (58:54):
Let's pick up where we left off.

Speaker 20 (59:00):
Start a new dream or tune.

Speaker 33 (59:05):
I still gave.

Speaker 27 (59:07):
That same old.

Speaker 13 (59:09):
Feeling when I think of you.

Speaker 49 (59:16):
I walk in the.

Speaker 13 (59:18):
Book, all alone.

Speaker 21 (59:20):
In the dark, to our favorite.

Speaker 13 (59:24):
Around, but when I get there, it's so empty and bad,
nothing but memories of you. If you gave me one
more chance, I'm yours to Heaven knows when. So let's

(59:53):
pick of where we lak and start hello over again.

Speaker 50 (01:00:03):
I want to talk in the park, all along in
the dard to our revere ronable.

Speaker 42 (01:00:15):
But I can there, rejoined and bad, nothing but Mam,
reserve you, barling.

Speaker 31 (01:00:28):
If you give me you one more chances on yours.

Speaker 21 (01:00:36):
To heaven most win the soul.

Speaker 13 (01:00:40):
Let's pick up where we live and stop all old.

Speaker 14 (01:00:51):
Again.

Speaker 40 (01:01:03):
We distinguished rex All qualities.

Speaker 45 (01:01:05):
Sorry begins in the rex All Laboratory.

Speaker 39 (01:01:08):
Yes, the Rexall Laboratory is one of the largest and
most completely equipped pharmaceutical laboratories in the world. Here, more
than two thousand different rex al drug products are scientifically
compounded under the exacting direction of doctors, chemists and pharmacists.
That's why when your rex al druggist says, for example.

Speaker 45 (01:01:26):
You can always depend upon rex Al bisma rex to
bring you prompt and prolonged really from acid indigestion, dyspepsia, or.

Speaker 39 (01:01:32):
Heartburn, you may be sure your rex al druggist knows
what he's talking about. Thanks to the unsurpassed quality standards
of the rex Aw laboratory, you can depend on any
drug product bearing the name rex All.

Speaker 45 (01:01:44):
The quality of one rex Al product will tell you
the quality story for all rex Al products. Remember, twenty
five percent of America buys its drug needs at rex
Al drug stars.

Speaker 11 (01:01:55):
If you want to be sure that the product is pure,
when you ask.

Speaker 46 (01:01:59):
Laura drug preparation by the Rexall line at the rex.

Speaker 11 (01:02:03):
All sign a rex All and entification.

Speaker 18 (01:02:07):
Good health to all fron Rexall.

Speaker 21 (01:02:18):
Goaddio. It's wonderful riding the super Chief with you.

Speaker 31 (01:02:21):
It is a nice trip, Jimmy, but you aren't relaxing.

Speaker 21 (01:02:24):
How can I relax? As soon as I get the Washington.
I joined the hobble. In the bubble and chaos two,
I'll be right in the middle of it with all
those important men like General Marshall, Senator Van and boy
Eric Johnson, and Maristino Schwartz.

Speaker 31 (01:02:38):
Maraschino Schwartz. What makes him so important in Washington?

Speaker 21 (01:02:42):
He's the one who smears the mustard on justice Frankfurter.
He's the only judge who hands down his decisions in
a bundon.

Speaker 31 (01:02:52):
Well, Jimmy, try and forget those things for a while.
Come on, lay your head on my shoulder and try
to take a little nap.

Speaker 21 (01:02:59):
Thank you. I could use a little snooze.

Speaker 20 (01:03:02):
That's the boy.

Speaker 31 (01:03:03):
Now, just close your eyes and go to sleep.

Speaker 10 (01:03:06):
That's right, just sleep.

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
Oh gee, it takes us more a long time to
go through his nose.

Speaker 31 (01:03:25):
My, his sweet face looks disturbed. I wonder what he's
dreaming about.

Speaker 21 (01:03:33):
What a life, the skelpter and the helter of the
busy city, the hubba baloo of the raw multitudes. I
wish I could, I wish I could get away.

Speaker 9 (01:03:43):
From it all.

Speaker 21 (01:03:44):
If I could only drift away to a desert island,
would on leave me and Dorothy la Moeux.

Speaker 31 (01:03:53):
Greetings, white man me tondala lamu oh nolissoi coli unka
ola Manaslui.

Speaker 21 (01:04:03):

we'd be married by now.

Speaker 31 (01:04:09):
Oh you beautiful white man. Me loves strong shoulders and
big muscles. How you get so much hair on your chest?

Speaker 21 (01:04:17):

of those guys here?

Speaker 3 (01:04:53):
Oh?

Speaker 31 (01:04:53):
Yes, we have madman mana kura and honest hockey.

I was thanking him. Yeah, and there's the sign of
the biggest of them all. Sell your canoe to the
poop power easy and.

Speaker 31 (01:05:08):
Oh why we talk of silly things. Take me in
your arms, oh handsome banana beak.

Speaker 21 (01:05:18):
Please, what you've got is what I came here to forget.
I don't want romance. I just want to relax and
live on tropical fruits. Just this morning, I saw my
first papya Ah.

Speaker 31 (01:05:31):
It is a wonderful fruit, the papaya.

Speaker 21 (01:05:33):
Not only that, I saw a papyra and a mamaya.
The Papayah said to the Mamayah, when we are gonna
when are we gonna have a papaya and a mamaya
set to the Papayah, do you want a girl papaia
papia or a boy papaia? But they had twins, a
girl a girl papaiah for the papaya and a boy

papaya for the Papayah for the mammayah. Show not a
papaya and mamyah have a curl Papaiah for the Mamayah
and a port bapia.

Speaker 31 (01:06:04):
Goodness, how can white men say things like that?

Speaker 21 (01:06:08):
White men have short education and long rehearsler.

Speaker 31 (01:06:14):
To forget this city life, you must fall in love
with Tondeleo, my wonderful sharp snoot.

Speaker 44 (01:06:21):
Come.

Speaker 31 (01:06:22):
I will kiss you so hard it will curl up
your toes.

Speaker 21 (01:06:26):
That's ridiculous. You couldn't kiss me hot enough to make
my toes curl.

Speaker 31 (01:06:30):
Oh no, watch hi, you curly?

Speaker 21 (01:06:45):
How do you like that? I now have open toed feet.

Speaker 31 (01:06:50):
There is only one way for you to completely forget
the city. You shall marry me and live here on
this island. Come, you must ask my Mama Sita for
my hand.

Speaker 21 (01:07:00):
That's the way you feel, Princess, I'll do it, our bone.

I'm with you, Jimmy Sabilization, Shine, here we.

Speaker 21 (01:08:38):
Come, souks. I've been sleeping Doddy, and I had a
wonderful dream wrestling on your shoulder, and I'm convinced that

(01:09:00):
you and I were meant to be betrotted. Tell me, sweetheart,
what do I have to do to make you my bride?

Speaker 32 (01:09:07):
You have to work.

Speaker 30 (01:09:08):
Fares, I get off and app of glacis.

Speaker 40 (01:09:22):
Friends.

Speaker 39 (01:09:22):
Here are those foremost rex Al reminders for the week.
Remember twenty five percent of America buys it's drug needs
in rex Al drug stores. Remember rex Al is that
large and respected family of more than two thousand different
drug products. Remember you can always depend on any drug
product bearing the name rex All. Remember rex All drug
products are available in rex Al drug stores everywhere.

Speaker 21 (01:09:45):
To say, Howard, and I'd like to add I do
my shopping at a rex Al store, buying rex Al
drugs and a pull the more ombri how Goo, he
prefers them to we buy rex saw That's all. How
about you next week, folks, our guess will be common Miranda.

(01:10:09):
Before we close, Tommy Hammon is gonna tell us what's
cooking with the bigskin this week? Go ahead, Tommy, well, Jimmy.

Speaker 7 (01:10:16):
Tonight, our rex All football spotlight goes east and then
to the Midwest and the East. We have one of
the top football games of the season, Army versus Pennsylvania.
It's been some time since ten one over Army, but
this looks like revenge week in Philadelphia. Army, beaten twice
this season by Columbia Notre Dame, should force the Quakers
to a real test, but George Munger's lads seem to
be too much on the ball for the Cadets. Our
second game is the big IF game for the Big

(01:10:37):
Nine Rose Bowl Quest, Michigan versus Wisconsin at Madison. So far,
Michigan is plowed under all opponents, but Harry Stooldreer's boys
have come along fast. This could be the upset of
the year, But on performance, I'm going to have to
stick with my old Alma Mammy and hope for the best.
My final tip for those seeing the game would be
to keep your eyes on Bump Elliott of Michigan. Here
is an All American back who's gone unnoticed in Michigan's

(01:10:59):
great victory. March Wisconsin will be tough, but I doubt
if they can sidetrack the Michigan Rose Bowl Express.

Speaker 18 (01:11:09):
I let all the night bolts from Abi Preacher Boy Bargie,
yours truly.

Speaker 21 (01:11:12):
Howard Petrix and Jimmy Narrani, who says good night Peggy Lee,
come back soon, and good night missus Calabash wherever you are.

Speaker 39 (01:11:24):
Let's program produce the director by Bill Bill me all th.

Speaker 26 (01:11:30):
NBC the National Ball Cast in coperators.

Speaker 6 (01:11:34):
Well, we'll tell you a little bit about what happened
in those ballgames. Army and Penn ended in a seven
seven tie. It was the only blemish on Penn's otherwise
undefeated season. They ended the season seven zero and one
eighty thousand on hand for the game, and it was

(01:11:58):
significant Army as we said had dominated Penn in nineteen
forty five in a sixty one to nothing victory. Army's
record for the year five two and two. They had
beaten Notre Dame twenty seven to seven earlier in the season.
In the other game Michigan and Wisconsin, Wisconsin couldn't do it.

(01:12:22):
Forty to six, the Michigan Wolverines stormed over the Wisconsin
Badgers in Madison. It was a big moment that secured
the Big Nine Conference championship, regardless of the outcome of
their final game against Ohio State. It was cloudy, it
was cold in Madison, rain and snow. Wisconsin entered the

(01:12:45):
contest on a four game winning streak. A lot of
people thought they could win, as you heard Tommy Harmon say,
there but the Wolverine six touchdowns scored by Howard Yergis,
Derrek Cott Weisenberg, riffg and Tom Peterson. But Michigan could
not be beat. They were ranked number one in the

(01:13:08):
final AP poll after the Rosewall following a decisive forty
nine to zhering win over to USC. There you have it,
Jimmy Duradi seventy eight years ago today, November twelfth, nineteen
forty seven here on Classic Radio Theater with Wyatt Coox.

all coming up a week from today here on Classic
Radio Theater with Wyatt Tucks. Coming up next an hour
of fun with the Chase and Sandborn Hour.

Speaker 53 (01:15:18):
Instead of going down, the annual rate of polio cases
in this country is going up. Instead of growing panicky
with fear in the face of such an unwelcome fact,
there is a way in which we all can join
the army which is fighting to check this trend and
ultimately defeat infantile paralysis. We can contribute to the March
of Dimes give today so that the nineteen fifty two

(01:15:40):
March of Dimes will be the biggest ever and a
really potent fighting force against polios.

Speaker 6 (01:15:46):
Now on Classic Radio Theater, we get going with this

And a personal column see and it read quote.

Speaker 54 (01:24:56):
Ventriloquist's assistant at Liberty would like to meet first grade
high class Ventriloquist will travel right box ten sy.

Speaker 9 (01:25:11):
That sounds pretty good, Charlie. Yeah, you get any answers?

Speaker 10 (01:25:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 36 (01:25:14):
Two?

Speaker 54 (01:25:15):
One was from the great Frederick and the other from Bergen.
What did ed guy have to say?

Speaker 10 (01:25:25):
Well, he just wrote to Charlie. Haven't you learned your
lesson yet? That guy is psyche?

Speaker 9 (01:25:34):
It seems that way you'll have to try something else.

Speaker 10 (01:25:37):
Yeah, I have. I got an idea now that just
can't miss you. See that basket over there, Yes, I
noticed that it's full of letters, isn't it?

Speaker 54 (01:25:46):
Two hundred of them, and everyone is to Bergen demanding
that he take me back. See excellent, excellent, So many
letters are bound to impress it.

Speaker 10 (01:25:56):
You shirt can't miss now.

Speaker 54 (01:25:59):
Hello Rudy, Hello mister Bergin.

Speaker 10 (01:26:02):
What's that Eh?

Speaker 9 (01:26:07):
Well, Rudy, it's nice being back together again.

Speaker 10 (01:26:10):
Oh are we back together again? I'm not talking to you.
Hardly pays me to open my mouth around here. Look.

Speaker 8 (01:26:18):
I don't like to interfere, but it does seem to
me that you're being a little too severe with Charlie.

Speaker 9 (01:26:22):
Rudy.

Speaker 54 (01:26:23):
All I can say is that I made an appointment
with Charlie to be at my office Monday at two
o'clock to talk over the matter of taking him back,
and he didn't show up, nor did he bother to
explain his absence. Now, Rudy, I appeal to you.

Speaker 10 (01:26:35):
Now, Rudy, I appeal to you.

Speaker 8 (01:26:37):
You don't aware this is strictly a private quarrel and
fabia for me to be the innocent bystander who gets kicked.
Oh well, Charlie, why weren't you at my office Monday? Oh, Monday, yes,
Monday Mania.

Speaker 10 (01:26:51):
Oh I don't know. Everything went blank? Well haven't you
even got an alibi?

Speaker 18 (01:26:59):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:26:59):
I have, yes, uh huh, but I warn you it
won't stand much kicking around.

Speaker 9 (01:27:09):
Well, what is it?

Speaker 10 (01:27:10):
Well, you see I came up Tuesday instead.

Speaker 36 (01:27:15):
Oh you did?

Speaker 30 (01:27:16):
Yes? I did?

Speaker 36 (01:27:16):
Yes?

Speaker 10 (01:27:18):
Well, why didn't you talk to my secretary? I did?
Or you did? What did she say? She said she
was dated up every night this week? Okay, well you
know that's wrong. Yes, I tried to tell her about you. Oh, Charlie,
I don't know what to do.

Speaker 54 (01:27:34):
Oh, there's there's a lot of mail for you, mister Bergen.
I'd give you an idea basket over. There's this full
of letters. Don't you want to read some of them?
Hundreds of them? Interesting. Yeah, listen, young man, you're not
going to fool me with any of that phony letter stuff.

Speaker 10 (01:27:52):
You see there you are?

Speaker 41 (01:27:54):
You see?

Speaker 10 (01:27:55):
How can you stoop so low? I don't know.

Speaker 54 (01:28:00):
I guess we've been seeing too much of each other.
You know, there's around two hundred letters there all right,
So there are two hundred letters. So what you had
the made for a round? Two dollars one hundred? No,
so you're wrong then, mister oh am, I yes, it
was three dollars one hund Charlie, I don't know what

(01:28:21):
course to take with you.

Speaker 10 (01:28:22):
Take me back? Will go ahead? Take me back?

Speaker 54 (01:28:27):
Come man, let's start. Yeah, Well, I want to do
what is best for you. I didn't take me back.
Take me back here. Well, what hurts me most, Charlie
is the way you left me, ignoring my feelings entirely. Remember, Charlie,

(01:28:47):
when we disregard the value of friendship, we have lost everything.

Speaker 10 (01:28:51):
Yeah, I hate myself. I'm a cad.

Speaker 9 (01:28:55):
That's what I am.

Speaker 18 (01:28:55):
A cad.

Speaker 54 (01:28:57):
However, even your experience is with the great should not
be considered a failure. Well, I don't know what else
you could call it. Well, you're no different than the
average boy. When you went away. You left because you
wanted adventure and because you wanted to spread your wings.

Speaker 10 (01:29:13):
Yeah, spread the links.

Speaker 54 (01:29:14):
Yes, I didn't think i'd make a force landing in
a hot shop. But Charlie, h you're impulsive, you're irresponsible,
you're selfish, and you have an exaggerated conception of the.

Speaker 10 (01:29:29):
Value of money.

Speaker 54 (01:29:31):
Ladies and gentlemen, the opinions expressed by mister Bergen are
entirely his own.

Speaker 10 (01:29:40):
Mister Bergen, I don't think you like me as much
as you used to.

Speaker 54 (01:29:43):
Well, you're mistaken about that, Charlie. Your latest episode has
caused me a great.

Speaker 9 (01:29:47):
Deal of worry.

Speaker 41 (01:29:48):
It has.

Speaker 8 (01:29:48):
Yes, I lie awake night after night thinking of you
doing it all right, there's no reason why we shouldn't
get along much better.

Speaker 18 (01:30:00):
Better than we do.

Speaker 10 (01:30:00):
Why No, No, of course not. We have a lot
in common. Yes, we have. Trouble is you won't give
me any of it. Well, you have your faults and
I have mine.

Speaker 54 (01:30:13):
I agree with you there, and I'm willing to meet
you halfway and admit that I am partly to blame. Well,
that's fair enough, and I'll meet you halfway and admit
that you are too. I'm sure that you've learned one
thing about your experiences?

Speaker 18 (01:30:29):
What's that?

Speaker 54 (01:30:30):
You've learned something about life? Yes, it is a little complex,
isn't it?

Speaker 10 (01:30:35):
Eh?

Speaker 36 (01:30:35):
How true? How true?

Speaker 54 (01:30:38):
Life is so complicated? Bet a fellow would be lucky
if he wasn't born at all, But that seldom happens.

Speaker 8 (01:30:58):
Yes, Charlie, life, it's very complicated, and ten Panelli is
ready to sustain you. The blues are always popular, and
never more popular than when sung by Dorothy Lamour.

Speaker 9 (01:31:09):
So we leave the blue tune much new to Mademoiselle Lamour.

Speaker 44 (01:31:31):
What you?

Speaker 10 (01:31:35):
How is the world treating you? You haven't changed to be.

Speaker 49 (01:31:45):
Handsome as ever?

Speaker 36 (01:31:47):
I must get me.

Speaker 44 (01:31:51):
What you?

Speaker 13 (01:31:55):
How did that romance?

Speaker 49 (01:32:00):
We haven't met since then?

Speaker 55 (01:32:05):
She but it's nice to see you again.

Speaker 9 (01:32:11):
Let you.

Speaker 44 (01:32:15):
Probably I'm boring you, but seeing you is that?

Speaker 49 (01:32:24):
And you are sweet to walk through your hand.

Speaker 10 (01:32:29):
I understand hard.

Speaker 18 (01:32:35):
Couldn't my ad me what you?

Speaker 6 (01:32:40):
Of course you could know.

Speaker 10 (01:32:45):
I haven't changed. I still love you.

Speaker 18 (01:32:48):
So what you.

Speaker 24 (01:33:33):
Probably?

Speaker 41 (01:33:34):
I am worrying you?

Speaker 49 (01:33:38):
What seeing you is brand? And you are sweet to
offer your hand? I understand.

Speaker 55 (01:33:52):
I do.

Speaker 10 (01:33:56):
What my asking?

Speaker 9 (01:33:58):
What youse?

Speaker 41 (01:34:03):
You couldn't.

Speaker 49 (01:34:06):
I haven't changed, still love your sor to what you saw.

Speaker 55 (01:34:18):
You.

Speaker 8 (01:34:34):
As I traveled west last week, one thing that I
saw along the way impressed me. It was the way
fresh food is handled from farmlands coast to coast. Crisp
new vegetables, fresh eggs and milk were being rushed to
town and going through the cities, I saw the trucks
that carry another fresh food coffee. Yes, to provide every city,

(01:34:55):
village and crossroads with Jason Sanborn dated coffee at the
height of its fine. It's freshly roasted flavor. We've built
modern roasting ovens from coast to coast.

Speaker 10 (01:35:04):
You mean are roasting ovens in every section.

Speaker 5 (01:35:07):
Yes, ma'am.

Speaker 8 (01:35:08):
No matter where you live, there's a Chasen Sandborn roasting
plant within twenty four hours of your home, and our
rapid fresh food delivery service supplies your grocer from one
of the roasting ovens nearest.

Speaker 5 (01:35:19):
To his store.

Speaker 8 (01:35:19):
Well, I can see the coffee must have more flavor
that way, freshly roasted.

Speaker 32 (01:35:24):
Of course it has.

Speaker 8 (01:35:25):
The moment roasting has brought the coffee to the peak
of its goodness. It's put in the dated silver package
and rush to the store. It's handled rapidly like the
fresh food it is, and every pound is dated, so
I know it's fresh, yes, ma'am. No package stays in
the grocer's store more than ten days. In fact, here
in the East, we make deliveries every few days, leading
only enough dated coffee to last until the next delivery.

(01:35:48):
No other nationally sold coffee gives you this assurance of freshness.
Then it's no wonder so many people are changing to
dated coffee, especially when you consider this rapid delivery plus
the date makes costly containers unnecessary. We use the economical
silver package instead and pass the saving on to you.
Then I actually save money and get richer, fresher coffee.

(01:36:10):
That's it exactly, So ask for delicious chas and sandborn
dated coffee in the new silver package tomorrow. To me,

(01:36:33):
one of the most enjoyable things about being an official
greeter is the very enjoyable function of welcoming lovely visitors
such as our charming guest tonight, Gene Arthur. Miss Arthur
adds yet another proud feather to her already the feathered
cap by her grand performance in the Columbia picture. Mister
Smith goes to Washington. She appears for us tonight in

(01:36:56):
a radio adaptation of AA Milner's delightful one act plays
The Artist with Miss Arthur is Alan Marshall, a most
talented young man who has done such fine work for
Selznick International Pictures.

Speaker 9 (01:37:10):
We present Gene Arthur in The Artist.

Speaker 4 (01:37:28):
It is ten o'clock in the morning at the summer
home of mister Mappis. Evidently the owner is away, but
a girl is there bending over the mail table. She
is nervously thumbing through the letters, as if looking for
one in particular.

Speaker 36 (01:37:40):
She fails to not.

Speaker 24 (01:37:41):
As a man who enters from the hallway, h who oh,
who are you hello?

Speaker 30 (01:37:53):
I didn't mean to start you.

Speaker 10 (01:37:54):
That's what you did, you see, You're being the wrong person.
Made it particularly startling.

Speaker 30 (01:38:00):
Yes, I would make it worse, of course.

Speaker 10 (01:38:02):
I thought you were going to be mister Matheson.

Speaker 30 (01:38:04):
Oh, mister Matheson, No, I'm afraid I'm not.

Speaker 18 (01:38:07):
Well.

Speaker 10 (01:38:07):
Well, isn't your fault. I guess he had the name first,
didn't he? Was he expecting you? Yes?

Speaker 30 (01:38:13):
Yes, that is no whichever you prefer.

Speaker 10 (01:38:18):
Thank you very much. I think perhaps it's no the
nose have it?

Speaker 30 (01:38:22):
Do you mind if I ask what you're doing here?

Speaker 44 (01:38:24):
Well?

Speaker 10 (01:38:25):
I might ask you the same thing.

Speaker 30 (01:38:27):
Well, I live here.

Speaker 10 (01:38:29):
Oh no, you don't know, mister Mathieson, I've rented it.
Oh h, it's dreadfully hot today, isn't it dreadfully I
don't know when I've been so hot.

Speaker 30 (01:38:42):
That's hot work too. What is that sort of thing
reading people's mail?

Speaker 10 (01:38:48):
You are you presuming to suggest? Mister mister?

Speaker 32 (01:38:53):
But all?

Speaker 10 (01:38:53):
Thank you?

Speaker 30 (01:38:54):
But at all? Shall I put those letters down for you?

Speaker 52 (01:38:58):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:38:58):
No thanks?

Speaker 30 (01:38:59):
I like I was just going to forward mister Madison's
mail for him. May I have it?

Speaker 55 (01:39:04):
Oh?

Speaker 31 (01:39:05):
Are these his letters?

Speaker 26 (01:39:07):
Oh?

Speaker 24 (01:39:07):
So they are?

Speaker 10 (01:39:09):
Oh dear, I dropped one?

Speaker 30 (01:39:11):
H Now I get them here?

Speaker 52 (01:39:14):
We are?

Speaker 30 (01:39:16):
Now what about the other one?

Speaker 10 (01:39:18):
Which one?

Speaker 30 (01:39:19):
The one you didn't drop? I think you slipped it
into your purse?

Speaker 10 (01:39:23):
How quick you are, mister Bubble?

Speaker 30 (01:39:25):
Yes, of course, May I have it?

Speaker 50 (01:39:28):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:39:29):
No, you see this letter is mine?

Speaker 30 (01:39:30):
Is it addressed to you?

Speaker 4 (01:39:31):
No?

Speaker 10 (01:39:32):
Addressed by me? You see I wrote it?

Speaker 56 (01:39:34):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:39:35):
You wrote it, you know, mister Hustle Bule, mister Bustle,
You're very annoying.

Speaker 30 (01:39:41):
I'm so sorry.

Speaker 10 (01:39:42):
But after all, Oh, do you suppose I came here
to steal of family jewels? Say? Are you sure you
rented this place mister Matheson was coming back today. Looks
very suspicious to me.

Speaker 30 (01:39:54):
I can show you the lease if you're interested. And
mister Madison did come back this morning, and he left again.
I wanted to stay. And well, here I am.

Speaker 10 (01:40:03):
Here we are, and now if you'll give me my letter,
I'll be going.

Speaker 30 (01:40:08):
I hate to bring this up, but there's just one
more thing.

Speaker 10 (01:40:12):
What do you mean the law?

Speaker 41 (01:40:14):
The law?

Speaker 30 (01:40:14):
Yes, you see, once a letter has been through the mail,
it doesn't belong to the writer anymore.

Speaker 10 (01:40:18):
Oh you must be right.

Speaker 30 (01:40:20):
I don't think so.

Speaker 10 (01:40:21):
Try thinking so. Sorry, but that's the way it is.
Say you're not a policeman or a judge or anything strict,
are you?

Speaker 55 (01:40:30):
No?

Speaker 30 (01:40:30):
As a matter of fact, I'm an architect.

Speaker 10 (01:40:31):
Oh well, they're never very strict. Wouldn't help if I
ordered a couple of houses.

Speaker 30 (01:40:37):
I'm afraid not.

Speaker 10 (01:40:38):
Oh now, look, look if I told you that I
wrote that letter on a mad impulse and that I
want to get it back before mister Madison reads it,
what would you say?

Speaker 30 (01:40:49):
I'd say, why onath didn't you tell me that before?
And I'll give you the letter at once. Here take it.

Speaker 10 (01:40:55):
Oh, oh, thank you, thank you very much, said, yes, letter.
Have you ever had the mumps? Mumps? You know your
cheeks pop up like this?

Speaker 4 (01:41:10):
No?

Speaker 30 (01:41:11):
Not recently? Why?

Speaker 10 (01:41:13):
Oh nothing? It was true, you know about that letter?
I was running away from Uh, mister Matheson. Yes, we
were engaged, almost married, you might say, invitations sent out,
presents pouring in, meeting each other's aunt. Well, anyone could
run away from a husband. But it takes courage to
run away from all that.

Speaker 30 (01:41:30):
Yes, I guess it does. We wouldn't. It have been
pretty hard on mister Matheson.

Speaker 10 (01:41:34):
But you see, I didn't really love him. I tried to,
but I just couldn't. I was in love with Henry.

Speaker 30 (01:41:42):
Ah, yes, with Henry. And just who is Henry?

Speaker 10 (01:41:45):
Well, he's the one I was going to marry. At
the courthouse this morning. I thought mister Matheson should know,
so I wrote him last night.

Speaker 30 (01:41:51):
Well this letter you have here?

Speaker 10 (01:41:53):
Yes, yes, well I went to the courthouse this morning.
Exactly I got there. What do you think I've found?
No Henry, that's right, No, Henry. Just this telegram.

Speaker 30 (01:42:09):
You you want me to read it? Please have momps
writing Henry? Well, well, well, after all, it wasn't his fault,
but it wasn't mine. But I mean, well, of course
momps probably didn't improve Henry's appearance, but you wouldn't have
to see him until well, I mean.

Speaker 10 (01:42:27):
I never want to see him again.

Speaker 30 (01:42:29):
Well, that's hard.

Speaker 10 (01:42:30):
I don't mind his having them, anybody might have them,
but to time them so badly.

Speaker 30 (01:42:38):
I feel rather sorry for Henry.

Speaker 10 (01:42:40):
Of course, your men always hang together, you're all alike.

Speaker 30 (01:42:44):
We're not at all. I wouldn't even dream of having
momps on my wedding day. I'm not that sort of person,
aren't you.

Speaker 32 (01:42:51):
Well, of course not.

Speaker 30 (01:42:51):
All I meant was, well, I feel sorry for Henry
because because he's lost you. Anyone woud be sorry for him,
great big face and a broken heart. His heart isn't broken,
No mine?

Speaker 9 (01:43:03):
Would they?

Speaker 18 (01:43:04):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:43:04):
Yes, but you're different, Well that's what I keep saying.

Speaker 30 (01:43:07):
Different but still sympathetic with Henry.

Speaker 10 (01:43:10):
Wait, you haven't heard the worst. As soon as I
read the telegram, I well, what could I do? I
was staggered. I said to the boy, thank you, thank you,
and went home all dazed. And when I got in
the first thing I saw was another telegram. You can
imagine how excited I was.

Speaker 30 (01:43:29):
Here it is you want me to read it. Please
have mumps writing Henry.

Speaker 10 (01:43:36):
Have mumps writing Henry the same months, the same months.

Speaker 30 (01:43:43):
Well well, oh, yes, of course I see what you mean.

Speaker 10 (01:43:47):
Look at them have momps writing Henry, have momps writing Henry.
Doesn't that show you the kind of a man he is?
Mm methodical, He's probably telegraphed to everyone he knows in
just the same words. All over the country, telegrams are
being delivered half months writing Henry. Yes, I am funny,
take into trouble to put it a little differently in

(01:44:08):
the second telegram of sorry half months, or or sudden
bad attack of months, or even having months. But a
man who can sit down and write two telegrams exactly
the same, but a girl can't marry. That's sort of a.

Speaker 9 (01:44:23):
Man, especially such a pretty girl.

Speaker 10 (01:44:27):
You know you're rather interesting, am I?

Speaker 28 (01:44:30):
Yes?

Speaker 9 (01:44:32):
Yes?

Speaker 24 (01:44:34):
Now well where was I?

Speaker 38 (01:44:35):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:44:35):
Yes, that second telegram half months writing Henry. All that
made me so mad, being the same as the other
I telegraphed back, how funny, so have I beteen? And
I dashed right down here beteen, so you see, having
written mister Matheson that I was running away with another man, Henry,
I mean, And then finding Henry was having momps. I

(01:44:56):
dashed down here to get the letter back.

Speaker 30 (01:44:57):
Betteen And I've heard that name.

Speaker 10 (01:44:59):
It's a pretty name, isn't it. Fifteen Conway?

Speaker 30 (01:45:01):
Of course that's me. Yes, I mailed a letter to you.
Oh wait a minute, now I didn't. It's still in
my pocket.

Speaker 10 (01:45:06):
What sort of a letter.

Speaker 30 (01:45:07):
Well, this morning, when mister Mathews was here, he gave
me a letter to mail for him. Here you are,
I might have forgotten it for ever.

Speaker 10 (01:45:12):
This letter hasn't been mailed yet. No, then it still
belongs to mister Madison. That's the law, I believe.

Speaker 30 (01:45:18):
Oh I don't know. It can't matter matter.

Speaker 10 (01:45:20):
I'm very strict in these affairs. Who gets the stamp?

Speaker 30 (01:45:27):
Will you keep the letter and give me the stamp?

Speaker 10 (01:45:29):
Very well, very well, we'll see what mister Madison has
to say.

Speaker 24 (01:45:33):
Oh bad news.

Speaker 30 (01:45:36):
Oh what's the matter?

Speaker 10 (01:45:38):
Oh well, well, I'm jilted. You don't mean yes, mister
Madison was married this morning?

Speaker 30 (01:45:48):
Why that lowed down? I don't know. Id not to
pay his rent this week?

Speaker 45 (01:45:52):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (01:45:54):
Oh if only he got my letter first. I did
jilt him first? Didn't die?

Speaker 18 (01:45:58):
You did? I swear it?

Speaker 10 (01:46:00):
Couldn't we draw up a statement of some sort.

Speaker 30 (01:46:02):
Well, why not send your letter on to him just
as it is? I have his address.

Speaker 10 (01:46:07):
How clever you are. I didn't know architects were like that.
Oh oh but I can't. Why not because my letter
to mister Madison says I'm getting married and I'm not.

Speaker 30 (01:46:17):
No, that's right, you're not.

Speaker 10 (01:46:18):
It's awkward, isn't it all? Why didn't I just jilt
him about going into particulars about Henry wenbry?

Speaker 18 (01:46:25):
Well?

Speaker 30 (01:46:26):
Did you mention Henry's name?

Speaker 10 (01:46:27):
Not his actual name? But I said I was getting
married at once? And oh if I could only prove
that I jilted mister Madison first, and couldn't we steam
the letter open? And then I could write another and
use the same end blow because it's canceled with yesterdays day.

Speaker 30 (01:46:43):
I could make a suggestion you could get married?

Speaker 10 (01:46:45):
Oh but no, buts about it?

Speaker 30 (01:46:47):
You know he had the prettiest blue eyes.

Speaker 10 (01:46:51):
Do you think so?

Speaker 18 (01:46:52):
Yes?

Speaker 24 (01:46:52):
I certainly do.

Speaker 30 (01:46:52):
In fact, I like everything about you, you know, I
think mister Madison and Henry must be crazy too, you do?

Speaker 5 (01:46:58):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (01:46:58):
Yes?

Speaker 55 (01:47:23):
Oh?

Speaker 30 (01:47:23):
I know it would.

Speaker 10 (01:47:25):
You seem very sure.

Speaker 9 (01:47:26):

One of the most novel treatments of a love songs,
The Laurel Reef goes to andre Message, who, with manuscript
in hand and tongue in cheek, wrote a delightful composition
long ago in Alcala. Lancing Hatfield presents the humorous evidence.

Speaker 8 (01:52:05):
Love this evening, we put our best foot forward to
greet very Vague, that prominent lecturer and club woman. And
we all know for her sound opinions. Of course, there's

(01:52:26):
a great deal more sound than opinion. But we're behind
her anyway, and it's a pleasure to say welcome, very Vague.

Speaker 10 (01:52:38):
Thank you very much. Oh do I love this program?
I mean's more good looking bad?

Speaker 18 (01:52:45):
You know what.

Speaker 31 (01:52:48):
I'm quite a friend of yours, young man.

Speaker 51 (01:52:51):
Yes, yes, I nearly swoon when I hear you singing
when the blues the night meets the gold of.

Speaker 8 (01:52:56):
The day, boo boo, just a moment, it's vague. I'm
afraid you're mistaken. I'm not being Crosbie. My friends refer
to me as ruly valley.

Speaker 10 (01:53:09):
Oh well, what do you care? As long as you
have your strength?

Speaker 44 (01:53:15):
Oh my goodness, it's a small ball.

Speaker 9 (01:53:20):
Well, it's vague.

Speaker 8 (01:53:22):
I understand you're a lecturer of some notes and interested
in world affairs.

Speaker 10 (01:53:26):
Yes, yes, indeed, yes, I've delve deeply into political economy
and whatnot. And I'm I'm firmly convinced that the future
of this country lies in the youth of the nation.
I think the youth, by the young members. What are
you doing to night after? Shall I wonder if you'd

(01:53:51):
like to go to the Hollywood Bowl with me?

Speaker 9 (01:53:53):
It's the Hollywood Bowl. There's nobody there, That's what.

Speaker 10 (01:53:56):
I st of, Countigard.

Speaker 31 (01:54:00):
What am I saying?

Speaker 10 (01:54:02):
Well, we better get down the business here, shall we? Yees? Now,
as you may have heard, mister Valet, I've prepared a
lecture on American history for this evening. Now, as we
all know, America is located in the good old Usay,
the Columbus discovered it. He discovered it in that was Well,

(01:54:25):
it's easy to remember the date by that little poem.
Columbus sailed the deep Blue Sea in fourteen hundred ninety three,
or was it hardly a man who is now alive
in fourteen hundred and ninety five? Well, adi isn't important? Anyway,
we only have Columbus wed for it. You know how
these sailors to go on?

Speaker 18 (01:54:44):
You're an American, op.

Speaker 8 (01:54:45):
To mister Vallet, I certainly am. My great grandfather came
over on the Mayflower first trip.

Speaker 10 (01:54:51):
Oh how long is it going to say? You know,
miss Vague? A horrible thought?

Speaker 26 (01:54:59):
It's just a oh what's that?

Speaker 9 (01:55:01):
I don't think you an know a thing about American history?

Speaker 10 (01:55:04):
Well I certainly do, young man.

Speaker 9 (01:55:06):
Then perhaps you can tell me in what year they
fought the War of eighteen twelve?

Speaker 10 (01:55:11):
By certainly war of eighteen twelve?

Speaker 9 (01:55:14):
God, well when was it?

Speaker 10 (01:55:18):
Well, then about don't tell me now that we're of
eighteen twelve. If that's Philly's right.

Speaker 8 (01:55:27):
On the tip of my tongue, the War of eighteen twelve,
it is, Vague was fought in eighteen twelve.

Speaker 10 (01:55:33):
Well that's what I thought, but it sounded too easy. Anyway,
young man, don't you hackle me about my intonation. I'll
have you know I was educated in Oxford and Eton.
Perhaps you could sue them. Well, bless your heart, I am.

(01:55:55):
I don't know whether you know it or not, mister Valet,
but my uncle was a fine soldier. Yes he was
even though they did caught Marshal em for being a coward.

Speaker 5 (01:56:05):
A coward?

Speaker 36 (01:56:06):
What did he do?

Speaker 10 (01:56:07):
Oh well, it was just a misunderstanding and the pick
of the battle. They thought he was deserting, but it
wasn't at all. He were just going way back so
he could get a good running start when the Captain
Hill choked. Great fighters, you vains not bad to Bowers.
Oh seriously, this valley the most exciting thing in American history.

(01:56:27):
When the Battle of Bunker Hill. Don't you think, Oh my,
what a stirring event that was. It just makes my
American blood curl. Girl, anyway, can't you just picture General
a bunch of McCulloch coming around the mountains with his
Bunker Hill billies, every one of them, every single one

(01:56:54):
of them loaded to the guns, with loaded guns. Where
am I? What's the nie? Keep a type dripping yourself?

Speaker 9 (01:57:04):
And it's vague. You're the spirit of seventy six?

Speaker 10 (01:57:06):
Who's seventy six? We why I say what you mean?

Speaker 18 (01:57:10):
Well?

Speaker 10 (01:57:10):
Anyway, there's nothing that stares me like American history. It's
too American. N I always feel a little touched.

Speaker 9 (01:57:20):
Yes, I think you.

Speaker 10 (01:57:21):
Are a little nice service. Now wait a minute, John Madden,
I don't like your attitude. American history is American history,
no matter what I say. You say, after all, who
are you to insult my historical background?

Speaker 8 (01:57:36):
Well, perhaps because I happen to have a little historical
background myself is vague. I should be interested annoying that
my great grandfather fought with General Braddock, my grandfather fought
with General Grant, and my father fought with General Pressing
my goodness of.

Speaker 10 (01:57:49):
The matter, can't your folks get along with anybody?

Speaker 8 (01:58:11):
In all modern songwriting history? There is no more successful
to duel than my good friends Richard Rodgers and Larry
Hart The for the George Abbott show Too Many Girls,
The Boys have supplied a refreshingly new treatment on an
old theme called I Didn't Know What Time it was?

Speaker 9 (01:58:28):
I'd like to voice their ideas on the subject.

Speaker 50 (01:58:42):
Once I was young, yes, sir day perhaps times with
all the girls of the other chaps.

Speaker 41 (01:58:51):
Once I was young, but never was naive.

Speaker 50 (01:58:55):
I thought I had a trick or two up my
imaginaries sleep.

Speaker 9 (01:59:01):
And now I know.

Speaker 52 (01:59:04):
I was.

Speaker 55 (01:59:07):
I.

Speaker 41 (01:59:13):
I didn't know what time it was then I met you.

Speaker 58 (01:59:21):
Oh what a lovely time it was, how sublime it was?

Speaker 41 (01:59:29):
I didn't know what day it was. You held my hand.

Speaker 9 (01:59:37):
Long as a month of me.

Speaker 18 (01:59:40):
It was, and I'll say it was great.

Speaker 50 (01:59:46):
Fland to be alive, to be young, to be mad,
to be yours alone, plan to see your faith, spear
your touch, s heere your voice say I I'm all
your ally.

Speaker 58 (02:00:05):
I didn't know what here it was. Life was no pride.
I wanted love, and there it was, shining.

Speaker 18 (02:00:18):
All your life.

Speaker 41 (02:00:21):
I'm wise, for I know what time it is.

Speaker 32 (02:00:35):
Twilight in the desert. It's beautiful, isn't it.

Speaker 8 (02:00:40):
I knew it would be, but when you hear it's
indescribably quifect. I never dreamed that anything.

Speaker 32 (02:00:47):
Like this existed.

Speaker 8 (02:00:48):
Now now, I don't want it to ever end, and
yet I know that it must. But I'll always have
the exquisite memory.

Speaker 32 (02:00:58):
Of all this to keep with me.

Speaker 8 (02:01:02):
I wonder if you can realize how how wonderful it
is having you here with me. You asked if I'm happy.

Speaker 50 (02:01:10):
Happy, if drive to be alive, to be young, to
be mad, to be yours alone, trying to see your face,
stear your touch, hear your voice say I'm all your.

Speaker 41 (02:01:32):
I didn't know how here it was. Life was no crime.

Speaker 58 (02:01:42):
I wanted love, and there it was, shining.

Speaker 52 (02:01:47):
Off of your life.

Speaker 41 (02:01:50):
I'm wi or I'm know. I'm a.

Westwood, said George Buckley. The course of empire takes its
way Westwood across this continent moved the pioneers, setting up.

Speaker 9 (02:02:26):
Outposts of civilization.

Speaker 8 (02:02:28):
Those outposts are thriving cities, now centers of population, serving
their districts with all the good things of the world.
And in districts from coast to coast, we've built new
modern roasting plants for chasing sandborn dated coffee. No matter
where you live, you get this superb blend at the
very peak of its rich, fresh.

Speaker 10 (02:02:47):
Flavor because it's freshly roasted.

Speaker 9 (02:02:50):
That's right. Your own grocery will tell you.

Speaker 8 (02:02:52):
A rapid fresh food delivery system brings that fine coffee
to the store from one of the.

Speaker 5 (02:02:58):
Nearest roasting ovens.

Speaker 8 (02:02:59):
And every package is dated, yes, sir, dated right on
the front of the silver package, so our customers know
the coffee is freshly roasted and full of flavor. No
pound stays in the store more than ten days.

Speaker 18 (02:03:12):
We see to that.

Speaker 8 (02:03:13):
In fact, our trucks leave only enough freshly roasted coffee
to last a few days until the next delivery. That's
handling coffee like fresh food, which is exactly what this
fine coffee is. Yes, from the time it's taken out
of the roasting oven full of delicious flavor, coffee of
this high quality should be.

Speaker 9 (02:03:30):
Handled rapidly, and it is. It's packed at once, put.

Speaker 8 (02:03:34):
Right in the dated silver packages and set out to
the stores. And all this speed in handling, plus the
date on every pound, does away with the need for
expensive containers, and that saves money exactly. We use the
economical silver package and fast the saving along to your
customers and they appreciate it too. It's the most popular
coffee we've ever sold. Try it tomorrow, get delicious, freshly

(02:03:57):
roasted chasing sandborn coffee in the new Data server package.

Speaker 44 (02:04:25):

Brea a very path of which I wonder shows glorious
school and in the lone.

Speaker 18 (02:12:48):
No brain on grass that listens you, but he s
from and oh, oh my my exlay doesn't go. The

(02:13:14):
world is joying.

Speaker 52 (02:13:15):
Boo, I'm my class o the strain would I might
do all.

Speaker 36 (02:13:34):
With her frod.

Speaker 18 (02:13:42):
Oh.

Speaker 8 (02:14:08):
There is one worldwide organization which, in war and in peace,
in good times and in bad, and especially in times
of disaster, is ready every hour of every day, in
every year to help those who need help, regardless of race, creed, color,
or nationality.

Speaker 9 (02:14:25):
The Red Cross.

Speaker 8 (02:14:26):
The annual role call of the Red Cross is now
in progress throughout the United States and Canada. It is
the privilege of every one of us to support this cause,
and we will not fail. The cause of the Red
Cross is the cause of humanity. With the show over,

(02:15:11):
there are lots of ways to say good night. One
could say just plain so long, or one could say
in the flowery way that Shakespeare did, good night, good night.
Parting is such sweet sorrow that I should say good
night till it be tomorrow. But whether you prefer the
plaine or flowery way of saying good night, we all

(02:15:32):
agree on the best way to say a good cup
of coffee. That is Chase in Sandborne. Next Sunday, I
shall again have the pleasure presenting all your friends Edgar Bergan,
Charlie McCarthy, Dorothy Lamore, Robert Armbrewster.

Speaker 9 (02:15:45):
And the Chase In Sandborne Orchestra.

Speaker 10 (02:15:48):
And in the nature of a happy.

Speaker 8 (02:15:49):
Reunion, we shall be joined by our young old friend
Donald Dixon. Our guests at the festivities will be George
Raft and Alan Mowbray until we all meet again next Sunday.
This is Rudy Valley anticipating another.

Speaker 24 (02:16:03):
I hope.

Speaker 4 (02:16:22):
Next week another big Jason Sanborn Hour. George Raft, Rudy Valley,
Donald Dixon, Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy, Dorothy Lamore, Alan Mowbray
and Robert Arras from the Chasing Sanborne Orchestra heard on
this program the Riff song from Sigmund Romberg's Desert Song
and The Big Show by Jerome Kern. This is Jim
Bannon speaking for the makers of Chas and Sanborn Cofley.

Speaker 10 (02:16:51):
This is the National Broadcasting Company.

Speaker 6 (02:16:57):
Eighty six years ago, November twelfth, nineteen third the Chasing
Sandborn Hour. On this Wednesday, Classic Radio Theater with Wyatt
Cocks will check in with David and Claudia in a moment.

Speaker 60 (02:17:15):
Driving tonight, then remember this. Most highway deaths are caused
by two temptations to cut out of line and to
go too fast. Crossing the center line of the road
is more dangerous than you realize. Statistics proven excessive speed
is just as dangerous as officials say. You can predict
your own impulses, but you can never predict the other drivers.

(02:17:35):
When driving tonight, drive cautiously.

Speaker 5 (02:17:37):
Please.

Speaker 6 (02:17:38):
Now on Classic Radio Theater with Wyatt Cox, let's check
in with David and Claudia. The episode of Claudia seventy
eight years ago, November twelfth, nineteen forty seven.

Speaker 40 (02:17:49):
As we have some new residents in the home, your
Coca Cola botler presents Claudia.

Speaker 48 (02:18:06):
Claudia based on the original stories by Rose Franken, brought
to you transcribed Monday through Friday by your friendly neighbor
who bottles Coca Cola. Relax and why you're listening, refresh yourself,
have a coke and now, Claudia, Now that I've been

(02:18:43):
fortified by a strong cup of coffee, my.

Speaker 26 (02:18:45):
Love, Oh was it too strong?

Speaker 18 (02:18:47):
My love?

Speaker 40 (02:18:48):
Hush up?

Speaker 26 (02:18:48):
Would you mind explaining why you tickled me all night?
I didn't you tickled me all night long. You hardly
let me sleep a wink.

Speaker 25 (02:18:55):
I was only trying to see if you had a temperature.

Speaker 26 (02:18:58):
It felt remarkably like tickling. Oh did you think I
was going to change my temperature every five minutes? You did?

Speaker 25 (02:19:05):
I wanted to be the first to know. Hey, darling,
what do you have to go to the office today?

Speaker 26 (02:19:11):
I do? Please get that look out of your eye. Look,
I haven't any fever.

Speaker 25 (02:19:16):
Did you take it?

Speaker 40 (02:19:17):
I didn't have to take it.

Speaker 9 (02:19:19):
I've got a.

Speaker 26 (02:19:19):
Little cold in the head, and you're making it into
a milestone of medical history.

Speaker 25 (02:19:24):
And what in medical history will tell you It's best
to take care of a cold when you first get it,
isn't it.

Speaker 18 (02:19:29):
Oh?

Speaker 40 (02:19:30):
Doctors always exaggerate. It's their business.

Speaker 18 (02:19:32):
They have to.

Speaker 26 (02:19:33):
Besides, I haven't stayed home in bed since I was
eight years old.

Speaker 25 (02:19:37):
Nothing to be so proud of, really, David, the way.

Speaker 40 (02:19:40):
You look, what's a matter of the way I look?

Speaker 36 (02:19:42):
Well?

Speaker 25 (02:19:42):
Personally, I like you better without circles under your eyes. Oh, David,
please stay home.

Speaker 40 (02:19:48):
I promise not to bother you, but there is nothing
wrong with me except a little cold.

Speaker 25 (02:19:56):
God bless you did all. It's quite a big cold.
Oh listen, stop pretending.

Speaker 40 (02:20:02):
I'm only families. Who's pretending? Look, Claudia, I admit it.

Speaker 26 (02:20:07):
I'll go so far as to say I am proud
of it, proud of it. In fact, I'm so proud
of it I'd like to take care of it all
by myself. We don't have to share in everything.

Speaker 25 (02:20:16):
You're the most stubbornest person I ever knew.

Speaker 26 (02:20:18):
Most stubborn is is stubborn as stubborn can be.

Speaker 25 (02:20:20):
You're a stubborner.

Speaker 9 (02:20:21):
Out of my way.

Speaker 40 (02:20:22):
I'm all dressed and I've got a rush or I'll
be late.

Speaker 26 (02:20:24):
You won't be.

Speaker 25 (02:20:25):
You're taking a cab today, I am not.

Speaker 40 (02:20:27):
I shall walk. It'll do me good.

Speaker 25 (02:20:28):
There's no point in my informing you that you're a lunatic,
none whatsoever. Will you at least call me when you
get to the office lunatic.

Speaker 26 (02:20:35):
I'll give you a complete report on my state of health,
my temperature, pulse rate, blood pressure.

Speaker 25 (02:20:40):
How you feel will be enough. Hey, here's your overcoat?

Speaker 26 (02:20:43):
No, all right, I'll wear it.

Speaker 40 (02:20:46):
I don't think I'm going to make a habit of it.

Speaker 26 (02:20:48):
No, dear, and don't try to help me on with it.

Speaker 40 (02:20:50):
I've been managing myself for years.

Speaker 26 (02:20:52):
Don't forget your rubbers, and don't try to help me
on with them either. Say I'm not going to wear rubbers. Oh,
Dan's gotta have some pride. Mine starts with rubbers. Don't
look so tragic, Dolly. I'll be back tonight, safe and sound.

Speaker 40 (02:21:06):
David.

Speaker 25 (02:21:07):
If you want to come home early, why I won't.

Speaker 26 (02:21:09):
I won't stop worrying. Go see your mother, go shopping,
buy something anything, I will.

Speaker 25 (02:21:15):
I've been needing a sable coat. My old one's all
worn out.

Speaker 40 (02:21:18):
Fine, fine, charge it, Roger.

Speaker 26 (02:21:28):
I'm not too satisfied with the plans of this West elevation.
Oh the devil, these calls are on you some something.
You look a little feverish.

Speaker 40 (02:21:39):
I've got to run up the RedBerry tomorrow.

Speaker 26 (02:21:41):
I think you'll be up to it. I can manage
if you're not, and darn well better be up to it.

Speaker 40 (02:21:46):
The only point is will Claudia be up to it?

Speaker 26 (02:21:49):
It's Claudia sick too, terrible how his flu gets around. No,
she's feeling all right, but she thinks a man should
fall in bed with a hot water bottle in his
arms if he's so much as sneezes. That's than the
type of woman who doesn't care what happens to you right.

Speaker 40 (02:22:03):
Now, I just as leave.

Speaker 26 (02:22:04):
Claudia locked me out of the house and smothered me
with all this devotion. If I came home at this hour,
she'd get panic in. Send for the doctor. Claudia will
get over it when she finds something else to worry about.
Then you'll be jealous.

Speaker 24 (02:22:16):
Wait and see.

Speaker 18 (02:22:19):
Stay where you are.

Speaker 40 (02:22:19):
I'll take it, blessed.

Speaker 26 (02:22:22):
Hello, oh, hello, Claudia. Tell her I'm out. Tell her
I'm dead. No, no, no, no, you better not tell
her that. Tell her I'm fine.

Speaker 40 (02:22:29):
David.

Speaker 26 (02:22:30):
Yes, he's pretty good. I think much better. He went
to a meeting. Yes he was wearing his coat. No, no,
it hasn't hit me yet.

Speaker 30 (02:22:42):
Yes, I.

Speaker 26 (02:22:44):
I'll tell him.

Speaker 5 (02:22:45):
You call Claudia.

Speaker 26 (02:22:46):
Don't worry so much. He's all right. Yes, I'm very sure.
That's very sweet of you. Goodbye, says she feels safe.
As long as I keep eye on you. Quite a responsibility.
I wish you'd call it quits for the day.

Speaker 40 (02:23:04):
You're as bad as Claudia. Roger. All right, I'll duck
out now.

Speaker 18 (02:23:10):
You know.

Speaker 40 (02:23:11):
It's a funny thing when a man is afraid to
go home.

Speaker 26 (02:23:14):
Especially when it's because he loves his wife too much
to tell her that she loves him too much. Now
go on, get out of here, and for Heaven's sake,
button up your overcoat.

Speaker 1 (02:23:36):
Gee, I don't see what people see in turtles.

Speaker 9 (02:23:39):
I don't either, But all women seem to love them.

Speaker 1 (02:23:41):
Oh they do not.

Speaker 61 (02:23:42):
Well, take your time, folks, look around, and can I
help you?

Speaker 41 (02:23:46):
Sir?

Speaker 26 (02:23:47):
You want to buy a pet. You've come to just
the right place.

Speaker 40 (02:23:50):
I think you can help me. You helped me before
I have.

Speaker 26 (02:23:53):
I don't recall.

Speaker 40 (02:23:54):
Well you sold my wife a dog, and you found
in pop made you.

Speaker 26 (02:23:57):
Oh maje, yes, and see the h then you are
mister Norton. That's right.

Speaker 61 (02:24:02):
Ah, Yes, that major was a lot of dog. The
shame you had to give him back Muster near broke
missus Norton's heart, And yes it did mine too. Most
ladies outed up to a big dog like that. But
Missus Norton, she was.

Speaker 26 (02:24:17):
Now at tag My wife she used to favor canary.

Speaker 40 (02:24:20):
Oh oh mind if I answer that, no, no, go
right ahead.

Speaker 26 (02:24:25):
I'll just look around the moment and I'll be back
with your people in a minute too.

Speaker 1 (02:24:28):
Harry, Hello, did you ever see anything as cute as
those kittens?

Speaker 18 (02:24:32):
Ad he?

Speaker 1 (02:24:33):
You know, one kitten is worth a hundred turtles for
my money?

Speaker 58 (02:24:36):
Here?

Speaker 26 (02:24:36):
They are kind of cute for kittens.

Speaker 1 (02:24:38):
Don't you like kittens?

Speaker 49 (02:24:39):
Eat?

Speaker 9 (02:24:40):
Oh? Sure, sure, kittens are all right? But I know
why I like better than kittens? Titles both you do?

Speaker 26 (02:24:47):
You know?

Speaker 9 (02:24:47):
Who?

Speaker 1 (02:24:48):
Can't imagine?

Speaker 9 (02:24:49):
You want to know? I guess so I'll tell you later.

Speaker 26 (02:24:53):
Tell me now, I'm not a here.

Speaker 9 (02:24:54):
Too many people amount tell you.

Speaker 1 (02:24:56):
You know, it's not nice to do that. Stop saying
something and and then not say it. But I forgive
you this time. I look at him, Eddie.

Speaker 31 (02:25:05):
Do they have blue eyes on?

Speaker 1 (02:25:06):
In my dreaming?

Speaker 5 (02:25:07):
They're blue?

Speaker 9 (02:25:08):
All right?

Speaker 1 (02:25:08):
I wish we could have one, only one someday when we.

Speaker 9 (02:25:11):
Have a big house off by you. It doesn't how's that,
j Eddie.

Speaker 1 (02:25:16):
I didn't know anything could be so cute? Look at
how they play with each other?

Speaker 9 (02:25:20):
He kitty, Hey, hey, and they matter? Not be jealous
of those kittens?

Speaker 1 (02:25:24):
And you better take me away right now?

Speaker 26 (02:25:26):
Think I better, Eddie?

Speaker 1 (02:25:27):
Could I steal just one?

Speaker 26 (02:25:30):
Going out stealing things a fine way they start married life?

Speaker 9 (02:25:33):
Come on, now, where do you want to go.

Speaker 1 (02:25:35):
Let's go right homestead up to a movie, okay, and
I'll treat you to a caid nothing of the sort.
We'll walk and the money we'll say, we're putting the kitten.

Speaker 40 (02:25:43):
F it's a deal.

Speaker 18 (02:25:45):
You know.

Speaker 9 (02:25:46):
There was something about those kittens that reminded me of you.

Speaker 40 (02:25:49):
Ah shorry to have had you up, mister Norton. Oh
that's all right now, since it's big dogs.

Speaker 61 (02:25:58):
You and Missus North have a hanker, and I know
of a lovely saint Benata can get for you in three.

Speaker 26 (02:26:03):
Or four weeen. I can't wait that long. I'll I'll
take one of those small kittens, a kitten, one of
these little orangements here.

Speaker 61 (02:26:10):
Oh, mister Norton, I distinctly remember Missus Norton saying you
wanted the cat type, and I don't like selling cats
to them who aren't.

Speaker 26 (02:26:17):
Well, she bought major for me. I am buying the
kittens for her. Remarkable woman, and one extreme to the other.

Speaker 40 (02:26:24):
That's pretty accurate.

Speaker 61 (02:26:25):
But I can't oblige you, mister Norton. Why not not
with one of these too young, hardly seen the later
day yet.

Speaker 40 (02:26:32):
Not even ween yet?

Speaker 26 (02:26:33):
Well, tell me it's a lot of work. To raise
them when they're not ween.

Speaker 61 (02:26:39):
Oh Washington, triplets and kittens to be fed on a
bottler or trouble and fiction.

Speaker 26 (02:26:43):
The farming then really a but.

Speaker 61 (02:26:44):
You wouldn't know about that yet, or you wouldn't want
the kittens in a week, though they'll drink from masaucer
just like people.

Speaker 26 (02:26:50):
Then I want it right now today, while it will
still be a lot of trouble, you see, I want
it for my wife to take her mind off of thing.

Speaker 40 (02:27:00):
Dear still brooding about Major. Huh the gap of dog
can leave behind him.

Speaker 61 (02:27:05):
I shouldn't do it, mister Norton, But since I disappointed
it with Major, I'll take the blame for this myself.

Speaker 40 (02:27:10):
Well, I appreciate that. Now.

Speaker 21 (02:27:11):
Which of these kitten see you before?

Speaker 40 (02:27:13):
They all look the same to me, but not to
their mother.

Speaker 26 (02:27:16):
Well, you put yourself in her fur and pick me
out a good one one that wants to be pampered.

Speaker 40 (02:27:23):
You better make it male.

Speaker 61 (02:27:26):
Hell, here we are the sweetest little fellow of them all. No, no, no, no,
don't scratch Busters. How about making it too? Ah, Now
that's a nice thought, mister Norton. When Buster gets a
little lowl, it'd be lovely for him to have a
brother to play with. But you're sure to won't be
too much trouble.

Speaker 26 (02:27:44):
Oh, they couldn't be too much trouble. I'll keep missus
not nice and busy and worried, but not about me.

Speaker 43 (02:28:00):
Oh, darling, hello, before you say it, I'm all right.

Speaker 40 (02:28:10):
I'm getting better every minute.

Speaker 25 (02:28:12):
I think I called your office and Carol and said
you left ages ago, and then you felt absolutely miserable.
I couldn't imagine what happened.

Speaker 40 (02:28:20):
I went shopping.

Speaker 25 (02:28:21):
Well, let's not stand in the hall. It's offtly drafty
shopping what for?

Speaker 26 (02:28:26):
Well, not for a thermometer? A hot water bottle. I
can tell you that you've got one in each eye.

Speaker 25 (02:28:31):
Come on in and jump into a hot tub. I'll
make you hot lemonade.

Speaker 26 (02:28:34):
Oh I detest hot lemonade, David.

Speaker 25 (02:28:37):
If you don't cooperate, you won't even be back in
the office next week.

Speaker 40 (02:28:40):
That's what you think?

Speaker 25 (02:28:42):
Your hand over that box?

Speaker 24 (02:28:44):
What's in it?

Speaker 25 (02:28:44):
Anyway?

Speaker 40 (02:28:45):
What I went shopping for?

Speaker 25 (02:28:47):
Is this something for me?

Speaker 26 (02:28:48):
Stop being a trained nurse a minute, darling, and have
a look. Well, well aren't you going to?

Speaker 25 (02:28:53):
Oh David, you're the most wonderful idiot. I ever married,
going shopping for me because you're the guy that you're
a new.

Speaker 26 (02:29:00):
Because you're sick, Well that's hardly the reason. But if
you won't open the box, I will all right. Kitten,
very young kittens.

Speaker 25 (02:29:09):
Oh, David, they're so small?

Speaker 26 (02:29:11):
Can I hold it very carefully?

Speaker 10 (02:29:13):
Now, very old?

Speaker 25 (02:29:14):
Come here your little angels.

Speaker 26 (02:29:16):
Oh they're so softy.

Speaker 31 (02:29:18):
They're just little babies.

Speaker 9 (02:29:20):
He's nothing you're purring.

Speaker 18 (02:29:21):
They are.

Speaker 40 (02:29:23):
They're kind of cute.

Speaker 25 (02:29:24):
Look, David, I can hold one in each hand, like
just take little balls of wool. You're trying to bite me, David.

Speaker 26 (02:29:32):
They'll take an awful lot of care, darling. I actually
these kittens shouldn't have been taken away from their mother.
They're much too young. I'm afraid they'll be a nuisance.

Speaker 25 (02:29:41):
They couldn't be a nuisance to me. I love them already.

Speaker 26 (02:29:44):
I'm not sure that you have time to take care
of them properly.

Speaker 25 (02:29:46):
I make the time.

Speaker 26 (02:29:48):
Maybe I was hasty, maybe I shouldn't have brought them.

Speaker 25 (02:29:50):
Home, but David, you did so it's too late.

Speaker 26 (02:29:52):
You see, Claudia, they haven't been ween ween put on
a bottle.

Speaker 8 (02:29:57):
They haven't.

Speaker 25 (02:29:58):
No, wean them.

Speaker 40 (02:30:00):
You think you can of course, I can.

Speaker 25 (02:30:03):
You wait and see. I'll give them some warm milk
right away.

Speaker 40 (02:30:06):
Well, it's up to you. They're yours now. By the way,
they like their milk out of bottles like babies.

Speaker 25 (02:30:11):
I haven't got a bottle. It's too late to get one, too.

Speaker 26 (02:30:14):
Well, maybe a little coffee spoon will do good.

Speaker 25 (02:30:17):
I'll try it, Darling. I hate to ask you this bit,
can I can? I trust you to take care of
yourself for a few minutes, just till I get them settled.
Take your time, Claudia, take your time, all sorts of
things in the medicine cabinet. Help yourself, and I'll make
you some hot tea.

Speaker 40 (02:30:30):
Take your time, don't worry about me. Just worry about
those kittens. Give them all the care you'd like to
give me, and we'll all be fine.

Speaker 56 (02:30:38):
Take your time, dded, We'll all be fine.

Speaker 48 (02:30:56):
All story material used on this broadcast of Claudia was
under the supervision of Rose Franken and William Brown Maloney.
You're weighted down with parcels, and there are two more
stops to make before you start for home. Know what
to do then, instead of wearing yourself and your temper out,

(02:31:18):
stop at that inviting red cooler for a nice cold coke.
Then you'll shop, refreshed and go on your way in
a brighter frame of mind. Remember the cost of coca
cola for the pause that refreshes is still only five cents.

(02:31:39):
Every day, Monday through Friday, Qualia comes to you, transcribed
with the best wishes of your friendly neighbor who bottles
coca cola. So listen again tomorrow at the same time.
And now this is Joe King saying au revoir. And remember,
whoever you are, whatever you do, wherever you may be,

(02:32:00):
when you think of refreshment, think of coca cola or
ice cold. Coca cola makes any pause, the pause that refreshes.

Speaker 6 (02:32:36):
While giving Claudia something else to mother, Certainly we'll give
David some more rest, don't you know? Seventy eight years ago,
