the Lux Radio Theater starring Ingrid Bergmannand Joseph Cotton. In Notorious, Ladies
(00:25):
and Gentlemen, your producer, misterWilliam Keeley sweetings from Hollywood Ladies and Gentlemen.
With a collapse of Nazi Germany afterWorld War II, he was commonly
believed that many of Hitler's more fanaticfollowers escaped to the Western Hemisphere to pursue
(00:48):
their relentless plotting for world domination.Our plate and Died, while purely fictional,
is a sample of how these isolatedgroups may operate and how they may
be brought to justice. It's AlfredHitchcock's thrilling hit Notorious, produced by RKAO
and stars its original leading lady,Ingrid Bergmann and Joseph Cotton, two of
(01:11):
Hollywood's leading performers. Notorious might takeplace in any city, but actually we
find ourselves in teeming and exotic Riode Janeiro, one of the most exciting
cities of the New World. Ihave an air mail letter from a friend
of ours who made a flying visitto Rio and reports while shopping in the
(01:34):
fashionable Copa Gabanya section. I purchasedseveral exquisite examples of Brazilian lace. Imagine
my surprise when I examined them todiscover each piece labeled wash only in luxe.
Fortunately, Rox flakes are available atalmost every store in Rio, so
were we to stay here longer,I'd have little trouble following such sensible advice.

It's a phase. You don't thinka woman can change. Sure,

(09:41):
ten days now, and as faras I know, you've made no new
conquests. Well that's something, isn'tit? Ten days? Practically, white

(10:24):
nice, unspoiled child. Those heartis full of daisies and buttercups. Nice
day dream done? What I thinkI will have another drink. Yeah,
I thought you get around to it. Why won't you believe me? It

(11:13):
Something wrong wrong? No, nothing'swrong, Prescott. I'm sorry I
had to send for you. I'msorry I interrupted your date with this Hugelman.
Well, here's the setup, okay, by Brazil intelligence. The leader
of the German agents here in Riois a man named Alex Sebastian. Well,
if we know he is, whycan't we pick him up? Oh?
(11:33):
Sure, sure we could pick himup. The next day someone else
takes his place in whatever it isthey're working on, continues. Their headquarters
is Sebastian's home. We need somebodyto get inside that house, somebody in
Sebastian's confidence. In other words,Alicia Hoopeman, right, who said you
were having dinner with her when Icalled? And I'll go back to her
apartment then and tell her she's goodat making friends with gentlemen. So that's
(11:56):
meant to be funny. I thedevil's eating you. I. I don't
know if she'll do it. Youhaven't even discussed it now. But I
don't think she's that type of woman. She's never been trained for that kind
of work. They'll they'll see throughher. Miss Huberman was chosen for two
reasons. One her father was aNazi agent to Sebastian Wants Newer in Washington.
(12:18):
Sebastian Newer, Yes, she wasin love with her. I didn't
know that. You know it now. I'm gotta get miss Huberman inside his
house and find out what's going onthere. How how does she meet him?
And I think the riding club wouldbe best. Sebastian rides every morning.
The rest is up to you andmiss Huberman. You've hardly said a
(12:43):
word. My cooking isn't that bad. It's well done maybe, but still,
I'm sorry. I was so likegetting back Prescott. I believe what's
the matter, trouble In a way, all this secret is going to ruin
my little dinner. Come on,handsome, what is darkening your brother?
No? No, no, now, look I'll make it easy for you.
(13:07):
The time has come. But youmust tell me that you have a
wife and two adorable children, andthis madness between us can go on no
longer. But you've heard that lineoften enough. Oh that wasn't fair.
Let's gip it. You remember aman named Sebastian alb Sebastian Eyes. He
was one of my father's friends.I had quite a crush on you.
(13:28):
I wasn't very responsible if in town. He's part of the combine that built
up the German war machine. Hewho hopes to keep on going something big.
All the ear marks, we'll haveto contact him. Come on,
let's have all of it. Permittinghim tomorrow morning and you're going to go
to work on him. Not ahiring. She makes love for the secret
papers, press codsorders. Yes,did you say anything? Well, I
(13:54):
mean maybe I wasn't the right girl. Reception anigance, No, I forget
that was up to you if youcarried to back out. I suppose you
told him that Alisia Huberman will havethe Sebastian eating out of her hand in
a couple of weeks. She's sogood at that. I always say anything,
not a word, but that lovesicklady who cooked dinner for me.
I told you that, don't getcross dead. I'm only fishing for a
(14:16):
little bird call from my dream man. One little remark such as, how
dare you suggest that Alisha Hubbermann?Don't you, miss Huberman be submitted to
so ugly? Oh darling, Butyou didn't press could tell me that you
believe I'm nice, that I loveyou, that I'll never changed back.
(14:39):
I'm waiting for your answer. Quitea little twe you are you'll never believe
in me, not a word offaith. Just down the dream with Alisha.
That's where she belongs. Oh death, for me a drink and tell
me what I do. From possadyou'll meet Sebastian on the bridle Path.
(15:00):
Questioned you about me. I'm withPan American Airways Public Reservations. Anything else
happened to meet you on the planefor Miami. They that's the tale,
the better, that's all. That'sall, My beautiful dinner, cold cold
decie. I can't get over toLeisha, meeting you this morning, all
(15:31):
places of bridal Path and real didyou know? How do you know?
I wasn't looking for your palance?Oh? If I could only please.
You should didn't that prevail upon youwas taking to dinner? Half? You
look very well at alfter four yearshere dullness and disintegration. You look younger
than you did in Washington, entirelydue to your presence, Alicia, you
always affected me like a topic.Who you're looking at, my dear,
(15:54):
But man just gave me. Doyou know him? I don't think I
do. His name is Prescot Espionage. The American embassies loaded with him.
Really, they bothered you since youcame here. No, no, not
yet. That's one reason I leftMiami to get away from there. Snooped
me. I wondered why you leftyour father, he insisted, Alex.
He was so unselfish. He keptbegging me to leave. I had no
(16:17):
idea he was going to die.Many have died, Alicia. You mustn't
let our spin to die with him. Perhaps I can help you forget.
There's someone else, of course,is there, poor Lisia, That mister
Devlin who is with you this morning. Mister Devlin doesn't interest me in the
least. I've just been so lonely. I could have gone riding this morning
(16:41):
with Peter Rabbit. You will letme help your loneliness. Oh, you're
very sweet to forget what a whata brat ie was once. Well,
then i'll test your opens immediately.Who you have dinner with me again tomorrow
night? My mother's giving a littleparty at home. Oh, Alex nice,
you're sure you're she won't mind anextra game. Hope. An old
friend is never an extra case.Thank you, Elice. You look very
(17:11):
beautiful, Miss Huberman. Don't youagree, Devlin se Bastian is sending his
car, Misshuberman, I suggest weget out of her apartment all this time
now. Part of your child tonight, Miss Uberman, will be to get
the names of all the men yousee in Sebastian's house. Do you mean
the Germans? That won't be difficult. Don't underestimate them. They're a very
keen and desperate bunch. Anything else, No, nothing, good luck?
(17:32):
Thank you. Oh, unless wehave something urgent to report, we'd better
avoid each other for the next fewdays, just in case Sebastian's crowd wants
to check on you after the night. Very well, and don't meet here
when you do. What about theracetrack Devanly's tracks? Fine, we can
arrange a date by phone. Natallymiss Huberman. Well, well, good
(17:53):
afternoon, Den. I'm nice seeingyou a guy taking any winners. You
alone. Alex and his mother thebox and clubhouse. I'm sure they can't
see it. Play it safe,he keeps smiling. Well, I've seen
Alex twice since the dinner at hishouse. Was there his mother, her
servant named Joseph, and four othermen, William Russ and her Direk Matis.
(18:15):
They will hook can Bess Rands.Have you ever heard of Anderson?
He's some kind of scientist. Medium, high, gentle face, sixty years
old, gray hair, deep creasein his forehead. Are you writing this
down? Oh, I'm just tryingto check these horses on my program.
Last look happy? Will you?What about him Hook? I've heard of
(18:37):
him. No, he made quitea scene at dinner and bought a bottle
of wine. Bottle of wine.Yes, it was on the buffet.
Hooka became quite excited. He saidit should be removed at once. This
is what happened. They just ignoredhim and kept this conversation going. Hook
gets him quite flustered, an apologeticguy. I couldn't figure it out.
Did they serve the wine? No, not that particular bottle. Do you
think you've had any significance? Idon't know. I don't know what brand
(18:59):
was that. All I saw ofthe label wasn't Peach thirty nineteen sixty four
as we purpled anything? Since?I haven't seen it since? Nobody else
just a whiner? Right? Andyou may want for the record, well
you can add Sebastian's name to mylist of playmates pretty fast work. That's
what you wanted. Wasn't His mothersuspects me? Why? I don't worry
(19:22):
she believe him after her son's money. Are you getting on this race?
Mister Dublin? We are about tostart alex Is number ten? Is you
are to work? You can't helprecalling some of your remarks about being a
new woman dayes and buttercups with Usn'tit? What are you angry about?
You knew very well what I wasdoing. That you could have stopped me
with one word. No, you'reit. You're keep your eyes on the
(19:44):
race. I should not. Don'tyou tell me to go him? A
man doesn't tell a woman how todo. A woman tells herself. Almost
tell me believing hope people to midicalof yours that a woman like you could
change her spies. So that's whyI didn't try to stop you. The
answer had to come from you.I see some kind of loved that's right,
but you'll never believe in me anyways. What's the difference in fagusion number
(20:07):
ten? If I had believed you? What if I had figured? She
can never go through that. She'sbeen made over by love. You one
who wants to but you loved.Listen, I shocked up another boyfriend and
that's all no harm done. It'syou no occasion too. You're doing fine
(20:27):
work. I'll see that. Theyare told we're having a meeting tomorrow with
l Bosta because they were an intelligence. In case you interested. Number ten
is winning the race. That Sebastianknows how to pick them. That's got
to say. Dry your eyes,baby, it's out of character and be
quick about it. Here comes dreambold Seastian's what a wonderful Ragelsia tells me
(20:51):
you had a better on that numberten. Sorry I didn't meet you early,
Alicia. Well i'll see you soon, I hope. Yes. What's
the what, Alex, you're notat all excited about the race. I
didn't see the race. I waswatching you and mister Devlin. He had
an appointment to meet him here,ump, Sir, I just happened to
bump into him. She wouldn't appearanxious to get away. I watched you.
(21:14):
I thought maybe you're in love withhim, Alex. Really I did
test him. I'd like to beconvinced. Would you maybe care to convince
me? Alitia? But you know, mister Devlin, Senor Barbosa, mister
and this is mister Bidslee, alsoof our office, Senor Barbosa, Brazilian
(21:36):
Intelligence. She done, gitmen Wall. Our little theatrical plan is working,
Senor cot Thanks to miss Huberman,we know that adol Rensler is working here
in real He was one of Hitler'sscientific wizards none on as Professor Andrewson.
And and that body found in thesurf two days ago. Yes, identify
this description fit Samuel Hupka, oneof the boys who must have said the
(21:56):
right thing at the wrong time.And I'd still like to know about that
wine bottle. Excuse me, shing. Yes, the Hubaret she mis the
fresh girdle is the devil here?Yes, sure eh, I don't like
this are coming here. She's hadme worried for some time. A woman
of that sort. What sort isthat, mister Beardsley. Oh, I
don't think any of us have anyillusions about Miss suberin with not the slightest.
(22:18):
Miss Suberman is first, last,and always not a lady. She
may be risking her life, butwhen it comes to being a lady,
she doesn't hold a candle to yourwife. Sir, sitting in Washington playing
bridge with three other ladies of greatand impeachable honor, take it easy to
sorry. I think those remarks aboutmy wife are uncalled for, aren't I
apologize? Oh? Come in,miss Suberman, Mister Bedsley, Senor Babbo
said, how do you do?You have the esteem of my gotten But
(22:41):
we're worried about your vesting this office. I promise not to break the rules
again, but I need advice Icouldn't find mister Bremaven. Yes, mister
Sebastian has asked me to marry him. Well, well, I'm to give
him my answer lunch. I didn'tknow what the department might think about such
a move. You're willing to gothat far, right, monsieur? Yes,
(23:03):
if you wish? May I askwhat inspired Sebastian to go this far?
He's in love with me, andhe thinks you're in love with him.
Yes, that's what he thinks.Jesus, it is the cream of
the gist. Then then it isall right, Oh, it's an ideal
marriage for us. Yes, everythingseems to be raised perfectly. I don't
(23:25):
think you need me here any longer, Prescott or no, but we all
excuse me. Then, Oh,congratulations, Alicia, Thank you, Jeff
I knew you'd been pressed in amoment. We will return with that two
(23:49):
of Notorious. Meanwhile, here's LibbyCollins, our Hollywood reporter. I look
for you last Monday evening, Libbyat the Metro Golden There premiere of Castimolin.
Oh, I was there, missKilling, But I don't wonder you
didn't see me in those crowds.It certainly was an exciting opening. It
looked as if practically every star inHollywood turned out to see the screen version
(24:10):
of Sinclair Lewis's powerful novel. Youknow, it seemed just as dramatic the
second time, even though I'd seena preview at the studio. Spencer Tracy
is marvelous in the title role,with Lana Turner for romantic interest. Who
had it just couldn't miss. Thetriangular love story is always a great theme,
especially when Zachary Scott is the rivalfor Lana Turner's love. A perfect
cast and the gripping play like thatis every producer's dream and every feminine movie
(24:34):
doer will end the Lana Turner whenas Ginny and cast Timberlaine, she goes
on a shopping spree in New York. She buys herself an expensive glamor walk
girl, including some wonderfully whispy nylonstockings. I said to myself, if
John Kennedy here had been a technicaladviser, he would have included a shot
of her buying locked flakes to takecare of them. Well, it me
(24:56):
it's highly improbable or highly probable thatSinclair Lewis Heroin did because smart women everywhere
know that lux makes stockings last long. Well. As a matter of fact,
I know that the studio kept thosestockings lovely as new for retakes by
washing them with lucks Flakes after everywhearing, a wise procedure for women everywhere,
(25:18):
because tests show that stockings actually lasttwice as long when they're washed with lux.
It was really surprising how quickly identicalstockings washed with a strong soap or
rubbed with cake soap went in theruns. The lux ones kept going twice
as long, and the colors lookso much fresher too. That extra wear
is just like getting an extra pairof stockings every time you buy a pair.
(25:41):
That's why lux Flakes are America's favoritestocking care. We return you now
to William Keeley, continuing with thattwo of Notorious, starring Ingrid Bergmann as
Alicia and Joseph Cotton as Dublin.A few hours have passed. Elated by
(26:07):
Alicia's consent to marry him, AlexSebastian has just brought the news to his
mother Mary her what are to amoonstruck boy? Of course she is beautiful,
but far but many things her sympathies, for instance, where do they
lie? I've told you a dozentimes, mother, Alicia does not concern
herself with politics. At her father'strial, why did she not testify on
(26:30):
his behalf? Because her father insistedshe be kept clear of it. So
she says, but are you accusingAlisha of lying? I accused only you
thinking of marriage at a time likethis, risking everything we have worked for
suffered towardly. She knows nothing,she will know nothing, but I know
know what that she came here forone purpose, to capture the rich Alex
(26:52):
Sebastian for a husta, and shehas. You're being absurd. We will
just stut it morefully tonight. Wewill not discuss it tonight. You're as
jud as you've always been jealous ofany woman I've been interested in. Now
Nish and I should be married nextweek. Be private. I should both
be pleased to have you present ifyou wish, come in, Joseph,
(27:19):
did you want something? Only?Let me tell you how happy I am
that you and mister Sebastian at homeagain. The house needs you, madam.
Thank you you had a pleasant weddingtrip. Very as long as you
hear, Joseph my clothes, I'dlike all my dresses put out on the
bed please. I have heard allthe closets, madame, But there isn't
enough closet space in this bedroom.Isn't there a storeroom down the hall?
(27:41):
Yes, madam, by the doorit is luck. Don't bring me the
key please. Mister Sebastian's mother,Madame, she has all the house keys.
Oh do you know where mister Sebastian, is I believe he is having
a business meeting in his study,business meeting Professor Anderson, Madame and the
other gentleman. What would you say, Professor s I have news for you,
(28:04):
my friends, my work. Hestop them. Ah, you've been
successful, he said. Oh I'mterribly sorry. Oh Alicia, my dear,
come in. I didn't know youwere busy. Alex, and some
of the classes seem to have beenlocked. Could you give me the keys?
The keys? You mean my motherhasn't given year's not getting void once?
Excuse me? Gentlemen, Shall Igo with you? Alex? No?
(28:26):
If you're just waiting your room inleashalla malla? Are you sure this
is all right? Dead meeting youlike this in the public park. Stop
worrying. We're talking about keys.His mother keeps something, he's all but
(28:48):
one, the key to the winecellar. Alex keeps that one himself.
Joseph talking and get it from him? Get it? Don't you live near
him? What do I look forin the wine cellar? Bottle of wine
like that one that unnerved the latemister Hooker at age nineteen thirty four.
All wine bottles look alike to me, I'm no mask. You're doing all
(29:08):
right? It's not fun. Thenit's too late for that now, isn't
it. Why don't you persuade yourhusband to throw a large shindig and introduces
bride to real society. Next week'ssay, why invite me and I'll try
to find out about that wine cellar. I don't think my husband's interested in
entertaining. Don't underestimate your charms witha Sebastian. You can promote a party.
(29:29):
It won't be easy getting you there. He thinks you're in love with
me, then tell him that youthink if you invited me and I could
see how happily married you are.The horrid passion I have for you might
diminish. I'll try good and getthe key. I'll be looking forward to
(29:51):
seeing you, mister devil. It'salways a pleasure meeting you, madam.
Good days still shaving, Alex doo, hurry dear, our guest should be
arriving soon. Don't tell me yourdress, of course. Oh let me
(30:12):
let me look at you well,ohlsha like a dream, a dream?
No, please hurry, I don'tgo stay there and thought, oh what
about Oh you're dressing table wrong withmy dress? Do you mean to say
you carry all these things around inyour pockets? Or one thing? I'll
talk about a woman's purse. Lookat this letter, papers and letters too,
(30:33):
wallet, cigarette case, cigarette,hold and key the keys you know,

up. Besides you, you saidyou wanted to see me. Oh Devlin,
Yes, I acted like a stupidschool boy once again. I'm ashamed
of myself. You do believe me, Luicia? Of course? Thank you.
Aren't you coming up there? No? Not for a while, Professa
Anderson is still in the study sleepwhere Alisha, good night, Alex,
(35:37):
thanks for being so nice. Ahmah, come in, Why are you
so early? I need your help. Something is wrong. It's a great
deal, Alicia, as weeks.I knew it. I knew who is
(36:02):
it, mister devil? No,No, it's much more serious than that.
I am married to an American agent. Is Late last night, after
she went to bed, Joseph cameto me. There were some bottles of
a return to the cellar. Heasked me for the key. This key
it was gone gone. Where wasit? Ten minutes ago? And I
woke up at the back on mykeychain. She'd been down there for wine
(36:22):
star. It is easy to seenow. I knew long ago, but
I did not see they did becauseof her partner. I must have been
insane to babe, like an idiotto believe in her house, wallowing in
your memory. I'm done, mother, I'm finished. They'll find out.
And a seneric martist Rosna. Lookwhat they did to Hookah. It did
next to nothing. And I betrayedthem. I do the same thing myself.
(36:45):
Kill the fool who betrayed them.There is no need for them to
find out. Oh they're too clever. Who would imagine that you are married
to an American agent? No?Very well, at least the innority of
your stupidity is your protection, Alicia, take care of her myself. No,
not that way. I stood lookingat her just now she lay sleeping
(37:07):
in their be so easy or notas impictuous as you were before your wedding.
You barred me from that episode.Let me arrange this one. No
one else must know what she is. There must be no suspicion. She
must be allowed to move about freely, but she will be on a leash.
(37:28):
And then in time it will happen, but it must happen slowly.
She will become ill, remain illfor a time until one day with all
(37:52):
our perspect of identification. This isCBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System ACRO and
around the world. This is re N, the Radio Entertainment Network heard
on great stations like Harrisburg Area RadioReading Service, Harrisburg, Pepflvania. Our
(38:17):
stars will return with that three ofNotoris in a moment. Our guest tonight
is that Rarity in Movietown and NativeCalifornia, Long blue Eyed Jacqueline White I
understand you've been interested in a moviecareer since childhood, Jacqueline. That's right,
mister Keeley, and now you've seenyour dream come true with many successful
picture rolls. Well, I wasespecially happy with my partner r Ko's new
(38:40):
picture Night Song. You gave avery fine performance, Jacqueline as Merlo Brown's
best friend. She was wonderful inEnroll, mister Kelley. It's an inspiring
performance, and Dana Andrews at hisbest in those tender, sensitive love scenes
with Merlin. Dana told me youreally enjoyed playing the part of a composer
because he loves music, so there'splenty of that in Night Song, and
(39:00):
for every taste. I loved everyminute we were working. But I did
have a twinge of envy when Isaw those gorgeous clothes design for Merle Obron
one Negligee in particular. It wasvery simply made, but the softest,
most beautiful, sat and imaginable.Rule told me she was going to have
a copied for her own wardrobe,and John Kennedy might be interested in something
(39:22):
else. She said about it,something about luck. Oh yes, because
she didn't think it would wash untilthe studio loxed it and it came out
lovely? Was she impressed? RKO, just like other leading Hollywood studios,
insists on lux Care for all nicewasherballs. So what could be safer for
a star's own lovely things or forany girls? And here's another interesting point.
(39:45):
Did you know that with lux Careyou can have three times as many
pretty under things? Well that's forme, mister Kennedy, But how do
you figure it? Well? Underthings washed the lux wag stay lovely three
times as long. Tests proved thatidentical slips of Night He's washed the wrong
soon look faded and dragged. Soinstead of replacing slips often because they're old
(40:05):
looking, you can buy extra newones have three times as many. And
as you say, Jacqueline, that'ssomething any girl would like. Thank you
for coming to Night, Miss White. Back now to our producer William Keeley.
Be sure to join us after ourfinal curtain for a brief chat with

now. Why should she lie aboutit? I don't know. I don't
