Speaker 1 (00:00):
He Dave and a sterlings.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
I don't touch those. They're for the party this afternoon. Ozzie,
stop eating those olives. There'll be none left.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
They're good.
Speaker 4 (00:09):
Why are you getting so mad anyway? Leaving the pimentos
on the plate your buffet? It's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh of course it does. The solid silver with Beauty
that Lives Forever is International Sterling.
Speaker 5 (00:20):
And put down that stuffed age.
Speaker 6 (00:41):
The solid silver with Beauty that Lives Forever is International
Sterling from Hollywood International Silver Company, creators of International Sterling,
presents the Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, starring America's favorite
young couple, Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Higers. There are signs
(01:17):
of activity at eighteen forty seven Rochers Road, where the
Nelsons live. Harriet, busy as a beaver, scurries through the house,
putting things in order in the living room. Ozzie, husband,
and help me keep the boys out of Harriet's way?
Or could it be vice versa?
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Say?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
What's all is he doing? Anyway?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
What he's got a deck of cards and some sort
of a book. Oh I see it's a book of
card tricks.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I take a card, David, any card at all.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Okay, let's see, I'll take this.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
One and not that one. Any other cards.
Speaker 8 (01:50):
One sticking on the middle, he's pushing it at you.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Okay, now I'll take this one, eight of Shade. That's
right for David.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
That trick is what the book calls forcing a card
on a person. The eight of Spades was the card
I wanted you to take.
Speaker 9 (02:06):
That's what I figured when you poke me in the
eye with it.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Can we go now? Bam?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Don't you want me to do a couple more card
tricks for you?
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Sure, Pop, It's just that some of the kids are waiting.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
For us who are supposed to play basketball.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Just one more though. This one's a beauty, this one
on page sixty five.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
No, don't pick at the book now. As you know,
there are fifty two cards.
Speaker 3 (02:29):

Five, eight, thirty five, thirty nine, forty forty one, forty
two for three four five, forty seven, forty eight, forty nine,
fifty fifty one, fifty two.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
You saw them all, fifty two.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, okay, Ricky, pick a card, any card at all
we got for your eye?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Ricky, where can I that one?
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Now?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Tear up the card, tear it up. You know what
I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Tear Ita, now throw the pieces in the fire.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Good.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Now I counted out the cards, and you saw there
were fifty two.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Ricky has taken one card and torn it up, or
so it would seem. But when I count them out,
there will be.
Speaker 10 (03:26):
Eight fifteen, twenty five, eight thirty, eighty three, eighty seven,
forty forty one, forty two, forty three, forty four, forty five,
forty six, forty seven, forty eight, forty nine, fifty fifty one.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
David, would you get me another deck of cards? Please?
Speaker 11 (03:52):
What's that one called?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Pop? Forcing a person to tear up a card?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
No, worked perfectly last night.
Speaker 8 (03:58):
Can we go out? Pop?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, of course, I was just trying to entertain you
a little.
Speaker 8 (04:03):
Why did you do some tricks for mom?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
She doesn't play basketball?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, your mother's busy making sandwiches, and well that's okay, Fellaws.
Speaker 12 (04:10):
You go ahead, Harried, Harry, Where are you, Harriet?
Speaker 11 (04:19):

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Oh yes, Harriet, take a card.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Oh I'm awfully busy, Dear.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
The house is an absolute mess, and the girls will
be here at three o'clock.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
We don't have to stop working. You just take a card,
come on, any card at all. Okay, now put it
back in the deck. Shuffle of cards, cut them. What
was the card you selected of diamonds?
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Now?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Will you look at the top card please?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
All right, by Alfie, that's wonderful. You fooled me completely.
That was gon be the ten of diamonds in the
support club.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Well, it's uh, it's oh, it's pretty clever. It's it's
a very clever.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You'll pardon me there.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I have so much to no, just one more huh.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
This one is called forcing a card on a person.
Now take a card, anyone at all.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Oh, my eyes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I'll get it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I can see it kitchen in the eye.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
Hello, Hello, Harriet's.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Mother tried again. I'll take another car.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
Are you mind, dear?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Here, take a card now.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'm talking to mother.
Speaker 8 (05:39):
Yes, I know you are, dear.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I was talking to Ozzie.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Oh it sounded like you said you were talking to mother.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I was, but I was talking to Ozzy here.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Now, any card at all?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Pardon me, mother, Ozzie, stop it?
Speaker 8 (05:53):
Shall I call back later.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's all right, mother, I'll be doing card tricks for me.
If you did not take a card just a minute, mother.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
That's it now put the card back. But remember it.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
What car did you get?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Dear?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
The ten of clubs?
Speaker 11 (06:15):
Harry? You told me the card?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I told mother, take another one?
Speaker 8 (06:21):
What's that? Mother? I didn't say anything.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
You would, Oh, I know he'd be delighted.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
What did she say?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
She wants to know if you'll come over and entertain
her this afternoon. Mother loves card tricks, Harriet.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
I said, no such thing. I'm not going to be
your husband sitter.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well go ahead and talk to your mother. I want
to practice this a little more.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
David.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
This is the afternoon you're having the girls over, isn't it, Dear, Yes, mother,
three o'clock. That's what I thought, And I'm happy to
tell you you couldn't have kicked a better day. I
looked up your Horrisco and today is your day to
meet people. You're bubbling over with personality.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Well that's nice to hear, but frankly, I think I'd
bubble a lot more if I could get Cardini out.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Of the house. Oh, Dear Shuffles Nelson better nuts is Ozzie.
He's been thick of carting me to death all day.
Somebody gave him a book of card tricks for Christmas,
and unfortunately he's just discovered it.
Speaker 8 (07:13):
Now, dear, you don't want to hurt his feelings. If
you want Ozzie out of the house, I'll give you
a formula I used to use on your father. It
got him out of the house every time.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Or go ahead, I'll try anything.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
It's just ordinary psychology, but it always works. Just tell
him how nice it is having him around the house.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Is that all?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
No?
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Then you ask him to help.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You with a few things, and that's all there is
to it.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
No, not, Now this part is very important. Step back
and make sure the door is open.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, thanks for the advice, mother, because I've got a
million things to do.
Speaker 8 (07:47):
I know what a nuisance it can be having interruptions
when you're getting ready for a body.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Yes, well thanks mother, I got just don't realize when
they're in.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
The way, they aren't assentsiitive to those things as women are.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You're right, mother, We talk, say you want.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
One thing and they'll do the other.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yes, mother, Well I really have to finish.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
My clever, isn't it. But it's reliable. Just say the opposite.
Am I holding you up? The ears? If I'm keeping
up from your work. I'll get off the phone.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Well, frankly, mother, No, not at all, keep right on talking.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Mother, Okay, goodbye, dear.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
What does your mother want?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
She just called me up. Tell me about my horoscope.
According to mother, this is a good day for me.
The tea party will be a tremendous success.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Good for you.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I sure get a kick out of your mother in
that astrology book.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Pick a card, Harriett.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh mother, you know, dear, it's awfully nice having you
around this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What'd you say?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I say, it's awfully nice having you around after.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Being married thirteen years.
Speaker 11 (08:59):
I'm glad here you only say that.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I mean today in particular, dere you're such a studying influence.
She's so much fun too. You'll let me hang this
dust rag over your arm, and not many women have
such a wonderful husband. Let me lean this mop against you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You're still wear's my coat. I know what you're up to.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
What do you mean what I'm up to?
Speaker 11 (09:18):
Harriet?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Your mother's a fine woman, but when it comes to psychology,
she should stick to being.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
A fine woman. What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I don't know what you're trying to do. She told
you to try a little psychology on me. But it's
not gonna work. Oh you know I know reverse psychology.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You pretend you want me around the house, so I'll leave.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
That's reverse psychology. Oh but knowing that I know reverse.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Psychology, you try reverse reverse psychology. See you say you.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Want me inside, so I'll think you want me outside.
Actually you want me inside, but thinking you want me outside,
I stay inside. But I'm going to fool you. I'm
going outside.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
Clever for me.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I just no psychology.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You can even reverse reverse reverse psychology, so it's triple reverse.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Now that works this way. You want me outside.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I think you want me inside, but you really want
me outside. So instead of staying outside, I say no, no,
I go outside.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Ozzie, Yes, pick a card.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
My eyes?
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Oh hello, Thorny, what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It's amazing how people can go off on ridiculous tangents.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
Who's having mine?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Harriet's mother, for INDs, is a wonderful woman. I'm very intelligent.
But she got a book of astrology for Christmas, and
now she pesters everybody to death with.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Horoscopes, all a silly junk.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
I'm not so sure about that. Eyes an awful lot
of people believe in that stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
A lot of people believe in anything, Thorny. What's your
horoscope for today? Well, she didn't tell me mine, just Harriet's.
This is a very good day for Harriet, A lucky day. Oh.
Pick a card, Thorny, any card at all.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
See, I'll take this one.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Funny.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
She didn't tell your horscope. I put it back in.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
The deck that said, you mean, maybe mine isn't so
good for today, unlucky day or something.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah. Well, actually she wouldn't tell you.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
She wouldn't want you to worry.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
If this were a dangerous day for me. Harry wouldn't
let me out of the house. You see, she'd insist
something the matter on. We'll come to think of it.
She did try to keep me in the house. She
even used reverse psychology.
Speaker 13 (11:31):
Some what are you waiting for.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Oh, Thorny. Those horoscopes are a lot of silly nonsense.
Speaker 11 (11:36):
Maybe yes and maybe no.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
I happened to look mine up in a book one day,
and it said a relative will cause you financial worry. Well,
that same afternoon I.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Got a letter from a relative.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Uh huh, Uncle Sam wanted fifty five dollars more income to.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Wait a minute, Thorny. It just dawned on me. Harriet
wants me to stay in this afternoon, and for a.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
Very good reason.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
We'll sure you horoscope. No, no, this has nothing to
do with horoscopes. She's giving a tea party this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Of course I should.
Speaker 11 (12:06):
Have thought of it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
She wants me to entertain with my card tricks. Oh,
by the way, what happened to the card you picked?
You put it back in the deck and shovel it.
Oh we got to talking here, I forgot which one?
Oh that's it right there?
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Well, how can you tell I can still see the
dent you putting it with your fingernail. Get back in
the house, Oz, please, I'm worrying, Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
What are you doing back?
Speaker 11 (12:35):
I hope that is?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I thought you'd gone.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
To the day. Oh, Harriet, I couldn't leave you an alert.
I'm back to lend you a hand.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh, but honestly, dear, I don't need one. I'm doing beautifully.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Oh, Harriet, never mind the psychology.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Why didn't you just come out and say you want
me to entertain with my card tricks?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Your car trick?
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Oh, Ozzie, really, dear you wouldn't want to do your
tricks for a lot of women.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
We wouldn't appreciate.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Them, Harriet, If you don't want me in the house,
just say so, Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I love you dearly, but I don't want you in
the house this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Reverse psychology. When will you learn that I'm wise of that?
You say you don't when you do?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, there, I'll consist. I hate to impose on you.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
But do you suppose I could coax you to do
a few card tricks for the ladies.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
This afternoon, just as I saw?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Of course, I will, dear, dear, pick a card.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
No do you.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Suppose could Thorny be right about Ozzie's horoscope? Or is
he just jumping to conclusions?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
It's human enough, Goodness knows.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Take some of you.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
For instance, you know the way prices have been soaring
the last few years. Now, who could blame you if
you jump to the conclusion that international sterling prices have
risen too.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
But here's the.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Wonderful thing about international sterling prices have not gone up.
Other leading silver people have raised their prices, But your
favorite international sterling pattern costs the same today as in
nineteen forty four. Why do you know you can save
twenty dollars by getting eight play settings in an international
Sterling pattern like spring Glory rather than some other sterling. Yes, sir,
(14:23):
and with that twenty dollars you could buy eight additional teaspoons.
This is international sterling, mind you. Solid silver that is
artists designed, created and finished in jewel like detail at
the hands of master craftsmen. See it at your international
sterling dealers. Choose it with pride, cherish it always for
the solid silver with beauty that lives forever.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Is international Sterling.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
See that man with pul deck in hand following Harriet
Nelson around the dining room. That's Ozzie Nelson's father, husband,
And take a card. Ozzy's always been fascinated by the
art of rest of digitation ramps.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
He'll not stop with mere card.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Tricks, but go on to greater things, wonderful, mysterious, unbelievable
feats of magic.
Speaker 14 (15:26):
Ladies and gentlemen. In my right hand you see a pistol.
Speaker 12 (15:30):
In my left hand, I hold a small boy. I
take aim with the pistols ry, I pull the trigger.
And in my left hand you now see a small
boy with a hole.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
In his head. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 12 (15:55):
Before me, you observe a table. On the table, I
shall cat into this heat. I shall now break several eggs,
a quart of milk, two or three ripe.
Speaker 11 (16:11):
Tomatoes, and the bottle of ink. I take the magic
wand wave it above.
Speaker 12 (16:19):
The hat, and presto, I reach inside the heaven.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Flow everybody, a small.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
Messy boy with a hole.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
In his head.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
Ladies and gentlemen, I shall now perform the greatest trick
ever conceived. Standing before me, you see a long wooden box.
Speaker 11 (16:50):
In this hand, I have a saw, and this hand
I have a small boy.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Flow everybody with a hole in his head.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
I now place the small boy in the box, put
the lid on, and now I saw.
Speaker 11 (17:11):
The box is now and two pieces.
Speaker 12 (17:14):
I separate the pieces, and hi, everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
There's no telling how far Ozzi may progress it the
field of magical science. Perhaps he's about to spring one
of his newest mysterious tricks at this very moment.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Harriet, take a card, Oh Ozzie, please, I've got to
making sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Sandwiches, sandwiches.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Take a card, all right, I'll close my eyes while
you slip it back in the deck. Okay, now I shuffle, Harriet, yes, dear,
give me back the card and take the slice of
ham out of the deck.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I'll see who's at the door. Will Yader.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Hel Hello, Emmy Lou.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Come on, I brought over the napkins missus Nelson wanted
to borrow for thee this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Take a card, Emmy Lou.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Oh, mister Nelson, do you do card trick?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
My goodness, it seems to be no end.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
To your talent.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Well, I've only been doing them for a few days.
I'm really not very good yet.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
Oh, yes you are. You're wonderful.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
You're terrify.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I thank you. Let me do the trick first. Here,
take a card.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Anyone at all, King of No, No, no, no, Emmy Lou,
you're not supposed to tell me the card. I'm supposed
to tell you. You see, that's the trick. I try it again.
I'll take a card. Let me see I talk this
one now, don't let me see it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Okay, now what do I do?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Put it back in the deck.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
This is so exciting.
Speaker 15 (18:49):
Now what did you say? Watch carefully now, because I'm
going to shuffle.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
I get back.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
I look through the cards and there's the one you
picked out the five of hearts.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
That's it, isn't it?
Speaker 8 (19:10):
Oh dear, I'm so.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Sorry, mister Nelson. I got so excited I forgot to look.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Do it again?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I better rest my fingers a while. My little pinky
is getting a Charlie horse.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
How come you're staying at home today?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
With all these women coming to keep well?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Missus Nelson wanted me to stay around and sort of
keep things going.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Oh how thoughtful, mister Nelson. How concerned have you? You're
the kind of man I want to marry.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You are, mister Nelson, a perfect darling, a man who.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Is just one of the girls.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Are you sure you're not looking at me from an
angle life? The reason I'm here is because, well, Missus
Nelson is practically forced me to stay. You see, she
wants me to entertain with my card tricks. She kept
coaxing me, so I finally gave him.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
That's just like you.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Oh there's another factor involved to Missus Nelson's mother has
a lot of faith in astrology, and she.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Told Missus Nelt this.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
She told Missus Nelson my horoscopes, that would be dangerous
for me to go out today.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
But of course I don't believe in that stuff.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Oh, I wouldn't, Scott if I were you.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
You're talking just the way poor cousin Susie talked before
she passed on.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Oh no, dude, That's why I feel so guilty. I
did my best to keep you out of the house.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Harriet, what are you trying to give me? You wanted
to be in the house.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I know all about my horoscope saying it'd be dangerous
for me to go outdoors today.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
What horoscope? Didn't your mother tell you that?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Mother didn't even mention your horoscope?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Well, some I got the idea someplace. What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (25:41):
I'm just curious. I want to see what your hors
soape is for today? So your pisces antually much twentie
icy icy look under.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
TUTSI rolls.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
It is.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
Oh, it's lucky you did stay in today.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Then Thorny was right. It could have been dangerous, not
for you.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Dear, but for me.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Listen to this, wanting two wives be careful of your husband.
Today is the one day in the year he is
irresistible to women.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Well, no wonder you were such a tremendous success with
your card chack irresistible.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Ah, that stuffs a lot of nonsense.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Harriet, Yes, dear, I think I'll take a stroll down
to the corner and get a paper.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Oh, Auzie, how can you be so cruel?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Cruel?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Of course, dear, didn't you hear your hors go? You're
irresistible to women today?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Oh, Harry, stop kidding, but you really are, Dear.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I ought to know I'm a woman.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Please stay home, Okay, it'll make you happy. I'll stay
in the house the rest of the day.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Is that a promise?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
That's a promise.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Well, thank goodness, I was afraid I was going to
have to do all dishes by myself.
Speaker 6 (27:18):
Ozzie and Harriet will be back in just a moment. Well, men,
now you know how to be coming irresistible hit with
the ladies. Just fix yourself up a good horoscope.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
Uh uh, do what I did.
Speaker 16 (27:30):
Get yourself a job in mister Jonathan's silverware store selling
international sterling spring glory pattern. Gosh, mister Smith, I can't
keep the ladies away.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Well, I should hope not spring glory is one of
the loveliest patterns International Sterling has ever created.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Boy, do those gals love me?
Speaker 16 (27:48):
I bring out my velvet mat and put down a knife,
fork and spoon in the spring glory pattern. Then I
point out the unusual features. I like the open work
on the handle and the way it unfolds into one.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Perfectly carved flower. Why, mister Smith, I have those women
hanging on my every word.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Yes, especially when you mentioned the price I imagine for
International Sterling alone among leading silver people, has not raised
prices since nineteen forty four.
Speaker 16 (28:15):
Yeah, I guess what you mean, mister Smith. That it's
that it isn't irresistible me. It's irresistible International Sterling that
brings all those women into mister Jonathan silverware store.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Well, all I know is that no woman can ever
resist the solid silver with beauty that lives forever, and
that's International Sterling.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Harriet. Yes, dear, are you asleep?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Not quite why?
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I just figured out to do how to do that trick?
I couldn't remember this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Take a card ozzie, any cardigal ozzie. Yes, dear, it's
after midnight. You're no longer irresistible to women.
Speaker 6 (29:02):

Speaker 3 (00:07):

Speaker 4 (00:09):
Why are you getting so mad anyway? Leaving the pimentos

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh of course it does. The solid silver with Beauty

Speaker 5 (00:20):

presents the Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet, starring America's favorite
young couple, Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Higers. There are signs
(01:17):
of activity at eighteen forty seven Rochers Road, where the
Nelsons live. Harriet, busy as a beaver, scurries through the house,
putting things in order in the living room. Ozzie, husband,
and help me keep the boys out of Harriet's way?
Or could it be vice versa?
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Say?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
What's all is he doing? Anyway?
Speaker 6 (01:34):
What he's got a deck of cards and some sort
of a book. Oh I see it's a book of
card tricks.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I take a card, David, any card at all.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Okay, let's see, I'll take this.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
One and not that one. Any other cards.
Speaker 8 (01:50):
One sticking on the middle, he's pushing it at you.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Okay, now I'll take this one, eight of Shade. That's
right for David.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
That trick is what the book calls forcing a card
on a person. The eight of Spades was the card
I wanted you to take.
Speaker 9 (02:06):
That's what I figured when you poke me in the
eye with it.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
Can we go now? Bam?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Don't you want me to do a couple more card
tricks for you?
Speaker 7 (02:14):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Sure, Pop, It's just that some of the kids are waiting.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
For us who are supposed to play basketball.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Just one more though. This one's a beauty, this one
on page sixty five.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
No, don't pick at the book now. As you know,
there are fifty two cards.
Speaker 3 (02:29):

Yeah, okay, Ricky, pick a card, any card at all
we got for your eye?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Ricky, where can I that one?
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Now?
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Tear up the card, tear it up. You know what
I'm doing.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Tear Ita, now throw the pieces in the fire.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Good.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Now I counted out the cards, and you saw there
were fifty two.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Ricky has taken one card and torn it up, or
so it would seem. But when I count them out,
there will be.
Speaker 10 (03:26):
Eight fifteen, twenty five, eight thirty, eighty three, eighty seven,
forty forty one, forty two, forty three, forty four, forty five,
forty six, forty seven, forty eight, forty nine, fifty fifty one.

Speaker 11 (03:52):
What's that one called?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Pop? Forcing a person to tear up a card?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
No, worked perfectly last night.
Speaker 8 (03:58):
Can we go out? Pop?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, of course, I was just trying to entertain you
a little.
Speaker 8 (04:03):
Why did you do some tricks for mom?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
She doesn't play basketball?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well, your mother's busy making sandwiches, and well that's okay, Fellaws.
Speaker 12 (04:10):

Oh I'm awfully busy, Dear.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
The house is an absolute mess, and the girls will
be here at three o'clock.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
We don't have to stop working. You just take a card,
come on, any card at all. Okay, now put it
back in the deck. Shuffle of cards, cut them. What
was the card you selected of diamonds?
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Now?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Will you look at the top card please?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
All right, by Alfie, that's wonderful. You fooled me completely.
That was gon be the ten of diamonds in the
support club.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Well, it's uh, it's oh, it's pretty clever. It's it's
a very clever.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You'll pardon me there.

I have so much to no, just one more huh.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
This one is called forcing a card on a person.
Now take a card, anyone at all.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Oh, my eyes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
I'll get it.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
I can see it kitchen in the eye.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
Hello, Hello, Harriet's.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Mother tried again. I'll take another car.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
Are you mind, dear?
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Here, take a card now.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I'm talking to mother.
Speaker 8 (05:39):
Yes, I know you are, dear.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I was talking to Ozzie.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Oh it sounded like you said you were talking to mother.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I was, but I was talking to Ozzy here.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Now, any card at all?
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Pardon me, mother, Ozzie, stop it?
Speaker 8 (05:53):
Shall I call back later.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's all right, mother, I'll be doing card tricks for me.
If you did not take a card just a minute, mother.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
That's it now put the card back. But remember it.
Speaker 8 (06:12):
What car did you get?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Dear?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
The ten of clubs?
Speaker 11 (06:15):
Harry? You told me the card?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I told mother, take another one?
Speaker 8 (06:21):
What's that? Mother? I didn't say anything.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
You would, Oh, I know he'd be delighted.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
What did she say?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
She wants to know if you'll come over and entertain
her this afternoon. Mother loves card tricks, Harriet.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
I said, no such thing. I'm not going to be
your husband sitter.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well go ahead and talk to your mother. I want
to practice this a little more.
Speaker 11 (06:38):
David.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
This is the afternoon you're having the girls over, isn't it, Dear, Yes, mother,
three o'clock. That's what I thought, And I'm happy to
tell you you couldn't have kicked a better day. I
looked up your Horrisco and today is your day to
meet people. You're bubbling over with personality.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Well that's nice to hear, but frankly, I think I'd
bubble a lot more if I could get Cardini out.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Of the house. Oh, Dear Shuffles Nelson better nuts is Ozzie.
He's been thick of carting me to death all day.
Somebody gave him a book of card tricks for Christmas,
and unfortunately he's just discovered it.
Speaker 8 (07:13):
Now, dear, you don't want to hurt his feelings. If
you want Ozzie out of the house, I'll give you
a formula I used to use on your father. It
got him out of the house every time.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Or go ahead, I'll try anything.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
It's just ordinary psychology, but it always works. Just tell
him how nice it is having him around the house.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Is that all?
Speaker 3 (07:33):
No?
Speaker 8 (07:34):
Then you ask him to help.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You with a few things, and that's all there is
to it.
Speaker 8 (07:37):
No, not, Now this part is very important. Step back
and make sure the door is open.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, thanks for the advice, mother, because I've got a
million things to do.
Speaker 8 (07:47):
I know what a nuisance it can be having interruptions
when you're getting ready for a body.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
Yes, well thanks mother, I got just don't realize when
they're in.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
The way, they aren't assentsiitive to those things as women are.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
You're right, mother, We talk, say you want.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
One thing and they'll do the other.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yes, mother, Well I really have to finish.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
My clever, isn't it. But it's reliable. Just say the opposite.
Am I holding you up? The ears? If I'm keeping
up from your work. I'll get off the phone.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Well, frankly, mother, No, not at all, keep right on talking.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Mother, Okay, goodbye, dear.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
What does your mother want?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (08:31):
She just called me up. Tell me about my horoscope.
According to mother, this is a good day for me.
The tea party will be a tremendous success.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Good for you.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I sure get a kick out of your mother in
that astrology book.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Pick a card, Harriett.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Oh mother, you know, dear, it's awfully nice having you
around this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
What'd you say?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I say, it's awfully nice having you around after.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
Being married thirteen years.
Speaker 11 (08:59):
I'm glad here you only say that.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
I mean today in particular, dere you're such a studying influence.
She's so much fun too. You'll let me hang this
dust rag over your arm, and not many women have
such a wonderful husband. Let me lean this mop against you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
You're still wear's my coat. I know what you're up to.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
What do you mean what I'm up to?
Speaker 11 (09:18):
Harriet?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Your mother's a fine woman, but when it comes to psychology,
she should stick to being.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
A fine woman. What are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I don't know what you're trying to do. She told
you to try a little psychology on me. But it's
not gonna work. Oh you know I know reverse psychology.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You pretend you want me around the house, so I'll leave.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
That's reverse psychology. Oh but knowing that I know reverse.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Psychology, you try reverse reverse psychology. See you say you.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Want me inside, so I'll think you want me outside.
Actually you want me inside, but thinking you want me outside,
I stay inside. But I'm going to fool you. I'm
going outside.
Speaker 10 (09:58):
Clever for me.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I just no psychology.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
You can even reverse reverse reverse psychology, so it's triple reverse.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Now that works this way. You want me outside.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I think you want me inside, but you really want
me outside. So instead of staying outside, I say no, no,
I go outside.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Ozzie, Yes, pick a card.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
My eyes?
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Oh hello, Thorny, what are you talking about?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
It's amazing how people can go off on ridiculous tangents.
Speaker 11 (10:33):
Who's having mine?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Harriet's mother, for INDs, is a wonderful woman. I'm very intelligent.
But she got a book of astrology for Christmas, and
now she pesters everybody to death with.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Horoscopes, all a silly junk.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
I'm not so sure about that. Eyes an awful lot
of people believe in that stuff.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
A lot of people believe in anything, Thorny. What's your
horoscope for today? Well, she didn't tell me mine, just Harriet's.
This is a very good day for Harriet, A lucky day. Oh.
Pick a card, Thorny, any card at all.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
See, I'll take this one.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Funny.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
She didn't tell your horscope. I put it back in.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
The deck that said, you mean, maybe mine isn't so
good for today, unlucky day or something.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Yeah. Well, actually she wouldn't tell you.
Speaker 7 (11:14):
She wouldn't want you to worry.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
If this were a dangerous day for me. Harry wouldn't
let me out of the house. You see, she'd insist
something the matter on. We'll come to think of it.
She did try to keep me in the house. She
even used reverse psychology.
Speaker 13 (11:31):
Some what are you waiting for.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Oh, Thorny. Those horoscopes are a lot of silly nonsense.
Speaker 11 (11:36):
Maybe yes and maybe no.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
I happened to look mine up in a book one day,
and it said a relative will cause you financial worry. Well,
that same afternoon I.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Got a letter from a relative.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Uh huh, Uncle Sam wanted fifty five dollars more income to.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Wait a minute, Thorny. It just dawned on me. Harriet
wants me to stay in this afternoon, and for a.
Speaker 11 (11:58):
Very good reason.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
We'll sure you horoscope. No, no, this has nothing to
do with horoscopes. She's giving a tea party this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Of course I should.
Speaker 11 (12:06):
Have thought of it.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
She wants me to entertain with my card tricks. Oh,
by the way, what happened to the card you picked?
You put it back in the deck and shovel it.
Oh we got to talking here, I forgot which one?
Oh that's it right there?
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Well, how can you tell I can still see the
dent you putting it with your fingernail. Get back in
the house, Oz, please, I'm worrying, Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
What are you doing back?
Speaker 11 (12:35):
I hope that is?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I thought you'd gone.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
To the day. Oh, Harriet, I couldn't leave you an alert.
I'm back to lend you a hand.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Oh, but honestly, dear, I don't need one. I'm doing beautifully.
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Oh, Harriet, never mind the psychology.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Why didn't you just come out and say you want
me to entertain with my card tricks?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
Your car trick?
Speaker 5 (12:51):
Oh, Ozzie, really, dear you wouldn't want to do your
tricks for a lot of women.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
We wouldn't appreciate.
Speaker 4 (12:55):
Them, Harriet, If you don't want me in the house,
just say so, Ozzie.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I love you dearly, but I don't want you in
the house this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Reverse psychology. When will you learn that I'm wise of that?
You say you don't when you do?
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, there, I'll consist. I hate to impose on you.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
But do you suppose I could coax you to do
a few card tricks for the ladies.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
This afternoon, just as I saw?
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Of course, I will, dear, dear, pick a card.
Speaker 7 (13:26):
No do you.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
Suppose could Thorny be right about Ozzie's horoscope? Or is
he just jumping to conclusions?
Speaker 3 (13:47):
It's human enough, Goodness knows.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Take some of you.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
For instance, you know the way prices have been soaring
the last few years. Now, who could blame you if
you jump to the conclusion that international sterling prices have
risen too.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
But here's the.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
Wonderful thing about international sterling prices have not gone up.
Other leading silver people have raised their prices, But your
favorite international sterling pattern costs the same today as in
nineteen forty four. Why do you know you can save
twenty dollars by getting eight play settings in an international
Sterling pattern like spring Glory rather than some other sterling. Yes, sir,
(14:23):
and with that twenty dollars you could buy eight additional teaspoons.
This is international sterling, mind you. Solid silver that is
artists designed, created and finished in jewel like detail at
the hands of master craftsmen. See it at your international
sterling dealers. Choose it with pride, cherish it always for
the solid silver with beauty that lives forever.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Is international Sterling.
Speaker 6 (14:56):
See that man with pul deck in hand following Harriet
Nelson around the dining room. That's Ozzie Nelson's father, husband,
And take a card. Ozzy's always been fascinated by the
art of rest of digitation ramps.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
He'll not stop with mere card.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Tricks, but go on to greater things, wonderful, mysterious, unbelievable
feats of magic.
Speaker 14 (15:26):
Ladies and gentlemen. In my right hand you see a pistol.
Speaker 12 (15:30):
In my left hand, I hold a small boy. I
take aim with the pistols ry, I pull the trigger.
And in my left hand you now see a small
boy with a hole.
Speaker 11 (15:45):
In his head. Ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 12 (15:55):
Before me, you observe a table. On the table, I
shall cat into this heat. I shall now break several eggs,
a quart of milk, two or three ripe.
Speaker 11 (16:11):
Tomatoes, and the bottle of ink. I take the magic
wand wave it above.
Speaker 12 (16:19):
The hat, and presto, I reach inside the heaven.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Flow everybody, a small.
Speaker 11 (16:28):
Messy boy with a hole.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
In his head.
Speaker 12 (16:39):
Ladies and gentlemen, I shall now perform the greatest trick
ever conceived. Standing before me, you see a long wooden box.
Speaker 11 (16:50):
In this hand, I have a saw, and this hand
I have a small boy.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Flow everybody with a hole in his head.
Speaker 12 (17:01):
I now place the small boy in the box, put
the lid on, and now I saw.
Speaker 11 (17:11):
The box is now and two pieces.
Speaker 12 (17:14):
I separate the pieces, and hi, everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
There's no telling how far Ozzi may progress it the
field of magical science. Perhaps he's about to spring one
of his newest mysterious tricks at this very moment.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Harriet, take a card, Oh Ozzie, please, I've got to
making sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Sandwiches, sandwiches.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Take a card, all right, I'll close my eyes while
you slip it back in the deck. Okay, now I shuffle, Harriet, yes, dear,
give me back the card and take the slice of
ham out of the deck.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I'll see who's at the door. Will Yader.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Hel Hello, Emmy Lou.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
Come on, I brought over the napkins missus Nelson wanted
to borrow for thee this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Take a card, Emmy Lou.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Oh, mister Nelson, do you do card trick?
Speaker 2 (18:13):
My goodness, it seems to be no end.
Speaker 8 (18:14):
To your talent.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Well, I've only been doing them for a few days.
I'm really not very good yet.
Speaker 8 (18:19):
Oh, yes you are. You're wonderful.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
You're terrify.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I thank you. Let me do the trick first. Here,
take a card.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Anyone at all, King of No, No, no, no, Emmy Lou,
you're not supposed to tell me the card. I'm supposed
to tell you. You see, that's the trick. I try it again.
I'll take a card. Let me see I talk this
one now, don't let me see it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Okay, now what do I do?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Put it back in the deck.
Speaker 8 (18:43):
This is so exciting.
Speaker 15 (18:49):
Now what did you say? Watch carefully now, because I'm
going to shuffle.
Speaker 8 (19:04):
I get back.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
I look through the cards and there's the one you
picked out the five of hearts.
Speaker 11 (19:09):
That's it, isn't it?
Speaker 8 (19:10):
Oh dear, I'm so.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Sorry, mister Nelson. I got so excited I forgot to look.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
Do it again?
Speaker 4 (19:18):
I better rest my fingers a while. My little pinky
is getting a Charlie horse.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
How come you're staying at home today?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
With all these women coming to keep well?
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Missus Nelson wanted me to stay around and sort of
keep things going.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Oh how thoughtful, mister Nelson. How concerned have you? You're
the kind of man I want to marry.
Speaker 1 (19:37):
You are, mister Nelson, a perfect darling, a man who.
Speaker 8 (19:40):
Is just one of the girls.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Are you sure you're not looking at me from an
angle life? The reason I'm here is because, well, Missus
Nelson is practically forced me to stay. You see, she
wants me to entertain with my card tricks. She kept
coaxing me, so I finally gave him.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
That's just like you.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Oh there's another factor involved to Missus Nelson's mother has
a lot of faith in astrology, and she.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Told Missus Nelt this.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
She told Missus Nelson my horoscopes, that would be dangerous
for me to go out today.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
But of course I don't believe in that stuff.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
Oh, I wouldn't, Scott if I were you.
Speaker 5 (20:22):
You're talking just the way poor cousin Susie talked before
she passed on.
Speaker 11 (20:26):
She didn't believe in astrology.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Mother wondered that the horoscope that she shouldn't go roller skating.
But how can you reason with any one ninety four
years old?
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Huy?
Speaker 4 (20:46):
I didn't here, Harriet's just stacking, just looking over my cards.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
Ohs to here, and I told them.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
All about your tricks. They're dying to see them.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
I've been thinking it over, and I don't think i'll
come down, Harriet.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Well, for goodness as why not?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Oh my tricks aren't really perfect.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Oh we'll suit yourself there.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
You mean you aren't even going to coax me?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Of course I am. Please come down, dear. The girls
will be terribly disappointed if you don't. No, Harriet, there's
chocolate cake. No, no ice cream.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
No, no, that attractive missus Walker's here, She was asking
if you're still as handsome as ever?
Speaker 11 (21:26):
Chocolate cake.
Speaker 9 (21:29):
Just a few tricks, there you are, ladies, the three
of clubs.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
Please please not not too much applause.
Speaker 3 (21:45):

Speaker 4 (21:48):
For my next book, I should attempt to find not one,
not two, not three.

But four a hidden cards. You can do it, thank you,
Missus Canfield.
Speaker 4 (22:02):

Missus Buckley, missus Uncle, missus Walker. Oh, now, each of

Speaker 2 (22:25):
For you, it's you know what you're doing.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
Miss Walker. Oh, missus Walker, take a card on.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Now what shall I do with it?

Why don't you keep it?
Speaker 8 (22:49):
I have a whole.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
This is one of your new tricks. Oh, now you're
up to your old tricks.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Thank you, mister Nelson's.
Speaker 5 (23:00):

Oh isn't that marvelous? They're all the same.

Oh no, dude, That's why I feel so guilty. I
did my best to keep you out of the house.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Harriet, what are you trying to give me? You wanted
to be in the house.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I know all about my horoscope saying it'd be dangerous
for me to go outdoors today.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
What horoscope? Didn't your mother tell you that?
Speaker 2 (25:34):
Mother didn't even mention your horoscope?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Well, some I got the idea someplace. What are you doing?

Oh, it's lucky you did stay in today.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Then Thorny was right. It could have been dangerous, not
for you.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Dear, but for me.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
Listen to this, wanting two wives be careful of your husband.
Today is the one day in the year he is
irresistible to women.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Well, no wonder you were such a tremendous success with
your card chack irresistible.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Ah, that stuffs a lot of nonsense.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
Harriet, Yes, dear, I think I'll take a stroll down
to the corner and get a paper.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Oh, Auzie, how can you be so cruel?
Speaker 3 (26:35):
Cruel?
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Of course, dear, didn't you hear your hors go? You're
irresistible to women today?
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Oh, Harry, stop kidding, but you really are, Dear.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I ought to know I'm a woman.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Please stay home, Okay, it'll make you happy. I'll stay
in the house the rest of the day.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Is that a promise?
Speaker 3 (26:55):
That's a promise.

Get yourself a job in mister Jonathan's silverware store selling
international sterling spring glory pattern. Gosh, mister Smith, I can't
keep the ladies away.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Well, I should hope not spring glory is one of
the loveliest patterns International Sterling has ever created.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Boy, do those gals love me?
Speaker 16 (27:48):
I bring out my velvet mat and put down a knife,
fork and spoon in the spring glory pattern. Then I
point out the unusual features. I like the open work
on the handle and the way it unfolds into one.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Perfectly carved flower. Why, mister Smith, I have those women
hanging on my every word.
Speaker 6 (28:06):
Yes, especially when you mentioned the price I imagine for
International Sterling alone among leading silver people, has not raised
prices since nineteen forty four.
Speaker 16 (28:15):
Yeah, I guess what you mean, mister Smith. That it's
that it isn't irresistible me. It's irresistible International Sterling that
brings all those women into mister Jonathan silverware store.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
Well, all I know is that no woman can ever
resist the solid silver with beauty that lives forever, and
that's International Sterling.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Harriet. Yes, dear, are you asleep?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Not quite why?
