Our Miss Brooks was a beloved American sitcom that ran on CBS radio from 1948 to 1957. It was one of the most popular radio shows of its time, and it was later adapted into a successful television series that ran from 1952 to 1956.
The show starred the iconic Eve Arden as Connie Brooks, a wisecracking and sarcastic English teacher at Madison High School. Arden's portrayal of Miss Brooks was both hilarious and endearing, and she won over audiences with her quick wit and sharp one-liners
The supporting cast of Our Miss Brooks was equally memorable. Gale Gordon played the uptight and pompous Principal Osgood Conklin, Richard Crenna played the dimwitted but lovable student Walter Denton, and Jane Morgan played Miss Brooks' scatterbrained landlady, Mrs. Davis.
The show's storylines were typically lighthearted and comedic, focusing on the everyday trials and tribulations of Miss Brooks and her students. Miss Brooks would often find herself in comical situations, such as dealing with mischievous students, trying to impress her love interest, or getting into trouble with her boss.
Our Miss Brooks was a groundbreaking show in many ways. It was one of the first sitcoms to feature a strong female lead character, and it helped to pave the way for other shows with similar formats. The show was also praised for its sharp writing and its talented cast
.Even though it went off the air over 60 years ago, Our Miss Brooks remains a classic radio sitcom. The show is still fondly remembered by fans, and it continues to be enjoyed by new generations of listeners.

I'm Ali Soap, Your Beauty Hopeand Luster Cream shampoo for Salt, glamorous
Green Girl Hair. Bring you OurMiss Brooks starring Eve Arden. Our Miss
Brooks teaches English at Madison High School, and although like most of our teachers,
(00:22):
she possesses a higher than average intelligence, she also possesses the higher than
average curiosity of most of our women, Especially when it comes to weighing machines.
There's nobody more concerned about the resultthan a female who has just deposited
her penny in the slot, unlessit's the male tub of lard who was
on the scale when I got there. This happened last Wednesday after school.
(00:47):
I was passing the drug store andjust happened to have a penny on me.
Tuesday was payday, so I approachedthe weighing machine, and like I
said, this brewery horse was stompingon the springs, and when he saw
his weight on the little card,he looked around the drug store, then
made tracks for a sign saying Girdledepartment. I calmly stepped aboard, and
(01:08):
when my card came out, Iglanced casually at my weight chuckled as if
to say how much accuracy can youexpect for a cent? And was just
about to throw the card away whenI noticed my fortune printed on the back.
It said A tall dark man iscoming into your life. Then of
course I did drop the card.It landed in my purse and I proceeded
(01:30):
on home. By the next morning, I'd forgotten about it completely. As
usual, I'd left word for missusDavis, my landlady, to wake me
at seven point thirty. Honey,what is it? Get a hurry,
Connie. You've only got twenty minutes. Twenty minutes? What time is it?
(01:51):
And you've only got twenty minutes tosleep? Oh far, Well,
come on in, Missus Davis.Did you have a good night, Connie?
I said, did you have agood night? Good night Missus Davis.
You better get up now. Connie. Here, I've brought you some
fruit juice. Go on, Connie, take a sip. Oh what kind
(02:12):
of juice is this? It's acombination pineapple, papaya and passion fruits.
It's a genuine Hawaiian recipe. Orare you stirred with a ukulele after you
drink it? If you'd have anice by Connie, what's that little white
card? What little white card,this one here on your night table.
Let's see, he says, Atall dark man is coming into your life.
(02:38):
Now, who do you suppose thatcould be? Well, it's not
Sonny's tufts. He's a blonde.Maybe they mean mister Philip Poynton, a
bashful biologist. No, Missus Davis, so far he's managed to remain in
the suburbs of my life. Well, of course, I don't believe in
fortunes on cards and crystal gazing andpinarmer reading and all that nonsense. There
(03:00):
is, however, a logical andscientific way to arrive at certain conclusions about
one's personal destiny. What's that,Missus Davis? Tea leaves? Now?
When you hurry and get drest andI'll brew the tea after breakfast? Out
of your reading? All right,Missus Davis, Oh just a minute,
but is it, Tonny? BeforeI get out of bed, you better
take that tall dark man off mynight table. Finished with your tea,
(03:30):
Connie, Yes, Missus Davis.Let's see. Now where are the leaves?
Where all most of them are inmy teeth? Here we are,
there is plenty left for reading.First, we revolved the cup three times
slowly between our hands, then quicklyturn it over onto the sauca here bail,
(03:53):
buddy. You know the weight cardwas right what there? He is,
right there in the cup, thetall dark man, and who's coming
into your life? Don't tell meyou can't see him. Oh of course
for a minute, I didn't recognizehim with all those tea leaves. This
is an amazing coincidence. Connie.I'd like to get another reading if you
(04:14):
don't mind. No, not atall, Missus Davis. It's always nice
to be sure real. What doyou know about that? I know he's
gone left town without even saying goodbye, Connie, be serious. This is
an amazing thing I see in thisstuff? What now, missus Davis.
I don't think I should tell you? Why not because you're not even married
(04:38):
yet. Oh but I'm a biggirl. Now I'll have to find out
sooner or later. I never wouldhave believed it. Three of them,
three tall dark men, No constance, three little ones, three little dark
men. Children. You're going tohave three children? Wha, don't look
(04:58):
so shark, missus Davis. Maybethey're his by a former marriage. No,
no, Connie, they're yours.But how can you keep your job
as school if you've got to takecare of Oh, I know, I'll
get Missus Fletcher from nineties Pert,I had the twee and Missus Fletcher took
over completely. Oh no, justa minute, Missus Davis, don't you
honey? You can't prepare. Youcan't prepare too soon for this sort of
(05:21):
thing. Now where did I putmister Fletcher's phone number? I don't want
Missus Fletcher. I'll take care ofmy kids myself. After all, I'm
only trying to be helpful. Oh, I'm sorry, Missus Davis. This
tea lea business is pretty fascinating.But I better get ready. Walder Danho's
giving me a list of school again. Oh is your kind repair shot?
(05:43):
Honey? Yes it is. What'swrong with it this time? I can't
be sure, but I think thatJoe the mechanic and my car are that
way about each other. Every timeI try to separate them, the car
blows a gasket. Oh there's Walter. Now, I'll be right with you,
Walt, before you go call me, please do me one favor,
certainly. What is it? Promiseme you'll be very careful today. Care
(06:08):
for Oh you mean about my fortune, Missus Davis I'll give you my word
of honor. I'll let you knowin plenty of time to call Missus Fletcher.
Walter, it's very nice of youto keep driving me to school like
this. Oh that's all right,Miss Brooks. I don't like to take
(06:30):
advantage of the fact that because yourcar is incapacitated and I can jump into
the breach now and then transportation wise, that is, you can't very well
refuse gracefully. But I'm telling youyou can before I even ask you.
I square enough, isn't it squarea thing? Since Clyde McCoy? But
being an English teacher, I practicallyunderstand you. Walter. Just what kind
of advice do you need this morning? Oh it's a girl? What's a
(06:55):
girl? Harriet Conklin? Why,Walter, Dan, you've been wearing your
glasses again? And what about Harriet? I'm afraid it's a pretty long story,
that's all right. I have apretty long ear, well, as
you know, Miss Brooks. HarrietConklin is the daughter of mister Conklin granted,
who in turn is married to Harriet'smother, Missus Conklin. It all
started the night before last. SeeI told you it was a long story
(07:19):
only the way you tell it.Go ahead. Well, the night before
last I had a date with Harrietto go to the movies. When I
got to her house to pick herup, she acted like I had bubonic
plague or something. Did you,I mean, what did she do?
Well? She said that she couldn'tbe bothered with me anymore because a tall
dark man was coming into her life, her too epidemic. Where did she
(07:45):
find out about this tall dark man? Well, that's where her mother comes
in. Maybe there's a shorter wayto listen to this story. Her mother
and Harriet had taken out the Ouijiboard that afternoon. That's when they found
out about this tall guy. Well, after all, you can't compete with
a non existent rival. That's justthe trouble. He's not nonexistent, He's
not. No, he materialized yesterday. Oh now, Walter, please,
(08:09):
no, it's true, Miss Brooks. Harriet told me all about him when
I called yesterday evening, although Iwasn't going to after the way she treated
me the evening before. But whenI did, she told me that this
tall, dark French teacher had checkedin at their house to give her father's
papers before he began teaching French atschool today. I know you're telling me
something because I can see your lipsmoving. What is it, Walter,
(08:31):
Well, don't understand, miss Brooks. It's called an exchange deal. This
teacher came over from Paris, France. Why did we send them to outfielders
in the shortstop? Oh I don'tknow about that, but I do know
that Harriet sounded like this French teacherwas a combination of Maurice Chevrolet and Maurice
Chevrolet and Charles Buick. I wasgonna say, Charles Boyer. That's what
(08:58):
I was afraid you were going tosay. This teacher must be quite an
interesting personality. What's his name?What's see now? Well, there's an
article about him in the school paper. Oh I know it's Monette. Jaqueeze
Manette. Jacqueeze Manette. Oh youmean Jack Monette. Say that is a
(09:20):
romantic sounding name. All right.I bet he's a very nice person.
Oh it's not him, I'm worriedabout it's Harriet, since he showed up.
She thinks the Luigi board is infallible. The Luigi board. Oh that's
ridiculous, Harry, it's much toosensible. I'm surprised at her next thing,
you know she'll be having her tealeaves read three children. All of
(09:54):
this Brook starring Eve Arden, willcontinue in just a moment, But first
here is Verne Smith with an hoortantannouncements. Doctors leading skin specialists prove palmalid
soap using nothing but palmalive can bringlovelier complexions, regardless of age, skin
type, or previous beauty care.Let's oily skin for Helen Vixen Minneapolis,
Pressure, brighter color for Clara Franklin, San Francisco, smooth, a younger
(10:18):
looking skin for a Shell Bruchowed,New York City. Yes, thirty six
doctors leading skin specialists advised using palmalyfor one two hundred and eighty five women,
many with complexion problems. Some haddry skin, some oily, some
dull and coarse looking, and usingpalmlive alone nothing else, two out of
three won fresher brighter skin. Andhere's the plan. These doctors advised wash
(10:41):
your face with palmolive soap, massagingfor one minute with palmalib's soft nather.
This plensing massage brings your skin palmllybeautifying effects. Rinse. Do this three
times a day for fourteen days.It's that simple. But remember, leading
skin specialists proved this plan really worksregardless of age, skin type, or
(11:03):
previous beauty care. So try palmali so this way, using nothing but
palm olive, as these doctors advisedfor a lovelier complexion. For loveliness all
over, use big, drifty bathsize palm olive in your tub or shower.
(11:26):
Well, here we are, missBrooks. Thanks Walter, and don't
worry too much about losing Harriet's affections. I'm sure the French teacher is just
a passing phase in her life.Say there's Harriet on the steps. I'll
go find a place to park.See you later, all right, Walder,
Hello there, Harriet. What ohhello missus Brooks. You'll have to
(11:50):
forgive me if I seem to bein a reverie. I've heard about your
Uigi born. I don't care whatanybody says, Miss Brooks. There must
be something to it. Imagine thevery next day he came along. That's
the first time I've ever seen capitalletters in conversation. He must be quite
attractive. Attractive isn't the word,miss brook No, what is the word?
(12:13):
Heavenly? Super heavenly strataspherically heavenly.I'll come up a little if you
will come down a little. Ohwait, did you see him, Miss
Frocks, he's as safety belt.Look, Harriet, I think it's all
very natural for a schoolgirl to havecrushes. I had them myself, you,
(12:39):
Miss brook Yes me, Miss Brooks. I wasn't born an English teacher.
You know. I also think it'sperfectly normal for a girl your age
to think like a schoolgirl in otherways. But I do say this,
and I mean it's sincerely, Harriet. You don't have to act like a
schoolgirl. I don't, but youhad a principal's do to Harriett. No,
may we, mister moon name,may we? Oh? This is
(13:03):
miss brook Miss Books, just Swizon. That is I've heard so much about
you, but it is How doyou say I'm a statement? You're so
youthful, so lovely. Why you'relike a pupil not a teacher? Run
(13:31):
along, Harris, you will belate to school. But we're at school.
Oh when did that get here?Something is wrong? Wrong? Oh
I should say not, Monsieur Manette. It's just that, well, we
don't meet such distinguished visitors every day, and well they must have given at
(13:52):
least three outfielders and two short stopsfor him. Oh, it's just a
figure of speech. Oh, andthe lovely figure you have too, Oh
this is a doll. Can wego into the school, Monsieur Monett.
We yes, I have to stopat Monsieur Conkland's office. You were you
(14:13):
show me where it is? Uh? No, I show you where is
it? Yes? I hope misterBohan sees this together. I'll direct Monsieur
Manet to Daddy's office. Miss Brooks, Oh, you won't have time,
Harriet. You have to freshen upbefore your class. Freshen up. But
I just stepped out of the shower. Then give yourself a rubdown. You'll
catch cold this way, Monsieur.I mean, well, it's on you
(14:46):
French feature. Good morning, MonsieurManet A Conklian. Excuse me, I
mean good money. I gat hello, Harriet, mister Conklin, I just
came in to volunteer my assistance ifyou're looking for somebody to show mister Monette
around the school. Told miss I'dbe glad to take mister Maney Daddy.
Of course, i'd need your permissionto cut one of my classes. Maybe
(15:07):
English. I'm pretty well advanced inthat, me too. Maybe we both
could cut it, please please,I would not want either of you to,
are you say, put out yourselves? Oh, it would be silly
to put out ourselves now, afterall we just started to blaze. I'm
(15:33):
sure I'll be able to show misterMoney the rope. But Daddy, you're
too busy. Oh much too busy, Daddy. I mean I have a
study period coming up, and Idon't want to hear anymore about show.
Mister Money wouldn't want us to feelthat because of him our entire system was
disrupted. Or certainly nerds, Ican find my own way about the premises.
(15:54):
I'm sure that well. In thatcase, come along, Harriet,
you're in my first class. Youknow. Oh one moment, Miss Wooks,
would you do me the great honorof peraps having lunch? Wheez me,
whe's pleasure. Oh but I didhave a date with mister boynh.
I think I'll keep that date too. Maybe it'll open his eyes a little.
(16:17):
I'll see you in the cafeteria,mister Manet. But I thought mister
Manee was going to have lunch withus. Didn't you tell me you were
going to invite him to the house. Daddy invite him? Oh well,
I suppose so. Thank you justthe same, monsieur. But I would
rather not leave the school proper duringmy first day on an admirable spirit money.
If more of our homegrown teachers hadit, Madison High School would be
(16:41):
a better place in which to learnsomething something like English, for example.
Yeah, well, as the littleboy in the fisk head said, it's
time to be tired. Ah,come in, hello, mister Boynton.
(17:06):
Oh it's humors Brooks. How areyou the kind? Thanks? I'm glad
I caught you before your class gotin. I I wanted to ask you
about lunch. I'll be happy tojoin you. Thanks very much. Oh
well, I had other plans,but how can I resist an invitation like
that? By the way, misterBoynan, do you speak any foreign language?
Just American? Try mister Barton,you're getting quite a sense of humor.
(17:32):
Must catch it from your frogs.Really, though, do you speak
French? For instance? No?I don't. Then you wouldn't know what
a French person would be saying tome if he said it in French?
Would you? No? I wouldn't. This may be a very interesting lunch
for all of us, all ofus. Yes, you see there's a
new teacher in school. Oh youmean Jacques Monet. You've met him?
(17:53):
Oh? Yes, I had todeliver some papers to mister Conklin's home yesterday
and he was there, Ah,said Prince of a chap He had quite
a time together. Nice to seehim again at lunch. Oh it will,
I yes, As a matter offact, you will have to apologize
to him for me. I'm frightI'll be a little late. Oh you
will. That's too bad, misterBoyne. Why will you be late?
Well, it's McDougall here. Youknow, my bullfrog. He's got me
(18:17):
worried, Miss Brooks. It's histhroat. He can't seem to croak above
a whisper. Oh that's too bad, poor Mcdougah him, Mac, he
must have gargled. Did sound prettygood. Now I'll still have to stay
close to him to see how themedication I'm getting him catch us on.
(18:37):
I'll get to lunch as soon asI can, though. Ah. Good
old Jacques Monney, he's a realman's man. You've been wrong before,
brother Boynton, but never like this. Here's a nice table, mister money
let's sit down. Oh yes,ms books, this is certainly a big
(19:02):
restaurant. It's a cafeteria, misterManette. Eh yes, Now, then
shall we look at the god Joulebill of fail, bill of faire?
Oh you mean menu? They don'thave any menus here, mister Manette.
No, then how do you selectan order? Well, here, you
don't exactly select an order. Youjust sort of point and holler. I'll

mister Manette. As you know,mister Boynton is joining us for lunch.
Oh, yes, yes, fine, fellow, mister Boynton a man's
man. I'm him it fit.I mean, he is a very nice
man, but he's sort of shy. Shy. Why should he be shy?
He is tall, muscular, witha fine head of hair, good
(19:45):
teeth, pleasing manner. What elseis new? What I wanted to ask
of you is very simple. Yousee, mister Boydan is too bashful to
ask you himself. But I'm surehe'd get a tremendous kick. That is,
he'd enjoy it if you spoke nothingbut French during our lunch. But
why, well, he's trying tolearn how to speak your language. He
understands it fine, but he's notsure of his pronunciation. He could learn
(20:07):
a lot from you about a lotof things. Well, I suppose I
could help him. He's coming overnow, mister Manet. Remember how you
kissed my hand this morning? Wouldyou do it again? Please? What
quickly, mister Manee. It's partof mister Boynton's education. Hurry here in
my hand, miss books. Idon't like to be How do you say?

trouble, mister money, got somethingcaught in your teeth? Just no cuticle
of mine? Sit down, misterbore. Yeah. How do you like

I am. Why, mister Manette, how flattering? Let's see now what

salads. They don't launch the wordsbeef zary couvet, the clip susette ate
demitas. Oh, mister Manette,you and your compliments. Now stop that

and tell mister boynho what you wantto eat. But I do not understand.
I heard mister Money tell bullyboo money. Mister Boyton, you little spy.
You can't speak French. No,I can't, Miss Brooks, not

the army. The army you werestationed in New Orleans and you know it,

don't suppose they have what I reallywant for lunch, but maybe eh?
Do they ever have fogs leg what? Oh don't say? Why not?
FOG's legs are delicious to eat.Let's all have it. Mah me eat

I'm Ali Soap, Your Beauty Hopeand Luster Cream shampoo for Salt, glamorous
Green Girl Hair. Bring you OurMiss Brooks starring Eve Arden. Our Miss
Brooks teaches English at Madison High School, and although like most of our teachers,
(00:22):
she possesses a higher than average intelligence, she also possesses the higher than
average curiosity of most of our women, Especially when it comes to weighing machines.
There's nobody more concerned about the resultthan a female who has just deposited
her penny in the slot, unlessit's the male tub of lard who was
on the scale when I got there. This happened last Wednesday after school.
(00:47):
I was passing the drug store andjust happened to have a penny on me.
Tuesday was payday, so I approachedthe weighing machine, and like I
said, this brewery horse was stompingon the springs, and when he saw
his weight on the little card,he looked around the drug store, then
made tracks for a sign saying Girdledepartment. I calmly stepped aboard, and
(01:08):
when my card came out, Iglanced casually at my weight chuckled as if
to say how much accuracy can youexpect for a cent? And was just
about to throw the card away whenI noticed my fortune printed on the back.
It said A tall dark man iscoming into your life. Then of
course I did drop the card.It landed in my purse and I proceeded
(01:30):
on home. By the next morning, I'd forgotten about it completely. As
usual, I'd left word for missusDavis, my landlady, to wake me
at seven point thirty. Honey,what is it? Get a hurry,
Connie. You've only got twenty minutes. Twenty minutes? What time is it?
(01:51):
And you've only got twenty minutes tosleep? Oh far, Well,
come on in, Missus Davis.Did you have a good night, Connie?
I said, did you have agood night? Good night Missus Davis.
You better get up now. Connie. Here, I've brought you some
fruit juice. Go on, Connie, take a sip. Oh what kind
(02:12):
of juice is this? It's acombination pineapple, papaya and passion fruits.
It's a genuine Hawaiian recipe. Orare you stirred with a ukulele after you
drink it? If you'd have anice by Connie, what's that little white
card? What little white card,this one here on your night table.
Let's see, he says, Atall dark man is coming into your life.
(02:38):
Now, who do you suppose thatcould be? Well, it's not
Sonny's tufts. He's a blonde.Maybe they mean mister Philip Poynton, a
bashful biologist. No, Missus Davis, so far he's managed to remain in
the suburbs of my life. Well, of course, I don't believe in
fortunes on cards and crystal gazing andpinarmer reading and all that nonsense. There
(03:00):
is, however, a logical andscientific way to arrive at certain conclusions about
one's personal destiny. What's that,Missus Davis? Tea leaves? Now?
When you hurry and get drest andI'll brew the tea after breakfast? Out
of your reading? All right,Missus Davis, Oh just a minute,
but is it, Tonny? BeforeI get out of bed, you better
take that tall dark man off mynight table. Finished with your tea,
(03:30):
Connie, Yes, Missus Davis.Let's see. Now where are the leaves?
Where all most of them are inmy teeth? Here we are,
there is plenty left for reading.First, we revolved the cup three times
slowly between our hands, then quicklyturn it over onto the sauca here bail,
(03:53):
buddy. You know the weight cardwas right what there? He is,
right there in the cup, thetall dark man, and who's coming
into your life? Don't tell meyou can't see him. Oh of course
for a minute, I didn't recognizehim with all those tea leaves. This
is an amazing coincidence. Connie.I'd like to get another reading if you
(04:14):
don't mind. No, not atall, Missus Davis. It's always nice
to be sure real. What doyou know about that? I know he's
gone left town without even saying goodbye, Connie, be serious. This is
an amazing thing I see in thisstuff? What now, missus Davis.
I don't think I should tell you? Why not because you're not even married
(04:38):
yet. Oh but I'm a biggirl. Now I'll have to find out
sooner or later. I never wouldhave believed it. Three of them,
three tall dark men, No constance, three little ones, three little dark
men. Children. You're going tohave three children? Wha, don't look
(04:58):
so shark, missus Davis. Maybethey're his by a former marriage. No,
no, Connie, they're yours.But how can you keep your job
as school if you've got to takecare of Oh, I know, I'll
get Missus Fletcher from nineties Pert,I had the twee and Missus Fletcher took
over completely. Oh no, justa minute, Missus Davis, don't you
honey? You can't prepare. Youcan't prepare too soon for this sort of
(05:21):
thing. Now where did I putmister Fletcher's phone number? I don't want
Missus Fletcher. I'll take care ofmy kids myself. After all, I'm
only trying to be helpful. Oh, I'm sorry, Missus Davis. This
tea lea business is pretty fascinating.But I better get ready. Walder Danho's
giving me a list of school again. Oh is your kind repair shot?
(05:43):
Honey? Yes it is. What'swrong with it this time? I can't
be sure, but I think thatJoe the mechanic and my car are that
way about each other. Every timeI try to separate them, the car
blows a gasket. Oh there's Walter. Now, I'll be right with you,
Walt, before you go call me, please do me one favor,
certainly. What is it? Promiseme you'll be very careful today. Care
(06:08):
for Oh you mean about my fortune, Missus Davis I'll give you my word
of honor. I'll let you knowin plenty of time to call Missus Fletcher.
Walter, it's very nice of youto keep driving me to school like
this. Oh that's all right,Miss Brooks. I don't like to take
(06:30):
advantage of the fact that because yourcar is incapacitated and I can jump into
the breach now and then transportation wise, that is, you can't very well
refuse gracefully. But I'm telling youyou can before I even ask you.
I square enough, isn't it squarea thing? Since Clyde McCoy? But
being an English teacher, I practicallyunderstand you. Walter. Just what kind
of advice do you need this morning? Oh it's a girl? What's a
(06:55):
girl? Harriet Conklin? Why,Walter, Dan, you've been wearing your
glasses again? And what about Harriet? I'm afraid it's a pretty long story,
that's all right. I have apretty long ear, well, as
you know, Miss Brooks. HarrietConklin is the daughter of mister Conklin granted,
who in turn is married to Harriet'smother, Missus Conklin. It all
started the night before last. SeeI told you it was a long story
(07:19):
only the way you tell it.Go ahead. Well, the night before
last I had a date with Harrietto go to the movies. When I
got to her house to pick herup, she acted like I had bubonic
plague or something. Did you,I mean, what did she do?
Well? She said that she couldn'tbe bothered with me anymore because a tall
dark man was coming into her life, her too epidemic. Where did she
(07:45):
find out about this tall dark man? Well, that's where her mother comes
in. Maybe there's a shorter wayto listen to this story. Her mother
and Harriet had taken out the Ouijiboard that afternoon. That's when they found
out about this tall guy. Well, after all, you can't compete with
a non existent rival. That's justthe trouble. He's not nonexistent, He's
not. No, he materialized yesterday. Oh now, Walter, please,
(08:09):
no, it's true, Miss Brooks. Harriet told me all about him when
I called yesterday evening, although Iwasn't going to after the way she treated
me the evening before. But whenI did, she told me that this
tall, dark French teacher had checkedin at their house to give her father's
papers before he began teaching French atschool today. I know you're telling me
something because I can see your lipsmoving. What is it, Walter,
(08:31):
Well, don't understand, miss Brooks. It's called an exchange deal. This
teacher came over from Paris, France. Why did we send them to outfielders
in the shortstop? Oh I don'tknow about that, but I do know
that Harriet sounded like this French teacherwas a combination of Maurice Chevrolet and Maurice
Chevrolet and Charles Buick. I wasgonna say, Charles Boyer. That's what
(08:58):
I was afraid you were going tosay. This teacher must be quite an
interesting personality. What's his name?What's see now? Well, there's an
article about him in the school paper. Oh I know it's Monette. Jaqueeze
Manette. Jacqueeze Manette. Oh youmean Jack Monette. Say that is a
(09:20):
romantic sounding name. All right.I bet he's a very nice person.
Oh it's not him, I'm worriedabout it's Harriet, since he showed up.
She thinks the Luigi board is infallible. The Luigi board. Oh that's
ridiculous, Harry, it's much toosensible. I'm surprised at her next thing,
you know she'll be having her tealeaves read three children. All of
(09:54):
this Brook starring Eve Arden, willcontinue in just a moment, But first
here is Verne Smith with an hoortantannouncements. Doctors leading skin specialists prove palmalid
soap using nothing but palmalive can bringlovelier complexions, regardless of age, skin
type, or previous beauty care.Let's oily skin for Helen Vixen Minneapolis,
Pressure, brighter color for Clara Franklin, San Francisco, smooth, a younger
(10:18):
looking skin for a Shell Bruchowed,New York City. Yes, thirty six
doctors leading skin specialists advised using palmalyfor one two hundred and eighty five women,
many with complexion problems. Some haddry skin, some oily, some
dull and coarse looking, and usingpalmlive alone nothing else, two out of
three won fresher brighter skin. Andhere's the plan. These doctors advised wash
(10:41):
your face with palmolive soap, massagingfor one minute with palmalib's soft nather.
This plensing massage brings your skin palmllybeautifying effects. Rinse. Do this three
times a day for fourteen days.It's that simple. But remember, leading
skin specialists proved this plan really worksregardless of age, skin type, or
(11:03):
previous beauty care. So try palmali so this way, using nothing but
palm olive, as these doctors advisedfor a lovelier complexion. For loveliness all
over, use big, drifty bathsize palm olive in your tub or shower.
(11:26):
Well, here we are, missBrooks. Thanks Walter, and don't
worry too much about losing Harriet's affections. I'm sure the French teacher is just
a passing phase in her life.Say there's Harriet on the steps. I'll
go find a place to park.See you later, all right, Walder,
Hello there, Harriet. What ohhello missus Brooks. You'll have to
(11:50):
forgive me if I seem to bein a reverie. I've heard about your
Uigi born. I don't care whatanybody says, Miss Brooks. There must
be something to it. Imagine thevery next day he came along. That's
the first time I've ever seen capitalletters in conversation. He must be quite
attractive. Attractive isn't the word,miss brook No, what is the word?
(12:13):
Heavenly? Super heavenly strataspherically heavenly.I'll come up a little if you
will come down a little. Ohwait, did you see him, Miss
Frocks, he's as safety belt.Look, Harriet, I think it's all
very natural for a schoolgirl to havecrushes. I had them myself, you,
(12:39):
Miss brook Yes me, Miss Brooks. I wasn't born an English teacher.
You know. I also think it'sperfectly normal for a girl your age
to think like a schoolgirl in otherways. But I do say this,
and I mean it's sincerely, Harriet. You don't have to act like a
schoolgirl. I don't, but youhad a principal's do to Harriett. No,
may we, mister moon name,may we? Oh? This is
(13:03):
miss brook Miss Books, just Swizon. That is I've heard so much about
you, but it is How doyou say I'm a statement? You're so
youthful, so lovely. Why you'relike a pupil not a teacher? Run
(13:31):
along, Harris, you will belate to school. But we're at school.
Oh when did that get here?Something is wrong? Wrong? Oh
I should say not, Monsieur Manette. It's just that, well, we
don't meet such distinguished visitors every day, and well they must have given at
(13:52):
least three outfielders and two short stopsfor him. Oh, it's just a
figure of speech. Oh, andthe lovely figure you have too, Oh
this is a doll. Can wego into the school, Monsieur Monett.
We yes, I have to stopat Monsieur Conkland's office. You were you
(14:13):
show me where it is? Uh? No, I show you where is
it? Yes? I hope misterBohan sees this together. I'll direct Monsieur
Manet to Daddy's office. Miss Brooks, Oh, you won't have time,
Harriet. You have to freshen upbefore your class. Freshen up. But
I just stepped out of the shower. Then give yourself a rubdown. You'll
catch cold this way, Monsieur.I mean, well, it's on you
(14:46):
French feature. Good morning, MonsieurManet A Conklian. Excuse me, I
mean good money. I gat hello, Harriet, mister Conklin, I just
came in to volunteer my assistance ifyou're looking for somebody to show mister Monette
around the school. Told miss I'dbe glad to take mister Maney Daddy.
Of course, i'd need your permissionto cut one of my classes. Maybe
(15:07):
English. I'm pretty well advanced inthat, me too. Maybe we both
could cut it, please please,I would not want either of you to,
are you say, put out yourselves? Oh, it would be silly
to put out ourselves now, afterall we just started to blaze. I'm
(15:33):
sure I'll be able to show misterMoney the rope. But Daddy, you're
too busy. Oh much too busy, Daddy. I mean I have a
study period coming up, and Idon't want to hear anymore about show.
Mister Money wouldn't want us to feelthat because of him our entire system was
disrupted. Or certainly nerds, Ican find my own way about the premises.
(15:54):
I'm sure that well. In thatcase, come along, Harriet,
you're in my first class. Youknow. Oh one moment, Miss Wooks,
would you do me the great honorof peraps having lunch? Wheez me,
whe's pleasure. Oh but I didhave a date with mister boynh.
I think I'll keep that date too. Maybe it'll open his eyes a little.
(16:17):
I'll see you in the cafeteria,mister Manet. But I thought mister
Manee was going to have lunch withus. Didn't you tell me you were
going to invite him to the house. Daddy invite him? Oh well,
I suppose so. Thank you justthe same, monsieur. But I would
rather not leave the school proper duringmy first day on an admirable spirit money.
If more of our homegrown teachers hadit, Madison High School would be
(16:41):
a better place in which to learnsomething something like English, for example.
Yeah, well, as the littleboy in the fisk head said, it's
time to be tired. Ah,come in, hello, mister Boynton.
(17:06):
Oh it's humors Brooks. How areyou the kind? Thanks? I'm glad
I caught you before your class gotin. I I wanted to ask you
about lunch. I'll be happy tojoin you. Thanks very much. Oh
well, I had other plans,but how can I resist an invitation like
that? By the way, misterBoynan, do you speak any foreign language?
Just American? Try mister Barton,you're getting quite a sense of humor.
(17:32):
Must catch it from your frogs.Really, though, do you speak
French? For instance? No?I don't. Then you wouldn't know what
a French person would be saying tome if he said it in French?
Would you? No? I wouldn't. This may be a very interesting lunch
for all of us, all ofus. Yes, you see there's a
new teacher in school. Oh youmean Jacques Monet. You've met him?
(17:53):
Oh? Yes, I had todeliver some papers to mister Conklin's home yesterday
and he was there, Ah,said Prince of a chap He had quite
a time together. Nice to seehim again at lunch. Oh it will,
I yes, As a matter offact, you will have to apologize
to him for me. I'm frightI'll be a little late. Oh you
will. That's too bad, misterBoyne. Why will you be late?
Well, it's McDougall here. Youknow, my bullfrog. He's got me
(18:17):
worried, Miss Brooks. It's histhroat. He can't seem to croak above
a whisper. Oh that's too bad, poor Mcdougah him, Mac, he
must have gargled. Did sound prettygood. Now I'll still have to stay
close to him to see how themedication I'm getting him catch us on.
(18:37):
I'll get to lunch as soon asI can, though. Ah. Good
old Jacques Monney, he's a realman's man. You've been wrong before,
brother Boynton, but never like this. Here's a nice table, mister money
let's sit down. Oh yes,ms books, this is certainly a big
(19:02):
restaurant. It's a cafeteria, misterManette. Eh yes, Now, then
shall we look at the god Joulebill of fail, bill of faire?
Oh you mean menu? They don'thave any menus here, mister Manette.
No, then how do you selectan order? Well, here, you
don't exactly select an order. Youjust sort of point and holler. I'll
(19:22):
show you in a minute. Butfirst I'd like to ask a little favor,
mister Manette. As you know,mister Boynton is joining us for lunch.
Oh, yes, yes, fine, fellow, mister Boynton a man's
man. I'm him it fit.I mean, he is a very nice
man, but he's sort of shy. Shy. Why should he be shy?
He is tall, muscular, witha fine head of hair, good
(19:45):
teeth, pleasing manner. What elseis new? What I wanted to ask
of you is very simple. Yousee, mister Boydan is too bashful to
ask you himself. But I'm surehe'd get a tremendous kick. That is,
he'd enjoy it if you spoke nothingbut French during our lunch. But
why, well, he's trying tolearn how to speak your language. He
understands it fine, but he's notsure of his pronunciation. He could learn
(20:07):
a lot from you about a lotof things. Well, I suppose I
could help him. He's coming overnow, mister Manet. Remember how you
kissed my hand this morning? Wouldyou do it again? Please? What
quickly, mister Manee. It's partof mister Boynton's education. Hurry here in
my hand, miss books. Idon't like to be How do you say?

trouble, mister money, got somethingcaught in your teeth? Just no cuticle
of mine? Sit down, misterbore. Yeah. How do you like
our cafeteria? Mister Manee says it'slovely, but not half as lovely as
I am. Why, mister Manette, how flattering? Let's see now what
(21:00):
did we eat today? Well?How about the row Street? That's what
I'm going to have me too?How about you, mister Manette? Tell
them in French your disease. Don'tpete my meats, O vcs wise and
salads. They don't launch the wordsbeef zary couvet, the clip susette ate
demitas. Oh, mister Manette,you and your compliments. Now stop that
(21:27):
and tell mister boynho what you wantto eat. But I do not understand.
I heard mister Money tell bullyboo money. Mister Boyton, you little spy.
You can't speak French. No,I can't, Miss Brooks, not
really. Those are just a fewwords I've picked up when I was in
the army. The army you werestationed in New Orleans and you know it,
(21:48):
but near the French quarter. Letus not delay any longer. I
don't suppose they have what I reallywant for lunch, but maybe eh?
Do they ever have fogs leg what? Oh don't say? Why not?
FOG's legs are delicious to eat.Let's all have it. Mah me eat

I'm afraid I've lost my appetite.I'll see you later, Miss Brooks.

He is not a frog? Onlyin some ways? Is he not a

a way, in a way,I'm glad we're alone. There is something
I would like to ask you.You see, I have been searching for
just the right one ever since Icome to a maker. No. Now,
