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.

(00:00):
I'm Alive soap, Your Beauty Hopeand Luster Cream shampoo for soft, glamorous,
caressible hair. Bring You Our,Miss Brooks starring Eve Arden. Our
Miss Brooks teaches English at Madison HighSchool, and what with the overcrowded classrooms
(00:23):
and a rather rigorous schedule, hashad a pretty busy time during the past
semester, but not busy enough evidentlyto suit mister Osgood Conklin, Madison's beloved
warden a principal. Just recently,mister Conklin organized a school banking system.
And who do you think was selectedfor the honor of handling this noble project
(00:45):
at no increase in salary? Well, it wasn't Barney Baruch. I've had
to take care of all the recordssingle handed. Oh, I'm not complaining.
I think it's admirable for people tobe saving and prugal, especially if
you've got something to frud asaye,But I didn't count on the complications that
set in last week. It seemsthat after school Thursday, I had twenty
(01:10):
five dollars of the student's money inan envelope, which I placed on the
dresser in my room at missus Davis'sI intended to deposit it Friday morning and
had asked Missus Davis to wake meat the usual time. I was sleeping
very heavily when she knocked on mydoor. Honey, oh Connie, Connie,
are you in there. I'll beback in fifteen minutes now, Toney,
(01:34):
you've got kid UPO. Why togo to school? I graduated from
school a long time ago. Well, not such a long time ago.
Before you do anything else, dear, I want you to see the surprise
I've got for you here in thisbox, in this box on open.
Oh, I don't understand, MissusDavis. It isn't my birthday or anything.
(01:56):
Why it's a dress? Oh?You shouldn't have done it, missus.
Oh sure I should have. No, you should, Yes, I
should. I bought it with practicallyfound money. Found money. Yes,
I found it on your dresser yesterday. I knew that you'd left it for
me to cover the back rent youowe, but frankly, Connie, I
(02:19):
didn't expect it so soon. AndMissus Davis, Yes, Connie, you
shouldn't have done it. But whydo you like the dress? Connie?
Sure I like the dress. Ilove the dress. But will the district
attorney care for it? Attorney,Well, don't you see, missus Davis,
that wasn't my money. I wasgoing to deposit that for the students.
And today also happens to be theday mister Conklin and inspects my bank
(02:42):
records. That is a coincidence,isn't it. Yeah, the happiest coincidence
since Frankenstein met the Wolfman. Look, I know you meant well, and
I hate to hurt your feelings,but really, you won't hurt my feelings,
Connie. I'm a lot like mysister Angela that way. She just
refuses to hard thoughts. That's verynice, missus Davis. But from what
you've told me about Angela, sometimesshe doesn't harbor any thoughts at all.
(03:07):
Yes, she is terribly absent minded, poor dear, But sometimes that's for
the best. What's for the best, what's for the best for who?
If you'll punch my transfer, I'dlike to get off you, see,
Missus Davis. I've got a bigproblem today. That money that paid for
(03:29):
that dress didn't belong to me.It didn't. I've already told you,
Missus Davis. It was part ofthe student savings. Oh Connie, Then
you shouldn't have done it. ButI didn't do it. You did it.
Ignorance of the law is no excuences. It's terrible. Let's see that
box again. Oh you got thedress at Sherry's Department Store. Maybe they'll
(03:50):
take it back and refund the money. You see, Connie, I thought
you left the money for the backrank you. Oh, and I know
you did, Missus Davis, AndI appreciate the thought more than I can
tell you. But if you excuseme, I've got to get ready now.
Walter, Danton's picking me up ina few minutes. Oh, did
you have another accident with your car, Connie? Just a slight collision with
a new Hudson, Missus Davis.What happened? Well, you know the
ad they have Hudson, the caryou step down into. Yes, well
(04:15):
this one I drove down into.Do you know how to get to Sherry's
Department Store, Walter, I've gotto stop there for a minute. Oh
sure, miss Brooks, I'll getyou there in no time. Oh,
by the way, how do youlike the car today? The car?
(04:35):
Oh, it looks fine, Walter. I polished all four fenders the other
day. Well, I'm sure that'llimprove the appearance of what fenders. You
haven't got any fenders on the carat all, of course not. They're
home in my garage. I onlyput them on weekends, for sure.
Even people don't dress up every dayin the week. I see no sense
(04:58):
in hitting a sloppy pedestrian with ancar, exactly. You know, human
beings are a lot like cars ifthey only stop to think about it.
Take yourself, for instance, theway you look this morning. I know,
Stanley Steamer, I'm only trying tobe helpful, Miss Brooks. You
look a little worried about something.Is there anything I can do? Nothing
(05:20):
I can think of offhand, Walter, just keep it under your hat.
You keep what under my hat?The information You're going to worm out of
me by the time we get toSherry's. Oh well, what is the
information? It's about the school bankingsystem. Oh oh that. I know.
That's a big pain in the neckto you, But that's nothing to
get depressed about. Gosh, didyou see the papers this morning? No,
(05:43):
I didn't get a chance. Wellyou ought to read the story and
the bullet and how that ad cheeryou up. It's all about a woman
inmed bezzler who was caught stealing nineteenthousand dollars from the Federal Trust Company.
They just gave her ten years inthe clink. I feel better already.
Well, she didn't even get achance to spend any of the Docian Bessels.
(06:05):
I guess honesty is the best policyafter all, which I had taken
out of policy like that and writein the same paper as another story that
would make you glad just to beworking at school, Miss Brooks. It's
about conditions in the State Reformatory forwomen. No good? Huh, deplorable?
(06:25):
Oh, they make the poor inmatesmop the floors all day long.
And if they haven't got any mops, which they usually don't have because they're
so short of everything, why thenthe women have to mop the floors with
their hands. How awful. Oh, here's the star water drive up in
the back, will you. That'sthe quickest way to get to the basement.
Basement. Certainly that's where they keepthe mops, isn't it. Let's
(06:57):
see now, adjustment office, thismust be it. I beg your pardoner,
come in, come in. You'remy very first adjustment today, now,
won't you, miss so Brooks?Constance Brooks, how do you do,
Miss Brooks. I, mister Pearson, would you like a cigarette?
No? Thanks, I'm pup ofcoffee. No, I've got to get
to school pretty quickly. Good foryou. There's nothing I like better than
(07:19):
a nice, punctual pupil. Thisinterview may not be as unpleasant as I
anticipated. I'm not a pupil,mister Pearson. I'm a teacher at Madison
High. But the reason I droppedin here is to return address someone bought
for me. Well, you knowthe motto of Sherry's, don't you.
If you're not satisfied, we cheerfullyrepunge your money. That's what I've heard.
(07:42):
That's what we do now. Thenabout this dress? You don't like
it? Yes? I do.I like it very much, but it
doesn't fit quite properly. Well,I can't be certain about that because frankly,
I didn't need the color. Ohyou don't like the color. I
think the color is peachy, Isee, and so it flashes with your
(08:03):
complexion. You don't understand. Ijust can't keep the dress. I've got
to get the money back. Butthat's what we're here for. In Sherry's,
your money is cheerfully refunded. She'dstopped being cheerful and start refunding.
Now, then, first of all, we must have a ballid basis for
adjustment it. Tell me, howdid you find out that the material in
(08:26):
this garment is inferior? Inferior?I didn't find us sales lady told you,
didn't she, Miss Morgan? MissMorgan? Oh you know her?
Then there's no sense trying to shieldof Miss Brooks. I knew there was
a leak somewhere. We'll have aloyalty check in the morning. Look,
somebody bought me this dress with moneythat well it shouldn't have been spent.
(08:50):
Why not, Miss Brooks? Youdon't answer that. I know it was
counterfeit money, young woman. I'msurprised at you. Surprised and shocked.
Now just a minute, mister Pearson, there was nothing wrong with the money
missus Davis paid for this dress.Oh, missus Davis paid for the dress.
Miss Brooks, what are you doingwith missus Davis's dress under your arm?
(09:11):
I think I know you couldn't affordthe dress yourself, but you needed
money, so when you saw itlying there on missus Davis's bed, you
couldn't resist the temptation. You pickedit up and brought it here for a
refund. Oh, you poor misguidedcreature. This guy really runs the gamus.
(09:33):
Listen, mister Pearson. Missus Davisis my land lady. She bought
me a dress for a present inthis store yesterday. Well why didn't you
say so, miss Brooks. Yousee, yesterday we had our final clear
and sale of Ladies dresses, andof course in a close out of that
sort, there can never be anyrefund. What but remember anything else you
buy can be returned within sixty daysand Sherry's will cheerfully refund your money.
(09:58):
Well that's just. And the nexttime you have a say, I'll be
sure and get in touch with me. I'll be dled. Where can we
reach you? Just drop into anypost office. You'll find my number under
my picture Powerless book Starry Lee Vardenwill continue in just a moment, but
(10:22):
first here is Verne Smith. Ladies, what's your complexion problem? My skin's
so dingy, mind's oily, myskin's dull course looking. Doctor's approved that
many complexion problems respond wonderfully to propercleansing with palmaly soap, regardless of age,
skin type, or previous beauty care, Oily skin looks less oily,
dull, drab skin fresher and brighter. Coarse looking skin appears finer, even
(10:46):
tiny blemishes, incipient blackheads disappear orimprove. To win such complexion improvements,
simply use palm Olly soap nothing butPomali the way doctors advise. Wash your
face with palm Olive's soap three timesa day with Palmaliv's wonderful beauty lather for
sixty seconds each time to get itsfull beautifying effect. Then rinse. Look
(11:07):
for improvements in your complexion within fourteendays. For remember thirty six doctors leading
skin specialists advised this way for onetwo hundred eighty five women with all types
of skin young, old, dry, oily, normal, and proved it
could bring lovelier complexions to two outof three. So forget all other beauty
care. Use Palmalive soap the waythese doctors advised. For a fresher,
(11:30):
brighter complexion for loveliness all over,use big thrifty both size Pomalive in your
tub or shower. Well Sherry's DepartmentStore lived up to its reputation by refunding
the dress and cheerfully keeping my moneyin a way. It's a good thing
(11:52):
I had the extra dress with me, because when we got to school I
stepped out of Walter's car and rightthrough the hem of the dress I had
on. Well, knowing I hadto face mister Conkline, I felt pretty
panicky. It's bad enough to haveyour spirits dragging without having your hem down
there too. But I finally hiton a pretty good scheme. Between classes,
I dropped into the domestic Science roomto have my old dress patched up
(12:15):
and to try and sell a newone. Excuse me, miss Addlebury,
but I wonder if you could helpme out. Oh, it's miss Brooks.
We'll come in, dear. Whatcan I do for you? Well,
I tore the hem of this dressI've got on. I'd like to
get it fixed up. I'll dowhatever I can. Some of these sewing
machines are in pretty bad shape.There's one old singer here that hasn't worked
for weeks, and sue bed maybeyou could teach him to dance or sow
(12:39):
the scene by hand. Let's seethat hem now, Hmmm, pretty bad
rip. Take quite a while tofix it. Well, then maybe i'd
better slip on this other dress tillyou're done, I'll just step behind this
screen here and take this one off. Oh there you got it. Yes,
I'll start stitching it up right away. Good. I'll certainly appreciate it,
Miss Adderbury. I got this oneon. How do you like it?
(13:01):
Why? It's lovely, Miss Brooks. I wish I had one like
it you have, Miss Adderbury.I've decided this dress is not my type,
so you're welcome to it for twentyfive dollars. Only twenty five dollars.
That's a steal, miss Brooks.Let's use another word. Shall wait?
Now? If you'll excuse me,Miss Addlebury, I've got to get
(13:22):
over to mister Conkline's office, allright, miss Brooks, and I have
your other dress i'll fix when youcome back. Then we'll try the new
one on me. Of course,I weigh one hundred and eighty six,
but I hope I can get intoit. Just have the twenty five dollars
ready. You'll get into it.Oh one thing, Miss Adderbury. Yes,
while I'm gone, try and losea few pounds. Now, I'll
(13:50):
see here, Harriet. Just becauseyou're my daughter, it doesn't give you
the privilege of taking time off fromyour study. Period as principal of the
school. I'm money. I'll onlytake a minute. I just want your
permission to withdraw a three dollars frommy school savings account. I've just gotta
have a new swear, Harriet.It distresses me to hear you talk this
way. Why do you realize thatit's invariably a craving for unnecessary finery that
is the basis for most of thecrimes committed by women. But Daddy,
(14:13):
just this morning there was a storyin the paper about a woman being held
as an embezzler. And do youknow what her alibi was? She needed
clothes. I tell you it's adisgrace what this civilization is coming to show
me a well dressed girl who hasonly a moderate income, and I'll show
you an embezzler. Good morning,mister Conklin. Oh, good morning,
(14:33):
Miss Brookes. I see we haveon a new dread. Oh is yours
new too? This is sort ofnew? It's well. Yes, hello,
Harriet, Hi, miss Brooks,run along, Harriet. I have
some important matters to discuss with MissBrookes. All right, daddy, we'll
take my matter up later on.Huh, dismissed girl, Yes, sir,
(14:56):
now then, miss Brooks, haveyou brought all the student banking record
with you? Well, not exactlyall of them, mister Conklin, Then
how many? None of them?You see, I wanted to double check
some of the items before you andI did the final recap. And what
are you trying to tell me,Miss Brooks. Oh, I'm not trying
to tell you anything, mister Conklin. The less the better, you see,
(15:16):
there's one more deposit I've got tomake today before the record's tally.
Very well, Miss Brooks, I'llwait until lunch period. Well, have
a long lunch period, mister Conklin. It may take me quite a while
to do what Miss Brooks, tostart a pyramid club. See you later,
mister. Oh, you did awonderful job on my old dress,
(15:39):
Miss Adderbury. I suppose you tryon this new one, all right,
Brooks. But I'm so much heavierthan you. I hope I can get
it on. Oh, you'll getit on easily. I have to smear
you with butter. Now off ofthe old and on with the new.
Lift your arms. That's a goodgirl. Now down over your shoulders,
(16:00):
fine, past your waist? Goodnow pasture there? Oh it fits you
like a glove, Miss Adderbury,feels like I'm standing in the pinky.
We'll close the zipper along the side. The zipper all right, won't move?
(16:21):
Oh nonsense. Take a deep breathnow hold it? Oh there we
are. When can I breathe out? Oh, don't be a child?
You look lovely in at Miss Adderbury. Thanks, Miss Brooks, but I
carel my breath any longer. Whathappened? Nothing much. The zipper just
(16:41):
returned to at ease. Yeah,that's what I like about this dress,
Miss Sadderberry. It brings out thereal you, God you. I guess
we will have to alter it alittle. But if you'll just give me
that twenty five dollars now, i'dlike to tell him in it this Brooks,
I don't know if I'm want tobuy this dress right now here.
Let me take another deep red Thelatest thing plunging neckline. You know the
(17:10):
fashion experts say that necklines are goingfurther south every year. I know,
of course, this one's on itsway to Mexico City. I'm sure the
dress can be made to fish.I'm sure it can't. Miss Brooks,
we just weren't made for each other. Help me get it off. Will
you all right, Miss Saddlebury,But you're overlooking a great buy. After
all, breathing isn't everything. I'vegot an idea. Why don't you dye
(17:37):
the dress diet what color? Flashcolor? Then you wouldn't have to worry
about the zipper. No, Iguess not. Oh, there's a lunch
period. I've got to hurry overto mister Boynton's laboratory. Oh did mister
Boyton invite you to lunch, missBrooks. That's why I've got to hurry.
He's just going to Oh hello,mister Boyton. I'm glad I caught
(18:03):
you before you went to lunch.Hello, miss Brooks. I'm not going
to the cafeteria today. I broughta couple of sandwiches to eat right here.
Would you like one of them?Oh? I don't know, mister
Boyton, I don't like to takehome. You go ahead, Miss Brooks,
are very good. Well, thanks, they're only thirty cents apiece.
Here's fifteen. I'll just eat thebottom half. You know, I really
should be in mister Conklin's office rightnow with the school banking records. But
(18:26):
frankly, well i'm a little shy. Well that's one of the reasons I
like you, Miss Brooks. Idon't mean bashful shy, I mean comes
to the station house shy. Idon't under stand, Miss Brooks. Is
there something wrong? Nothing serious?Mister Boynton. Do you think you could
ever love an embezzler? I neverhave. What's this all about, Miss
(18:48):
Brooks? Oh well, let's forgetit. Let's live for today, eat,
drink and be merry. For tomorrowwe die. Here's another fifteen cents.
Give me the top of that sandwich. Are you sure everything's all right,
miss Brooks. Let's not talk aboutit. Mister Boynton, tell me
why are you eating in the lab? Cutting down expenses? Well, sort
of. I've been a little shortall month, you too, Well,
I'll be solemn again this afternoon.Mister Conklin's buying a sport jacket of mine.
(19:11):
It's one that was sent to mefor Christmas, and he just insists
on my selling it to him.It says he wants to wear it to
the faculty masquerade ball next month.Masquerade ball. What kind of a jacket
is it? It's green swade.Mister Conkline's going as Robin Hood. Oh

(19:56):
mister Boynton. Take your jacket off. That's a good boy. Just slip
this dress on for size. Butmiss Brooks, I'll never be able to
get into it. If miss Addleburycould get into it, you can get
into it. Now, come onright over your head, just straighten it
out there. I feel ridiculous,Miss Brooks. Why it looks lovely on
(20:17):
you, mister boynman, and I'mgoing to let you have it very reasonably.
But it's it's so tight. Wellnaturally it's tight now, but that's
easily corrected. It'll fit you perfectlywhen you've got the proper foundation garment,

What a Bill Walder? Please?It's mister Boyton. Mister Boyton, I'm

we were looking for you, missBrooks was to tell you that Daddy wants
to go over those school savings recordsright away. I know he does,
Harriet, but I haven't an ableto make a certain deposit yet. However,
(21:02):
as soon as I sell this dressto mister Boynton, I'm afraid I
can't buy this, Miss Brooks.It's just not my type of costumes.
Oh but mister Boyn Brooks, ifmister Boyton doesn't want to dress, maybe
my mother will buy it. Iknow she's been saving up for one.
Really, Harriet, do you thinkshe'd like it? Why? I think
so? Would you mind modeling itfor me? Mister Boynton? Modeling you

I put the twenty five dollars inan old pair of goloshes in the hall
closet. I slept until almost teno'clock Saturday morning and was just getting out
of bed when Missus Davis came in. Oh, I'm so glad you're rough,
(27:12):
Connie. I thought that was thecutest thing you thought. What was
the cutest thing, Missus Davis?How you tried to give me some advance
rent by slipping it into the galoshesyou borrowed? Like, Oh no,
you didn't take that money and buyme another dress? Of course not,
Connie. I bought you a lovelyleather briefcase to keep the student savings in.
(27:33):
Well, there's only one way out. Get me a needle and thread,
a needland thread. What are yougoing to do? What can I

I'm Alive soap, Your Beauty Hopeand Luster Cream shampoo for soft, glamorous,
caressible hair. Bring You Our,Miss Brooks starring Eve Arden. Our
Miss Brooks teaches English at Madison HighSchool, and what with the overcrowded classrooms
(00:23):
and a rather rigorous schedule, hashad a pretty busy time during the past
semester, but not busy enough evidentlyto suit mister Osgood Conklin, Madison's beloved
warden a principal. Just recently,mister Conklin organized a school banking system.
And who do you think was selectedfor the honor of handling this noble project
(00:45):
at no increase in salary? Well, it wasn't Barney Baruch. I've had
to take care of all the recordssingle handed. Oh, I'm not complaining.
I think it's admirable for people tobe saving and prugal, especially if
you've got something to frud asaye,But I didn't count on the complications that
set in last week. It seemsthat after school Thursday, I had twenty
(01:10):
five dollars of the student's money inan envelope, which I placed on the
dresser in my room at missus Davis'sI intended to deposit it Friday morning and
had asked Missus Davis to wake meat the usual time. I was sleeping
very heavily when she knocked on mydoor. Honey, oh Connie, Connie,
are you in there. I'll beback in fifteen minutes now, Toney,
(01:34):
you've got kid UPO. Why togo to school? I graduated from
school a long time ago. Well, not such a long time ago.
Before you do anything else, dear, I want you to see the surprise
I've got for you here in thisbox, in this box on open.
Oh, I don't understand, MissusDavis. It isn't my birthday or anything.
(01:56):
Why it's a dress? Oh?You shouldn't have done it, missus.
Oh sure I should have. No, you should, Yes, I
should. I bought it with practicallyfound money. Found money. Yes,
I found it on your dresser yesterday. I knew that you'd left it for
me to cover the back rent youowe, but frankly, Connie, I
(02:19):
didn't expect it so soon. AndMissus Davis, Yes, Connie, you
shouldn't have done it. But whydo you like the dress? Connie?
Sure I like the dress. Ilove the dress. But will the district
attorney care for it? Attorney,Well, don't you see, missus Davis,
that wasn't my money. I wasgoing to deposit that for the students.
And today also happens to be theday mister Conklin and inspects my bank
(02:42):
records. That is a coincidence,isn't it. Yeah, the happiest coincidence
since Frankenstein met the Wolfman. Look, I know you meant well, and
I hate to hurt your feelings,but really, you won't hurt my feelings,
Connie. I'm a lot like mysister Angela that way. She just
refuses to hard thoughts. That's verynice, missus Davis. But from what
you've told me about Angela, sometimesshe doesn't harbor any thoughts at all.
(03:07):
Yes, she is terribly absent minded, poor dear, But sometimes that's for
the best. What's for the best, what's for the best for who?
If you'll punch my transfer, I'dlike to get off you, see,
Missus Davis. I've got a bigproblem today. That money that paid for
(03:29):
that dress didn't belong to me.It didn't. I've already told you,
Missus Davis. It was part ofthe student savings. Oh Connie, Then
you shouldn't have done it. ButI didn't do it. You did it.
Ignorance of the law is no excuences. It's terrible. Let's see that
box again. Oh you got thedress at Sherry's Department Store. Maybe they'll
(03:50):
take it back and refund the money. You see, Connie, I thought
you left the money for the backrank you. Oh, and I know
you did, Missus Davis, AndI appreciate the thought more than I can
tell you. But if you excuseme, I've got to get ready now.
Walter, Danton's picking me up ina few minutes. Oh, did
you have another accident with your car, Connie? Just a slight collision with
a new Hudson, Missus Davis.What happened? Well, you know the
ad they have Hudson, the caryou step down into. Yes, well
(04:15):
this one I drove down into.Do you know how to get to Sherry's
Department Store, Walter, I've gotto stop there for a minute. Oh
sure, miss Brooks, I'll getyou there in no time. Oh,
by the way, how do youlike the car today? The car?
(04:35):
Oh, it looks fine, Walter. I polished all four fenders the other
day. Well, I'm sure that'llimprove the appearance of what fenders. You
haven't got any fenders on the carat all, of course not. They're
home in my garage. I onlyput them on weekends, for sure.
Even people don't dress up every dayin the week. I see no sense
(04:58):
in hitting a sloppy pedestrian with ancar, exactly. You know, human
beings are a lot like cars ifthey only stop to think about it.
Take yourself, for instance, theway you look this morning. I know,
Stanley Steamer, I'm only trying tobe helpful, Miss Brooks. You
look a little worried about something.Is there anything I can do? Nothing
(05:20):
I can think of offhand, Walter, just keep it under your hat.
You keep what under my hat?The information You're going to worm out of
me by the time we get toSherry's. Oh well, what is the
information? It's about the school bankingsystem. Oh oh that. I know.
That's a big pain in the neckto you, But that's nothing to
get depressed about. Gosh, didyou see the papers this morning? No,
(05:43):
I didn't get a chance. Wellyou ought to read the story and
the bullet and how that ad cheeryou up. It's all about a woman
inmed bezzler who was caught stealing nineteenthousand dollars from the Federal Trust Company.
They just gave her ten years inthe clink. I feel better already.
Well, she didn't even get achance to spend any of the Docian Bessels.
(06:05):
I guess honesty is the best policyafter all, which I had taken
out of policy like that and writein the same paper as another story that
would make you glad just to beworking at school, Miss Brooks. It's
about conditions in the State Reformatory forwomen. No good? Huh, deplorable?
(06:25):
Oh, they make the poor inmatesmop the floors all day long.
And if they haven't got any mops, which they usually don't have because they're
so short of everything, why thenthe women have to mop the floors with
their hands. How awful. Oh, here's the star water drive up in
the back, will you. That'sthe quickest way to get to the basement.
Basement. Certainly that's where they keepthe mops, isn't it. Let's
(06:57):
see now, adjustment office, thismust be it. I beg your pardoner,
come in, come in. You'remy very first adjustment today, now,
won't you, miss so Brooks?Constance Brooks, how do you do,
Miss Brooks. I, mister Pearson, would you like a cigarette?
No? Thanks, I'm pup ofcoffee. No, I've got to get
to school pretty quickly. Good foryou. There's nothing I like better than
(07:19):
a nice, punctual pupil. Thisinterview may not be as unpleasant as I
anticipated. I'm not a pupil,mister Pearson. I'm a teacher at Madison
High. But the reason I droppedin here is to return address someone bought
for me. Well, you knowthe motto of Sherry's, don't you.
If you're not satisfied, we cheerfullyrepunge your money. That's what I've heard.
(07:42):
That's what we do now. Thenabout this dress? You don't like
it? Yes? I do.I like it very much, but it
doesn't fit quite properly. Well,I can't be certain about that because frankly,
I didn't need the color. Ohyou don't like the color. I
think the color is peachy, Isee, and so it flashes with your
(08:03):
complexion. You don't understand. Ijust can't keep the dress. I've got
to get the money back. Butthat's what we're here for. In Sherry's,
your money is cheerfully refunded. She'dstopped being cheerful and start refunding.
Now, then, first of all, we must have a ballid basis for
adjustment it. Tell me, howdid you find out that the material in
(08:26):
this garment is inferior? Inferior?I didn't find us sales lady told you,
didn't she, Miss Morgan? MissMorgan? Oh you know her?
Then there's no sense trying to shieldof Miss Brooks. I knew there was
a leak somewhere. We'll have aloyalty check in the morning. Look,
somebody bought me this dress with moneythat well it shouldn't have been spent.
(08:50):
Why not, Miss Brooks? Youdon't answer that. I know it was
counterfeit money, young woman. I'msurprised at you. Surprised and shocked.
Now just a minute, mister Pearson, there was nothing wrong with the money
missus Davis paid for this dress.Oh, missus Davis paid for the dress.
Miss Brooks, what are you doingwith missus Davis's dress under your arm?
(09:11):
I think I know you couldn't affordthe dress yourself, but you needed
money, so when you saw itlying there on missus Davis's bed, you
couldn't resist the temptation. You pickedit up and brought it here for a
refund. Oh, you poor misguidedcreature. This guy really runs the gamus.
(09:33):
Listen, mister Pearson. Missus Davisis my land lady. She bought
me a dress for a present inthis store yesterday. Well why didn't you
say so, miss Brooks. Yousee, yesterday we had our final clear
and sale of Ladies dresses, andof course in a close out of that
sort, there can never be anyrefund. What but remember anything else you
buy can be returned within sixty daysand Sherry's will cheerfully refund your money.
(09:58):
Well that's just. And the nexttime you have a say, I'll be
sure and get in touch with me. I'll be dled. Where can we
reach you? Just drop into anypost office. You'll find my number under
my picture Powerless book Starry Lee Vardenwill continue in just a moment, but
(10:22):
first here is Verne Smith. Ladies, what's your complexion problem? My skin's
so dingy, mind's oily, myskin's dull course looking. Doctor's approved that
many complexion problems respond wonderfully to propercleansing with palmaly soap, regardless of age,
skin type, or previous beauty care, Oily skin looks less oily,
dull, drab skin fresher and brighter. Coarse looking skin appears finer, even
(10:46):
tiny blemishes, incipient blackheads disappear orimprove. To win such complexion improvements,
simply use palm Olly soap nothing butPomali the way doctors advise. Wash your
face with palm Olive's soap three timesa day with Palmaliv's wonderful beauty lather for
sixty seconds each time to get itsfull beautifying effect. Then rinse. Look
(11:07):
for improvements in your complexion within fourteendays. For remember thirty six doctors leading
skin specialists advised this way for onetwo hundred eighty five women with all types
of skin young, old, dry, oily, normal, and proved it
could bring lovelier complexions to two outof three. So forget all other beauty
care. Use Palmalive soap the waythese doctors advised. For a fresher,
(11:30):
brighter complexion for loveliness all over,use big thrifty both size Pomalive in your
tub or shower. Well Sherry's DepartmentStore lived up to its reputation by refunding
the dress and cheerfully keeping my moneyin a way. It's a good thing
(11:52):
I had the extra dress with me, because when we got to school I
stepped out of Walter's car and rightthrough the hem of the dress I had
on. Well, knowing I hadto face mister Conkline, I felt pretty
panicky. It's bad enough to haveyour spirits dragging without having your hem down
there too. But I finally hiton a pretty good scheme. Between classes,
I dropped into the domestic Science roomto have my old dress patched up
(12:15):
and to try and sell a newone. Excuse me, miss Addlebury,
but I wonder if you could helpme out. Oh, it's miss Brooks.
We'll come in, dear. Whatcan I do for you? Well,
I tore the hem of this dressI've got on. I'd like to
get it fixed up. I'll dowhatever I can. Some of these sewing
machines are in pretty bad shape.There's one old singer here that hasn't worked
for weeks, and sue bed maybeyou could teach him to dance or sow
(12:39):
the scene by hand. Let's seethat hem now, Hmmm, pretty bad
rip. Take quite a while tofix it. Well, then maybe i'd
better slip on this other dress tillyou're done, I'll just step behind this
screen here and take this one off. Oh there you got it. Yes,
I'll start stitching it up right away. Good. I'll certainly appreciate it,
Miss Adderbury. I got this oneon. How do you like it?
(13:01):
Why? It's lovely, Miss Brooks. I wish I had one like
it you have, Miss Adderbury.I've decided this dress is not my type,
so you're welcome to it for twentyfive dollars. Only twenty five dollars.
That's a steal, miss Brooks.Let's use another word. Shall wait?
Now? If you'll excuse me,Miss Addlebury, I've got to get
(13:22):
over to mister Conkline's office, allright, miss Brooks, and I have
your other dress i'll fix when youcome back. Then we'll try the new
one on me. Of course,I weigh one hundred and eighty six,
but I hope I can get intoit. Just have the twenty five dollars
ready. You'll get into it.Oh one thing, Miss Adderbury. Yes,
while I'm gone, try and losea few pounds. Now, I'll
(13:50):
see here, Harriet. Just becauseyou're my daughter, it doesn't give you
the privilege of taking time off fromyour study. Period as principal of the
school. I'm money. I'll onlytake a minute. I just want your
permission to withdraw a three dollars frommy school savings account. I've just gotta
have a new swear, Harriet.It distresses me to hear you talk this
way. Why do you realize thatit's invariably a craving for unnecessary finery that
is the basis for most of thecrimes committed by women. But Daddy,
(14:13):
just this morning there was a storyin the paper about a woman being held
as an embezzler. And do youknow what her alibi was? She needed
clothes. I tell you it's adisgrace what this civilization is coming to show
me a well dressed girl who hasonly a moderate income, and I'll show
you an embezzler. Good morning,mister Conklin. Oh, good morning,
(14:33):
Miss Brookes. I see we haveon a new dread. Oh is yours
new too? This is sort ofnew? It's well. Yes, hello,
Harriet, Hi, miss Brooks,run along, Harriet. I have
some important matters to discuss with MissBrookes. All right, daddy, we'll
take my matter up later on.Huh, dismissed girl, Yes, sir,
(14:56):
now then, miss Brooks, haveyou brought all the student banking record
with you? Well, not exactlyall of them, mister Conklin, Then
how many? None of them?You see, I wanted to double check
some of the items before you andI did the final recap. And what
are you trying to tell me,Miss Brooks. Oh, I'm not trying
to tell you anything, mister Conklin. The less the better, you see,
(15:16):
there's one more deposit I've got tomake today before the record's tally.
Very well, Miss Brooks, I'llwait until lunch period. Well, have
a long lunch period, mister Conklin. It may take me quite a while
to do what Miss Brooks, tostart a pyramid club. See you later,
mister. Oh, you did awonderful job on my old dress,
(15:39):
Miss Adderbury. I suppose you tryon this new one, all right,
Brooks. But I'm so much heavierthan you. I hope I can get
it on. Oh, you'll getit on easily. I have to smear
you with butter. Now off ofthe old and on with the new.
Lift your arms. That's a goodgirl. Now down over your shoulders,
(16:00):
fine, past your waist? Goodnow pasture there? Oh it fits you
like a glove, Miss Adderbury,feels like I'm standing in the pinky.
We'll close the zipper along the side. The zipper all right, won't move?
(16:21):
Oh nonsense. Take a deep breathnow hold it? Oh there we
are. When can I breathe out? Oh, don't be a child?
You look lovely in at Miss Adderbury. Thanks, Miss Brooks, but I
carel my breath any longer. Whathappened? Nothing much. The zipper just
(16:41):
returned to at ease. Yeah,that's what I like about this dress,
Miss Sadderberry. It brings out thereal you, God you. I guess
we will have to alter it alittle. But if you'll just give me
that twenty five dollars now, i'dlike to tell him in it this Brooks,
I don't know if I'm want tobuy this dress right now here.
Let me take another deep red Thelatest thing plunging neckline. You know the
(17:10):
fashion experts say that necklines are goingfurther south every year. I know,
of course, this one's on itsway to Mexico City. I'm sure the
dress can be made to fish.I'm sure it can't. Miss Brooks,
we just weren't made for each other. Help me get it off. Will
you all right, Miss Saddlebury,But you're overlooking a great buy. After
all, breathing isn't everything. I'vegot an idea. Why don't you dye
(17:37):
the dress diet what color? Flashcolor? Then you wouldn't have to worry
about the zipper. No, Iguess not. Oh, there's a lunch
period. I've got to hurry overto mister Boynton's laboratory. Oh did mister
Boyton invite you to lunch, missBrooks. That's why I've got to hurry.
He's just going to Oh hello,mister Boyton. I'm glad I caught
(18:03):
you before you went to lunch.Hello, miss Brooks. I'm not going
to the cafeteria today. I broughta couple of sandwiches to eat right here.
Would you like one of them?Oh? I don't know, mister
Boyton, I don't like to takehome. You go ahead, Miss Brooks,
are very good. Well, thanks, they're only thirty cents apiece.
Here's fifteen. I'll just eat thebottom half. You know, I really
should be in mister Conklin's office rightnow with the school banking records. But
(18:26):
frankly, well i'm a little shy. Well that's one of the reasons I
like you, Miss Brooks. Idon't mean bashful shy, I mean comes
to the station house shy. Idon't under stand, Miss Brooks. Is
there something wrong? Nothing serious?Mister Boynton. Do you think you could
ever love an embezzler? I neverhave. What's this all about, Miss
(18:48):
Brooks? Oh well, let's forgetit. Let's live for today, eat,
drink and be merry. For tomorrowwe die. Here's another fifteen cents.
Give me the top of that sandwich. Are you sure everything's all right,
miss Brooks. Let's not talk aboutit. Mister Boynton, tell me
why are you eating in the lab? Cutting down expenses? Well, sort
of. I've been a little shortall month, you too, Well,
I'll be solemn again this afternoon.Mister Conklin's buying a sport jacket of mine.
(19:11):
It's one that was sent to mefor Christmas, and he just insists
on my selling it to him.It says he wants to wear it to
the faculty masquerade ball next month.Masquerade ball. What kind of a jacket
is it? It's green swade.Mister Conkline's going as Robin Hood. Oh
he's a natural. What's he givingyou for it about twenty five dollars.
Gee, I'm glad I dropped intoday. Good to see you, mister
(19:33):
Barnton. Thanks, Miss Brooks.What are you going to wear to the
masquerade? Mister Barton, I don'tknow. I haven't made up my mind
yet. You only think you haven'tmade up your mind yet. Mister Boyden,
I happen to have in this boxthe ideal costume for you. Hope
it, Miss Brooks. Let meunwrap it for you. Now tell the
truth, mister Barnton, who alwayswins the grand prize at Fancy Dress Affairs,
men who dresses women, men whodresses women. You're so right,
(19:56):
mister Boynton. Take your jacket off. That's a good boy. Just slip
this dress on for size. Butmiss Brooks, I'll never be able to
get into it. If miss Addleburycould get into it, you can get
into it. Now, come onright over your head, just straighten it
out there. I feel ridiculous,Miss Brooks. Why it looks lovely on
(20:17):
you, mister boynman, and I'mgoing to let you have it very reasonably.
But it's it's so tight. Wellnaturally it's tight now, but that's
easily corrected. It'll fit you perfectlywhen you've got the proper foundation garment,
foundation garment. Oh excuse me,Walter, and I would just oh hi,
miss Brooks. Hello, Harriet Walter, we were who's your friend?
(20:41):
What a Bill Walder? Please?It's mister Boyton. Mister Boyton, I'm
just trying on a masquerade costume.Oh I see, well, the reason
we were looking for you, missBrooks was to tell you that Daddy wants
to go over those school savings recordsright away. I know he does,
Harriet, but I haven't an ableto make a certain deposit yet. However,
(21:02):
as soon as I sell this dressto mister Boynton, I'm afraid I
can't buy this, Miss Brooks.It's just not my type of costumes.
Oh but mister Boyn Brooks, ifmister Boyton doesn't want to dress, maybe
my mother will buy it. Iknow she's been saving up for one.
Really, Harriet, do you thinkshe'd like it? Why? I think
so? Would you mind modeling itfor me? Mister Boynton? Modeling you
(21:22):
know, walk up and down withyour hand on your hip. I have
to do that once when I firstjoined the fraternity. Missus absurd. Please,
mister Boynton just a few steps.Well, pretty girl, it's like
Amelly that. Oh hello, misterConklin, Hello, mister Conklin, Hello
(21:48):

know this is a biology laboratory.But what kind of an experiment is there?
(22:10):
The masquerade, mister Conkon. No, I don't want to hear him
all about it. I presume youstill haven't prepared the school savings record yet.
No I haven't, mister Conkin.I'll be tied up for the rest
of the day, but bring themto my home immediately after school and they'd
better balance. Let's see now wherewere we? Oh? Yes, she
will leave you and then come back. If you'll just take this chair by
