Speaker 1 (00:00):
Colgate Dental Cream to clean your breath while you clean
your teeth and help stop tooth decay. And Luster Cream
Shampoo for stoft glamorous caressible hair. Bring you Our Miss
Brooks starring Eve Arden.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's time once again for another comedy episode of Our.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Miss Brooks, written by al Lewis Well. With spring upon us.
Bigger and better playgrounds for children are the order of
the day. Madison High School, where our Miss Brooks teaches English,
promptly volunteered to help its local Chamber of Commerce collect
funds for this worthy cause.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
That's why our beloved principle, our good Conklin called us
into his office early Friday morning. Us consisted of mister
Boynton and myself as faculty advisers, Walter Denton, the student
who runs the school paper, and Harriet Conklin, the student
who runs Walter Denton. As soon as we were all seated,
mister Conklin addressed us.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
We are here to discuss a project which is near
and dear to my heart, children's playgrounds in this community.
I'm sure I cannot overemphasize the importance of the little
ones in our present day civilization.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We got enough little.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Ones what the Chamber of Commerce wands to some big playgrounds.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
If that was intended as a witticism Denton, it missed
the mark.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I don't know. I thought it had a certain que.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
To help raise money for this worthy project.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
We are holding a charity auction in our gym at
four o'clock this afternoon. However, due to a very poor
publicity campaign handled by Denton.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Not very many people know about it.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
But Daddy, the poor publicity was a waterspoot. No it wasn't.
Mister Conklin, he had lots of other duties.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
Yes, sir, he's been managing the basketball team for one thing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Just a minute.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
It's very nice of you all to defend me, but
I'd rather have this out with mister Conklin myself. Now
about that publicity campaign, mister.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Colin, what about the campaign?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Poor?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Thank you? What I want from you all now?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Suggestions to stimulate public interest in our auction and bring out.
Speaker 8 (02:18):
A big crowd of bidders, Well, perhaps we could take
some spot announcements on the radio.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yes, that would reach a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Miss Brooks, have you any idea what a thirty second
spot announcement costs?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
We don't have to buy thirty seconds. We could take
about five and say something quick like today auction Madison
High School. But Miss Brooks, that sounds differre auctioning off
the school is that bad? I mean, if the object
is just to lure people over it.
Speaker 9 (02:45):
Any feasible suggestions ideas, undoubtedly?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
How about you, Harriet? Can you think of anything?
Speaker 10 (02:56):
I think we should mimeograph some handbill and pass them
outdoor door during lunch periods. A lot of us could
take different neighborhoods and really plaster the town.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Excellent, Haariet.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Indeed, this town hasn't been plastered in years. What's your idea? Well?
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I was thinking maybe we could paint a big banner
and let it fly over.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
The business district all day.
Speaker 10 (03:19):
Fly over you mean trailing from a flag pole on
some big building.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
No trailing from a zeppelin.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh, I don't mean the big tig zeppelin. He means
the small compact zeppelin suitable for home or office.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Do you suppose you could inject a note of sanity
into this discussion?
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Well, I have thought.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Of a rather fascinating scheme, sir. It's quite humorous too.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Oh, let's have it.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Well, I've got about a dozen frogs in the laboratory. Now,
I keep them there for the purposes, so.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
We know what they're there for. Mister Boydan and I
tad breakfast.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
Well, my idea is to take them all into the
heart of the town. I'd have them on little leashes,
of course, and.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
You get this, mister Conklin.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
They'd be dragging a sign behind them the frogs.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Go on.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
Boy well, the sign the frogs would be dragging would say,
it'd say come to the medicine Jim.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Today.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Things will sure be hopping.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Mister Gornton, you have my permission to take your idea
and hop out of this room.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I really think the handbills will do the trick down.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
So do I Harry, Miss Brooks, do you concur frequently?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I'd like to discuss something now that we all seem
to have overlooked. Namely, if our auction to be a success,
we lack one fairly important item.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Something to auction off?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Very cogent observation, however, the members of the student body
were asked to bring their parents donations to school this
morning and leave them just outside the classrooms. You, miss Brooks,
will be in charge of augmenting these donations.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Me open, mister Conklin, I've got other things to Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Is there anything as important as raising money for children's playgrounds?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yes, sir, raising children for the playground. Can you hear that, mister?
When you've been ask quires Walter Colin, I wanted help
in this campaign. I'm going to I know we.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Might be able to get some more merchandise for the
auction for mister Jessip.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
He's a pretty good friend of my dad's.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Oh you mean Jay D Jessip, the big real estate man.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yes, sir, he's the biggest philanthropist in this part of
the country.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Contributes to everything and anything.
Speaker 11 (05:57):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
He's a national born sucker for worth while? Because and
do get in touch with mister sucker a Jess.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Now, mister Bordin, you will see to it that the
auction tables are set up in the gym, Yes you,
Miss Brooks, with the assistance of my daughter, will inspect
the merchandise outside the classrooms and jot down the approximate
value of each object prior to the auction.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
But mister Conklin, why do I have to go through
all that?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Because, in addition to obtaining more material for this affair.
I have also decided to put you in charge of
auctioning it off meetings adjourn. But sir, I said meetings ajourn,
Good day, Colley.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
That's quite an honor Dady conferred on you, Miss Brooks.
Just think your head, auctioneer. Yes, and we both know
whose head I'd like to auction off. First, Let's see what's.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
In this pile over here, miss brook Hm. One broken lamp,
one pretty beat up coffee pot. And look at this
an old mix master.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It looks as if somebody dropped it in the new
mix master. Not much of a hall so far, if
I better jot it all down anyway. And what's this?
A box of Christmas tree ornaments that's timely, one woolen sock,
a busted harmonica. And here's one ice skate. One ice skate.
(07:33):
That'll be for the fellow who gets the one sock. Oh,
here's an item that should bring in plenty, A rusty
door knob you a pair of torn woolen gloves. And
look at this, Harriet, one blue jay corn plaster. That's
for the fellow with the one sock and the ice skates. Oh,
(07:55):
we've got to do better than this.
Speaker 10 (07:57):
Daddy would have donated some things himself, miss Brooks that
he traded in all our old fra It sure for
the stuff that's going into our new house.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Oh that's right. You're moving soon, aren't you? Uh huh
late this afternoon.
Speaker 10 (08:07):
I'm sure daddy'll invite you over as soon as we're settled.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Your mother might, but not your daddy. He's been angry
with me all week, Harriet. That's why he's piling all
this extra work on me to get even get even
for what a slight accident that occurred in his office
on Monday. He asked me to cut the price tag
off a new umbrella he'd bought, and I took a
scissors and went after it. Unfortunately, my hand slipped and
(08:31):
I cut a nick in the material of the umbrella.
How big a nick?
Speaker 11 (08:35):
Two yards.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Everything.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Then he's been looking daggers at me, or at least
sharp umbrellas well. I've got to get into my next class, Harriet.
We'll have to continue this check up during study period, all.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
Rightness, brook And please don't take daddy's tantrents too seriously.
Just remember his bark is much worse than his bite.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And even more appropriate slogan would be let sleeping dogs lie.
Oh I'm sorry, Harriet, I didn't mean that the way
it sounds. I wouldn't for a minute want you to
think that I considered your father.
Speaker 11 (09:09):
Asleep on the truck dying.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Eve Arden will continue in just a moment, But first,

Speaker 3 (10:47):
What with rounding up additional donations for the charity bizarre
and doing a little teaching on the side, I had
quite a busy morning. When lunch period rolled around, I
was still in the collecting mood, so I decided to
have lunch with mister Gorton. A collector's item if I
ever saw one.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Here's a nice table by the window. Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh good, Now we can throw the food away without
any trouble.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
But it is as bad as it was. I think
the food's picked up.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I know they don't want you to step in it.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Wow, the jim's all set for the auction this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I'm glad you reminded me, mister Gorton. You know, some
of the donations are in pretty good shape. There may
be some real bargains on the block this afternoon.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Do you think so?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Absolutely? If somebody wanted to furnish a little love nest,
for instance, he could probably do it for next to nothing.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
I bet he could have best.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yes, sir, anybody with marriage on his mind could save
a pretty penny today get a real cozy apartment started.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
If I run into anybody contemplating such a step, I'll
certainly tell him about it.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Now I tried.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I could use a couple of things from my apartment
at that.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
When you inspected this stuff this morning, you didn't run
across a pair of.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
And irons, did you?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
As a matter of fact, I did. I don't know
who donated them, but they look almost brand new.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Gee, maybe I can pick them up reasonably at the auction.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Well, why wait, we can go look at them right
after lunch, and if you like them, we'll have a
one man auction and I'll see that you get them
for a fair price.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
But Miss Brooks, would that be fed at the general public?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh? Haven't you heard they've got and iron?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Have you seen stretched not grass anywhere? Harriet?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
No, Daddy, I haven't.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
I told that dummy to bring lunch to my office
twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 10 (12:42):
Please, Daddy, that's no way to talk about Madison's star athlete.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
He may be a star athlete, but it's his brains
that need the exercise.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Calm down, daddy.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
I'm going into the cafeteria now and i'll see what's
keeping him. Oh, before I go, daddy, I just booked
to mother on the phone, and she told me all
the living room furniture has been delivered to the new house.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
She says, she just.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Knows you're going to love it. Mother has such wonderful taste, don't.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
You think obviously she married me.
Speaker 10 (13:15):
Oh one more thing, Daddy, the storm made a mistake
and delivered our anne irons to the school here instead
of the new house.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
They're right outside your office.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Now what am I supposed to do with them?
Speaker 10 (13:25):
Bring them home with you after school. They're awfully pretty, Daddy.
Come on, take a look at them.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
There's nothing better to do while I'm waiting for that dunderhead.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Here they are, Aren't they pretty well?
Speaker 6 (13:38):
They're all right?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I guess mother paid twelve dollars for them.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Say they're pretty.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
I'd better get into the cafeteria. I'll stand stretching with
your lunch as soon as I find you.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
See you later, daddy, very well, Harriet, I'll be in
my office. Why everything has to happen all at once,
I'll never know? Olds.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
You know what are those and irons I saw this morning? Yes?
Those are them? These are those? Yep, them's the andirons?
Speaker 11 (14:19):
All.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
How do you like them?
Speaker 7 (14:26):
They're perfect, just what I had in mind.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Good, tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
What I'm gonna do them a little closer, Bud. One
of my offers for these.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Lovely and irons, how about fifty cents?
Speaker 8 (14:38):
This boy is.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Closer than I thought. I've got fifty? Do I hear more?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Not for me?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Why i'd give seventy five cents for these myself?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Well, i'll make it eighty.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Now you're talking. I got eighty cents eighty. I've got
going once for eighty, going twice for eighty.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I'll be that the spirit.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I've got eighty pots. Oh you're not in this the conflict.
I'm not, No, sir, mister Barton needs these andons, and
well I think eighty tents is a fair price.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Ooh, so why miss Brooks, considering that I just paid
twelve dollars for them?
Speaker 12 (15:12):
Twelve dollars.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
I'm terribly sorry, mister Cocklean. We didn't know they were yours.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
That's quite all right, Boynton, But just to be on
the safe side, I'll take them with me. I'd better
get back into my office before miss Brooks sells my socks.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
We just need one.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
I got your lunch. Well it's about times, Non Grass,
come with me.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I'm terribly sorry about the and there was so much
stuff in the I know, I know, put everything on
my desks, Non Drass.
Speaker 13 (15:44):
Yes, sir, here's your coffee. I just put sugar and
cream in it. And I'm sure just the way you
like it.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
I'm sure it is, except that I ordered team and lemon.
I'm sorry, mister Conklin, I'll change. Never mind was my sandworde?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Here?
Speaker 9 (15:59):
It is bacon, tomato and whole Wait, wasn't it?
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
It was stretch, and I suppose that's why you've brought
me peanut butter on bread.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
I must have got confused. You want me to take
it back? It's too late. Now I'll eat it. But
before you leave, I have another errand for you. You
could save me a lot of trouble if you would
take these and ions over to my new house. Your
address is six sixteen Anderson Avenue. Is that clear? Stretch. Yes, sir, you.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
Want me to take these up? Where are they again?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
And ions? Oh?
Speaker 13 (16:30):
Yeah, you want me to take these and ions over
to your new house at uh uh what was that
address again?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Six sixteen and the aon Avenue.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
It's very simple if you associate and ions with Anderson Avenue,
you see.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
Oh sure you want me to take these Anderson's.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Light out the.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Address for you there, I know, put it in your
pocket and don't.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Lose it, okay, mister Conklin. Oh by the way, it's
not dressed, missus kan. Then maybe out chopping or just
leave the and ions on the front port.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Yes, sir, hi a stretch.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Boy.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
What a deal I just made with mister Jessp. He's
a big philanthropist. Yes, he owns real estate all over
this town. And he just told me that one of
his houses is being torn down in a few days
to make room for the new freeway.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Well that's too bad, no it isn't.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Instead of selling the furniture in it to a second
hands to her, mister Jessp is donating get to our
charity bazaar.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
He said, we could help ourselves to anything we want.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Boy, that's good.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Now you gotta do me a favorite stretch.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
I have to get some lunch now, and I want
you to find miss Brooks and ask her to make
arrangements to have that furniture picked up. The address is
two eleven Ironside Avenue, con Ironside Avenue. Yeah, I wrote
it on this slip of paper here out. Put it
in your potet so you don't lose it the water.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I sure appreciate you're doing this for me.
Speaker 13 (17:53):
Stretch Where a minute, rus a boy's got everything mixed up.
Let's see mister Conklin's new addresses on this slip of paper.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Where is it? What was it?
Speaker 13 (18:06):
Mister Conklin said again, associate and Iron's Iron side.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
That's it.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
Sure, the and Irons go to two eleven Ironside Avenue
and we pick up the furniture at six sixteen Anderson.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
It was certainly generous of mister Jessop to donate a
house full of furniture.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Sure was.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Even if here's a big flint flint steady boy, I
hope we're near the place. It's three point fifteen and
the auction's supposed to start at four. Besides, I've ordered
the moving vans at three point thirty well it's.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Only another couple of blocks.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
Well, I'm sorry I was late picking up Miss Brooks.
Speaker 13 (18:45):
Flat drops some androons off at mister Conklin's new house.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I know them well, I almost sold them to mister Blindon.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Well this is the place six sixteen Anderson Avenue.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Say, that's a rather pretty house. It's a shame they
have to tear it down make room for the freeway.
Speaker 9 (19:03):
Come on, miss Brooks, let's go and pick out the
furniture and once.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
For the auction.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
All right, Stretch, have you got a key to the place.
Speaker 13 (19:09):
Well, I didn't say nothing about no key, but i'll
get this in all right. I'll just kick in a window.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
But Stretch, you can't do that.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
We're not places being torn down anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Well I know, but what'd.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
You say, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I was just making conversations.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Well, this window's too small.
Speaker 13 (19:27):
I can't reach the torn up Wait, because a French
window over here.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
This one's on me. I've got French heels on.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
Let me help you.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
You know something, Stretch, One more kick and the freeway
can go through here without moving.
Speaker 12 (19:43):
The house, going once, going twice.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Go to the gentleman in the dirty b for a
dollar seventy five, and now folks will have a brief intermission.
Why are you doing, Amice Brooks? You still got a
whole bunch of furnitured auction on. I'm just stalling, Walter.
I'm hoping some bigger spenders will drop in.
Speaker 14 (20:10):
I think it's a shame to let a beautiful rug
like that last one go for a dollar seventy five.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Me too, Missus Davis, and I hated to sell that
lovely piano from nineteen fifty. I'll just have to get
higher bids on the remaining items, o, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yes, mister Bardon, what would I have to offer you
on that red plush love seat?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Just a little encouragement, you mean, Moneage tell it hard
to tell, mister Bardon.
Speaker 14 (20:44):
I have an idea how we can get higher prices. Colly,
Why don't I act as sort of a shield a shoe? Yes,
I learned that word from my brother Victor when I
was a little girl. He was into theatrical business.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You know, Yes, I know, Missus Davis.
Speaker 14 (20:59):
During intermission he always used to sell me the first
box of cretoget with a wristwatch in it. What I'll
do is just extinulate the bigging a little.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well, it is for a good cause, everybody, I trust.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
The money is pouring into the till.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Frankly, mister Carchlin, it's just drizzling in. I'm waiting for
Harriet's hands to show a little better result. Have a
seat and make yourself at home, won't you?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Oh that should be easy, Miss Brooks. As I look
at this furniture about me, I feel as if I
am at home. Take that lamp, for example, it's almost
an exact duplicate of one my wife bought last week
past over forty dollars.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
What did that one go for?
Speaker 11 (21:39):
My ass?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Seven and a half.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Half? That is a bargain, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Now? Then, inasmuch as this project is so close to
my heart, I think I should participate.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I'll take that red plush love seat, for example. It
would be a perfect match for one I have at home.
Made one hundred and fifty dollars for it. Put it
up rouction right now, Miss Brookes.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Mister Conklin, this is intermission.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Well, just for our little group. Those others seem quite
lethargic anyway.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
And it's supposed to be a public auction.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Mister Conklin, well, we're the public con Missus Davis Denton,
mister Boynton, that'll be plenty.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
And how much money do you have? Denton? Two dollars?
Oh fine, fine, how much have you got, mister Boynton?
About forty five dollars?
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Somebody died?
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Well, let's begin, miss Brooks, and put up the love seat. Now,
I'll start the bidding. I bid three.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Dollars already, I'm shut out of the bidding.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
I kind of had my eye on that too.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
I'll offer five dollars going going, ten.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Dollars, fifteen going, twenty five, thirty five, forty forty five,
forty six.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I've been forty seven dollars.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Wait a minute, how can you bid forty seven dollars?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Two bucks? Mister Boynt? And not doing me any good.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
I'll put an end of this bidding right now. I
bid fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yes, sir, I'm bid fifty dollars for this lovely red
plush love seat going once going five fifty five.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Where did that come from?
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Oh, missus Davis, Well, if you bid fifty five, I
guess I'll have to bid fifty five, seventy five, eighty five.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I've got eighty five going once, going twice. Last chance,
let's have another bid, or this gentleman gets it for
eighty five going going, Remember, folks, in addition to this
beautiful love seed, I'm throwing in absolutely free a box
of cracker jacks.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
I bid one hundred dollars, and that's my final offer,
one hundred and ten.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I did one hundred and ten dollars, going going, Oh, come, come,
I'll have to sell it to missus Davis unless I
get a higher bid, going going one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
You can't do that, Missus Davis. You're bidding against yourself.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Oh what's the difference. I'm jest a shield?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
What I demand that we revert back to my last
bid of one hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
By let's see what else have we here?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Oh, there's quite a bit of stuff thanks to mister
Jessop's generosity. Why we practically cleaned out that house of
his at six sixteen Anderson Avenue.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Well, Jessop has the true American spirit, the spirit of
benevolence and charity, so prevalent and throughout this glorious nation,
from the rock bound coast of Maine to the sunny
shores of six sixteen.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I know you're patriotic, but I've never seen your face
turn red, white and blue before.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Miss Brooks. How did you get into that house?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Oh? It was easy, Stretched Snodgrass. And now I just

Speaker 2 (00:20):
It's time once again for another comedy episode of Our.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Miss Brooks, written by al Lewis Well. With spring upon us.
Bigger and better playgrounds for children are the order of
the day. Madison High School, where our Miss Brooks teaches English,
promptly volunteered to help its local Chamber of Commerce collect
funds for this worthy cause.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
That's why our beloved principle, our good Conklin called us
into his office early Friday morning. Us consisted of mister
Boynton and myself as faculty advisers, Walter Denton, the student
who runs the school paper, and Harriet Conklin, the student
who runs Walter Denton. As soon as we were all seated,
mister Conklin addressed us.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
We are here to discuss a project which is near
and dear to my heart, children's playgrounds in this community.
I'm sure I cannot overemphasize the importance of the little
ones in our present day civilization.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We got enough little.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
Ones what the Chamber of Commerce wands to some big playgrounds.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
If that was intended as a witticism Denton, it missed
the mark.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I don't know. I thought it had a certain que.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
To help raise money for this worthy project.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
We are holding a charity auction in our gym at
four o'clock this afternoon. However, due to a very poor
publicity campaign handled by Denton.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Not very many people know about it.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
But Daddy, the poor publicity was a waterspoot. No it wasn't.
Mister Conklin, he had lots of other duties.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
Yes, sir, he's been managing the basketball team for one thing.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Just a minute.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
It's very nice of you all to defend me, but
I'd rather have this out with mister Conklin myself. Now
about that publicity campaign, mister.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Colin, what about the campaign?
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Poor?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Thank you? What I want from you all now?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Suggestions to stimulate public interest in our auction and bring out.
Speaker 8 (02:18):
A big crowd of bidders, Well, perhaps we could take
some spot announcements on the radio.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yes, that would reach a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Miss Brooks, have you any idea what a thirty second
spot announcement costs?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
We don't have to buy thirty seconds. We could take
about five and say something quick like today auction Madison
High School. But Miss Brooks, that sounds differre auctioning off
the school is that bad? I mean, if the object
is just to lure people over it.
Speaker 9 (02:45):
Any feasible suggestions ideas, undoubtedly?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
How about you, Harriet? Can you think of anything?
Speaker 10 (02:56):
I think we should mimeograph some handbill and pass them
outdoor door during lunch periods. A lot of us could
take different neighborhoods and really plaster the town.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Excellent, Haariet.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Indeed, this town hasn't been plastered in years. What's your idea? Well?
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I was thinking maybe we could paint a big banner
and let it fly over.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
The business district all day.
Speaker 10 (03:19):
Fly over you mean trailing from a flag pole on
some big building.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
No trailing from a zeppelin.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh, I don't mean the big tig zeppelin. He means
the small compact zeppelin suitable for home or office.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
Do you suppose you could inject a note of sanity
into this discussion?
Speaker 6 (03:41):
Well, I have thought.
Speaker 7 (03:43):
Of a rather fascinating scheme, sir. It's quite humorous too.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Oh, let's have it.
Speaker 7 (03:53):
Well, I've got about a dozen frogs in the laboratory. Now,
I keep them there for the purposes, so.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
We know what they're there for. Mister Boydan and I
tad breakfast.
Speaker 7 (04:03):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 8 (04:04):
Well, my idea is to take them all into the
heart of the town. I'd have them on little leashes,
of course, and.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
You get this, mister Conklin.
Speaker 8 (04:13):
They'd be dragging a sign behind them the frogs.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
Go on.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
Boy well, the sign the frogs would be dragging would say,
it'd say come to the medicine Jim.
Speaker 6 (04:31):
Today.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Things will sure be hopping.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Mister Gornton, you have my permission to take your idea
and hop out of this room.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I really think the handbills will do the trick down.
Speaker 6 (04:49):
So do I Harry, Miss Brooks, do you concur frequently?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I'd like to discuss something now that we all seem
to have overlooked. Namely, if our auction to be a success,
we lack one fairly important item.
Speaker 6 (05:03):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Something to auction off?
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Very cogent observation, however, the members of the student body
were asked to bring their parents donations to school this
morning and leave them just outside the classrooms. You, miss Brooks,
will be in charge of augmenting these donations.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Me open, mister Conklin, I've got other things to Miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
Is there anything as important as raising money for children's playgrounds?
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Yes, sir, raising children for the playground. Can you hear that, mister?
When you've been ask quires Walter Colin, I wanted help
in this campaign. I'm going to I know we.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
Might be able to get some more merchandise for the
auction for mister Jessip.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
He's a pretty good friend of my dad's.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Oh you mean Jay D Jessip, the big real estate man.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Yes, sir, he's the biggest philanthropist in this part of
the country.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Contributes to everything and anything.
Speaker 11 (05:57):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
He's a national born sucker for worth while? Because and
do get in touch with mister sucker a Jess.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Now, mister Bordin, you will see to it that the
auction tables are set up in the gym, Yes you,
Miss Brooks, with the assistance of my daughter, will inspect
the merchandise outside the classrooms and jot down the approximate
value of each object prior to the auction.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
But mister Conklin, why do I have to go through
all that?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Because, in addition to obtaining more material for this affair.
I have also decided to put you in charge of
auctioning it off meetings adjourn. But sir, I said meetings ajourn,
Good day, Colley.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
That's quite an honor Dady conferred on you, Miss Brooks.
Just think your head, auctioneer. Yes, and we both know
whose head I'd like to auction off. First, Let's see what's.
Speaker 10 (07:01):
In this pile over here, miss brook Hm. One broken lamp,
one pretty beat up coffee pot. And look at this
an old mix master.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
It looks as if somebody dropped it in the new
mix master. Not much of a hall so far, if
I better jot it all down anyway. And what's this?
A box of Christmas tree ornaments that's timely, one woolen sock,
a busted harmonica. And here's one ice skate. One ice skate.
(07:33):
That'll be for the fellow who gets the one sock. Oh,
here's an item that should bring in plenty, A rusty
door knob you a pair of torn woolen gloves. And
look at this, Harriet, one blue jay corn plaster. That's
for the fellow with the one sock and the ice skates. Oh,
(07:55):
we've got to do better than this.
Speaker 10 (07:57):
Daddy would have donated some things himself, miss Brooks that
he traded in all our old fra It sure for
the stuff that's going into our new house.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Oh that's right. You're moving soon, aren't you? Uh huh
late this afternoon.
Speaker 10 (08:07):
I'm sure daddy'll invite you over as soon as we're settled.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Your mother might, but not your daddy. He's been angry
with me all week, Harriet. That's why he's piling all
this extra work on me to get even get even
for what a slight accident that occurred in his office
on Monday. He asked me to cut the price tag
off a new umbrella he'd bought, and I took a
scissors and went after it. Unfortunately, my hand slipped and
(08:31):
I cut a nick in the material of the umbrella.
How big a nick?
Speaker 11 (08:35):
Two yards.
Speaker 6 (08:40):
Everything.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Then he's been looking daggers at me, or at least
sharp umbrellas well. I've got to get into my next class, Harriet.
We'll have to continue this check up during study period, all.
Speaker 10 (08:50):
Rightness, brook And please don't take daddy's tantrents too seriously.
Just remember his bark is much worse than his bite.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
And even more appropriate slogan would be let sleeping dogs lie.
Oh I'm sorry, Harriet, I didn't mean that the way
it sounds. I wouldn't for a minute want you to
think that I considered your father.
Speaker 11 (09:09):
Asleep on the truck dying.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Eve Arden will continue in just a moment, But first,
here is Burne Smith.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
What with rounding up additional donations for the charity bizarre
and doing a little teaching on the side, I had
quite a busy morning. When lunch period rolled around, I
was still in the collecting mood, so I decided to
have lunch with mister Gorton. A collector's item if I
ever saw one.
Speaker 7 (11:07):
Here's a nice table by the window. Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh good, Now we can throw the food away without
any trouble.
Speaker 7 (11:13):
But it is as bad as it was. I think
the food's picked up.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I know they don't want you to step in it.
Speaker 7 (11:21):
Wow, the jim's all set for the auction this afternoon.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I'm glad you reminded me, mister Gorton. You know, some
of the donations are in pretty good shape. There may
be some real bargains on the block this afternoon.
Speaker 7 (11:32):
Do you think so?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Absolutely? If somebody wanted to furnish a little love nest,
for instance, he could probably do it for next to nothing.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
I bet he could have best.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yes, sir, anybody with marriage on his mind could save
a pretty penny today get a real cozy apartment started.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
If I run into anybody contemplating such a step, I'll
certainly tell him about it.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Now I tried.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
I could use a couple of things from my apartment
at that.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
When you inspected this stuff this morning, you didn't run
across a pair of.
Speaker 7 (12:05):
And irons, did you?
Speaker 3 (12:06):
As a matter of fact, I did. I don't know
who donated them, but they look almost brand new.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Gee, maybe I can pick them up reasonably at the auction.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Well, why wait, we can go look at them right
after lunch, and if you like them, we'll have a
one man auction and I'll see that you get them
for a fair price.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
But Miss Brooks, would that be fed at the general public?
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Oh? Haven't you heard they've got and iron?
Speaker 6 (12:35):
Have you seen stretched not grass anywhere? Harriet?
Speaker 3 (12:38):
No, Daddy, I haven't.
Speaker 4 (12:39):
I told that dummy to bring lunch to my office
twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 10 (12:42):
Please, Daddy, that's no way to talk about Madison's star athlete.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
He may be a star athlete, but it's his brains
that need the exercise.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Calm down, daddy.
Speaker 10 (12:53):
I'm going into the cafeteria now and i'll see what's
keeping him. Oh, before I go, daddy, I just booked
to mother on the phone, and she told me all
the living room furniture has been delivered to the new house.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
She says, she just.
Speaker 10 (13:05):
Knows you're going to love it. Mother has such wonderful taste, don't.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
You think obviously she married me.
Speaker 10 (13:15):
Oh one more thing, Daddy, the storm made a mistake
and delivered our anne irons to the school here instead
of the new house.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
They're right outside your office.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Now what am I supposed to do with them?
Speaker 10 (13:25):
Bring them home with you after school. They're awfully pretty, Daddy.
Come on, take a look at them.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
There's nothing better to do while I'm waiting for that dunderhead.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Here they are, Aren't they pretty well?
Speaker 6 (13:38):
They're all right?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
I guess mother paid twelve dollars for them.
Speaker 6 (13:42):
Say they're pretty.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
Well.
Speaker 10 (13:52):
I'd better get into the cafeteria. I'll stand stretching with
your lunch as soon as I find you.
Speaker 6 (13:57):
See you later, daddy, very well, Harriet, I'll be in
my office. Why everything has to happen all at once,
I'll never know? Olds.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
You know what are those and irons I saw this morning? Yes?
Those are them? These are those? Yep, them's the andirons?
Speaker 11 (14:19):
All.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
How do you like them?
Speaker 7 (14:26):
They're perfect, just what I had in mind.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Good, tell you.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
What I'm gonna do them a little closer, Bud. One
of my offers for these.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Lovely and irons, how about fifty cents?
Speaker 8 (14:38):
This boy is.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Closer than I thought. I've got fifty? Do I hear more?
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Not for me?
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Why i'd give seventy five cents for these myself?
Speaker 7 (14:47):
Well, i'll make it eighty.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Now you're talking. I got eighty cents eighty. I've got
going once for eighty, going twice for eighty.
Speaker 6 (14:53):
I'll be that the spirit.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
I've got eighty pots. Oh you're not in this the conflict.
I'm not, No, sir, mister Barton needs these andons, and
well I think eighty tents is a fair price.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Ooh, so why miss Brooks, considering that I just paid
twelve dollars for them?
Speaker 12 (15:12):
Twelve dollars.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
I'm terribly sorry, mister Cocklean. We didn't know they were yours.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
That's quite all right, Boynton, But just to be on
the safe side, I'll take them with me. I'd better
get back into my office before miss Brooks sells my socks.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
We just need one.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
I got your lunch. Well it's about times, Non Grass,
come with me.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
I'm terribly sorry about the and there was so much
stuff in the I know, I know, put everything on
my desks, Non Drass.
Speaker 13 (15:44):
Yes, sir, here's your coffee. I just put sugar and
cream in it. And I'm sure just the way you
like it.
Speaker 6 (15:49):
I'm sure it is, except that I ordered team and lemon.
I'm sorry, mister Conklin, I'll change. Never mind was my sandworde?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Here?
Speaker 9 (15:59):
It is bacon, tomato and whole Wait, wasn't it?
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (16:01):
It was stretch, and I suppose that's why you've brought
me peanut butter on bread.
Speaker 6 (16:09):
I must have got confused. You want me to take
it back? It's too late. Now I'll eat it. But
before you leave, I have another errand for you. You
could save me a lot of trouble if you would
take these and ions over to my new house. Your
address is six sixteen Anderson Avenue. Is that clear? Stretch. Yes, sir, you.
Speaker 9 (16:25):
Want me to take these up? Where are they again?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
And ions? Oh?
Speaker 13 (16:30):
Yeah, you want me to take these and ions over
to your new house at uh uh what was that
address again?
Speaker 6 (16:38):
Six sixteen and the aon Avenue.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
It's very simple if you associate and ions with Anderson Avenue,
you see.
Speaker 9 (16:45):
Oh sure you want me to take these Anderson's.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Light out the.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Address for you there, I know, put it in your
pocket and don't.
Speaker 6 (16:55):
Lose it, okay, mister Conklin. Oh by the way, it's
not dressed, missus kan. Then maybe out chopping or just
leave the and ions on the front port.
Speaker 7 (17:03):
Yes, sir, hi a stretch.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Boy.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
What a deal I just made with mister Jessp. He's
a big philanthropist. Yes, he owns real estate all over
this town. And he just told me that one of
his houses is being torn down in a few days
to make room for the new freeway.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Well that's too bad, no it isn't.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Instead of selling the furniture in it to a second
hands to her, mister Jessp is donating get to our
charity bazaar.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
He said, we could help ourselves to anything we want.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Boy, that's good.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Now you gotta do me a favorite stretch.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
I have to get some lunch now, and I want
you to find miss Brooks and ask her to make
arrangements to have that furniture picked up. The address is
two eleven Ironside Avenue, con Ironside Avenue. Yeah, I wrote
it on this slip of paper here out. Put it
in your potet so you don't lose it the water.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I sure appreciate you're doing this for me.
Speaker 13 (17:53):
Stretch Where a minute, rus a boy's got everything mixed up.
Let's see mister Conklin's new addresses on this slip of paper.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Where is it? What was it?
Speaker 13 (18:06):
Mister Conklin said again, associate and Iron's Iron side.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
That's it.
Speaker 9 (18:11):
Sure, the and Irons go to two eleven Ironside Avenue
and we pick up the furniture at six sixteen Anderson.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
It was certainly generous of mister Jessop to donate a
house full of furniture.
Speaker 6 (18:29):
Sure was.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Even if here's a big flint flint steady boy, I
hope we're near the place. It's three point fifteen and
the auction's supposed to start at four. Besides, I've ordered
the moving vans at three point thirty well it's.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Only another couple of blocks.
Speaker 9 (18:43):
Well, I'm sorry I was late picking up Miss Brooks.
Speaker 13 (18:45):
Flat drops some androons off at mister Conklin's new house.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
I know them well, I almost sold them to mister Blindon.
Speaker 9 (18:54):
Well this is the place six sixteen Anderson Avenue.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
Say, that's a rather pretty house. It's a shame they
have to tear it down make room for the freeway.
Speaker 9 (19:03):
Come on, miss Brooks, let's go and pick out the
furniture and once.
Speaker 6 (19:05):
For the auction.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
All right, Stretch, have you got a key to the place.
Speaker 13 (19:09):
Well, I didn't say nothing about no key, but i'll
get this in all right. I'll just kick in a window.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
But Stretch, you can't do that.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
We're not places being torn down anyway.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Well I know, but what'd.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
You say, Miss Brooks.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
I was just making conversations.
Speaker 6 (19:26):
Well, this window's too small.
Speaker 13 (19:27):
I can't reach the torn up Wait, because a French
window over here.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
This one's on me. I've got French heels on.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
Let me help you.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
You know something, Stretch, One more kick and the freeway
can go through here without moving.
Speaker 12 (19:43):
The house, going once, going twice.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
Go to the gentleman in the dirty b for a
dollar seventy five, and now folks will have a brief intermission.
Why are you doing, Amice Brooks? You still got a
whole bunch of furnitured auction on. I'm just stalling, Walter.
I'm hoping some bigger spenders will drop in.
Speaker 14 (20:10):
I think it's a shame to let a beautiful rug
like that last one go for a dollar seventy five.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Me too, Missus Davis, and I hated to sell that
lovely piano from nineteen fifty. I'll just have to get
higher bids on the remaining items, o, miss Brooks.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Yes, mister Bardon, what would I have to offer you
on that red plush love seat?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Just a little encouragement, you mean, Moneage tell it hard
to tell, mister Bardon.
Speaker 14 (20:44):
I have an idea how we can get higher prices. Colly,
Why don't I act as sort of a shield a shoe? Yes,
I learned that word from my brother Victor when I
was a little girl. He was into theatrical business.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You know, Yes, I know, Missus Davis.
Speaker 14 (20:59):
During intermission he always used to sell me the first
box of cretoget with a wristwatch in it. What I'll
do is just extinulate the bigging a little.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Well, it is for a good cause, everybody, I trust.
Speaker 6 (21:12):
The money is pouring into the till.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Frankly, mister Carchlin, it's just drizzling in. I'm waiting for
Harriet's hands to show a little better result. Have a
seat and make yourself at home, won't you?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Oh that should be easy, Miss Brooks. As I look
at this furniture about me, I feel as if I
am at home. Take that lamp, for example, it's almost
an exact duplicate of one my wife bought last week
past over forty dollars.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
What did that one go for?
Speaker 11 (21:39):
My ass?
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Seven and a half.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Half? That is a bargain, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Now? Then, inasmuch as this project is so close to
my heart, I think I should participate.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
I'll take that red plush love seat, for example. It
would be a perfect match for one I have at home.
Made one hundred and fifty dollars for it. Put it
up rouction right now, Miss Brookes.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Mister Conklin, this is intermission.
Speaker 6 (22:05):
Well, just for our little group. Those others seem quite
lethargic anyway.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
And it's supposed to be a public auction.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Mister Conklin, well, we're the public con Missus Davis Denton,
mister Boynton, that'll be plenty.
Speaker 6 (22:16):
And how much money do you have? Denton? Two dollars?
Oh fine, fine, how much have you got, mister Boynton?
About forty five dollars?
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Somebody died?
Speaker 6 (22:31):
Well, let's begin, miss Brooks, and put up the love seat. Now,
I'll start the bidding. I bid three.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Dollars already, I'm shut out of the bidding.
Speaker 7 (22:41):
I kind of had my eye on that too.
Speaker 6 (22:42):
I'll offer five dollars going going, ten.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Dollars, fifteen going, twenty five, thirty five, forty forty five,
forty six.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I've been forty seven dollars.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Wait a minute, how can you bid forty seven dollars?
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Two bucks? Mister Boynt? And not doing me any good.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
I'll put an end of this bidding right now. I
bid fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Yes, sir, I'm bid fifty dollars for this lovely red
plush love seat going once going five fifty five.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
Where did that come from?
Speaker 8 (23:18):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Oh, missus Davis, Well, if you bid fifty five, I
guess I'll have to bid fifty five, seventy five, eighty five.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
I've got eighty five going once, going twice. Last chance,
let's have another bid, or this gentleman gets it for
eighty five going going, Remember, folks, in addition to this
beautiful love seed, I'm throwing in absolutely free a box
of cracker jacks.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
I bid one hundred dollars, and that's my final offer,
one hundred and ten.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I did one hundred and ten dollars, going going, Oh, come, come,
I'll have to sell it to missus Davis unless I
get a higher bid, going going one hundred and fifty.
Speaker 6 (24:03):
You can't do that, Missus Davis. You're bidding against yourself.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Oh what's the difference. I'm jest a shield?
Speaker 4 (24:17):
What I demand that we revert back to my last
bid of one hundred dollars.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
By let's see what else have we here?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Oh, there's quite a bit of stuff thanks to mister
Jessop's generosity. Why we practically cleaned out that house of
his at six sixteen Anderson Avenue.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Well, Jessop has the true American spirit, the spirit of
benevolence and charity, so prevalent and throughout this glorious nation,
from the rock bound coast of Maine to the sunny
shores of six sixteen.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
I know you're patriotic, but I've never seen your face
turn red, white and blue before.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Miss Brooks. How did you get into that house?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Oh? It was easy, Stretched Snodgrass. And now I just
kicked in a few windows, did you know?
Speaker 6 (25:22):
Well, I.
Speaker 9 (25:24):
Gotta talk you right away from Brooks.

Oh, couldn't it wait, Stretch, I'm rather busy at the moment, But.
Speaker 9 (25:28):
I just saw Harriet Conklan.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
I thought out. We made a little mistake.
Speaker 9 (25:31):
That wasn't mister Jessup's house. We took the furniture out
of it wasn't And whose house was it?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
Shall we dance?
