Speaker 3 (00:39):
Carlow, what's this great electing system of yours?

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
You mean the auto light electrical system that's designed to
work as a perfect team. The generator's starting motor, distributor
in coil, spark, plugs, battery, and all the other units
are related by auto light engineering design and manufacturing skill
to give you the smoothest performance money can buy. Can
it get me, Reelected Senator? With an auto light electrical system,

(01:02):
you just can't lose. It starts the instant you turn
the starting switch and works every second your engine runs.
It works too, every time you blow the horn, turn
on lights, radio heater, or electric windshield wipers.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Sound mighty important.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
It's yours and that's why it pays to treat the
electrical system of your car to a periodic checkup at
your car dealer or your nearest authorized auto light service station.
To locate him, look in the classified section of the
phone book under Automobile Electrical Service, or call Western Union
by number and ask for operator twenty five. And remember,
from bumper to tail light, you're always right with auto light.

(01:40):
And now Autolite Presents transcribe Part one of William Shakespeare's Othello,

Speaker 8 (05:48):
The Duke in council, and this time of the night

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Scene three, a council chamber, the Duke and Senator sitting
at a table with lights.

Speaker 11 (06:13):
Variant. O, Hello, we must straight employ you against the
general enemy. Utterman, I did not see you. Welcome Sino Brabantio.
We lect your counsel and your help tonight. So did
I your good, your grace, pardon me. Neither my place
nor aught I heard of business has raised me from
my bed or my particular grief is of so floodgate

(06:35):
and all bearing nature that it then gluts and.

Speaker 8 (06:38):
Swallows other sorrows.

Speaker 11 (06:40):
What's the matter my daughter, Oh, my daughter dead?

Speaker 8 (06:44):
I to me, he's a pew stolen from me and
corrupted by spells and medicines, bought a mountepex.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Here is the man, this moore.

Speaker 8 (06:52):
Whom now had seemed your special mandate or the state
affairs has hit a brought a fellow.

Speaker 11 (06:58):
What in your own part can you say to that?

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I do beseech you send for the lady and let
her speak of me before her father. If you do
find me foul in her report, let your sentence even
fall upon my.

Speaker 11 (07:09):
Life reach dej d'aemona.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Hither I go conduct them. You best know the place,
and till she come, as truly as to heaven, I'll
present how I did thrive in this fair lady's love,
and she and mine say it o little. Her father
loved me, oft invited me, still questioned me the story
of my life from year to year I ran it through.

(07:30):
I spoke of most disastrous chances, of moving accidents by
flood and field, of being taken by the insolent foe
and sold to slavery, and my redemption. This this to hear,
would Desdemona seriously incline and with a greedy ear, devour
up my discourse. When I did speak of some distressful

(07:51):
stroke that my youth suffered, my story being done, she
gave me for my pains a world of size, she swore,
And faith was strange, twas passing, strange, twas pitiful, twas wondrous, pitiful.
She wished she had not heard it yet, she wished
that Heaven had made her such a man. She thanked
me and bade me, if I had a friend that

(08:11):
loved her, I should but teach him how to tell
my story, and that would woo her. Upon this hint
I spoke. She loved me for the dangers I had passed,
and I loved her that she did pity them. This
only is the witchcraft I have used. Here comes the lady,

(08:33):
Let her witness him.

Speaker 8 (08:35):
Come hither, gentle mistress. Do you perceive in all this
noble company? Well, most you o obedience.

Speaker 12 (08:45):
My noble father. I do perceive here a divided duty
to you. I am bound for life and education. My
life and education both do learn me how to respect you.
But here's my husband, and so much duty. As my
mother showed you, preferring you before her father, so much

(09:07):
I challenge that I may profess.

Speaker 2 (09:09):
You to the moor.

Speaker 8 (09:10):
My lord, come hither more. I here do give you
that with all my heart, I won't keep from you
for your sake, Toll, I am glad at soul, I
have no other child. I have done my love.

Speaker 11 (09:27):
We seek you now to live hairs estate the Turk,
with most mighty preparation makes for Cyprus, Othello. The fortitude
of the place is best known to you. And though
we have there Montano a substitute of most a loud sufficiency.
Yet opinion, the Sovereign Mistress of Effects throws a more
safer voice on you.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I do undertake these present wars against the Ates.

Speaker 11 (09:48):
At ten in the morning, here will meet again, Othello.
Leave some officer behind, and he shall our commission bring to.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
You, please your grace, my anst inn Iago a man,
he is of honesty and trust to his conveyance. I
assign my wife with what else need for your good grace,
shall think to be sent after me.

Speaker 11 (10:04):
Let it be shown good night to everyone, and you
a brave more use Desdemona will look to her more.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
Have a quick eye to see she has deceived her father.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
May to thee my life upon her faith.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Come, Desdemona, I have but an hour of love, of
worldly matters and direction to spend with THEE. We must
obey the time.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
What sayest thou, Rodrigo, What will I do? Why go
to bed and sleep?

Speaker 3 (10:41):
I will incontinently drown myself.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
If you do, I shall never love THEE. After Why thou,
silly gentlemen.

Speaker 3 (10:48):
What should I do? I confess it is my shame
to be so fond of her, But it is not
in my virtue to amend it.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Virtue of fee tis in ourselves that we had thus
or thus our bodies are gardens to which our wills
are gardeners. Come be a man, drown myself, drown cats
and blind puppies.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Put money in diapers.

Speaker 5 (11:11):
It cannot be that Desdemona should long continue her love
unto the moor put money in diapers, nor he to her.
It was a violent commencement, and you shall see an
answerable sequestration.

Speaker 6 (11:21):
Put but money in diapers. These moors are changeable in
their wills.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
She must change for youth. She will find the error
of her choice. She must have change.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
She must.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
If you must damn yourself, do it a more delicate
way than drowning. Make all the money you can you
shall enjoy.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Will you be fast to my hopes?

Speaker 6 (11:45):
You are sure of me? Go make money.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
I have told THEE often, and I tell THEE again
and again. I hate the more ad I'll be way betimes.
Thus do I ever make my fool my purse? I

(12:09):
hate the more? Let me see now Cassio's a proper
man to get his place and to make up my
will a double knavery.

Speaker 9 (12:20):
How how.

Speaker 5 (12:23):
I have to some time to abuse a fellow's ear
that his lieutenant Cassio is too familiar with his wife.
Cassio had a person and a smooth disposed to be suspected.
The more is of a free and open nature that
thinks men honest, but seem to be so, and will
as tenderly be led by the nose as asses are.

Speaker 9 (12:46):
I have it.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
It is engendered Hell and Knight must bring this monstrous
birth to the world's light.

Speaker 2 (13:08):
Auto Light is bringing you Richard with Mark Kathy Lewis
and Elliot Lewis in part one of William Shakespeare's Othello
Tonight's presentation in Radio's Outstanding Theater of Thrills Suspense, There Harlow,

(13:32):
how long has Auto Light been making electrical system ever
since nineteen eleven Senator, when Auto Light developed the first
two unit six fold automotive electrical system ever used as
original equipment. That was the granddaddy of today's complete and
precision made system, which includes generators, starting motor distributor and
coil spark plugs, battery voltage regulator and their thousands of

(13:55):
component parts.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
All working together perfectly.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Hello right, and you'll get it's wonderful and economical operation
you expect because it's an autolite electrical system. That means
that every unit and component part is related by Auto
Light engineering design and manufacturing skill to give you the
smoothest performance money can buy.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
Sounds convincing, Wilcock.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
Shall friends, be sure to specify Auto Light original service
parts for your Auto Light equipped car, and remember, from
bumper to tail light, you're always right with Auto Light.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
And now Auto Light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage
Richard with Mark Kathy Lewis and Elliot Lewis in mister
Lewis's production of William Shakespeare's Othellow, a tale well calculated
to keep you in suspense. Back two, scene one. A

(14:57):
month later, a seaport in Cyprus. The wars are over.
Othello's sail has been sighted. Enter Cassio, Iago, Roderigo and Desdemona.
The Moor's lieutenant pays innocent compliment to Desdemona. As Iago
and the jealous Rodorigo stand apart.

Speaker 6 (15:21):
He takes her by the palm. I well send whisper.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
With as little a web as this will, I ensnare
as great a fly as Cassio. I smile upon her do.

Speaker 6 (15:35):
I will catch you in your own courtesies, good well kissed,
an excellent courtesy. It is so indeed, Yet again.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
Your fingers to your lips, would they were cliss their
pipes for your's sake. The more I know his trumpet
is truly, so meet him and receive him, Oh, my
fell warrior.

Speaker 12 (16:05):
My dear Othello.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
It gives me wonder great has my content to see
you here before me? If it were now to die,
tw are now to be most happy, for I fear
my soul has her content so absolute that not another
comfort like to this succeeds. In unknown faith, the.

Speaker 12 (16:26):
Heavens forbid, but that our loves and comfort should increase
even as our days do grow.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Amen to that sweet powers I cannot speak enough.

Speaker 11 (16:34):
Of this content.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
It stops me here.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
It is too much of.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Joy in this. In this, the greatest discords be that
ere our hearts shall make.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
I prithee good.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
I'll go go to the bay and disembark my coffers.
Come Cassio, come Desdemona, once more, well met at Cyprus.

Speaker 5 (16:57):
I will tell you this, good Radorrico Desdemona is directly
in love with Cassio.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
With him, why it is not possible.

Speaker 6 (17:06):
Mark me with what violence?

Speaker 5 (17:07):
She first loved the more but for bragging and telling
her fantastical lies?

Speaker 6 (17:12):
And will she love him still for prating?

Speaker 5 (17:14):
Let not thy discreet heart think so her eye must
be fed, and what delight shall she have to look
on the devil? Her delicate tenderness will find itself abused
and compel her to some second choice. Now, sir, this granted,
who stands so eminently in the degree of this fortune

(17:34):
as Cassio does.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
I cannot believe that in her she's full of the
most blessed condition.

Speaker 5 (17:39):
Blessed figs and Diet's not see her paddle with a
palm of Cassio's hand.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
It's not mark that, yes, but that was but courtesy.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
Misery by this hand, an index, an obscure prolog to
the history of lust and foul thoughts. They met so
near with their lips that their breaths embraced together.

Speaker 11 (17:59):
But sir, what you tonight?

Speaker 5 (18:01):
Cassio knows you not. I'll not be far from you.
Do you find some occasion to anger Cassio, provoke him
that he may strike you, or even out of that,
will I cause these of Cyprus to mutiny, whose qualification
shall come into no true trust again? But by the
displanting of Cassio. So shall you have a shorter journey
to your desires.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
I will do this if I can bring it to
any opportunity.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
I warrant thee meet me by and by at the citadel.
I must fetch his necessaries. Assure farewell, i'd you. I'll
have our Michael Cassio on the hip, abuse him to
the moor in the rank. God make the more thank me,
love me, and reward me for making him egregiously an

(18:46):
ass and practicing upon his peace and choiet even to madness.
Tis here, but yet confused. Knavery's plane face is never
seen till.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Used seen a hall in the castle. The time early
night enter Riago and Cassio.

Speaker 4 (19:14):
We must of the watch Iago.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Not this, our lieutenant is not yet ten o'clock. Our
general cast us thus early for the love of his Desdemona,
who led us, not therefore blamed.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
She is a most exquisite lady. Indeed, she is a
most fresh and delicate creature.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
What an eye he has? Methinks it sounds a party
of provocation.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
An inviting iron. Yet methinks right modest.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
And when she speaks, is it not an alarum to love?

Speaker 4 (19:41):
It is indeed perfection?

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Well, happiness to them, Come, Lieutenant, I have a stoop
of wine, and here without our abrace of cypress gallants
that would fain have a measure to the health of
a fellow.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
And not tonight go Riago. I have very poor and
unhappy brains for drinking.

Speaker 6 (19:55):
But one cup I'll drink for you.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
I have drunk, but one cup tonight. I am a
fortunate in the infirmity, and dare not task my weakness
with anymore.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
What man tis a knight of revels. The gallants desire it.
Where are they here at the door? I pray you
call them in.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
I'll do it, But it dislikes.

Speaker 9 (20:20):
Let's lookshness, Do not think, gentlemen, I am drunk my
right hand and this is my left hand.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
I am not drunk.

Speaker 9 (20:30):
Now I can stand well enough and speak well enough,
very well. Then you must not think that I a
rock the master's platform.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Come, let's set the watch.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
Good Montanau. You see this fellow that is gone before.
He is a soldier fit to stand by seas.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
Yet I fear the trust othello, put him in on
some odd time of his infirmity will shake this eye?

Speaker 6 (20:58):
H But is he often less? Is evermore of the
prologue to his sleep? It were well?

Speaker 2 (21:03):
The general will put in mind of it.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
Oh, hark, what noise?

Speaker 4 (21:07):
Ruel?

Speaker 6 (21:07):
Wrong?

Speaker 10 (21:07):
You rascal?

Speaker 6 (21:08):
What's the matter, Lieutenant?

Speaker 3 (21:09):
I'll beat the nave into a wicker bottle?

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Eat me?

Speaker 7 (21:12):
Do you prank wrong?

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Good lieutenant?

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Pray, sir, hold your head pinko, sir, I'll knock you
are the mas to come?

Speaker 9 (21:18):
Come your drop crawdo away.

Speaker 6 (21:20):
Go out and try your mutiny? Nay, good, lieutenant, sir Montano.
Health masters whose laugh that rings the bell? The town
will rise?

Speaker 2 (21:30):
What is the matter here?

Speaker 4 (21:31):
Fool?

Speaker 9 (21:32):
Were alive?

Speaker 6 (21:32):
Lieutenant, sir Montano? Gentlemen, have you forgot all sense of
place and cuty.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Hole that general speaks to you?

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Fan's that dreadful bell.

Speaker 10 (21:43):
It breaks the aisle from her propriety.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
What's the matter? Masters, honest Iago, that looks dead with
grieving speak? Who began this?

Speaker 6 (21:58):
I do not know.

Speaker 5 (22:00):
I cannot speak any beginning to these peevishads.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
How came it?

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Michael?

Speaker 2 (22:05):
You were thus forgot? I pray you pardon me.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
I cannot speak.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Worthy Montana, what's the matter that you unlace your reputation
thus and spend your rich opinion for the name of
a knight brawler?

Speaker 9 (22:18):
Give me answer to it?

Speaker 4 (22:19):
Worthy Othello, I am hurt to danger.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
Your officer, Iago can inform you how by heaven?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
If I stir or do but lift this arm, the
best of you shall sink in my rebuke, Iago, who began?

Speaker 11 (22:33):
If you deliver more or less than truth, you are
no soldier?

Speaker 6 (22:36):
Touch me, not so near.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
I had rather have this tongue cut from my mouth
than it should do offense to Michael Cassio. Yet I
persuade myself to speak the truth, shall nothing wrong him?
Thus it is General Mantano, and myself being in speech,
there comes a fellow crying out for help. And Cassio
following him with determined sold to execute upon him. Sir

(23:01):
Montano steps into Cassio and entreats his pause. Myself, the
crying fellow.

Speaker 6 (23:06):
Did pursue. He swift the foot outran my purpose.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
When I came back, for this was brief, I found
them close together at blow and thrust, even as again
they were when you yourself did pot them. Though Cassio did
some little wrong to him, yet surely he received from
him that fled, some strange indignity which patience could not pass.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
I know, Iago, your honesty and love does mince this matter,
making it light to Cassio. Cassio, I love thee, but
never more be officer of mine. Montano Fior hurts, myself,
will be your surgeon. Lead him off, Iago, look with

(23:50):
care about the town, and silence those whom this vile
brawl distracted.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Good night.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Tell me, Cassio, what was he that you followed with
your sword? What had he done to you?

Speaker 4 (24:08):
I remember a mass of things, nothing distinctly quarreled.

Speaker 6 (24:15):
Nothing wherefore, but you are now well enough? How came
you thus recovered?

Speaker 4 (24:19):
It has pleased the devil brath One imperfectness shows me
another to make me frankly despise myself.

Speaker 6 (24:28):
Come you are too severe a morally.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
I will ask him for my place again. He shall
tell me I am a drunk.

Speaker 5 (24:35):
Come, Come, Come, come, you are any man living may
be drunk.

Speaker 6 (24:38):
At some time.

Speaker 5 (24:40):
I'll tell you what you shall do. Our general's wife
is now the general. Confess yourself freely to her importune
her help to put you in your place again. She
is of so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed
a disposition. She holds it a vice in her goodness
not to do more than she is requested. This broken

for her life lust, and by how much she strives
to do him good, she shall undo her credit with

(26:06):
the more so, will I turn her virtue into pitch,
and out of her own goodness.
