a second look, and if you did, you'd be wasting
your time. Yep. I've traveled all over the country and
work at all kinds of jobs. Right now, I'm returning
(01:45):
from a job I had in a department store out West.
I was in the notions department, and I quit because
the floor walker also had notions of all the seats available.
I had a plunk myself down alongside one of those
women with a baby. It had the face of an
angel and lungs like an air raid siren. This child
(02:07):
didn't cry all the time, just when he was awake. No, darling, shh, Mommy,

nice lady? And yeah little man, and do Mazie another
small favorite? Will you stop drooling into my purse? My
lipstick is starting to float, Madam? Please do something, will you?

with cauliflower ear drums. Oh, what's the navy?
Speaker 1 (02:39):

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh but she can't.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
She only bought one ticket. I mean, we've got a
schedule to keep.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, but the start can't read a train schedule. Nobody can,
for that matter. Stop this train immediately.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You can't, miss hey, let's call that emergency courture.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh no, we're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I will never mind that. Put your head out of
my suitcase and help me with this girl. I'm getting
her to a hospital. Yeah, but she's gonna be there
when the baby arrives.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
The mother is always there when the baby arrives.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I mean to the hospital. Come on, honey, what happened?
Save your strength, honey, you're gonna need all of it.
We'll get you to the nearest hospital if I have
to carry you there. Oh, come back, come back. Oh,
(05:22):
don't waste your strength calling for the train, honey, if
you want to yell, wait till a car comes up
the road.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Oh this is awful. We're miles and miles away from everything.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, we'll get a lift to the nearest town soon.
You just lie down and rest so one comes along.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Oh this is awful, ohful, poor kid?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Here, take this?
Speaker 5 (05:46):
What do I want with a pencil?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But just buy down it. It's supposed to ease the pain.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
But I don't have any pain.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You don't, but you're supposed to. It's important. Try, honey,
try and have some pain, just a little please.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I've been trying to tell you the baby. I'm not
going to have it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Now, but I hope not. You must wait till we
get to a doctor.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
No, it won't be born for eight months yet.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Now, don't talk, honey.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
It's what I tried to tell you, but you rushed
me off the train.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh brother, well that's me. Never waits till the last minute,
and look out I walk to the nearest town and
send your husband a telegram to come and get you.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Oh no, no, no, no, he mustn't know where I am.
You see, I'm I'm running away.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Running away. Ah, he beats you.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Tom does not beat me. He's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Well, if he's so wonderful while you're running away, And
what about the baby when you're gonna have sometime, doesn't
that make a difference.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Well, that's why I'm running away. He's had too many
expenses already, the baby. No, my husband, Tom doesn't make
much money, and you don't know what it's like to
have to count your.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Pennies as I do.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Honey, Look Betty Grayson, missus, Betty Grayson.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh well, I'm mayzy for bear. Miss hell. Look Betty,
I know I've interfered in your life enough already, but
I think you're making a big mistake running away rather
than tell your husband he's going to.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Be a father.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Well, how did you know I didn't tell him?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Well, because maybe you're the kind of woman who's on
the enjoyment out of life, is feeling sorry for herself.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
But don't you see that the money the cost Tom
and me always broke. We never got to go any place.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, maybe when the baby's born, you won't want to.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Gosh, do you really think, Well it's.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Worth to try, isn't it. Well, come on, I gonna
get a lift home somehow, and I'm going with you
to see that you don't talk yourself out of it again.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
And I don't think I will. Gosh, Mazie, how do
you know so much about you know, a kid needing
a father mother.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh that's simple, honey. I happen to know all about parents,
you see, I never had any.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Oh, then it's all right, Tommy.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
About the baby, I mean all right.

place to go and no money.

kids realize that having a baby's expensive?

Very few men. Do doctors charge money to deliver baby? Yes,
that's right.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
And my doctor said I was going to have a
big one, about eight or nine pounds.

Who knows? Doctors don't charge for the pound. And you'll
need money for emergencies. Babies sometimes gets.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
The adventures of Mazie Starring and Southern will continue in
just a moment.
Speaker 1 (13:15):

No dimes for a cup of coffee, my business manager said,
I should. Well, if it ain't Lieutenant pot Eddie's sergeant Grayson.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
The war's over. You don't have to salute me anymore. Yes, sir,
I mean lieutenant. I mean that, mister.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Oh, things are pretty tough for you.
Speaker 9 (13:43):
I don't let this threadbaar suit of mine throw your pal.
I'll be out of it soon.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It looks like you're almost out of it in a
couple of places, now, Harry, say you for a couple
of bucks?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Thanks, kid, Thanks? What I need at a couple it's
a couple of thousand.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Oh sorry, chum, My business managed amazing. Don't let me
carry around that.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Kind of cash.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
She thinks I might spend it foolishly, smart girl.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
But I'm going to get the money. I'm on my
way and out of the bank. The vice president, mister Thomas,
practically promised to lend it to me.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Oh he did. Huh hmm.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Well, I better get the mazy fast and tell her
to deposit my GI insurance check someplace else. She's at
the bank now opening an account for me. And if
they'll lend you that kind of cash. I ain't got
much faith in the safety of my doll.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
The bank isn't worried about its money, chum. They know
they'll get it back with interest. Mister Thomas is a
man with vision. He has a head on his shoulders.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, sounds like he's got two heads on his shoulders.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
I'm glad that Thomas isn't like you, Tommy. He doesn't
think building a bridge in Hawaii is too much of
a gamble a bridge.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Eh, Hey, say Harry, Why we were over there during
the war. You were working on that bridge building proposition,
weren't you?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Uh huh?
Speaker 9 (14:52):
As an engineer in civilian life, I realized that could
be done there. And that's the reason for the condition
of my wardrobe.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
See.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
I spend every time working on getting that franchise to build,
and now I got it with government backing. We leave
for Hawaii just as soon as I get to see
Thomas at the bank. He's wanting to be playing fair
to fly my workers over there.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You lucky devil going to Hawaii. Yeah, say Tommy, why
don't you come along?
Speaker 7 (15:20):
My business manager won't go for the expense.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Well, what I meant is I'll be needing a foreman
out there when I build. I'll give you one hundred
a week.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
You just hired yourself a foreman, sir. Oh boy, waill
I get home and tell the wife that I kill'll
be able to afford sicknesses that poor kids can't even get.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
A chance at. And when do we leave for us?
Just as soon as I see mister Thomas and get
that long.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Oh sure, Oh Harry, why don't you come up to
the hospital dinner tonight.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
I want you to meet my little mother and also
the smartest little dame with a buck Mazie.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh brother, the way.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
She looks after the safety of my money. There's a
gal that don't throw money away?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Oh public huh?
Speaker 8 (16:01):
See you later form them.
Speaker 10 (16:12):
Yes, miss, my secretary said, you insisted on seeing me
here in my office.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
That's right, Miss Thomas. I am thinking of opening an
account in this bank for a client of mine, but
before I do, I must make certain that my money
is absolutely safe.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Oh, this amount you have is a large sum.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I'm the one that asks the questions, mister Thomas. After all,
I never did business with you before, and I'm not
so sure you're the type to be trusted.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
I'm not no to me.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Your eyes are a little too close together.
Speaker 10 (16:49):
Well, I can't help it, miss, I come from a
poor family, and I grew up in a very narrow room. Hell, look, miss,
you can't go wrong leaving your money with us.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It isn't my money, That's why I'm so careful. It
belongs to an ex soldier.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Oh now, how much do you want to open this account?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
With the whole check? One hundred and thirty seven dollars?
Speaker 10 (17:13):
You're kidding?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
You can't handle that much. Huh.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
We'll have to divvy it up amongst our branches. Yeah,
what is it, miss Peters.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
There's a mister Harry Porter to see you about that
bridge loan.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
No case sending in.
Speaker 10 (17:28):
Right and now, miss, that our little bank passed the
honesty test.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
I hope you'll excuse me. You can go to any
of the windows outside.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
And any one of our little army of busy beavers
will be glad to open that account for you.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, well, not so fast, mister Thomas. If you're going
to give a man alone, I'd like to stay right
here and make sure that he deserves it. After all,
you may be learning him my one hundred and thirty
seven bucks.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
Miss, believe me this mister Porter knows what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, but do you?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yes?
Speaker 10 (18:03):
And I've made up my mind to loaning the money
to get to Hawaii with his crew and build that bridge.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But it'll have to prove to me that it's a
good bridge before I come across.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Miss.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
This is none of your affairs, so if you don't mind,
I've come in.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Oh, good afternoon, mister Thomas. Ready to give me that loan?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I take it, you won't take it? Can we make
sure you deserve it?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Oh? Is your wife, mister Thomas?
Speaker 10 (18:26):
Heaven forbid? Miss, I have some important business to discuss.
If you want to waste somebody's time, please waste the
vice president.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Was he in charge of new deposits, also in.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
Charge of seeing that when depositors are forced to stand
in line, that they refrain from staring into each other's
deposit books.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
A good day is well? Okay, if you think it's safe.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Well, mister Thomas, I'm always have to go. I've hired
my forman already, and now all I need is that
loan we discussed so I can get started building my
bridge in Hawaii.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Hey, yes, mister Porter, We've given a lot of.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Thought, yeah, but not enough. What's the idea of building
a bridge in Hawaii? Why don't you build it here
where the people can see what they're getting for their money.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Miss, Please keep your two cents out of this.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I will and my one hundred and thirty seven dollars too.
You should be ashamed of yourself, mister Thomas, gambling your
poor depositors' money. I'm this bumb, you bum.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Miss.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
Just because my clothes are a bit shabby doesn't mean
that I'm a bum.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Mister Thomas. If you go ahead and know now you're
trusting depositors' money to this bumb you'll be sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Be sorry, But you've got to give me a chance
to make good.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
I know I'm nothing right now, but remember the old
saying giant oaks from acorns.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Come.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Oh, what's an acorn? Just a nut? Mister Thomas. Maybe
this is none of my business. It just maybe it
isn't my friends one hundred and thirty seven bucks I'm
worrying about. It's all the money poor folks have left
here in your care.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Banks do business by loaning money. That's what we're here for.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
If we don't loan money. We don't make money.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Just as I thought, nothing but a selfish attitude.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Mister Thomas. I've heard enough from his screwball.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
No you haven't, mister Thomas. If you go ahead and
give this fly by night character the depositors, bunny, I'll
go from door to door and tell each one to
get their money out off it's too late.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
But that'll start a run on the bank. We'll be ruined.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Better you than those Porsche nooks that put their life
savings in your keeping.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Well, mister Thomas, mister Thomas, Eh, good day, mister Porter Mazie.
(20:53):
For God's sake, aren't you dressed yet?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Thoma's new boss will be here for dinner any minute, Mazy,
do hurry.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I'm doing the best I can, but it is easy
to get best in the kitchen closets.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
It so darken here.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
For the last five minutes, I thought I was brushing
my hair, but it turned out to be your floor off.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Oh that must be the boss. Now I'll get it.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Hi, your boss, you're just in time for dinner. How
about a little something first too?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
What do you have? Make mine? An arsenic and soda arsenic?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Isn't that a little strong mister Porter.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
This is the little woman boss, the mother of my

Oh, it's wonderful to meet you, sir, and I want
to thank for what you're doing for my Tommy.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Frankly, missus Grayson, there's nothing to thank me for. Tell
me about that job.

he could do with his old job.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Quitter, and we're all.

But I've had all the little fixers I can say.
For one day, a little lady fixer fixed it. So

hands on that Daane.

Maybe maybe I maybe we need a second gout of
stop and down backwards again.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Say that voice. It sounds familiar. Maze, Mayzie come out
right away.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Something terrible's happened the bank didn't give that bridge long
to mister Porter.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Oh that's a terrible thing for a bank to do. Porter,
a tall, skinny guy.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, how did you know?
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I just did have in the dark. And right now,

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Another basy Majie. This is serious.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Now that that job of mine is all off, I
have no future.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Yeah, come on out, Maizie.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I'm not a stay in here. I'd like to have
a future.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Oh, come on, Now.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
We need advice, and we need it bad, and I'm

Speaker 2 (23:08):
There ain't nobody can give his sad advice with me.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Come on girl, Mazie.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Hello, all.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
You like my new hairdoo?
Speaker 7 (23:20):
But it's comb right down over you or kiss it?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yes, Mazie, and I can't see your face.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I'm glad. Well, folks, I think I'll skip dinner. I
got a date. I think I'll run. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
She is the name that's responsible for all this message.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Now I'm sure i'll run.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Maze. You did it.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
My franchise to build that bridge expires tomorrow and I
have to be in Hawaii by then with my.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Crew or else.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Now you've spoiled everything. But I only did it to
protect your money. I didn't think it was fared alone,
a total stranger. Millions of dollars that didn't even belong
to the bank to build a.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Bridge, millions of dollars, Yeah, amaze, he missed. The porter
didn't want to borrow millions. I wanted was a couple
of thousand to get my crew over to Hawaii.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Only a couple of thousand.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah, the government's backing the actual construction.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Well gosh, why did you say so, mister porter?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Why you didn't ask me?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But I couldn't think of everything. I know genius?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You know I think you are.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Ah, you're just being sweet.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
A genius at messing things up.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well that takes talent too.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Oh maybe how could you? No, it's too late?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Yeah, and where can we get two thousand bucks just
like that?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Well that's easy.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So mister Thomas at the bank, miss you were stupid.
Bank's close at three and.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Now it's seven, and no banker ever opens his bank
for loans at this hour.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
But mister Thomas might come down and open his bank
if somebody calls him and tells him she thinks his
bank is being robbed.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
But his bank isn't being robbed.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
But how am I supposed to know that, mister Porter,
like you said, I'm stupid.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
In just a moment, we shall return to the Adventures
of Mazie, And now once again, here's Mazie.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Well, when mister Thomas came rushing down to thank after
ick call and found out it was just a trick,
he saw red that mister Pest agree three thousand dollars
worth of it. The next morning he Betty and their
crew charted the plane and flew to Hawaii. They wanted
me to join him there in two weeks, but I
can't leave the thirty days. The judge said, yeah, this
(26:14):
is what I got for sending in a false alarm,
and Betty and Tom are so grateful. They said they
were going to give their kid my name. They might
just as well just for the next month. I won't
be using it. I got a number instead. Well, it's
time for chaw now, so I might as well get
in line and see what the chef is dreamed up
today to turn our little stummas.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
You have just heard.
Speaker 3 (26:44):

(01:21):
as fazy.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yep, bye Maze, Like the fella said, maybe be there
just to Gaal from Brooklyn, who's faced more of life
than ports. Frankly, there's nothing unusual about me. If you
saw me walking down the street, you wouldn't give me
a second look, and if you did, you'd be wasting
your time. Yep. I've traveled all over the country and
work at all kinds of jobs. Right now, I'm returning
(01:45):
from a job I had in a department store out West.
I was in the notions department, and I quit because
the floor walker also had notions of all the seats available.
I had a plunk myself down alongside one of those
women with a baby. It had the face of an
angel and lungs like an air raid siren. This child
(02:07):
didn't cry all the time, just when he was awake. No, darling, shh, Mommy,
can't we when you cry? You still play with the
nice lady? And yeah little man, and do Mazie another
small favorite? Will you stop drooling into my purse? My
lipstick is starting to float, Madam? Please do something, will you?
(02:33):
He's been yelling so much I'm able to wind up
with cauliflower ear drums. Oh, what's the navy?
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Baby?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Low? It can't be unless his little stomach has no memory.
It's ten minutes ago. He ate half my salami sandwich.
I'll take him just as soon as I finished this
story I'm reading. And you don't mind holding him on
your left, do you well? I didn't mind it to Nevada,
Montana and Colorado with Jor did get a little heavy
(03:01):
through Kansas. Here, Mama, he's all yours by madam. I'm
gonna find a seat up forward Storling. Only a two
hours and you'll be back with Popper and you can
drive him.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Not so while.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Prime mess? Is this she taken?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:22):
No, it isn't. Thanks you care for some guns?
Speaker 1 (03:29):

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Thanks? Was anything wrong, honey? No, everything's just just dandy.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Ah, no, don't cry, honey, got your eyes here. Use
my handkerchief? Uh oh I don't have one. That baby's
mother and short of equipment, so she drabbed in my handkerchief.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
Baby, I said something. Maybe you don't understand I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Don't. They gone?
Speaker 5 (04:03):
So, oh it's not that, it's.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Oh miss miss, I mean missus, don't don't conductor?
Speaker 5 (04:12):

Speaker 6 (04:14):
Yes, miss? What is it?
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:16):
What's wrong with her?
Speaker 2 (04:17):
She painted?
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Stop the train just because she painted?
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Well, don't you understand. We got to get her to
a doctor at once.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Stop the train.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
She's gonna have a baby.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Oh but she can't.
Speaker 7 (04:26):
She only bought one ticket. I mean, we've got a
schedule to keep.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, but the start can't read a train schedule. Nobody can,
for that matter. Stop this train immediately.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
You can't, miss hey, let's call that emergency courture.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Oh no, we're gonna do it.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I will never mind that. Put your head out of
my suitcase and help me with this girl. I'm getting
her to a hospital. Yeah, but she's gonna be there
when the baby arrives.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
The mother is always there when the baby arrives.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I mean to the hospital. Come on, honey, what happened?
Save your strength, honey, you're gonna need all of it.
We'll get you to the nearest hospital if I have
to carry you there. Oh, come back, come back. Oh,
(05:22):
don't waste your strength calling for the train, honey, if
you want to yell, wait till a car comes up
the road.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Oh this is awful. We're miles and miles away from everything.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Well, we'll get a lift to the nearest town soon.
You just lie down and rest so one comes along.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
Oh this is awful, ohful, poor kid?
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Here, take this?
Speaker 5 (05:46):
What do I want with a pencil?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
But just buy down it. It's supposed to ease the pain.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
But I don't have any pain.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
You don't, but you're supposed to. It's important. Try, honey,
try and have some pain, just a little please.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
I've been trying to tell you the baby. I'm not
going to have it.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Now, but I hope not. You must wait till we
get to a doctor.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
No, it won't be born for eight months yet.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Now, don't talk, honey.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
It's what I tried to tell you, but you rushed
me off the train.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Oh brother, well that's me. Never waits till the last minute,
and look out I walk to the nearest town and
send your husband a telegram to come and get you.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Oh no, no, no, no, he mustn't know where I am.
You see, I'm I'm running away.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Running away. Ah, he beats you.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Huh.
Speaker 5 (06:43):
Tom does not beat me. He's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Well, if he's so wonderful while you're running away, And
what about the baby when you're gonna have sometime, doesn't
that make a difference.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Well, that's why I'm running away. He's had too many
expenses already, the baby. No, my husband, Tom doesn't make
much money, and you don't know what it's like to
have to count your.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Pennies as I do.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
Honey, Look Betty Grayson, missus, Betty Grayson.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh well, I'm mayzy for bear. Miss hell. Look Betty,
I know I've interfered in your life enough already, but
I think you're making a big mistake running away rather
than tell your husband he's going to.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Be a father.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Well, how did you know I didn't tell him?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Well, because maybe you're the kind of woman who's on
the enjoyment out of life, is feeling sorry for herself.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
But don't you see that the money the cost Tom
and me always broke. We never got to go any place.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Well, maybe when the baby's born, you won't want to.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Gosh, do you really think, Well it's.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Worth to try, isn't it. Well, come on, I gonna
get a lift home somehow, and I'm going with you
to see that you don't talk yourself out of it again.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
And I don't think I will. Gosh, Mazie, how do
you know so much about you know, a kid needing
a father mother.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Oh that's simple, honey. I happen to know all about parents,
you see, I never had any.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
Oh, then it's all right, Tommy.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
About the baby, I mean all right.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's wonderful, it's terrific.
Speaker 8 (08:34):
Gosh, gosh, imagine me with a son.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
You want a boy, Tommy, what else?
Speaker 1 (08:43):
It'll be a boy, won't it.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Well, I'll try, Tommy, really I will.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Well, your wife can't guarantee the nake, Tommy. After all,
you're dealing with a firm that's just starting in business.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
Oh well, it doesn't have to be a boy. Girls
are wonderful tool after all, Mazie, you're.
Speaker 5 (08:59):
A girl, most wonderful girl in the world. If it
hadn't been for you, maybe you've been an angel.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Yeah, Yeah, what you have done was a miracle.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
How can we ever repay you? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I just give it kids. This one's on the house. Well,
I guess i'll be shoving off.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Where are you going? You told me you have no
place to go and no money.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Mazie, I have a little money.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh no, that's threely you, Tommy. But save it for
your man child. You know, babies, they're all born with
one nasty habit.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
Well you sure sound like it. You've been celebrating an
advanced time.

kids realize that having a baby's expensive?
Speaker 7 (10:09):
They are? Oh gosh, how would I know? I never
had a baby before.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Very few men. Do doctors charge money to deliver baby? Yes,
that's right.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
And my doctor said I was going to have a
big one, about eight or nine pounds.
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Gosh, how much will that cost?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Who knows? Doctors don't charge for the pound. And you'll
need money for emergencies. Babies sometimes gets.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
Say they do. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
What you kids need to do is save that GI
insurance doll.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
You're right. Maybe you're right, Betty, Honey, here's the check.
You take care of the money.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Oh no, no, no, darling, you take care of it. Oh,
I wouldn't trust myself. Money just always just slip through
my fingers.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Mind too, I can't hold on to a dime.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Oh that's silly. I know. If I had that kind

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh well, this is a new one. I've worked as
a babysitter, but this is the first time I've ever
been offered a job as a money sitter.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Well suppose the kid don't catch that sickness. If we

all that money.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
The adventures of Mazie Starring and Southern will continue in
just a moment.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
And now back to Mazy beg your pardon, buddy. Oh,
I'm sorry, chum.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
No dimes for a cup of coffee, my business manager said,
I should. Well, if it ain't Lieutenant pot Eddie's sergeant Grayson.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
The war's over. You don't have to salute me anymore. Yes, sir,
I mean lieutenant. I mean that, mister.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Oh, things are pretty tough for you.
Speaker 9 (13:43):
I don't let this threadbaar suit of mine throw your pal.
I'll be out of it soon.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It looks like you're almost out of it in a
couple of places, now, Harry, say you for a couple
of bucks?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Thanks, kid, Thanks? What I need at a couple it's
a couple of thousand.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
Oh sorry, chum, My business managed amazing. Don't let me
carry around that.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Kind of cash.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
She thinks I might spend it foolishly, smart girl.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
But I'm going to get the money. I'm on my
way and out of the bank. The vice president, mister Thomas,
practically promised to lend it to me.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Oh he did. Huh hmm.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
Well, I better get the mazy fast and tell her
to deposit my GI insurance check someplace else. She's at
the bank now opening an account for me. And if
they'll lend you that kind of cash. I ain't got
much faith in the safety of my doll.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
The bank isn't worried about its money, chum. They know
they'll get it back with interest. Mister Thomas is a
man with vision. He has a head on his shoulders.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Yeah, sounds like he's got two heads on his shoulders.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
I'm glad that Thomas isn't like you, Tommy. He doesn't
think building a bridge in Hawaii is too much of
a gamble a bridge.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Eh, Hey, say Harry, Why we were over there during
the war. You were working on that bridge building proposition,
weren't you?
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Uh huh?
Speaker 9 (14:52):
As an engineer in civilian life, I realized that could
be done there. And that's the reason for the condition
of my wardrobe.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
See.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
I spend every time working on getting that franchise to build,
and now I got it with government backing. We leave
for Hawaii just as soon as I get to see
Thomas at the bank. He's wanting to be playing fair
to fly my workers over there.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You lucky devil going to Hawaii. Yeah, say Tommy, why
don't you come along?
Speaker 7 (15:20):
My business manager won't go for the expense.
Speaker 9 (15:22):
Well, what I meant is I'll be needing a foreman
out there when I build. I'll give you one hundred
a week.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
You just hired yourself a foreman, sir. Oh boy, waill
I get home and tell the wife that I kill'll
be able to afford sicknesses that poor kids can't even get.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
A chance at. And when do we leave for us?
Just as soon as I see mister Thomas and get
that long.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Oh sure, Oh Harry, why don't you come up to
the hospital dinner tonight.
Speaker 7 (15:46):
I want you to meet my little mother and also
the smartest little dame with a buck Mazie.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
Oh brother, the way.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
She looks after the safety of my money. There's a
gal that don't throw money away?
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Oh public huh?
Speaker 8 (16:01):
See you later form them.
Speaker 10 (16:12):
Yes, miss, my secretary said, you insisted on seeing me
here in my office.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
That's right, Miss Thomas. I am thinking of opening an
account in this bank for a client of mine, but
before I do, I must make certain that my money
is absolutely safe.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Oh, this amount you have is a large sum.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
I'm the one that asks the questions, mister Thomas. After all,
I never did business with you before, and I'm not
so sure you're the type to be trusted.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
I'm not no to me.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Your eyes are a little too close together.
Speaker 10 (16:49):
Well, I can't help it, miss, I come from a
poor family, and I grew up in a very narrow room. Hell, look, miss,
you can't go wrong leaving your money with us.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
It isn't my money, That's why I'm so careful. It
belongs to an ex soldier.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Oh now, how much do you want to open this account?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
With the whole check? One hundred and thirty seven dollars?
Speaker 10 (17:13):
You're kidding?
Speaker 2 (17:14):
You can't handle that much. Huh.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
We'll have to divvy it up amongst our branches. Yeah,
what is it, miss Peters.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
There's a mister Harry Porter to see you about that
bridge loan.
Speaker 6 (17:27):
No case sending in.
Speaker 10 (17:28):
Right and now, miss, that our little bank passed the
honesty test.
Speaker 6 (17:34):
I hope you'll excuse me. You can go to any
of the windows outside.
Speaker 10 (17:38):
And any one of our little army of busy beavers
will be glad to open that account for you.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Yeah, well, not so fast, mister Thomas. If you're going
to give a man alone, I'd like to stay right
here and make sure that he deserves it. After all,
you may be learning him my one hundred and thirty
seven bucks.
Speaker 6 (17:55):
Miss, believe me this mister Porter knows what he's doing.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, but do you?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yes?
Speaker 10 (18:03):
And I've made up my mind to loaning the money
to get to Hawaii with his crew and build that bridge.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
But it'll have to prove to me that it's a
good bridge before I come across.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Miss.
Speaker 10 (18:12):
This is none of your affairs, so if you don't mind,
I've come in.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Oh, good afternoon, mister Thomas. Ready to give me that loan?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I take it, you won't take it? Can we make
sure you deserve it?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Oh? Is your wife, mister Thomas?
Speaker 10 (18:26):
Heaven forbid? Miss, I have some important business to discuss.
If you want to waste somebody's time, please waste the
vice president.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Was he in charge of new deposits, also in.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
Charge of seeing that when depositors are forced to stand
in line, that they refrain from staring into each other's
deposit books.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
A good day is well? Okay, if you think it's safe.
Speaker 9 (18:50):
Well, mister Thomas, I'm always have to go. I've hired
my forman already, and now all I need is that
loan we discussed so I can get started building my
bridge in Hawaii.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
Hey, yes, mister Porter, We've given a lot of.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Thought, yeah, but not enough. What's the idea of building
a bridge in Hawaii? Why don't you build it here
where the people can see what they're getting for their money.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Miss, Please keep your two cents out of this.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I will and my one hundred and thirty seven dollars too.
You should be ashamed of yourself, mister Thomas, gambling your
poor depositors' money. I'm this bumb, you bum.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Miss.
Speaker 9 (19:25):
Just because my clothes are a bit shabby doesn't mean
that I'm a bum.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Mister Thomas. If you go ahead and know now you're
trusting depositors' money to this bumb you'll be sorry.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Be sorry, But you've got to give me a chance
to make good.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
I know I'm nothing right now, but remember the old
saying giant oaks from acorns.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Come.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Oh, what's an acorn? Just a nut? Mister Thomas. Maybe
this is none of my business. It just maybe it
isn't my friends one hundred and thirty seven bucks I'm
worrying about. It's all the money poor folks have left
here in your care.
Speaker 6 (20:00):
Banks do business by loaning money. That's what we're here for.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
If we don't loan money. We don't make money.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Just as I thought, nothing but a selfish attitude.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
Mister Thomas. I've heard enough from his screwball.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
No you haven't, mister Thomas. If you go ahead and
give this fly by night character the depositors, bunny, I'll
go from door to door and tell each one to
get their money out off it's too late.
Speaker 1 (20:24):
But that'll start a run on the bank. We'll be ruined.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Better you than those Porsche nooks that put their life
savings in your keeping.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Well, mister Thomas, mister Thomas, Eh, good day, mister Porter Mazie.
(20:53):
For God's sake, aren't you dressed yet?
Speaker 5 (20:55):
Thoma's new boss will be here for dinner any minute, Mazy,
do hurry.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I'm doing the best I can, but it is easy
to get best in the kitchen closets.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
It so darken here.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
For the last five minutes, I thought I was brushing
my hair, but it turned out to be your floor off.
Speaker 7 (21:11):
Oh that must be the boss. Now I'll get it.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Hi, your boss, you're just in time for dinner. How
about a little something first too?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
What do you have? Make mine? An arsenic and soda arsenic?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Isn't that a little strong mister Porter.
Speaker 7 (21:28):
This is the little woman boss, the mother of my
son to be.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Oh, it's wonderful to meet you, sir, and I want
to thank for what you're doing for my Tommy.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Frankly, missus Grayson, there's nothing to thank me for. Tell
me about that job.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
Oh I quit that. I told the old boss what
he could do with his old job.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
Quitter, and we're all.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
Set to leave for Tommy's new job. Mazie helped me pack.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Mazie, yeah, my business management pals.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
She's our little fixer.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I want you to meet er. Thanks.
Speaker 9 (21:58):
But I've had all the little fixers I can say.
For one day, a little lady fixer fixed it. So
we ain't going to Hawaii.
Speaker 7 (22:04):
It is not going. But I thought it was all set.
Speaker 9 (22:07):
It was, but a certain nosybody unset it. Talk the
bank right out of giving.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Me the loan. Oh just wait till I get my
hands on that Daane.
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Oh oh this is terrible, terrible. We need advice the bad.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Maybe maybe I maybe we need a second gout of
stop and down backwards again.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Say that voice. It sounds familiar. Maze, Mayzie come out
right away.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Something terrible's happened the bank didn't give that bridge long
to mister Porter.
Speaker 5 (22:36):
Oh that's a terrible thing for a bank to do. Porter,
a tall, skinny guy.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, how did you know?
Speaker 5 (22:46):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
I just did have in the dark. And right now,
if I had a knife, I'd like to take.
Speaker 1 (22:51):

Speaker 4 (22:54):
Now that that job of mine is all off, I
have no future.
Speaker 1 (22:57):

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Come on girl, Mazie.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Hello, all.
Speaker 5 (23:18):
You like my new hairdoo?
Speaker 7 (23:20):
But it's comb right down over you or kiss it?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yes, Mazie, and I can't see your face.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
I'm glad. Well, folks, I think I'll skip dinner. I
got a date. I think I'll run. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
She is the name that's responsible for all this message.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Now I'm sure i'll run.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Maze. You did it.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
My franchise to build that bridge expires tomorrow and I
have to be in Hawaii by then with my.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Crew or else.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Now you've spoiled everything. But I only did it to
protect your money. I didn't think it was fared alone,
a total stranger. Millions of dollars that didn't even belong
to the bank to build a.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Bridge, millions of dollars, Yeah, amaze, he missed. The porter
didn't want to borrow millions. I wanted was a couple
of thousand to get my crew over to Hawaii.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Only a couple of thousand.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Yeah, the government's backing the actual construction.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Well gosh, why did you say so, mister porter?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Why you didn't ask me?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
But I couldn't think of everything. I know genius?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
You know I think you are.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Ah, you're just being sweet.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
A genius at messing things up.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Well that takes talent too.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Oh maybe how could you? No, it's too late?
Speaker 4 (24:28):
Yeah, and where can we get two thousand bucks just
like that?
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Well that's easy.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
So mister Thomas at the bank, miss you were stupid.
Bank's close at three and.
Speaker 5 (24:41):
Now it's seven, and no banker ever opens his bank
for loans at this hour.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
But mister Thomas might come down and open his bank
if somebody calls him and tells him she thinks his
bank is being robbed.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
But his bank isn't being robbed.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
But how am I supposed to know that, mister Porter,
like you said, I'm stupid.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
In just a moment, we shall return to the Adventures
of Mazie, And now once again, here's Mazie.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Well, when mister Thomas came rushing down to thank after
ick call and found out it was just a trick,
he saw red that mister Pest agree three thousand dollars
worth of it. The next morning he Betty and their
crew charted the plane and flew to Hawaii. They wanted
me to join him there in two weeks, but I
can't leave the thirty days. The judge said, yeah, this
(26:14):
is what I got for sending in a false alarm,
and Betty and Tom are so grateful. They said they
were going to give their kid my name. They might
just as well just for the next month. I won't
be using it. I got a number instead. Well, it's
time for chaw now, so I might as well get
in line and see what the chef is dreamed up
today to turn our little stummas.
