All Las Poor Montague, the Magnificent Montague, dean of the
Shakespearean stage, has sunk to radio. He is uncle goodheart,
hero of an afternoon program, Magnito. Of course, the world
of a fat must never know of his downfall. It
is morning in the Montague apartment. His wife, Lily and
Agnes the maid, are awaiting his arrival.

At the breakfast table.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
The phone rings.

The phone nodded, Honey, the residence of Edwin Montague and
Lily bulaime, Agnes, I'm listen you who, mister Mannick of
Empire Pictures, Hollywood, you want Montague? You got the wrong boy. Now,
I'm sure you got the wrong one. This one's never

company wanted Montague. I told him he had the wrong Montague.
Speaker 4 (01:28):

Speaker 3 (01:30):
We better not even tell him. I spoke to someone
from Hollywood over that phone. He'll have it taken out
and sterilized. Oh imagine Edwin and I'll get it the
residence of Edwin Montague. Why oh you again? Look buster,
you got the wrong Montague. You obviously want one of
them Hollywood stars like Montague Cliff or Robert Montague's lay off. Huh,
(01:57):

kept calling me, darling. Why does that only happen to
me on the phone.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I'd miss you know how those Hollywood people talk.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
I'll take it this time. Hello, No, I'm missus Montague.
But I'm sure you have the wrong Montague. My husband
is a famous Shakespearean actor. He hates Hollywood, and after
the many public statements he's made concerning movies, I'm sure
the feeling is mutual.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Now please stop ringing this number.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Same guy, han h.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I hope the phone didn't waken Edwin.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Heaven forbid, he shouldn't get his seventeen hours of sleep.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
He was at a celebration at his Presnion club last night.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
What for did their youngest member collect his first Social
Security check? This means the club's now one percent on
The government.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Now eignes. Those actors in the club are not that
whole you kidding?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
They still talk of how they entertain the soul. During
the war at Valley forge.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I hear him stirring.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Ah, the monster's up now, Agnes. Please when he shows up,
it may be nine o'clock to you, but to me
it's the end of a perfect day. Have you his
breath almost? I got his oatmeal ready. All I have
to do is grind up the glass to put in it, Agnes.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Try and get along with Edwin.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Now this morning, why don't you greet him with a
cheery hello, I'd rather do it with a howitzer.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Must you always fight?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I could always just stand by and watch myself get killed.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Now, really, you know, Edwin, a barking dog never bites.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You can. What do you think these scars on my
legs are beauty spots?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
And I'll stop exaggerating. Try and understand him.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
You know, Honey, for twenty five years, I've been trying
to understand your husband. Then one day, like a bolt
out of the blue, hit me. I suddenly know what
he's a.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Jerknes, If you oh, Edwin's.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Up the call of a while?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Good morning, Lily? Where's here?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I am making toast?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Oh? For one brief ecstatic moment, I thought she wasn't here. Summer,
I keep dreaming like this being hit by a truck.
And what was that other dream?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Why don't you hang around sometime when I'm making a cake.
I'd like to get your beard caught in the next Master.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Seriously, An, why did you come to work for us
and plaguing my life? Weren't you happy wrestling on television?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Please stop it, Edward? Why don't you bury the hatchet?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Bury the hatchet?
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
That was my other dream about I I'm.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I'm affair you've been picking in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Break is coming up, Lily.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
The insurance companies keep telling us seventy five percent of
the accidents happen in kitchens.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Why doesn't it happen? Can't you fall in the oven
or something?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Oh? Now, ed when you know you like Agnes?
Speaker 2 (05:34):

Speaker 8 (05:43):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:43):

Speaker 2 (05:45):

Speaker 6 (06:09):
Must my knowledge? What's going on in the world is
screened through Agnes. But is she a local iron curtain?
I demand that newspaper.

Time to peek into Uncle Goodheart's mail bag with the
silver lining. I have a letter from a lady who
signs herself Melancholy Baby.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It reads, Dear Uncle good Heart.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
I am a bride of fifteen years. The first two
days of our marriage were divine. Then I began noticing
little things about my husband. Every night, he would sneak
out and set things on.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Fire houses, factories, stars. At first I tried to overlook these.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Things because because they made him laugh.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And easy to get along with.
Speaker 6 (13:52):

gasoline and was about.

well as.

How many times have I told you, housewife, you're doing
the cookie washley. Having babies bringing them up isn't enough
for a happy marriage. You must be a pelled to
your husband. You must share his interests. And so, Melancholy Baby,

The phone nodded, Honey, the residence of Edwin Montague and
Lily bulaime, Agnes, I'm listen you who, mister Mannick of
Empire Pictures, Hollywood, you want Montague? You got the wrong boy. Now,
I'm sure you got the wrong one. This one's never

company wanted Montague. I told him he had the wrong Montague.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Edward Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
We better not even tell him. I spoke to someone
from Hollywood over that phone. He'll have it taken out
and sterilized. Oh imagine Edwin and I'll get it the
residence of Edwin Montague. Why oh you again? Look buster,

them Hollywood stars like Montague Cliff or Robert Montague's lay off. Huh,

me on the phone.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
I'd miss you know how those Hollywood people talk.
Speaker 5 (02:11):
I'll take it this time. Hello, No, I'm missus Montague.
But I'm sure you have the wrong Montague. My husband
is a famous Shakespearean actor. He hates Hollywood, and after
the many public statements he's made concerning movies, I'm sure
the feeling is mutual.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Now please stop ringing this number.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Same guy, han h.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
I hope the phone didn't waken Edwin.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Heaven forbid, he shouldn't get his seventeen hours of sleep.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
He was at a celebration at his Presnion club last night.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
What for did their youngest member collect his first Social
Security check? This means the club's now one percent on
The government.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
Now eignes. Those actors in the club are not that
whole you kidding?
Speaker 3 (02:58):
They still talk of how they entertain the soul. During
the war at Valley forge.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I hear him stirring.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Ah, the monster's up now, Agnes. Please when he shows up,
it may be nine o'clock to you, but to me
it's the end of a perfect day. Have you his
breath almost? I got his oatmeal ready. All I have
to do is grind up the glass to put in it, Agnes.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Try and get along with Edwin.
Speaker 5 (03:29):
Now this morning, why don't you greet him with a
cheery hello, I'd rather do it with a howitzer.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Must you always fight?
Speaker 5 (03:37):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:37):
I could always just stand by and watch myself get killed.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Now, really, you know, Edwin, a barking dog never bites.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You can. What do you think these scars on my
legs are beauty spots?
Speaker 4 (03:50):
And I'll stop exaggerating. Try and understand him.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
You know, Honey, for twenty five years, I've been trying
to understand your husband. Then one day, like a bolt
out of the blue, hit me. I suddenly know what
he's a.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Jerknes, If you oh, Edwin's.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Up the call of a while?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Good morning, Lily? Where's here?
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I am making toast?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Oh? For one brief ecstatic moment, I thought she wasn't here. Summer,
I keep dreaming like this being hit by a truck.
And what was that other dream?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Why don't you hang around sometime when I'm making a cake.
I'd like to get your beard caught in the next Master.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Seriously, An, why did you come to work for us
and plaguing my life? Weren't you happy wrestling on television?
Speaker 4 (04:49):
Please stop it, Edward? Why don't you bury the hatchet?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Bury the hatchet?
Speaker 7 (04:55):
Ah?
Speaker 6 (04:56):
That was my other dream about I I'm.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
A dragon boy. Will you please exhale? I have to
light the oven.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Agnes bringing his oat meal?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Yes, what do you have after the oat meal?
Speaker 6 (05:11):
Obviously an autopsy?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I'm affair you've been picking in the kitchen.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Break is coming up, Lily.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
The insurance companies keep telling us seventy five percent of
the accidents happen in kitchens.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Why doesn't it happen? Can't you fall in the oven
or something?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Oh? Now, ed when you know you like Agnes?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, it's well done.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Oh come on, Edwin, relaxed in this house?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
What is all that jingling this morning?
Speaker 8 (05:43):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Nothing?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Someone had the wrong number again.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
I thought you rendered out the living room as a
rehearsal hall for a Swiss bell ringing act.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Where's the morning paper.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Oh, Agnes, Yeah, honey, have you this morning's newspaper?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Yeah? But I ain't through with the chick.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Charming situation, Agnes.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Agnes ain't through with it yet, now, Edwin, what's she
doing with it?
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Censoring it? For us?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Must my knowledge? What's going on in the world is
screened through Agnes. But is she a local iron curtain?
I demand that newspaper.
Speaker 5 (06:16):
Now, Edwin, You've forgotten one thing. Why it's Agnes's newspaper?
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah, and I ain't through with that.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
Here's your mush I dearly, don't I make enough money?
It's selling my honor five times a week on the
Radio's Uncle Goodheart to.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Afford a morning paper, Edwin.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Remember I'm not allowed to buy a paper.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
Eleven years ago, when Brooks Atkinson, the drama critic and
reviewing your Macbeth, compared you with Maurice Evans, you were
so insulted you forbad me to ever bring a New
York Times.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Into the house again, comparing me with that upstart Maurice Evans.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Take away his profile? What have you got, Mickey Rooney?
Speaker 5 (07:00):
Well, when burns Mandel seven in Hamlet, your love scene

Speaker 4 (07:05):
Wasn't convincing.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
You barred the daily news from the house.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
My love scene wasn't convincing. At the time, Miss Gwendolen
Forbes had.
Speaker 7 (07:13):
Reached the stage of Sweet sixty two he expected to
do when I kissed her pant.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Those weren't embraces. I was just holding her up.
Speaker 5 (07:28):
And then when the Tribune critic all right, all right, gun,
what are you driving at that? The only morning newspaper
that does ever get into this house belongs to Wagner?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And I ain't sure what the chad.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
I ain't through with it yet, Agnes, I keep forgetting
who your English teacher was. Was it Tony Galento or
Slapsy Maxie Rosenblue?

Now they were the ones who taught me embroidery. Here's
the newspaper, Honey.
Speaker 5 (07:55):

silver lining. I have a letter from a lady who
signs herself Melancholy Baby.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
It reads, Dear Uncle good Heart.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
I am a bride of fifteen years. The first two
days of our marriage were divine. Then I began noticing
little things about my husband. Every night, he would sneak
out and set things on.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Fire houses, factories, stars. At first I tried to overlook these.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Things because because they made him laugh.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
And easy to get along with.
Speaker 6 (13:52):
About of months ago, a disturbing thing happened.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
I woke up in the middle of the night.

The fines of my husband had soaked my foot in
gasoline and was about.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
To light it. I kidded him out of it.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
However, now, for some unknown reason, I cannot sleep as
well as.
Speaker 2 (14:14):

drifting apart. Dear Uncle good.
Speaker 7 (14:21):

our marriage? Signed?

the cookie washley. Having babies bringing them up isn't enough
for a happy marriage. You must be a pelled to
your husband. You must share his interests. And so, Melancholy Baby,
