Speaker 2 (00:20):
The makers of Campbell'sous present The Campbell Playhouse, Arson Wells producer.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Good Evening.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
This is Austin Wells.

Speaker 5 (00:46):
For centuries, the heroes of our popular tales have been killers, outlaws, soldiers.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Knights in arma, warrior kings.

Speaker 5 (00:56):
Only recently within the memory of most of you were
listening tonight, has the healer become a hero. The man
who is skillful in making people whole instead of.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Cutting him up. The man who strives to persevere life
rather than to destroy it.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Tonight's story is one of the first of the recent
series of books, plays.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
And films about men of medicine.

Speaker 5 (01:23):
In nineteen thirtieth authorm aster Sinclair Lewis was awarded the
Nobel Prize for Literature. Eight years ago, Aerosmith was made
into a motion picture. The star of that picture was
Miss Helen Hayes. She is here tonight to play in
the Campbell Playhouse the same role that she created on
the screen.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Would be an impertinence for me to attempt.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Any sort of an introduction one of the greatest and
most versatile actresses of our times. And I needn't tell
you how proud and happy my sponsor and I and
all of us in the.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Campbell Playhouse are in having her.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
With us tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
But just now I'd like you to hear a word
from Ernesto.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
I think you'll agree that when women buy far more
of one soup than of any other, that soup must
have something.

Speaker 7 (02:14):
Very special about it.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Such a soup is Campbell's Tomatoes. It has a flavor
that good home cooks and professional.

Speaker 7 (02:21):
Chefs degree has never been equaled.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
This magic flavor is the result of a recipe perfected
by Campbell's chefs and painstakingly followed at every step.

Speaker 7 (02:30):
It calls for Campbell's doone tedigreed.

Speaker 6 (02:32):
Tomatoes, big firm, luscious duties developed specially to give glorious.

Speaker 7 (02:36):
Color and grand flavor to this.

Speaker 6 (02:38):
Most popular of all soups.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Their bright, tanging, invigorating goodness is skillfully blended with fine
table butter and gentle seasoning to make a tomato soup
that almost everybody likes. How often do you have this
outstanding favorite.

Speaker 7 (02:52):
Soup at your house?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Why not look over your soup supply and be sure
of having Campbell's Tomato soup on hand.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
For this weekend. And now for the night story, the.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Campbell Playhouse presents Arrowsmith, starring Helen Hayes and Arson Wells.

Speaker 8 (03:26):
Doctor Martine Arrowsmith, in the name of His Majesty King
Gustav of Sweden, and on behalf of the honored members
of the Nobel Prize Committee, it is my privilege.

Speaker 9 (03:38):
To welcome you to the imminent fellowship of those who,
in the realms of science, art and literature, have rendered
distinguished service to the preservation and betterment of humankind. In
recognition therefore of your brilliant achievement in the fields of
bacteriology and physical chemistry, and your unsworthy devotion to the

(04:00):
it's of good I am.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
I have the owner to present to you, Martin Aerosmith,
at my name. On all sides of mesis leading men
of science looking down at me. I recognize some of

(04:25):
their faces. That man in the eye of the right
and the one just in the back of them last
year's Chemistry Awards.

Speaker 6 (04:33):
This is the longest walk I can remember from my
seat in the back of.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
The hall down to this platform, A twenty one year walk.
I started it with two others, with Leora and doctor Gottlieb.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Now I'm finishing it alone.

Speaker 6 (04:54):
I started it twenty one years ago, one September evening,
and the chemistry be alive at Winnimac class to addressed
till I remember not too close in the assistent holding
a guinea.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Pig by its legs.

Speaker 6 (05:07):
Doctor Godley dipped his hand in the bichloride solution and
shook them a quick shake, fingers down like the fingers
of a pianist.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Above the keys took a hypogenic needle from.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
The intimate bass and life.

Speaker 6 (05:24):
With no time sure that in the bottom of the
pundler there was cotton to keep the subs from being broken.
I cannot advise breaking tools because antasist germs, and afterwards
getting the hands into the culture, you might clearly get
antrax spoiled, or you might style a little young. I
shall now inoculate the second guinea pig and the glass

(05:47):
will be dismissed.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Doctor Godley.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
Doctor Gotlin said yes, yes, oh, Professor gott my name
is Arason and Martin Arison. I'm a medical freshman Winnemac DA.
I liked offer to take bacteriology this fa in stead
of next year.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
See, I've had a lot of cheminos.

Speaker 6 (06:10):
Oh it is not time for you.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
I know I could do it.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
Now. Let's you say your name is parosmiths sir, well,
allow Smith's. Have you taken physical chemistry? No, sir, but
I did pretty well in organic organic chemistry, boys chemistry,
state chemistry, drug store chemistry. Physical chemistry is power, it
is exactness, it is life. But organic chemistry that is

(06:33):
a trade for pot washers, Well, you are too young.
Come back in a year.

Speaker 3 (06:40):
That year was a time of waiting. I took the.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
First year of medical courses and passed them. I learned
the proper sugar coated pills and phrases.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Comforsations with while you estimated how much you could charge them.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Most of the professors at Winnemac weren't teaching science. They
were simply preparing us for a trade, and that was
all Most of the students wanted knowledge that they could
cash in on. They didn't talk about saving lives, but about.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Losing cases, losing dollars.

Speaker 6 (07:12):
My second year, I took doctor Godlieb's bacteriology course. In
that winter, I spent more time with guinea pigs, mice
and rats when with people. I lived in a world
of test tubes filled with watery serum or deadly but
still ive roaring.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Bumps and frames and steaming sterilizers. Hello, Ira, slip oh, hello,
Professor Gotti, who were.

Speaker 6 (07:34):
Working late to night. Let me see your side?

Speaker 4 (07:38):
Sure mm h.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Er slip your as prasmanship.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Thank you, sir.

Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, there is an art in science for if you.
I see you already, and I watched you in the
lab before. Uh, let me see your notes? Yes, hm hm,
that's next thing you would like to try to finish.
When I was a sleeping sickness, it's very very interesting
and very ticklish to handle. It's quite a nice disease.

(08:07):
In some villages in Africa, fifty percent of the people
have it, but it is invariably fatal. Notes are not bad,
but they can still be more complete aerosmith. The most
important part of living is not the living, but pondering
upon it. The most important part of experimentation is not
doing the experiment, but making notes, very accurate notes. I'm

(08:31):
trying to do better with my notes, Professor. I want
to do research like you, Professor Godlian, You've accomplished so much.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
The whole world knows what you've done.

Speaker 6 (08:39):
Oh no, I have done nothing except the unpleasant to
people that claim too much. But I have dreams of
real discovery someday, and for that I need help. You
see Aerosmith, not five times in five years do I
have a student who understands craftsmanship and precision and maybe
some people imagination in hypotheses. I think perhaps you may

(09:00):
one day be such a student, and perhaps we can
help each other.

Speaker 7 (09:05):
You and I.

Speaker 6 (09:06):
So now it is midnight. I would be pleased if
you should come to my room and have a little sandwich.
I'd asmit them we can talk some more. Doctor Godley
appointed me as student laboratory assistant.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
I felt very important.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
One day in April I went over to the Xena's
Hospital for a strain of Pascilla's for patient.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
Can I help you, doctor Gottlie, it's assistant. I'm looking
for doctor Twinton's patient war D number seventeen, the second floor,
third or the light in.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
The passage there was a young pro patienter on her
knees on the floor.

Speaker 6 (09:38):
Her yellow hair had fallen over her eyes, and her
green and white uniform with a scrubby.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
As a pail of scrub water.

Speaker 10 (09:44):
Hey, hey, would you walk up on this sad piece.
I'm still scrubbing over there, will you?

Speaker 3 (09:50):
I do I'm sorry to interrupt your works with softly
important Well.

Speaker 10 (09:53):
It isn't a superintendent of nurses put me at scrubbing you.
I'd ever suppose the scrub flaws. And because she caught
me smoking this for the rest, he's no terror. She
found a childlike you wandering around here, she drag you
off of the ears.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
Cause my impression that even probation has learned that the
first duty of a nurse is to stand when addressing
a doctor. I'd like to find war d to take
a train of a very dangerous microbe. And if you
will kindly direct.

Speaker 10 (10:18):
I'm getting fresh again. I didn't mean to be rude.
I was just scrubbing makes me bad tempered. I'm sorry
I hurt your feelings. But you do things for young for.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
A doctor, I'm not, I'm a medical student. I was
showing off, so was I.

Speaker 10 (10:36):
Out him so stiffy.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Let me help you. Thanks pretty hard. That's training for
nursing agains.

Speaker 10 (10:41):
Not so awful, but it's about as romantic as bring
a hired girl. That's what we call him in Dakota.

Speaker 7 (10:47):
Come from Dacorta.

Speaker 10 (10:48):
I come from the most enterprising town and the entire
state of North Dakota, Weensylvania. It's called it has three
hundred and sixty two inhabitants.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Are you in the U medical school now, I'm a
junior in Mahallas.

Speaker 10 (10:59):
Oh, they just good.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
I don't know. I'm not much for a medical there.
I like the lab side.

Speaker 5 (11:02):
I think it'd be a bacteriologist time. Not much for
the bedside manner.

Speaker 10 (11:06):
I'm glad you enough you get it and hear plenty
you ought to hear some of the doctors. What are
the sweetest old pussies with their patients? The way they
bail out the nurses? But lad, now they seem sort
of real what I've seen of them. I don't thard
you can bluff a bacteria? What is a bacteria? No?

Speaker 3 (11:23):
There?

Speaker 6 (11:24):
See?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
What do they call you?

Speaker 6 (11:26):
Me? Oh?

Speaker 10 (11:28):
It's an idiotic name?

Speaker 6 (11:30):
Leora Tozer?

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Whatta it's fine? Do you really think to see when
you get away from the hospital for dinner, you go
out with me? Say tonight? What?

Speaker 6 (11:42):
Please?

Speaker 7 (11:44):
All right?

Speaker 10 (11:45):
We go to grand No, that's terribly extensive unless you're
awfully rich.

Speaker 6 (11:48):
You want just enough money gets through medical school. But
I'd awfully like to show you.

Speaker 10 (11:52):
Let's good to the Jews it's a nurse place, and
it isn't extensive, and they got a funny machine there
when you drop Nichols and it plays brassy kind of
tones like a merryga.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
See.

Speaker 10 (12:01):
I'm glad you're so crazy about your lab work, because well,
everybody was perfectly sane where I came from. I got
awful tired of being crazy all alone.

Speaker 6 (12:15):
The present, even with the vest of the research.

Speaker 7 (12:17):
Has been largely amount of trial and arra.

Speaker 6 (12:19):
The empirical method it's called you try to establish a
general loss, you can predict what will happen the next time,
the time after that, And that's what God leads all
these detailed, grubbing, machine made researches. Do you know what
I mean?

Speaker 10 (12:29):
Yes, I think I do. Anyway, I get the way
you feel about him. You don't have to shout, though
you know I.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Didn't mean to.

Speaker 6 (12:36):
I mean when I get to think about the way,
most of these props don't even know what God leads
up to the way those idiots don't even see the
relations of his work on the sentences of added body,
his discoveries of erroneous geese.

Speaker 3 (12:48):
You are hope I'm not boring you. I'm loving I
get so technical and so noisy. You didn't even stop
me and tell me how I have better manners.

Speaker 10 (12:57):
I don't see anything wrong with your manner, don't. Surely
has someone been trying to bring you up?

Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah, but not with any success.

Speaker 10 (13:04):
Listen, I like having you trust me. I'm not earnest
and I haven't any brains whatever. But I do love
it when my men think I'm intelligent enough to hear
what they really think.

Speaker 6 (13:14):
Tell me about yourself. I've always known you, le Are.
I'm not going to let you go no matter what.
You're gonna marry me.

Speaker 10 (13:30):
Yes, I guess I am.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
At the end of my medical course. Leora and I
were married at the City Hall. Zena.

Speaker 10 (13:48):
You're mine now, darling. I warn you, it isn't going
to be a good use of you ever. Looking at
any other woman again, I tear her eyes out. Oh,
you needn't think so well of yourself. You'll be happy
with me because you can bully me, because I'll tie
dof to.

Speaker 11 (14:04):
You the way no one else ever would. I'm stupid
and ordinary, Oh yes i am, But I worship you.
I know your work more important than I am.

Speaker 10 (14:15):
Maybe more important than you are. More Oh, Martin, I
do love you.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Soon we lived at Zena's hospital, or I did. She
lived out of town.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
I saw as often as I.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
Could, but I didn't go near doctor Godley.

Speaker 5 (14:34):
The old man never said anything, but I remember the
way he shook his head when he looked over the
notes on my last half hearted experiments and my duties
as an eng and.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Kept me too busy to do much regretting.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
I saw Gothy once more before I left zeen It.

Speaker 4 (14:52):
One night I was off duty.

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Leora and I were walking home from the movies, and
ahead of us, the tall, stoopid figure of a man
appeared coming towards us, slowly down the street under the
street lines.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Suddenly, so he's said, bother, what didn't you? You'll remember him,
doctor Godley? Remember how is everything? I think he's fine.

Speaker 6 (15:13):
I mean I'm getting along, I guess, doctor Godley. But
I want you to meet my wife, missus Adismith.

Speaker 10 (15:19):
Doctor Gottlieb, I'm glad to know you.

Speaker 6 (15:21):
Thank you your husband. He was a good chaser of
little bugs. Sometime, Missus Adawsmith.

Speaker 10 (15:28):
Make him remember, yes, doctor, I will good night, good night.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Good night, doctor Godlieb.

Speaker 10 (15:37):
So that's your doctor Gottlieb.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, and they are. How does he strike you?

Speaker 10 (15:43):
I think he's the greatest man I've ever seen. I
don't know how I know, but he is. I wish,
I wish we were going to see him again. He's
the first man I ever laid eyes on it. I'd
leave you, saw Martin if he wanted me. He's always
like a sword. No, he's like a brain walking. Oh,

(16:05):
he looked a wretched I wanted to cry. I'd blat
a shoe with Martin.

Speaker 6 (16:11):
Ye.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
So, but we didn't see doctor Godleib again before we
left Zenas. The Artist family wanted to come to their
town in Dakota when I had finished my training. The
office to finance me while I started my practice. So
soon after we arrived they held a family council, with
missus Toza presiding.

Speaker 10 (16:34):
I have a nice idea, Martin, why can't we seek
you up in office out in the barn. It would
be so handy to the house and we could get
to Leo up on time. You could keep an eye
on the house. I don't think you want to, Oh, yes,
the old harness room. It's part to see you, and
we could put in some nice talk paper.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Or you can do what the ticness you think I'm
planning to do.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
I'm not a hired man in a delivery state where
a kid looking for a place for his birthday.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Because I was thinking of opening an office as a physician.

Speaker 7 (16:59):
Yeah, we aren't much of a position.

Speaker 6 (17:01):
Yet, you're just getting your toes in.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
They aren't good physician, Bruce.

Speaker 7 (17:05):
I like here him r as we're putting up the money.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
I don't want to be as tight wad. But after all,
a dollar is a dollar. If we furnished the door,
we've got to decide the best way to spend it,
isn't That's all?

Speaker 10 (17:17):
Pop? Look, father, I want you to lend us one
thousand dollars out right to use as we SEASEI.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
One thousand dollars.

Speaker 10 (17:24):
I'll pay you six percent.

Speaker 6 (17:26):
No, we won't.

Speaker 10 (17:26):
We'll pay five.

Speaker 6 (17:27):
That's enough when mortgage is bringing six, seven and eight.

Speaker 10 (17:30):
Five's enough. And we want our own say absolute as
to how we use it. We picked up an office
or anything else.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
Nah, Leo, you're crazy.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
I suppose we'll have to lend you some money, but
you'll brain well come to us for it from time
to time, and you'll brain well take hard bite Bertie,
and the barn's plenty good enough.

Speaker 10 (17:47):
Pertie, I know what we'll do. You seem to have
the barn in your brains. Ah, you moved your old
banks there, and Martin will take the bank building for
his own.

Speaker 6 (17:55):
You too, showing off and trying to be smart.

Speaker 10 (17:58):
Either you do what I say, just exactly what I say,
or Martin, I take the first train back to Zena,
and I mean it. Twenty of places open from there
with a big salaries, so we won't have to be
dependent on anybody.

Speaker 6 (18:08):
Well now, or it don't take it that way.

Speaker 10 (18:13):
Well, do we get our thousand dollars or do we
go back to Zenas.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
We are a one out?

Speaker 4 (18:19):
I got.

Speaker 3 (18:20):
My office was in a rickety building near the station.
We nailed a new sign on the door on it,
we're gold letters Martin.

Speaker 10 (18:28):
Aris, Miss M D.

Speaker 6 (18:32):
G. Martin.

Speaker 10 (18:32):
It looks grand and it's fun having a place all
your own, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (18:38):
I wish the patients has start coming in. It kind
of expected a few of them today.

Speaker 10 (18:43):
Ah, you don't know this town. The farmers will watch
that sign until the shine's all off, and then one
of them will maybe have the courage to try the
new gospel.

Speaker 3 (18:50):
Well I'm I going to do. Just sit here and wait.

Speaker 10 (18:52):
Come over here, Martin. I'll show you what you're going
to do. Be this old box. Well, here's an order
I swipe from home. You're going to bore holes in
that box. Just picking up the whole test tube and
I'm leading up an oven contraction for a slider. You
figured it all that out for me, No, not for you,

(19:13):
for an old man who believes in you.

Speaker 4 (19:17):
My first patient had an ulcerated soothe.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
I pulled it.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
The second to run a fish hook in his finger.
I cauterized the wound. Both stations lived. I expected a
stream of patients from then on. I even made a
first installment on a forward car. And I was awakened
one morning at three.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
O'clock Martin, Martin, wake up a telephone. Hello, Hello, Yes,
this is doc speaking.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Henry Novak. Le yep, see since last night. All right,
I'll drive right over.

Speaker 6 (20:00):
H meant to know that doctor, come in. Yes, that's it,
this way, doctor, the little one is briefly, God, I
know that.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Quickly, Yeah, Davy Dady, open your mouth.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
That's a good girl.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
Here your hand.

Speaker 7 (20:25):
Here's the water. Doctor always she.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
M come over another. God three sick.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
Looks like the seal thoughts the matter talk will injected.

Speaker 6 (20:38):
Sonny chap he is doctor, she very seeking for it,
So I gave. It's my clothes, child, nappings.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
Anything there's don't want to be moist to keep water

Speaker 6 (21:01):
What's wrong?

Speaker 7 (21:02):
Doctor? She's so still?

Speaker 6 (21:03):
Suddenly stop.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Leora.

Speaker 6 (21:16):
It was my fault, Martin.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
D I should have operated.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
I should have operated.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
You'd be all right now operate.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
Did the wrong thing.

Speaker 10 (21:24):
You did all you could, Martin, probably all anyone could do.
They called you too late time.

Speaker 6 (21:29):
I'll never practiced medicine again.

Speaker 3 (21:30):
I'll never stop playing those things.

Speaker 7 (21:34):
I'm true.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
I'm no good. I can't face people in this town
when they know about it.

Speaker 6 (21:37):
True, I'm true, Martin.

Speaker 10 (21:39):
Listened to me. Do you really think you're the only
doctor that ever lost the patience? You did your fist?

Speaker 3 (21:47):
I get some street, Martin, Well, I did get over it.
In a couple of years.

Speaker 7 (21:55):
I built up a pretty fair practice.

Speaker 5 (21:57):
It's wheat Sylvania. I became a director of Bert Tozer's Bank.
It was a good life in a way.

Speaker 6 (22:09):
In the summer, the aora and I drove over the
Pony River for a picnic.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Suppers and for swimming.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
In autumn it was duck hunting, the winter's play rise
and socialist. Then one day, my fourth year there some Dailius,
the great scientist and plague fighter, came to Minneapolis election.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
I made a sixty mile trip to hear him. After
the lecture, I waited to talk to them.

Speaker 4 (22:34):
There were things I wanted to ask him.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
He invited me to a beer garden. How did he
like my lecture? I like to find doctor San Davis.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Oh, it's hot tonight. I've been lecturing nine times a
week the morning for George Lacrosse eug Goe. I forget.
Was it all right? Really?

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Honestly, I've I've never enjoyed Annix.

Speaker 7 (22:52):
Much of my life, all Smith.

Speaker 6 (22:54):
I hated my lecture, But you will make me feel
like a prophet. Come have another great right, there's a hygienist.
I were on alcohol and excessive qualities is almost as
bad as ice cream soda. But it's one fond of talking.
I find a nice long glass of larger great sovereign
for human idiotcy I don't remember now then, my friend,
what do you wish to know?

Speaker 3 (23:11):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 6 (23:12):
Doctor, I'd like you to terms. I have city health
gurreas in Europe they do. They are only less ineffectual
than our own. See that girl at the table over there? Yes,
what ankles?

Speaker 7 (23:23):
What shoulders?

Speaker 6 (23:24):
And ah, this is a good deal, Alicebith, that's some
more lecturing, such nonsense. I would give it up wearing
dress clothes on a night's like the show doctor. Do
you know doctor Gottlieb Gotley? If I should say, I
know him. He is now at the Institute of McGirk.
Gottlieb has done some great experiments. Great Gottley would not
sit here balling like me. You know, God leaves its

(23:46):
hollow and works makes me look like a circus clown.
He showed me what a fool I am. He is
the spirit of science. He is the leader in a
fight to push his Jesus off her.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
He wanted me to work with him once.

Speaker 6 (24:01):
Yeah, I guess that's what I should have done. I
just thinkered a lot of worn out bodies. Someday, my
dear young fellow, instead of peddling pills, maybe you will
follow me a gutlieb. We're in the same we scientists.
We must work together to make a new world, good
world for men to live in. Hey wait.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
That winter, I did some experiments on the relation of
the mollison production of the age of culture. My findings
were published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, and then
things began.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
To change for me.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
In Wwennsylvania, an epidemic of black leg broke out among
the cattle in Princeton County, and the state veterinarian had
been called, but the disease was spreading. For the ord's help,
I made a new vaccine in my homemade lab. I
injected cattle without.

Speaker 7 (24:50):
Charge, and the disease stopped.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
The veterinaries sent in a complaints to the state Board
of Health reporting my inexperance.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
And then I discovered that the farmer's wife was a
typhoid carry a section where the disease was trebling.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
I demanded that she be quarantined, and the community rose
up in arms about it. The meeting was held demanding
my removal, but the quarantine was enforced and the typhoid
of course disappeared. Then I made the mistake that finished me.
In Pennsylvania, two farmers' children fell ill. I diagnosed their

(25:21):
cases as smallpox and demanded several vaccinations throughout the county.
Cases turned out to be chicken pox. After that, life
became impossible. In August, the R and I went the
county fair.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
I remember on the fairgrounds I seem to cause more
interest among the farmers than any of the exhibits. Why God,
come on over and see my lewis smallpox and.

Speaker 10 (25:48):
How are you today?

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Not a people.

Speaker 10 (25:53):
Taking you? Not playing enough?

Speaker 6 (25:58):
More?

Speaker 9 (25:58):
Small pox taken?

Speaker 6 (25:59):
Bad gone out there? What's coming to seers?

Speaker 9 (26:02):
On a small box?

Speaker 6 (26:03):
The LiTi here them Broadway, Well you should go in
for fancy disease and talk.

Speaker 10 (26:09):
Ain't weld any com.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Yeah, look, I'm likely are nice, work it out there.
Nothing more I can do here. Take years before they
trust me again.

Speaker 10 (26:27):
I'm glad Martin, You're too good for them here.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
I've learned a little something here, even if I've failed. Yeah,
I guess I don't know how to handle people.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Are so I could stick it on.

Speaker 6 (26:37):
I would except a life short and I think I'm
a good worker in some ways.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
Got lead sort. Maybe I'll still get a chance.

Speaker 10 (26:47):
Why do we go, Martin?

Speaker 6 (26:49):
I have the slightest idea from where I can be useful.

Speaker 10 (26:53):
He's first being married here. I expected to be a
pillar of the community. Now I'll have to follow you
out on the road and your whole well, I'm too
lazy to look up a new husband, Martin. Yeah, remember

(27:14):
that old doctor Godfide gave his the first night we
were together, and told it to me. Say it again, Martin, Nor.

Speaker 6 (27:23):
I don't try.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
I don't know if I remember it, phemus.

Speaker 6 (27:31):
God give me unclouded eyes.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
And freedom from hate.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
God give me quiet and relentless anger against all pretense
and all pretentious work, and all work left slack and unfinished.
God give me a restlessness whereby I may neither sleep
nor accept pray till my observed results equal my calculated results,

(28:06):
or in pious glee I discover and assault my error.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
God give me strength that trust is God.

Speaker 2 (28:38):
You are listening to the Campbell Playhouse presentation of Aerosmith
Darning Helen Hayes and Arson Wells. This is the Columbia
Broadcasting Criston. This is Ernest Chappell, welcoming you back to

(29:17):
the Campbell Playhouse. In a moment or two, we will
resume our presentation of Arrowsmith by Saint Clair Lewis Darling,
Helen Hayes.

Speaker 7 (29:24):
And Austin Wells.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
This is a play about doctors, and the doctor is
one servant of humanity we all know and respect, and
in our varying ways appreciate.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
Of course, doctor Aerosmith is a research man, and the.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Doctor you and I know best is a general practitioner
of family doctor. But both of them work for the
greater health and happiness of humanity, one in his laboratory,
the other right here in our homes. The family doctor
keeps a vigilant eye on the welfare of our children,
advises us on their sleep and exercise, and their diet.

Speaker 7 (29:57):
Most doctors, for.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Instance, degree that every boy or girl should have at
least a quart of milk each day. In this connection,
I'd like to tell you of a pleasant and practical
way to give your children more milk. Have cream soup frequently.
Nearly every youngster is fond of soup, especially such favorites
as Campbell's tomato or pea, or celery or asparagus. Simply

(30:22):
make them extra nourishing by adding good, wholesome milk instead
of water. I am sure it will do your heart
good to see how children go for any of them,
because you know they are getting the good food value
of soup and the high nutritional benefits of milk.

Speaker 7 (30:37):
Let me repeat the soups I mentioned before.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
Campbell's tomato soup, Campbell's pea soup, Campbell's celery soup.

Speaker 7 (30:44):
Campbell's asparagus soup.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
I wish I had the time to describe each of
them to you, but I urge you to serve them
and find out for yourself how good they are. And remember,
when combined with milk, each of them becomes still more nourishing.
We resume our Campbell Playhouse presentation of Arrowsmith, starring Helen
Hayes and Orson Wells.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
Through doctor Gottlieb, I got a position at the Girk
Institute of New York.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
My laboratory there was the finest I've ever seen.

Speaker 5 (31:24):
I had a trained assistant, I had all the apparatus
known to research, and in the midst of all this
white tile, scientific splendor, Doctor Gottlieb was waiting for me.

Speaker 6 (31:37):
Oh, doctor Gottley Martin, this is very good. You are
near to me. My laboratory is just three doors down
to How greatful I am to you? Doctor gratitude bar.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
How is that girl you married? She's fine, doctor, I
have an idea.

Speaker 6 (31:50):
She's good for you.

Speaker 7 (31:51):
That little girl.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
Yeah, she make you work oka here, Doctor Godlin, do
you really think I know enough to work here?

Speaker 3 (31:59):
I want to tell probly to succeed. Succeed.

Speaker 6 (32:03):
I have heard that word.

Speaker 4 (32:06):
It is English.

Speaker 6 (32:07):
Oh yeah, it is a word that little school boys
use at the University of Winnemac. It means passing examinations,
but not medically clear. You know something of laboratory technique.
You have heard about these Bacillia. You are not a
good chemist, and mathematics poor, most terrible. But you have

(32:30):
curiosity and you are stubborn. Therefore, I think you will
either make a very good scientist or a.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Very bad one.

Speaker 6 (32:39):
This is your chance to find out, Arrowsmith. I want
to work that year trying to produce some more effective
and attacks and treating of tropical diseases.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
My farm. At first, I made bad experiments with no results.
I tried again, day after day, week after week.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
Once, for a few hours, I thought I'd found something.

Speaker 10 (33:15):
In your home movie. I am I'm just separated, but
I'll make it right away. You're probably want to get
back in a hurry.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
Huh. No, I'm not going back to Labin, not tonight, Leora,
tell you what. Let's go out to dinner and the
movies are sending. Huh.

Speaker 10 (33:29):
What's the matter? Do you suddenly feel that you had
to entertain me?

Speaker 3 (33:34):
I don't want to go back to lab. I oh,
I ever want to go back.

Speaker 7 (33:40):
Today.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
I thought i'd made some progress. I took my notes
to doctor God.

Speaker 6 (33:43):
He assured me moesterday or I'm tired out. In eight
months here at mcgok, I've done nothing. I haven't been
worth my keep.

Speaker 10 (33:50):
Has the director said anything has got me?

Speaker 6 (33:53):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (33:53):
They're all kind and patient, expect me to accomplish something.

Speaker 10 (33:58):
But you have tuxes. You've almost got it.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
It's almost But you can inoculate people with a serum.

Speaker 7 (34:05):
That's almost right.

Speaker 6 (34:06):
I can't just go on forever experimenting and failing every time.
I'm beginning to think I've got the habit of failing.

Speaker 10 (34:12):
Martin, listen to me. You put that coat back on.

Speaker 3 (34:18):
Huh.

Speaker 10 (34:18):
I'm not cooking supper tonight, and I'm not going out
to eat with you, you'll go right back to that
lab and keep trailing after those little bugs, and you're
going to forget about me like you usually do. And
when you come home at midnight, there'll be a plate
of sandwiches on the table here. And then if you've
been real good, you can go to bed.

Speaker 6 (34:34):
Not go on put on your coat.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Because that night I noticed the curious thing almost under
my eyes.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
A flask of cloudy bacteria suddenly cleared some unknown organism
that destroyed the germs in my kolture.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
So I spent five days and five nights in the
labne or.

Speaker 5 (34:48):
I slipped in with sandwiches and coffee, and then slipped
out again. I'm noticed on the evening of the fifth
day I isolated the germ killers.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
I called it the ex principle.

Speaker 5 (34:56):
I went out, got drunk, and I slept for two days.
The third day I went back to the McGirk Institute.
There was a message from doctor Gody to go and
see him.

Speaker 6 (35:06):
Well, Martin, I have something I must say to you.
Mister McGirk has talked to me. He has heard of
this discovery of yours, this exprinci her. He's very happy.
He wishes to establish you here a for you, a
new department of pathology.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
But you has headed What shall I do? Doc Darlin?

Speaker 4 (35:27):
Right?

Speaker 6 (35:27):
Seth h No, Martin, I don't think you will. Why not?

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Sure?

Speaker 6 (35:33):
I something sort of bad? Uh? Well, perhaps not altogether
bad has happened bad? Oh, in a way, there is
a pity Martin.

Speaker 4 (35:44):
What I have to tell you?

Speaker 6 (35:45):
You are not the discoverer of the ex principle? What
someone else has done it?

Speaker 1 (35:53):
I have not.

Speaker 6 (35:55):
I searched all literature except for Bernstey. Not one person's
even more.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
Doctor God, he means it.

Speaker 6 (36:02):
All I've done all these months has just been wasted.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
And I'm a fool anyway.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
The Bois, the Pastor Institute, has just now published in
the Conrand this report is your ex principal absolute only
he calls it that tereo thing.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
Hard.

Speaker 4 (36:21):
Maybe I need to care him.

Speaker 6 (36:23):
Of course you could claim to be coldest of him,
to spend the rest of your life fighting to get recognized.
Or you could forget it and write a nice letter
congratulating to Bois and go back to work.

Speaker 3 (36:36):
I'll go back to work. He has to do, I
guess h mcgirkle chuck in your department.

Speaker 6 (36:43):
Oh yeah, there's no doubt I have time to finish
my research. Maybe I get some points at the bar
and hit on and I'll publish it to corroborate him.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
Here the report, doctor. I suppose I suppose now you're
glad that I'm saying from being a success I ought
to be.

Speaker 6 (37:03):
It is a scene against my religion that I am not.
But I am getting old, and you're my friend. I
am sorry that you are not to have the fun
of being potentious and successful for a while. Martin. It
is nice that you will cooperate to go that is science,

(37:23):
to work, and not to care too much if somebody else.

Speaker 4 (37:28):
Gets the credit.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
So now I threw myself into the task of making
a serum to combat all kinds of diseases, or immunized
for rabbits against pneumonia, and found that the immunity spread
to other rabbits. Then I injected rats with deadly buvonic
germs and produced an immunity as a plague, and.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
My lad became known as the pest house. I've practically
lived in it. Then one day a visitor came to
the institute.

Speaker 6 (37:53):
Oh my boy, that night we drive so much longer.
I remember I had to carry you to hotel.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Well, doctor Hannah, notion is the other way around.

Speaker 6 (38:03):
No matter, we help each other. Well, what did I
tell you, Alison? You belong in such a place as this,
chasing diseases off the earth. They tell me you made
defines here I'm still making him. How would you like
me to help you, Martin? Oh no, No, not here
in the laboratory, in the big laboratory of the world,
place where we fight the plague like bubonic is not
on the island State Hubert, sooner be spread through the

(38:26):
West Indies from there, who knows. Thanks, And there I
have to finish my experiment. I'm still not sure of
my serum. Maybe later, Martin, listen to me. You can
be sure of your ceremony one way by texting, but
not on guinea pig's on human beings. My boy, come
with Sunday, Lister Saint Hubert. I couldn't promise I'd have

(38:46):
speak to doctor g I've spoken to them already. Yeah,
we've been plotting against you. I both leads. There After tomorrow, Martin,
we'll have such good fun and maybe we wipe out
old devil b Bannick.

Speaker 3 (38:59):
Huh, I'm going with you, Martin. No, lear, I'm not
going with me what I am.

Speaker 6 (39:07):
It's not safe with you purely, of course it is.

Speaker 10 (39:10):
You can shoot your old serum into me and I'll
be absolutely all right. Oh, I have a husband who's
curious things I have. I'm going to grow in a
lot of money on tin dresses. So I bet some
Hubert isn't one bit hotter than the coda on an argy.

Speaker 6 (39:23):
Darling, Listen, I do think the serum will immunize against
the plague. You bet. I'll be mighty well injected with
it myself. But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
Even if we're practice perfect, always be some people who
wouldn't protect her.

Speaker 6 (39:36):
Stop.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
We can't go, sweet Martin.

Speaker 10 (39:38):
Don't you know I haven't any life outside of you.
I might have had, but honestly, I've been glad to
let you absorb me. I'm I'm lazy and useless and ignorant,
except maybe I can keep you comfortable if you were
off there and I didn't know you were all right,
or if you died and somebody else cared for your
body that I've loved to. I go mad. I mean it,

(40:03):
can't you see I mean it? I go mad. It's
just I k you that's gotta be with you, and
our will help you make your serum and everything. You
know how often I've helped you, and maybe in sent Huberts,
maybe you wouldn't find anybody that could help you even
mind little bit I'll cook an make it harder for me.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
It's gonna be hard enough in any.

Speaker 10 (40:21):
Case, Martin, don't you dare use those old, stuck up
expressions that husband's been strolling out your wife forever and ever.
I'm not a wife anymore than you're a husband. Oh
you're a rotten husband. You negret me. Absolutely. The only
time you know what got on is when some button
slips and then you bow me out. But I don't care.
I'd rather have you than a good husband. And besides, I'm.

Speaker 6 (40:46):
Going Doc Godley, Yeah, yeah, who is it?

Speaker 4 (40:55):
It's me, Doc Godley.

Speaker 3 (40:57):
But I've come to say goodbye.

Speaker 6 (41:00):
Goodbye. You know that has such a final sound. But
perhaps you're right, Perhaps we don't see each other again,
Eric Smith, I am growing old, and I have my words.
You are a man, and you are a genuine worker now,
but I don't mind if I give you some advice.

(41:23):
God Baby, I don't be sure you don't let anything
not even your own kind heart spoil your experiment. To
Saint you, remember to use the serreum with only heart
your patients, and keep the others as controls under normal
hygienic conditions, but without the serum. Pay no attention to

(41:44):
what San Dalia says. He is a great man, but
he is not a scientist. So many men, Martin are
kind and neighborly. So you have added to knowledge. You
have the chance. You may be the man that ends
old plague. You must have pity, but not for those

(42:05):
whould be dying. You must have pity for generation after
generation yet to come. That is Shoubert Martin, And whatever
God there is, may he bless you.

Speaker 3 (42:20):
I promised to do what you say.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
Doctor.

Speaker 6 (42:22):
Well, maybe old godlib would have helped tool.

Speaker 5 (42:25):
Maybe we are And I sailed the next day from Hoboken,
very late one night. In ten days later, our ship
dropped anchor in the harbor of Saint Hubert's. The island

(42:46):
was quarantine, so no one was taken on board. Some
Daelia's Leora.

Speaker 4 (42:51):
And I stood alone on the deck.

Speaker 3 (42:54):
I'm shure we spied a few lights.

Speaker 6 (42:56):
One appeared to be moving toward us, but most of
the times knock and still around us.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
Oh not exactly.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
The doctor stike Saint Louis and parish for all of us,
almost everything nowadays. Poor doctor died a couple of days ago,
and many of you bound the cases you've got.

Speaker 12 (43:27):
Now, Lord knows maybe one thousand, ten million rats, So sleepy, well,
better be going ashore.

Speaker 7 (43:39):
There are help you with your bags.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
Listen the arm You better stay on the ship.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
You better might come see Please.

Speaker 10 (43:47):
Don't not come and meet the secretary and technical assistant.
Do I'm a good commission martyr, Yes, gosh, I'm blue.

Speaker 6 (44:04):
Next morning we woke in the bungalow at the edge
of the town. Poor doctor lived there, but he went
out one morning. I ever came back. After breakfast. We
walked down a silent street. Our shutters was closed.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
A crying woman and the bewildered child.

Speaker 6 (44:23):
Remember following an open wagon on which were heaped a
dozen stiff bodies.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
That afternoon, I started to inject as Gottlieb had.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Instructed me every other man, and they just strapped.

Speaker 3 (44:36):
His wrists, put on high boots, and made ready for
his rat crusade.

Speaker 6 (44:40):
Today, my friends, I was on deals Captain General rat Killers.
If there were no rats. If be no bugs carrying
your bike, But I fixed them. I asked walking to
a place in the rat said here's that old local
good stuff? Where was he? And they turned up their
toes and die, well goodbye?

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Hey, what is it? You're not going out goose towns.
You've had an injection of germ.

Speaker 6 (45:02):
Come on over here, no, Martin, not until you give
up your experiment. Promise to inject all of these people,
every one of them. I know what Gottlieb told you.
Use to inoculate part of the people. Use them for controls,
for guinea pigs. Pay no attention to that wild man sundayliss.
No scientists, I say to Gottlieb. Humanity is more important
than science.

Speaker 5 (45:23):
Science is for humanity. Goods stuff for all humanity, and
not just these people here.

Speaker 10 (45:28):
Who is Martin says, no, Laura.

Speaker 6 (45:32):
I'll do anything for you, but not that. Goodbye children.
I know a law to fight the rats. I shall
break all the laws of poverty. I shall set fire
the warehouses. I shall even burn religies. I shall drive
out the rats from their hiding places. Then I shall
have my fun. I shall sort a ract with clubs.
I shoot them with guns, poison them with cats, and
then when I come back, we great and we celebrate.

Speaker 5 (45:55):
A week later we found sun Dailius lying on the ground,
eyes bloodshine.

Speaker 6 (46:04):
Yeah, they had a fine time with the rats hair tribe.

Speaker 7 (46:09):
Yeah, you like my new village.

Speaker 4 (46:12):
Good stuff.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
What's the trouble your eyes?

Speaker 6 (46:15):
You fever? I think it's got me some flea, got
me flea from one of those rats. I was just thinking,
I'll go.

Speaker 3 (46:26):
And quarantine myself.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
Yeah, I fever.

Speaker 3 (46:29):
All right, Lord, my names a week. That's scared. You know,
I'm gonna take your home goods own will mess you. No,
I vise you so my natures might can.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
Martin got me is right about these.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
Jest of the gods.

Speaker 6 (46:46):
The best one is the topics. Gods planned them so beautiful,
flowers and sea and mountains. They made the fruit to
go so well that the man need not work. And
then they laughed and stuck in volcanoes and snakes and
pete and the plague. The nastiest pick they ever played
on them was inventing your free about to save your strength,

(47:06):
good stuff, you know, put your throng, Gonna give you
a serump right now the time you can't.

Speaker 7 (47:11):
That, and.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
Do not touch fool me.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
It's too late for serving to lay for anything.

Speaker 6 (47:17):
And not afraid, guy Martin. But once more I'd like
to fish stuck on and fifth thousandue in the day
the first snowfalls, and the whole week it's severe one
good last drunk.

Speaker 7 (47:28):
Eh.

Speaker 6 (47:31):
I'm very peaceful, Martyn. It's whets some, but life is
a good game. Martin. Give these poor people to serve,
save all of them, good Man Martin, who, as I say.

Speaker 5 (47:51):
Some dais, became delirious early next morning he died. From
that day I injected everybody who wanted my serum. I
threw away my notes.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
I injected as fat as I could, day and night.

Speaker 5 (48:04):
The plague gradually diminished, and first both the schedule to
clear quarantine a few days.

Speaker 3 (48:09):
My work is almost over.

Speaker 4 (48:12):
We watched the ship dock from the porch of our bungalow.

know I couldn't left. You know why?

Speaker 10 (48:37):
And what are you going to tell doctor Gottley? But
you failed him. That's true, isn't it?

Speaker 6 (48:43):
The fact that the plague diminished as soon as I
had again injection serum proofs.

Speaker 10 (48:48):
Proves nothing, Martin. You know that perhaps the epidemic stopped
of its own accord. You don't know, and you'll never
know until you go through with the experiment. And your
last chance is send swim darling. Let me go with you,
me help with the injection and keeping your notes. Please, Martin,
let's finish our job.

I guess, no.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
Wonder for kid. I'm gonna take your home, put you
to bed.

Speaker 10 (50:28):
You'll do no such thing. You're going to thank your
experiments one more day and you work safe. Nothing's going
to stop you now.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
Well, I have stokes taking down the bungle nonsense.

Speaker 10 (50:39):
You'll need them here. I know my way.

Speaker 6 (50:41):
What's better be.

Speaker 3 (50:42):
Afraid of, Darling.

Speaker 4 (50:43):
You're not afraid of anything, yes.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
One thing?

Speaker 10 (50:46):
Nothing. I'd be afraid if anything happened to this experiment.
It's so near and it's our big snians, Darling. It's
everything we've been working towards. It's our whole life. Well,
i'll be going now.

Speaker 7 (51:02):
I'll come down the house soon as I finished.

Speaker 10 (51:05):
Oh oh, just one thing, Martin. I forgot my second
shot of seerum yesterday. Got out your needle, donty.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
Donny, give me your arm.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
I love your arm.

Speaker 10 (51:21):
Yeah, I love you, Martin, And thanks for bringing me here.
Thanks for well for everything you do, but you don't
know what it means for someone like me who doesn't.
Amunt is so much getting a chance to do with
somebody who does. Oh, Martin, I'm so.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
Proud of you and what you've done, Darlis doayes. Anything
we've accomplished here or anywhere, it's not mine.

Speaker 5 (51:51):
All yours, it's all as together. Say why are we
talking this way to each other? They are uh, nothing wrong,
of course.

Speaker 10 (52:03):
Now, yes it was really talk lungs. But I wouldn't
have missed it. I wouldn't have missed anything, Martin, not
anything in our whole life.

Speaker 6 (52:26):
That night, I injected the last native, collected my notes,
and Stokes drove me back to the bungalow. On the
bed across the folds of torn mosquito netting, I found
Leori's body, very frail and very still.

Speaker 4 (52:50):
I talked to her. I told her everything right, I
don't know what's what I said.

Speaker 6 (53:04):
And that evening I dug a deep pit in the
garden and carried her there, a high and windy garden
looking toward the sea.

Speaker 3 (53:16):
I don't remember when I left the island, how I
got back to New.

Speaker 6 (53:19):
York, how my notes got published, how I got started.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
Working again, I don't remember.

Speaker 6 (53:27):
And now I'm standing in this great hall and I
have a scroll of parchment in my hand. I know
that the world has just honored my work.

Speaker 3 (53:43):
And that this is the loneliest day of my life.

Speaker 2 (54:05):
You have just been listening to the Campbell Playhouse production
of Arrowsmith, Darling, Helen Hayes, and Arson Wells.

Speaker 3 (54:13):
I'm here, he is Arson Wells, Ladies and gentlemen. The road.

Speaker 5 (54:19):
The road, which is what actors call the theater outside
of New York, has had its ups and downs.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
As you know. The last two years during which Miss Hayes.

Speaker 5 (54:28):
Has brought her wonderful performances Victoria and Victoria, Regina to
forty five cities all of the nation must definitely be
called an up. Ms Hayes concluded her engagement in Victoria
only last Saturday.

Speaker 4 (54:41):
After making theatrical history.

Speaker 6 (54:43):
Than very great honor to have her with us to night,
and I'd like you to meet her and Helen. I'm
sure that everyone in the theater and everyone who goes
to the theater is curious about your plans for the future.
What are you going to do next?

Speaker 10 (54:58):
I'm going to take a down good re with.

Speaker 5 (55:01):
Your permission, Miss Hayes, I'll tell our audience what a
ref means to you. It means ladies and gentlemen, going
back to being missus Charles MacArthur, taking care of two
children and the house overlooking Hudson River, Nayak, New York,
and of course overseeing the family farm in the hills
a few miles away. Miss Hayes, am I correctly informed

(55:21):
that the MacArthur family even.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Goes so far as to grow its own milk.

Speaker 10 (55:26):
We do have four jerseys, and we hope that by
economy and careful management, we can eventually get the cost
of our milk down to a dollar a quart.

Speaker 5 (55:33):
I hope you do, Missus MacArthur, and I hope even
more that Helen Hayes will very soon be back with
another play as fine as Victoria Resigna and in behalf
of my sponsors, the makers of Campbell Soups, and all
of us in the Campbell Playhouse.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
I want to thank you for coming here tonight, and
now here's Ernest Chapel.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
In thermometer or two orson Wells will bring us new
of next week's story. A little while ago I spoke
of the excellent flavor of Camboll's tomato soup.

Speaker 7 (56:06):
It is this flavor that has made tomato soup the
most popular soup in all the world, more.

Speaker 6 (56:11):
Often served and eaten than any other. It is this flavor, too,
that accounts for the fact that tomato soup is seldom.

Speaker 7 (56:17):
Made at home.

Speaker 6 (56:18):
You see, the delicious taste of cambo'ts tomato soup is
so widely known, so well liked, that women have come
to feel that making tomato soup at home is a
task that they can dispense with. Indeed, women everywhere can
see that they cannot match the superb flavor of Cambo's
tomato soup. So whether you make soup at home or not,
here's one soup you should buy and keep on hand.

Speaker 7 (56:41):
Your family will like.

Speaker 6 (56:42):
Cambo's Tomato soup, and the chances are they'll like to
have it often. They'll delight in the sunny growing red
of it, the racy aroma that steams up from the plates,
the smooth texture and fine taste of each spoonful first
to last. Why don't you and your family enjoy this
great soup this weekend? Put it on tomorrow's grocery lit

(57:02):
Campbell's Tomato soup. In tonight's presentation in the Campbell Playhouse,
Arson Wells and our guest Helen Hayes was heard in
the rows of Martin, Ali Smith and Leora.

Speaker 6 (57:38):
Now Arson Wells, Will you tell us about next week's show? Well?
Next week. Our story is the classic Shaka, the saga
of an aeroplane that crashed into the private mountains of
a well mannered Rajah whose.

Speaker 3 (57:50):
Wickedest word was law. Somewhere east of the Sun and
west of the Moon.

Speaker 5 (57:56):
The Green Goddess starring Madeline Carol, who will be saved
from my clutches in the nick of time until that
fateful hour on the same station, my sponsor, makers of
