  Speaker 1: Lucks Presents Hollywood The lux Radio Theater brings you Alice Bay,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Edward Arnold, and Victim Mature in Lillian Russell. Ladies and Gentlemen,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: your producer, mister Cecil B. De Mill, greetings from Hollywood,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we turned back from the nervous
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: world of the nineteen forties to those gay and glamorous
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: years at the end of the last century, back to
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: those years when a certain very beautiful woman was the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: toast of America. Her name was Lillian Russell, and that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: name is the title of tonight's play. We present Lilian
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Russell not as a shadowy legend, a woman who lived
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: and loved and had the world at her feet. She
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: comes to life again and the person of miss Alice Faye,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: who has a considerable portion of the world at her feet.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Right now, you'll hear her singing the same song hits
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: that Lillian Russell made, famous songs that carry me back
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to the gay nineties. For I knew liliand and Diamond
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Jim Brady both, and that makes the characters of this
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: play very real to me. Lillian Russell was one of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Alice Fay's biggest hits at twentieth Century Fox, and those
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: who saw it on the screen will also remember Edward
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Arnold's great performance as Diamond Jim Brady, He's here to
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: night to repeat the same part in our production, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Victim Mature plays Alexander Moore. This drama of a woman
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: noted for beauty is brought to you by a product
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: dedicated to beauty, Lux Toilet Soap. The millions of women
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: who use our product are responsible for its good name.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: They trust their own beauty to Luck's Toilet Soap, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: that trust, indicated so many times, is the best guarantee
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of quality.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: This coming week I'll see many of you in person,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: because tonight I am leaving for the Chicago premiere of
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: my new picture, Northwest Mounted Police, and I have several
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: stars with me, stars you heard on the Lux Radio Theater.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: But now we meet a star of another day. We
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: raised the curtain on the first act of Lillian Russell,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: starring Alice Faye as Lillian Russell, Edward Arnold as Diamond
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Jim Brady, and Victor Mature as Alexander Moore. In eighteen
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: sixty one, a baby girl was born to a mister
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and Missus Leonard of Clinton, Iowa. This squirming, little red
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: faced bundle was Helen Leonard, later to become world famous
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: as the beautiful Lillian Russell. Throughout her first night in
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: this world, young Helen screamed, last night. The fan father,

  Speaker 1: gazing into the tiny face, shook his head in wonderment.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Well, young lady, I say one thing for you.

• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Alice Fay, Edward Donald and Victim Mature will bring you
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: act too of Lillian Russell. Oh s, did you say
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: you had something to tell the ladies, Narlady.
• 20:02
  Speaker 29: Yes, mister Ruick, I've got a helpy that I.
• 20:05
  Speaker 21: Think is a dandy.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: A helpy? What's that?
• 20:08
  Speaker 22: You?
• 20:08
  Speaker 29: Just listen now, every housekeeper knows that it spoils the
• 20:11
  Speaker 29: appearance of a bathroom if when you run a hot bath,
• 20:14
  Speaker 29: you get the room all steamed up. Well, the mirrors
• 20:17
  Speaker 29: get clouded, and the guest towels get limp. Well, I
• 20:20
  Speaker 29: have discovered a way to avoid all that.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Well, tell us about it.
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: Well, here's what you do. Now.
• 20:25
  Speaker 29: First, before you run any hot water at all, you
• 20:28
  Speaker 29: run the cold water for a while. Then you add
• 20:30
  Speaker 29: as much hot.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: Water as you like, and the bathroom doesn't get all
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: steamed up. Well, that's a very good household hint. And
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: now I see what you mean by helpy. It's a
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: hint that helps, isn't it.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Yes, mister Ruick. And this particular hint is especially good
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: when you're expecting company. So the bath you take just
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: before the guests.
• 20:47
  Speaker 29: Come doesn't spoil a thickened span look of the bathroom.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, I see your luck soap beauty bath that makes
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: you feel fresh as a daisy in spite of the
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: fact that you've been busy all day sprucing up the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: house and getting dinner ready.
• 20:59
  Speaker 29: Yes, sir, that Luck's soap beauty bath that thousands of
• 21:02
  Speaker 29: women take every day, not only because it PEPs them up,
• 21:06
  Speaker 29: but because it makes them sure about daintiness, sure of
• 21:09
  Speaker 29: skin that's really fresh and sweet. That's where Lux Soap's
• 21:13
  Speaker 29: active leather comes in. And it's nice, delicate perfume.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, Sally, it's costly perfume. But Luck's toilet soap sells
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: for only a trifle because so many millions of people
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: buy it and use it every day. Volume production brings
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: the price down, you know. And of course the screen
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: stars out here and women everywhere find that Luck's Toilet
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Soap is a wonderful aid to complexion beauty. Actually, nine
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: out of ten screen stars lovely women everywhere use gentle
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: white Lux toilet soap. Now our producer, mister de mill

  Speaker 12: I don't care. I can even tell you exactly what
• 31:35
  Speaker 12: he'll say, My dear miss Russell. Of course I want
• 31:38
  Speaker 12: you back, but I don't like your meddlesome husband. He's
• 31:40
  Speaker 12: selfish and stupid, and he doesn't want anybody to do
• 31:42
  Speaker 12: anything for you but himself. That's what he'll say to you.
• 31:46
  Speaker 12: Unfortunately it's the truth, every word of it. I can't
• 31:49
  Speaker 12: help myself, Lily, and that's how I feel about you.
• 31:52
  Speaker 12: I want to write you the greatest operetta of your career,
• 31:56
  Speaker 12: and I can do it if you have faith in me.
• 31:59
  Speaker 12: I'll start to night this very minute.
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: Teddy Doling, sit down beside me. I know what you
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: wanna do for me, and I love you for it,

  Speaker 10: and some day you will do it.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: You have faith in me, You have.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, Teddy. And if I'm out of this show, I
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: don't care, because I know how.
• 32:20
  Speaker 12: Good yours will be, Oh, Lily, And I'm a very
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: selfish person. I'm willing to risk your career as if
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: it belonged to me, and it doesn't.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: I belong to you, Teddy.
• 32:30
  Speaker 12: It may mean months and months I'd be working nothing
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: coming in.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: We couldn't live like this, Dolling.
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: Then we'll move to a less expensive place and we'll
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: be just as happy as we are now, Lily.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: And now take me in your arms, hold me tight
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: and never let me go, Dolling. Oh Marie, did you
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: give mister Solomon his egg nog? Yes, ma'am did he
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: drink it?
• 33:08
  Speaker 28: And no, Mum, he doesn't look well on Miss Russell.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, he's tired, Marie. He's overworking himself.
• 33:14
  Speaker 28: He says, it's going to be the greatest role of
• 33:16
  Speaker 28: your career.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Mom. I hope so for his sake.
• 33:19
  Speaker 28: Good night, good night, ma'am, Oh Marie.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: What about our visitor. Isn't he coming tonight? Visitor?

  Speaker 4: Oh Marie. How could you possibly forget when you know
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: he's bringing us money.
• 33:37
  Speaker 28: Oh, I'm sorry, ma'am. I'll show him in as soon

• 33:50
  Speaker 4: name so well? Alexander Moore.
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, and now, this is the agreement with miss Wressell.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: It gives our paper the exclusive right to publish your story.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: You'll have to sign where it says accept it, and.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Uh, this is your check.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Tell me why did you break our pack, mister Moore
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: hum our pack?
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Mm h, I didn't think you even even remember me, Miss.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: Russell, Oh that doesn't answer my question, mister Moore, Well, I.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Don't think I can answer it without quibbling a little.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: You see, I made my pack with a girl named
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Helen Leonard. When I found out she was Lillian Russell,
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: well I got scared. I guess it seems a long
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: time ago, doesn't it.
• 34:37
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I can see it all as if it were yesterday.
• 34:41
  Speaker 10: We had just left Professor Damosh's house, and all at
• 34:43
  Speaker 10: once it happened.
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: You seemed to leap from nowhere, and I I thought
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: you were going to be killed.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: Oh I was afraid you were.
• 34:49
  Speaker 10: And here we are, years later, signing a contract for
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: my life. Story would have been a very short one
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: if you hadn't have been so brave.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Oh maybe it wasn't bravery. Maybe it was just a
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: newspaper man saving a good story.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: You see.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: My paper sort of considers you one of the finest
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: women that ever lived, not only because of your success,
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: but on account of the way you've carried it. Guess
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: maybe you didn't realize it, but everybody in America loves you. Everybody, well,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: they just can't help themselves. I guess you've got a
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: way of making.
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: People love you.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I mean well, that's how my paper feels about you,
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: Miss Russell.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Well, it's very sweet of you to tell me.
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Mister Moore, that's beautiful music, isn't it lovely?
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Mister Solomon is writing it for me.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: You're very happy, aren't you?
• 35:39
  Speaker 17: Oh?
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: Yes, very We haven't had such an easy time of
• 35:43
  Speaker 10: it lately. This check is more than welcome, but we
• 35:47
  Speaker 10: have been very happy. What was that, Well, that's what
• 35:51
  Speaker 10: you call artistic temperament. Whenever Teddy becomes dissatisfied or annoyed
• 35:55
  Speaker 10: with his work, he slaps the poor piano as if
• 35:58
  Speaker 10: it were all its fault. Now, tell me something about yourself.
• 36:03
  Speaker 10: When are you going to own a newspaper?
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know yet. I didn't get on very

• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Lucille. Oh, I like that name. Why don't you marry it?
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: Well, just never thought of it. I guess maybe if
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: you wouldn't have me if I did, well, Uh, i'll
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: have to leave. I'd like to begin I work tomorrow.
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: If we can Miss.
• 36:34

• 38:51
  Speaker 28: writing his music for you.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: His music. Yes, I owe it to him. At least

  Speaker 1: Edward Donald and Victim Mature will bring you Act three
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: of Lilian Russell. And now here's Libby Collins, our Hollywood
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: News reporter. She went over to twentieth Century Fox a
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: while ago to see what was going on over there.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: And if I know Libby, that gleam in her eye
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: means she came back with a real story.
• 41:15
  Speaker 32: Well, mister Ruick, I know that when it comes to stories,
• 41:18
  Speaker 32: you're from Missouri. But this story is true, and it's
• 41:21
  Speaker 32: about a young lady who really is from Missouri.
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: Brenda Joyce.
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: Brenda Joyce.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Why she's one of the most promising young starlets over
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: at twentieth century Fox. I'll never forget the way she
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: played the part of Fern Simon in the Rains Game.
• 41:33
  Speaker 32: Wait until you see her in her new picture, public
• 41:35
  Speaker 32: deb number one. I watched her working in a few
• 41:38
  Speaker 32: scenes over at the studio.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: She's terrific And did you notice her lovely complexion?
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: Libby?
• 41:43
  Speaker 32: I certainly did, mister Ruick, Brenda follows the lead of
• 41:47
  Speaker 32: nine out of ten famous stars.

  Speaker 4: She uses lux toilet.

  Speaker 1: Soap too, smart girl, Brenda, But tell us Libby what's
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: she like? How'd she get in pictures?

  Speaker 32: Well, Brenda's blonde, five feet four inches tall and weighs
• 41:59
  Speaker 32: one hundred twelve pounds, and she's every bit sheer glamor.
• 42:03
  Speaker 32: She's been living right here in Hollywood since she was
• 42:05
  Speaker 32: five years old.
• 42:06
  Speaker 19: You know.
• 42:07
  Speaker 32: Eventually she went to work as a photographer's model, and
• 42:09
  Speaker 32: all the local photographers called Brenda when they wanted a
• 42:12
  Speaker 32: typical American girl type.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: And then one day the usual talent scout noticed her.
• 42:16
  Speaker 32: Right, But the rest of the story is unusual. Her
• 42:20
  Speaker 32: screen test was so extraordinarily successful that she was assigned
• 42:23
  Speaker 32: that first part of her spern and the rains came.

• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Toilet Soap's active lather is gentle, does a thorough job
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: of removing dust, dirt, and stale cosmetics. Just pat the
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: rich active leather gently into your skin. Rinse with warm water,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: then a dash of cool then pat your face lightly
• 43:10

  Speaker 1: London still ringing in her ears. The homesick Lillian Russell
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: returned at last to America, the Broadway and her old friends.

  Speaker 2: Oh, I couldn't peddle this thing another ten feet.
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: Let me sit down.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: On the car.
• 44:47
  Speaker 26: Say that reminds me. Didn't you promise we'd stop off
• 44:50
  Speaker 26: for something to eat? That's what's the matter with me.
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: I'm weak.
• 44:54
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Jim, but I've got to get back. There's

  Speaker 22: Why what are you laughing at?
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 45:14
  Speaker 16: You and me?
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: Every time I start out with Lily and I end
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: up with you, I don't think it's so funny.
• 45:20
  Speaker 22: You don't either.
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: I know you're Jim.
• 45:24
  Speaker 22: You will laugh when you're hurt. You still love Lilian,
• 45:26
  Speaker 22: don't you?
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: Don't you?
• 45:28
  Speaker 22: No, I'm being honest with you again, Jim. I'm in
• 45:32
  Speaker 22: love with Edna.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: Edna, my Edna, No, my Edner.
• 45:37
  Speaker 22: We're going to be married, do you mind?
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: Mine? I think I think it's great.
• 45:43
  Speaker 22: I'm sorry in one way? Why because I know how lowly.
• 45:47
  Speaker 22: You're going to be without Edna when you lose Lilian again.
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't want a bet a lot of money against
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: my chances, would you?
• 45:53
  Speaker 28: No?
• 45:53
  Speaker 22: But you can't buy a Jim.
• 45:55
  Speaker 26: I tried that, Yes, but you never offered to lay
• 45:57
  Speaker 26: everything you had in the whole world of defeat, did you?
• 45:59
  Speaker 29: No?
• 46:00
  Speaker 17: Oh?

  Speaker 5: Not exactly? Well I will and it's millions, Jesse, millions.
• 46:13
  Speaker 19: And a minute. It's a certain time, curtain time, ten minutes.

  Speaker 28: Put a stitch in it. Mom in the dressing room,
• 46:21
  Speaker 28: it won't take a minute.

  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: I just couldn't wait, Lilian. I got an idea, and
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: the minute I got it, I just had to do it.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: You mean this, I'm a mirror.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, I've been trying to say it for a long time.
• 46:50
  Speaker 10: Jim, You're sweet, but I'm gonna scold you what again?
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: And seriously, I want you to look at all the

  Speaker 10: things you sent me tonight.
• 46:58

  Speaker 4: A basket of orchards with diamond necklace and bracelet, American beauty,
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: roses with rubies, gardenias with emeralds, violets with pearls, and
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: and a bicycle of golden sapphires. Jim, have you lost
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: your mind?
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: No, my dear, just my heart? What Lillian? Edna and
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: Jesse are out front watching the show. They're married. You

  Speaker 5: were fond of Jesse, weren't you.
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'll miss him, Jim. He was a grand friend.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: But you and miss Ednett too, won't you.
• 47:33
  Speaker 26: I won't miss anything or anybody in the whole world
• 47:35
  Speaker 26: if I can have you, and I'll give you everything
• 47:38
  Speaker 26: I've got in the world, if you'll just say yes, Lilian.
• 47:41
  Speaker 26: And if at the end of a year you tire
• 47:42
  Speaker 26: of me, I'll walk out of your life and leave
• 47:44
  Speaker 26: you everything I've spent my life for.
• 47:47
  Speaker 5: I love you, Lilian, really much. The matter? Why Why
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: are you crying?
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: Because I don't love you, Jim and I wish I did.
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, Lilian, come on, I'll stop that can't you see
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: I was just choking.
• 48:07
  Speaker 26: The only reason I said that was because you were
• 48:09
  Speaker 26: scholding me about my gifts, and I wanted you to
• 48:11
  Speaker 26: believe it was serious.
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: That's all it was. Can you meatione me being Mary?
• 48:19
  Speaker 33: Why I'd make the worst husband in the whole world,
• 48:21
  Speaker 33: because the minute you were mine, I'd begin to lose
• 48:24
  Speaker 33: interest in you, just as I have with everything else
• 48:26
  Speaker 33: I've gotten out of life, except perhaps corner out of
• 48:29
  Speaker 33: the cob.
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: I would really No, you're not.
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: Telling the truth. I've hurt you deeply, and I'm sorry.
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: But if I married you, I'd hurt you even more
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: because it would be gratitude, Jim, not love, and you
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: wouldn't want that, would you?
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: And what if I should say yes, then i'd marry it.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: Do you really mean that?
• 48:54
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 48:54
  Speaker 17: I do?
• 48:56
  Speaker 26: Well, then I'll bet this is the shortest honeymoon too.
• 49:00
  Speaker 26: You'll ever spit together. It's all over. And what's more,
• 49:03
  Speaker 26: Miss Russell seems very very happy about it.
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: No, No, I'm not happy, Jim, neither of you. We're
• 49:12
  Speaker 10: pretty much alike, aren't we. I mean, we've beat had
• 49:15
  Speaker 10: everything life could give us except what we really want.
• 49:19
  Speaker 10: And I've looked for it so hard. When I was
• 49:22
  Speaker 10: a girl and I first went to work for Tony Pastor,
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: my mother said that every success has its penalty, that
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: somehow life has.
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: A strange way of making you pay for the things
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: it gives you.
• 49:33
  Speaker 26: Now I know what she means, Lily, and I wish
• 49:35
  Speaker 26: I could give you the happiness you're looking for.
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: And I wish I could do the same for you.
• 49:39
  Speaker 5: Jim, a man, don't you worry about me.
• 49:42
  Speaker 26: All I'm thinking of right now is what we're going
• 49:45
  Speaker 26: to eat after the show.
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: We have a suppredate, you know.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I'll be waiting for you, Jim.
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: Good and we'll see you then.
• 49:56
  Speaker 28: Ms Russell. They are more flowers, ma'm and a message.
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: Read it to memory, Dear Miss Russell.

• 50:18
  Speaker 4: Tell him to come during ad mission, Yes, ma'am Marie.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Isn't it strange? I so often think of Alexander Moore,
• 50:26
  Speaker 4: and so seldom see him.

  Speaker 11: Oh, fifteen minutes intermission.
• 50:39

• 50:56
  Speaker 3: been glorious.

  Speaker 5: How is she? H?

  Speaker 3: I haven't seen her quite some time now.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sorry. Love can be so elusive, can it?
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Yes, it's n seems that way, Miss Russel.
• 51:40
  Speaker 4: You'll have to change soon. Very well, Marie, get my
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: things ready, I'll be running along. Will I see you later?
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: No, I I'm leaving now, getting the first train I can.
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: But uh, I'll be coming to New York again sometime soon.
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: Maybe.
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: Well, why don't you wire me before you come, and

• 52:01
  Speaker 4: Oh?

• 52:05
  Speaker 3: lots of times you have when you wouldn't remember you
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: weren't there. Good night, Miss Russell.
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: I'm glad you came back, so am I. Isn't it
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: a strange coincidence? Mister Moore?
• 52:19
  Speaker 17: What?
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: Well? Ever, since I first came to New York, you
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: seem to have punctuated in my life, and.
• 52:25
  Speaker 10: Every time something important or serious has ever happened to me,
• 52:29
  Speaker 10: you've come along.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Perhaps it hasn't been exactly a coincidence, Miss Russell.
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: Good night, good night.
• 52:40
  Speaker 10: We'd better hurry, ma'am, Marie, did you hear what he said?
• 52:44
  Speaker 10: He said it wasn't a coincidence. Do you realize what
• 52:47
  Speaker 10: that means?
• 52:47
  Speaker 28: Not exactly, ma'am.
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: It means he's been thinking of me. All these years.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: He's been in love with me, Marie, almost all my life,
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: and I.
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: Think I loved him the very first time I saw him.
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: Grandma told me I didn't. She was right, Marie, Marie,
• 53:04
  Speaker 10: find him for me, will you. He's leaving for Pittsburgh tonight,
• 53:06
  Speaker 10: and I don't want him to go away, because if
• 53:08
  Speaker 10: he does, it'll probable be years before we see him again.
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: Please, Marie, never mind my dress. I'll get into it somehow.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: Tell him I don't want him to go. Tell him anything, Marie,
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: but find.
• 53:16
  Speaker 9: Him for me. O, love bird, your song's ten thing.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: That wasn't meant to say.
• 53:37
  Speaker 20: Helloe, love bird, your song becomes a song.

  Speaker 34: Miss Russell, by founding Miss Russell, he's on your dressing
• 54:07
  Speaker 34: or thank you Mary, mister.

  Speaker 22: You join us with separate directors, Jim.
• 55:21
