- 0:58Speaker 2: it was, the two babes from the woods.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Walked hand in hand into Greenwich Village in search of fame, fortune,
- 1:28Speaker 1: and a room. We had come to New York from Columbus, Ohio.
- 1:32Speaker 1: We meant my typewriter, my ambition to become an author,
- 1:36Speaker 1: our $ 100, and her ambition to become the Sarah Bernhardt
- 1:40Speaker 1: of Broadway. She, here and after, known as her, the
- 1:45Speaker 1: blonde bombshell, and other terms of wolf-call endearment, was my
- 1:50Speaker 1: beautiful sister, Eileen. Whenever I think of those days in
- 1:54Speaker 1: Greenwich Village, I hear loud noises like this.
- 2:03Speaker 3: What was that?
- 2:04Speaker 4: What was what?
- 2:06Speaker 3: That noise, Mr. Apopolis. The whole room shook.
- 2:09Speaker 5: That shows you how you will get used to it.
- 2:11Speaker 5: I didn't even notice it.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Get used to it? You mean it happens all the time?
- 2:16Speaker 5: You won't even be conscious of it. The little blasting,
- 2:19Speaker 5: the new subway they're digging below.
- 2:22Speaker 1: You mean they're blasting right underneath us?
- 2:24Speaker 5: What are you worrying about? Those engineers know how much
- 2:28Speaker 5: dynamite for you.
- 2:29Speaker 3: But does it go on all the time?
- 2:31Speaker 1: No.
- 2:32Speaker 2: They knock off at midnight and they don't start again
- 2:35Speaker 2: until six in the morning.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Six in the morning?
- 2:38Speaker 3: Oh, we can't stay here, Ruth.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Listen.
- 2:41Speaker 2: In New York, you either live A, over a subway.
- 2:45Speaker 5: or B, where they're building a subway.
- 2:48Speaker 6: or you don't live in New York.
- 2:50Speaker 1: Stop double-talking and give us our rent money back.
- 2:52Speaker 5: What are you getting hysterical about?
- 2:55Speaker 2: I said I would give you your money back, and
- 2:56Speaker 2: I will, if at the end of the month you
- 2:58Speaker 2: are still dissatisfied.
- 3:00Speaker 5: Good night, ladies. Sleep tight.
- 3:02Speaker 3: Oh, Ruth. What are we going to do?
- 3:05Speaker 1: You? We're going to do 30 days in this dump, Eileen.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Oh, God. Shall I put out the lights now? Yes,
- 3:13Speaker 3: put them out.
- 3:14Speaker 7: All right.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Ruth?
- 3:16Speaker 2: Ruth?
- 3:17Speaker 3: I just put out the lights, but it's still light. Oh,
- 3:21Speaker 3: so it is.
- 3:22Speaker 1: Oh, there's a lamppost right in front of the window.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Well, then pull the shade down. There isn't any shade.
- 3:29Speaker 1: No shade? Oh, but Ruth, in this basement room, we're
- 3:34Speaker 1: practically sleeping in the street.
- 3:36Speaker 3: Just wait till I get that Apopolis.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Boy, what my hat and my gandy would give for
- 3:42Speaker 1: this bed.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Would it help any to close the window, Ruth?
- 3:46Speaker 5: If we do, we'll suffocate.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Golly.
- 3:50Speaker 3: I'm afraid, Ruth. You know, a dog could chase a
- 3:53Speaker 3: cat down here. And probably will. Well, let's go to sleep.
- 3:58Speaker 1: Maybe we can forget.
- 3:59Speaker 3: All right. Good night, Ruth.
- 4:02Speaker 6: Good night, Eileen.
- 4:04Speaker 3: Sleep tight.
- 4:05Speaker 5: Good night. I say I'm not going back or that's all.
- 4:18Speaker 1: Why not?
- 4:18Speaker 5: Well, they'll suck us for another cover charge. No, they won't. Listen,
- 4:23Speaker 5: you can take both of those dames and.
- 4:25Speaker 3: You go away from there, you drunken loafers.
- 4:28Speaker 5: Fine. A dame. Look, a dame down there in the window.
- 4:34Speaker 5: You go away from there or we'll call the police.
- 4:37Speaker 5: Another dame. Hey, look, Pete, there's two dames. One for you, too.
- 4:42Speaker 5: Can you go away? That one's mine. Okay. Mine ain't
- 4:46Speaker 5: the best.
- 4:47Speaker 3: You get away from here.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Hello, cutie.
- 4:51Speaker 2: Go away, go away, go away.
- 4:52Speaker 5: I'm fit as a fiddle. Are you ready for love?
- 4:57Speaker 3: Oh, Ruth, close the window. Me close the window?
- 5:01Speaker 5: No, no, you don't do it, Ruthie. I'd rather see
- 5:05Speaker 5: her close it.
- 5:06Speaker 7: Oh, Ruth.
- 5:07Speaker 3: Please.
- 5:08Speaker 5: Leave me in. I'll close it. Come on, honey. Come
- 5:11Speaker 5: to papa.
- 5:12Speaker 3: You take your hands out of here or I'll bust
- 5:14Speaker 3: them off.
- 5:15Speaker 5: Get out of here. What's going on here? Come on.
- 5:18Speaker 5: Break it up. Break it up. Oh, it's just the
- 5:21Speaker 5: social business. We was just going. Good night. Go on.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Get out of here. Go on.
- 5:28Speaker 3: Oh, I'm awfully glad you came, officer.
- 5:30Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll bet you are.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Oh, officer, do you think you could do something about
- 5:34Speaker 1: that lamppost? It shines right in here.
- 5:37Speaker 5: Sure. I'll put a shade on it. Say, ain't you
- 5:41Speaker 5: new in this neighborhood?
- 5:43Speaker 3: We just moved in today.
- 5:44Speaker 5: Well, if you're smart, you'll move out tomorrow. I'm particular
- 5:47Speaker 5: what goes on on my beat. I'm warning you.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Did you.
- 5:52Speaker 1: Did you hear what he said, Eileen?
- 5:55Speaker 5: Yes. Yes, I did, Ruth.
- 5:58Speaker 3: I'm afraid. Oh, move over, darling. I'm getting in bed
- 6:02Speaker 3: with you. Now, don't worry, dear. Everything's going to be
- 6:06Speaker 3: all right.
- 6:06Speaker 1: It's just different in this town, that's all.
- 6:12Speaker 3: It's just New York.
- 6:23Speaker 1: And that was the beginning of our new life in
- 6:26Speaker 1: New York, in a one-room basement apartment in Greenwich Village.
- 6:30Speaker 3: But life couldn't.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Go on all night.
- 6:32Speaker 3: There had to come dawn and the search for work.
- 6:36Speaker 3: I went uptown to see the.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Editor of a magazine, and while I was sitting with
- 6:39Speaker 1: my manuscript in the reception room, a door slammed open.
- 6:44Speaker 7: And he should come out.
- 6:45Speaker 5: With a wild look in his eye, but Mr.
- 6:47Speaker 4: Baker.
- 6:47Speaker 5: Can you read?
- 6:49Speaker 1: Oh, of course I can read.
- 6:51Speaker 5: Do you read?
- 6:52Speaker 1: And write, yes.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Never mind writing.
- 6:54Speaker 4: Everybody writes in New York, even people who can't read.
- 6:57Speaker 1: Well, I happen to be from Columbus.
- 6:58Speaker 4: That's very interesting. Now, think carefully. Have you ever read
- 7:00Speaker 4: our magazine, The Manhatter?
- 7:02Speaker 3: Well, not for some time.
- 7:04Speaker 2: Good.
- 7:04Speaker 4: Come with me.
- 7:06Speaker 5: What the... What's this? Mr.
- 7:08Speaker 4: Craven, meet Miss... What's your name?
- 7:10Speaker 3: Miss Sherwood, Ruth Sherwood.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Miss Sherwood. She can read. From Columbus, Ohio. Miss Sherwood,
- 7:14Speaker 4: in your time, you have read The Manhatter.
- 7:16Speaker 5: Is that true? Yes.
- 7:18Speaker 4: Do you like it?
- 7:19Speaker 5: No.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Good.
- 7:20Speaker 5: Wait a minute.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Who is this girl?
- 7:22Speaker 6: Miss Sherwood of Columbus.
- 7:23Speaker 4: What's the difference?
- 7:24Speaker 5: A lot of difference, my clever friend. What's she doing here?
- 7:26Speaker 5: Where did you find her?
- 7:27Speaker 4: Outside, sitting down.
- 7:28Speaker 5: I asked what she was doing there.
- 7:30Speaker 4: Miss Sherwood, the gentleman is trying to make a point
- 7:32Speaker 4: of some kind. Tell him. Tell us all. What were
- 7:34Speaker 4: you doing out there? I, uh.
- 7:37Speaker 1: I was trying to submit a manuscript.
- 7:39Speaker 5: That's all I want to know.
- 7:40Speaker 4: Good day, Miss Columbus.
- 7:41Speaker 5: Mr. Baker can pay you off outside.
- 7:43Speaker 4: Get out.
- 7:43Speaker 1: I certainly will. I've had a hard day, and I'm
- 7:46Speaker 1: darn sick of you and your magazine.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Hard day.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Gee, God, that's what I thought until I got back
- 8:01Speaker 1: to that air-conditioned packing case we called home. Yes?
- 8:05Speaker 2: Ah.
- 8:06Speaker 5: Hello.
- 8:07Speaker 3: Hello.
- 8:08Speaker 6: Oh, you're the new girls, huh? Well, my name's Loomis.
- 8:11Speaker 6: My wife and I live upstairs.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Oh, how do you do, Mr.
- 8:14Speaker 5: Loomis?
- 8:14Speaker 6: Oh, leave out the Mr. Call me Wreck.
- 8:16Speaker 5: Wreck? Yeah, that's what they called me at Georgia Tech.
- 8:19Speaker 6: Hey, is your sister home?
- 8:20Speaker 3: Oh, I expect her any minute.
- 8:21Speaker 5: Good.
- 8:22Speaker 6: My wife and I want to talk something over with you. Oh,
- 8:25Speaker 6: spaghetti and meatballs, huh? I smelled them coming past yesterday.
- 8:29Speaker 3: Oh, yes. They taste a lot better the second day.
- 8:31Speaker 5: Hey, watch me tackle it. Let's make a dummy.
- 8:36Speaker 3: You're a football player, Mr. Rex.
- 8:38Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah. When I'm in season, yeah.
- 8:42Speaker 5: Well, hello.
- 8:44Speaker 4: Oh.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Company, Eileen? Oh, no, Ruth. This is the Rex. Physically
- 8:49Speaker 3: or mentally?
- 8:51Speaker 6: You're Eileen's sister, huh?
- 8:52Speaker 2: I live upstairs with my wife, see? Now, look, Helen's
- 8:55Speaker 2: mother's coming to visit her, which straight-arms me right out
- 8:57Speaker 2: into the alley.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Well, haven't you enough room?
- 8:58Speaker 6: Oh, we could make room, only you see, she doesn't
- 9:00Speaker 6: know we're married, and Helen's.
- 9:01Speaker 2: Afraid to tell on account of I'm not working now.
- 9:03Speaker 5: But I start working.
- 9:04Speaker 2: As soon as the professional football season opens, and in
- 9:07Speaker 2: the meantime, we thought you wouldn't mind putting me up
- 9:09Speaker 2: in your kitchen.
- 9:10Speaker 3: Why, sure. You mean sleep in our kitchen?
- 9:13Speaker 4: Sure, sure.
- 9:13Speaker 5: Why not?
- 9:13Speaker 6: I'm a handy guy to have around in case something
- 9:15Speaker 6: happens anyway.
- 9:16Speaker 5: Well, thanks, girls.
- 9:17Speaker 6: You don't know how much you're helping us.
- 9:18Speaker 5: I'll get my stuff together right away.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Something tells me, Eileen, you weren't quite ready to leave Columbus.
- 9:27Speaker 5: Now what?
- 9:28Speaker 3: Oh, that must be Frank.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Who?
- 9:29Speaker 3: Frank Lippincott. He works at the soda counter in the drugstore.
- 9:32Speaker 1: I met him today, Ruth, and he gave me my
- 9:34Speaker 1: lunch for nothing. Please be very nice, Ruth.
- 9:38Speaker 4: Well, who am I?
- 9:39Speaker 3: Tugboat Annie? Come in.
- 9:43Speaker 5: Well, here I... Oh. Oh, gee, I'm sorry.
- 9:47Speaker 2: I didn't know there was a.
- 9:49Speaker 3: I guess you're Eileen's sister.
- 9:52Speaker 2: I can see a resemblance, all right.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Why, I'm very flattered.
- 9:57Speaker 5: Of course, you're a different type.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Yeah, I see what you mean.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Sit down, Mr. Lippincott.
- 10:04Speaker 5: Eileen's been telling me about your drugstore. Has she?
- 10:09Speaker 3: Oh, gee, it's a nice drugstore. I'm sure it is.
- 10:14Speaker 1: Oh, hello, Eileen.
- 10:16Speaker 3: Hello, Frank.
- 10:18Speaker 6: I brought you something.
- 10:19Speaker 3: It's California red wine.
- 10:22Speaker 5: I thought it'd go good with the spaghetti.
- 10:25Speaker 3: It's a special we're running this week.
- 10:27Speaker 6: So's our spaghetti, huh?
- 10:29Speaker 3: I bet your family's, Frank. Dinner's almost ready. Oh, here
- 10:33Speaker 3: we go again. Come in.
- 10:37Speaker 5: I'm looking for a party called Sherwood. Eleanor Sherwood?
- 10:40Speaker 1: You mean Eileen.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 10:44Speaker 4: Well, hello there, honey.
- 10:46Speaker 3: Why, Chick. Oh, Ruth, honey, this is Chick. He's a reporter.
- 10:51Speaker 3: He interviewed me today. You had a.
- 10:55Speaker 5: Busy day, Eileen. Hot, isn't it?
- 10:58Speaker 3: Yeah, but you'll cool off.
- 11:02Speaker 1: Are you staying for dinner, Mr., uh.
- 11:03Speaker 5: I'll stick around.
- 11:06Speaker 6: What's that stuff?
- 11:07Speaker 1: Why, that's a gift from Mr.
- 11:09Speaker 2: Lippincott.
- 11:10Speaker 1: Wine, I believe.
- 11:12Speaker 5: Well, let's have some.
- 11:13Speaker 3: I'll pour. Thank you, dear. Perhaps we should ice the wine.
- 11:17Speaker 5: Oh, no, no.
- 11:18Speaker 3: It should be served at room temperature.
- 11:20Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 11:21Speaker 6: Well, then you better cook it for a couple of hours.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Why don't you come back when the new subway's finished?
- 11:27Speaker 1: We expect a draft in here all day long.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Well, here's to.
- 11:31Speaker 1: To Eileen.
- 11:33Speaker 5: Yes. To you, gorgeous.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Don't mind me.
- 11:38Speaker 5: We don't.
- 11:41Speaker 4: Good Lord, what was that?
- 11:43Speaker 5: Relax, relax. It's only the subway. Get in there. Oh,
- 11:47Speaker 5: lay off me, you big ape.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Oh, here we go.
- 11:49Speaker 1: I forgot about the rake.
- 11:50Speaker 6: Oh, let go of me, you big slut.
- 11:52Speaker 5: What were you doing running out in that alley in
- 11:54Speaker 5: your nightshirt?
- 11:55Speaker 6: Will you tell this clown I'm okay?
- 11:57Speaker 3: Yes, he's all right.
- 11:59Speaker 4: I hope.
- 11:59Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
- 12:00Speaker 3: He's just the wreck.
- 12:02Speaker 2: The what? I found him out in the alley with.
- 12:04Speaker 5: All those bedclothes. I think he's some kind of a fiend.
- 12:06Speaker 6: You're crazy. I'm going to live here.
- 12:08Speaker 5: Live here?
- 12:09Speaker 3: In the kitchen.
- 12:10Speaker 5: It's all right, officer.
- 12:11Speaker 3: We know him.
- 12:12Speaker 5: Oh, it's you two. I thought I warned you to
- 12:14Speaker 5: move out of my beat.
- 12:16Speaker 3: How dare you? Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
- 12:18Speaker 1: Officer, I don't know what you think, but if it's
- 12:20Speaker 1: what I.
- 12:20Speaker 3: Think you think.
- 12:21Speaker 5: Yeah, see here, officer. And who do you think you are?
- 12:23Speaker 6: I'll tell you who I am.
- 12:24Speaker 5: Stop it.
- 12:25Speaker 3: Never mind who anybody is. What difference does it make?
- 12:27Speaker 3: Anybody walks in here. Everybody walks in here.
- 12:30Speaker 1: You know, for a place with a bad location and
- 12:32Speaker 1: no neon sign, we're doing a whale of a business.
- 12:35Speaker 3: Oh, who's that?
- 12:36Speaker 5: Oh, Mr.
- 12:37Speaker 3: Baker from the magazine.
- 12:39Speaker 4: Good evening, Miss Sherwood. I've read your manuscript. You left
- 12:42Speaker 4: it behind today. I'd like to discuss it.
- 12:45Speaker 2: What?
- 12:46Speaker 4: I said I read your manuscript. I'd like to discuss
- 12:48Speaker 4: it with you.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Yes.
- 12:50Speaker 3: That's what I thought you said.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Oh!
- 12:54Speaker 3: Oh, she's fainted! My sister has fainted!
- 12:57Speaker 1: Oh, Ruth!
- 12:58Speaker 5: Ruth!
- 12:58Speaker 2: Oh! In a moment, we will continue with the second
- 13:15Speaker 2: part of Academy Award. You all know how much careful
- 13:18Speaker 2: production means to your enjoyment of a motion picture. Well,
- 13:22Speaker 2: it's true of a dental cream, too. That's why the
- 13:24Speaker 2: production of Squibb dental cream, like that of the entire
- 13:28Speaker 2: great family of Squibb products, is governed by exacting scientific standards.
- 13:33Speaker 2: That's why more than 100 separate tests are made to
- 13:37Speaker 2: guarantee the purity and uniformity of this quality dentist. And
- 13:41Speaker 2: you can taste, feel, and see the refreshing difference. The
- 13:45Speaker 2: delightful minty flavor of Squibb Dental Cream is so cool,
- 13:48Speaker 2: so invigorating, it leaves a real tingle in your mouth.
- 13:52Speaker 2: And Squibb Dental Cream helps to uncover all the natural
- 13:55Speaker 2: sparkle of your smile because the active ingredient is one
- 13:58Speaker 2: of the safest, softest, yet most effective polishing agents known
- 14:02Speaker 2: to dental science.
- 14:04Speaker 5: Try it yourself. Ask for Squibb Dental Cream.
- 14:08Speaker 2: Taste. Feel and see the refreshing difference. In a moment,
- 14:13Speaker 2: you will hear part two of My Sister Eileen. But first,
- 14:16Speaker 2: for making this story available, we want to thank Columbia Pictures,
- 14:20Speaker 2: who are also producers of Gilda, starring Rita Hayworth.
- 14:31Speaker 5: And now the.
- 14:32Speaker 6: House of Squibb presents part two.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Of Academy Award. Starring Rosalind Russell and Janet Blair in
- 14:38Speaker 2: My Sister Eileen. So you see, I'm not going to quit.
- 14:51Speaker 2: Anybody can walk out, that's easy. I'm going to stay
- 14:54Speaker 2: and fight Craven to a finish.
- 14:56Speaker 1: I think that's just fine, Mr.
- 14:57Speaker 5: Baker.
- 14:58Speaker 3: I also think it's four o'clock in the morning. Good night.
- 15:00Speaker 4: Hey, wait a second. I was only letting off steam.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Look, I fainted once tonight from people letting off steam.
- 15:07Speaker 1: And I thank you for the spaghetti and meatballs. It
- 15:10Speaker 1: was a great treat for me tonight, especially since we've
- 15:12Speaker 1: been living on them for a week.
- 15:14Speaker 4: Why didn't you say something?
- 15:16Speaker 1: Because I couldn't get a word in edgewise. I couldn't
- 15:18Speaker 1: even remind you that I'm an author. And I wrote
- 15:21Speaker 1: some stories, remember?
- 15:22Speaker 3: About Columbus.
- 15:23Speaker 4: Sure. And I read them.
- 15:26Speaker 3: It took till four.
- 15:26Speaker 1: O'clock in the morning to find out they weren't even
- 15:28Speaker 1: worth mentioning.
- 15:29Speaker 4: I don't know what you're talking about. They're very good.
- 15:32Speaker 2: They are?
- 15:33Speaker 3: Sure. Well, why didn't you say so?
- 15:36Speaker 4: Didn't I?
- 15:37Speaker 2: No.
- 15:38Speaker 4: Why, you write like an angel.
- 15:40Speaker 5: You know, these stories are quite good.
- 15:42Speaker 3: Oh, just quite good.
- 15:45Speaker 4: Isn't that good enough?
- 15:46Speaker 3: You mean, if you could publish them, you wouldn't?
- 15:51Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't. You see, the people are good, but
- 15:53Speaker 4: the stories are flat. That's because not enough happens to you.
- 15:57Speaker 5: Oh, it doesn't, eh?
- 15:59Speaker 4: That's what I said. You can't lead a quiet, sheltered life.
- 16:02Speaker 5: Quiet, sheltered?
- 16:03Speaker 3: Down in that tunnel? With subway blasts?
- 16:06Speaker 1: And a populist, our Rasputin.
- 16:08Speaker 3: Landlord, cheating us blind?
- 16:09Speaker 1: With Eileen dragging home newspaper geniuses and drugstore managers and
- 16:12Speaker 1: anything else.
- 16:12Speaker 3: She happens to meet up with in the course of
- 16:14Speaker 3: a day? With football players drifting through, not for no.
- 16:17Speaker 5: Reason at all?
- 16:17Speaker 3: Did you say sheltered?
- 16:18Speaker 4: Why, that's it. That's it.
- 16:20Speaker 5: That's exactly the stuff.
- 16:21Speaker 4: Write it.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Write what?
- 16:22Speaker 4: Write about your life in a Greenwich Village apartment.
- 16:24Speaker 5: Eileen, the blast, the whole menagerie.
- 16:27Speaker 4: Why, it's wonderful.
- 16:28Speaker 3: Oh, I see what you mean. Why, why, sure. And so,
- 16:47Speaker 3: that was what happened. That was what happened.
- 16:52Speaker 1: To me, to me, and my sister, Eileen.
- 17:04Speaker 3: There, it's finished. What, the tunnel? No, the book.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Say, Ruth, you seem so terribly down today, and golly,
- 17:14Speaker 1: if you start feeling that way.
- 17:16Speaker 3: Well, who's going to hold me up?
- 17:18Speaker 1: Oh, I'm not worried about you, Eileen. Not while there's
- 17:21Speaker 1: a man alive.
- 17:22Speaker 3: But after all, Ruth, men are only an escape.
- 17:27Speaker 6: Comes another escape.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Sherwood residence. Miss Ruth Sherwood. For me? Ruth, it's Chick's paper.
- 17:36Speaker 4: Hello?
- 17:38Speaker 5: Yes.
- 17:39Speaker 3: This is she.
- 17:39Speaker 5: Her.
- 17:40Speaker 1: She. What?
- 17:43Speaker 5: Yes.
- 17:43Speaker 2: Yes.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Yeah, sure.
- 17:46Speaker 1: Sand Street, Brooklyn?
- 17:48Speaker 3: Yes. Yeah, I've got it.
- 17:49Speaker 5: Sure, I understand.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Thanks.
- 17:52Speaker 5: Gee.
- 17:53Speaker 3: What is it? What's going on?
- 17:54Speaker 1: I'm going to give me a chance to show what
- 17:55Speaker 1: I can do. An assignment to cover over in Brooklyn.
- 17:58Speaker 3: What happened over in Brooklyn? A Portuguese ship.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Merchant Marine with a load of young cadets. They want
- 18:03Speaker 1: a human interest story on it.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Gee.
- 18:05Speaker 5: Oh, Eileen, where is Brooklyn?
- 18:08Speaker 3: Oh, it's, uh, it's, um.
- 18:10Speaker 1: Oh, well, you can't miss it. Oh, thanks.
- 18:12Speaker 3: That's a help.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Hello, gorgeous.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Oh, hello, Chick. How did you get in here?
- 18:25Speaker 5: Your back door lock is busted.
- 18:27Speaker 3: Oh, gosh, you scared me half to death.
- 18:30Speaker 5: Oh, take it easy, sugar.
- 18:31Speaker 2: I happened to see Ruth ducking into the subway, and
- 18:34Speaker 2: I thought maybe gorgeous is alone.
- 18:37Speaker 3: Oh, I see.
- 18:38Speaker 1: Well, she's on her way to Brooklyn, and oh, I
- 18:41Speaker 1: do want to thank you for getting that assignment for her, Chick.
- 18:44Speaker 4: Oh, forget it.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Now let's get your future straightened out. Will you stand still, please?
- 18:51Speaker 3: Well, I've been waiting for that interview to be published, Chick.
- 18:54Speaker 5: This week, sugar.
- 18:55Speaker 3: Oh, well, gee, thanks. Don't you think you better go now?
- 18:59Speaker 5: Go?
- 19:01Speaker 2: After I went and fixed it to get you along
- 19:02Speaker 2: without that eagle-eyed sister of yours around?
- 19:05Speaker 3: Oh, you framed my sister.
- 19:08Speaker 5: Now, don't get tragic.
- 19:09Speaker 3: Oh, you get out of here.
- 19:11Speaker 5: Now, that's silly. After all I tried to do for
- 19:13Speaker 5: that sister of yours. Oh, go away.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Take your hands off of me.
- 19:17Speaker 5: Now, stop playing coin, sugar.
- 19:18Speaker 3: Stop it, please. Oh, come in, come in.
- 19:22Speaker 5: Oh, Mr.
- 19:23Speaker 3: Baker. Well, I'm certainly glad to see you. And now, Mr. Clark,
- 19:28Speaker 3: will you kindly get out?
- 19:30Speaker 4: I think I'd do as the lady says, Clark.
- 19:33Speaker 5: Sure, I... A little hot for wrestling anyway.
- 19:36Speaker 4: Oh, Mr.
- 19:39Speaker 3: Baker.
- 19:39Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. You're all right.
- 19:42Speaker 3: Oh, I really don't know what I'd have done.
- 19:44Speaker 4: Oh, there, there. Sit right down. Right over there.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Oh, Mr.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Oh, thank you.
- 19:53Speaker 7: Thank you, Bob.
- 19:55Speaker 5: Yes.
- 19:56Speaker 4: Eileen.
- 19:59Speaker 5: Sir, where is it?
- 20:01Speaker 6: Where is it, I say?
- 20:02Speaker 2: Where is what, Mr.
- 20:03Speaker 3: Apopala?
- 20:03Speaker 5: My picture. My painting, my life, blood, my career, my work,
- 20:09Speaker 5: my art. Ye gods, it must be somewhere.
- 20:12Speaker 2: I remember painting it, framing it, but where.
- 20:17Speaker 5: Did I hang it?
- 20:19Speaker 2: Who was that?
- 20:20Speaker 3: That was Mr. Apopolis, our landlord.
- 20:22Speaker 7: The End.
- 20:34Speaker 5: Oh, for heaven's sake.
- 20:35Speaker 1: What's the matter, Ruth?
- 20:37Speaker 3: We're outnumbered, darling. The fleet's in.
- 20:39Speaker 5: Ah, St.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Petersburg. Oh, he's nice.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Help me get rid of them.
- 20:44Speaker 3: Well, who are they, Ruth?
- 20:45Speaker 1: Cadets from that Portuguese ship I interviewed.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Well, why did you bring them in here for? We've
- 20:49Speaker 3: got trouble as it is. Bring them. They were on
- 20:51Speaker 3: my trail ever since I left the Brooklyn dock.
- 20:53Speaker 1: There were more of them when we started off, but
- 20:54Speaker 1: half of them got.
- 20:55Speaker 3: Lost in the subway. Oh!
- 20:57Speaker 2: Oh!
- 20:58Speaker 3: They're coming at me, Ruth!
- 21:00Speaker 5: Help! Help!
- 21:01Speaker 1: End of the rocket, honey.
- 21:03Speaker 3: It's too late now.
- 21:04Speaker 4: Oh, Ruth!
- 21:28Speaker 5: I knew it the minute my back is turned.
- 21:30Speaker 7: Officer, save me.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Save me.
- 21:32Speaker 5: I'll save you for breach of the peace. Unlawful assembly.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Tighten the ride.
- 21:36Speaker 5: Get the wagon.
- 21:37Speaker 4: You're all under arrest.
- 21:38Speaker 5: There you are, bud.
- 21:40Speaker 1: Five minutes. Eileen.
- 21:41Speaker 7: Oh, Frank Lippincott.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Gee, it was so sweet of you to come all
- 21:56Speaker 3: the way down here to see me.
- 21:58Speaker 2: Hey, this is the first time I've ever been in
- 22:00Speaker 2: a jail.
- 22:01Speaker 3: You don't say.
- 22:02Speaker 1: Imagine why we're thrown in the clink twice every week.
- 22:06Speaker 3: Well, if you want an explanation for this prank, you
- 22:08Speaker 3: can go right now.
- 22:10Speaker 5: Oh, no, no.
- 22:11Speaker 3: I was bringing you this anyway.
- 22:13Speaker 4: Chocolate-covered cherries.
- 22:15Speaker 3: A special we're running this week. Oh, thank you. You
- 22:20Speaker 3: are the sweetest boy.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Oh, I'm glad you think so. Because I made an
- 22:24Speaker 2: important decision today. And it's just as well that your
- 22:27Speaker 2: sister's here, too.
- 22:29Speaker 5: Why?
- 22:29Speaker 7: Why, Frank?
- 22:31Speaker 3: This is hardly the place for a proposal.
- 22:34Speaker 4: Oh, no, no, it wasn't that.
- 22:36Speaker 3: It wasn't?
- 22:37Speaker 2: No. No, you see, I suddenly realized that I was
- 22:40Speaker 2: wasting my life. You girls have the right idea. Follow
- 22:44Speaker 2: your natural bent, whatever it is.
- 22:46Speaker 5: So?
- 22:48Speaker 4: So I'm ready for the bohemian life.
- 22:52Speaker 3: How dare you? We're not bohemians. No, we're not.
- 22:56Speaker 1: We're a couple of girls from Columbus, Ohio, who are
- 22:58Speaker 1: here trying to make a living. And that's all we're
- 23:00Speaker 1: here for.
- 23:01Speaker 4: Mr.
- 23:01Speaker 5: Baker to see you. Ruth, Eileen.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Bob!
- 23:04Speaker 3: Bob! Hold everything. I didn't know you knew Mr.
- 23:08Speaker 5: Baker.
- 23:09Speaker 3: Why, of course, Ruth.
- 23:10Speaker 1: We had a delightful time this afternoon, didn't.
- 23:14Speaker 5: We, Bob?
- 23:15Speaker 1: Uh.
- 23:15Speaker 2: I, uh, I, I, I'll go out and talk to
- 23:18Speaker 2: the man about bail.
- 23:19Speaker 5: See you in a little while, girls. Just a little while.
- 23:22Speaker 5: Come on, you guys. Clear the hall. Other people want
- 23:25Speaker 5: to visit in jail here.
- 23:26Speaker 3: What now, officer?
- 23:28Speaker 5: Mr. Sherwood from Columbus, Ohio to see you.
- 23:31Speaker 1: Dad.
- 23:32Speaker 3: Oh, Dad.
- 23:33Speaker 4: Don't dad me.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Did you have to come all the way to New
- 23:35Speaker 2: York to land in jail? What's the matter with our
- 23:37Speaker 2: jail back home?
- 23:39Speaker 3: It isn't the jail, Dad.
- 23:40Speaker 5: It's, well, uh.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Well, they've got better reasons in New York for putting
- 23:44Speaker 1: you in.
- 23:44Speaker 7: Hurry up, girls.
- 23:55Speaker 5: Finish your packing. We're going back to Columbus.
- 23:58Speaker 3: Yes, Dad.
- 23:58Speaker 6: Okay, Dad.
- 23:59Speaker 1: We're packing. Well, nobody can say we haven't lived in
- 24:02Speaker 1: this dump while we were at it.
- 24:04Speaker 3: And it's so nice and quiet today.
- 24:06Speaker 5: Oh, dear.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Good heavens, what was that? Come on, we'll run for
- 24:11Speaker 2: the street.
- 24:11Speaker 3: It's just a subway, Dad. They're digging it closer all
- 24:14Speaker 3: the time.
- 24:15Speaker 5: Oh, subway, huh?
- 24:16Speaker 2: Ruth. Ruth.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Bob.
- 24:17Speaker 4: Where have you been? I've been calling all day.
- 24:19Speaker 3: They took the phone out.
- 24:20Speaker 5: What are you doing packing?
- 24:21Speaker 4: You can't go.
- 24:22Speaker 5: See here, who are you?
- 24:23Speaker 4: Never mind who I am. This girl stays in New York. Look,
- 24:26Speaker 4: I published a story, the lead story in this issue
- 24:28Speaker 4: of the Manhattan. You're made.
- 24:29Speaker 5: Oh, Bob.
- 24:31Speaker 4: Don't faint.
- 24:31Speaker 5: It's true. Where is she?
- 24:33Speaker 4: Mr. Craven came along with a contract.
- 24:34Speaker 5: Now, see here, I've made up my mind. Who is he?
- 24:38Speaker 3: My father, Mr.
- 24:38Speaker 5: Baker, Mr. Craven. I've searched everywhere. I am desperate.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Mr.
- 24:44Speaker 3: Apopolis, my father.
- 24:45Speaker 6: Hey, Ruth, my wife wanted to know if... Oh, company.
- 24:48Speaker 3: That was a wreck from Georgia Tech.
- 24:50Speaker 5: Now, look here, Mr.
- 24:51Speaker 4: Sherwood.
- 24:51Speaker 5: We're going home.
- 24:52Speaker 2: You can't go home.
- 24:53Speaker 4: Ruth and I have a great deal of work to do.
- 24:55Speaker 4: It may take years. Maybe a lifetime.
- 24:59Speaker 5: Bob. Sign this contract.
- 25:01Speaker 2: I want an entire series of the Eileen stories.
- 25:03Speaker 3: Oh, a series.
- 25:04Speaker 5: Sure, sure, sure.
- 25:05Speaker 1: Where do I sign?
- 25:06Speaker 4: Right here.
- 25:07Speaker 3: Oh, what about me?
- 25:08Speaker 5: Huh? Oh, you.
- 25:10Speaker 7: That's it.
- 25:11Speaker 1: I'll sign this contract if you get my sister Eileen.
- 25:14Speaker 3: A job in the theater.
- 25:15Speaker 2: What?
- 25:15Speaker 3: Yes or no. Right.
- 25:17Speaker 4: Yes or no.
- 25:18Speaker 3: Oh, Mr. Craven. Why, you must know just, just everybody.
- 25:22Speaker 5: Why, I, why, certainly I. Go ahead. Sign that contract.
- 25:27Speaker 7: I'll, uh, I'll take care.
- 25:28Speaker 5: Of your sister.
- 25:29Speaker 2: Yes, indeed.
- 25:31Speaker 5: Now, listen here.
- 25:32Speaker 2: I'm the father of these girls, and I say we're
- 25:35Speaker 2: going to go.
- 25:41Speaker 5: Oh, oh, look!
- 25:43Speaker 3: A man is coming up through the floor!
- 25:46Speaker 4: Hey!
- 25:48Speaker 5: Hey, where am I? Hey, Pete!
- 25:52Speaker 6: We let the.
- 25:52Speaker 3: Last one go in the wrong place!

- 25:57Speaker 1: It's some damn department.
- 26:11Speaker 2: Today, hungry men, women, and children all over the world
- 26:14Speaker 2: have received new hope from America, from all of us
- 26:17Speaker 2: who will get along with less food so that others
- 26:20Speaker 2: may have more. from our doctors and scientists who have
- 26:23Speaker 2: developed new, more effective medical aids for the sick and starving.
- 26:27Speaker 2: Perhaps you've heard of the new developments in protein derivatives
- 26:30Speaker 2: called amino acids. Through exhaustive research, clinical study, and constantly
- 26:36Speaker 2: accelerating production, the House of Squibb is making important contributions
- 26:40Speaker 2: in this field. To people who have known the ravages
- 26:43Speaker 2: of starvation, amino acids will help restore health-building proteins quickly,
- 26:48Speaker 2: speeding the return of full strength to wasted bodies. Because
- 26:53Speaker 2: amino acids promise to become an even greater boon to mankind,
- 26:57Speaker 2: the House of Squibb is devoting the vast energies of
- 26:59Speaker 2: its scientists and laboratories to further development and production of
- 27:04Speaker 2: protein derivatives, continuing the endless quest for perfection that lies
- 27:09Speaker 2: behind all Squibb products. One more reason why, to families
- 27:13Speaker 2: and physicians alike, Squibb is a name you can trust.
- 27:22Speaker 2: Next week, another great picture. The House of Scribd will
- 27:24Speaker 2: present Academy Awards starring Victor McLaughlin and an all-star cast
- 27:28Speaker 2: in The Informer. Today's performance of My Sister Eileen was
