Speaker 1: Five principal performers from the 1941 film return for tonight's
0:04
Speaker 1: Lux Radio Theater. Walter Pigeon as Mr. Gruffydd, Donald Crisp
0:09
Speaker 1: as Gwilym Morgan, Maureen O'Hara as Ang Harrod, Roddy McDowell
0:14
Speaker 1: as Hugh, and Sarah Allgood as Beth Morgan. First broadcast
0:19
Speaker 1: on CBS, September 21st, 1942. This is episode 362, How
0:21
Speaker 1: Green Was My Valley, produced by Cecil B.
0:23
Speaker 2: DeMille.
0:30
Speaker 1: In a Welsh coal mining valley, Hugh Morgan recalls the
0:34
Speaker 1: family and village of his childhood as wage cuts and
0:37
Speaker 1: changing conditions unsettled the colliery community. The Morgan household confronts
0:43
Speaker 1: the pull of tradition, work, and a younger generation's aspirations
0:48
Speaker 1: with the village minister, Mr. Gruffydd, close at hand. Now,
0:53
Speaker 1: back to the golden age of radio.
0:56
Speaker 3: Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Walter Pigeon,
1:13
Speaker 3: Donald Crisp.
1:14
Speaker 2: Maureen O'Hara, Roddy McDowell, and Sarah Allgood in How Green
1:19
Speaker 2: Was My Valley.
1:20
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille.
1:30
Speaker 4: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. When our curtain rises tonight,
1:35
Speaker 4: it will disclose a scene far removed from the battle-scarred
1:38
Speaker 4: world we live in now. A scene out of yesterday's world.
1:42
Speaker 4: And like the little girl who stepped through the looking glass,
1:45
Speaker 4: you're invited to cross the footlights and spend an hour
1:48
Speaker 4: with the sturdy people of How Green Was My Valley.
1:52
Speaker 4: From the original cast of this Academy Award picture, we
1:55
Speaker 4: have Walter Pigeon, now starring in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's White Cargo. and
1:59
Speaker 4: Donald Crisp, Maureen O'Hara, Roddy McDowell, Sarah Allgood, and a
2:04
Speaker 4: chorus of Welsh singers. Besides the award won by this
2:09
Speaker 4: 20th Century Fox production, How Green Was My Valley brought
2:12
Speaker 4: another Academy Award to Donald Crisp for the finest performance
2:16
Speaker 4: of the year by a supporting actor. And then the
2:18
Speaker 4: Academy made it a triple play by presenting John Ford
2:22
Speaker 4: with the award for directing. And before any of this happened,
2:25
Speaker 4: Richard Llewellyn's novel had been a bestseller. So tonight's play
2:30
Speaker 4: comes well recommended. It's a story of a little Welsh
2:33
Speaker 4: coal mining community, a place where life, love, and drama
2:37
Speaker 4: go hand in hand, because every descent into the depths
2:40
Speaker 4: of the earth must always be a perilous adventure for
2:44
Speaker 4: the men who dig out its wealth. From soldier and stenographer,
2:48
Speaker 4: from farmer and factory worker, have come letter after letter
2:52
Speaker 4: suggesting how green was my valley for this theater. So many,
2:55
Speaker 4: in fact, they stopped being suggestions and became a command.
2:59
Speaker 4: So this is a command performance for all the friends
3:01
Speaker 4: of Lux Toilet Soap. Lux Soap has always been a
3:05
Speaker 4: favorite with beauty. But nowadays you'll find beauty at work
3:08
Speaker 4: on the farm and in the factory. And unless the
3:11
Speaker 4: papers deceive me, in the army too. Hard for an
3:14
Speaker 4: old line sergeant to understand, probably. But in this war,
3:18
Speaker 4: woman power is just as important as man power. And
3:21
Speaker 4: wherever woman power goes to work, Lux Toilet Soap is
3:25
Speaker 4: right there helping to keep up the morale. Here's the
3:29
Speaker 4: opening curtain now on the first act of How Green
3:31
Speaker 4: Was My Valley, starring Walter Pigeon as Griffith, Donald Crisp
3:36
Speaker 4: as Mr. Morgan, Maureen O'Hara as Anne Harrod, Roddy McDowell
3:40
Speaker 4: as Hugh, and Sarah Allgood as Beth Morgan.
3:55
Speaker 3: I am packing my belongings in the shawl my mother
3:57
Speaker 3: used to wear when she went to market, and I'm
4:00
Speaker 3: going from my valet. And this time, I shall never return.
4:12
Speaker 4: So begins the story of Hugh Morgan, a man who
4:15
Speaker 4: looks back through 60 years of memories and finds them
4:18
Speaker 4: clear and bright as yesterday. His birthplace and his home
4:22
Speaker 4: is a small Welsh coal valet Once a place of.
4:25
Speaker 3: Beauty, now ugly and dirty.
4:28
Speaker 4: Towering heaps of slag and belching smoke decks have made
4:32
Speaker 4: his valley so.
4:33
Speaker 6: But old Hugh Morgan is oblivious to all that.
4:37
Speaker 3: I close my eyes on my valley as it is today,
4:41
Speaker 3: and I see it as it was when I was
4:42
Speaker 3: a boy. Green it was, and possessed of the plenty
4:46
Speaker 3: of the earth. In all Wales there was none so beautiful.
4:50
Speaker 3: For in those days the black slag of the coal
4:52
Speaker 3: pits had not yet marred the countryside... nor blackened the
4:55
Speaker 3: beauty of our village. Coal miners were my father and
4:59
Speaker 3: all my brothers, and proud of their trade. Saturday was
5:02
Speaker 3: payday at the mine, and my father and all my
5:05
Speaker 3: brothers would stand in line to receive their wages for
5:08
Speaker 3: a week of honest work. Willard Morgan, £ 3.
5:11
Speaker 7: 70.
5:11
Speaker 8: Thank you, sir.
5:12
Speaker 9: Ivo Morgan, £ 3.
5:12
Speaker 8: 70.
5:12
Speaker 4: Thank you, sir.
5:13
Speaker 1: Jorgen Morgan, £ 3.
5:14
Speaker 3: 70. Thank you.
5:15
Speaker 9: Darby Morgan, £ 2.
5:16
Speaker 3: 50.
5:16
Speaker 6: Yes, sir.
5:16
Speaker 1: Owen Morgan, £ 2.
5:17
Speaker 3: 50.
5:17
Speaker 5: Thank you, sir.
5:22
Speaker 1: John William Morgan, one pound ten.
5:24
Speaker 6: Thank you, sir.
5:25
Speaker 1: Nine never, three pounds six.
5:27
Speaker 6: See, father, one pound ten this week.
5:29
Speaker 3: Good boy.
5:30
Speaker 6: Now home, all of you, to your mother.
5:36
Speaker 5: Someone then would strike up a song, and the valley
5:38
Speaker 5: would ring with the sound of many voices. For singing
5:41
Speaker 5: is in my people as sight is in the eye.
5:45
Speaker 5: At home, my mother would be sitting at the door.
5:47
Speaker 5: My father and all my brothers would drop their hard-earned
5:50
Speaker 5: sovereigns into her apron.
5:52
Speaker 6: There you are, girl.
5:53
Speaker 10: A fine hard worker it is.
5:55
Speaker 6: Ivor next.
5:56
Speaker 9: Your mother.
5:57
Speaker 10: Ivor.
5:59
Speaker 8: Yanto. Debbie.
6:01
Speaker 11: Owen.
6:01
Speaker 6: Young William.
6:07
Speaker 3: It was happy we were at that time. And happier
6:09
Speaker 3: still on the day my brother Ivor was married. I
6:14
Speaker 3: will never forget the party after the wedding. And the
6:17
Speaker 3: wedding cake, it took two men to lift. And my father.
6:20
Speaker 6: Oh, here's a man won't get drunk, can't get drunk,
6:23
Speaker 6: can't get drunk.
6:24
Speaker 3: It was then that Mr. Griffith came to the door. Mr.
6:27
Speaker 6: Griffith, the new minister from.
6:28
Speaker 3: The University of Cardiff. I ran to tell my father.
6:32
Speaker 7: Dada, dada, the minister is here. Mr.
6:35
Speaker 6: Griffith.
6:36
Speaker 9: Dada, it's the minister.
6:40
Speaker 6: Hey, what boy?
6:40
Speaker 8: The minister.
6:42
Speaker 6: Oh, oh, oh, the new minister. Put away the beer.
6:45
Speaker 11: Put away the beer.
6:46
Speaker 3: Good evening, Mr. Morgan.
6:49
Speaker 6: Good evening, sir. Some cup of tea, is it, Mr.
6:52
Speaker 10: Griffith?
6:53
Speaker 6: Girl, Beth, brew a cup of tea.
6:55
Speaker 3: Oh, no, don't bother, please. What are you having, Mr.
6:57
Speaker 7: Morgan?
6:58
Speaker 6: We, oh, we, sir, beer, sir.
7:01
Speaker 3: Beer it is, then, if you please. Beer? Uh-huh.
7:04
Speaker 11: Beer.
7:05
Speaker 6: A pint of beer. Hurry.
7:12
Speaker 3: We found then that Mr. Griffith could sing as well
7:15
Speaker 3: as preach. But my sister Angharad could not sing at
7:18
Speaker 3: all for watching me. My sister Angharad brought in something
7:22
Speaker 3: to eat. And there was a great shyness in her
7:24
Speaker 3: as she spoke to him.
7:25
Speaker 7: Mr.
7:25
Speaker 8: Griffith.
7:26
Speaker 3: Good evening.
7:27
Speaker 12: I have brought you something.
7:28
Speaker 8: Thank you.
7:30
Speaker 12: I am Ivor's sister.
7:31
Speaker 8: Ivor's sister.
7:32
Speaker 3: Then you must be Angharad.
7:34
Speaker 13: Yes, Angharad.
7:38
Speaker 3: All around, the valley echoed with our joy. Happy then,
7:41
Speaker 3: all of us. But soon, very soon, there would be
7:45
Speaker 3: trouble at the colliery.
7:50
Speaker 4: Notice, beginning August 3rd, the scale of wages in this
7:53
Speaker 4: mine will be reduced.
7:54
Speaker 3: One shilling tuppence. That night, my father stayed late at
7:57
Speaker 3: the mine to talk to the owners. When he came home,
8:00
Speaker 3: my brothers were waiting for him at the table.
8:03
Speaker 6: Sit down, Yanto. Sit down, all of you. Supper.
8:06
Speaker 3: We were waiting for you, father. We want to know
8:08
Speaker 3: what happened.
8:09
Speaker 6: The cut is only a few shillings. There will still
8:11
Speaker 6: be plenty for all of us.
8:12
Speaker 3: Why should there be any wage cut, Father?
8:14
Speaker 8: Why, Darby?
8:15
Speaker 6: It is because they are not getting the old price
8:17
Speaker 6: for coal. Come, eat your supper.
8:19
Speaker 3: May we speak first?
8:20
Speaker 8: Well, Yanto.
8:21
Speaker 3: The owners have not given you the real reason for
8:23
Speaker 3: this cut.
8:24
Speaker 2: Huh?
8:24
Speaker 5: Ever since the ironworks at Dallas have closed down, the
8:27
Speaker 5: men from there have come to the colliery willing to
8:29
Speaker 5: work for any wage.
8:30
Speaker 6: So ours come down. And this is only the beginning. Nonsense, Yanto.
8:34
Speaker 6: A good worker is worth good wages, and he will
8:37
Speaker 6: get them. Why should the owners pay more if the
8:38
Speaker 6: men are willing to work for less? Because they are
8:40
Speaker 6: not savages. They are men, too, like us. Men, yes,
8:44
Speaker 6: but not like us.
8:46
Speaker 3: Would they deal with you tonight?
8:48
Speaker 8: No.
8:48
Speaker 6: That is because they have power and we have none.
8:51
Speaker 6: How will we get power, then? From the air?
8:53
Speaker 2: No.
8:53
Speaker 9: From a union of all the men.
8:55
Speaker 6: Union, is it? I had no thought I would ever
8:57
Speaker 6: hear my own sons talking socialist nonsense. What is sense?
9:01
Speaker 3: Unless we stand together. Silence!
9:03
Speaker 6: I'll hear no more about it.
9:04
Speaker 9: This matter is too important for silence.
9:06
Speaker 6: It is not more important than good manners.
9:09
Speaker 9: They will punish you for acting as our spokesman, Father.
9:11
Speaker 9: We must do something about it.
9:12
Speaker 6: Let us all stand together and see how they will
9:14
Speaker 6: act then.
9:15
Speaker 3: Right.
9:16
Speaker 6: The men will come out if we say the word. Quillen,
9:19
Speaker 6: I will not be a plank for your politics. I
9:22
Speaker 6: will not be the excuse for any strike. But, Father.
9:25
Speaker 3: Enough now. It is not enough.
9:26
Speaker 8: Owen.
9:27
Speaker 3: I am sorry, sir, but.
9:28
Speaker 6: Hold your tongue until I have given you permission to speak.
9:31
Speaker 3: I will speak against injustice anywhere.
9:34
Speaker 12: With permission or without?
9:35
Speaker 6: Not in this house.
9:37
Speaker 3: In this house and outside. Leave the room.
9:39
Speaker 5: I will also leave the house. I, too, will leave.
9:43
Speaker 6: I'm with you. We can find lodgings in the village.
9:47
Speaker 6: All of you, then. For the last time, come sit down.
9:50
Speaker 6: Finish your supper. I will say no more. We are
9:53
Speaker 6: not questioning your authority, sir.
9:55
Speaker 5: But if manners prevent our speaking the truth, we will
9:58
Speaker 5: be without manners.
10:01
Speaker 6: Get your clothes and go.
10:02
Speaker 14: Dada.
10:09
Speaker 3: Dada.
10:11
Speaker 7: Yes, Hugh.
10:19
Speaker 8: Yes, my son.
10:22
Speaker 6: I know you are still there.
10:31
Speaker 3: Twenty-two weeks the men were out as the strike moved
10:34
Speaker 3: into winter. Any man who was not their friend became
10:37
Speaker 3: their enemy. They knew that my father had opposed the strike,
10:41
Speaker 3: and now it was they opposed him. One night there
10:44
Speaker 3: was a meeting in the hills. My mother made me
10:46
Speaker 3: take her. She stood before the men in the snow
10:49
Speaker 3: and faced them with fury in her eyes.
10:52
Speaker 6: Wait!
10:54
Speaker 3: Wait!
10:55
Speaker 14: Wait till you have heard me! I am Bess Morgan,
10:59
Speaker 14: as you all know. I have come up here to
11:03
Speaker 14: tell you what I think of you all, because you
11:06
Speaker 14: are talking against my husband. You are a lot of
11:09
Speaker 14: cowards to go against him. He has done nothing against you,
11:12
Speaker 14: and he never would, and.
11:14
Speaker 10: You know it well.
11:15
Speaker 14: To say he is with the owners is not only nonsense,
11:18
Speaker 14: but downright wickedness.
11:19
Speaker 10: There is one thing more.
11:22
Speaker 14: I've got to say, and it is this. If harm
11:25
Speaker 14: comes to my Gwilym, I will find out the men,
11:29
Speaker 14: and I will kill them with my hands.
11:32
Speaker 9: And this I swear by God Almighty.
11:45
Speaker 3: With my mother holding firmly to my arm, we turned
11:47
Speaker 3: and passed through the ranks of strangely silent men and
11:50
Speaker 3: into the bitter wind. For hours, it seemed, we stumbled
11:54
Speaker 3: through the snow toward home. Then on the low wooden
11:57
Speaker 3: bridge over the river, blinded by the storm, we slipped
12:00
Speaker 3: and fell into the icy water. On a rocky ledge,
12:02
Speaker 3: I found support and held my mother clear. How long
12:06
Speaker 3: it was we were there, I cannot tell. But when
12:08
Speaker 3: they found us, it was to carry us home, near
12:11
Speaker 3: to death. For weeks I lay in my bed. And
12:18
Speaker 3: then one day I heard Mr. Griffith speaking to the
12:20
Speaker 3: doctor outside my door. Well, doctor, how long for the
12:26
Speaker 3: little one?
12:26
Speaker 9: It's hard to tell, Mr.
12:28
Speaker 3: Griffith. His legs were frozen to the bone. A year,
12:31
Speaker 3: two years, quiet like that.
12:34
Speaker 6: But I can't promise that he will ever walk again.
12:37
Speaker 3: Nature must take our course, Mr.
12:38
Speaker 6: Griffith.
12:39
Speaker 12: Don't mind your tongue. I think he heard you.
12:40
Speaker 7: Well, I.
12:41
Speaker 12: Let me go to him.
12:46
Speaker 3: Good morning, Hugh.
12:47
Speaker 7: Good morning, sir.
12:49
Speaker 3: Now, now, where is the light I thought to see
12:52
Speaker 3: in your eye? Are you afraid, boy? I.
12:54
Speaker 7: I.
12:56
Speaker 3: You heard what the doctor said, huh?
12:58
Speaker 12: Yes, sir.
12:59
Speaker 3: And you believed it? You want to walk again, don't you?
13:03
Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
13:04
Speaker 3: Then you must have faith. And if you have, you
13:06
Speaker 3: will walk, no matter what all the doctors say.
13:09
Speaker 7: But he said nature must take her course.
13:12
Speaker 3: Nature is the handmaiden of the Lord. I remember one
13:15
Speaker 3: or two occasions when she was given orders to change
13:18
Speaker 3: her course. You know your scripture, boy.
13:20
Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
13:21
Speaker 3: Then you know what's been done before can be done
13:24
Speaker 3: again for you. Do you believe me, Hugh?
13:27
Speaker 8: Yes, sir. Good.
13:29
Speaker 3: You shall see the first daffodil out on the mountain
13:31
Speaker 3: in the spring.
13:32
Speaker 8: Will you?
13:33
Speaker 7: Indeed I will, sir.
13:35
Speaker 3: Then you will. Now, here is the book I have
13:39
Speaker 3: brought you.
13:40
Speaker 7: Treasure Island.
13:41
Speaker 3: Uh-huh. I could almost wish that I were lying there
13:44
Speaker 3: in your place. If it meant reading this book again
13:47
Speaker 3: for the first time, read it, boy. And I will
13:50
Speaker 3: come back and see you soon again.
13:52
Speaker 7: Thank you, sir.
13:58
Speaker 15: Mr.
13:59
Speaker 3: Griffith? Yes, Aunt Harriet.
14:00
Speaker 12: I couldn't let you go without thanking you for giving
14:02
Speaker 12: comfort to my brother.
14:04
Speaker 3: It was only my duty, girl.
14:05
Speaker 12: Oh, no, it was more than duty.
14:07
Speaker 3: Yes, Hugh is a fine boy. And you are a
14:10
Speaker 3: fine family. Will you.
14:13
Speaker 12: Will you be coming to supper soon, Mr. Griffith?
14:16
Speaker 3: Later, perhaps, when you are finished with doctors and such.
14:18
Speaker 12: I will hurry them away then.
14:20
Speaker 3: Good. For many months I lay there and my mother upstairs.
14:33
Speaker 3: And we could talk to each other with tappings on
14:35
Speaker 3: the wall. It was a great day when she came
14:37
Speaker 3: down into her house. On my father's arm, she came
14:40
Speaker 3: to my bed and stood watching me with diamonds in
14:43
Speaker 3: her eyes, her hand to her mouth.
14:46
Speaker 10: You, you, my son, my son.
14:50
Speaker 7: Mama, your hair, it's all white.
14:56
Speaker 10: It's the old snow got into.
14:57
Speaker 15: It, boy.
14:59
Speaker 3: Then she touched my cheek and kissed me fiercely. My
15:02
Speaker 3: father tiptoed to the door and beckoned for my brothers
15:04
Speaker 3: to come in. for they had returned to the house
15:07
Speaker 3: to live. We have come back, mother.
15:09
Speaker 7: Oh.
15:10
Speaker 3: In an instant, my mother was in their arms, not
15:12
Speaker 3: knowing whether to laugh or cry.
15:14
Speaker 16: Yanto.
15:16
Speaker 3: Daddy.
15:17
Speaker 8: Owen. Come, girl, come.
15:20
Speaker 3: Then outside we heard the voices, the men of the
15:22
Speaker 3: mine coming to sing for my mother. Willem.
15:26
Speaker 6: Will you come to the door, girl?
15:28
Speaker 16: But what is it?
15:30
Speaker 3: It is for you, girl.
15:32
Speaker 6: Come along now.
15:33
Speaker 8: Easy, young.
15:35
Speaker 10: Willem.
15:38
Speaker 17: For me?
15:53
Speaker 6: Well, come, say something, girl.
15:55
Speaker 8: Say something!
15:57
Speaker 10: What can I say?
15:58
Speaker 6: You found plenty to say the last time you spoke.
16:01
Speaker 6: It should be easier now with friends.
16:04
Speaker 16: Well, well.
16:06
Speaker 10: Come and eat, everyone.
16:14
Speaker 3: It was a gay time. We laughed and sang fit
16:17
Speaker 3: to burst our lungs. Even old Mr. Parry, the doerest
16:20
Speaker 3: of the elders in our church.
16:22
Speaker 6: Good evening, Yanto Morgan.
16:24
Speaker 3: Good evening, Mr. Parry. Yanto, I haven't seen you in
16:28
Speaker 3: chapel lately.
16:29
Speaker 6: I've been too busy. What business, may I ask? Mine?
16:34
Speaker 11: Huh?
16:34
Speaker 4: Only asking a civil question, I was.
16:37
Speaker 3: And having a civil answer, Mr.
16:38
Speaker 7: Parry.
16:39
Speaker 9: I have been busy with the union.
16:40
Speaker 3: The union. Ah.
16:43
Speaker 6: Unions are the work of the devil.
16:44
Speaker 3: You will come to.
16:45
Speaker 6: No good end, Deontay Morgan. At least I am doing something.
16:48
Speaker 3: Not talking a.
16:49
Speaker 6: Lot of rubbish in chapel.
16:50
Speaker 17: Deontay.
16:53
Speaker 8: Deontay.
16:54
Speaker 3: Why do you think we of the chapel talk rubbish?
16:57
Speaker 3: My remark was not aimed at you, Mr. Griffith. Then
16:59
Speaker 3: aim it. Aim it, my boy.
17:01
Speaker 4: Very well.
17:03
Speaker 5: Because you make yourselves out to be shepherds of the flock,
17:06
Speaker 5: and yet you allow your sheep to live in filth
17:08
Speaker 5: and poverty. And if they try to raise their voices
17:11
Speaker 5: against it, you calm them by saying their suffering is the.
17:13
Speaker 3: Will of God.
17:14
Speaker 6: Deanto. Enough now.
17:16
Speaker 3: Mr. Morgan. Deanto. I have not expressed my views here
17:20
Speaker 3: because I have no wish to interfere with a family disagreement.
17:24
Speaker 6: You have my permission to speak, Mr.
17:26
Speaker 8: Gritty.
17:27
Speaker 3: Well then, here is what I think. Have your union.
17:31
Speaker 8: Alone you are weak.
17:33
Speaker 3: Together you are strong. But remember that with strength goes
17:37
Speaker 3: responsibilities to others and to yourselves. For you cannot conquer
17:42
Speaker 3: injustice with more injustice. Only with justice and with the
17:46
Speaker 3: help of God.
17:47
Speaker 1: Mr.
17:47
Speaker 3: Griffith, are you coming outside your position in life?
17:51
Speaker 6: Your business is spiritual.
17:52
Speaker 8: My business, Mr.
17:53
Speaker 3: Parry, is anything that comes between man and the.
17:56
Speaker 8: Spirit of God.
17:57
Speaker 6: The deacons shall hear that you've been preaching socialism.
18:00
Speaker 4: Mr.
18:00
Speaker 8: Parry!
18:00
Speaker 9: Use the old devil's teeth for it.
18:02
Speaker 3: Yonto, Gwilym!
18:03
Speaker 6: He is our guest. Now, enough. Beth, girl, give Mr.
18:08
Speaker 6: Parry a pint of home-brewed and put his pipe back
18:11
Speaker 6: into his mouth.
18:12
Speaker 10: I will give him a good clout with the frying pan.
18:13
Speaker 6: Oh, no, no, no.
18:16
Speaker 3: Come.
18:17
Speaker 6: A bit of singing, is it? A song or a.
18:20
Speaker 3: Come.
18:20
Speaker 9: Come down the field, my son.
18:22
Speaker 1: When, oh, when, when, oh, when.
18:25
Speaker 8: Oh, fun we found before.
18:27
Speaker 11: When, oh, when.
18:28
Speaker 17: Here comes the.
18:37
Speaker 3: I'm hurried. In the kitchen again?
18:39
Speaker 12: Oh, it is hungry they are.
18:40
Speaker 3: Here, let me help you with the fire.
18:42
Speaker 6: Mr.
18:43
Speaker 12: Griffith, will we always be in your debt? Now you
18:45
Speaker 12: have made us a family again.
18:47
Speaker 3: Ah, there's enough coal, I think.
18:49
Speaker 12: Oh, look at your hands. They'll need cleaning.
18:51
Speaker 3: Here, let me see.
18:52
Speaker 6: Oh.
18:53
Speaker 8: Why, what is it?
18:55
Speaker 12: Why, your hands. They are like my father's and my brother's.
18:59
Speaker 12: Have you been down the mines?
19:00
Speaker 3: Ten years, while I was studying.
19:02
Speaker 12: Ten years?
19:03
Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
19:04
Speaker 12: Oh, here, now, a bit of soap.
19:05
Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, please don't bother. I'll get it.
19:07
Speaker 6: Now, look, you.
19:08
Speaker 12: You are king in the chapel, but I will be
19:10
Speaker 12: queen in my own kitchen. Now, the hands, please.
19:14
Speaker 3: You will be queen wherever you walk.
19:18
Speaker 12: What does that mean? I.
19:20
Speaker 3: I should not have said it.
19:22
Speaker 12: Why not?
19:23
Speaker 3: I have no right to speak to you so.
19:25
Speaker 12: If the right is mine to give, you have it.
19:33
Speaker 17: In just a few moments, Mr.
19:39
Speaker 18: DeMille and our stars, Walter Pigeon, Donald Crisp, Maureen O'Hara,
19:51
Speaker 18: Roddy McDowell, and Sarah Allgood will bring us act two
19:55
Speaker 18: of How Green Was My Valley.
19:58
Speaker 3: Now, here's a young business girl greeting her roommate a
20:01
Speaker 3: bit enviously. Hi, Mary.
20:04
Speaker 12: Oh, lucky you to get home early. Phew, what a
20:06
Speaker 12: day we had. Supper's nearly ready, Jane.
20:07
Speaker 7: Oh, wonderful. I'm certainly for a cozy evening right here
20:11
Speaker 7: at home.
20:12
Speaker 16: Um, darling, now don't get mad, but... I promised we'd
20:15
Speaker 16: both be at the USO dance at nine. They needed
20:18
Speaker 16: more girls. Mary Lou Davis, if you think that... Oh, now, Janie,
20:21
Speaker 16: be an angel. There's plenty of warm water in the bathroom, and...
20:25
Speaker 16: And look, here's a nice new cake of Lux soap. Oh,
20:28
Speaker 16: you'll feel lots different after your beauty bath. I know
20:31
Speaker 16: you will.
20:33
Speaker 3: And later.
20:33
Speaker 16: Oh, to think I might have missed this party.
20:41
Speaker 6: Gosh, it's wonderful dancing with you, Janie.
20:43
Speaker 3: You're mighty sweet, you know.
20:47
Speaker 2: Score one for Jane's smart little roommate. She knew what
20:51
Speaker 2: a wonderful beauty pickup a luxe toilet soap bath can be.
20:56
Speaker 2: Try it next time you're tired and have a date
20:58
Speaker 2: to keep. Cover yourself all over with the rich, creamy
21:02
Speaker 2: luxe soap lather. Active lather that carries away perspiration, every
21:07
Speaker 2: trace of dust and dirt in a twinkling moment. Relax
21:11
Speaker 2: a few moments in this fragrant, delightful bath. When you
21:15
Speaker 2: step out, how soft and smooth your skin feels. And
21:18
Speaker 2: most important of all, it's exquisitely fresh. You're sure of daintiness.
21:24
Speaker 2: Sure of skin that's sweet. Hollywood screen stars use their
21:29
Speaker 2: gentle complexion soap as a daily bath soap, too. They
21:32
Speaker 2: love the delicate perfume luxe soap has. A flower-like fragrance
21:36
Speaker 2: that clings lightly to the skin. you'll find this satin
21:40
Speaker 2: smooth white soap makes a truly luxurious bath. Get three
21:45
Speaker 2: cakes of Lux Toilet Soap tomorrow.
21:48
Speaker 3: Now, our producer, Mr.
21:51
Speaker 8: DeMille.
21:51
Speaker 4: Act two of How Green Was My Valley. Darling Walter
21:54
Speaker 4: Pigeon as Griffith, Donald Crisp as Mr. Morgan, Maureen O'Hara
21:59
Speaker 4: as Ann Harrod, Roddy McDowell as Hugh, and Sarah Allgood
22:04
Speaker 4: as Beth Morgan.
22:16
Speaker 3: While I lay in the wall bed, recovering from my hurt,
22:19
Speaker 3: the strike was settled and the men returned to the mine.
22:23
Speaker 3: Always through that time I kept my faith that I
22:26
Speaker 3: would walk again. Then one bright windy day in early spring, Mr.
22:31
Speaker 3: Griffith came for me as he had promised. He carried
22:34
Speaker 3: me to the top of the hill above our village.
22:38
Speaker 3: Now then, boy. Down you go.
22:41
Speaker 8: There.
22:43
Speaker 3: Now, put your feet apart and stand on them.
22:46
Speaker 12: Yes, sir.
22:48
Speaker 3: Now, you can walk, Hugh, if you try.
22:51
Speaker 8: Come, lad.
22:53
Speaker 3: Walk to me.
22:54
Speaker 7: Can I, sir?
22:56
Speaker 8: Walk over here. One step. One step. Oh.
23:01
Speaker 6: And now another.
23:03
Speaker 3: Come on. See?
23:04
Speaker 10: I'm walking.
23:06
Speaker 7: He's walking, I am, sir.
23:08
Speaker 3: There's a good lad. There's a good old man you are. Now,
23:13
Speaker 3: rest a bit, eh?
23:14
Speaker 7: Mr.
23:15
Speaker 10: Griffith, I have walked.
23:16
Speaker 3: Of course you have. And you have been lucky, Hugh.
23:20
Speaker 3: Lucky to suffer and lucky to spend these weary months
23:24
Speaker 3: in your bed. For so God has given you the
23:26
Speaker 3: chance to make spirit within yourself. And as your father
23:30
Speaker 3: cleans his lamp to have good light, so keep clean
23:33
Speaker 3: your spirits.
23:34
Speaker 7: How, sir?
23:35
Speaker 3: By prayer, boy. And I don't mean shouting and mumbling
23:39
Speaker 3: and wallowing in religious sentiment. Prayer is only another name
23:43
Speaker 3: for good, clean, direct thinking. When you pray, think. Think
23:48
Speaker 3: well what you are saying and make your thoughts into
23:51
Speaker 3: things that are solid. In that manner, your prayer will
23:54
Speaker 3: have strength, and that strength shall become a part of you, mind, body,
24:00
Speaker 3: and spirit.
24:01
Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
24:02
Speaker 6: Now then, up on my shoulders, boy. And remember, the.
24:06
Speaker 3: First duty of these new legs is to get you
24:08
Speaker 3: to chapel on Sunday.
24:09
Speaker 7: Oh, they will, sir. They will.
24:19
Speaker 3: My new legs carried me to chapel, and home again, too.
24:23
Speaker 3: And it was on that Sunday that Mr. Evans came
24:26
Speaker 3: to call on my father.
24:27
Speaker 6: Mr. Evans, the owner of the mine.
24:31
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes.
24:34
Speaker 6: Come in, come in. What under the blaze?
24:37
Speaker 12: Who is it?
24:38
Speaker 15: Good morning, Morgan.
24:41
Speaker 3: Oh, Mr. Evans.
24:43
Speaker 6: Good morning, Mr.
24:43
Speaker 3: Evans.
24:45
Speaker 6: Sit down, sir.
24:46
Speaker 3: Thank you, Morgan. Oh, your pardon.
24:50
Speaker 6: A pail of water, sir. I've been soaking my poor.
24:53
Speaker 8: Feet, sir.
24:54
Speaker 3: Beth, my boots, my boots.
24:58
Speaker 9: Now, Morgan, to business.
25:00
Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
25:01
Speaker 6: I've come here on a very delicate mission, Morgan. No
25:04
Speaker 6: trouble at the mine, sir?
25:05
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no trouble, but it worries me. Yes, sir.
25:09
Speaker 13: I'm here to get your permission, and that my son, Yestin,
25:13
Speaker 13: may have permission.
25:16
Speaker 9: Bless you, Morgan.
25:17
Speaker 3: Thank you, sir. Now, where was I?
25:20
Speaker 7: Uh.
25:21
Speaker 6: Permission.
25:22
Speaker 8: Oh, yes, yes.
25:23
Speaker 4: Permission.
25:24
Speaker 13: That my son, Yestin, may have permission... with your daughter,
25:28
Speaker 13: Anne Harrod's permission... to call upon her.
25:31
Speaker 5: There we are.
25:33
Speaker 6: Your son and my.
25:36
Speaker 6: Oh-ho.
25:39
Speaker 8: Well, Morgan?
25:42
Speaker 9: We are a very proud family, Mr.
25:44
Speaker 8: Evans.
25:46
Speaker 6: But you have my permission, Mr.
25:48
Speaker 3: Evans.
25:49
Speaker 6: to give your son permission... to speak to Angharad with
25:53
Speaker 6: her permission.
25:53
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, Morgan. I'm very much obliged to you.
25:57
Speaker 3: He's just outside. I'll tell him. I'm much obliged.
26:00
Speaker 9: Good day, sir. Good day.
26:01
Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
26:02
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
26:02
Speaker 9: Good day.
26:04
Speaker 11: Beth!
26:05
Speaker 3: My boots!
26:06
Speaker 9: My boots, girl!
26:15
Speaker 3: And so it was that wealthy Yeston Evans came to
26:18
Speaker 3: ask for Angharad in marriage. And Mr. Griffiths knew of
26:21
Speaker 3: it and stayed away from our house. For a whole week,
26:24
Speaker 3: we never saw his face. Until at last, Angharad could
26:27
Speaker 3: wait no longer.
26:30
Speaker 8: Who is it?
26:31
Speaker 3: One moment. Angharad, you shouldn't be here.
26:37
Speaker 12: I couldn't spend another night without knowing. What has happened?
26:40
Speaker 11: What is wrong?
26:41
Speaker 3: Wrong?
26:42
Speaker 12: Oh, you know what I mean. Why have you changed
26:44
Speaker 12: towards me? Why am I a stranger now? What have
26:46
Speaker 12: I done?
26:47
Speaker 8: No.
26:49
Speaker 3: You've done nothing. The blame is mine. Your mother spoke
26:52
Speaker 3: to me after chapel. She is happy to think you
26:55
Speaker 3: will be having plenty all your days.
26:56
Speaker 12: Well, yes, and Ivan.
26:57
Speaker 3: You could do no better.
26:59
Speaker 12: I don't want him.
27:00
Speaker 3: I want you. Angharad, I too have spent nights trying
27:05
Speaker 3: to think this thing out. When I took up this work,
27:08
Speaker 3: I knew what it meant. It meant devotion and sacrifice.
27:12
Speaker 3: That I was perfectly willing to do. But to share
27:16
Speaker 3: it with another, do you think I'll have you going...
27:19
Speaker 3: threadbare all your life, depending on the charity of others
27:22
Speaker 3: for your good meals, our children growing up in cast-off clothing,
27:27
Speaker 3: and ourselves thanking God for parenthood in a house full
27:30
Speaker 3: of bits?
27:30
Speaker 12: It could make no difference.
27:31
Speaker 3: No. I can bear with such a life for the
27:34
Speaker 3: sake of my work. But I think I would start
27:37
Speaker 3: to kill if I saw the white come to your
27:41
Speaker 3: hair 20 years before its time.
27:43
Speaker 12: Why? Why would you start to kill?
27:47
Speaker 3: Look at me.
27:48
Speaker 12: Are you a man or a saint?
27:50
Speaker 3: I am no saint, but I have a duty towards you.
27:54
Speaker 3: Let me do it. Go back to your house, Angharad.
27:58
Speaker 8: It is late.
28:10
Speaker 3: My sister and Yeston Evans were married at the chapel
28:13
Speaker 3: by Mr.
28:13
Speaker 8: Griffith.
28:14
Speaker 3: My sister left our village then to live in Cape Town...
28:18
Speaker 3: My brothers, Willem and Owen, left too for America. And
28:21
Speaker 3: our house was lonely without them.
28:24
Speaker 6: Mr.
28:24
Speaker 3: Griffith used to come of an evening to tutor me
28:26
Speaker 3: for school. Many problems he gave us, me and my father,
28:30
Speaker 3: sitting in the kitchen.
28:31
Speaker 8: By the stove.
28:33
Speaker 3: Now then, the bathtub holds 100 gallons. A, fills it
28:39
Speaker 3: at the rate of 20 gallons a minute. And B,
28:43
Speaker 3: at the rate of 10 gallons a minute.
28:45
Speaker 8: Got that, Mr.
28:45
Speaker 19: Morgan?
28:46
Speaker 6: Twenty and ten gallons. Yes, sir.
28:49
Speaker 3: Now then, C is a hole that empties it at
28:53
Speaker 3: the rate of five gallons a minute. How long to
28:55
Speaker 3: fill the tub?
28:57
Speaker 9: Oh, that is silly.
28:58
Speaker 10: Trying to fill a bathtub full of holes, indeed.
29:02
Speaker 6: A sum it is, girl, a sum. A problem for
29:04
Speaker 6: the mind. For Hugh's examination into school next month.
29:07
Speaker 14: That old national school. It's silly they are with their sums.
29:11
Speaker 14: Who would pour water in a bathtub full of holes?
29:14
Speaker 10: Who would think of it only a madman?
29:16
Speaker 6: It is to see if the boy can calculate girl.
29:20
Speaker 3: Figures, nothing else.
29:21
Speaker 6: How many gallons and how long?
29:23
Speaker 10: In a bathtub full of holes.
29:26
Speaker 6: Now I know why I have such a tribe of sons.
29:29
Speaker 3: It is you, Beth Morgan, is the cause.
29:32
Speaker 6: Look you, Mr. Griffith, have you something else?
29:35
Speaker 3: Ah, the decimal point.
29:37
Speaker 6: The decimal?
29:38
Speaker 3: Yeah. The decimal point, then.
29:41
Speaker 6: And peace to my house.
29:42
Speaker 10: Oh, go and scratch.
29:53
Speaker 3: I went to the national school. On the first day,
29:56
Speaker 3: I returned in tatters with my face bruised and bleeding.
29:59
Speaker 3: It had been a fight in the yard with a
30:01
Speaker 3: school bully.
30:02
Speaker 9: What happened, Hugh?
30:03
Speaker 6: What is it, lad?
30:04
Speaker 9: Speak up. I.
30:06
Speaker 7: I fell on the mountain.
30:07
Speaker 3: Fell indeed.
30:08
Speaker 16: Look at him.
30:10
Speaker 8: Ah, Hugh.
30:11
Speaker 6: Did you win, boy? No. Yanto, fetch Daibando, the fighter.
30:17
Speaker 6: Bring him here.
30:17
Speaker 9: Daibando it is.
30:18
Speaker 3: Willem!
30:19
Speaker 11: Quiet, girl.
30:21
Speaker 6: Hugh, are you willing to go to school tomorrow?
30:23
Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
30:24
Speaker 3: Good.
30:26
Speaker 6: From tonight, you shall get a penny for every mark
30:28
Speaker 6: on your face sixpence for a bloody nose, a shilling
30:32
Speaker 6: for a black eye, and two shillings for a broken nose.
30:35
Speaker 10: William, stop it.
30:37
Speaker 14: Fight again, Hugh, and when you come home, not another
30:40
Speaker 14: look will you get from me, not another word.
30:42
Speaker 10: Break your old nose, then. Break your mother's heart every
30:44
Speaker 10: time you go out of the house.
30:46
Speaker 6: A boy must fight, Beth.
30:47
Speaker 3: Fight?
30:48
Speaker 2: Fight, is it?
30:49
Speaker 10: Another beating like that, and he'll walk home dead?
30:53
Speaker 1: Beating?
30:53
Speaker 6: Beating, is it? He's had no beating. A hiding, yes,
30:57
Speaker 6: but no beating. Give the boy time. And it will
31:00
Speaker 6: be he that's giving the beating, is it?
31:02
Speaker 8: Mr.
31:02
Speaker 3: Morgan.
31:03
Speaker 11: Ah, Daibando.
31:04
Speaker 6: Come into the house.
31:06
Speaker 3: Good evening. Good evening, Mrs.
31:07
Speaker 9: Morgan.
31:08
Speaker 10: Leave off your hat.
31:09
Speaker 9: Yes, Mrs.
31:09
Speaker 3: Morgan.
31:10
Speaker 6: Is Cafata coming?
31:11
Speaker 19: He's here.
31:13
Speaker 3: Cafata?
31:14
Speaker 2: A match, is it?
31:15
Speaker 6: He'll make no match without his trainer, Mr. Morgan.
31:17
Speaker 3: Oh, it's not a match.
31:19
Speaker 6: I want you to teach my son how to box.
31:20
Speaker 9: No, no, to fight first. Too many call themselves boxers
31:25
Speaker 9: who are not even fighters. Boxing is an art, is it?
31:28
Speaker 6: It is, it is.
31:30
Speaker 7: An art.
31:30
Speaker 10: Bloody heads, an art.
31:32
Speaker 6: Oh, go along with your girl. A cup of tea
31:35
Speaker 6: for the men, is it?
31:36
Speaker 3: Tea?
31:36
Speaker 11: No tea, Mrs.
31:37
Speaker 7: Morgan.
31:37
Speaker 10: No, in training we are.
31:39
Speaker 9: A glass of beer, if you please.
31:41
Speaker 10: That tub's full of holes. And now price, by all means.
31:44
Speaker 9: Now, boy, to work. Your hands like this.
31:48
Speaker 7: Go.
31:48
Speaker 3: Yes, sir. Your feet apart.
31:50
Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
31:51
Speaker 9: Now, mind your guard. And when your man rushes, you.
31:54
Speaker 8: Do so and so.
31:56
Speaker 5: Right up, right up now.
32:02
Speaker 9: Hit him, you.
32:03
Speaker 8: Go on, go on.
32:04
Speaker 6: You've got him now.
32:05
Speaker 7: Hit him, you.
32:06
Speaker 3: Stop it.
32:07
Speaker 6: Stop it, I say.
32:08
Speaker 7: Mr. Jonas, mind you.
32:12
Speaker 3: So, our little coal mining friend has been indulging in
32:16
Speaker 3: his favorite.
32:16
Speaker 6: Sport again, eh?
32:18
Speaker 7: I was fighting, Mr.
32:19
Speaker 4: Jonas.
32:19
Speaker 16: But it is not my favorite sport, sir.
32:21
Speaker 3: Come here.
32:23
Speaker 9: You see this sick?
32:24
Speaker 6: You know what it is for?
32:25
Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
32:26
Speaker 12: Good.
32:27
Speaker 3: Fight, will you?
32:28
Speaker 8: Fight, eh?
32:29
Speaker 6: I'll teach you to fight, you dirty little sweep.
32:32
Speaker 3: I'll teach you to fight.
32:41
Speaker 9: Well, I will go to my death.
32:43
Speaker 3: He's cut to the bone.
32:44
Speaker 9: Did you get that in school, Hugh? I.
32:47
Speaker 7: I was fighting.
32:47
Speaker 8: Who was it?
32:48
Speaker 3: Mr. Jonas, is it?
32:50
Speaker 9: We'll have a word with Mr.
32:50
Speaker 3: Jonas. No.
32:52
Speaker 6: And why not?
32:52
Speaker 7: I broke the rule when I fought.
32:54
Speaker 9: There is no rule for that.
32:56
Speaker 7: But he warned me.
32:56
Speaker 8: Rubbish, boy.
32:57
Speaker 3: Wait, Davy. This is Hugh's affair.
32:59
Speaker 6: He shall decide. Say the word, lad, and we'll have
33:02
Speaker 6: the bones hot from his flesh.
33:04
Speaker 7: No.
33:04
Speaker 12: Leave him alone.
33:06
Speaker 3: Carry him into the house.
33:07
Speaker 8: Carry him in.
33:08
Speaker 18: Easy, lad.
33:09
Speaker 5: Easy.
33:11
Speaker 3: Cavarfa. Well, Davando? The lad is hurt bad.
33:15
Speaker 1: He is?
33:17
Speaker 3: I think there is work for us, is it?
33:20
Speaker 4: There is.
33:32
Speaker 6: This class will come to order.
33:36
Speaker 19: Yesterday, all of you brilliant children made some progress, a
33:40
Speaker 19: very small progress, in the matter.
33:43
Speaker 6: Of linear measurements. We will now begin.
33:46
Speaker 9: Good morning.
33:49
Speaker 7: Yes?
33:50
Speaker 6: What is it?
33:51
Speaker 10: Good morning, Mr.
33:53
Speaker 6: Jonas is my name.
33:54
Speaker 3: Ah, Jonas.
33:55
Speaker 9: We have come to the right place indeed, Cavartha.
33:58
Speaker 7: Mr.
33:59
Speaker 9: Jonas, I am Daibando.
34:02
Speaker 3: What can I do for you?
34:03
Speaker 9: A man is never too old to learn, is it, Mr.
34:05
Speaker 8: Jonas? No.
34:07
Speaker 9: I was in school myself once, but no great one
34:10
Speaker 9: for knowledge.
34:12
Speaker 3: Look here, what do you want?
34:13
Speaker 9: Knowledge, Mr.
34:14
Speaker 3: Jonas.
34:15
Speaker 9: How would you go about taking the measurement.
34:18
Speaker 12: Of a stick?
34:19
Speaker 3: By length, of course.
34:20
Speaker 9: And how would you measure a man who would use
34:23
Speaker 9: a stick on a boy one-third his size?
34:25
Speaker 2: Yes, how?
34:27
Speaker 3: I don't understand.
34:28
Speaker 9: Now, you are good in the use of a stick, Mr.
34:30
Speaker 3: Jonas.
34:31
Speaker 9: But boxing is my subject, according to the rules laid
34:35
Speaker 9: down by the good Marquis of Queensberry.
34:37
Speaker 3: Heaven rest his soul.
34:38
Speaker 9: And happy I am to pass on my knowledge to you.
34:42
Speaker 6: What do you want, then?
34:43
Speaker 9: Get him into position now, Cavartha.
34:46
Speaker 3: Yes.
34:46
Speaker 9: Put up your fist, Mr.
34:48
Speaker 16: Jonas.
34:48
Speaker 3: Stop it!
34:48
Speaker 6: Stop it!
34:49
Speaker 9: Now look. To make a good boxer, you must have
34:52
Speaker 9: a good right hand like this, Mr. Jonas. You see?
34:58
Speaker 9: Stand him up, Cavartha.
35:01
Speaker 7: Up it is.
35:02
Speaker 3: Up, Mr.
35:03
Speaker 9: Jonas. And this, Mr. Jonas, is how you will punish
35:07
Speaker 9: a man with your left. And put your soul into it. Oh, no, no, stop!
35:13
Speaker 11: Here, here, here, Mr.
35:14
Speaker 3: Jonas.
35:15
Speaker 9: No sleeping now.
35:16
Speaker 10: Why, the gentleman's talking to you.
35:18
Speaker 9: Raise him up.
35:20
Speaker 3: On your feet, Mr.
35:21
Speaker 6: Jonas.
35:21
Speaker 9: Why, the lesson's only beginning. Boys and girls, could I
35:24
Speaker 9: have your attention, please? I am not accustomed to speaking
35:28
Speaker 9: in public.
35:28
Speaker 3: Only public houses.
35:29
Speaker 19: But this blow, never you. It's against the rules. Break
35:35
Speaker 19: a man's nose. But this one is there.
35:40
Speaker 10: Help him.
35:40
Speaker 4: He's asleep again.
35:41
Speaker 9: Asleep, is it? I'm afraid he will never make a boxer.
35:46
Speaker 9: No aptitude for knowledge. Good morning, Mr.
35:49
Speaker 8: Jonas.
35:58
Speaker 3: I stayed on at the National School and Mr. Jonas left.
36:02
Speaker 3: And then one evening as I returned home, I heard
36:04
Speaker 3: the whistle at the mine. The whistle that meant only
36:09
Speaker 3: one thing to us. Tragedy.
36:11
Speaker 8: An accident.
36:13
Speaker 3: Someone in that black pit had died.
36:14
Speaker 7: Mr.
36:15
Speaker 17: Griffiths!
36:18
Speaker 3: Mr. Griffiths!
36:18
Speaker 19: You!
36:19
Speaker 3: Come here!
36:20
Speaker 17: Someone hurt!
36:20
Speaker 7: Who is it?
36:21
Speaker 8: Quiet, lad.
36:22
Speaker 3: We'll know in a moment. They are bringing up the cage.
36:24
Speaker 8: Stand back!
36:25
Speaker 9: Here's the cage!
36:27
Speaker 7: Tell her who it is!
36:29
Speaker 6: Quiet, girl, quiet.
36:30
Speaker 17: Mr.
36:31
Speaker 3: Griffith.
36:31
Speaker 8: Well, Ianto, who is it?
36:33
Speaker 6: It's Ivo. He fell under a tram on the lower level.
36:36
Speaker 3: He's been killed. And so Ivo was gone. Ivo, the eldest,
36:50
Speaker 3: the solid and dependable one. And our grief was nameless.
36:58
Speaker 3: There came a time later when I returned from school
37:01
Speaker 3: with my certificate of graduation. My father's eyes were pride-filled
37:05
Speaker 3: when I placed it in his hand.
37:08
Speaker 6: That is a good paper. With honors, then.
37:11
Speaker 3: Our son is a.
37:12
Speaker 6: Scholar, girl.
37:13
Speaker 12: What is it, you?
37:14
Speaker 10: I can't make sense with it.
37:16
Speaker 6: Latin it is.
37:17
Speaker 7: It is written in Latin, Mama?
37:19
Speaker 14: Latin is it.
37:20
Speaker 10: Why not good Welsh? Or even English?
37:23
Speaker 6: It is the fashion, girl.
37:24
Speaker 3: Fashion.
37:26
Speaker 10: Decimal point. and bathtubs full of holes. Oh, my poor Hugh.
37:31
Speaker 10: They've stuffed your head with Latin, then.
37:33
Speaker 6: Beth, my old beauty, you.
37:36
Speaker 9: A black eye, is it?
37:37
Speaker 10: Latin.
37:39
Speaker 6: Now then, Hugh, what will it be? To Cardiff to school?
37:43
Speaker 6: Then the university to be a lawyer, is it? Or
37:46
Speaker 6: a doctor?
37:47
Speaker 3: Dr.
37:47
Speaker 10: Hugh Morgan.
37:48
Speaker 14: That'll be something special. With a lovely horse and trap,
37:51
Speaker 14: and a good black suit and a shirt with starch.
37:53
Speaker 10: Oh, that is good, my little one.
37:55
Speaker 6: Well, Hugh, What will it be?
37:59
Speaker 7: I will go down the colliery with you, sir.
38:01
Speaker 8: The colliery?
38:03
Speaker 6: Have sense, boy. The colliery is no place for you.
38:06
Speaker 6: Why not try for a respectable job?
38:09
Speaker 10: Respectable? Are you and his brothers a lot of old.
38:11
Speaker 9: Jailbirds, then?
38:12
Speaker 6: Oh, leave it now, Beth. I only want the best
38:16
Speaker 6: for the boy.
38:17
Speaker 10: If he is as good a man as you and
38:18
Speaker 10: his brothers, I will rest happy.
38:21
Speaker 6: I'm thinking of the boy's future. Hugh is a scholar.
38:25
Speaker 6: Why take brains down a coal mine?
38:26
Speaker 7: I would rather, sir.
38:28
Speaker 3: All right.
38:29
Speaker 6: Decide for yourself, but blame yourself if you are wrong now.
38:33
Speaker 7: The colliery, sir.
38:35
Speaker 6: All right, the colliery it is. Good night.
38:38
Speaker 10: Where are you going?
38:39
Speaker 6: To get drunk.
38:47
Speaker 3: It was to work, then. Work to earn bread for
38:50
Speaker 3: those one loves. But I felt a man in truth.
38:53
Speaker 3: to be coming up the colliery cage with my father,
38:56
Speaker 3: sharing his tiredness, blacked by the same dust. And I
38:59
Speaker 3: was happy. Then in time, my sister Angharad came back,
39:04
Speaker 3: but alone, without her husband. She did not come to
39:08
Speaker 3: our house, but stayed at the big Ivan's house, her house,
39:13
Speaker 3: on the top of the hill. Who is it?
39:19
Speaker 7: To see Mrs. Evans, please.
39:20
Speaker 6: And who are you?
39:21
Speaker 12: I am Hugh Morgan.
39:22
Speaker 6: Oh, her brother.
39:23
Speaker 10: Her brother, is it, Enid?
39:25
Speaker 16: Yes, Mrs.
39:25
Speaker 10: Nicholas. Hugh Morgan.
39:27
Speaker 3: This way, please.
39:30
Speaker 12: Is that someone for me, Mrs.
39:32
Speaker 15: Nicholas?
39:32
Speaker 7: It's your brother, Mrs.
39:33
Speaker 3: Evans.
39:34
Speaker 7: Hugh.
39:35
Speaker 3: Oh, Hugh.
39:35
Speaker 7: You didn't come to see us, Anne Harrod.
39:37
Speaker 6: Hugh.
39:39
Speaker 3: Mrs.
39:39
Speaker 12: Nicholas, will you bring some tea, please?
39:41
Speaker 7: Tea?
39:42
Speaker 2: Yes, Mrs.
39:43
Speaker 3: Evans.
39:44
Speaker 12: Sit down, Hugh. Oh, there is grown you are and changed.
39:48
Speaker 7: You, too.
39:49
Speaker 12: Oh, I look ill and ought to take care of myself.
39:52
Speaker 12: Everyone coming in the house says so. So you say it, too,
39:54
Speaker 12: and let us finish with it. But tell me all
39:57
Speaker 12: the news.
39:57
Speaker 4: How is.
39:59
Speaker 12: How are all the boys and girls we used to know?
40:01
Speaker 7: Well, the Jenkins girls are married.
40:04
Speaker 10: Maudwin Hughes is going.
40:05
Speaker 7: To be a doctor. Reese Howells is in a solicitor's office.
40:09
Speaker 7: And Mr. Griffith is still first up and last to bed.
40:14
Speaker 12: Hugh, how is he?
40:16
Speaker 7: Not as he was.
40:18
Speaker 12: Is he ill?
40:19
Speaker 7: Inside. In his eyes and in his voice. Like you.
40:23
Speaker 12: Please go home, you. Go home at once.
40:25
Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
40:26
Speaker 10: Now then, Mrs. Evans, tea is it.
40:28
Speaker 9: Here you are.
40:29
Speaker 12: Leave it, Mrs.
40:30
Speaker 6: Nicholas.
40:30
Speaker 3: I will pour.
40:31
Speaker 10: Well, I always did the pouring for Mr. Yeston's poor mother.
40:35
Speaker 12: I will pour, I said.
40:36
Speaker 6: Yes, Mrs.
40:37
Speaker 3: Evans.
40:38
Speaker 10: A new mistress is like new sheets.
40:40
Speaker 7: A little bit stiff, but washing's to come.
40:45
Speaker 12: Why do you have her here? Oh, 37 years with
40:48
Speaker 12: the family. Or so she tells me 60 times a day.
40:51
Speaker 12: Have some tea, Hugh.
40:53
Speaker 7: You don't want me to go? No, Hugh.
40:56
Speaker 12: I'm sorry for being nasty. Please stay.
41:00
Speaker 6: Oh, Hugh.
41:01
Speaker 3: I tried to tell Mother.
41:03
Speaker 12: I tried to write.
41:04
Speaker 7: Oh, Hugh.
41:08
Speaker 12: It's lonely, I am.
41:09
Speaker 3: Oh. Below in the kitchen, the tongues began to wag. Mrs.
41:23
Speaker 3: Nicholas and the women of the neighborhood.
41:26
Speaker 10: Not for me to say. Only the housekeeper I am.
41:29
Speaker 10: Thirty-seven years in the family and living to curse the day. Why,
41:32
Speaker 10: what is it, Mrs.
41:33
Speaker 3: Nicholas?
41:33
Speaker 17: Divorce.
41:34
Speaker 3: Divorce?
41:35
Speaker 8: No.
41:36
Speaker 10: Saying nothing I am, but that is what is in
41:38
Speaker 10: her mind. She's here without her husband, is it? And why?
41:42
Speaker 10: It is because she's in love with this preacher.
41:44
Speaker 12: Preacher?
41:45
Speaker 10: Preacher, I said, Mr.
41:46
Speaker 9: Griffith, it is.
41:47
Speaker 3: But Mr.
41:48
Speaker 12: Griffith has not been near the house.
41:49
Speaker 10: What difference is that, girl? Not a word now. We
41:52
Speaker 10: will not say a word, Mrs.
41:53
Speaker 7: Nicholas.
41:55
Speaker 12: No, indeed, not a word.
42:03
Speaker 3: Divorce.
42:03
Speaker 10: Mr.
42:04
Speaker 9: Griffith it is.
42:04
Speaker 10: The preacher and Mrs.
42:06
Speaker 12: Evans. Don't say I told you.
42:08
Speaker 3: Divorce.
42:09
Speaker 18: Divorce.
42:12
Speaker 3: The knives that can be hidden in idle tongues. For
42:16
Speaker 3: generations the Morgans had lived in this valley.
42:18
Speaker 7: Mr. Griffith and Mrs.
42:19
Speaker 8: Evans.
42:20
Speaker 3: And now our name was touched with slander.
42:23
Speaker 8: Divorce.
42:24
Speaker 3: Our house looked strange to me. And then I knew why.
42:28
Speaker 3: For the first time I could remember... Our front door
42:32
Speaker 3: was shut tight in the daytime.
42:47
Speaker 2: We pause now for station identification. This is the Columbia

46:06
Speaker 3: As the slag had spread over my valley, so now
46:09
Speaker 3: a blackness spread over the minds of its people. My
46:13
Speaker 3: sister and the preacher. Each day I heard their names together.
46:17
Speaker 3: And as many times did I fight in the streets.
46:22
Speaker 7: Dada?
46:23
Speaker 6: Fighting again, Hugh? More trouble with the Philistines, is it?
46:27
Speaker 7: Yes, Dada.
46:28
Speaker 3: Hugh?
46:28
Speaker 10: What is it now? Look at your face. Even John.
46:32
Speaker 7: He... He said things about Angharad and Mr. Griffith.
46:36
Speaker 3: Children, too.
46:38
Speaker 6: You were right, my son.
46:40
Speaker 3: You were right to fight.
46:42
Speaker 6: My coat, girl. I'm going to the mine.
46:44
Speaker 9: You will be back? I will be back for breakfast.
46:46
Speaker 10: You will not go to chapel then?
46:48
Speaker 8: No.
46:50
Speaker 6: And if they do this thing, I will never set
46:52
Speaker 6: foot in the chapel again as long as I live.
46:55
Speaker 10: I will have the sheets warm on your bed.
46:57
Speaker 6: There's an old beauty you are.
47:00
Speaker 10: Go and scratch, boy.
47:04
Speaker 7: Mother, what is this about the chapel?
47:07
Speaker 10: Tonight, after the service. A deacon's meeting over Angharad.
47:11
Speaker 7: Angharad? But she has done nothing.
47:14
Speaker 10: Nothing is enough for people who have minds like theirs.
47:17
Speaker 14: Oh, Hugh, my little one, I hope when you're grown,
47:20
Speaker 14: their tongues will be slower to hurt.
47:23
Speaker 7: But will Angharad be at the meeting?
47:24
Speaker 10: No, none of us will be there. For the disgrace
47:27
Speaker 10: will not stay away.
47:29
Speaker 3: I will go, Mother. Mr. Griffith spoke that night in
47:40
Speaker 3: the chapel. Pale and looking very old, he descended from
47:44
Speaker 3: the pulpit and faced the deacons. This is the last
47:49
Speaker 3: time I will talk in this chapel. I am leaving
47:53
Speaker 3: the valley with regret toward those who have helped me
47:56
Speaker 3: here and who have let me help them.
47:59
Speaker 8: But for the rest of.
48:00
Speaker 3: You, those of you who have only proved that I
48:03
Speaker 3: have wasted my time among you, I have only this
48:07
Speaker 3: to say. There is not one among you who has
48:10
Speaker 3: had the courage to come to me... and accuse me
48:13
Speaker 3: of wrongdoing. And yet, by any standard, if there has
48:16
Speaker 3: been a sin... I am the one who should be
48:18
Speaker 3: branded the sinner. Will anyone raise his voice here now
48:22
Speaker 3: to accuse me? No. You're cowards too, as well as hypocrites.
48:29
Speaker 3: But I don't blame you. The fault is mine as
48:31
Speaker 3: much as yours. The idle tongues. The poverty of mind
48:37
Speaker 3: which you have shown... mean that I have failed to
48:39
Speaker 3: reach most of you with the lesson I was given
48:42
Speaker 3: to teach. I thought when I was a young man
48:46
Speaker 3: that I would conquer the world with truth, with the
48:48
Speaker 3: golden sound of the word. But only a few of
48:52
Speaker 3: you heard. Only a few of you understood. The rest
48:56
Speaker 3: of you put on black and sat in chapel. Why
48:59
Speaker 3: do you come here? Why do you dress your hypocrisy
49:03
Speaker 3: in black and parade it before your God on Sunday?
49:06
Speaker 3: From love? No, for you've shown that your hearts are
49:09
Speaker 3: too withered to receive the love of your divine father.
49:12
Speaker 8: I know why you've come.
49:14
Speaker 3: I've seen it in your faces Sunday after Sunday as
49:17
Speaker 3: I've stood here before you.
49:19
Speaker 8: Fear has brought me here.
49:20
Speaker 3: You here. Horrible, superstitious fear. Fear of divine retribution. A
49:26
Speaker 3: bolt of fire from the skies. The vengeance of the
49:29
Speaker 3: Lord and the justice of God. But you have forgotten
49:34
Speaker 3: the love of Jesus. You disregard his sacrifice. Death, fear, flames, horror,
49:43
Speaker 3: and black clothes. Hold your meeting then, but know if
49:47
Speaker 3: you do this in the name of God and in
49:49
Speaker 3: the house of God, you blaspheme against him and his word.
49:56
Speaker 3: My dear Angharad, I am leaving the valley. I am
50:17
Speaker 3: leaving tonight, and... Mr. Griffith? Well, Hugh, I'm glad you've come.
50:28
Speaker 7: Thank you, sir. Is there anything I can do?
50:32
Speaker 3: Indeed there is. You can do me a great service.
50:36
Speaker 3: This watch, my father gave it to me when I
50:40
Speaker 3: entered the ministry. It's marked time we both love.
50:45
Speaker 8: Take it.
50:46
Speaker 3: Oh, no, sir. A service, I said you'd.
50:48
Speaker 8: Be doing me.
50:50
Speaker 3: No need for us to shake hands, Hugh. We will
50:53
Speaker 3: live in the minds of each other.
50:54
Speaker 12: Mr.
50:54
Speaker 7: Griffin, won't you see Angharad before you go? She wants
50:59
Speaker 7: you to.
51:00
Speaker 8: No.
51:01
Speaker 3: If I were to see her again, Hugh, I couldn't
51:04
Speaker 3: find the strength to leave her.
51:07
Speaker 8: Goodbye, boy.
51:09
Speaker 3: And there's a good old man you are. Listen.
51:12
Speaker 8: It's the mine.
51:13
Speaker 16: Something's happened at the mine.
51:14
Speaker 3: Come along, lad.
51:15
Speaker 7: Mr. Griffiths, Daddy is there.
51:17
Speaker 1: Daddy is there.
51:18
Speaker 12: Come along.
51:24
Speaker 9: A cave-in, it was. A cave-in on the lower level.
51:28
Speaker 19: My man is there.
51:29
Speaker 6: Let me through.
51:30
Speaker 9: My man is there. A cave-in and 30 men beneath it.
51:34
Speaker 9: There's another cage coming up. Stand back, you men.
51:36
Speaker 8: Stand back.
51:37
Speaker 3: Those women with relatives, let them to the pit.
51:40
Speaker 9: There they are, the second cave.
51:42
Speaker 6: Oh, Ingrid. Ingrid.
51:45
Speaker 3: Mr.
51:45
Speaker 9: Griffith, why don't she gather?
51:46
Speaker 3: Guy, is Gwilym Morgan up?
51:48
Speaker 9: Not yet, sir. Gwilym Morgan.
51:49
Speaker 10: Gwilym Morgan.
51:50
Speaker 12: Has anyone seen Gwilym Morgan?
51:51
Speaker 3: Ung Horrid. My father.
51:53
Speaker 8: He is still there.
51:55
Speaker 12: Oh, still there.
51:56
Speaker 7: Mama.
51:57
Speaker 3: Willem. Men. Men, listen to me. Who is for Willem
52:02
Speaker 3: Morgan and the others? Who will come down with me?
52:05
Speaker 9: I for one. He is the blood of my heart.
52:08
Speaker 3: Come along, then.
52:09
Speaker 9: On the cage, you men.
52:12
Speaker 8: We're going down.
52:13
Speaker 12: I am going with you, sir.
52:14
Speaker 3: I'm going to find Dada.
52:15
Speaker 8: If you wish, lad. Ready now.
52:17
Speaker 12: Wait, wait, Mr.
52:17
Speaker 3: Griffith. Yes, Aunt Harriet.
52:19
Speaker 12: You will come back. You must come back.
52:22
Speaker 3: I said tonight, if I were to see you again,
52:25
Speaker 3: I couldn't find the strength to leave you.
52:27
Speaker 12: Oh, you will come back then.
52:29
Speaker 3: I know. Ready then.
52:31
Speaker 8: Send the cage down.
52:45
Speaker 19: Dada!
52:47
Speaker 8: Dada, where are you?
52:49
Speaker 7: Dada!
52:49
Speaker 3: Dada!
52:50
Speaker 8: Dada! The water is up to our knees here and
52:53
Speaker 8: getting deeper, sir. They will have the pump started soon. Morgan!
52:56
Speaker 8: Will and Morgan!
52:57
Speaker 19: Dada!
52:59
Speaker 8: Dada! They were working in this tunnel, you're sure? They
53:01
Speaker 8: were here and the one beyond, but the traps have
53:03
Speaker 8: all given way. We cannot go much farther, sir. We
53:05
Speaker 8: will go on.
53:06
Speaker 18: Dada!
53:08
Speaker 8: Will and Morgan! Dada, where are you?
53:11
Speaker 3: You!
53:13
Speaker 12: Wait!
53:14
Speaker 3: I heard him!
53:15
Speaker 8: Quiet, everyone. Call again, you.
53:22
Speaker 6: He's over there.
53:25
Speaker 8: We're coming, Dada. We're coming. Watch your foot here. It's deeper.
53:32
Speaker 3: There he is. There.
53:33
Speaker 8: Easy, man.
53:35
Speaker 3: Mr.
53:36
Speaker 8: Griffith. He's caught beneath the rock. We'll never get him
53:39
Speaker 8: out alive.
53:40
Speaker 7: Never.
53:40
Speaker 5: Dada.
53:42
Speaker 7: Oh, Dada.
53:44
Speaker 8: Hugh, lad. Hugh, my son.
53:47
Speaker 7: We're going to take you out, Dada. No. No.
53:51
Speaker 8: The rock.
53:53
Speaker 6: Do not dig.
53:55
Speaker 8: It will fall.
53:56
Speaker 7: We are going to take you out.
53:59
Speaker 8: You, my lad.
54:01
Speaker 6: There's a good old man you are.
54:04
Speaker 3: A good old man.
54:06
Speaker 7: Dada.
54:07
Speaker 3: Oh, Dada.
54:08
Speaker 8: Come, you.
54:09
Speaker 3: Here comes the cage.
54:21
Speaker 5: Oh, the cage, Mama.
54:21
Speaker 12: They are bringing him up.
54:22
Speaker 3: Gwilym.
54:24
Speaker 10: Gwilym is dead.
54:25
Speaker 6: Oh, no, Mama.
54:26
Speaker 8: He will be alive.
54:27
Speaker 10: Gwilym is dead. I know he is dead. He came
54:31
Speaker 10: to me just now as I stood here. Ivor was
54:35
Speaker 10: with him. He spoke to me and told me of
54:39
Speaker 10: the glory he had seen.
54:57
Speaker 3: My father was no more. But men like him can
55:01
Speaker 3: never die. They are with us still. Real in memory
55:06
Speaker 3: as they were real in flesh. Loving and beloved forever.
55:12
Speaker 3: How green was my valley then. And the valley of
55:17
Speaker 3: them that have gone.
55:30
Speaker 4: Your applause calls back five stars who gave five brilliant
55:35
Speaker 4: performances tonight. Walter Pigeon, Donald Crisp, Maureen O'Hara, Roddy McDowell,
55:41
Speaker 4: and Sarah Allgood.
55:42
Speaker 3: Thank you, CB. The five of us spent a number
55:45
Speaker 3: of weeks together making the picture, and, well, speaking for myself,
55:49
Speaker 3: this little reunion is a very great pleasure.
55:51
Speaker 6: And for all of us, Walter, you have rather a
55:54
Speaker 6: special feature in this cast tonight, CB. Two players from
55:57
Speaker 6: the world-famous Abbey Theatre of Dublin, Sarah Allgood and Marina O'Hara.
56:03
Speaker 12: Well, I spent only a few years there, Mr. Crisp,
56:05
Speaker 12: but that was long enough to appreciate the tradition established
56:09
Speaker 12: by many fine artists like Miss Allgood. Thank you, Maureen, dear.
56:12
Speaker 10: That's very nice of you.
56:13
Speaker 4: Nothing gives a producer more satisfaction than a cast of
56:16
Speaker 4: real troopers, whether they've had years of experience or take
56:20
Speaker 4: to acting as young as Roddy McDowell.
56:22
Speaker 7: If I can stay in the theater as long as
56:24
Speaker 7: you have, sir, I'll be very happy. What have I
56:27
Speaker 7: got to go about 40 years?
56:29
Speaker 3: Ha, ha, ha, ha.
56:30
Speaker 4: You'll have at least that if you keep up the
56:32
Speaker 4: kind of work you've been doing, Roddy.
56:35
Speaker 3: And tonight we're.
56:35
Speaker 4: Delighted to welcome you and Sarah Allgood and Maureen O'Hara
56:39
Speaker 4: to this stage for the first time.
56:41
Speaker 12: I've enjoyed being here, Mr. DeMille, but I don't really
56:44
Speaker 12: feel like a stranger. I've heard the Lux Radio Theater
56:46
Speaker 12: so much, and of course I used Lux soap ever
56:49
Speaker 12: since I came to Hollywood. I hardly think I could
56:51
Speaker 12: get along without it. You see, complexion care is so
56:54
Speaker 12: easy when you have Lux soap.
56:55
Speaker 4: And even now it's easy to get Lux soap anywhere. Uh, C.B.,
57:00
Speaker 4: we're all anxious to hear about your next play. Well,
57:03
Speaker 4: next Monday we have a comedy, Walter. One of the
57:06
Speaker 4: screen's recent laugh hits from 20th Century Fox. It's called
57:11
Speaker 4: The Magnificent Dope. And our stars are the same three
57:16
Speaker 4: players who are making a hit in the picture. Don Amici,
57:19
Speaker 4: Henry Fonda, and Lynn Barry. Don plays a kind of
57:24
Speaker 4: human dynamo who thinks he can make a success out
57:26
Speaker 4: of anyone... until he tackles Mr. Thaddeus Page, played by
57:30
Speaker 4: Henry Fonda. At any rate, it makes a great show
57:33
Speaker 4: for us next Monday night.
57:34
Speaker 3: I've heard a lot about the picture, C.B., and I
57:36
Speaker 3: want to hear it. Good night.
57:38
Speaker 7: Good night.
57:39
Speaker 4: Good night. We won the Academy Award all over again tonight.
57:52
Speaker 4: Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Toilet Soap, join me
57:55
Speaker 4: in inviting you to be with us again next Monday
57:57
Speaker 4: night when the Lux Radio Theater presents Don Amici, Henry Fonda,
58:02
Speaker 4: and Lynn Barry in The Magnificent Dope. This is Cecil B.
58:07
Speaker 4: DeMille saying goodnight to you from Hollywood.
58:17
Speaker 2: Here's a question for the ladies. Have you been throwing
58:20
Speaker 2: away explosives we need to win the war? Well, if
58:23
Speaker 2: you still throw away waste fats, you're doing that very thing.
58:26
Speaker 2: Keep all used frying fats, meat drippings, and bacon grease,
58:30
Speaker 2: and strain them into a clean, wide-top can. Your meat
58:32
Speaker 2: dealer will pay you for them. So save waste kitchen
58:35
Speaker 2: fats to make explosives. Donald Crisp will soon be seen
58:39
Speaker 2: in the Warner Brothers picture, The Adventures of Mark Twain.
58:42
Speaker 2: Maureen O'Hara, Roddy McDowell, and Sarah Allgood appeared by courtesy
58:45
Speaker 2: of 20th Century Fox. Miss O'Hara will be seen in
58:48
Speaker 2: The Black Swan, Miss Allgood in Life Begins at 8.30,
58:52
Speaker 2: and Roddy McDowell.
58:52
Speaker 3: Is currently on the screen in The Pied Piper.
58:55
Speaker 2: Heard in tonight's play were Gail Gordon as narrator, Stuart
58:58
Speaker 2: Robertson as Daibondo, Joseph Kearns as Capartha, Paul Langton as Yanto,
