• 0:00
  Speaker 1: As 19th century Chicago rises from prairie settlement to bustling city,
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: the O'Leary family finds its fortunes bound up with politics, business,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and romance. On October 9th, 1944, Lux Radio Theater brought
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: its 452 episode to CBS in Old Chicago, adapted from
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the 1938 20th Century Fox film. Robert Young stars as
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: ambitious Dion O'Leary, with Dorothy L'Amour as singer Belle Fawcett
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and John Hodiak as Dion's brother, Jack. Their story follows
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the family's place in a growing Chicago with the great
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: fire of 1871 looming in the city's future. Cecil B.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: DeMille hosts and produces. Now, back to the golden age
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: of radio.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Lux presents Hollywood.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: The Lux Radio Theater brings you In Old Chicago, starring
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Dorothy Lamour, Robert Young, and John Hodiak.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: Cecil B.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: DeMille.
• 1:25
  Speaker 6: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. In 1840, two Englishmen
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: traveling in America tried to find the city of Chicago.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: They heard it was somewhere in the Middle West, but
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: they couldn't find a map that recognized its existence. How
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: they made out finally, I don't know. But the story
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: indicates how fast and furious was the growth of this spectacular,
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: dynamic city.
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: Tonight in the.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: Lux Radio Theater, we bring you a dramatic episode from
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: the pageant of Chicago. A story of the city's violent
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: birth and struggle for existence, of love and treachery and sacrifice,
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: and of America's undying faith in the future. It's the
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: 20th century Fox success in old Chicago. And our stars
• 2:10
  Speaker 6: are as promising as our play. Robert Young, Dorothy L'Amour,
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: and John Hodiak. If you saw the picture, you may
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: have been impressed, as I was, by the careful attention
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: to each historical detail. from the dollar-studded floor of the
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: Palmer House to the bar of soap in Molly O'Leary's
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: wash tub. And notice I say bar of soap. Soap flakes,
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: like luck, were still a long way in the future.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: According to early Chicago methods, you boiled your clothes and
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: scrubbed them with a cake of soap to get them clean.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: And when you got through, you didn't have a shirt,
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: you had a handkerchief with sleeves. I think you'll agree
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: that the modern luxury of using Lux Flakes is as
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: far removed from that grisly experience as present-day Chicago is
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: from the muddy village of 1834. Ten years ago, Chicago
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: celebrated its 100th anniversary, a century of progress. And at
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: the same time, the Lux Radio Theater started its first
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: season on the air. As you know, next Monday night
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: is our 10th anniversary. And I'd like to take this
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: opportunity to thank personally all those radio stations from coast
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: to coast that have written me such heartwarming letters of congratulations.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: It's certainly satisfying to know that the Lux Radio Theater
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: has so many friends in the broadcasting industry as well
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: as among the listening public. We asked you to help
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: us select our 10th anniversary play for next week. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: later tonight, I'll tell you the play and stars we've chosen.
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: But now it's curtain time. And here's the first act
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: of In Old Chicago, starring Robert Young as Dion, Dorothy
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: L'Amour as Belle, and John Hodiak as Jack.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: In 1854, on a desolate sweep of Illinois prairie land....
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: A woman and three young boys are gathered around the
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: prone figure of a dying man.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Oh, Pat.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Pat. Hush, girl.
• 4:20
  Speaker 8: You sure you're all right?
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: And the young ones?
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: Yes, not a scratch.
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: Praise heaven.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: What a way to die. Dragged to my death by
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: my own horses.
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: It was the train that scared them.
• 4:30
  Speaker 10: Dragged to my death just when the smell of Chicago's
• 4:33
  Speaker 10: in my nose.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Molly. The boys. They're here, Pat. Here. Jack Lett. Diane. Bob.
• 4:41
  Speaker 11: Father.
• 4:42
  Speaker 12: Papa.
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: Now, mind what I say, boys.
• 4:45
  Speaker 13: You'll be wasting yourself, Pat.
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: Please rest.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Rest?
• 4:48
  Speaker 10: It's my last breath I'm using, girl. And I'll have
• 4:51
  Speaker 10: my say. Boys, it is a grand new place, this Chicago.
• 4:56
  Speaker 10: And them that grow with it will be rich and strong.
• 4:59
  Speaker 10: Like I always minded to be.
• 5:01
  Speaker 7: Someday, we'll be fine big men.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Credit to me and my name.
• 5:06
  Speaker 10: And everybody speaking with respect to the only reason... How
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: they grew up with the city and put their.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Mark upon it. You hear me, lads?
• 5:14
  Speaker 13: Yes, Father.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 10: And Molly, just bury me here and let Chicago come
• 5:22
  Speaker 10: to me that couldn't come to it.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Molly, come.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: It's 15 years later, and the Chicago that Pat O'Leary
• 5:46
  Speaker 6: never lived to see.
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: Is a raucous, roaring.
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: New metropolis, a place of easy money and easy ways, open.
• 5:53
  Speaker 14: Night and day to newcomers from all over the.
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: World, a fighting, laughing, sprawling city in which O'Leary's wife
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: and three sons have found their place, a place behind
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: a sign which reads, Mrs. Molly O'Leary's French Laundry.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: Ma!
• 6:10
  Speaker 15: Hey, Ma, I'm back.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: What time?
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Supper's ready.
• 6:12
  Speaker 15: I got three bundles of water from Gil Warner and
• 6:14
  Speaker 15: two from Mrs. Palmer, and she says to tell you
• 6:16
  Speaker 15: her one of your McCollums are missing.
• 6:17
  Speaker 16: Oh, she did?
• 6:17
  Speaker 17: Well, you can tell the fine lady she'll get them
• 6:19
  Speaker 17: back when she pays for the.
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: Soap she owes.
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: Yes, ma'am.
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: Now go feed your horse and then come back.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: And feed yourself.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Ma!
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, Ma!
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: In here, Jack.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm back. Are you now?
• 6:28
  Speaker 14: You should have been at the courthouse, Ma. I sure
• 6:30
  Speaker 14: made him sit up today and take notice.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Fine, boy, fine.
• 6:32
  Speaker 14: You know what I told him? My client is right,
• 6:34
  Speaker 14: I said, and you all know it. But who cares
• 6:36
  Speaker 14: about fair play and justice these days, I said? No
• 6:39
  Speaker 14: wonder people call Chicago the worst city in the country,
• 6:41
  Speaker 14: I said, with politicians like Gil Warner running things.
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: And how did a fine gentleman like that?
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, he was sweating plenty.
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: Yes, so was I, all day. Now, help me carry
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: this washbasket inside.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure, Ma.
• 6:52
  Speaker 14: Then I said, but it takes more than money and
• 6:54
  Speaker 14: politics to make a great city.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: It's going to take.
• 6:56
  Speaker 14: People with some sense of decency to make Chicago not
• 6:59
  Speaker 14: only the biggest city in the world, but the best.
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: Set it down.
• 7:02
  Speaker 17: Oh, it is a fine silver tongue you have, lawyer O'Leary,
• 7:05
  Speaker 17: and your father would be that proud of you.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And I told... Hey, Ma, look. Huh? Outside, it's a
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: police wagon.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: And your brother, Dion. Dion, get in here.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I'm home, Ma.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: A lovely day, Mrs.
• 7:15
  Speaker 15: O'Leary.
• 7:16
  Speaker 18: Thanks for the ride, Jim.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Anytime, Dion. Always got room for you.
• 7:20
  Speaker 15: Yep.
• 7:20
  Speaker 9: And what's the mud on your shoes?
• 7:22
  Speaker 14: Hello, Ma.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Jack.
• 7:23
  Speaker 15: Hi.
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: Coming home in the police wagon.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: Sorry you lost your case, Jack.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Lost?
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: You lost your case?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I forgot to tell you, Ma. Judge dismissed it. But
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I thought you won. Everybody talking about you downtown said
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you had the whole courtroom hypnotized.
• 7:36
  Speaker 14: Everybody but Judge Bender. I'd have had him, too, except
• 7:39
  Speaker 14: it was Gil Warner who made him judge.
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: Well, supper's ready.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: So are the both of you.
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: And then calling your brother and Gretchen.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Well, if they're not interested in eating, Ma married six
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: months and still in love.
• 7:47
  Speaker 9: Now get cleaned up.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Ma, when are you going to quit this laundry business?
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: And why should I be quitting?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Because I don't want.
• 7:52
  Speaker 14: My best girl looking at a washtub all her life.
• 7:54
  Speaker 17: No.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I'll get you a new house. Not here in the patch, either.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I'll set you up like the finest lady in town. Look, Ma.
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: Dyer, all that money, where did you get it?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Well, there were eight horses in the race, mine and
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: seven others. All we had to do was shoot the
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: seven others. Again.
• 8:11
  Speaker 17: And I've told you a hundred times I'll not be
• 8:14
  Speaker 17: living on money that isn't honestly got.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: All right, but give us a kiss then, huh?
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: It's the back of my hand you'll get.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on, come on.
• 8:20
  Speaker 9: Dyer, now, stop it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: A kiss, I said. Come on.
• 8:23
  Speaker 11: There.
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: Now get along with you.
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: I'm going to get it.
• 8:26
  Speaker 14: Come along, girl.
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: Oh, I was just starting a new wash.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Look.
• 8:29
  Speaker 13: Look, this tablecloth.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: It's Gil Warner's. Yeah.
• 8:31
  Speaker 17: I will not wash tablecloths that Gil Warner's been using
• 8:34
  Speaker 17: to draw pictures on.
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: Back it goes.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Hello, Gretchen.
• 8:36
  Speaker 13: Hello, Dion.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: Hey, wait a minute.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: This drawing, it's a map. Hmm? He's drawn a map
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: on a tablecloth.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: Hmm.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: And look, something about Randolph Street. Let me see it.
• 8:46
  Speaker 14: Yeah, Randolph and Madison. And these lines here, they look
• 8:49
  Speaker 14: like the tracks for the horse car lines. You know
• 8:51
  Speaker 14: what this means?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It means they're going to run the new car line
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: on Randolph Street. Oh, you're crazy. They've already surveyed Madison Street.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: Sure they have.
• 8:57
  Speaker 14: That's exactly what makes me so sure the car line
• 8:59
  Speaker 14: will be on Randolph.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe you're right. Of course I'm right.
• 9:03
  Speaker 14: Warner gets people to invest on Madison Street, and then
• 9:05
  Speaker 14: he switches the line to a street where he owns
• 9:07
  Speaker 14: the property. If you are right, this tablecloth is worth
• 9:09
  Speaker 14: a fortune. And I'm going to get.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Part of it.
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: You with your big talk. Not a penny honestly earned
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: your name.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: If I had this corner right here... We're on a
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: traffic cross. I'd put up the biggest saloon in Chicago.
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: Saloon?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Three beers for you, Mrs. O'Leary.
• 9:23
  Speaker 9: I wouldn't be setting my foot within a mile of it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: You're too late, Dion.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: Hmm?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Look, there's a name scribbled on that corner already. B-F-A-W-C-E. Fawcett.
• 9:34
  Speaker 11: Oh.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: You ever hear of him? No, new to me. Ma,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: sorry I can't stay for supper, but I've got an idea.
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: You will stay for supper.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Easy now, sweetheart.
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: This is big business.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: I'm in. Where are you going? Down to the hub.
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: Another saloon. Gil Warner's saloon.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: That's right. I'm calling on Gil Warner, and I'm going
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: to find out about this fellow B.
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: Fawcett.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: I'll see you later. Well, good evening, Mr. Warner.
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: Oh, Dan. Glad to see you.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I'd like to talk to you, Mr. Warner.
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Kind of private. I thought maybe we could.
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: Well, not just now, son.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Anyway, I think you'd rather look at who's coming out
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: there on the stage than waste time talking to me.
• 10:08
  Speaker 7: Stage?
• 10:08
  Speaker 18: Ladies and gentlemen, your host, Mr.
• 10:11
  Speaker 15: Gil Warner, presents the singing sensation from New York City,
• 10:15
  Speaker 15: Miss Belle Pawson.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Belle Pawson, huh?
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Dee Foster.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Uh, she new here? Yeah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 8: She was the biggest hit Midway's Garden in New York
• 10:28
  Speaker 8: ever had. What do you think of her?
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: What a woman.
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's right. What a woman.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Don't have been all of my dreams, all my dreams.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: But now I'm awake and my dreams have come true.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: I'm full of romance and I've taken a fancy to
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: ride for you.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Would you want to talk now, Diana? Let's go inside.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Talk?
• 11:09
  Speaker 18: Oh, forget it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I found out all I want to know. Can I
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: buy you a drink?
• 11:17
  Speaker 19: Sure, sure.
• 11:28
  Speaker 12: No use knocking. I told you a dozen times. Miss
• 11:30
  Speaker 12: Fawcett ain't seen no gentleman in this here dressing room.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, have a heart. I've got to see her.
• 11:34
  Speaker 12: Well, you can see her when Mr.
• 11:35
  Speaker 17: Warner tells me okay.
• 11:36
  Speaker 11: So go away.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Sorry to do this.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: Miss Fawcett.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Miss Bell, we've been busting on.
• 11:41
  Speaker 13: Will you get out of here?
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Please, I have to see you, Miss Fawcett.
• 11:43
  Speaker 13: Are you crazy?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I guess so. I was sane enough until I saw
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: you and then something happened to me. I've never felt
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: this way before. I'll never feel this way again.
• 11:49
  Speaker 17: I'll go get Miss Wong.
• 11:51
  Speaker 13: Wait a minute. What are you talking about?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I'm in love with you. Give me just ten minutes.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Five minutes.
• 11:55
  Speaker 13: Miss Bell, you want I to scream for you?
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Nobody has to scream. Oh, I know I sound crazy
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: and I apologize, but it's true. I'm shaking all over
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and I want to be calm and cool so I
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: can make you understand.
• 12:04
  Speaker 13: Patty, go inside.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am.
• 12:06
  Speaker 12: But I ain't exactly content about it.
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: Who are you?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I'm Don O'Leary. You never heard of me, but what
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: does that matter?
• 12:14
  Speaker 11: It matters a lot when someone comes breaking in.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Well, I had to talk to you alone. All right.
• 12:19
  Speaker 13: Let's go downstairs and have some supper.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, not here. It's too crowded. I figured you
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: might prefer taking me to your place.
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: I will.
• 12:27
  Speaker 16: What?
• 12:29
  Speaker 13: But your story had better be good. Hattie?
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Ma'am?
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: Get us a carriage.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Yes, ma'am.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: It's that house on the right, driver.
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: Oh, oh, no, the next one.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, next one, driver.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: There.
• 12:49
  Speaker 13: The one with the horse trough in front.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Horse trough, hmm? Well, that should help me find it
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: next time.
• 12:54
  Speaker 13: I'm sure it will.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Here you are, driver. So this is where you live.
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 12:59
  Speaker 13: Way up there on the second floor.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: See? Oh, up there on the corner, hmm?
• 13:04
  Speaker 13: That's right.
• 13:05
  Speaker 9: The house with the horn.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, no! Hey!
• 13:07
  Speaker 14: Driver, quick!
• 13:08
  Speaker 13: Take me back to the hub!
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am.
• 13:10
  Speaker 18: Hey, wait!
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Wait! Yes, sir. What a woman.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Oh, she's beautiful, Ma.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Sings like a lark. Not a better figure in Chicago.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Excepting Mrs. Molly O'Leary.
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: So, you're in love at last.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Love?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Well, sure, I'm in love with you.
• 13:35
  Speaker 17: And I suppose it's for me you're slicking down your
• 13:37
  Speaker 17: hair and staring at yourself in the mirror.
• 13:40
  Speaker 9: Just as I thought. That shirt, take it off.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, but my, I just borrowed it from that pile
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: in the kitchen. It's a beaut. Say, who do these
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: embroidered initials stand for, DVS?
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: His name is Swift. He sells pigs, and he gets
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: his shirt in the morning. Now, off with it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, but, Ma, look how it fits, like it was
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: made for me.
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: Take it off, or I'll brain you.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: I'll wear the shirt tonight. You brain me in the morning.
• 13:57
  Speaker 17: I'm warning you, Diana O'Leary.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Ma! Ma!
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: Up here, Jack.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Ma, I won it. I've won my first case.
• 14:02
  Speaker 18: Jack!
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: The judge said it was the best speech he's heard
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: all this session, and so did the lawyer from the
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: other side. Well, Ma, there's one of us you can
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: be proud of. And a fellow from the Tribune said
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: he was going to write it up.
• 14:10
  Speaker 13: Jack, lad, your name in the paper.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, glory be. How much did you get? What kind
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: of a fee?
• 14:14
  Speaker 14: Oh, well, you see, my client only makes $ 10 a week,
• 14:17
  Speaker 14: and he's got seven kids.
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: $ 10 a week?
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: That's ten more than you make. Diane, I couldn't take
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: his money, could I, Ma?
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: I give up.
• 14:24
  Speaker 17: I've got one son that steals my laundry, and another,
• 14:26
  Speaker 17: a lawyer who never gets paid. I should have brought
• 14:29
  Speaker 17: the tuyap of you up as good Irish bricklayers, and
• 14:32
  Speaker 17: every Saturday an envelope with some money in it.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I'll have you out of the patch yet, and servants
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: waiting on you. And don't sit up for me tonight.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: I may be late. Oh, poosh.
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: Oh, poosh indeed.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Patty?
• 14:49
  Speaker 12: That you, Miss Bell?
• 14:50
  Speaker 13: Any messages?
• 14:51
  Speaker 12: Well, none except a heap more roses and bottle stuff. Lord, honey,
• 14:55
  Speaker 12: you sure got that man snorting in his sleep.
• 14:57
  Speaker 9: Oh, I hope you threw them out.
• 14:59
  Speaker 12: Oh, but the champagne, Miss Bell. You know what a
• 15:01
  Speaker 12: mess busted bottles make.
• 15:03
  Speaker 11: And you told him not to come around here anymore.
• 15:05
  Speaker 12: I told him and told him till I was black
• 15:07
  Speaker 12: in the face.
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: Good.
• 15:11
  Speaker 13: Oh, this draft, I can hardly breathe.
• 15:14
  Speaker 12: Well, long as men like the small ways those gals
• 15:17
  Speaker 12: got supper. You want me for anything?
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: No.
• 15:21
  Speaker 11: I'll be going to the hub in a little while,
• 15:22
  Speaker 11: but I won't need you, Hattie.
• 15:23
  Speaker 9: Good night.
• 15:24
  Speaker 12: Oh, good night, Miss Bell.
• 15:26
  Speaker 19: Hello.
• 15:29
  Speaker 7: You.
• 15:30
  Speaker 15: Wait.
• 15:31
  Speaker 13: Get out of here.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Now, Belle, look, I.
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: Get out!
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: Hattie!
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Ma'am?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Help! Police!
• 15:35
  Speaker 19: Help!
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Murder!
• 15:36
  Speaker 15: We've been murdered!
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: Police!
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Police!
• 15:39
  Speaker 13: What do you mean by breaking in here?
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't break in. All I did was lie to
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: your landlord. Told him I was your brother. Wanted to
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: surprise you. He sneaked me in the back way.
• 15:46
  Speaker 11: You'll go to jail the front way.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: All I want is to talk to you. But before
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I want to talk, I want a kiss. One kiss.
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: Let go of me, you.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Patty! That was wonderful, thank you. Now then, you own
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: a piece of property on Randolph Street. Well, of all the...
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And I thought that if you and I were to
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: build a place like Gil Warner's, like the Hub, only
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: with more class, we could make a lot of money.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 16:07
  Speaker 13: Why didn't you say so in the first place? I'm
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: always interested in a business deal.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: You are?
• 16:12
  Speaker 13: Of course I am.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: What a woman. I'm all so crazy about you. And, uh,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 16:19
  Speaker 10: Well, that's better.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sorry, but I think I gotta have
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: another kiss. Well, you... You.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Right in there, also.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: Right in there.
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: Uh-oh.
• 16:28
  Speaker 9: My, my. Look at that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I thought you said there was murder going on.
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: Sorry, boss.
• 16:33
  Speaker 12: Ain't I the one?
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: Here's the idea.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: First of all, Gil Warner's going to be awfully sore.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: That means we've got to get backing and protection. The
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: police commissioner and Senator Colby. So, get your hat, Belle.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: You and I have got a couple of business calls
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: to make. So far, so good. Now, here's the proposition, Commissioner.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: I'm listening.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Full protection for Miss Fawcett and me. And for you
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: and your little ones, $ 100 in cash every Saturday from
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: now on.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Are you trying to bribe me, O'Leary?
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: Why, Commissioner, how can you mention such a word? Well,
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: now that you're alone, Senator, Mr.
• 17:14
  Speaker 13: O'Leary has something that I think will interest you.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: Indeed.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I've heard him of you, O'Leary. I understand you exert
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: some influence in the patch. Only a little, Senator. Gil
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Warner controls the patch and all its votes. You need votes,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: and as long as Warner gets along with no opposition,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: he has you in the machine just where he wants you.
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: But who knows?
• 17:33
  Speaker 11: The day may come when Warner will get other ideas.
• 17:36
  Speaker 13: Ideas that may be embarrassing.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: And so we have an offer to make. Miss Fawcett
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: here is the greatest attraction that ever came to Chicago.
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: Indubitably, my dear.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Now, with your backing and your money to get us started,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Bell and I will open Chicago's best cafe on the
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: busiest corner in town. Once we have that, I promise
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: you I'll get control of the patch.
• 17:54
  Speaker 18: Well.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: As soon as we're operating, a package will come to
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: your home once a month. In it, there'll be a
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: $ 110 bill. Well... No, Senator, not well. Are you in
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: or not?
• 18:04
  Speaker 20: I'm always in the market for marketable commodities. I'll have
• 18:08
  Speaker 20: it checked for you in the morning.
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: Thank you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: We'll meet again, Senator.
• 18:12
  Speaker 13: Goodbye, Senator.
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: Goodbye.
• 18:16
  Speaker 13: You're the strangest man I've ever.
• 18:18
  Speaker 11: Known, Diane.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Nothing strange about me. I've just got ambition. Yes. Good luck, partner.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Good luck.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Our stars, Robert Young, Dorothy L'Amour, and John Hodiak, will
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: be back in just a moment for Act Two of
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: In Old Chicago.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Sally, what on earth? With all those packages, you look
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: like Santa Claus.
• 18:48
  Speaker 19: Well, I am.
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: Three months ahead of time?
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: For you, maybe, but not for the girls and boys overseas.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: October 15th is the deadline for mailing Christmas gifts overseas,
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: and that means for wax and army nurses, too.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: What are you sending?
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: Slips for the girls over there.
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: All of dread?
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: I should say not.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Look, aren't they pretty?
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: This tea rose one with a luscious lace at the
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: bottom is a honey.
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: And the wax like frivolous undies?
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: You bet they love them.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: The lacier, the better.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: And no matter where they are, it's easy to find
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: Lux to take care of them. The PXs do a
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: terrific sale on Lux flakes.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what do the wax do about hot water?
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: Mr. Kennedy, I'm surprised at you.
• 19:28
  Speaker 13: Well, they don't need it.
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: Didn't ever use hot water on rayon undies.
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: Why, you could ruin the color.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: Lukewarm luck suds do a perfectly swell job, and undies
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: stay lovely lots longer that way.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: Three times longer, isn't it?
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: Well, that's exactly what tests showed. You should see the
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: slips they tested. The difference is simply amazing. Handling a
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: slip roughly and using... strong soaps and hot water makes
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: the color fade much too soon. The very same time
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: the slips wash the luxe.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Way, why, you could hardly tell them from you.
• 19:59
  Speaker 7: So keep your slips new-looking longer the.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Gentle luxe way. Now, Mr. DeMille returns to the microphone.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: Act II of In Old Chicago, starring Dorothy L'Amour as Belle,
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Robert Young as Dion, and John Hodiak as Jack. A
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: year has passed, and Molly O'Leary is still at her
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: washtub and ironing board. But for her three sons, there
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: have been many changes. Bob the youngest is a brand
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: new father. Jack is no richer than he was. But
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: his courage as a lawyer is spreading his fame throughout Chicago.
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: And Dan, plunging into the greatest gamble of his life,
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: is about to reap the rewards. The lavish cafe which
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: he and Bell Fawcett have built has just opened its
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: mahogany doors. And among the multitude of first night guests
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: is the politician.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Gil Warner. Come into the office, Gil.
• 20:59
  Speaker 14: Well, I hope you don't mind my pulling you away.
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: From all those friends of yours, huh? My, dim-dandy place
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: you've got, Dion.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Shall I, uh, close the door?
• 21:08
  Speaker 8: Eh, maybe that would be a good idea. Yes, sir,
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: I'm proud of you.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: You're being too nice, Warner. I'm suspicious.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: I'm not sore, Dion. Live and let live, I say. And, uh,
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: how's Belle?
• 21:25
  Speaker 14: I don't blame you for taking Bell away from me.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Great girl.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: I'd have married Bell if I'd have had the chance.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Do you know that? Come on, come on. What's on
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: your mind? What's on my mind? Son, I'm thinking of
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: running for mayor.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: You see, I've been electing mayors so long, I.
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: Figure I'd like to elect myself.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: Well, where do I come in? I'm telling you where. Now,
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: if I wanted to, I could give you a lot
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: of trouble, boy.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Build a cafe even bigger than this one. But I
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: don't want to fight.
• 21:52
  Speaker 14: If you say the word, I'll even close the hub.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Give Bell and me an open field, huh?
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: This is a nice place, son, but a tinderbox. Touch
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: a match to it accidentally, it'll go off like a
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: Roman candle. But pulling together, there's plenty of room here
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: for you and Bell and me.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Well, that sounds fine, Warner, but naturally there's a little
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: expense involved. And right now, with the opening and all.
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: I took the liberty of bringing along my check for $ 10, 000.
• 22:17
  Speaker 8: There'll be more between now and election time.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: As I was saying, I think things will work out
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: very nicely, Your Honor.
• 22:23
  Speaker 19: Yes.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Yes, you're a smart boy, Diane.
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: Nice and smart.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: Now, how about my saying good evening to Belle, huh? Why,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: she'd be sore if you didn't. We'll see her backstage.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: She's singing in a couple of minutes.
• 22:36
  Speaker 11: Belle.
• 22:37
  Speaker 13: Hello, Gil. I'm so glad you came.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: You know, Diane, I always said she was the best
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: looker Chicago ever saw.
• 22:45
  Speaker 9: Thanks, but I also sing.
• 22:46
  Speaker 8: I just want you to know that I'm going to
• 22:48
  Speaker 8: get you back if I can't.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: But it looks as though it won't be to the hub.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Bill's closing the hub, Bill. For good.
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: But why?
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, you better get out there. That's your music.
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: Yes, but.
• 22:59
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you about it later.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: I'll never tell you how much I love you. You
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: know that I'll never let you go I'll never let
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: you go.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 24:16
  Speaker 9: Now, what's Joe up to?
• 24:17
  Speaker 13: Has he gone crazy closing the hub?
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: We just talked a few things over in the office.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Let's go back and I'll tell.
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: You all about it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: What about an encore? I'll let him wait. This is
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: more important.
• 24:32
  Speaker 13: And you're taking his check, Diane? You're taking the $ 10, 000?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Well, the check's good, isn't it?
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: You know very well how Gil feels about us. Ever
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: since I left his place, he's been boiling. And now
• 24:41
  Speaker 11: you want to help him get even.
• 24:43
  Speaker 13: Don't you know what he can do to us if
• 24:45
  Speaker 13: he's mayor?
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: What makes you think he's going to be mayor? Look,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: if necessary, I'll even vote for Warner myself. But I've
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: said nothing about how the patch will vote. But that's... Politics.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Gil would knife me if he could, and I simply
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: mean to beat him to it. You dirty dog. Oh,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: but you love me.
• 25:00
  Speaker 13: Certainly not.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Come on, say it before I.
• 25:03
  Speaker 13: Of course I love you.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: That's better. I've got all the world, Bell. You and
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: this place and Warner on the run and... Yeah? It's Jack.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Can I come in? Jack?
• 25:14
  Speaker 14: Well, don't look so surprised. We may not agree in politics,
• 25:17
  Speaker 14: but you don't think I'd miss your opening.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: Do you?
• 25:19
  Speaker 8: Thanks.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, Bell. Well, you're finally meeting him, my brother Jack.
• 25:24
  Speaker 13: It's about time.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: It certainly is.
• 25:27
  Speaker 14: And now Dion isn't the only member of the family
• 25:29
  Speaker 14: who thinks you're beautiful.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Hey, now, take it easy. Well, Dion... Got licked in
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: court again today.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: So I heard.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: One of your boys, Mitch Stacy. He was guilty, wasn't he? Mm-hmm.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Got away, though.
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: I give you credit. You're awfully slick.
• 25:46
  Speaker 13: What's all this about?
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: It's simple, Belle. I've been made a special prosecutor.
• 25:50
  Speaker 14: With the election coming up, I've been trying to crack
• 25:52
  Speaker 14: down on all those phony votes.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: In the patch. Mitch was dumb enough to be caught
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: registering for the third time under another different name. And naturally,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I put a witness on the stand who knew Mitch.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: She testified beautifully. And then Dion's lawyer made a mucky
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: out of me.
• 26:07
  Speaker 13: I shouldn't think that would be easy.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, so easy.
• 26:09
  Speaker 14: This woman, my witness, was married to Mitch years ago.
• 26:12
  Speaker 14: They never got a divorce.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: And when Jack wound up his case, all we had
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: to do was remind the judge that a wife can't
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: testify against her husband. So I lost. But someday, Dion,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: I'll start winning my cases. That's the way to talk. Strange,
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: isn't it, Bell?
• 26:26
  Speaker 14: Dion on one side and me on the other, fighting
• 26:28
  Speaker 14: each other.
• 26:30
  Speaker 7: Say, uh.
• 26:31
  Speaker 14: Look, Belle, why don't you let Dion bring you up
• 26:32
  Speaker 14: to the house sometime? You really ought to meet Ma.
• 26:35
  Speaker 13: I'd love to.
• 26:36
  Speaker 14: And do one more thing for me. Keep an eye
• 26:38
  Speaker 14: on this fella. He's getting up in the world so
• 26:41
  Speaker 14: fast it might go to his head. And I'd kind
• 26:43
  Speaker 14: of hate to have to knock it off.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: I'll try. Well, I've got some work to do. Oh,
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: but we're going to have a party. I hope to, too.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: A reform party. See you soon. Goodbye, Jack. Goodbye.
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: Oh, he's swell, Dion.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Don't make him any better.
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: It was nice of him wanting me to meet your mother.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking about that myself.
• 27:02
  Speaker 11: Don't.
• 27:03
  Speaker 13: I understand how she feels about me.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, Ma's all right. Little old-fashioned, maybe. Like Jack.
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: He's real, Dion. He believes everything he says. Can you
• 27:13
  Speaker 13: imagine the Jack... the mayor Jack would make if he
• 27:16
  Speaker 13: had half a chance?
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Well, he could have had half a chance if he
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: hadn't mixed up with that reform crowd. With my help, he...
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. I've got an idea. I just figured
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: out how to spend Gil Warner's check. Honey, this is
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the best yet. Come on, I've got to see some
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: of the boys.
• 27:39
  Speaker 14: Gentlemen! Gentlemen, I agree with everything you've said, but I
• 27:44
  Speaker 14: still don't understand. This delegation, what is it you want
• 27:47
  Speaker 14: me to do?
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: We canvass the field thoroughly, Mr.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: O'Leary.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: You're the man we want to run for mayor. That's right,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: but I don't know you. I don't even know who
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: you represent.
• 27:55
  Speaker 14: The respectable people of Chicago, the people who want an
• 27:57
  Speaker 14: honest city. And that's why we've organized this reform party.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: It's a great opportunity for you.
• 28:02
  Speaker 16: You've got a chance to carry every district, except perhaps
• 28:04
  Speaker 16: Gil Warner's pack.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: But your brother's influential there, Mr. O'Leary.
• 28:08
  Speaker 16: Surely he'll support him.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid we can't count on my brother. We O'Leary's
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: are a strange tribe. Will you do it, Mr.
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: O'Leary?
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: Chicago needs you. Thanks, I'll do it.
• 28:18
  Speaker 14: We may not win, but we'll put up a fight
• 28:20
  Speaker 14: they won't forget. Yes, I'll run for mayor.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: What did he say?
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: What answer did he give you? Well, his answer was yes,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: your brother's going to run. Good, great. And when you
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: suggested that I'd support him? He said he was afraid
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: we couldn't count on you.
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: Well, at least he's agreed to run.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: That's the first step. What worries me, boss, is can
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: you control him once he's in? He's a pretty stubborn Irishman.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: You leave that to me. We O'Leary's are a strange tribe. Funny,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: he said the very same words. You know, this is
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: the first time you've been to my office. Ah, third time.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: But since you made up your mind to be our
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: next mayor, you're never here. Well, how's it going?
• 29:05
  Speaker 14: A month ago, I thought I might have a chance.
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: Now I don't know, and the time's getting close.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I want to help you. Help you?
• 29:12
  Speaker 7: Why not?
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Of course, I couldn't support you openly. You know how
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: I feel about the patch. Of course. No strings attached.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: The fact you're my brother isn't going to mean a thing. Oh,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: stop arguing, will you?
• 29:22
  Speaker 14: If you stood in the way of something I felt
• 29:23
  Speaker 14: should be done, I'd go after you as fast as
• 29:25
  Speaker 14: anyone else.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: I'm in dead earnest, Dion.
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: I've got great hopes for Chicago, and that means wiping
• 29:30
  Speaker 14: out the patch.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Jack, I don't need a speech. Save it for your
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: rally tonight.
• 29:35
  Speaker 14: I just wanted to be sure you know exactly how
• 29:37
  Speaker 14: I stand.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Now that that's over, how about lunch? Fine.
• 29:40
  Speaker 14: Incidentally, why don't you get Bell and come over to
• 29:42
  Speaker 14: the house tonight and take Ma for a drive?
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Because you know Ma. Oh, we've got a couple of
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: beers under her belt.
• 29:46
  Speaker 16: Bell's grand.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: We've got to make Ma meet her. Okay, but heaven
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: help us if it doesn't work out. Gee, that was good, Ma.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: You're still the best cook in Chicago. Here, uh, Have
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: some more beer.
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: Well, a drop, perhaps. Thank you, lad.
• 30:03
  Speaker 14: You know, Dion, you should bring Belle home for dinner sometime.
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: What's that?
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I've met her, Ma. I think she's fine.
• 30:08
  Speaker 17: I'll meet no girl that's the talk of the town
• 30:10
  Speaker 17: and her kicking her heels in the air for anyone
• 30:12
  Speaker 17: to see.
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: Oh, when you were a little one, Dion, and me
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: over a tub.
• 30:16
  Speaker 17: I used to dream of the day when you'd bring
• 30:17
  Speaker 17: me home a sweet one and her all blushes and
• 30:20
  Speaker 17: present me with fine grandsons as would be like something.
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: I own, only better.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: Ma, it's my own life. Sure, it's there.
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: Hey, John.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, Bob.
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: Your carriage is here.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, thanks. Look, Ma, why don't you finish your beer
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: and then you and Dion go for a ride, huh?
• 30:33
  Speaker 9: And why not you too?
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Because there's a rally in the armory. Oh, I forgot.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: And I'm supposed to speak. How about it, Ma?
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: I'll do it. And back in time to go to
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: the rally.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about the dishes.
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: Stretch it and I'll do them. See?
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I'll get your coat and hat.
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: Drink up, old lady.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I've got a real surprise for you. Indeed.
• 30:47
  Speaker 7: Sure. Two of the.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Fastest-stepping mayors you ever saw. Take you all over town.
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: I prefer to see the lake.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: Okay, the lake.
• 30:54
  Speaker 13: Oh, an elegant carriage dial.
• 30:57
  Speaker 17: Elegant.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Now, before you get in, just close your eyes. Keep
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: them closed now. I'll open the door. Up one step.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: That's it. And there you are. Get going, Joe.
• 31:07
  Speaker 13: Oh, and such lovely cushions.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: Aren't they just lovely?
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Ma, this is Miss Foster. This is Belle. A trick.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: You tricked me. But you're going to see a lot
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: of Belle, so you may as well get used to it.
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: The devil I will. I ain't getting out.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, stop being so stubborn.
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: Stop the horses, or I'll give you the licking of
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: your life. I'll get out, Diane.
• 31:22
  Speaker 11: You go along with her.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Sit still, both of you. Keep going, Joe.
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: Stop this contraption.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: Stop or I'll jump out. Sit down.
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: Oh, wait till I get you alone, Dion O'Leary.
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: I'll have a few things to say to him myself.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: Oh, you will, will you?
• 31:35
  Speaker 13: I want her to be nice.
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: I wanted you to like me.
• 31:37
  Speaker 11: But that Irish lunkhead son of yours, what does he
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: think he's doing to me?
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: Belle, please.
• 31:42
  Speaker 13: Oh, my son's an Irish longhead.
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: And how would you like to be treated? You with
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: your grand manners.
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: Like any girl who's going to be his wife has
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: a right to be treated.
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: Dion, I'll never marry you.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: Never.
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: And now if you'll stop this thing, I'll be taking
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: my leave.
• 31:56
  Speaker 21: Ah.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Pull up, Joe. Okay, but.
• 31:59
  Speaker 13: Never mind. I'll get out.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: You'll do no such.
• 32:02
  Speaker 17: It's you he be saving the wear and tear of walking,
• 32:05
  Speaker 17: not me.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Ma, ma, please.
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: And a fine good night to you, I'm sure.
• 32:10
  Speaker 13: Oh, how could you.
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: Do this, Diane?
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't think Ma'd act like that.
• 32:14
  Speaker 11: You'd better go get her, Diane, and take her to
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: the rally.
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: She shouldn't miss Jack's speech. When it's over, I'll meet
• 32:19
  Speaker 13: you at the cafe.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm sorry, Bill.
• 32:23
  Speaker 13: Forget it.
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: Hello, honey.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: How's business?
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: Oh, we can handle.
• 32:38
  Speaker 13: How'd it go at the armory?
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: The rally?
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Not much better than you and Ma on the carriage.
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: What happened?
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, Warner had the place packed. They broke it up
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: before Jack finished.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's awful.
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: Jack's no politician.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: He'll never beat Warner. Never say never about politics.
• 32:53
  Speaker 9: What are you up to now?
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: What would happen if all Gil Warner's ward healers and
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: poll watchers failed to show up three days from now?
• 32:59
  Speaker 13: Failed to show up on election day?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: That's right. If that happened, Warner wouldn't stand much chance
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: of winning, would he? That's why I'm having a little
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: talk with the police commissioner.
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: Well, you won't have to go far.
• 33:09
  Speaker 13: He's waiting now up in your office.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: I know it. I told him he'd better be here
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: when I get back.
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: I can't do it, Dionne.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I can't throw them in jail. Why?
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: Why, there's too many of them.
• 33:21
  Speaker 22: Hundreds.
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: Besides, Gil Warner's my friend.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: I'd be ruined. For doing your duty? They're crooked, the
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: whole lot of them. Oh, come, Commissioner, be a man. Warner,
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: kill me.
• 33:30
  Speaker 15: Besides, what you're asking is against all my principles.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: You get $ 100 a week for doing what I tell
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: you to do. None of that.
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: Every cent was in cash.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure, but every week a different man brought it
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: to you.
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: Meaning exactly what?
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Meaning that I've got a dozen witnesses if you ever
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: get any ideas that I don't like.
• 33:47
  Speaker 8: Well, what do you want me to do?
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: On Monday night, the night before election, Gil Warner's giving
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: the biggest party the patch has ever seen. Plenty of
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: free liquor and food. Everybody will be there. Then somehow
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: a fight's going to start. Yes. Yes, I see. I'll
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: take care of that. Your job is to be standing
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: by with every cop in Chicago. Because Gil Warner and
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: all his boys are going to spend election day in jail.
• 34:21
  Speaker 18: Where's the commissioner?
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Gone to the sanitarium, Mr.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Warner.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Where? What sanitarium? Can't give out the address, sir. Doctor's orders.
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: Where's Judge Bender, then?
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: Get him in here.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Judge Bender left on a hunting trip, sir. All the
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: judges went on a hunting trip. They've organized a hunting club.
• 34:35
  Speaker 18: Then Senator Colby. Get off that chair and find Colby.
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Where do I come on your list, Gil?
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: Die on.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Just the man.
• 34:43
  Speaker 18: I'm tied hand and foot. Every man in this jail
• 34:45
  Speaker 18: controls 20 votes. Enough to swing the election and not
• 34:48
  Speaker 18: one of them.
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: At the polls. What am I going to do?
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: You're going to stop squawking. What did you say? You're through, Gil.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: I've sold you out. Sergeant?
• 34:57
  Speaker 14: Yes, sir?
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: You can put Mr.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Warner back in his cell. Sorry to rush off, Gil,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: but I've got a vote to cast for Jack O'Leary.
• 35:08
  Speaker 13: Jack, I can't tell you how happy I am. Congratulations.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I licked them, Belle. I licked the machine.
• 35:13
  Speaker 13: You did that yesterday.
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: Don't you believe it yet?
• 35:17
  Speaker 15: No.
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: It doesn't seem possible. Where's Dion?
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: Oh, it's a little early yet.
• 35:22
  Speaker 13: He'll be here soon.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Belle, I'm here to plead for your help. I'm going
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: to clean out the patch.
• 35:31
  Speaker 13: This place, too?
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 35:33
  Speaker 13: But all of Dion's money is tied up in a check.
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: Mine, too.
• 35:37
  Speaker 13: We have a long way to go before we.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Get it back.
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: That's why I'm here.
• 35:40
  Speaker 14: To tell Dion if he doesn't see it my way,
• 35:42
  Speaker 14: there's going to be trouble. He's a great person. He
• 35:46
  Speaker 14: can go anywhere, do anything, if only he gets on
• 35:48
  Speaker 14: the right track. Belle, I want to see him marry you,
• 35:52
  Speaker 14: have a home and kids.
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: Start to live.
• 35:55
  Speaker 13: Don't you think that's what I've been hoping for?
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Enough to help me now?
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: Help you do what?
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Dion couldn't stand a public investigation. You know how he operates.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: But if I can't bring him to his senses, that's
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: what I'll have to do.
• 36:08
  Speaker 14: I'd like to use you as the chief witness against him.
• 36:10
  Speaker 14: Let you tell the whole story of how he's run
• 36:12
  Speaker 14: things down here.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about that, Bell?
• 36:15
  Speaker 14: I'm glad you're here, Dion. I just want you and
• 36:18
  Speaker 14: Bell to understand my position.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Thanks. I think we catch on. I told you this
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: before the election, and I promised it to the people
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: who made me mayor. I made you mayor, not the people.
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: You?
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I sent that delegation to see you. I paid for
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: the campaign, ran it, framed it, threw a warning, and
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: his gang into jail. Even voted for you myself. I
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: don't believe it.
• 36:37
  Speaker 13: It's true, Jack.
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: Why did you do it?
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, a lot of reasons. I wanted to see if
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I could. Or maybe it was because I wanted to
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: see Ma's face when she rode with you down the
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: avenue last night.
• 36:47
  Speaker 14: All right, you elected me. But I'm mayor anyway.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: And I'm Chicago. I'd hate to have to kick you out.
• 36:55
  Speaker 13: You'd better listen to him, Diane.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: What are you going to get out of this?
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: Nothing.
• 36:59
  Speaker 13: But I happen to have sense enough to see what
• 37:01
  Speaker 13: Jack's after. Even if you haven't.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Okay. Okay. But if you've gone in for reform, Bell,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I guess we won't be seeing much of each other.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: You're not walking out on Bell.
• 37:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, no.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: She's the one who's walking out, Jack. Now, go ahead. Investigate.
• 37:15
  Speaker 22: We pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the
• 37:30
  Speaker 22: Columbia Broadcasting System. Before the curtain rises on Act III
• 37:54
  Speaker 22: of In Old Chicago, we go to a city humming
• 37:57
  Speaker 22: with war industries.
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: It's early in the morning at the small apartment of
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: two girl war workers.
• 38:04
  Speaker 13: Oh, dear, am I sleepy.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Stop ringing.
• 38:08
  Speaker 9: Oh, where is that darn clock?
• 38:10
  Speaker 13: What's the matter, Sue? It's under the bed somewhere.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: I'll get it.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Ow!
• 38:17
  Speaker 15: There.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: I got a nice big bump on my head just
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: for you, and... Oh, I ruined my last pair of stockings.
• 38:25
  Speaker 9: I'm terribly sorry.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, it seems like every.
• 38:27
  Speaker 13: Time I move, a stocking goes pop.
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: Well, I hate to say I told you so. Now,
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: don't start telling me about luck.
• 38:35
  Speaker 13: How about another pair of stockings? You're going to get them.
• 38:38
  Speaker 7: From you.
• 38:38
  Speaker 9: From me. And I'm going to wash them for you.
• 38:41
  Speaker 9: Wash them in Lux.
• 38:42
  Speaker 12: Yes, Lux Flake.
• 38:44
  Speaker 11: And if you don't avoid a lot of those runs,
• 38:46
  Speaker 11: I'll eat my alarm clock.
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: Did Susie have to eat her alarm clock? Here's Peg
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: two weeks later.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: Say, kid.
• 38:53
  Speaker 16: Yep.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: There's something in that Luxe talk, after all. Sure. Why,
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: they say they made ever so many tests.
• 38:58
  Speaker 9: Oh, forget about the tests.
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: Look at me.
• 39:00
  Speaker 13: No runs for ages.
• 39:02
  Speaker 9: That's what I mean.
• 39:02
  Speaker 12: Those strain tests showed that Luxe makes stockings last.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Twice as long.
• 39:07
  Speaker 9: It's like getting an extra pair every time you buy one.
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: Sue is right.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: It certainly pays to use Luxe flakes for your stockings,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: whether they are rayon, cotton, silk, or your last precious nylon.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: Rubbing with a cake of soap or using strong soap
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: makes stockings go into runs ever so much faster.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: So here it is in rhyme.
• 39:25
  Speaker 7: For extra wear from every pair, use safe LuxCare.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: And now, Mr. DeMille returns to the microphone.
• 39:33
  Speaker 6: After the play, you're all invited backstage to meet our
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: stars in person.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Now here's the third act of In Old Chicago, starring
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: Robert Young as Diane.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: O'Leary, John Hodiak as Jack, and Dorothy L'Amour as Belle Fawcett,
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: who now relates our story.
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: There was no choice open to Jack O'Leary. Whatever feeling
• 40:01
  Speaker 11: he had for Dion or for me, he flung aside
• 40:05
  Speaker 11: in his determination to blast every crooked element out of Chicago.
• 40:08
  Speaker 11: Senator Colby fled to safety in Canada, and the next day,
• 40:12
  Speaker 11: Jack asked the grand jury for indictments against Gil.
• 40:16
  Speaker 13: Warner and Dion. His plans for me were different.
• 40:20
  Speaker 11: I was to help him. But when the time grew close,
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: the thought that my testimony would send Diane to prison
• 40:26
  Speaker 11: was too much for me. Early one night, I slipped
• 40:29
  Speaker 11: away to the railroad station. There was a train leaving
• 40:32
  Speaker 11: from New York.
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Running away won't help you, Belle.
• 40:36
  Speaker 11: Diane.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: It won't help Jack either.
• 40:38
  Speaker 13: But I can't tell them what I know, Diane.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: They'll send you to prison. That's not as bad as
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: losing you.
• 40:42
  Speaker 9: How did you know I was losing you?
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: I still have a few friends among the police. They've
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: been watching.
• 40:46
  Speaker 9: Diane, I.
• 40:47
  Speaker 13: I'd better get on the train while I can.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Just let me say one thing.
• 40:50
  Speaker 7: Please, Diane.
• 40:51
  Speaker 14: I don't ask you to forgive me.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I guess I've said and done things you can't forgive,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: but you've got to believe this. I love you, Belle.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: I'll always love you. It's over, Diane.
• 41:01
  Speaker 13: It has to be.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: You can't change in a moment any more than I can.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: I can't do without you, Belle. In some strange way,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I think maybe you need me, too. I want you
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: to marry me.
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: Now, tonight.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Say yes, Belle, please.
• 41:18
  Speaker 13: You know I will, don't you? I can't use reason
• 41:22
  Speaker 13: against you, darling. I never could.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Don't try.
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: Oh, Belle.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I know just the man to marry us. Jack, his
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: first wedding.
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: Oh, darling.
• 41:33
  Speaker 9: Don't ever let me leave you again.
• 41:40
  Speaker 14: Therefore, by the right of authority in me, vested by
• 41:43
  Speaker 14: the state of Illinois, I pronounce you Diana O'Leary and
• 41:47
  Speaker 14: you Belle Fawcett Lawfully married husband and wife.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Well, it doesn't say so in the book, but I
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: think a kiss comes next. Come here, Mrs.
• 41:55
  Speaker 15: O'Leary.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't take a million dollars for this moment.
• 41:59
  Speaker 7: Hey, this makes us kiss and.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Kin too, Belle.
• 42:02
  Speaker 13: I wish your mother would say that.
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: Oh, she will.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: While we're all here, there's just one other little matter
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: I'd like to clear up. It'll keep. Not for long,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: it won't. Jack, wife can't testify in court against her husband,
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: can she? Dianne. Do you still want Belle to appear tomorrow?
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: You dirty rat.
• 42:20
  Speaker 13: How could you, Diane? How could you?
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute, honey. Our getting married's got nothing
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: to do with the jam I'm in.
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: Or was in.
• 42:27
  Speaker 13: Don't lie anymore, Diane.
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: Don't.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not lying. Marrying you is the best thing I
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: ever did in my life.
• 42:34
  Speaker 13: At least the shrewdest.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: Oh, don't say that. But if marrying you now could
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: stop you from testifying, and if Jack was dumb enough
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: not to see it.
• 42:41
  Speaker 14: Get out of here.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Get out. Come on, Belle.
• 42:44
  Speaker 13: I'm not going, Diane.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: I said come on.
• 42:46
  Speaker 14: Take your hands off her. Get out of the way, Jack,
• 42:48
  Speaker 14: or I'll... I'm sorry, Bill.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I'll take you home.
• 43:00
  Speaker 13: Jack left me at my hotel.
• 43:02
  Speaker 12: I was dazed.
• 43:04
  Speaker 11: Tears didn't help, and I'm calling myself every kind of
• 43:06
  Speaker 11: a fool. How could I believe what Diane said?
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: And yet, how could I not believe him?
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: There always are men like.
• 43:14
  Speaker 13: Diane and always women like me. He could do anything
• 43:18
  Speaker 13: in the world to me, I think, and.
• 43:21
  Speaker 11: And I still would love him. But as I thought
• 43:23
  Speaker 11: what next to do, something was happening at the O'Leary
• 43:26
  Speaker 11: home that changed all our lives.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: Ma, Ma, where are you?
• 43:30
  Speaker 13: I'm in the barn feeding a cow.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, come schnell, Ma.
• 43:32
  Speaker 9: Oh, stop that even jabbering and talk friendly.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, but they must have been, they come.
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: They what?
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: They did it. Diane and Belle got married. What?
• 43:39
  Speaker 15: Yeah, Jim Feller's just stopped by to tell us. He
• 43:41
  Speaker 15: was there at the city hall and there was a fight.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Diane and Jack. Married? Fight? Talk simple.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's all I know, but I'm going after them
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: and find out.
• 43:47
  Speaker 8: Wait, I'll go with you.
• 43:49
  Speaker 7: Diane, find him.
• 43:50
  Speaker 9: And marry that creature behind my back.
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: Well, get ready, Ma.
• 43:52
  Speaker 13: I got the buggy out in front.
• 43:56
  Speaker 9: I could be driving downtown, but no matter.
• 43:57
  Speaker 7: Just climb in, Ma.
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: And hold tight.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, of course. Bob, move down.
• 44:02
  Speaker 19: Wait.
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Wait. Who's there?
• 44:04
  Speaker 9: Now, Bob.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: The bomb. Look.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: Fire.
• 44:06
  Speaker 11: The bomb's on fire.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Heaven help us. I left the lantern there.
• 44:09
  Speaker 9: Get the baby.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I'll go after the cow.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: Ma, water. Buckets.
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: Plenty if you can.
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: Mary, it's fire. Ring the alarm bell. Somebody sound the alarm.
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: It's burning. It's burning. Fire. Fire.
• 44:28
  Speaker 19: Hello, boys.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Hello, Dan. Come in, Warner. Have a drink. I was
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: hoping you'd say that. Well, don't look so suspicious, boys.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: I'm here all alone, and I'm not out for trouble.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: You don't expect me to believe that, do you, Gil?
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: After what I did to you? Oh, water over the dam.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: Someday you'll make it up to me, son. You're too
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: smart not to. Sure, someday.
• 44:51
  Speaker 7: Here.
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: I heard you just got married, son. Where's the... Something
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: else you may not know. Your brother just swore in
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: 500 deputies. They'll be coming down here to run us
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: out of the patch. Nobody's running me out of the patch.
• 45:05
  Speaker 14: Well, I didn't think so, but you know what he said?
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: He said he wouldn't leave a stick or stone standing here.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Well, let them come. We'll be ready for them.
• 45:13
  Speaker 18: That's it, Dion.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Since when was Chicago afraid of police? Let Jack start it,
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: then heaven help him. Uh, drink up, boys. It's on
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: the house. Drink up.
• 45:23
  Speaker 18: Zion!
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: Zion! Yeah?
• 45:25
  Speaker 11: Fire!
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: There's a big fire over on DeKalb Street. The whole
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: street's gone.
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: So he couldn't wait, could he?
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Burning us out. The mayor is burning us out. Yeah,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: he said he'd get us. Yeah, to take time to
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: condemn the patch legally, he couldn't wait. Stay here, all
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: of you. I'll be back in a little while.
• 45:40
  Speaker 7: Wait a minute.
• 45:41
  Speaker 18: You can't go after him alone.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Get all the boys together here. I'll be back. The
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: mayor's asked for a fight, and I'm going to see
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: that he gets it.
• 45:48
  Speaker 8: Mighty funny business.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: What is?
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: Oh, nothing, except those O'Leary brothers have pulled some awful
• 45:53
  Speaker 6: fancy tricks, and I wouldn't put it past them.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: To do it again. You're crazy, Gil. You heard what
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Dion said. No one's going to burn him out, brother
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: or no brother. I hope not, but I'd like to
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: be certain. Gil's right. We've got something to say about.
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: This, all of us.
• 46:07
  Speaker 18: Listen to me. I say we can't wait until Dion
• 46:10
  Speaker 18: gets back. We've got to work fast. Now clear out
• 46:13
  Speaker 18: of here, all of you.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Spread the word around.
• 46:15
  Speaker 18: Get every man you can and meet at the armory.
• 46:17
  Speaker 18: If Dion wants to help, that's fine. But Dion or no,
• 46:20
  Speaker 18: we're going to get Tackle Leary.
• 46:27
  Speaker 11: Dion came first to my hotel.
• 46:29
  Speaker 13: I wouldn't see him.
• 46:30
  Speaker 11: He stood outside my door shouting something about a fire
• 46:33
  Speaker 11: and begged me to leave. His lies, I thought, were
• 46:36
  Speaker 11: becoming more shabby. And then he said he couldn't wait.
• 46:40
  Speaker 13: He had to get to the patch to find his mother.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: When he was gone, I went to the window.
• 46:44
  Speaker 11: He hadn't lied.
• 46:46
  Speaker 13: I could see the city hall.
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: There were men on the roof pointing to the terrible
• 46:49
  Speaker 11: red mass that was leaping closer and closer to the
• 46:52
  Speaker 11: heart of the city. And among the men was Jack O'Leary.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: The patch is like tinder. There hasn't been a drop
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: of rain in over two months. Well, we can't control it.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: There's too much wind.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: Look, it's jumping ahead, blocks at a time.
• 47:04
  Speaker 18: Here's General Sheridan, Mayor.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: What do we do, General?
• 47:07
  Speaker 20: There's only one thing we can do. Make a fire
• 47:09
  Speaker 20: break at the edge of the patch. Blow up that
• 47:10
  Speaker 20: entire section along Randolph Street. Fight the fire with dynamite,
• 47:13
  Speaker 20: but fight it.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Then mobilize the militia. Swear in all the deputies you need.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Clear out the patch. Send the people north, right down
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: to the lake. Requisition all the foodstuff they'll need.
• 47:20
  Speaker 14: Donovan, Johnson, Muller. Yeah, right.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: Get to a telegraph. Call Milwaukee, St.
• 47:23
  Speaker 5: Louis.
• 47:24
  Speaker 14: We need every piece of fire apparatus they can send us.
• 47:26
  Speaker 14: Wire Washington will need relief, maybe even federal troops. And
• 47:29
  Speaker 14: keep me advised. Where will you be, sir?
• 47:30
  Speaker 18: Down at the patch with General Sheridan.
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: Bob!
• 47:38
  Speaker 4: Bob! Where's Ma?
• 47:40
  Speaker 8: She's on the north side.
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: I should have the baby with her.
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: They had to go.
• 47:44
  Speaker 21: Our house was the first to burn.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: You crazy fool. Why did you let him do it?
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: Do what?
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: Jack started the fire.
• 47:49
  Speaker 23: Jack hasn't been near here.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: The fire started in our barn.
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: Cal must have kicked over the lantern.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Bob, they'll kill him. They'll kill Jack. What are you
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: talking about? Every gang in the patch. They all think
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: Jack started the fire to burn us out. We've got
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: to stop them. We've got to find them.
• 48:01
  Speaker 15: Where is he?
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but I know where that mob is.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: They're waiting for me. Come on.
• 48:13
  Speaker 18: Hurry, you men.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: Get that dynamite pattern.
• 48:14
  Speaker 18: Set the fuses.
• 48:15
  Speaker 14: Sergeant.
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 48:16
  Speaker 19: Move back.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: All police lines back a full block.
• 48:19
  Speaker 18: No one gets through here.
• 48:20
  Speaker 14: Yes, sir.
• 48:20
  Speaker 18: I want 20 men here, Corporal.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Clear this street.
• 48:23
  Speaker 15: Coming in.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: On the double.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: Let me through here.
• 48:25
  Speaker 15: Let me through.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Get back.
• 48:26
  Speaker 18: We're going to dynamite.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Dynamite?
• 48:28
  Speaker 18: Fire break.
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: Open up now.
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: Back.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: Back.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: Everybody.
• 48:31
  Speaker 18: Let her through the lake.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: We've got to get to the lake. Dine. Gil Warner
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: and his mob are somewhere around here.
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: We've got to find them.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: Hey, look. There's Jack.
• 48:38
  Speaker 12: Jack.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Jack.
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: I told you to clear.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: It's my brother. I've got to get to him.
• 48:42
  Speaker 19: Hey, Jack.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: Bob, where's Bob?
• 48:44
  Speaker 19: I don't know.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Come here, quick.
• 48:45
  Speaker 18: Rushing the baby.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: They left for the lake.
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: Jack, listen.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: I've got to talk to you. I've taken all I'm
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: going to from you. Get out of here.
• 48:50
  Speaker 8: They're after you, Jack.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: They're going to kill you.
• 48:52
  Speaker 14: We're dynamiting the patch and nobody's going to stop us.
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: Not you or anyone else.
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: Jack, you don't understand.
• 48:56
  Speaker 14: I understand he owns that cafe across the street and
• 48:58
  Speaker 14: he'd do anything to save it.
• 48:59
  Speaker 15: Bill Warner and his mob are out to get you.
• 49:01
  Speaker 15: They all think you set the fire to wipe out
• 49:03
  Speaker 15: the patch.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: It's my fault. I thought you did too, Jack. You've
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: got to believe me.
• 49:07
  Speaker 8: Hey, there they are.
• 49:08
  Speaker 18: They're coming.
• 49:08
  Speaker 19: Warner's gang.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: All right, let them come. I believe you, Dion. All
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: that matters now is that we're together again and thinking alike.
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: Let him come.
• 49:15
  Speaker 18: Just like I told you in the old area.
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: Man, listen.
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: The fire was an accident. My brother had nothing to
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: do with it.
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: Don't drop it, Dion.
• 49:23
  Speaker 18: We know different.
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: In the streets, we're going to die.
• 49:26
  Speaker 14: Get your men out of here, Warner.
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: No.
• 49:28
  Speaker 18: No, we're not moving, Mayor.
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: We lived here in the past.
• 49:31
  Speaker 18: It's not all burned out yet. Then we're not.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Going to let you dynamite. We're trying to save the city.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Then save it.
• 49:37
  Speaker 18: Touch off that dynamite, though, and you'll blow us up
• 49:39
  Speaker 18: with it. We're not budging. You're all set, Mayor.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Everybody's out of the area. Say the word, and I'll
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: send in a man to light the fuses.
• 49:45
  Speaker 18: Hold him back, Jack.
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: I'll light him myself.
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: You got rocks, boys.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: Use them.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 49:53
  Speaker 18: Die on!
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: They've hit him!
• 49:56
  Speaker 18: Anybody else want to light those fuses? That's exactly what
• 49:58
  Speaker 18: I'm going to do, Walter!
• 49:59
  Speaker 15: I'm with you, Jack!
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Hold him here, men!
• 50:02
  Speaker 7: Hold him!
• 50:02
  Speaker 18: It'll be one of you against ten of us, General!
• 50:05
  Speaker 18: I'm warning you! Keep those troops away!
• 50:07
  Speaker 4: Hold him! Hold him!
• 50:12
  Speaker 22: Die on!
• 50:13
  Speaker 9: Die on!
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: Get him out of here, Bob!
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: Where are you going?
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Pick up where he left off!
• 50:16
  Speaker 4: I'm lighting the fuses!
• 50:18
  Speaker 18: He's lighting the dynamite!
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: Kill! He's lighting the dynamite!
• 50:21
  Speaker 18: Don't worry, Jill!
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: All right, boys.
• 50:26
  Speaker 18: Get in there and pull out those fuses. That's only
• 50:33
  Speaker 18: the first charge, Warner. I'm not dead yet.
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: Get back, boys.
• 50:37
  Speaker 18: Get back.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: We're too late.
• 50:48
  Speaker 11: As I fought my way through the burning street and
• 50:50
  Speaker 11: crashing timbers, I heard the explosions. I knew they meant
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: the end of the patch, but I didn't know until
• 50:55
  Speaker 11: later that they also meant the end of Jack O'Leary.
• 50:58
  Speaker 13: The panic was on now.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: A panic of.
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: Screaming, fighting humanity, struggling insanely against the inferno, and themselves
• 51:04
  Speaker 11: in a frantic surge toward the safety.
• 51:06
  Speaker 13: Of Lake Michigan.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: I was carried along like a.
• 51:08
  Speaker 13: Leaf in a mill stream.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: And then I fell.
• 51:11
  Speaker 11: As I got up, I saw her lying under the
• 51:13
  Speaker 11: wreckage of a fallen wall.
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: No, Bill.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: No.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Go on. Go on.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: Stay yourself.
• 51:18
  Speaker 19: Mrs. O'Leary, please.
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: You must try.
• 51:21
  Speaker 13: Lean on me.
• 51:22
  Speaker 9: We'll make it.
• 51:22
  Speaker 13: It's my leg. I.
• 51:24
  Speaker 14: Oh, you.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: It's you.
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: Give me your arm.
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: Hurry.
• 51:27
  Speaker 9: I'll not be owing my life to you.
• 51:29
  Speaker 19: I won't leave you.
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: You would die on you.
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 51:32
  Speaker 13: Yes, it was the only way he could save the pet,
• 51:34
  Speaker 13: so he married me.
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: He loves you.
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: You've turned him against his own people.
• 51:36
  Speaker 19: He doesn't love me.
• 51:38
  Speaker 11: Please, we must get out of here.
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: No, I can't.
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: I'm done for.
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: Get away while you can.
• 51:45
  Speaker 11: You're his mother.
• 51:46
  Speaker 12: I won't leave you.
• 51:46
  Speaker 6: I can't. I'll get help.
• 51:48
  Speaker 19: Someone will help us.
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: Someone.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: You go, Sue. Dianne. Dianne, any word of them? No,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: not a trace. La nor Belle. I've been all over
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: the North Shore.
• 52:12
  Speaker 9: Gretchen and the baby are still in the tent.
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: Stay with them.
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: I'll look.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: No, I'll try the South Shore.
• 52:17
  Speaker 7: Dianne, look.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: Belle. It's Belle and Ma. They're alive. They're safe.
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: Ma.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, my darling. And Ma. But we're living.
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Diane.
• 52:34
  Speaker 11: Oh, Diane.
• 52:37
  Speaker 9: Where are they?
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: Where?
• 52:38
  Speaker 13: Gretchen and the baby.
• 52:40
  Speaker 7: They're all right, Ma.
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: And Jack. Ma, he's here.
• 52:45
  Speaker 7: He's dead.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: Yes. You made it up with him. Sure, Mom. I
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: made it up with him.
• 52:53
  Speaker 9: Then I'll not be weeping. There's a living that need
• 52:56
  Speaker 9: looking after. Go to your wife, boy. Go to my daughter.
• 53:01
  Speaker 10: Don't stand there gawking at me.
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: It's she who loves you, Dion. And then her love
• 53:06
  Speaker 9: for you saved me.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Belle.
• 53:13
  Speaker 13: It's gone, Dion. The whole city.
• 53:19
  Speaker 11: Jack's gone with it. But what he stood for will
• 53:22
  Speaker 11: never die. It was a city of wood, and now
• 53:25
  Speaker 11: it's ashes. But out of the fire will be coming steel.
• 53:30
  Speaker 11: We'll live to see it, and our.
• 53:33
  Speaker 13: Children will see it. And he'll have his dreams.
• 53:37
  Speaker 11: Nothing can stop this city now any more than it
• 53:39
  Speaker 11: could stop him.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 53:42
  Speaker 13: The O'Leary's are a strange tribe.
• 53:46
  Speaker 11: What they set out to do, they finished.
• 53:49
  Speaker 13: I know. I'm one of them.
• 53:53
  Speaker 21: Before our stars return for a curtain call, here's Libby Collins,
• 54:08
  Speaker 21: and looking very thoughtful.
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: You know, I was wondering, John, were you a brunette
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: when you were a baby?
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Gosh, I don't know.
• 54:15
  Speaker 7: But my relatives insist I was the reddest.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Thing they ever saw.
• 54:18
  Speaker 13: That's just it.
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: Most babies aren't really beautiful when they're tiny. So they
• 54:23
  Speaker 5: need a little.
• 54:24
  Speaker 13: Showmanship to set them off.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: How do you mean?
• 54:26
  Speaker 13: Oh, by sticking to becoming colors. Just as smart grown-ups do.
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: Now, pink, for instance, can make a red-faced baby look
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: even redder.
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: Well, what would you suggest for the crib and creeper set?
• 54:37
  Speaker 13: Flattering pastels.
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: Canary yellow is lovely for a dark-haired darling.
• 54:42
  Speaker 13: Light, light blue sets off a blonde.
• 54:44
  Speaker 11: And a redhead would.
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: Be irresistible in sea green... Always pastels.
• 54:48
  Speaker 7: Of course.
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Strong soaps could easily ruin those delicate colors.
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: It'd be a shame to spoil dainty baby dresses and
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: sweaters with harsh treatment like strong soap and hot water.
• 54:58
  Speaker 5: And that goes for blankets and washable bassinet.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Trimmings, too.
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: All those pretty color things need gentle luxe care to
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: keep the colors lovely longer.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Don't babies still wear lots of white, too? Mm-hmm.
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: Shirts and diapers need luxe care, too, so they'll stay
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: soft and comfy.
• 55:13
  Speaker 7: Then if you've got a baby at your house.
• 55:15
  Speaker 5: You ought to have a big box of luxe flakes there.
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: Luxe is safe for little woolies and pretty dresses alike.
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: And so thrifty, you'll want to use it for all
• 55:24
  Speaker 5: baby things.
• 55:25
  Speaker 7: And now, here's Mr.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: DeMille with our stars.
• 55:30
  Speaker 6: Our stars, Dorothy L'Amour, Robert Young, and John Hodiak, come
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: to the footlights for their curtain calls. And all three
• 55:38
  Speaker 6: of you deserve a bouquet for tonight's performance.
• 55:41
  Speaker 13: Thank you, C.B.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: There's only one thing that bothers me about tonight's play, C.B.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: What's that, Bob? Well, I understood that Mrs. O'Leary's cow
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: was just a myth.
• 55:49
  Speaker 14: Well, you wouldn't expect a cow to be a myth there,
• 55:51
  Speaker 14: would you?
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Oh. Oh.
• 55:57
  Speaker 8: Oh, John, John.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: I mean that business about the cow kicking over the lantern.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: That's an exploded theory. It certainly exploded with a bang.
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: So did that gag.
• 56:06
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 56:08
  Speaker 9: You mean, Bob, that the cow's a lot of bull?
• 56:10
  Speaker 14: You too?
• 56:16
  Speaker 6: Well, if you're going to cross off Mrs. O'Leary's cow,
• 56:20
  Speaker 6: who did start that fire, Bob?
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Well, don't look at me. Well, maybe they rubbed two
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: Boy Scouts together. What's your theory about the fire, Dotty?
• 56:31
  Speaker 11: Well, all I know about fires is the one I
• 56:33
  Speaker 11: had in my dressing room the other day.
• 56:36
  Speaker 13: The firemen were there six hours.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Six hours to put out a fire in your dressing room?
• 56:41
  Speaker 7: No.
• 56:42
  Speaker 13: One hour to put out the fire. Five hours to
• 56:44
  Speaker 13: put out the firemen.
• 56:55
  Speaker 6: Speaking of dressing rooms, Dotty, I understand Paramount has just
• 56:59
  Speaker 6: released your new Technicolor picture, Rainbow Island.
• 57:03
  Speaker 13: That's right, CB.
• 57:04
  Speaker 11: But a more important bit of news right now is
• 57:06
  Speaker 11: what you're going to have for your 10th anniversary next
• 57:09
  Speaker 11: Monday night.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: Yes. What did you pick for next week, CB?
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: Well, Bob, as you know, I didn't do the picking myself.
• 57:16
  Speaker 6: Thousands of listeners sent us their suggestions from all parts
• 57:19
  Speaker 6: of the country.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: From those suggestions.
• 57:23
  Speaker 6: We're going to pick many plays and stars for our
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: 10th anniversary season. And the one we have for Monday
• 57:30
  Speaker 6: night is especially appropriate.
• 57:33
  Speaker 7: It's the first.
• 57:34
  Speaker 6: Play ever presented on the Lux Radio Theater. A drama
• 57:38
  Speaker 6: that has touched the hearts of millions of our listeners.

  Speaker 6: Jennifer Jones and Van Johnson. One of the great love

  Speaker 6: stories of all time. Seventh Heaven is laid in wartime Paris,
• 58:08
  Speaker 6: a city that once again symbolizes hope and love and
• 58:12
  Speaker 6: freedom to all the peoples of the earth.
• 58:14
  Speaker 13: Sounds like a wonderful birthday present, C.B.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Good night. Good night.
• 58:18
  Speaker 6: Good night.
• 58:19
  Speaker 21: Good night.

  Speaker 2: Fry.

  Speaker 13: It's the shortening by.
• 59:57
  Speaker 8: Yes, ma'am.
• 59:57
  Speaker 16: New Spry Cakes are lighter, better tasting. Spry pastry is
