• 0:58
  Speaker 3: star cast in These Three LUTs presents Hollywood. This program
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: tonight is your program made possible.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, by.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Your purchases of Luck's toilets over you will hear Errol Finn,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Barbara samk Mary Oster, Constance Collier, Alma Krueger, Marsha Made Jones,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and Helen Perrish and acting Samuel Goldwin's great screenplay He's Three,

  Speaker 3: While our special guests are those young writers.

  Speaker 2: The three Abbey children and their mother.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: The lux Radio Theater orchestra is conducted by Lois Silvers,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: and your host and producer is Hollywood's pioneer director, Ladies
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: and Gentlemen, mister Cecil Lee Demill. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: and gentlemen. A wedding in the film Capitol is often
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: front page news, but there was one the other day
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: which completely escaped the headlines, and properly so, for you've
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: never heard of the bride of the groom, and perhaps
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: you never will. The groom, in fact, is a stable boy,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: and the scene of the ceremony was the bunk house
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: where he and the hired hands live. But I doubt
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: if Hollywood ever witnessed a happier wedding, because one of
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: our most distinguished stars supplied the wedding feast, and she
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: herself attended, danced with everyone, made them all forget that
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: she is the groom's boss, and that her name is
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Barbara Standwick. That's the true character of the girl who
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: returns to our stage tonight, starring for us as Martha
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Adobe in these three.
• 2:33

  Speaker 3: daring career in the South Seas, plays.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Doctor Joseph Cardin.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Errol these days is twanging the longbow on the Warner
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Brother's lot, where he starred in the Adventures of Robin Hood.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Mary asked her, whom you've seen this year in Dodsworth,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Prisoner of Vender and Hurricane makes her debut to night
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: in the Lux Radio Theater, where you hear her as

  Speaker 3: Karen Wright from the cast of the film, Alma Krueger
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: as Missus Tilford, and Marsha made Jones as Rosalie. Helen

• 3:13
  Speaker 3: stage and films, whom we welcome in the role of
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Aunt Lily. Time won't allow me to say all I'd
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: like to about these seven important personalities, so we let
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: them speak for themselves as the Lux Radio Theater presents
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: these three, starring Errol Flynn, Barbara Stanwick and Mary Asta
• 3:48

  Speaker 3: about the campus, many of them for the last time.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Yah On the edge of the college grounds, two.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Girls in the robes of graduating students sit quietly beneath
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: a tree, listening to the distant sounds. They've been silent
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: for some time. At last one of them to speak.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: What train are you taking, Karen? I don't know. I
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: don't know what time my train goes or where it's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: going to. Funny, I always thought graduation would be a
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: happy day. It isn't. What was it, the dean said,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: let me see.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, starting a new life may sometimes be a lonely business.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do, Martha? Oh, I don't know.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Cheap somewhere, I guess if I can get a job.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I'd hate to tag along with Aunt Lily, and she's
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the only relation I've got.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: That's just one more than I have. Do you think
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I could teach? Maybe we could find some place together.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Two well educated young women, also neat and clean wish
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: position Martha.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Martha, I've got a farm about all I have got.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: My grandmother left it to me.
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: I haven't seen it in years, But I used to
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: spend my summers there when I was.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: A little girl. We could go there. We could work there,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: teaching the farm. No, no, there's no one there anymore.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: It hasn't been for years. Martha. You know we might
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: start at school, something of our own. It'd be fun.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: We'd good at it too, Yes, but it isn't practical.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: Care.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: We can't just sit here. We've got to do something. Yes,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: but we can get a train tonight. Oh Martha, take
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: a chance with me and come a chance. It is
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: a chance, but well it might be worse, of course
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: it is. How do.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Here you are? Girls? Oh but is this the old
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: right place? Are you sure? This is it? Two dollars please?
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I have a care and here driving, thanks lady.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Oh Martha, just look at it.
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: It's a shack. Well, it's a lie shack. It's ready
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: to fall down. Oh Mark, it doesn't matter. It matters
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: a great deal. I remember it as it was when
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: I was a kid. Very dangerous, Martha, remembering things that way.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe it wouldn't cost too much to fix
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: it up. No, not much.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: I should guess about two million would do it. What's
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: that somebody hammering?
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: It's over this way? Come on, they're up on the roof,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: up on the Martha. Do you see what I see? Well,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you see, but it looks to
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: me like a man. What's he doing up there anyway?
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: Say you?
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: Hey, you up there on the roof.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Hello, would you mind coming down here?
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: Please?
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Look out? Blow? How are you? We're all right there,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you. We were a little worried about you. Oh
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I'm all right. I was up there getting it some
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: money under the roof, but I didn't get stung once.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: No, that isn't what we were worrying about. You see,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: this is a house, and while it isn't the best
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: I've ever seen, it belongs to me and I'd rather
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: not have it roof knocked off.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I really wasn't doing any harm.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I'm very fond of this old place, and I come
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: over here whenever I have a day off from the hospital.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: Oh, the hospital, I see you have been there a while?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Oh went away? I'm a doctor. Will you have some honey? No,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: thank you, it's yours. You know, very good too. Better
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: take it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: We won't be needing it. We're not staying here.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm sorry. Why aren't you staying here? It's a
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: lovely old hat. It's old all right. Be afraid of work?
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: No, we're not afraid of work. And there you are.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: You know my place wasn't nearly as nice as this,
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: and it needed much more fixing too. It doesn't cost
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: much much less you think, and it's fun doing it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: It's so much fun. I'd like to start all over again.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Well, anything you could do, we could undoubtedly do. Sure,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: that's just what I said. We would, star, Karen. We'd
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: have free honey and free help. I'm a good carpenter,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: a good house painter, a good plumber. Why are we
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: talking to this man this way? Is if we've known
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: him all our lives. Well, that sometimes happens. Now, the
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: first thing I'd do is to knock down this old
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: fence here. Stop that, you're knocking the whole thing down. Oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: think nothing of that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Then when the crowns talk CLD, we can start walking
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: on the inside.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: See and there you are, Hey, Karen, is this picture
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: hanging straight?
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: It's beautiful.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Joe Joe Carton and his little hammer. How could we
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: ever have done without you? Oh you couldn't. Oh that
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: step ladder with him? Mother?
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: There we are all fixed up now, all he needs
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: a couple of studids.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: Oh we have one, you know what, Mary Tilford, she's

  Speaker 3: Ooh, just the same, no money, bad lab everybody growling
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: at everybody else?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Quiet? Yeah? Is it late nor? Only half passed in?
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: But the girls are in bed, and Aunt Lily is
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: worn out from doing nothing.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Hand me that paintbrush, will you?
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Karen tells me her aunt was showing the girls
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: how to play King Lear the other day.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: You know that's going to come in handy later on
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: in the life.
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Wait until she does Porscha standing on a chair. So
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Henry taught her to do it that way. So it
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: was the test of a great actress.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: You must have had a fine childhood mine, Oh I did.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I did. Indeed, I lived with Aunt Lily from the
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: time I was five.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: I went to sixteen schools all together, and every time
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: the stock Company would move, I'd move with it. But
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: school wasn't the worst part. It was after school and
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: never anything but hotel bedrooms to go home to. And
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: then in the evening I'd have to do my homework
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: sitting on a dirty box backstage and jump up to
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: help Aunt Lily chain from one blousy costume to an
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: even blowsier. And I used to be so alone and
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: so sorry that I couldn't have what other kids had,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: you know, I think that's really why I wanted to teach.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: Being young is awfully hard, and when I grew up
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: and I sort of wanted to make it easier for
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: other kids.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, I'm running out of faint Do you want to
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: go as from there? Joe? I said? Are you asleep? Joe?
• 16:36
  Speaker 16: Joe?
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: Oh, darling Joel, Hey, do you know what?
• 17:04

• 19:02
  Speaker 18: don't want to look too utterly childish.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: So baby sister's growing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 14: Up, is she?
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: So let's go and see what's in the closet. Let's
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: see now, this black one's a little too sophisticated. Now
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: what are you doing at my dressing table? Just putting
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: on some fresh makeup? It's pretty late, you know, when
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I've got to start getting ready.
• 19:21
  Speaker 18: I don't care how lady it is. Don't ever let
• 19:23
  Speaker 18: me catch you putting on makeup without first using lux
• 19:25
  Speaker 18: toilet soap.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: But my face isn't dirty. You may not think so.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: But if you want to guard against cosmetic.
• 19:31
  Speaker 19: Skin, heaven, yes, it would be horrible to have those
• 19:34
  Speaker 19: little blemishes and enlarged pores.
• 19:36
  Speaker 18: You're right here, Cosmetic skin is horrid. That's why you
• 19:39
  Speaker 18: want to use lux toilet soap always before you put on.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Fresh makeup, And that will keep my skin really lovely.
• 19:45
  Speaker 18: Hope, Please, don't be flippant, dear, you know it's true.
• 19:48
  Speaker 18: It's the active leather and lux toilet soap that removes
• 19:51
  Speaker 18: dust and dirt and stale cosmetics thoroughly prevents pores from
• 19:54
  Speaker 18: getting choked.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Well, even if you are my own sister, I must say,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: it's obvious you practice what you free because your skin
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: is swelled. Never mind my skin, Just look at the screen. Stars.
• 20:05
  Speaker 18: Nine out of ten of them use likes toilet soap.

  Speaker 2: So you don't think we should have come? Then what

• 32:49
  Speaker 3: us around with these lives.

  Speaker 17: Now?
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: Do any of us any good? Listen, Missus Tilford, you're
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: not playing with paper dogs. Where are you human beings?
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: It's our live.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: You're fooling with our lives. That serious business for us.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: Can you understand that?
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I understand that, and I understand a lot more.
• 33:10
  Speaker 12: You've been playing with a lot of children's eyes, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 12: that's why I stopped you. I think I know how
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: you must feel this right, You.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: Don't know anything about how I feel. You can't know
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: how any of us feel. You get lost trying to
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: fight alive very long. I did what I had to do.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: I had to tell those mothers.
• 33:31
  Speaker 12: Whatever we're done in your school may possibly be your
• 33:34
  Speaker 12: own business, but it becomes a great deal more than
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: that when children are involved.
• 33:40
  Speaker 9: But it's not true, not a word of it is true.
• 33:42
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry that I can't believe that, But you can
• 33:44
  Speaker 12: believe this.
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: We happen to be people who worked hard for what
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: we've got. That school meant things to us. It meant
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: self respect and bread and butter and honest works. And
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: now it's gone.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: There must be something we can do to you, something
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: that will make you feel the way we do tonight.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think we'll let you whisper this line. You
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: made it, and you will come out.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: With it in the court room tomorrow, Missus tiltd you
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: will have a slander suit on your hands.
• 34:12
  Speaker 12: That will be very unwise. It was wrong enough you
• 34:16
  Speaker 12: have braizen it out here tonight. It would be criminally
• 34:19
  Speaker 12: foolish for you to braise it out in public.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: It's already quite public, Missus Tilford. Yesterday we had our
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: lives decently to ourselves. Now we've nothing left but the
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: dirt you've made of us, or the dirt you've made
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: for yourself.
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: Clean your house, miss right, and in time count yourself
• 34:37
  Speaker 12: very lucky.
• 34:41
  Speaker 23: You have understood nothing nothing. These are my friends. When
• 34:46
  Speaker 23: we clean house, the three of us will clean it together.
• 34:49
  Speaker 23: Missus Tiffin, Perhaps we should clean your house for you.
• 34:54
  Speaker 23: Where's Mary, Missus Tilbin. Under now circumstances, I would not
• 34:58
  Speaker 23: allow that. So that's where you really We couldn't believe it.
• 35:02
  Speaker 23: She's a bad girl, You're Mary. She always has been.
• 35:05
  Speaker 23: She'd hated us for a long time.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: I won't have any more of this. You've been in
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: my house long enough. Get out. So wicked very young,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: and the wicked very old. Let's go home. Wait, Missus Tiffin.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: When three people come to you with their lives spread
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: on a table for you to cut to pieces, and
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: the only honest thing to do is to give them
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: one last chance to come out alive, we'd like that
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: last chance. If you're honest, you'll give it.
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: To us very well. Will you come this way? Please?
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 35:40
  Speaker 12: She's in the library, Oh Mary, Yes, Grandma, come here.

  Speaker 12: Dear doctor Carton wants to ask you a few questions. Hello, Mary, Well,
• 35:52
  Speaker 12: sit down, Mary. I want to tell you something first.
• 35:57
  Speaker 12: Everybody lies all the time. Sometimes they have to, sometimes
• 36:01
  Speaker 12: they don't. I've lied for a lot of different reasons myself, but.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: There was never a time when if I hadn't had
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: a second chance, I wouldn't have taken back the lie
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: and told the truth. You're a lucky girl, Mary, because
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: we're giving you that second chance. Were you telling your
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: grandmother the exact truth about about us?
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Yes, Doctor Cardon, Remember you're not going to be punished.
• 36:24

• 36:32
  Speaker 16: Oh, I do like things.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: They just don't like me.
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: They're always punishing me for everything.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Just tell your grandmother why you were punished yesterday?
• 36:40
  Speaker 9: Just because Rose, we never gone heard things and you
• 36:42
  Speaker 9: took it out on me.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: That's not the reason you were punished. I heard what things, Mary.
• 36:46
  Speaker 15: Missus Morty was telling Miss Doby that she knew what
• 36:48
  Speaker 15: was going on, that she knew what Miss Dodobey thought
• 36:50
  Speaker 15: about you.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: The things that.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: Happened, Missus tild my aunt is a stupid woman. What
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: she said was unpleasant. It was said to annoy me.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: It meant no more than that.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: What do you think missus Morton meant by that?
• 37:00
  Speaker 14: Mary?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 37:01
  Speaker 15: But funny things did happen. She said things about the
• 37:04
  Speaker 15: times when you'd come at night and we'd listen.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I'd get no, no, you don't want it to be still? Now?
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: What did you hear? What did you see? I don't know.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: It was just things. What things?
• 37:14
  Speaker 9: I don't know, but I saw plenty of things. We
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: all did. One night, Doctor Cartin was up in Miss
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: Drowby's room late and I was there.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Why did you think it was wrong for me to
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: be in Miss Drowbery's room?
• 37:22
  Speaker 15: Because because it was a night And I was leaning
• 37:25
  Speaker 15: down to the keyhole and I saw things and I
• 37:27
  Speaker 15: got scared, And then you left.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Missus Kurr again, how she could see us?
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: I was leting down to the keyhole.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: There is no key hole on my door? What there
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: is no key hole on my door?
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: It wasn't her room. Grandma was the other room.

• 37:49
  Speaker 5: end of the house.
• 37:50

• 38:26

  Speaker 2: It, asked mister Tiffrid.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: Very well, Rosally Rosalie, Missus Tilford, you deserve whatever you get.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: I I don't know.
• 38:41
  Speaker 16: Did you call me Missus Tilford?
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Yes, Rosalie.
• 38:46
  Speaker 19: Mary tells me that there's been a lot of talk
• 38:48
  Speaker 19: in the school about about miss Tby and doctor Carmon.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Is that true? I don't know what you mean. What
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: was the talk about? Don't be frightened, Rosalie. I don't
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: know what Missus Tilford me since try Rosalie.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Mary has told her grandmother that certain things at school
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: have been puzzling you girls.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: You particularly history puzzles me.
• 39:09
  Speaker 16: I guess I'm not very good at history.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: And Helen, no, no, that's not what she meant. She
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: says that you saw certain certain things between Miss Dodbye
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: and doctor Cardon that weren't that weren't right.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Oh no, I didn't.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: I never said saying.
• 39:26
  Speaker 14: I never thought.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she did too. You told me what you saw.
• 39:31
  Speaker 9: You're just trying to get out of it. I remember
• 39:33
  Speaker 9: when you said it.
• 39:34
  Speaker 15: I remember it because it was this was the day
• 39:37
  Speaker 15: Helen Burton's bracelet.
• 39:41
  Speaker 9: It was Slen and nobody knew who did it.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: And Helen said that if.
• 39:44
  Speaker 9: Her mother found out, she had the faith put.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: In jail.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: Was true. Yes, that's truth, Grandma. It was something I've
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: got to tell you.
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: It's about Helen Burton's braces.
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: I know it right.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: We passed for station identification.
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. Barbara standrik Errol Flynn
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: and Mary Astor returned to her shortly, and the third
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: act of our plays. Since a child figures so conspicuously
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: in these three I thought it appropriate to invite here
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: three youngsters who last year staff of the literary world
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: by writing the best seller around the world in eleven years.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: They are patients, Richard and Johnny Abbott, and knowing them,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: I can assure you they are nothing like the married too.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: For the these three, their mother is here with the
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: mena stage.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Their father, James Abbey, is the noted newspaper photographer who
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: liked to have his children name during.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: His assignments in Europe.
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: A few months ago, the Abbey children came to Hollywood
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: to gather material for another book.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: They called This One of All Places.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Published in October, it already has reached the sale of
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: twenty thousand copies and contained some of the shrewdest observations
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: on Hollywood I've ever encountered. Patience is thirteen, Richard is eleven,
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: and Johnny I'd say you're about ten, aren't you?
• 41:37
  Speaker 14: Hi?
• 41:37
  Speaker 17: Johnny am ten years old in mom here's thirty eight and.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: Is cetle.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Don't believe Mama once you broadcasting our age.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: Hi.
• 41:49
  Speaker 17: Johnny likes like mister Dumer because he has a nice
• 41:53
  Speaker 17: bald head like Papa's. I Richard think Papa's head is
• 41:58
  Speaker 17: balder and bumpier.
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: And I think we should change the subject, Richard. The
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: praises I patience, Aye, Johnny and I Richard have become
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: so well known that it might be a good idea
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: for you to explain how you happen to refer to
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: yourself in that manner.
• 42:14
  Speaker 17: Well, when we were children living in Paris, Mama would
• 42:18
  Speaker 17: be downstairs a lot of the time, and we would
• 42:20
  Speaker 17: be upstairs playing. Mama would say, which one of you
• 42:23
  Speaker 17: is making all that noise up there? And I would
• 42:26
  Speaker 17: say it is I, patients, that it's what I. So
• 42:32
  Speaker 17: we got in the habit of saying I patients are
• 42:34
  Speaker 17: Richard or I Johnny.
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: Very sensible. Now tell us about your new home in Colorado.
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: Don't you miss tall buildings and exciting things that happen
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: in the city. I, Richard.
• 42:43
  Speaker 17: Liked tall mountains better than tall buildings. And there is
• 42:47
  Speaker 17: nothing more exciting than building a new home out of logs,
• 42:50
  Speaker 17: which we are doing now on our ranch. I Johnny
• 42:53
  Speaker 17: would just as soon keep on taking the bath and
• 42:56
  Speaker 17: a tin top in front of this of the fire,
• 42:59
  Speaker 17: like we have to do in.
• 43:01
  Speaker 16: Our present house. Or present house is not very high plays.
• 43:06
  Speaker 17: I patients think one of the nicest things about taking
• 43:09
  Speaker 17: a bath is the Lucks tilet soap we use. I
• 43:13
  Speaker 17: Richard think you are trying to make an impression with
• 43:16
  Speaker 17: mister Demel. But it's so, mister Demil, as Mama can
• 43:22
  Speaker 17: tell you.
• 43:23
  Speaker 24: That's quite true, mister Demil. The children have like luck
• 43:26
  Speaker 24: soap for a long time. Even while we were living abroad,
• 43:29
  Speaker 24: we could get Lucks toilet soap almost any time in
• 43:32
  Speaker 24: any place. When we were in Hollywood this summer, we
• 43:35
  Speaker 24: visited the homes of any number of stars and was
• 43:38
  Speaker 24: really quite amazing to see how popular Lucks toilet soap
• 43:41
  Speaker 24: is with picture stars.
• 43:43
  Speaker 17: Ah right, Johnny like Hollywood very much. The stars let
• 43:47
  Speaker 17: us swim in their swimming pools and didn't mind if
• 43:50
  Speaker 17: we stayed till ten o'clock.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Some of the stars, or the danger.
• 43:54
  Speaker 25: I patients remember being Crossby especially, he's like a nice farmer.
• 43:59
  Speaker 9: His eyes are blue, very beautiful.
• 44:01
  Speaker 17: They may call him a crooner, but as far as
• 44:03
  Speaker 17: we can turn, being Crossby is a fine man.
• 44:07
  Speaker 9: Carrie Grant, Carrie Grant.
• 44:09
  Speaker 17: Is a wonderful man with black guys and fine teeth.
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: They're not fools.
• 44:17
  Speaker 25: My patients think Hollywood is one of the most beautiful
• 44:20
  Speaker 25: places in the world at neither it is like the
• 44:23
  Speaker 25: Arabian nights full of jewels. And as you can forgive anything,
• 44:26
  Speaker 25: if there is anything to forgive when you see a
• 44:28
  Speaker 25: city that is such a sight as that at night,
• 44:31
  Speaker 25: and figure that it would not look that way if
• 44:33
  Speaker 25: there was anything wrong.
• 44:35
  Speaker 17: And I, Richard, think we have talked wrong.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Enough and would rather sit down and hear the play.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: So let's beat it.
• 44:42
  Speaker 25: You had any manage, you say thank you first to
• 44:45
  Speaker 25: mister Dmail. Thank you, mister Demail.
• 44:47
  Speaker 17: Thank mister Demail.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: You're very welcome.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: Robera stanrik erro friend Mary Asta that all star cast
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: fors you ma pay these three.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: All weeks have.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: Gone by, weeks which have dragged interminably through a trial
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: for slander, ending in a judgment against.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: The two girls.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: At the deserted farmhouse, Karen stands near the window, looking
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: out at the bleak countryside. Martha comes from the hall
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: and throws her coat on a chair.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: It's getting cold. I thought you were going out for
• 45:32

  Speaker 2: The lies of a child called Mary Tilford. Oh what
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: a dreadful girl.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: A great part of the Tilford case was based on
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: remarks made by Lily Mortar, actress against her niece that's me,
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: And a greater part of the case rested on the
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: telling fact that Missus Mortar would not appear in court
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: to deny or explain those remarks. As you probably read
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: in the papers, we lost the case.
• 47:23
  Speaker 10: We couldn't have done any good for all of us.
• 47:25

  Speaker 2: The music swells, the audience applause.
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: The curtain slowly falls, bringing our play to its happy conclusion.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: Checking up on the current doings of our principles, I
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: learned that this first week of December finds Mary Astor
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: just finishing a new film at MGM. Barbara Stanwick is
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: casting a proud eye on the race horses at their
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: San Fernando Valley ranch, preparing for the Santa Anita track opening.
• 56:43
  Speaker 3: Whialero Flynn, as I mentioned before, is swinging the quarterstaff
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: and wearing Lincoln Green at Robin Hood. I hope Errol,
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: that your picture is as big a hit as when
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: Douglas Fairbanks played the role just fifteen years ago. Well, thanks,
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: mister Demill, I hope so too. I remember the old
• 56:57
  Speaker 3: version distinctly. I was at school in Ireland at the time,
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: sneaked out of classes and spent my lunch money for tickets.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: By the way, what else were your people in Hollywood
• 57:04
  Speaker 3: turning out those days? Well, many of our listeners will
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: recall Orphans of the Storm with the Gish.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Sisters, produced by D. W.
• 57:11
  Speaker 16: Griffith.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: I tried to rival it with Fool's Paradise and Manslaughter.
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: My big stars were Dorothy Dawkin, Conrad Nagel, Thomas Mahn,
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: and letros Joy. Sound pictures were four years away, and
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: Rudolph Valentino was silently elevating the blood pressure of the
• 57:27
  Speaker 3: feminine world. Barbara Stanwick, in her very early teens, was
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: already dancing in a New York carus and Mary asked her, well, Mary,
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: what does nineteen twenty two mean to you?
• 57:37
  Speaker 5: Well, for one thing, it brings back the hours I
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: spent in my father's room playing with a contraption he'd
• 57:41
  Speaker 5: just built. It consisted of a wire coil, a pair
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: of earphones, a piece of crystal in a couple of
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: inches of wire known as a cat's whisker.
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: I think Dad called it a radio.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: It was the year that the Sheep was no kind
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: of a book for any respectable girl to read?
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: And did we eat it up?
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: And the whole country was humming a tune called April Showers,
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: written by the musical director of this program, Lou Silvers. Yes,
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: and girls began bobbing their hair, and some of them
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: got fired from their jobs for doing it. Not long after,
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: with lux toilet so came along and I hear it
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: made the same fine impression on the Hollywood Stars of
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: the twenties as it does today.
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: To me, it's the finest complexion care in the world.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: And I think Barbara will back me up.
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: Of course I will marry because I use lux toilets
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: help every day in the year, and I think that's
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: the best recommendation I could give. Thank you, mister de
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: Mill for another grand evening, and to all our listeners good.
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: Night, and may I add just one word of gratitude
