• 0:04
  Speaker 1: nightclub singer, and before long, they are married. But when
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: he brings his bride home to Old Sharon, a conservative
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: college town, he has yet to tell his family. Meanwhile,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: she is mistaken for the companion of his wayward cousin.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: From January 6, 1941, CBS presents Lux Radio Theater, episode 289,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Vivacious Lady, adapted from the 1938 RKO radio pictures film.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Alice Fay and Don Ameche head the cast in this
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: romantic comedy of Manhattan high spirits meeting academic respectability. We
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: now take you back to the original broadcast.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Lux.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Alice Faye
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and Don Amici in Vivacious Lady.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: DeMille.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. And a salute, an
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: extra special grade A four-star salute to 1941. We haven't
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: got a crystal ball handy, so we can't predict what
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: the hit plays of this new year will be. But
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: we can make another prediction, that whatever those hits are,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: we'll have the cream of the crop right here in
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: the Lux Radio Theater. And that goes for the star crop, too.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: But tonight, since 1941 is yet too young to have
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: plays of its own, We bring you a comedy that
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: would be a hit in any year. Vivacious Lady, with
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: two stars who'd pack any theater, Alice Faye and Don Amici.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: You'll hear Don as a young college professor in this
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: adaptation of the RKO picture. A professor who acquires a
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: beautiful torch singer as a bride, brings her back to
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: college and totally upsets the academic calm of the campus.
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Alice Faye is the lady, the vivacious lady, who won't
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: put up with academic calm. especially when it involves the
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: man she loves. It's a situation that producers call box office,
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: and that's how we want to start the new year.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: You see, our box office is very different from the
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: kind they have in ordinary theaters, and our box office
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: reports tell a unique story. They tell of an audience
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: that covers an entire continent, an audience we have to
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: please in two ways, with our plays and with our product,
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: Lux Flakes. Here in the Lux Radio Theater, it takes
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: plenty of good hard work to please you. But once
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: you've tried it, we don't have to worry about our
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: product pleasing you. Summing up for the year 1940, our
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: box office story has a happy ending because the mailbag
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: is heavier than ever. From Boston Harbor to the Golden Gate,
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: more women are finding Lux flakes indispensable at home. And
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: now we begin 1941 on a very optimistic note by
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: raising the curtain on the first act of Vivacious Lady.
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: starring Don Amici as Peter and Alice Fay as Francie.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: There's a hot time in the Club Velasquez tonight. Cover charge,
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: two dollars. The Velasquez is strictly a formal spot. That's
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: why Peter Morgan looks so out of place. Attired in
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: a light spring suit and top coat, he stands near
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: the entrance, his eyes roving anxiously around the room. He's
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: twisting his hat in his hands That's a mistake, too.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: No gentleman in a New York nightclub is permitted to
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: remain in possession of his hat.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: Check your hat, mister.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Oh, of course.
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: Say, maybe you could help me. I'm looking for a Mr.

  Speaker 6: Mister, we haven't seen anything but Mr.
• 3:58
  Speaker 8: Beston since last Tuesday.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: Oh, then he's here?

  Speaker 7: of these semi-annual frolics. Now, come on.

  Speaker 7: Then you... Oh, oh, oh.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Well, what's the matter?
• 6:25
  Speaker 7: Uh, nothing, nothing. I just didn't expect you to be...
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: I mean, I expected you to be... Uh, you're so different.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Say, are you swacked?
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: I beg your pardon?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I said, are you tight?
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: Uh, no, no, I'm not intoxicated, if that's what you mean.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what I meant, all right.
• 6:43
  Speaker 7: No, I'm just... Uh, well, the only way I can
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: explain it, uh, I can't.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Well, that's clear. I, uh, I.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Beg your pardon, sir.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Uh, yes, we do. Mr. Bessington asked me to tell
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: you he's gone to the hotel to pack. He'll meet
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: you on the train to Old Sharon.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: Oh, uh, thank you. Yes. Well, I guess I, uh,
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: I better get along.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess you better. That friend of yours needs
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: somebody to take care of him.
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: Well, that's what I'm here for. Uh, Keith and I
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: are cousins.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, cousins.
• 7:08
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 7:09
  Speaker 13: You know, you know, I think he's a little wacky.
• 7:11
  Speaker 13: I've only known him a week, but every night since,
• 7:13
  Speaker 13: he's asked me to marry him. And every time I
• 7:15
  Speaker 13: say no, he gets wackier.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: Well, I was appointed to Committee One. The folks thought
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: it would be an excellent idea if I came along
• 7:20
  Speaker 7: and saw that he got home safely.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good thing you're here. Look, is there
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: anything the matter with me? What? I mean, is my
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: hair on crooked or something? The way you keep looking
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: at me, I'm getting a little uncomfortable.
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: Why, I'm sorry. See, this is the first time I've
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: ever spoken to an actress.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not exactly an actress. I'm a singer. Oh. Oh.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: So you don't have to be afraid.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: Do you sing again tonight?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: No, no. That was my last show.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: Oh, all finished?
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: All finished.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Have a cigarette?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: No, thanks.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: Something to drink?
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: No. No, I never use it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 7:58
  Speaker 7: I couldn't get you anything to eat. Yes.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, I believe I would like something to eat.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Oh, fine.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Waiter. Oh, no, no, no.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Not in here.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: The food's terrible here.
• 8:07
  Speaker 7: Oh, well, then.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Do you want to take me out or don't you?
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: Oh, yes, yes, I do. I want to take you
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: out very much.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Well, how about it?
• 8:16
  Speaker 7: All right, come on. If you don't have to hurry home,
• 8:21
  Speaker 7: we might see some in New York.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Huh? Oh, that'll be grand.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Did you call, sir?
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: No, don't bother, Charlie. We're leaving. I'm going out to
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: see New York. Good night.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: Good night.
• 8:32
  Speaker 7: Now, there's a novelty.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: See New York. Hey, Charlie, did he go?
• 8:35
  Speaker 13: Huh?
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, he went.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, boy. Oh, boy.
• 8:39
  Speaker 15: Did I give him the runaround?
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Boy, will he be sore. Boy, did we get rid
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: of him. Say, where's Francie? Oh, boy, did we get
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: rid of him. But Francie went with him.
• 8:50
  Speaker 9: Oh, boy.
• 8:51
  Speaker 14: Huh?
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: He's showing in New York. Oh, boy.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: Oh, boy.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: And there's big broad streets in Old Sharon with shade trees.
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: And flower gardens and great big roomy old houses with
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: ivy crawling up the.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Sides of the walls.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, it sounds swell.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: And it's so quiet, too.
• 9:18
  Speaker 13: What?
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: I said it's quiet in Old Sharon. Oh, I'd like that. Say,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: if you're tired walking, we could go for a bus ride.
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: Yes, I've always wanted to live in a nice, quiet place.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: No, no, I asked if you wanted to take a
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: bus ride.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: What?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: A bus ride.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: A bus ride.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: So, you see, it's quite a wonderful place. Fascinating.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Old Sharon?
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: Yes, I can't imagine a finer place to live.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Sounds faintly like a picture of heaven, the way you
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: tell it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: Oh, look.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Did I miss it? something?
• 10:01
  Speaker 7: Oh, now, that's an inspiration, isn't it?
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: What is?
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: Those buildings. It's one of the greatest universities in the
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: country right there. You don't say. Wonderful, isn't it? Just
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: to see it, it gives you a kind of a lift,
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: doesn't it?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't believe I ever noticed. Say, what are you?
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm a professor... Well, not quite. I'm an associate
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: professor in biology. My grandfather was president of Old Sharon University.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, good.
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: My father's president now. Someday I'm going to be.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Say, that's really something, isn't it?
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: They look dead because they don't get enough nourishment and
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: because of noxious gases which destroy the chemical balance of
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: the soil. Some botanist friends of mine are working on
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: a tree that will thrive in the city atmosphere.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Well, if they ever find one that'll live on carbon monoxide,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I guess they've got something.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah. You know, I'm afraid I haven't talked in a
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: great deal, have I?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Well, yes, you do talk a lot, but I like it.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: I assure you, I've never talked this much before. I
• 11:10
  Speaker 7: just realized I'm trying to make an impression.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Well, you could let me say something. I'd like to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: make an impression, too.
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, well, you don't have to say anything.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: No?
• 11:19
  Speaker 7: No, you speak for yourself and very eloquently, too.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: Oh, say, it's late, isn't it? I guess I missed
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: my train.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's too bad.
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: Oh, it's all right. There's another one tonight. I'll just
• 11:30
  Speaker 7: get hold of Keith and make sure we're on it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Well, goodbye.
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: Goodbye? Why?
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I live here.
• 11:37
  Speaker 13: Oh.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Oh.
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: Well, it certainly has been wonderful.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know when I've had such a good time
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: seeing New York.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: Oh, you know, I never thought seeing New York wasn't
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: much of a thrill for you.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, but it was. Really, it was.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: Look, it's my turn now. Is there anything the matter
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: with me? No.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Nothing at all. Bye.
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: Bye.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Wait.
• 12:08
  Speaker 7: Yes? Tell me, do you think things out carefully?
• 12:12
  Speaker 16: Things?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: You mean small things or important things?
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: Everything.
• 12:18
  Speaker 13: Well, if they're small things, I never do. But if
• 12:22
  Speaker 13: they're important things, well, I never do either.
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: Well, I think you ought to think them out, don't you?
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: Because lots of times small things develop into very important things.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Yes, but if you think things out, they happen anyhow.
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: You mean there are some things you can't control, huh?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think you can control anything.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: Well, that's the way I feel. Say, did you kiss me?
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I thought you kissed me.
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: Well, this is silly, isn't it? This is.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: Very silly.
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: But I don't mind. Do you?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: No. Do you?
• 13:03
  Speaker 14: No.
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: Do you?
• 13:05
  Speaker 13: No.
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: Now, listen, Porter, he has brown hair, blue eyes, about
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: six feet tall, and his name is Keith Beston. I
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: ain't seen him, boss. Well, will you look for him?
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: He can.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: Uh, wait, wait, wait, wait. Never mind.
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: There he is, right over there. Keith.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Keith, Keith.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Now, come on.
• 13:26
  Speaker 9: Wake up.
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Wake up. Who is it? Oh, Peter.
• 13:30
  Speaker 14: Hi.
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: Keith, listen, the most wonderful thing has happened. Some people
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: would say it's a miracle.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: And so?
• 13:34
  Speaker 7: But there's nothing particularly miraculous about it, Keith. It's just
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: a matter of chemistry. You see, anodes attract cathodes.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: How cozy.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: When we saw each other, our chemicals began to work.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: Finally, I came to the conclusion that she's the most
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: wonderful girl in the world. So, Keith.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: I know, I know. Don't tell me you're in love.
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: Oh, no, no. I'm married.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: Married to cathode? Cathode. What a funny name for a girl.
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: Her name is Francie.
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, Francie. Francie's a very pretty name.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Francie.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Hey, hey, that's my girl.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: I've got to go now, Keith. I'll see you in
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: the morning.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Hey, hey, wait.
• 14:06
  Speaker 13: Wait.
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: Peter.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Peter, here I am.
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, oh, oh.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: What are you trying to do, lose her?
• 14:14
  Speaker 7: Oh, no. I'm never going to lose you.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: You better not. It only took a day to happen, but... Oh,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I'm in love with you for always. Think you can
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: stand it?
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: I'll try.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Peter, what did Keith say?
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: Oh, Ellie's a little startled at finding he's married.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: So am I.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: Tell me, did you get a drawing room?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, I had a terrible time. There was only one
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: left on the whole train.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: But you got it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Right here. Drawing room A.
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: Oh, well, let's go in.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Wait, Peter. Yeah? Peter, I've never been married before.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Frightened?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Frightened. No.
• 14:43
  Speaker 13: As a matter of fact, I'm never going to be
• 14:45
  Speaker 13: frightened again now that I have you. You're my wall
• 14:47
  Speaker 13: to lean again.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: Well, I've always tried to be a strong man. Uh,
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: in a... Conservative sort of way.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Well, my big, strong, and conservative man, you can get
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: your shoulders ready and carry me across our first threshold.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: Oh, no, no, Francie. That's what people did a thousand
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: years ago. That's old stuff.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, please.
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, all right, darling, all right.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, Pico. Oh, Peter.
• 15:11
  Speaker 9: Step right in, folks. We love visitors.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: Can't you knock before you come busting in on people?
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: Well, I beg your pardon.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Peter, Peter, put me down.
• 15:18
  Speaker 9: All right, buddy, I know just how it is.
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, just how is it?
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: Will you keep quiet? Can't a man make a mistake?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Isn't this drawing room A, car 71?
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: Yes, this is drawing room A, car 71, and.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: There's our ticket.
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: Why, it's the same as ours.
• 15:31
  Speaker 9: So what?
• 15:32
  Speaker 13: Well, Elmer, what are you going to do about this traffic?
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Throw them out.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: Will you shut up?
• 15:36
  Speaker 9: Can't you see they're going?
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: Look, we just got married.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know why it is.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Every time I go on a trip with you, something
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: always happens.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Is that so?
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Listen. Yes, that's so.
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: Now, look, dear, why can't you be a nice baby
• 15:46
  Speaker 10: and keep quiet before.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: I pin your big ears back? Oh, excuse me.
• 15:50
  Speaker 17: You heard him.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: You're witnessing.
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I wish you had a mother to go back to.
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: I wish I had another husband to go back to.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: All right, all right.
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: Get one at the next station.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'll bet when you two grow up, you're going
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: to be a couple of nasty people. Come on, Peter,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: let's go.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Well, that's that.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Well, we could go sit in the observation car.
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess we could. Come on, darling. Oh, Sharon.
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: Oh, Sharon, Nick.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: Come on, we're here, Francie. Hurry.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know. Oh, Peter. Yes? Peter, what is it
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: a professor's wife has to do? I forgot to ask
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you yesterday.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: Well, mostly just keep the professor happy, that's all. Oh,
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: you're going to like old Sharon, Fancy. And you'll like
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: my family, too. Oh, and they're going to love you.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Oh, I hope so. Never having had a family of
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: my own, I sort of have an illusion about one. Morning, Peter.
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: Oh, good morning, Keith.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Hello, Keith.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: Why, Francie, what are you doing here?
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Well, I just thought of.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Oh, I remember. I married you last night. Darling, kiss me.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Wait a minute.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: I married her.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Well, that's all right. Then we're cousins. I can kiss
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: my own cousin, can't I?
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: Uh, come on, come on, Francie.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, there's your family, Pete. Yeah. Hey, the old man
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: looks kind of calm.
• 17:10
  Speaker 18: I thought he'd be pretty excited when he heard you
• 17:12
  Speaker 18: were married.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: Well, I haven't told him yet.
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, you haven't told him yet? No. And save me
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: two good seats on the 50-yard line.
• 17:17
  Speaker 12: Well, I didn't want to tell him over the phone.
• 17:20
  Speaker 12: You know how excited Father gets over the phone. Why
• 17:22
  Speaker 12: limit him to the phone? He'd throw a fit anyplace.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Say, it sounds like I sort of walked into something.
• 17:27
  Speaker 18: Right up to your beautiful neck, lady. Peter's father is
• 17:30
  Speaker 18: Henry VIII of Old Sharon. He cuts the heads off.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Of our young brides.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah?
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: Oh, now, wait a minute, Keith. I'm old enough to
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: know what I'm doing. I thought this thing out very carefully,
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: and if Dad has anything to say, let him say
• 17:40
  Speaker 7: it to my face.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, don't worry.
• 17:41
  Speaker 9: He will.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: He will.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Look, maybe I'd better go someplace and wait until you've
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: had a chance to straighten things out.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Well, uh, you can come to my place. It's a
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: lovely place.
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: Oh, no.
• 17:50
  Speaker 14: Oh, no.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'd better, Peter. Then you can tell them how
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: wonderful I am, and then I'll come over later.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: No, no. I, uh.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, I don't... I don't like this.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Goodbye, Peter.
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: Goodbye, Peter.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Goodbye. What do you mean, goodbye? I'll see you in
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: just a few minutes. I'll carry your bag, Cousin Francie.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute. Who is that over there?
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: Peter's father.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I figured that, but who's the girl?
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Oh, her. Her name's Helen. Just a girl Peter's engaged to.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Engaged? Why, he's the bickermas.
• 18:21
  Speaker 18: Only in the second degree. She's something the old man
• 18:24
  Speaker 18: whipped up. You know, blue blood and a black tongue.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Thoroughbred.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Come on. No, no, wait a minute. I want to
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: give her the one silver.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: Sure, sure.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: But, Dad, listen. Don't tell me.
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: I can see with my own eyes. I sent you
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: to New York to bring Keith home.
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: Yes, well, I brought him, Dad.
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: I didn't expect you to be weak enough to allow
• 18:45
  Speaker 9: him to bring that blonde with him.
• 18:47
  Speaker 17: Isn't that the girl you spoke to me about over
• 18:50
  Speaker 17: the phone?
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: Yes, that's the girl. But that was before.
• 18:55
  Speaker 17: She's a nice girl, Dad. Peter, you're 26 years old.
• 18:59
  Speaker 17: When you were 12, I informed you. And you still
• 19:01
  Speaker 17: don't know one woman from another. This is a subject
• 19:04
  Speaker 17: that doesn't bear discussing now. You may use the car
• 19:06
  Speaker 17: and take Helen home. I have a board meeting at
• 19:08
  Speaker 17: the university.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: But, Dad, this is... Wait, wait, Dad.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Come on, Peter.
• 19:11
  Speaker 11: I know it wasn't your fault.
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: Uh, what do you mean, Helen?
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: Well, Keith is allergic to blondes. Every time he gets
• 19:17
  Speaker 11: near one, he breaks out.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: In a race.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah?
• 19:19
  Speaker 11: I didn't want to tell you this before, but his
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: best friends.
• 19:22
  Speaker 7: Say that Say what? Go on.
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: Oh, never mind, dear. Why should you worry about it?
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: Well, I do, in a way. Oh, Mr.
• 19:29
  Speaker 18: Morgan.
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: Now, what's she coming over here for?
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, Mr.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: Morgan, I want to thank you for everything you've done.
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: Listen, I... I had such.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: A wonderful time in New York. Every time I think
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: of it, I break out in goose flesh all over.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Ah, nice.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Do you ever break out in goose flesh? Well, not lately.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: Francie, listen.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I'll always think of you, Mr.
• 19:48
  Speaker 13: Morgan, as my cousin, and I suppose it's all right
• 19:50
  Speaker 13: for cousins.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: To kiss goodbye, isn't it? There. Goodbye, Mr. Morgan. Well,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: that was very pretty.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Helen, that girl is.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: It's all right, darling.
• 20:04
  Speaker 11: We'll just consider her.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Your wild oats.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: But, Helen... I might say right now I.
• 20:08
  Speaker 11: Don't think I care for her. Well, come along, Peter.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Well, Cousin Francie, ready?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I'm ready. You know something, Keith?
• 20:18
  Speaker 17: What?
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling, just a sneaky little feeling, that
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: someday I'm going to punch my husband's fiancé right on
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: the nose.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: The curtain falls on Act One of Vivacious Ladies, starring
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Alice Faye and Don Amici. Mr. DeMille presents Act Two
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: in just a moment. You know, there's an old saying
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: that good things go in threes. Well, here are three
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: good words that are growing more and more popular with
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: women every day.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: New, quick, luxe.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Growing so popular that new, quick, luxe is now America's
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: favorite way of caring for nice things by a vote
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: of two to one. Yes, all over the country. It's
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: two to one for luxe flakes. Twice as many women
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: use luxe for stockings, under things, other nice things, too,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: as use any other flakes, chips, or beads.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Well, no wonder, Mr.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Ruick.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: There are three very good reasons why new quick luxe
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: is so popular.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: First, new quick luxe is so fast, it bubbles into
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: suds at the touch of water. Why, in water as
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: cool as your hand, it dissolves three times as fast
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: as any of ten other leading soaps tested. Second, here's
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: the second reason women like New Quick Luxe. It goes further,
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: gives you more subs ounce for ounce, even in hard water,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: than any of those other soaps. Third, third comes the
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: reason you all know, Luxe purity. New Quick Luxe flakes
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: are gentle and safe, have no harmful alkali. They're safe
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: for anything safe in water. Speed, thrift, and safety. New
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Quick Flux gives you all three. Ask your dealer for
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: a big box tomorrow. It comes in the same familiar
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: package at no extra cost to you. And now, our producer, Mr.
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: DeMille.
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Act Two of Vivacious Lady. Starring Donna Michie as Peter
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: and Alice Faye as Francie. It's later the same morning.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: Peter Morgan, Jr. has arrived at home determined to break
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: the news of his marriage. In the living room, he
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: faces Peter Morgan, Sr. Peter Morgan, Jr. takes a deep
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: breath and plunges in.
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: Now, Dad, I want to tell you something.
• 22:50
  Speaker 17: Oh, by the way, Peter, the student council meets this afternoon.
• 22:53
  Speaker 17: As a member of the advisory committee, you're going to be.
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: There, of course.
• 22:57
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Now, Dad.
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: Oh, yes, another thing that I wanted to speak to
• 23:00
  Speaker 9: you about. We're having the.
• 23:03
  Speaker 17: usual spring difficulties between our, uh, male and female students
• 23:08
  Speaker 17: a little early this season.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: What?
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: There's entirely too much necking. There's entirely too much, uh,
• 23:13
  Speaker 9: fraternizing in the locker room.
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: Uh, all right, I'll take care of it. Now, Dad,
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: I want to explain to you about that girl at
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: the station.
• 23:19
  Speaker 17: Peter, I'm sure you'll be happy to know I've decided
• 23:21
  Speaker 17: to give it no more thought, as far as you're concerned.
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: Yes, but, Dad, you don't quite understand. The subject is closed. Oh, no, no,
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: the subject is not closed. It can't be closed.
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: Really? This whole matter is distasteful.
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: Well, at the risk of proving myself a bore, I
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: insist on talking about it.
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: And I insist that you respect my wishes.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Father, Peter, your voice is.
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry, Mother.
• 23:39
  Speaker 16: Is there anything the matter, dear?
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Well, um.
• 23:41
  Speaker 17: Peter insists on talking about a thoroughly distasteful subject.
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: Well, it isn't distasteful to me, and I will not
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: be treated like an infant.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Don't shout!
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: Shouting is the effort of a limited mind to express itself.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, my heart.
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: Oh, Mother, I'm sorry.
• 23:53
  Speaker 9: Quick, quick, get her to the sofa. Quickly now.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 23:58
  Speaker 14: Now.
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: Now, see what you've done.
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: I'm sorry.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: I didn't mean.
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: Get the smelling salts.
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: Get the smelling salts, I tell you. You know your
• 24:05
  Speaker 9: mother can't stand excitement.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Mother, mother.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm all right, dear.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: Are you sure? I'm so sorry.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Mother, but.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: But sooner or later, Dad.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Be quiet.
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: Haven't you caused enough damage?
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: All right, Dad. All right.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Hello?
• 24:31
  Speaker 14: Hello, darling.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: This is Peter.
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: Oh, Peter.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Is it all settled? Have you told the folks?
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: Well, no, not yet.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, Peter.
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: But look, I have an idea.
• 24:42
  Speaker 14: I want you to get all dressed up, as beautiful
• 24:44
  Speaker 14: as you are, and get Keith to take you to
• 24:46
  Speaker 14: the prom tonight.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: My folks will be there.
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: All right, darling. I'll be even more beautiful than I am.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Is that my dear cousin Peter?
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Keith, he wants you to take me to the prom tonight.
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Hello? The prom? Give me that phone. Hey, Peter, why
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: bore Francie her first night here?
• 25:00
  Speaker 14: Now, now, Keith, listen to me. I want her to
• 25:03
  Speaker 14: meet the folks while I tell them. It'll be much
• 25:06
  Speaker 14: easier with all the music and atmosphere and everything. And
• 25:10
  Speaker 14: they're sure to love her.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: Well, so far, everybody in the family who's met her
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: loves her.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: Now, Keith, you take good care of her, will you?
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: Don't worry, I will. We'll meet you in the locker room.
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: All right, thanks. No, no, you stay out of that
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: locker room!
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Peter, you mean you still haven't told.
• 25:33
  Speaker 7: Oh, now, now, don't worry. Everything is going to be
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: explained tonight, just as soon as Mother and Dad get here.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, do you think I'll like them? I mean, I mean,
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: do you think they'll like me?
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: Oh, nothing like you ever happened to the Morgans before.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Oh, darling.
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, Francie.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Break it up, break it up. The locker rooms are
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: over that way.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: Oh, Keith, now listen.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: You listen. Your fiancée is on her way over here.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, Peter, I've been meaning to talk to you about her.
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: Not now, darling, not now, please.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: Peter, where did you disappear to? Oh, hello, Helen.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: Where have you been?
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I'm checking your hat.
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, checking my hat, yes, yes. Helen, I want you
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: to meet Miss.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Uh, Miss, uh, Francie Brent.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: How do you do? Oh, yes, I recognize you by
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: your goose flesh.
• 26:17
  Speaker 13: Oh, yes, it is nice having something that makes you
• 26:19
  Speaker 13: stand out from the crowd.
• 26:21
  Speaker 11: Your platonic friendships are becoming a little irksome, Keith.
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Come, sweet.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll, uh, I'll be right back.
• 26:27
  Speaker 7: Excuse me, Miss Brent.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Come, sweet. Who does she think she is? Well, mow
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: her down.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: Here, here, take it easy.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Look at them dancing. If she gets any closer to him,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: she'll be behind him. I can't stand it another second.
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: I'm going to mow her down.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: No, no. Come here.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Look at me. Look at me. I'm shaking all over.
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: Get outside. I'll cut in on Peter and send him
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: out to you.
• 26:50
  Speaker 12: Now, go on.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: Go on.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't mean to be foolish, but the way
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: you were holding her.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: Oh, now, darling, please.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: She was holding me.
• 27:08
  Speaker 7: Peter....
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: Peter, would I be too much of a bore if
• 27:13
  Speaker 13: I suggested that you break off your engagement to that girl?
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: Francie, dear, the engagement is broken. She doesn't know anything
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: about it yet, but I just want to take one
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: thing at a time.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Well, you don't have to bite my head off about it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 7: Oh, gosh, sweetheart, here we are quarreling in public and
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: nobody even knows we're married.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: That's just it, darling. We can't even quarrel in public
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: because you won't tell them we're married.
• 27:35
  Speaker 7: Well, on the other hand, if we want to quarrel
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: in public, why shouldn't we quarrel in public?
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: All married people quarrel. That's one of the nice things
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: about being married.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, Francie.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, darling.
• 27:49
  Speaker 7: All right. Now, you stay right here. I'm going to
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: tell them. And, Francie, I'm sorry I upset you.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, I'm not upset about that. It's just that
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: I've got the shakes.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: Why, darling, you are shaking. Well, there's nothing to be
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: afraid of there. They're just my mother and father. They'll understand.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Well, then why are you shaking?
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: Oh, sympathetic action. Now, hold your head up high and
• 28:21
  Speaker 7: then count to 100.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: What for?
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: That'll calm you down and give you courage. All right.
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: Go on, hold it up. It's up. All right, now,
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: just stay like that. I'll be right back.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: All right, one, two, three, four, five, six, Seven?
• 28:36
  Speaker 11: I wouldn't try that in a high wind. You might
• 28:38
  Speaker 11: take off.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, very funny. I bet you thought that up yourself.
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: I wonder if you could stand the shock of my
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: saying that I dislike you intensely.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: Look at me. I'm brooding. Now will you go away?
• 28:52
  Speaker 11: Not before I've had a few words with you. Peter
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: and I are planning to be married.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, is that so?
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: Not that I think knowing that would make any difference
• 29:00
  Speaker 11: to you.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Well, no.
• 29:02
  Speaker 11: You see, Peter needs protection against a certain type of woman.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Well, I could work on that.
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: Are you going to mind your own business, or must
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: I really give you a piece of my mind?
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, I couldn't take the last piece. You, you little... Now, now,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: what are you going to do that for? I only
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: have to hit you right back. You contemptible little blonde.
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: Who do you think you are hitting me?
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Ow!
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Now keep quiet. You can't do that to me. Well,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: how dare you? Listen, listen, I don't want to fight. Well,
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: Take that.
• 29:28
  Speaker 14: All right.
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Put them out.
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: I'll tear your eyes out.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: You want to fight, huh? You want to fight.
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: I'll show you, you cheap little glutton.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I'll tear your hair off.
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: Oh.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: Dad.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: You've got to come outside with me.
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: What is this, Peter?
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: Well, it's somebody. I want you to meet it. It's
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: a surprise, Dad. I've sent Keith for Mother. I want
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: you both to be right there.
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: Well, it better be good.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: Oh, Dad, this is good. Right out here.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, kick me in the face, will you?
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: Francie, Helen!
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Kill her, I'll kill her! Get off my head, I'll
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: tell you when! Francie!
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: Well, it is good, Peter, but don't you think it's
• 30:03
  Speaker 9: a little rough?
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: Francie, Helen, stop! Francie, this is my father!
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: He fouled me with a pin! Francie, here I am, here. Oh, Peter.
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: Listen, I'm running to a class.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Are you all right?
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: Did Helen hurt you much?
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: No, not much, but I was so frightened last night
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: when I saw your father, I just ran.
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: Oh, I worried about you all night. You know, for
• 30:28
  Speaker 7: a man of Dad's intelligence, he was pretty primitive about
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: the whole thing. He insisted on remaining upset. So I
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: just didn't tell him anything.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: I hope I haven't ruined everything for you.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Oh, now try not to worry too much about it.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: Just remember, bad beginning, good finish.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Well, I must be due for a load of happiness.
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: Oh, sure, darling, both of us.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll run along. Oh, Keith said, will you hurry
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: up and settle everything so he could have his apartment back?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: He stayed over at the dorms last night and he
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: says the beds are lumpy.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, we've been posing Keith long enough. Uh, look, uh,
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: you get yourself an apartment over at the Martha Gregory and, uh,
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: I'll see you later.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: All right, Keith.
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, Professor Morgan.
• 31:03
  Speaker 15: Who's that?
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: It's one of my students. Careful, careful. Uh, yes, Miss Wright.
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: I just wanted to tell you I finished that paper.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Would you like to read it, Professor?
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: I'll see you in class, Miss Wright.
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: Okie dokie.
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: Uh, Miss Brent, if you have any further questions, I'll
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: be glad to answer them later.
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: Good morning, Professor.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Professor.
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: He's cute, isn't he?
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Woo-woo!
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: Woo-woo!
• 31:31
  Speaker 15: Martha Gregory Apartments. I'll see if she's in.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Evening. Just a moment, sir.
• 31:37
  Speaker 15: Where do you think you're going?
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: Upstairs, Miss Francie Brent.
• 31:39
  Speaker 15: I beg your pardon, but this hotel is for ladies exclusively.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: I know. That's why I sent her here.
• 31:44
  Speaker 15: I'm sorry, but you'll have to remain in the lobby.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Look, I'm her botany professor. See? Books.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Books.
• 31:49
  Speaker 15: Read the sign, please. During evening hours, gentlemen will visit
• 31:52
  Speaker 15: guests only in the lobby. Absolutely no exceptions.
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: All right. Will you call her up and tell her
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: I'm down here?
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, I will.
• 31:59
  Speaker 7: Thanks. I suppose it's all right with you if we
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: go out for a ride in my car?
• 32:03
  Speaker 12: Oh, yes, sir.
• 32:03
  Speaker 15: I recommend River Road, sir.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: It's a very quiet thing. Oh, shut up.
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: Josh, Francine. Do you realize this is the first time
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: we've been alone since we were married?
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, darling. When I'm alone with you, I get the
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: same sensation I got when I rode on a roller
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: coaster for the first time.
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: Sinking or up in the clouds?
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Way up in the clouds.
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: Oh, Francie, I love you so much.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: And I love you. Oh, it's funny. We have to
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: go and park somewhere to say that.
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah. Anybody think I wasn't your husband? Including me.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: If ever a girl fell unmarried, I'd do. Peter... You
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: think your father might be cooled off enough now so
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: that we could tell him?
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: Hot or cool, we're going to tell him tonight. He's
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: over at the university now. He's got to make a
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: speech tonight.
• 32:51
  Speaker 13: Well, I'd better wait outside. It's just my luck to
• 32:53
  Speaker 13: sneeze and kill his point.
• 32:55
  Speaker 9: Okay, okay.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Turn on those lights.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: What?
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: Peter, it's a cop.
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: Evening, folks.
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: Nice evening, isn't it? Uh, yes. Yeah. Officer, we were studying.
• 33:08
  Speaker 14: Yeah?
• 33:09
  Speaker 7: Studying what?
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Botany. I'm in his class.
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: Yes, class 207.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 33:14
  Speaker 13: You see, you see, I'm a backward student, and he's
• 33:18
  Speaker 13: been coaching me. I'll prove it to you. I'll show
• 33:21
  Speaker 13: you the book.
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: Uh-huh.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Well, this is a new wrinkle. All the comforts are home.
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: Now, now, wait a minute, officer. Just a second.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, Peter. Peter, we can tell him.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: Officer, I haven't been able to tell this to anybody
• 33:34
  Speaker 7: else before, but I'm going to tell you. We're married.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: What? Yes. We're married.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: Now I've heard everything.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Get out of here before I run you in.
• 33:53
  Speaker 9: And all for what? For nothing. For applause. What is
• 33:57
  Speaker 9: applause to him or he to applause that he should
• 34:00
  Speaker 9: weep for him?
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: Dad, will you sit down for a minute?
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: Now, now, Peter, I've got to rehearse my speech.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: But I have something I want to tell you.
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: Mr. Noble is endowing us with a new library. I
• 34:08
  Speaker 9: want you to be there, Peter.
• 34:09
  Speaker 7: Well, it just happens that this is much more important
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: to me than Mr.
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: Noble.
• 34:12
  Speaker 17: At the moment, your problems are secondary.
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: What is he to applause or applause to him?
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: Dad, do you know that girl that you think is
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: Keith's girl? What is he to applause or applause?
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: Well, she isn't.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: She is my wife. What is he to applause.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: What?
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: What was that you said?
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: I said that that girl is my wife. And, Dad,
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: I might add that she's the finest wife any man
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: could ever hope to have. Peter.
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: Are you mad?
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: I think I am, sir, and I hope it's a
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: permanent condition. I won't allow you to toss your life away. Well,
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: it's my life, and I wish you'd let me do
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: with it as I please. After all, it's a courtesy
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: you must concede to any ordinary human being.
• 34:46
  Speaker 17: Aren't you confusing courtesy and license?
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Now, just a minute, Dad.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Father, Father, are you all right? What happened?
• 34:52
  Speaker 9: I'm all right. It's this boy.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was so frightened.
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: Father, I'm glad you're here.
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: You be quiet. You know your mother has a weak heart.
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: Quiet? I've been quiet long enough.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, my heart.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: There, she's fainted. Go get some water. Mother, I'm sorry.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: Father.
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: Are you all right, dear?
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: I'm all right.
• 35:09
  Speaker 9: Here, give it to me. You'll kill your mother.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: Dad, this is something.
• 35:12
  Speaker 13: Quiet.
• 35:13
  Speaker 17: Until we can discuss this further, I wish you wouldn't
• 35:15
  Speaker 17: say anything about it to her.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: All right, Dad.
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: Okay. So, you see, Francie, I couldn't say a word. Oh,
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: I see. We've always had to be very careful, Mother.
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: We never could do anything unexpected. Not that marrying a
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: woman is unexpected, but.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry about you, Mother Peter.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: Really, I am.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: But why should I be a shark?
• 35:45
  Speaker 7: Oh, you wouldn't be, darling.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Well, can't you break it to her gently?
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: Oh, I tried, but Dad was yelling, so I... Francie,
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: I'm awfully sorry.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: So am I, Peter. Well, here's my prism.
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: The Martha Gregory. Why did I ever think of this
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: as a solution?
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: Peter, listen. Ever since I came here, I've been ducking corners,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: sneaking around, hiding places. And if loving you means ducking
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: and sneaking somewhere, I'm willing to do it.
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: I don't want you to do it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: But it just seems that even that isn't enough. Don't
• 36:23

  Speaker 4: The Curtain.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: The curtain rises on the third act of Vivacious Lady.
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: Locked out from his lawful wife by the rules of
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: the Martha Gregory apartment, Peter decides to go upstairs anyway,
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: via the fire escape. He's just outside Francie's partly open window...
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: And he hears her talking on the phone.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Hello. Did you get that ticket? Yes. Yes, the one
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: I am for New York. And please send somebody up
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: for my bags. I'm leaving. Thank you.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, Peter.
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: Francie, I know you ought to be angry with me
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: and leave, but please don't go.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not angry, but I.
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: Well, you ought to be. I know that if you
• 40:08
  Speaker 7: were me and I were you, I'd be angry and
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: leave you, but don't leave me.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Oh, darling, please don't. It's darn difficult as it is.
• 40:16
  Speaker 13: Now, go on back down the fire escape before somebody
• 40:18
  Speaker 13: finds out you're here.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: France, if you don't stop this, I'm going right out
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: in the hall and yell at the top of my
• 40:21
  Speaker 7: lungs and let everybody know I'm here. I've got a
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: right to be here. Now, come on. Let's talk this
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: thing over.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. I've made up my mind.
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: But what about our mind? We're not supposed to have
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: separate minds.
• 40:32
  Speaker 13: Darling, I married you and I was so proud. And
• 40:36
  Speaker 13: I'm still proud of it. But I wanted you to
• 40:38
  Speaker 13: be proud of me, too. Well, don't you see?
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: It's not working out. Why don't you let me go
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: for a while anyway? It's all my fault.
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, no, it isn't.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: I started off on the wrong foot. So far, I
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: have a perfect score for hurting everyone.
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: Well, if you go, I'm going with you.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: No.
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: I think too much of a mother to do that,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: even if you don't think enough of her not to. See?
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: There I go, hurting you again.
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: Oh, it's all right.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Peter, I wish we hadn't started out like this. It
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: has done so quickly.
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: Well, I'd do it again.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: I guess I would, too. And even then, I'd have
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: to do what I'm doing now. Don't you see?
• 41:15
  Speaker 13: It can't work out as long as I stay and
• 41:18
  Speaker 13: explode a bomb every time I make a move. So
• 41:21
  Speaker 13: I'll go, and then maybe things can straighten themselves out,
• 41:24
  Speaker 13: and then maybe... Well, oh, Peter, do I make any sense?
• 41:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, unfortunately, I guess you do. Just the same I'm
• 41:32
  Speaker 7: going to tell Mother. I'm going to tell her tonight.
• 41:34
  Speaker 7: I'll break it gently. She's got to know sometime.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, goodbye, darling. I've got to pack.
• 41:40
  Speaker 7: Uh, Francie, couldn't I just Sit down and watch you
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: while you leave. I promise I won't say anything or argue.
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: I'll just sit here.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: All right. Darling, please give me goodbye. We try to
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: be alone and can't. Now that we are alone, we
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: have to say goodbye.
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: But do we have to, darling?
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: You know we do.
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: Goodbye, darling. Will you write me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Every day.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Please make it twice a day.
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: Three times a day.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: What will you say?
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll say, dear Francie... No, no, no.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Make it stronger.
• 42:26
  Speaker 7: Francie, darling.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, dear?
• 42:29
  Speaker 7: Francie, darling, I'm miserable without you.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Three times a day?
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: Three times a day.
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: Goodbye, darling.
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: Goodbye.
• 42:39
  Speaker 16: Oh, darling.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: I can't go. Don't let me go, Peter. Don't let
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: me go.
• 42:46
  Speaker 7: Now you're talking sense.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Who's there? The clerk.
• 42:50
  Speaker 15: I got your tickets for New York.
• 42:51
  Speaker 9: Your train leaves.
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: In 15 minutes. Well, never mind.
• 42:53
  Speaker 7: She's not going. You can take those tickets back.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Peter. Who's that in there with you?
• 42:56
  Speaker 7: What have I done?
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: Who is it?
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Francie.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, go out the window, quick. I'll see you tomorrow.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: Open this door.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Goodbye, darling.
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: Goodbye.
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: Goodbye.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Miss Brent, you know this is against the rules.
• 43:07
  Speaker 17: Open the door.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Where is he? Where is he? What he? What do
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: you mean, he?
• 43:16
  Speaker 15: Why, what's the matter with you?
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: I have a cold and it makes me hoarse.
• 43:20
  Speaker 15: Oh, oh. Well, now you take some hot tea, lemon, molasses,
• 43:23
  Speaker 15: honey and butter and put them all together.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: And it spells mother. Now get out of here.
• 43:26
  Speaker 13: Well.
• 43:28
  Speaker 16: Mrs.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: Morgan. Yes, Gertrude?
• 43:34
  Speaker 8: There's a Miss Brent to see you, Mrs. Morgan.
• 43:36
  Speaker 13: Miss Brent.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: Ask her to come in.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: This way, please.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Good morning.
• 43:42
  Speaker 9: Good morning.
• 43:43
  Speaker 15: Won't you sit down?
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Mrs.
• 43:45
  Speaker 14: Morgan.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Peter told me he was going to speak to you
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: last night.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, then you know. Oh, Mother, I'm so glad.
• 43:53
  Speaker 13: We've been so worried about telling you, and I was
• 43:56
  Speaker 13: so scared I'd lose him. I know it sounds silly
• 43:58
  Speaker 13: to fall in love with somebody so quickly, but I
• 44:00
  Speaker 13: just took one look at him, and I said, oh,
• 44:02
  Speaker 13: I said, that's the man. He's wonderful and intelligent, too.
• 44:06
  Speaker 13: I think that's why I married him.
• 44:09
  Speaker 16: You married him?
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: Well, yes. Didn't Peter tell you?
• 44:15
  Speaker 16: I haven't seen Peter since yesterday morning.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, Mrs.
• 44:20
  Speaker 17: Morgan.
• 44:20
  Speaker 16: I think I'd better sit down.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, Mrs. Morgan, I wouldn't have done this to you
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: for the world. Oh, you're hot. Would you like a
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: glass of water? I mean, do you feel all right?
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: You know, I think I'm going to feel fine.
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: May I have a cigarette?
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, but you're hot.
• 44:35
  Speaker 14: Oh, nonsense.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: Peter told me you had heart trouble.
• 44:39
  Speaker 16: Oh, well, maybe I do have heart trouble when it's convenient.
• 44:42
  Speaker 16: Whenever my husband raises his voice, it saves so much
• 44:45
  Speaker 16: wear and tear.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Morning, Aunt Martha. I just came in to... Oh, excuse me.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: I'm late for school.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Come back, Keith. It's all right, Keith. Mrs. Morgan knows everything.
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah? How do you feel, Auntie?
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: I feel wonderful.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: Fancy, dear.
• 45:03

  Speaker 4: Sure.

  Speaker 2: Oh, it must be delightful.
• 45:29
  Speaker 6: I'd get anything to do the La Conga just once.
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: Uh, Francie, why don't you show Auntie how it goes?
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, I couldn't, Keith. Would you, dear?
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: Sure she would. I'll give her the piano. Go ahead, Francie.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Well, well, the first step is you take two steps
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: to the left, then you kick your foot out, and then.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: And then you go, uh.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Uh, that's right. It's a... Well, you see, it's a bump.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: A bump?
• 45:53
  Speaker 9: Oh, how nice!
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: One, two, three. Is that it?
• 45:58
  Speaker 14: That's it.
• 45:58
  Speaker 9: All together now.
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: One, two, three.
• 46:00
  Speaker 15: One, two, three.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: Three, uh. One, two, three, uh. One, two, three, uh.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: You're doing strange.
• 46:14
  Speaker 9: Why, it's fun.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: One, two, three, uh.
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: I had a girl. What's a girl? Oh, mother. Mother,
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: it's Mr.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: Morgan.
• 46:24
  Speaker 16: One, two.
• 46:25
  Speaker 14: Oh, my heart.
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: My heart. The stranger turned his face to the wall
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: and died.
• 46:32
  Speaker 17: Well, just one surprise after another, isn't it?
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Mr. Morgan, there'll be no more surprises. You came in
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: just as we were celebrating Mother knowing about Peter and me.
• 46:40
  Speaker 17: Mother, how very domestic. I think you'd better sit down,
• 46:44
  Speaker 17: my dear. You look like a very practical young lady.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm practical enough to see that you don't approve
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: of me.
• 46:49
  Speaker 9: Did you expect to be approved of?
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Why shouldn't I be approved of?
• 46:52
  Speaker 9: Well, a girl from a nightclub... Oh, Peter, you're impossibly narrow.
• 46:55
  Speaker 9: I ask you not to interrupt. Tell me, why did
• 46:57
  Speaker 9: you marry my son?
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: I love him, and I want to be his wife.
• 47:01
  Speaker 17: Miss Brent, do you know what it means to be
• 47:02
  Speaker 17: the wife of a university professor?
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: No, but I'm getting an idea.
• 47:05
  Speaker 17: Then you must realize your talents run under different directs.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: Mr. Morgan, you don't know anything about me.
• 47:10
  Speaker 17: I know my son met you in a dance hall,
• 47:12
  Speaker 17: and before he had time to catch his breath, well,
• 47:14
  Speaker 17: to put it so you'll understand it, you hooked him.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, I hooked him.
• 47:19
  Speaker 13: I hooked him for that very desirable but very underpaid
• 47:22
  Speaker 13: job of his, also his social positions.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: I can't remember which. That's what you mean, isn't it? Exactly.
• 47:26
  Speaker 19: Exactly.
• 47:27
  Speaker 17: In marrying you, Peter is throwing away everything he's worked for,
• 47:29
  Speaker 17: and in the end, you'll be as unhappy as he'll be.
• 47:32
  Speaker 17: The simplest solution of an unfortunate situation like this is.
• 47:35
  Speaker 9: A quiet divorce.
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Morgan, you're not grading papers or dismissing classes. He's my husband.
• 47:39
  Speaker 9: Very well.
• 47:39
  Speaker 17: If you insist on being unreasonable, I shall be obliged
• 47:42
  Speaker 17: to ask Peter for his resignation.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, no. No, you can't do that.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: Peter, you.
• 47:46
  Speaker 9: That's enough, Martha. Come along now. I must be off
• 47:48
  Speaker 9: to the university. Come on.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 47:50
  Speaker 9: Come on.
• 47:50
  Speaker 15: Come here.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Go there.
• 47:52
  Speaker 16: Thirty years I've had of it. All for old Sharon,
• 47:54
  Speaker 16: for Alma Mater. Laugh when you want to cry, and
• 47:57
  Speaker 16: if you want to laugh, don't laugh too loudly. Alma mater,
• 48:00
  Speaker 16: your sons and daughters are true blue, and we love
• 48:03
  Speaker 16: you through and through. Even though you break my son's heart,
• 48:07
  Speaker 16: I'm still supposed to love you through and through. Well,
• 48:09
  Speaker 16: you can have your alma mater, and here is one
• 48:11
  Speaker 16: of her daughters that isn't true blue and won't love her.
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: Through and through anymore.
• 48:15
  Speaker 9: Are you coming, my dear? Coming?
• 48:17
  Speaker 15: I'm going.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: And I'm going too, Mr.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: Morgan.
• 48:19
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: Now, class, we come to leptosporangiate. Lepto, delicate, spora, seed, angiate, case,

  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 48:35
  Speaker 8: I still don't understand. In ferns, which matures first, the
• 48:38
  Speaker 8: male or the female?
• 48:39
  Speaker 9: Excuse me? Excuse me? Hey, Pete.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: Keith, what are you doing here in this condition? Drowning
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: your sorrow.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: Listen, this is my class.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: Yes? Will you get out of here, Dad, showing Mr.
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: Noble around the school with his million dollars?
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: He'll be here any minute.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: Professor! Yes?
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: What's the idea, Keith? This is the first time you've ever.
• 48:57
  Speaker 7: Done this to me.
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: This is the first time your wife's ever left you.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: What did you say?
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: I said, which matures first, the male or the female?
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: I said your wife's leaving you on the four o'clock train.
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: Just a minute. But she can't.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: She is, and your mother's going with her.
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: Let's get out of here.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: I've got to talk to you.
• 49:10
  Speaker 7: Professor!
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: What?
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: What?
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: Come on, come on, Keith.
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: Come on down to that locker room. I've got another
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: bottle there.
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: Well, which is it, Professor? The male or the female?
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: I'll answer your question just as soon as I return. Culpepper,
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: take this class.
• 49:19
  Speaker 14: Okay.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: My own wife. I'll go after it's what I'll do.
• 49:29
  Speaker 9: You hear?
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: I'll go after it.
• 49:30
  Speaker 10: My boy, don't toss away everything you work for on
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: a girl who'll only succeed in blackening the good name
• 49:36
  Speaker 10: of Morgan.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: Blackening the good name of Morgan? Well, that's fine.
• 49:39
  Speaker 12: As if I couldn't blacken my own name. When I
• 49:41
  Speaker 12: get through, he'll think Francie's too good for me.
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: Take it easy. Take it easy. I'll disgrace myself. That's
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: what I'll do. Oh, Peter, we're pals, aren't we?
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'd do anything for you. You'd do anything
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 49:53
  Speaker 7: Wouldn't you?
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. As long as it doesn't take after 4 o'clock.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: All right. Then do me a little favor, will you?
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: Divorce Francie so she can marry me. Now, what do
• 50:03
  Speaker 4: you say?
• 50:03
  Speaker 14: No.
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: Absolutely no. Answer? No. Mr.
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: Morgan.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: What?
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: Morgan, your father's in class. He's got a man with him. Oh,
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: that's Mr.
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: Noble.
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: He wants to know where you are.
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: Will you tell him I shall be there directly?
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. Are you going to class like this?
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: Give me some more of that stuff. I'm going to
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: blacken up.
• 50:27
  Speaker 12: Well, class, come to order. Class is now open to discussion.
• 50:33
  Speaker 12: Are there any questions?
• 50:34
  Speaker 8: Professor.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, my dear. Now, what would you like to know, hmm?
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: In turn, which matures first, the male or the female?
• 50:41
  Speaker 4: What difference does it make, silly? Are there any more
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: silly questions? Oh, now, come, come, come, come. Now, you
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: all must have just oodles and oodles of questions that
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: need answering. I know I have. I know Culpepper has.
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: Haven't you, Culpepper, hmm?
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Now, come on.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: Speak up, man. Speak up. Come on. Well, yes, I have. Say,
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: you come from Texas, don't you? Yes, I do. Bless her.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: Bless her.
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: Yippee! Yippee!
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: That's dismissed.
• 51:10
  Speaker 9: Peter. Peter, I want to see you at once.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: What are you trying to do? I, sir, am a blackguard.
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: How am I doing?
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: In front of your class.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: It's unpardonable.
• 51:23
  Speaker 9: What explanation can we make of it?
• 51:25
  Speaker 12: Well, sir, I thought that if I could do a
• 51:26
  Speaker 12: good job of blackening the good old Morgan name, she
• 51:29
  Speaker 12: might fit right in.
• 51:30
  Speaker 9: So that's it, is it?
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: Yes, that is it, sir.
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: Which convinces me all the more that you don't know
• 51:34
  Speaker 9: what's good for you.
• 51:34
  Speaker 4: Well, that one of us must be wrong.
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: While you're a member of my faculty, you must do
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: as I say.
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: All right, then. Consider me no longer a member of
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: your faculty.
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: Oh, now, now, Peter, you don't have to resign.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: Ah! Ah, a surprise, huh?
• 51:47
  Speaker 12: A surprise that any morgue would place anything above the
• 51:51
  Speaker 12: universe is not there.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: You listen to me. I love it here.
• 51:53
  Speaker 12: There's nothing in this whole world I would rather be
• 51:56
  Speaker 12: than be a professor right here, except a good husband
• 51:58
  Speaker 12: to my wife.
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: What time is it? Oh, whoa. It's four o'clock and
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: I've missed that train.
• 52:04
  Speaker 9: I won't let you go, Peter. You're not responsible for
• 52:06
  Speaker 9: what you're saying.
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: I have no time to talk. I have to catch
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: the train because she's on.
• 52:10
  Speaker 9: Well, why do you care?
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, and Mother is on it, too.
• 52:13
  Speaker 9: What?
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: We.
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: Peter! Oh, I'm dizzy. But, Peter, you... Peter!
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: Will you have another sandwich, Mother? Yes, dear, thank you. Oh,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: I'm as hungry as a wolf.
• 52:34
  Speaker 9: Me too.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: I guess it must be this freedom. I feel so
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: free now. Yes, doesn't one feel free? Oh, New York
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: will be so much fun.
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: So many gay places.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: We can go where we want to. And do what
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: we want to.
• 52:46
  Speaker 16: And wear what we want to without any husbands to
• 52:48
  Speaker 16: bother us.
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Mother, you don't feel good about leaving? I know I
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: don't fancy it.
• 52:58
  Speaker 4: Neither do I.
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: But what was I to do? I had to go
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: through with it. Oh, it's all my fault. You were
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: married so long, and I had to come along and
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: cause all this trouble. Oh, don't worry about me. You've
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: got troubles of your own. It doesn't matter about Peter
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: and me. I hardly know him. Oh! Oh, my goodness! Porter!
• 53:17
  Speaker 12: Porter!
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, ma'am.
• 53:18
  Speaker 9: Everything's all right.
• 53:18
  Speaker 15: What is it?
• 53:19
  Speaker 9: What happened?
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: We hit a car.
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Goodness! Anybody hurt? No, ma'am.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: Nobody was in it.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, thank heaven!
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: We'll be on our way just as soon as the
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: track is clear.
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: I'll say goodnight, Mother.
• 53:31
  Speaker 6: Come on, come on, get on the train, Dad.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: Quick, quick.
• 53:35
  Speaker 17: Peter, I still don't see the necessity of placing the
• 53:38
  Speaker 17: car across the track and having it wrecked. There must
• 53:40
  Speaker 17: be a more sane and less expensive way of stopping
• 53:42
  Speaker 17: a train.
• 53:42
  Speaker 4: All right, all right, Dad.
• 53:44
  Speaker 7: Next time your wife leaves, I'll let you figure one
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: out for yourself.
• 53:46
  Speaker 9: Porter, Porter.
• 53:47
  Speaker 7: Yes, sir? We're looking for two ladies, one older and
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: one younger. The young one's a blonde, about five.
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: Compartment C, sir.
• 53:51
  Speaker 9: And the other one?
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: Compartment D, sir.
• 53:53
  Speaker 7: So long, Dad. See you.
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: In New York.
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: Oh. Oh, excuse me. I got.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 53:59
  Speaker 7: Francis.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, Peter. How did you get here?
• 54:03
  Speaker 7: Well, you're going on a honeymoon, darling. And I couldn't
• 54:06
  Speaker 7: let you go alone. Honeymoon's kind of silly without a husband,
• 54:09
  Speaker 7: isn't it?
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, Peter.
• 54:11
  Speaker 7: Which is our compartment?
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: That one there.
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: Oh, all right.
• 54:15
  Speaker 9: Up you go.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, Peter. You're going to carry me across the threshold?
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: I'll say I am.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Come on. Oh, darling. In you go.
• 54:24
  Speaker 8: Well, a nice thing.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: Can't you knock? Oh, Francie. Oh, Peter.
• 54:40
  Speaker 7: In just a moment, Mr.
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: DeMille returns with Donna Meachie and Alice Faye for their
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: curtain call. Now, while we wait, let's listen in on
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: a conversation in an attractive tea room.
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: Young Mr.
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: Jones has taken his wife out for a celebration. There's
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: a pause in their conversation, and then Mrs. Jones suddenly says.
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: Bill, why are you looking at that woman over there?
• 54:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, nothing, dear. It was just.
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: Well, I was admiring her hands. They're quite beautiful, don't
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: you think?
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: I dare say they are. But mine would be, too,
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: if I didn't wash dishes every day for you, Bill Jones.
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: And there's where we'd like to give young Mrs. Bill
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: Jones a hint. She could get compliments, plenty of them,
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: about her hands, in spite of dishwashing. The secret is simple.
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: Change from harsh soaps to new quick luxe flakes. It's
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: a mighty inexpensive beauty precaution, and one that millions of
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: wives have learned. New quick luxe has no harmful alkali
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: to dry out your skin. It leaves hands soft, white,
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: and lovely. That's been proved. In hundreds of scientific one-hand
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: tests of five soaps widely used for dishes, Lux was mildest,
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: kindest to hands. Why not get a thrifty big box
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: of new, quick Lux? Let it do your dishes in
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: a jiffy and help you keep hands lovely, too. It's fast, thrifty,
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: and it saves you from ugly red dishpan hands.
• 56:01
  Speaker 7: Now, here's Mr.
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: DeMille with our stars.
• 56:04
  Speaker 5: We left our college professor and a certain very lovely
• 56:06
  Speaker 5: blonde behind the Thadak curtains.
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: And now, presto.
• 56:09
  Speaker 5: We've got Donna Michie and Alice Fay right here.
• 56:11
  Speaker 7: At the microphone. Thanks, C.B. Certainly great to do a
• 56:14
  Speaker 7: show here in the Lux Radio Theater with Alice Fay.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: I'll bet you tell that to all the girls, Don.
• 56:19
  Speaker 7: Now, that's gratitude for you, C.B. I say something nice,
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: what do I get?
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: Well, you see, Mr. DeMille, if you've ever worked with
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: a practical joker, you learn to be.
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: On your guard. Sounds as though you speak from experience, Alice.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's an understatement. One time after we'd been shooting
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: all day, I went over to my dressing room on
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: the set to take a little rest. Don had beaten
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: me to it. The door was gone, the curtains missing,
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: the furniture scattered from one end of the stage.
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: To the other.
• 56:42
  Speaker 5: Alice, there's an old saying in Hollywood, scratch Don Amici
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: and you'll find a cat in your arm, my kid.
• 56:47
  Speaker 13: Oh, but he's such a nice boy that you have
• 56:50
  Speaker 13: to forgive him for those things.
• 56:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll tell you how Alice forgives, C.B. The next
• 56:53
  Speaker 7: day I went to my dressing room for lunch and
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: I found the door locked, and through the window I
• 56:56
  Speaker 7: could see Alice eating the last sandwich.
• 56:59
  Speaker 5: The other cat in your arm, my kid. I'm glad
• 57:04
  Speaker 5: you two didn't tell me all these things until now.
• 57:06
  Speaker 5: I didn't know in what dangerous company I'd been all week.
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: What kind of company have you got for next week, Stevie?
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: Very distinguished company, Don.
• 57:14
  Speaker 5: Next week, our star is Ronald Coleman, making his first
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: appearance here in almost two years. And with him, we'll
• 57:21
  Speaker 5: have Otto Kruger and Francis Robinson. The play is Libel,
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: a great hit on Broadway, and one of the most
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: exciting dramas of the courtroom the stage has ever produced.
• 57:32
  Speaker 5: you'll hear Ronald Coleman as a war veteran, faced with
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: the almost impossible task of proving, against the testimony of
• 57:39
  Speaker 5: his friends and even his wife, that he is himself.
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: It's a play off the beaten track.
• 57:45
  Speaker 5: And with Ronald Coleman in the lead, one that has
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: thrills for all of us next Monday night.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I know that Ronald Coleman is a guarantee of
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: fine acting, so I'll be listening. Good night, Mr. DeMille.
• 57:56
  Speaker 15: Good night, darling.
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: So long, everybody.
• 57:58
  Speaker 7: Good night.
• 57:59
  Speaker 12: Good night.
• 58:01
  Speaker 5: We've got another play coming up with your names on it.
• 58:09
  Speaker 5: I know our audience will be pleased to learn that
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: again this year, the Lux Radio Theater has been selected
• 58:16
  Speaker 5: as the Outstanding Dramatic Program of the Year. This award
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: comes from two polls of the nation's radio editors and critics,
• 58:24
  Speaker 5: conducted annually by Motion Picture Daily and by Radio Daily.
• 58:28
  Speaker 5: So to you, our audience, whose support made these awards possible,
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: and to the radio editors who voted in both these polls,
• 58:37
  Speaker 5: I would like to express the gratitude and appreciation of
• 58:41
  Speaker 5: our clients and of all of us here in the
• 58:43
  Speaker 5: Lux Radio Theater. Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Flakes,
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: join me in inviting you to be with us again

  Speaker 5: next Monday night when the Lux Radio Theater presents Ronald Coleman...

  Speaker 4: This is Cecil B.
• 59:04
  Speaker 5: DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood.
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: Don Amici and Alice Faye will soon be seen together
• 59:17
  Speaker 3: in the 20th century Fox picture, Road to Rio. Alice
• 59:20
  Speaker 3: Faye's current picture is Tin Pan Alley, and Don Amici's
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: is Down Argentine Way, both for 20th Century Fox. The
