• 0:00
  Speaker 1: A separating Manhattan couple remain in one another's orbit when
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: custody of their dog, Mr. Smith, keeps bringing them together.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: On September 11th, 1939, Lux Radio Theater returned from its
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: summer break with episode 228, The Awful Truth, adapted from
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the 1937 Columbia Pictures film. Cary Grant reprises Jerry Warriner
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: with Claudette Colbert as Lucy, Phyllis Brooks plays Barbara Vance,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: and Lou Merrill is Oklahoma oilman Dan Leeson. As Jerry
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and Lucy move toward divorce amid mutual suspicion, new social
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: plans and their respective romantic acquaintances complicate the arrangements.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Cecil B.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: DeMille is your host for this CBS presentation with a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: radio script by Dick Stanger. Here is the original broadcast.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Lux presents Hollywood.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: The Lux Radio Theater brings you Cary Grant and Claudette
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Colbert in The Awful Truth with Phyllis Brooks. Ladies and gentlemen,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: your producer, Mr.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Cecil B. DeMille.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. With a feeling of
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: gaiety and excitement along Hollywood Boulevard tonight, lights are ablaze
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: and crowds are gathering in front of our theater. All
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: the visible signs of a Hollywood opening are here to
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: welcome the Lux Radio Theater back to the air after
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: our summer vacations. There's another scene that interests us more
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: than the bright lights on Hollywood Boulevard. A scene repeated
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: some millions of times throughout the country. It's the scene
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: in your living room, where you and your family once
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: more occupy the reserved seats, which are yours tonight and
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: every Monday night. You are the ones who've made this
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: theater possible by your purchases of Luxe flakes and Luxe
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: toilet soap. We owe you an obligation to make this
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: new year in the Luxe Radio Theater the most entertaining
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: in our history. And tonight we pay you the first
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: installment on this obligation by presenting The Awful Truth, starring
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Claudette Colbert and Cary Grant. Which reminds me that we
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: still owe an obligation to Miss Colbert. Whenever she's done
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: a comedy for us in the past, Claudette has always
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: said that next time she'd like to do a serious drama.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: And we've solemnly promised that she could. And we'd keep
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: that promise if she'd give us the chance. But we're
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: continually finding comedies that she insists on doing. And I'm
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: not a man with either the courage or the inclination
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: to refuse Claudette anything. At lunch not long ago, we
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: talked about plans for the coming season in the Lux
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: Radio Theater. The moment I mentioned the awful truth, I
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: noticed a hungry gleam in Claudette's eyes. But quickly explained,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: of course, that wouldn't interest you.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It's a comedy. I was wrong again.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Before we came to dessert, Claudette was asking for the script.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: The memorable performance of Cary Grant as Jerry... in the
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: film produced by Columbia Pictures Corporation, instantly suggested him for
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: the same role in our radio adaptation, that he was
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: easier to cast than to find. In fact, Cary Grant
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: is probably one of the hardest men in Hollywood to find.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Our intelligence service, however, tracked him to the beach, where
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: he'd gone swimming with Phyllis Brooks. That gave us another idea,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: and we signed them both right there, dripping wet. And so,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, the very pleasant truth is that we're
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: ready to give you the awful truth. as we raise
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: the curtain on a new season in the Lux Radio Theater,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: an act one of our play, starring Cary Grant as
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Jerry and Claudette Colbert as Lucy, with Phyllis Brooks as Barbara.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: The sunlamp room of a midtown Manhattan athletic club. Hank,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the attendant, is piling towels on a shelf as a
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: young man in gym trunks makes a hurried entrance. He's
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Jerry Warriner, a tall young man, well-built and healthy. But
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: just now, there's a sharp contrast between his decided pallor
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: and the two dark, magnificent circles.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Under his eyes.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: With a quick movement, he bounces up on the table
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: and stretches out luxuriously.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: All right, Hank, my man, turn on that sun lamp.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Give her all she's got. Well, about 15 minutes on
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: each side is all I'd recommend, Mr. Warner. Oh, no,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: 15 minutes, nothing. I'd better get a deep Florida tan
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: if it takes all afternoon. Give it the juice. Well, okay. Attaboy.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: All aboard for Miami, Palm Beach, and Point South. Hiya, Jerry. Oh, hello, Frank.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I heard you were in here. Thought maybe you'd like
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to play a little squash. Sorry, Frank, no time.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Say, you're awfully white-skinned for a guy who just spent
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: two weeks in Florida.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: No, that's just what I thought. What did you do
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: down there? Carry a parasol? Or didn't you go? Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Don't let any idea like that get around. Uh-huh. I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: get it. Pulling a fast one on the little wife, huh? Oh, now, look, Frank.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I'm surprised at you. I'm supposed to have been in Florida. Now,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: suppose one of Lucy's friends says, why isn't he tanned? Well,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Lucy's going to be embarrassed. Well, I'm going to be tanned.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Lucy's not going to be embarrassed. And what wives don't
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: know won't hurt them. What was it? A poker trip? Sure.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: A fellow's got to bust out once in a while.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Assert his independence. Boy, did I assert it. Ah, you
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: certainly look it. But I bet you wouldn't like Lucy
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to pull a stunt like that on you. Why not?
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: After all, a person doesn't have to stop being an.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Individual just because she gets married. Maybe. Anyhow, how about
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: coming over to my house for breakfast? We were all
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: out late last night and some of the gang is
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: stopping by. I got a better idea. Everybody come to
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: my place. Lucy will fix up breakfast for us and
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: maybe later we can sneak away and play some golf.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: What do you say? I'm convinced. I'll see you later. Okay,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: ladies and gents, come on in. The joint is yours.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Jerry, that's Sunburn.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You're positively vermilion.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Wait till Lucy sees what Florida did for you. Yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: where is she? Hey, Lucy!
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Lucy!
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Surprise! Well, well, hello, old.
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: Dog of mine.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: How you been? Hey, where's Mama? Where is she?
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: Welcome back, Mr.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Warner. Oh, hello, Celeste. Will you tell Mrs. Warner I'm here?
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, sir. Mrs. Warner's not at home.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Not home? Where'd she go?
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: I don't know, sir.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, when did she leave?
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure, sir. I think last night.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: You mean she hasn't been... Oh, well, okay, never mind.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: What's the matter, Jerry? No welcoming arms to greet you
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: this trip? Mind your own business, will you?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Come to think of it, she probably ran up to
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: her Aunt Patsy's cabin in the mountains. She always does it.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: She gets lonely.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: Suppose her Aunt Patsy wasn't home?
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, I get it. I'm up to my neck in
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: funny people, huh? No, no, seriously. I wish Lucy would
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: go out and get some fun for herself now and then.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Do her good. That's the trouble with marriage.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: People are always imagining things, and the next thing you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: they end up in a divorce court.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Ah, the broad-minded man from Miami. Yeah, yeah.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Well, if you think you're going to get a chance
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: to prove my broad-mindedness, you're crazy. She's up in Aunt
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Patsy's cabin, and I'll bet on it. Saying, is that
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: a spot, Frank? Why, the fish just... Up at Aunt
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Patsy's cabin, eh?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Well, there's Patsy now. Some fun, eh? Oh, shut up. Hey,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: turn that radio off, will you? Well, uh, hello, Patsy.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: How did you get here?
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: By invitation. Lucy invited me yesterday on the phone. Say,
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: what is this? Lucy invites me? No, Lucy. Where is she?
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I... Hello, hello, hello. Lucy.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Hey, Lucy.
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: Hello, Jerry, darling.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, darling. Gee, it's good to see you.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's grand. You're looking marvelous, Jerry. Yeah? Oh, oh,
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: I nearly forgot, Armand. Armand, come on in and meet everybody.
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: Armand's the best music teacher a woman ever had, aren't you, Armand?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Thank you, my dear.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: You know Armand Leval, Jerry, of course.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. How are you? How do you do?
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Everybody else, this is Armand.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: How do you do?
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: How do you do?
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: How are you?
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: Well, now that we're all introduced, I can relax. Oh,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Armand and I have had the most terrible time.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Yes. Well, I imagine you must have. Where was the recital?
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, now, silly, what do you mean?
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't know they had recitals in the morning
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: and the people went to them in evening clothes.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: That's formal, isn't it?
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Well, Almar does look silly in tales at this time
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: of the day, doesn't he? Oh, it was such an
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: awful time.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, why?
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Somebody sing off pitch?
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, now, stop it, darling. You don't know what happened.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: Almar's car broke down a million miles from nowhere. He
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: had to park me at a farmhouse and hike to
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: the nearest town to get them to tow the car.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: And then he had to stay there, hang around garages
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: and things to pick me up in the morning and
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: bring me home. It was dreadful. We were coming home
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: from a party.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: You were the loveliest human being there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, thank you, Elmore. You say the nicest things.
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: Well, Jerry, you understand.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Don't you?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. Mr. Werner, you have
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: the continental mind. Oh, sure. That's it. I've got a
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: continental mind now. Oh, Lucy, dear.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: So sorry, but I have to run. That horrible dressmaker
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: of mine.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course, darling. You know too, Lucy. I'm sorry.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, wait a minute.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: What's the matter? The party hasn't even started yet. Oh, sure, sure.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: We know. But you probably want to talk to Lucy. Oh,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: come on, people. I'll give you all a hand. Okay, Frank.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: We'll see you. Goodbye, Jerry.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Bye.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Bye.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Well, Mr.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Louvel, why didn't you let Frank give you a hitch?
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: I wanted to explain. You see, Mr.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Warner, the next time I take your wife out, I hope...
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I hope you buy a new car, else alone you're mine.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Are you hungry? Oh, thanks.
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: Well, yes, I am.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Well, why don't you run out and get a bite?
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: A big, strong fellow like you should take care of himself,
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: sitting in drafty.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Garages all night. Mr. Warner, what have I done? That's
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: what I'm going to find out.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, now, Jerry.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: We'll discuss this in private, please. That is, if Mr.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Louvel can remember where we keep our door.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Very well. Perhaps it's best this way, Lucy.
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Will I see you soon? Of course.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Anne.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's all been so perfect, Lucy. Thank you for everything. And, Mr. Warner,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: I think you must be out of your continental mind.
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: You know, that was pretty funny at that. I mean,
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: what he just said.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, very funny. Brush me off, will you? Well, he's gone.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: You can speak freely, darling.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Well, Lucy... What have you got to say for yourself? Oh,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: that's so smart.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Well, I knew you'd say that, and I'm prepared to answer.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: Armand was invited to the party by a young man
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: whose sister is a pupil of Armand. Armand invited me
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: to go along. I went because I could think of
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: nothing better to do. Believe it or not, I was lonely.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, and then the car broke down.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Yes, and then I stayed at the farmhouse. I slept
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: badly because of insufficient blankets. Twice during the night, I coughed.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Now, let me see.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: Was there anything else?
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Now, look, Lucy. This situation isn't amusing, although you seem
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: to think it is.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: If you had sense enough to see it, you'd know
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: that our marriage is teetering on the edge of a cliff.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Well, you're trying to be funny. But perhaps marriage doesn't
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: mean anything to you. Perhaps you've no sentiment left for me.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Look at this on the table. A letter I wrote
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you from Florida, and you didn't even open it.
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: It's enough to destroy one's faith, isn't it?
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: Oh, I haven't any faith left in anyone.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Not even in that conscientious soul at Miami Beach who
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: followed your direction so nicely and mailed me a letter
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: every day?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Huh? What on earth are you talking about? Oh, darling.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: You look so cute and pleased with your little athletic
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: club sunburst. Rather like a small boy who's just had
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: his curls cut off. Well, I don't like to be unpleasant, Jerry,
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: but you are not in Florida.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Now, don't change the subject.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: You weren't in Florida and you weren't in Montreal that
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: time you said you were going there. Once you even
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: had the letters mailed from the wrong place.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Huh?
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: That, dear Lucy, Charleston is such a quaint city. The
• 11:35
  Speaker 5: quaint thing about Charleston is Charleston's postmark is Perth Amboy,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: New Jersey. Nice trick your friend played on you.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Now, now, wait a minute.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Don't try to justify your behavior by insinuating things about me.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: What? But I haven't any behavior to justify. I've just
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: been unlucky, that's all. You came home and caught me
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: in the truth. It seems there's nothing less logical than
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: the truth.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: A philosopher.
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: You don't believe me?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: How can I believe you?
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, listen, Jerry. Now, don't you see that there can't
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: be any doubt in marriage? The whole thing is built
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: on faith and... If you've lost that, you've lost everything.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Yes, I suppose when that's gone, the marriage is washed up,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: isn't it?
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: Do you mean that?
• 12:15
  Speaker 7: Sure.
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess that settles it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: I guess it does. Let me tell you something.
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: Oh, let me tell you something. I wouldn't go on
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: living with you if you were dipped in platinum. So
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: go on.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, go on.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Divorce me. It'll be a pleasure.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Divorce you? Are you crazy?
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: Do you think I want people to think you prefer
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: that music lover to me?
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Well, then I'll divorce you. It's customary anyway. I think
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: it has something to do with the husband being a gentleman.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Never mind the gentleman stuff. Just get going on it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Go on.
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: I'll call the lawyer right now.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: By the way, what's the most convenient day for you
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: to be divorced?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: In the case of Warner v.
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: Warner, the court grants an interlocutor decree of divorce to
• 13:03
  Speaker 9: the plaintiff, Lucy Warner. The divorce, if not further contested,
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: will become final in 90 days from this date.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: That will be all. One moment, Your Honor. There's one
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: matter still unsettled. According to my client, Mr. Warner, it's
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: a matter of... Mr. Smith.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, Your Honor.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: Smith.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: And who is Mr. Smith? Mr. Smith is... He's their dog.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: No, no.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Mr. Smith is my dog.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: He's mine.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: Silence. But Mr. Smith belongs to me and she's got him.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: I told you to keep quiet.
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: But.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, ignore him, Your Honor. I told you he was
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: impossible to get along with.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, well. Let's hear it. The animal at present is
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: in Mrs. Warner's possession.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Warner wishes to have him because... Because he's mine.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: He is not.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: He is not.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Silence. Silence.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: Is not.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: This seems to be a custody case.
• 13:48
  Speaker 9: And in custody cases, we frequently permit the final decision
• 13:50
  Speaker 9: to rest with the, uh, the dog.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Ah, ah, well, now we're getting somewhere. Now let Mr.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Smith decide whom he wants to live with. Silence, please.
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: Oh, Bailiff, have the dog brought in? The custody of
• 14:02
  Speaker 9: the dog will depend on his own desires. And let
• 14:05
  Speaker 9: me warn you, neither of you must use any false
• 14:08
  Speaker 9: means of influencing the animal's decision.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Unpass him the dog, please. Now. You may each call
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: the dog. Come on!
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: You know who's good to you, don't you?
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: Mrs.
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: Smith came to me, Your Honor.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Custody of the dog is awarded to Mrs. Warriner. Wait
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: a minute! Well, that wasn't fair, Judge. Silence. The court
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: is adjourned.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: Good day, Your Honor.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, you, you, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Come
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: back here, you.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: You mean me?
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: What's Mr. Smith doing with that rubber bone in his mouth?
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Well, it always was his favorite bone.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Where did he get it?
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: How would I know?
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, you.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: You'd stoop to anything. You hid that bone under your
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: handbag and Mr. Smith smelled it. You're not going to
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: get him away from me like that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: Get him? I've got him, darling. Goodbye.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Rain, rain, rain.
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: Look at that rain. Oh, why, Aunt Patsy? Is it
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: doing anything besides falling? I don't think so. Nothing unusual
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: ever happens around here. If I'd known we were going
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: to be buried side by side, I'd never have considered
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: to take an apartment with you. Yes, but I needed you,
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Aunt Patsy. You know the period of readjustment that comes
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: in the wake of a divorce. Readjustment, my foot. Just
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: another word for moping around. Oh, don't be silly. Oh, why,
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: you know dozens of men who turn handsprings at the
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: chance to take you out. But no, you'd rather sit
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: around and readjust yourself. No, you're just an old grouch,
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: that's all.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Well, this is one old grouch who wants to go
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: somewhere where there's life. And I don't mean plant life. Well,
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: we can't go out without escorts, so that's that. Well,
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: I don't need an escort to go down to the lobby.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: I'm going down to the newsstand and see Joe. He
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: may be funny-looking, but he's a man, and maybe he
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: knocks off early. Oh, Aunt Patsy, you wouldn't. Oh, I wouldn't, eh?
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: You're talking to a desperate.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Woman. Hey, Mr. Wainwright.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Well, I guess I've read pretty nearly everything here, Joe.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Too bad, ma'am.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Isn't it? I'm so bored. Too bad they stopped printing
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: zippy stories.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am. That's what my wife says. Oh.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: She does, I think.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, pardon me, but did that copy come in of
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: the Tulsa, Oklahoma bugle? Sorry, Mr. Leeson. I guess maybe
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: there's something wrong with the mail. Oh, that's too bad.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: Looks like I won't find out how we did at
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: the Rodeo.
• 16:36
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: How do, ma'am?
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Oh, how do you do?
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: I hope you don't think I'm fresh. My name's Dan Leeson,
• 16:43
  Speaker 7: room 1214. Ma, and I see you coming in and
• 16:46
  Speaker 7: going out sometimes. Oh, we've noticed you, too.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: You did? Mm-hmm. Well, say, who is that beautiful girl
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: who's with you sometimes? She has a dog, and, well,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: she's beautiful.
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, that's my niece, Lucy. She's just a little homebody.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: No.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Say, I wonder if you'd do me a favor.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: Why, of course I would, Mr. Leeson. What is it?
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: Well, you see, I'm a stranger in town, and I
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: thought that perhaps I'd.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Go down there.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Here we are. Go right in, Mr. Leeson.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Oh, thanks.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: You know, I think it's just wonderful that we met
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: this way. Oh, Lucy, Lucy, may I present Mr. Leeson. Mr. Leeson,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: this is my niece who was so anxious to meet.
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: Her name is Lucy Warriner.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: How do you do? Oh, how do you do, ma'am?
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: Mr. Leeson's from Oklahoma, Lucy, and he'd take it as
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: being right neighborly of us if we'd show him some
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: of the bright spots. Well, it's framing rather hard. Mr.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Leeson lives right across the hall with his mother. Isn't
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: that what you said, with your mother?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: Yep, with Ma. We're here on a visit. I'm in oil,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, marinated, so to speak.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Say, that's a good one. I must remember to tell
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: that to Ma.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sure she'd adore that. Well, tell us all
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: about Oklahoma, Mr. Leeson.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Well, we all think Oklahoma, well, it's pretty darn swell.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Oh, there's the door. I'll get it. Yes, Mr. Leeson?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Well... Like I was saying, ma'am, Oklahoma is pretty darned. Why, Jimmy.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, dear.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Well, how's the old girl?
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Well, never better. Won't you come in?
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I fully intend to.
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: Well, well.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Hello, Lucy. Hello.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: What do you want?
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Well, now, read this little legal document. I guess that'll
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: explain better than I could.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: What?
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: What is this?
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: It's a writ. That's what it is.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: A writ.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: The court just ruled that I'm permitted to see Mr.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: Smith for two hours a week. I am permitted to
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: take Mr. Smith walking, riding, motorplay... No, motorboating or aquaplaning.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: No, not aquaplaning. That's too dangerous, isn't it?
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Well, the order reads that I can visit with him
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: and entertain him in any form or manner that does
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: not endanger life or limb.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: And that would rule out aquaplaning.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: I suppose you've come to take him bicycling.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: What, in this weather? Are you crazy? Why, he catches
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: death of cold. No, I've come to entertain him in
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: any form or manner. Hey, Smitty, where are you?
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: I'll get him.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, Miss Warner, perhaps I've been.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry, Mr.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Leeson.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: This is my husband.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, oh.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: Well, he's only my husband for.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: How much longer is it? Oh, 60 days.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, 59.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: Well, how are you, Mr.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Leeson? Howdy. I'm glad to know you. Excuse me, what
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: did you say? I said I'm glad to know you. Oh,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: how can you be glad to know me?
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: I know how I'd feel if I was sitting with
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: a girl and her husband walked in.
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: I'll bet you do.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: What's that supposed to mean, huh? Nothing, nothing.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Why don't you go and play with the dog?
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Sure, where is he? Hey, Mr. Smith! Where are you, fella?
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, see you.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: See you, old fella. It's good to see you.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Look what I brought you.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Your old leather strap.
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: Come on.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: You were telling us about Oklahoma, Mr. Lincoln.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: Well, I'm really a man of many interests out there, Mrs.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Warner.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Oil is my main business, of course. I can't complain
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: about that. It's treated me fine. And I have a
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: big ranch that's more of a hobby than any.
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, the lamp, Jerry. You broke the lamp. Oh, it's nothing.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: I'll get you a new one.
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: Oh, don't bother.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: It's only in the limport.
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: Like I was saying, Mrs. Warner, this ranch is just
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: outside of Tulsa. I have just about everything.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: Good heavens.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Jerry, do you have to play that game?
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Any other ones?
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: Get his rubber bone for him. He loves that bone.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes. I remember. Where is it?
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: In the closet, right there.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Huh? Here?
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: I can't find it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, but just keep looking.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Hey, hey, what is this? Lock the door on me.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, Patsy, what are you doing?
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: Mr.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: Deer, why don't you run along with Mr.
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: Leeson?
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: Patsy, Patsy, let me out of here.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I'm locked in. Say, is anything wrong?
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: Oh, no. That's just a game Mr. Walden up has
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: with the dog.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, oh, oh. Mr.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: Deer, I want to get out of here. Oh, Lord. Well,
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: come on, Mr.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: Leeson.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Let's go. Oh, I swear.
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: Good night, Aunt Patsy. I hope you know what you're doing.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: Good night, dear.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Night.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Night.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I'll break the door down if you don't let me
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: out of here. Just a minute.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: Just a minute. Come on out, dear.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Framed. That's what I am. Framed.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: You're trying to cook up something between my wife and
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: that Buffalo Bill, aren't you?
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: Your wife?
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: She's still my wife for 60 days.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: 59.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: All right, 59, but she's still my wife. Do you understand?
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: And what are you going to do about it?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: You'll find out what I'm going to do. Stick around
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: and watch. I've got some rights around here.
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: To entertain Mr. Smith in any form or manner.
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, shut up.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, shut up.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: While we are waiting for Jerry to make good on
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: those threats, we take a brief intermission from our play
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: to hear from Mr.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Rueck.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, in our intermission before Act II of
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: The Awful Truth, starring Claudette Colbert, Terry.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Grant, with Phyllis Brooks, we bring you a musical interview.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Three charming young ladies will sing a song suggesting something
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: about our product, Lux Toilet Soap.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Well, Sally, what is your song going to be?
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Sweet Sue, Mr.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Rueck.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: Shall we sing it?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, please.
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: Every star above knows the one I love. Seems to
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: just you. And the moon on high knows the reason
• 22:34
  Speaker 11: why it's you. No one but you.
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: No one else has ever.
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: Shared my dream. Without you, dear, I don't know what
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: I'd do. In this heart of mine, you live.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: All the time.
• 22:54
  Speaker 11: Sweet Sue, just you.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Mmm, a sweet song. And you chose it because... Well, Mr.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: Rui, because we think one of the nicest things about
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Lux Toilet Soap is the way it leaves you feeling
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: so sweet.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: So Sweet Sue reminds you of a Lux girl. Mmm,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: that's nice.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: And it's true that Luxe toilet soap leaves you feeling
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: sweet and dainty. That's why it's such a delightful bath soap. Really,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: a fragrant Luxe toilet soap bath is the most refreshing
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: experience you can have when you're tired and feeling sort of, well, uncharming.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Its rich, creamy, active lather just floats away. Perspiration and
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: dust and dirt leaves you utterly dainty. And when you
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: consider how little Luxe toilet soap costs, only a few pennies,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: why every member of.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: The family can share the luxury of this kind of bath.
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: You know, it's because so many millions of cakes of
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Lux Toilet Soap are sold that it can cost so little.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: So everybody, fathers, mothers, youngsters, babies, can have its gentle care.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Remember that it's gentle, it cleanses beautifully, it leaves you
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: dainty and sweet and charming to other people, as you
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: always want to be. Buy three cakes at a time
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: so that Lux Toilet Soap will always be at hand.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Our producer, Mr. DeMille.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: Act II of The Awful Truth, starring Claudette Colbert as Lucy,
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Cary Grant as Jerry, with Phyllis Brooks as Barbara. It's morning,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: a few weeks after Jerry's hectic visit. Across the breakfast
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: table in their lonely apartment, Aunt Patsy is looking at
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: her niece with an expression of growing horror.
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: What did you say, Lucy? I said, of course I
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: like Dan Leeson. Why shouldn't I? He's sweet and thoughtful.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: And you should be the last one to object. You
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: introduced him to me. Only because he was a man
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: who could take us out. I didn't expect you to
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: get silly about him. Was it silly to like a
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: man who's sane and considerate? I was married to one
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: of those gay romantic types, and one's enough. Your toast
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: is burning. Lucy, do you know what rebound is? That
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: business of trying to get over one love affair by
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: bouncing into love with somebody else? Then it's fine. Except
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: the rebound is rarely the real thing. There's the first bounce,
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: the second bounce. And, well, look at me. You wind
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: up like an old tennis ball. Now, look, I tell
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: you I'm serious about Dan Leeson. He's a fine person.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: I like him. I like him very much. I'm all
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: through with Jerry. He doesn't mean a thing to me.
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: I don't love him. What's more, I probably never did.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: I guess that surprises you, doesn't it? I hate Jerry
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Warner and I like Dan Leeson very, very much. I
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: can hardly wait to see him tonight. I hope he's
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: just mad about me because I think he's the finest
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: man I ever met. Lucy. I know, my toasty.
• 25:48
  Speaker 12: Oh, Mr.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Goodness, Mr. Warner.
• 25:54
  Speaker 13: I think it's simply wonderful of you to come here
• 25:56
  Speaker 13: just to hear me sing.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, sure, sure.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: Mr. Warner, you're awful.
• 26:01
  Speaker 13: Sweet and all that, but you always seem to have
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: your mind on something else.
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: Or maybe it's someone else.
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: Am I right, sugar pie?
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm in love with love.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: In the spring, a young man's fancy likely turns to
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: what he's been.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Thinking about all winter. Say, uh, how long have you
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: been talking like Amos and Andy? Oh, for a long time.
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: It helps me in my work. Well, shut my mouth.
• 26:27
  Speaker 13: Who's that dogged-looking creature just coming in?
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, where? Oh, my, my.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Well, you've heard that gag that's flying around town. Who
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: was that lady I saw you with?
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: You mean that's no lady. That's your wife?
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: That's my wife.
• 26:40
  Speaker 14: I guess this is our table over here, Lucy.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Sit down.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Come on over and meet her. Well, well, well. Hello, folks.
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, hello.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Uh, uh, this is, uh, Miss Dixie Belle Lee. This
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: is Mrs. Warriner, and this is Mr. Leeson. The gentleman, Mrs. Warriner,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: is going to marry. That's right.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: I'm mighty proud to meet you all.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: Now, now, you're sure we're not intruding, huh? Well, what
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: do you mean? Well, wouldn't you like to buy us
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: a drink? Oh, oh, why, why, yes, of course. Well,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: sit down. Oh, thank you. Ah, well, my, my, my,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: isn't this cozy, huh? Mm-hmm. So you two are going
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: to be married, huh? Oh, I was glad when I
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: heard that. Yes, I said to myself.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: That Leeson's just the man for Lucy, and then I
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: said to myself.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: He's always talking to himself.
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: Yes.
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: This is a charming place, don't you think, Mr.
• 27:33
  Speaker 13: Dixie Belle Lee.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: Do you like it, honey? I'm so glad, because I
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: kind of feel like the place is mine. Oh, you
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: come here often? Well, I work here. Didn't you all
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: know that? No, no.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Say, you're from the South, aren't you?
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: Now, isn't he just the cleverest?
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: How'd you ever guess that, Mr.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Mayor? Oh, I don't know. It was just a shot
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: in the dark.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: Shot in the dark?
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Well, you see, Dixie Belle Lee isn't her real name.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: No?
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, no. She changed it because her family objected
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: to her going into show business. Isn't that right, Dixie?
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 28:06
  Speaker 13: Well, I guess I'd better go now and get ready.
• 28:08
  Speaker 13: You reckon you all can stay to see my aunt?
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: Of course we'll stay.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: Well, nothing could drag us away.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: Well, I'll see you later, honey child.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I'll be here.
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: She seems like a lovely girl.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Ah, she is, Lucy. But wait till she sings. A
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: golden throat, that's what. I keep coming here all the
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: time just to listen to her.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: How faithful of you.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Does she really sing awful good?
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Well, no, I don't.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: Think her singing's up to lucid, no. I think she
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: has a sort of an elfin charm, a je ne
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: sais quoi, if you know what I mean.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: And I don't... Dan, dear. I don't... Don't you think
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: you ought to ask Jerry about it now?
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, sure. Uh-huh, uh-huh. About what?
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: About our mine, Jerry.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: What mine?
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: Our mine. You know, our coal mine. It's our last try, Jerry. And, well,
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: I was telling Mr. Leeson how badly it was doing, and...
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: He thought maybe he could do better with it.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: That's right. I'd like to gamble on it, Mr.
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: Warner.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty lucky. Do you know what they call me
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: out west? I can guess. Well, how about us having
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: a conference at my apartment tomorrow? Well, I don't know.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: I'll have to think about it.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: And now, ladies and gentlemen, it is with great pleasure
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: that I present that great little artist, Miss Dixie Bell Lee.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Thank you. Here she comes, isn't she pretty? She sure is.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: The costume's a little short, isn't it? I mean, unless
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: she does a tank act.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Uh-uh. Shh, Listen to this.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: Listen to this.
• 29:37
  Speaker 13: I got an invitation for Mrs.
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: Hutton. Yippee! Is that what you mean by Elton John?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Say, she'd go great in Oklahoma, wouldn't she?
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: Come on.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Swing it, miss. Yippee!
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: I don't feel well. Yippee!
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Why, what's the trouble, Lucy?
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: Dan, I think you'd better take me home.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: But, Lucy, we can't walk out in the middle of
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Miss Lee singing. Don't you like her, Lucy?
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, I love her, yes.
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: I can see now it was easier for her to
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: change her name.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: Than for her whole family to change theirs. Come on, Dan.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Well, all right, if you want, Lucy. Don't forget tomorrow
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: afternoon at my apartment, Mr. Warner. About that mine.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: I'll be there, big boy.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Sit down, Warner. I want to hear all about these mines. Well,
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I've got all the records and history with me. Oh,
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: by the way, Lucy, I searched all over for the
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: report McCall made before we bought it, but I couldn't
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: find it. You must have it.
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: Well, perhaps I have.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Well, when you get a chance, take a look through
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: your stocking drawer with you. You know, Dan, she always
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: hides important things in the top drawer of her dresser.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: She does? Oh, sure, sure. It's an old habit of hers.
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Every legal paper we ever had smelled of sachet. Even
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: our marriage certificate.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: About the mine, Mary.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes, yes, the mine, uh-huh.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Good afternoon.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on in, Ma. Come on in. Oh, hello, Mrs.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Wheaton.
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Good afternoon, Lucy.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: I guess you don't know this fella here, Ma. He's
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: Jerry Warner, Ma.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Well, it's very funny seeing you here, Mr.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Warner. Is it? Well, it's funny seeing you.
• 31:14
  Speaker 15: I met some people today and they spoke about you
• 31:16
  Speaker 15: and about Lucy, too. They knew you both before the divorce.
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: I imagine you're one of the dozens of people who did.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: They spoke very well of you, Mr.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Warriner.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: They said you were a real gentleman.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: No kidding. Got any gum? No.
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: They talked about Lucy, too. Well, isn't it nice not
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: to be forgotten by your old friends?
• 31:36
  Speaker 15: You know, Lucy, as many times as I've heard your
• 31:38
  Speaker 15: fine singing, I never realized that you must have had
• 31:42
  Speaker 15: a teacher.
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: They tell me he's been teaching you for some time,
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: and he's a very romantic type. This woman I was
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: talking to told me that... Oh, well, no matter.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: What's that, Mom? Now, now, now, look at this map, Leeson,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: about this new opening in the northern side of the mine.
• 31:59
  Speaker 10: Now, Lucy.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Here, now, let me show you the prospectus.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Jerry, I think I ought to tell you that nobody's
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: listening to you.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Huh? Huh? What do you mean?
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Now, what could possibly be more interesting than the Warriner mine?
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: The Warriner divorce. The gal's name meets clearing, partner.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's ridiculous.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: Is it really?
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Certainly, Mrs. Leeson, and so are you. No, no, Dan, relax, relax.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: No fisticuffs. I'll explain. Mrs.
• 32:21
  Speaker 14: Leeson, our divorce was one of those tragedies you read
• 32:24
  Speaker 14: about in the newspapers. Yes, a trusting woman and a
• 32:28
  Speaker 14: worthless man. Lucy's above suspicion, Mrs. Leeson, always has been.
• 32:32
  Speaker 14: She's as pure as the driven snow, as faithful as
• 32:35
  Speaker 14: she is fair. I tell you, something wonderful went out
• 32:39
  Speaker 14: of my life when I lost her.
• 32:40
  Speaker 10: Yep.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: I know just how you feel, Mr.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Warner.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: How do you know?
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: How can you know.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: How I feel to have used up the best years
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: of a woman's life?
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, folks, that's the way it goes. Excuse me, Mrs. Neeson,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: you're sitting on my prospectus.
• 32:57
  Speaker 10: Oh!
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Sorry.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll be going now. Take good care of her, Dan,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: won't you? I'm sure you'll be happy out where the
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: West begins. All three of you. Maybe you'll succeed, Dan,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: where I failed. Goodbye now. Well, Ma, are you convinced
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: about everything?
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: What about the music teacher? Oh, now, look, you two.
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: Why don't you go back to your room and settle
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: things for yourselves? And let me know how it all
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: comes out.
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you.
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: Put a light in the window if it's yes and
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: two if it's no.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: But, Lucy, we.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: And if you can't make up your mind, just pull
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: down the shade. All I want to know is, what
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: has Armand Laval got to do with all this? Why
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: is he coming here? Because I sent for him. You
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: said that. I still say, why? He ruined your last
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: happy home to bust the Oklahoma deal wide open. That's
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: just it. There isn't going to be any Oklahoma deal. Hmm?
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: I'm not going to marry Dan Leeson. Why not? Oh.
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: Because I'm still in love with that crazy lunatic.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: There's nothing I can do about it.
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: What's the matter with you? I'm a gibbering idiot.
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: I'm a mad woman. Oh, now, Patsy, stop this. Answer
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: the door, will you?
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: Oh, good evening, Mr.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: LaValle. Good evening.
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: I'll not come in.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: How are you, my dear Lucy? I got your call.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Yes, look, I'll not. Sit down, will you? It's about Jerry. Ah, yes,
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: your husband.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: He's a very funny man, yes? Yes, he is.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: But I'm convinced he still cares about me or he
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: wouldn't do the funny things he does.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Yes. But he doesn't care much about me.
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: No, he doesn't. No. And that's just what I'm getting at, Armand.
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: You know that everything was all right that night. I
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: want you to convince him that everything was just as
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: we said it was.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: I'd be glad to.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: Does he carry a gun? Now, you're not afraid of him.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Oh, of course not. No. But you know her better.
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: Then you'll do it as soon as possible, won't you?
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: He mustn't know that I've had anything.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: To do with it. Very well.
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: As soon as possible? Open up, Mr.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: Smith.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: It's Jerry.
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, but this is much too soon.
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: Oh, of course it is.
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: We'll do something.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: What shall I do? Open up.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: Well, you can't stand there. Go in the other room.
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: And hurry and don't come out.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: I don't care for this.
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: Well, neither do I.
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: Let him in, Aunt Patsy.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, Lord.
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: You said it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Ah, greetings, Patsy. Oh. Hello. Oh, hello, Lucy.
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: Hello.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: Hello.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: What's the matter? I, uh, nothing.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Well, I, uh, I guess you two want to be alone. No, no, no, no, Patsy.
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: I whipped up a little omelet from the kitchen. No.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: Ah, smart girl you are, Patsy. I, matter of fact, dear,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I did want to be alone.
• 35:48
  Speaker 5: You did?
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, Lucy, let's get right down to it. I've
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: been a sap.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: Have you? Yeah.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I want to apologize.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: I know that chump Lubell couldn't have meant anything to you, but, well,
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: guys like him just make me murderous.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: I just want to... Oh. Oh, well, I just want
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: to say I'm sorry for everything, dear. Oh, Jerry. Oh, look, Jerry.
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: Let's meet later and talk it all over, shall we?
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: Yes, that's wonderful. Here's your hat. Goodbye, dear.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but, but... I'll call you.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: Goodbye. Oh.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Trying to get rid of me?
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: Oh, no, of course not.
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: Why should I try to get rid of you? Here's
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: your hat.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: My hat? Well, that isn't my hat.
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: Oh, no.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Look at the thing. It comes down on my ears.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: Look at that.
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: Oh, isn't that funny?
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: Did you get a haircut, maybe?
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Well, not since I came in. Now, now, now, now,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: look at that thing. Doesn't that look funny to you?
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: It's holiday, look.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Yes, I know.
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: It's just a little roomy, but maybe they're wearing them
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: that way this year.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't think so. I'm not.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'll talk to the bell. All right. Why am
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: I always answering doorbells?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, look, Lucy, if you've got company... No, no,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: it's nobody.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: It's just Dan Leeson, probably.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Leeson, oh. Well, I don't want him to see me here.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I've caused you enough trouble. I've just stuck in the
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: other room.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: No!
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: No, Jerry!
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: No, no, Lucy, I'm going to be happy. I'll wait
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: in there till they're gone.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, but, Jerry, you.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: Oh!
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Hello, Miss Adams.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's Mr. Leeson and his mother, Lucy.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, hello, Lucy.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Lucy, dear, I've come to tell you something. Oh, hello.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: We've come to tell you, Lucy.
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: Well, what have you come to tell me? I want
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: to apologize for those awful things I accused you of
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: this morning, Lucy.
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 37:34
  Speaker 11: Well, go on.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: I think somebody's cleaning up in the next room. Lucy,
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: I don't want you to be angry with me for
• 37:44
  Speaker 10: repeating what that awful woman said about your divorce.
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: Oh, no, of course I'm not angry.
• 37:48
  Speaker 10: What nonsense!
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: What is that?
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's nothing. But.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: But... Oh!
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: Oh! Oh!
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: Oh!
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Oh!
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: Oh!
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: Oh! Oh! Oh!
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Don't forget to touch second, boys!
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: Who was that?
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: Was that Mr.
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: Warner?
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: Yes, he just dropped in.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: And out. Dan, I think we'd better go. Two men
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: hiding in the other room.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Well, all I gotta say is, a man's best friend
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: is his mother. Mrs. Warner, I certainly learned about women
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: from you. Come on, Ma.
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, wait a minute.
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: You can't fire us, we quit.
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: Oh, Lucy, don't.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Don't cry, dear. He believed it. He thought Elmo was hiding.
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: In that room.
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: Sure. So did his mother.
• 38:48
  Speaker 8: I'm talking about Jerry.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, Jerry. It's getting hard to keep track. What's the
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: matter with Jerry? We read this in the newspaper.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: Oh, I could die.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Okay. Jerry Waterner is being seen these days with Barbara Vance,
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: the madcap actress. We wonder if there'll be wedding bells
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: when Jerry's divorce becomes final in two weeks. Two weeks?
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: He's going to steal him from me. It's big of me.
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: She's not married to him yet. No. No, she won't be.
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: He said he'd stick to me for better or worse.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: And if he knows what's good for him, he'd better.
• 39:25
  Speaker 12: The curtain.
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Falls on Act Two of The Awful Truth. And I
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: assure you, a great surprise is in store for Jerry
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: Warriner in Act Three. But before the curtain goes up,
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: There's a word or two of wisdom, I believe, for
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: the ladies. In the very brief moment before Cary Grant,
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Claudette Colbert, and Phyllis Brooks return, I would like to
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: make this observation about our product, Lux Toilet Soap. Everyone
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: knows that nine out of ten screen stars use Lux
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Toilet Soap. And we're very proud of this fact, because
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: it certainly is significant that such an overwhelming majority of
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: these charming women, whose very livelihood depends to such an
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: extent upon their appearance, have come to look upon Lux
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: Toilet Soap as such a trusted aid in the task
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: of keeping themselves ever beautiful. But another fact, which is
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: just as important and just as significant, is that lovely girls,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: young women and older women in every village and town
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: throughout this broad land also look upon Lux Toilet Soap
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: as a trusted aid in the very important feminine job
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: of keeping beautiful. Screen stars must have lovely skin because
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: they're screen stars, of course. But for another reason also.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: These famous beauties have close-ups to face off the screen, too.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: They know that for every woman who wants to win
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: romance and hold it, lovely skin is important. And that's
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: why they are really glad to be able to pass
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: on to other women the happy experience they've had with
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: Luxe Toilet Soap. Here's what Betty Davis says. I use
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Luxe Toilet Soap regularly, as other Hollywood screen stars do.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Why don't you use this fragrant white soap? So I'm
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: going to ask every woman in our audience if she
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: won't go to the store tomorrow and buy at least
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: three cakes of Luxe toilet soap and use this fine, white,
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: gentle soap with active lather faithfully. And it is my
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: honest belief that if you do this, when the three
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: cakes have gone, you will be just as enthusiastic over
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: Luxe toilet soap as the screen stars. We pause now
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: for station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. Carrie Grant,
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Claudette Colbert, and Phyllis Brooks proceed with Act Three of
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: The Awful Truth. Two weeks have gone by, and the
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: divorce is almost final. Determined to block Jerry's impending marriage
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: to the society heiress, Lucy has tricked her way into
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: his apartment. Just inside the door, she stands facing him,
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: smiling coyly.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: Hello, Jerry.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Well, now that you're in, what's the nature of this visit?
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: Well, I just thought that you know what today is,
• 42:29
  Speaker 5: don't you?
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Certainly.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: Our divorce becomes final tonight at 12 o'clock, and tomorrow
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: we'll both be back in circulation.
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: That's right. I just thought I'd drop up to wish
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: you a lot of luck.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's very nice of you, but I'm just on
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: my way out.
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: Where to?
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: Well, as you must know, I'm on my way out
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: to a pre-engagement dinner for me and Barbara at the Fancy's.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, Jerry, you can't.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Who says so?
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: You can't because you love me. The things you believe
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: me guilty of couldn't cause aggravation and heartache unless you
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: love me.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Of course, I loved you.
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: I said love, not love. Oh, you're so stubborn, Jerry.
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: You're throwing away our happiness.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Barbara's a fine girl. We'll get along swell together.
• 43:06
  Speaker 8: But that isn't necessarily happiness, Jerry.
• 43:08
  Speaker 5: Look, you and I fight and we disagree on every
• 43:11
  Speaker 5: subject under the sun. But we were happy. It's no
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: fun for me to come here practically crawling to you, Jerry.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: But our marriage is worth it. I'd do anything to
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: make you understand that you and I belong together. Tomorrow
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: will be too late, dear. Once you're free, the banters
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: will officially announce your engagement, and you won't be able
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: to jilt a girl whose jilting would be news for
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: every newspaper in the world. You'll be caught by circumstances.
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: You'll be lost, Jerry.
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: I'm very contentedly, too.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, no.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: You'll be miserable.
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, you dope. Why can't you understand? I'll take it.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, you won't.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: I've got it. Hello? Hello. Oh, hello. Who is this,
• 43:49
  Speaker 5: may I ask?
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Give me that phone.
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: Jerry, I think it's... Hello.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: You have to answer my telephone.
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: I only said hello.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Hello. Shut up now. Give it to me.
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: Hello. Tell her to call you back. Yes.
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Hello. Hello? Oh, hello, darling.
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: Well, it took you long enough. Have you made up
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: your mind who the woman is?
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's funny. I knew you were going to ask
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: me that.
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: Uh-huh. So did I. Who was she?
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Well, it's really very simple, dear. That was my sister.
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, really? Your sister. Now, how are you ever going
• 44:21
  Speaker 5: to get out of that?
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't know Oh, sure, sure. She just got back
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: from Paris. Dropped in to see me, you know, and... Oh,
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: that's lovely.
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: I'd love to meet your sister, Jerry.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Why don't you bring her along tonight? Oh, no, no.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think she can come over this evening. She
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: has a previous engagement. Oh, I'm sorry. Well, naturally it is.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: She's very anxious to meet you, but.
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: Oh, yes, tell her I'd love to meet her. Tell
• 44:40
  Speaker 5: her to wear a boxing glove.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: Keep quiet. Now, look, Barbara. Look, Barbara. She said if
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: she possibly could, she'd break her engagement and come over later. Yes,
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: but I doubt that very much.
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, I doubt it, too. Well, if she can, she can,
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: of course.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: That's right, dear. But I'll do my best to fix
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: it up so the two of you will meet very soon. Goodbye. Goodbye, dear.
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: Hurry over.
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: I will.
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: Now I'm in a fine fix. She wants to meet
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: my sister. Well? You're a big help.
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: Well, you know me. Anything I can do?
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, to break it up?
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: I see what you mean.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm in a fine mess.
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: No, I'm sorry, Jerry.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Really, I am. Yeah, sure.
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: But I wouldn't worry about it, dear. She trusts you,
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: doesn't she?
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Of course she does.
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: Hello? Hello. Oh, I did it again.
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: Give me that thing.
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: Listen, you don't have to take that from anybody.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Quiet.
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: You don't have to take that from anybody. Put your
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: foot down.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: But, darling, I told you she couldn't make it.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: There's no reason for her to call you up every
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: five minutes, is there? No, no, no.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: Look, dear, there's no reason for you to call me
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: up every five minutes, is there?
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: Jerry.
• 45:42
  Speaker 4: Goodbye! Well, well.
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, keep quiet. Sit down, my boy, sit down. Thanks, Mrs. Vance.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: It's too bad your sister couldn't come tonight, Jerry.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes. Well, she was terribly sorry, Mrs.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: Vance.
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: You see, she didn't weather the boat trip very well.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, when I left, she was
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: calling the doctor.
• 46:06
  Speaker 8: You can imagine my surprise when I heard a woman's
• 46:08
  Speaker 8: voice down the phone.
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: You can't blame me for being suspicious, Jerry, darling.
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Certainly. I mean, of course not.
• 46:14
  Speaker 5: I was thinking, dear.
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: Mother, don't you think it would be nice if I
• 46:17
  Speaker 8: asked Jerry's sister to be a bridesmaid?
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, lovely.
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: Well, I think she's sailing back to Paris almost immediately.
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: She said she'd do her best to see you before
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: she goes, though. Oh, you'd like my sister, Barbara. She's
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: very much your type.
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: Where did she go to school?
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: Uh, excuse me, what did you say?
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: I said, where did she go to school?
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: In, in, um, Switzerland.
• 46:35
  Speaker 10: Oh.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: And you say your father was a Princeton man? Yes,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: that's right, sir. Class of 92. He tells some very
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: funny stories about the place in those days.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: He tells one in particular about a football game.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: It seems Yale was playing Princeton one day. I beg
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: your pardon, Mrs. Zantz.
• 46:49
  Speaker 12: Yes, Edward?
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: Mr. Jerry's sister has arrived.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: What?
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Miss Lulu Warriner.
• 46:54
  Speaker 14: Hello.
• 46:55
  Speaker 8: Well, I made it, Jerry.
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: Are you surprised?
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, you maniac.
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: What did you say, dear?
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, I just asked how you were feeling.
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm feeling fine.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Mrs. Vance, may I present my sister, Lola. How do
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: you do?
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: How do you do? Oh, it's lovely to know you, Mrs. Vancey. Vance,
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: my dear.
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, sure, I forgot. Barbara, this is Lola.
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: How do you do? How do you do? Well, you know,
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: it's nice getting a chance to meet you. I see
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: your pictures in the paper, and I wondered what you
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: really look like. I've wondered about you, too. Oh, well, thanks.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, Lola.
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: Yes, dear?
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: This is Barbara's father, Mr. Vance. Mr. Vance, my sister.
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: How do you do? How do you do?
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: What's the matter?
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: Oh, nothing, only I never would have known you from
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: Jerry's description. I think you look kind of cute. Won't
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: you sit down, Miss Waterner? Thank you. Say, did I
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: interrupt something? Go right on with your story, Jerry, honey.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, I was telling a story about my, uh...
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: About our father.
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, you were? Well, go right ahead, dear.
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: Thanks, thanks. You see, Mr. Vance, it was Yale's ball
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: on Princeton's two-yard line.
• 47:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, Mrs.
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: Vance, I don't want to appear rude, but I wonder
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: if I could have a little drinky.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: Why, certainly. Well, I had three or four before I
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: got here, but they're beginning to wear off, and you
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: know how that is.
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: Oh, well, don't look at me like that, Jerry.
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: You like a little drink yourself. You know what we
• 48:12
  Speaker 5: call him, isn't it? We call him Jerry the Nipper.
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: He likes to sneak them when nobody's looking.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, he's awful cute about it, too, yeah. I've seen
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: him go along all evening and apparently not have a
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: thing to drink and all of a sudden fall flat
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: on his puss. Edward, a glass of sherry for Miss Waterner, please. What? Sherry? Oh, no,
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: I don't like sherry.
• 48:34
  Speaker 10: Oh, Mr.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: Edwards, come here, will you? Yes, miss?
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: You know what I want, don't you? About the three fingers?
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Yes, miss.
• 48:40
  Speaker 5: Snap it up, will you? I'm sorry to interrupt you, Terry.
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: What were you saying?
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: Well, I was just telling them one of Father's stories.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: You've heard it. Oh, I have. You see, there was
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: a minute to go. Dad had the ball and... Ball?
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: What ball? What ball? The football.
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: Well, what in the world was Dad doing with a football?
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: Look, look, I was just telling a story about when
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: Father was at Princeton.
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: You remember that?
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, sure.
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: Well, because I remember.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 49:03
  Speaker 8: You know, Pop loved Princeton. Yeah, he was there nearly
• 49:06
  Speaker 8: 20 years.
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: If ever a man loved a place, he did.
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: He just adored it, and he certainly kept it looking beautiful, too.
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: You've seen the grounds, haven't you?
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: The grounds?
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: Of course.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Well, Mrs.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: Manson, afraid that my sister has a somewhat distorted sense
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: of humor.
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: So have I.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: Your drink, miss.
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, gee, thanks.
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: Now, what she really meant to say was that.
• 49:27
  Speaker 5: Oh, gosh, was that good. I was so thirsty. It
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: must have been that ham I had for dinner.
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Now, listen, you.
• 49:33
  Speaker 8: Where did you get your liquor, Mr.
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Vance?
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: It isn't too personal.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: It's imported from Paris.
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: You don't say. All the way? Oh, gee, that's pretty
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: good stuff, though. If I ever manage to get to Paris,
• 49:43
  Speaker 5: I'm going to look up the guy who sold it
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: to you. If you ever get to Paris. Didn't you
• 49:47
  Speaker 5: just come back from there? Who, me? Oh, I only
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: wish I had. Oh, I guess that's just one of
• 49:53
  Speaker 5: Jerry's stories again. You know, when Jerry and I were kids,
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: we were the worst liars in the neighborhood. We always
• 49:58
  Speaker 5: used to pretend we had rich relatives who were going
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: to leave us money. Oh, I guess it was harmless enough, though.
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: Everybody knew we were just sort of kidnight spells. Are
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: you sure everybody knew?
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: Well, sure.
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: Who would be dope enough to look at Jerry and
• 50:10
  Speaker 8: me and think we had.
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: Money or a family?
• 50:12
  Speaker 8: Oh, but you have to give Jerry credit.
• 50:16
  Speaker 5: We're proud of him, you know. He's worked himself up
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: from nothing to this. What do you mean by this,
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: Miss Warner? Well, now, you look at me. I'm different. Now,
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: it isn't money that counts with me, your position in life. No, sir. No,
• 50:30
  Speaker 5: it's art. All the time I was working at the
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: Virginia Club, I thought that I... You worked at the
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: Virginia Club? Sure.
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: Didn't Jerry tell you?
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't.
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: You're a singer, Miss Warner. That's what I do. I sing.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Well, perhaps you'd sing for us now. No, no, no.
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Some other time. You see, my.
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, now, that's the trouble with you, Jerry. You've tried
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: to keep me in the background all your life. Well,
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: of course I'll sing for you. Sure I will. Do
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: you own a piano? Right there. Well, thanks. Now, you
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: see when... Oh, wait a minute. Don't anybody leave this room.
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: I've lost my purse. Gracious. There's your purse, Miss Warner,
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: on the chair. Well, my relief.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, Mr. Edwards. Yes, miss.
• 51:08
  Speaker 5: Well, you kind of keep an eye on my purse,
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Lola, I think we'd better go now. It's getting late. Oh, no.
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: Now, not before I sing, Jerry. Oh, God. Who does
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: your tuning?
• 51:20
  Speaker 8: I'm sure I don't know.
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: Well, maybe it's just the piano. What are you going
• 51:24
  Speaker 5: to sing? Oh, it's a surprise, isn't it? But the
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: first time I sang this number, oh, I killed him.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: You know, there was a fellow there. I think he
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: was a critic. He said my voice had a... Let
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: me see. What was it?
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: Elfin charm.
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: Je ne sais quoi.
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: Do you know what I mean? Now, quiet, please. Barbara,
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid I... Quiet, mister. I got an invitation from Mrs.
• 51:50
  Speaker 3: Hutton.
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: I'm all dressed up, don't care for nothing.
• 51:52
  Speaker 12: Stop it, stop it.
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Come on, get up. You're getting out of here.
• 51:55
  Speaker 12: No, I won't stop.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: All my life you've tried to keep me in the background.
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: I said stop it. I won't stop. Oh, my finger.
• 52:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, I might be right there speaking to Mrs.
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: Hutton.
• 52:04
  Speaker 11: Good night, Mrs.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Fane.
• 52:05
  Speaker 3: Mrs.
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: Fane.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Barbara, good night.
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Just hang on, dear. Didn't wait, sweet miss.
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: Jerry. Jerry, aren't you speaking to me?
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: No.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: That's better.
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's wonderful of you to drive me up to
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: Aunt Patsy's cabin after all the trouble I've caused you.
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: Shut up. I'm handing you over to your Aunt Patsy,
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: and then I'm leaving for good.
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: I don't blame you, Jerry. I really don't, honestly. Thank you, Jerry.
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: You can leave now.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, no, no, no. I want to see you safely
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: in the doorway. You can get in your aunt's hair
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: and out of mine. Mrs. Warner.
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: Hello, Frank.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: I wasn't expecting anybody tonight.
• 53:05
  Speaker 5: Will you tell Aunt Patsy I'm here?
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Why, she ain't here, Mrs. Warner. She ain't been here
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: for weeks.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, I get it. Another one of your little tricks, huh? Well,
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: it won't work. I'm going back to town and I'm
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: going alone. Good night and good bye.
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: Good bye, Jerry.
• 53:22
  Speaker 8: Be careful driving, dear.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: Hey.
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: What's the matter?
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: Well, the keys to the car. Where are they?
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: What?
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: The keys to the car. The ignition key. Where is it?
• 53:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't know. Did you have it when you came?
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: Well, how do you think I drove here? Now, listen, Lucy.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: You took that key and I want it back.
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: I haven't got it.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: You have so got it.
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: Do you want to search me?
• 53:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: No.
• 53:44
  Speaker 5: Poor Jerry. I'm afraid you're stuck here all night, darling.
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Isn't it a shame?
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: I'm sitting here in front of the fireplace, just the
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: way it was when we came here on our honeymoon, dear.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, now, please, Lucy, the less you have to say
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: about it, the better I'll like it. Well, it won't
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: be long.
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: It's a quarter after 11. Forty-five minutes, and you'll never
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: have to listen to me again. Just 45 teeny minutes. Funny,
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: isn't it, Jerry?
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't my fault. I only... Oh, keep quiet.
• 54:25
  Speaker 5: Forty-five.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: You'll be happy, I think.
• 54:38
  Speaker 5: All this that happened tonight will be forgotten. I'll tell
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: Barbara Vance myself that it was all a joke and
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: that I want you to be very, very happy. It's
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: only 30 minutes now, Jerry. Okay.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Lucy, listen, I.
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: What?
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: Nothing. Oh.
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: She seems to be a nice girl, Jerry. I'm sure
• 54:59
  Speaker 8: she will mean more to.
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: You.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Never think about me.
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: Never let me spoil your happiness, Jerry. I'll get along
• 55:12
  Speaker 5: all right. Just be happy, darling. I'll get along all right.
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: No one will ever know that I... Oh, I shouldn't
• 55:20
  Speaker 5: say these things, should I, Jerry? I'll get along all right.
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, listen.
• 55:27
  Speaker 8: Yes?
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Listen, Lucy.
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: What?
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: Listen, it's all off.
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to go through with it.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: I don't care whether you love me or not.
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: You're married to me and you're going to stay married,
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: you hear?
• 55:34
  Speaker 5: Jerry!
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Call the caretaker. No, I'll call him myself. Frank, Frank,
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: come in here right away. Anything wrong, Paul? Now, listen, Frank,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: you're a witness. See, the divorce is on.
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: Oh, Jerry!
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Exactly 30 seconds before 12 o'clock, we called off the divorce.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: Remember that and swear to it. You betcha. All right, now, uh, uh, uh,
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: get out. You betcha.
• 55:51
  Speaker 11: Oh, Jerry.
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: Ah, Lucy.
• 55:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, Jerry, listen. 12 o'clock. Wedding bell, darling.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Every second that passes, I love you twice as much.
• 56:03
  Speaker 5: Say it, darling.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: I love you, Lucy. I love you, Jerry. I love you, Lucy.
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: With peace restored in the Warriner family, Terry Grant and
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Claudette Colbert are returning now to our microphone. In fact,
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: the whole family is here with the exception of Mr. Smith,
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: the dog.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: What happened to him?
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: Well, I suppose he lived happily ever after, too.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, I envy those dogs. No troubles, no worries. No worries?
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: You don't know my dog. He worries more than I do.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: I don't doubt it. I bet he's home worrying.
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: About this program right now.
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: By the way, CB, who does he worry about next week?
• 56:53
  Speaker 5: What play are you going to have?
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: Next Monday night, we're going to have Barbara Stanwyck, Brianna Hearn,
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: and Ida Lupino. And the play is Wuthering Heights. One
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: of the strangest love stories ever told. And certainly one
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: of the most gripping. Barbara Stamwick, Brian O'Hearn, and Ida Lupino? Say,
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: that sounds great to me. I don't think your dog
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: will have to worry about that show, Phoebe.
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: No.
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: You know, my dog's a critic, too. Every once in
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: a while, he chews up one of my favorite hats.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, chews up women's hats, huh? Well, I think he'll
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: get his slant on that. But every dog is his taste.
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: You know, I was in a picture.
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: Once with a dog that weighed 23 pounds when we
• 57:26
  Speaker 4: started shooting, and a week later, he was up to
• 57:28
  Speaker 4: 30 pounds.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: What was he eating, scenery? Oh, no, sir. The director
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: was eating that. He had to wait for the mutt
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: to reduce.
• 57:34
  Speaker 5: Oh, now, Gary, what made the poor dog so fat?
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Ice cream.
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: Every time he did a trick right, he got an
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: ice cream cone, and that.
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: Dog never missed. That was killing him with kindness. Couldn't
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: you find a better way of rewarding him?
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: Well, when we were shooting The Author Truth, Mr. Smith's
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: trainer used a mouse, a rubber mouse named Oslo that squeaked.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: If Mr. Smith performed well in a scene, he could
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: play with Oslo.
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: It worked fine, too, until he spotted a still camera
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: on the set with one of those rubber bulbs dangling alongside.
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: Mr. Smith thought it was the mouse, I suppose.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: It squeaked just as well. But you know, after that
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: dog took his first picture, he wanted a dark room
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: put right in his doghouse.
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: A very tall tale, Mr. Graham.
• 58:12
  Speaker 4: Well, it was a tall doghouse, Claudia.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Really, you could have managed it.
• 58:15
  Speaker 5: Now, Carrie, just relax. Before I go, I want to
• 58:20
  Speaker 5: say something about the product behind this program. I've used
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: Lux soap now for a good many years, and from
