  Speaker 4: of stars in this enchanting Paramount screen gift. Cary Grant,

• 1:42
  Speaker 4: starring Cary Grant as Dr. Jim Pearson, Barry Fitzgerald as Dr. McRory,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: and Pat Crowley as Trudy Mason. This is Boston, the
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: office of the Physicians and Surgeons Placement Bureau. The manager
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: is on the telephone. That's right, Dr.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Pearson. Everything's confirmed and Dr. McRory is expecting you. Fine, fine. Now,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: it's rather a small town, you know, and you'll be
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: there for two months. Splendid. Thank you, Dr. Pearson, and
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: good luck. All right, Miss Brady, send in the next one.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Good afternoon. Good afternoon. I'm Dr. McCrory from Paul Bridge.
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: We've been having some correspondence about the physician to take
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: me place.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Well, this is quite a coincidence. I've just been speaking
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: with him. Oh, have you now?
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Well, now, as I told you, I'd like a mature
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: man of substance and experience. I'd be gone for two months,
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: you understand. My first vacation in 30 years. You don't
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: have to worry, Dr.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: McRory. It's all been settled. Fine, fine. When can I
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: see him? As soon as you get back to Fall Bridge.
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: He's leaving right away. Bridge away?
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: Okay, so do you suppose for a moment that I'd
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: taste the health of the community in the hands of
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: a man I'd never set eyes on?
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: What do you suppose he came to Boston for?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: There's no need for concern, Doctor. We send out only
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: qualified physicians. Besides, your letter was a definite authorization. Uh, binding,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: you mean. Exactly. Oh, well, let's hope the man knows
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: his business. What's his name? Pearson. James Pearson. Now, if
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: you'd care to look at his... No, no, no.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: I've barely time to catch me train. Thank you for
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: your trouble.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Pearson, huh? James Pearson. Have a good vacation, Doctor.
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Yes, I will, I will. Go on fishing, you know.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Is everything all right, Dr. Pierce? Oh, yes, thanks. Everything's fine, Porter.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: Which way is the club car? I thought I smoked
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: my pipe and read the newspaper. Then you'd better smoke
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: in the men's washroom, doctor. That's all the club car
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: we've got. Oh, well, thanks. Good evening, gentlemen. I hope
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: you don't mind if I push in here. Sorry, young man.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: There doesn't seem to be any room. Oh, no. I
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: think I can squeeze in here, don't you? Now, if
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: you could just move over a little bit. No, that's
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: very nice. Thank you. What's this? What's this? Young man,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: what's this? Well, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sit
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: on your package.
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: I suppose you paid for a ticket and you're entitled
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: to sit down, but you're not entitled to sit on
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: my packages and read me newspaper.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: What, you mean this newspaper? If you don't mind. Well,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: you're welcome to any part of it, but it just
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: happens that I am the legal owner of this pillar
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: of truth. Oh, I don't know. I brought that paper
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: in the station.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Which section of it would you like? I'm offering you
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: part of my paper. You can have the back part. Here,
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: I'll let you have the front part.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Indeed. Well, I'm not thanking you because you're doing me
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: no favor. It's my... Your newspaper. Yes. And I'm giving
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: it to you.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: One of these days, young man, you'll discover that being stubborn.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Will get you very little thank... Excuse me. Now, could
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: that be your newspaper? The one you're sitting on? Huh? No.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Who put it there? Now, what were you saying about
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: being stubborn? Well, thank you to let me read the
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: newspaper in peace. Fine. You read my paper, and I'll
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: read yours. Good morning, sir. Sorry, but dining car won't
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: be open for another five minutes.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm not quite ready for me breakfast anyway.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Tell me, sir, would it be possible.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: To order while you're going and sharing? Uh, you have
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: a dish in this train that I'm very passionate to.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Broil brook trout with butter and lemon sauce.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: It'll be waiting for you, sir. Say, 15 minutes at
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: table five, brook trout. Fine, fine. Oh, it's a beautiful dish.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: A lovely, lovely dish. Anyone sitting here waiting? Table five,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: sit right down, sir. The broiled brook trout for you, sir.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Brook trout, huh? Well, that sounds pretty good. You pushing
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: the trout this morning? Oh, no, sir. This is the
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: very last order. Well, bring it in, bring it in.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Good morning, sir. This table for you. Right here, sir.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: The order's been taken. Croybrook Coke with butter and lemon sauce.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm sorry, sir. They told me number five, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: when this gentleman sat here, I... Ah, it's you again. Yeah,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I'm afraid it is. I'm also afraid I've been devouring
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: your trout. I'll take you not to talk to me.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Will you bring me another trout? I'm sorry, sir, but
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: there aren't any more. What, no more trout? No, sir.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: If you don't mind finishing this, I've really only made
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: a small dent in it. Go on, take it. Waiter,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: you may bring us some oatmeal.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: Young man, you must.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Bear me a terrible, vicious hate. For me? Oh, I
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: don't hate anyone. Well, I do.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I hate blather skates. I detest and abominate them. Praise heaven,
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: I'll soon be home and free of your unwelcome presence forever. Now,
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: is there anything else of mine.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: That you'll cover? Oh, come now, be reasonable. Ah, the
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: bag of me hands. And then, to top everything else, Mrs.
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: Gilly, that ill-bred.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Vulgar upstart eats me throat. Oh, I'm glad to be home.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Mrs.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Gilly, are you sure there's been no message from that Dr. Pearson? Dr.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: McRory, for goodness sake, I told you a dozen times, no.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: No message. Yeah, yeah, I see, I see, I see. Hey,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the door, the door, the door, Mrs. Gilly. That could
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: be Dr. Pearson now. Send him in, Mrs.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Gilly.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I'll be in the office. How do you do?
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: I'm Dr.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Pearson.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Oh, come in, Doctor. Come right in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: Are you Mrs. McCrory?
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Heaven forbid. It's not that I do as cooking and tidying.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: Is there a doctor?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: It's Dr.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Pearson.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Come on in, come on in. Bring him in. Just
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: down the hall. Well, well, well, well, this is a pleasure.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: No, it can't be. Yep. It's not possible. I can't
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: believe it. Me either.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: They tell me there's about 200,000 physicians in the country,
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: young man.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: You got me. Now, to begin with, doctor, you know, actually,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: that was my newspaper.
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: Young man, do you try to be objectionable? Do you
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: work at it?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm not trying. I can tell you this.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: If I'd seen you in Boston, I wouldn't have seen
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: you now. Here, sit down, sit down. Let me have
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: your credentials. I got them right here, doctor.
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: Hmm.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I know of no Drake Hospital in Boston. Uh, the
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Drake's not a hospital, Doctor. It's a hotel. Oh, you
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: work in a hotel. Well, how perhaps. No, no, no, no, no.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I was a house physician. For three months, it says. Tried, huh? No,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: I took a job as a ship's doctor on the
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: New York Bermuda run. Three voyages. Here, watch this. Watch
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: this here. What place is this? It's Valparaiso, Chilly. I
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: did a little hospital work down there. Again, for three months, huh?
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: Uh-huh.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: See, you did much better than Goose Neckie to Goose
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: Liver Wyoming, huh?
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: No, no, that's Goose River Wyoming, sir. Why would you?
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: You were there for an interminable period, for almost four months.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: My, my, my. I was a personal physician to a
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: wealthy rancher, but he died. Good, yes. Well, that couldn't
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: have surprised the poor man. Oh, you know, I find
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: this extremely painful.
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: I was hoping to get a good man, a man
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: who might perhaps stay on and assist me in the
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: new hospital.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: But instead I... Oh, well, I couldn't handle that anyway, Doctor.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: I'm leaving in a couple of months for Guatemala. That's fine, fine.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't think of leaving any sooner, like right now,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: for instance. Oh, now, you've got nothing to worry about.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: I'm really quite capable.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Well, listen, I wouldn't trust you with me dead dog.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: I find nothing to recommend you. Even your accent, the
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: way you speak, it's disturbing to New England ears.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm. Where did you acquire your Yankee accent, Doctor? Now,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: don't change the subject. I suppose you've got the agreement,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: the letter I signed. Well, of course. And you regard
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: it as poignant. Well, naturally. Mrs. Gidley, show this gentleman
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: to his room.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, true.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Be here, Doctor.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: She's brought her new sweater.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, my new sweater. Oh, fine, fine. Come in, Judy.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Come in.
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: Come in.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Now, take off your jacket, Doctor, and we'll try it on.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Ah, that's an elegant garment, Judy. Just elegant. And so
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: sweet of you to bring it over.
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: Well, if it fits, I'll finish it up tonight. Oh,
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: I see the new doctor's here.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Oh, I want to tell you about that young man.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: In words of one syllable, he's a complete incompetent. Really?
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: The man's not a doctor. He's a hobo.
• 10:15
  Speaker 6: Never been in.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: One place for more than three months.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: And he's arrogant about it. Sounds dreadful. You'll just have
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: to get somebody else.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: No, I can't. I made an agreement. I'm bound in honor. Besides,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: he has it in writing.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Dear, this will never do.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: No, I'm talking about the sweater. Look at it. It
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: comes halfway down to your knee.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: No, since it's just grand.
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: But it doesn't fit you at all. Why don't you
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: pay him off?
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: Well, that's my precise intention, Tootie. But if I do,
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: I can't get away for a vacation. Well, then it's
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: out of the question.
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: Oh, the sweater, it's off now.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Tears and off, that's all. It's just roomy, you know.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: I like having my sweaters roomy. May I come in?
• 10:54
  Speaker 7: Well?
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Say, Doctor, did you notice if I left my... Oh, oh, oh,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: that's nice. That, that, that thing you're wearing. Oh, that's
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: very attractive. What is it? What.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: It's very obviously a sweater. What, just one?
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: No, he's right, Dr. McRory. It's hopeless.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Miss Mason, Dr. Pearson. She's the schoolteacher. Oh, I'm delighted
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: to meet you. How do you do? I'll talk to
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: you later, Pearson.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: We're busy.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: I see. I'm being dismissed, huh? I should be brought
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: up on charges of malpractice, Miss Mason. I eat Dr.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: McRory's fish. That would be just the most enough, young man.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: You see, Judy? That's what they call doctors nowadays.
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: Excuse me.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Dr. Pearson. Yes, Miss Mason.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: May I see you alone for a moment?
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: Oh, I think that's an excellent idea.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: If, uh, if I seemed rude just now.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Well, no, not at all.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: Well, I didn't mean to be. I, uh, I understand
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: you've done a lot of traveling.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: Uh, yes, considerable.
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: Don't you think, Doctor, after all the things you've done,
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: Fallbridge is going to be very dull? It's such a
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: little town.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: You don't like me, do you?
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: Well, I hadn't thought much about it. Do most people?
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Like me? Oh, a reasonable percentage.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: It's going to get awfully cold here soon. We have
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: very severe winters here in Maine.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: There's a chill in the air right now.
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: What I mean is, well, I honestly think that Dr.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: McRory will release you if you wanted to leave.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Really? Yes. Well, now, you know, that's very nice of
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: you to take such an interest in me. Well, thank you,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Miss Mason. I'll be sure to think it over.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: I still say it's downright nonsense, Dr.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: Pearson.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: You're going away so sudden like after just two days.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Well, I did plan to stay a little longer, Mrs. Gilly,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: but I'm sure Dr. McCrory will be delighted to find
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: I'm gone.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: You're a fool.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Who are you trying to kid? The whole town will
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: be pleased. Seems the word about me has got around.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Two days. That's the shortest run I've had anywhere. Hey, incidentally,
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: are we on the wrong road? Seems to me we're
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: clear out in the country.
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I said I'd drive you to the bus depot,
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: and I will. Only first, I'm taking you to see
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: Doc McRory. And there he is, sitting beside that creek
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: over there.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Why, that old phony. I thought you said he was
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: out on an urgent pneumonia case.
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: Well, that's what he told me.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Well, how'd you know he was out here? Fission poles
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: and boots don't cure pneumonia.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: Take your time, Doctor. The bus don't leave till four o'clock.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Hey! Hey, how's Mrs. Hickey coming along, huh? Mrs. Hickey's pneumonia. Oh,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: it's much better, much better. I'm glad to hear that.
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Young man, are you spoiling on me? I just came
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: to tell you I was leaving. Oh, I should know. Well, well, well.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: What do you mean it's not for a couple of weeks?
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: The next bus. Pearson, I'm an honest man. I'll not
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: pretend I'm going to miss you. But it would be
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: greatly obliged if you'd stay on for a fortnight when
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: I have a good doctor coming over from Augusta. Roy
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: Chesley recommends him very highly.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Who's Roy Chesley? Who's Roy Chesley? Well, I'll tell you
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: who he is.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: His father owns half the town. And Roy, well, Roy
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: is president of the bank, Campbell Commerce. He owns the
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: town drugstore, and he's going to marry Trudy Mason. That's
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: who Ray Chesley is. Oh, and this doctor's a friend
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: of Chesley's?
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Yes, Dr. Jentz from Augusta. He'll come as soon as
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: he can. I thought you told me you'd never hire
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: a man again without seeing him first. Well, yes, yes,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I did, but Jentz could be nothing but an improvement. Well, fine.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Let's start the improvement right now. Goodbye, Doctor. No, no, wait, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: What for? Be a reason. I want to start my
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: vacation tomorrow. No, no.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: I'm not asking you to handle any difficult cases. If
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: anything serious comes up before Dr. Jensken arrives, Dr. Wheaton
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: will come over from Venture Bay.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Nothing to end the four o'clock buzz. Goodbye.
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: I'll give you a cash bonus if you stay. Say twenty,
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: say ten dollars.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Ten dollars. You said 20. Well, why don't we make
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: it 15? You forget it. The town doesn't like me
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: and I don't like the town. You catch any fish
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: this morning? Now, what's more, you've scared away every fish
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: from my eyes around. We fish properly. Young man, I've
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: been fishing this sea for 34 years. Oh, go on, dear.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Look at this equipment you're using. I never fish with
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: a float. I like to get the hook deep down
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: into the fish's living room. Down where the money is.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: And get the line out like this. Way out there
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: where the ripples are. There we are now. Stand by
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: for action.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: Well, that's very interesting, huh? Uh, he'll stay for a
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks, eh?
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I told you, no. There, you see? You see how
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: simple it is? Here, take the rod. Take over quick.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Look at you. Look at the scene. I've never seen
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: such a beast in this scene. Well, stop playing. Give
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: him the line. Let him play with it. Get out
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: of my way.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: Give me some room.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: You're going to pull it right out of his mouth. No,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: anyone can get a bird for it.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: The real stealer's bringing them in. And I happen to
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: pride myself on a particular aptitude for that.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: He got away. Well, me too. So long, Doctor. Sure
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: helped us, huh? Well, all right. All right. I'll tell
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: you what I'll do. I'll make a bargain with him. Now,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think I can stay a fortnight, but I'll
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: tell you what I'll do. Yeah, yeah. I'll stick it
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: out for a couple of weeks. The man's... The man's
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: a lunatic. What's that? I said I'm obliged, Doctor Pearson.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Very much obliged to you. Now our producer, Mr. Cummings.
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: Act two of Welcome Stranger, starring Cary Grant as Jim,
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: Barry Fitzgerald as Dr. McRory, and Pat Crowley as Trudy. Well,
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: a couple of days have gone by. And while a
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: stranger in town, Dr. Pearson is hardly any more welcome
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: than before.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Old Dr.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: McRory at long last is ready to leave on his vacations.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: You haven't forgotten your ticket, I hope.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: You asked me that twice, Mrs. Gilly. It's in me wallet. Now,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: where are the blue blazers, Pearson? I'll wait just two
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: more minutes. Two minutes? Oh, the blather skies. He knows
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: I'm here.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: Now, now, don't get yourself overheated. You haven't been feeling
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: too well, you know.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: And how could I feel well? Are you still here?
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: I thought you left long ago. And how could I
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: leave without giving you me instructions? Oh, but you did.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: If anybody gets sick, I'm to send for a doctor. Exactly. Dr.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: Wheaton will come over on all serious cases. And you'll
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: remain here in Farbridge until Dr. Jenks arrives. Oh, Dr. Jenks. Splendid.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: You'll see that Mrs. Sims takes the calcium tablets for
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: her children. Calcium tablets. Three times daily. Oh, and don't
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: forget MacTewson's carbuncle. It's about ready for lancing. Check. And, oh, yes,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: you might drop in on Mrs. Crowley. Her baby's about due. Oh,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: you think I'm capable of delivering a baby? Frankly, no.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: But I wouldn't worry. I wouldn't worry about Mrs. Crowley.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: She's had ten. She's had... She'll tell you what to do. Well, goodbye, Mrs.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Gilly.
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: And I'll go with you in the taxi. You can
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: drop me off for baby's day.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Now, remember, Pearson, no surgery. No. You'd better take these. Now,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: what might they be? The train tickets. Oh, thank you
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: to mind your own business. I bid you goodbye. Mason, well,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: come in, come in. I'm sorry, but you just missed
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: the old gentleman.
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: Well, frankly, I dropped by to borrow an umbrella. It's
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: starting to pour.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Help yourself. You're on your way to Roy Chesley's drugstore,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: I presume.
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Well, I happen to be on my way home.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Good. You know, I can't make up my mind which
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Chesley I dislike more, Roy or his father. Oh? I
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: guess Roy. He's a shade more obnoxious, wouldn't you say? Dr.
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: Pearson, in case you're trying to be funny, Roy and
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: I are engaged to be married.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's ridiculous. How can a girl like him... Dr. Pearson! Dr.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: Pearson, help!
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Well, what is it? What is it? Dr. McGraw. But
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: after we dropped off Mrs. Gilley, we no more than
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: turned the corner when he starts moaning and groaning and... Oh,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: my stomach. Pains in me stomach. He held over my
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: taxi like he was kicked by a mule. Help me
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: get him in the office. No, no, no. I can walk.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: I'll be fine, fine.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: What is it?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: I don't know. Can you wait around for a while?
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Yes, yes, of course.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Dr. Wheaton. Oh, it's me appendix. It's me appendix. Well,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: for the first time, you and I may be in
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: complete agreement. Now, lie still and let me take a look. Oh, Pearson,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: go away. Somebody go away. Just let me alone. Could
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: you please keep that thermometer in your mouth?
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what's my blood count? Or is that too difficult
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: for you to determine?
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: None of your business, but you've got appendicitis all right.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Temperature of 103. Oh, 30 years. I waited for me vacation.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: 30 years. That appendix will have to come out, and
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: you know it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: Dr.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Pearson. Oh, come in, Trudy.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: Oh, I just called Dr. Wheaton, but he's out on
• 19:48
  Speaker 6: a confinement case. He's not expected... back until late tonight.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: See, we can't wait, Dr. McCrory. It's my appendix, and
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: I'm going to wait. I'm a very sick man, Pearson,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: but me mind's clear. I'll just soon call in Sweeney
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: the butcher. Now, let's start being sensible, shall we? I
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: know you don't have any confidence in me, but there
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: isn't any other choice. Your pulse is 108. To tell
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: you the truth, there's a Dr. Blodgett over there in Millbrook.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: But that's almost 100 miles. Dr.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: McRory, please.
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: No, no.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: It's got to be done now. I warn you, if
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: you operate against me, we'll go to prison for manslaughter. Now,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: listen to me. You've had a lot more experience than
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I have. Now, what would you do with a patient
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: as ornery and mean as you are? No, no, that's
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: not a fair question. Oh, Pearson, Pearson. Have you ever
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: operated before? Certainly I've operated. Judy, you'll have to help me.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: What did you say? I need help.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Well, if I have to.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: Dr. Pearson? All right, I'm through with this one. Well,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: I've had a good full life. Me fishing tackle goes
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: to Mount Aspen's true friend. Candy Weaver used to have
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: me pipes in the front.
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: Doctor, for heaven's sake.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: Exactly. Now, write it down, write it down as.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: I tell you.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm sorry, Doctor, but Miss Mason will have to
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: postpone her legal work. I need a nurse. Me house
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: goes to Mrs. Gilly, and me savings to you, Judy,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: and to the county orphans. Pearson, you're a witness. I'll
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: go on. You'll be pole vaulting in three weeks.
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: Even with a competent surgeon, 10% of peritonitis cases are lost.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Well, you needn't worry. I've already lost my 10%. Yeah, yeah, what?
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: What's this stuff? Ether? No, no, you don't. I want
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: a local anesthetic. Can't you be reasonable? I'd like to
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: give you a spinal if I had someone here to
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: watch your blood pressure. I said a local. Oh, for goodness.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: How can you be so sick and so stubborn at
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: the same time? Believe me, Pearson, you'd be grateful to
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: me for my supervision and comments. I've had a lot
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: of experience. Well, I've had a diddle myself. A local,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: if you don't mind. Okay, a local.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: Now, then, Judy, you see that mirror over there? Now,
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: put it on the stand so we can see what's
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: going on.
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: You want to watch?
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: The exact intentions. Now, get on with it, Pearson. Shuffle
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: me off to meet me maker. Good morning. Well, don't
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: tell me. Good morning. This is Chesley's Drugstore. Yeah, we
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: just come in to get out of the snow. How's
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: old Doc this morning? He looks better than I do.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: He's fine. Folks been saying you saved his life, Doc. Yeah,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: sure did. Well, I had to. He owed me a
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: week's salary. Dr. Peterson. Well, my favorite nurse. Oh, hello, Chesley.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: What'll it be, Doc? Two dozen phenobarbital, half green. Jed
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Conway's account. Conway? That's a hypertension case. Yeah, that's right. Oh,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: we have some potassium thiocyanate. I believe that's considered more modern.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Would you be terribly offended, Chesley, if I insisted upon phenobarbital? No,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: just as you say, Doc. Thanks. Dr.
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: McClory had a good night, hmm? I spoke to Mrs.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: Gilley. Oh, he's doing very well. Quite an experience for you,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: wasn't it? Well, you were wonderful.
• 22:52
  Speaker 6: Well, thanks.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: So were you. Of course, Dr.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Pearson.
• 22:56
  Speaker 9: Epidectomy is probably the simplest of all operations.
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: Roy!
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Well, he's right, yes. It's been a bribe at all.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Thanks. I, uh, I don't suppose you'd care to go
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: along on a sleigh ride tonight, Doctor?
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Sleigh ride, huh?
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Mrs. Gilly sold me a ticket.
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: Oh, but I imagine you're much too busy to go, huh?
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: That's exactly what I told Mrs. Gilly. But I think
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I just might make that sleigh ride after all. I'll
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: see you both tonight, huh?
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: Boy, now, Ray, must you be so rude?
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Who was being rude? All I said was... Jeffrey's Pharmacy. Ganks?
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: You all set? I sure will. In person at the
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Elk Town station. That's swell. Eight o'clock tonight. Right. That
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: was Dr. Jenks. He's coming in tonight.
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: The new doctor? Uh-huh. But if you're meeting him in
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: Elk Town tonight, won't we miss the sleigh ride?
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Oh, you go right ahead.
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: I'll meet the sleigh in Bentonville at the church supper,
• 23:42
  Speaker 9: and we'll have the ride back home together.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: Okay? Okay.
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: I'll see you later, Roy.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Why, good evening, Mr. Chesley.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: Come in, come in.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Mrs. Gilley. How's the doc feeling tonight?
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: Well, he won't tell me. He's too busy listening to
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: the masked rider on the radio.
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: That's a good sign.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Mrs.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Gilley, this is Dr. Jenks from Augusta. Oh, evening. It's
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a pleasure to know you, Mrs. Gilley. You'll tell Dr.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: McCrory that we're.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Here, please.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: I'll see what I can do, Mr.
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: Chesley.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Have a chair.
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: Now, like I said, he's not young.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: His methods aren't very modern. That's why I'm here. The
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: more old-fashioned he is, the sooner I'll get to take
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: over his practice.
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: He says you can come right in.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Mrs.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Gilling.
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: Roy, you're just the fellow I want to see. Well, Doc,
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: I want you to meet my old friend, Dr.
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: Jenks. How are you, Doctor? Satisfactory, thank you. Well, everything said, Doc.
• 24:38
  Speaker 9: Jenks is moving into that little cottage, you know, that
• 24:39
  Speaker 9: Dad owns across the street.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: And he's all ready to take over. Take over? Take
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: over what? Why? Your practice, Doctor, until you're able to.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Young man, I hope you haven't had a fire, because
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: I have no opening for you.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: No opening? But... But you asked him to come here. Oh, no,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: don't you ask him.
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: I'm very sorry, but I have a most excellent man
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: with me now, and I see.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: No reason for a change.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Oh, now, now, now, wait a minute.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: You made it quite clear that you consider Pearson, just
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: as I do, incompetent, irresponsible.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: And arrogant. Oh, no, no, you needn't distort the facts, Roy, boy. Dr.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: Pearson is a man of ability, which I was the
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: very first to recognize. Oh, I'm surprised at you. I'm
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: surprised at you.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Oh, I guess there's nothing more to say. Oh, just
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: one thing more.
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: I thank you not to use me to get your
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: friend's employment. And now, if you don't mind, I'll be
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: taking my rest.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: I don't want to be disturbed. I won't forget this, doctor.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: See that you don't. Goodbye, Jameson. Why, Mrs. Gilly, something
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: disturbing you? Is Dr. Pearson really staying on? Oh, why
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: shouldn't he?
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: In a matter of two or three weeks as well,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: you know, the town of Farbridge is breaking ground for
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: the most modern little hospital in the state of Maine.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: And you also know I'll be chief of staff. I'm
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: about to name Dr. Pearson as my first assistant.
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Did he say he was staying?
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: No, Mrs. Gilly, I'm not a well man.
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: All this chitter-chatter is most disturbing.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Now, just on me, now turn on me radio, please,
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: on your way out. May I come in? Yeah, come in,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: come in, come in. Well, you had a good time
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: at the sleigh ride, huh? Yeah, it was quite an experience.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: Two dudes there. Yep. Without Roy Chesley. Uh-huh. Ah, there's
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: a fine girl.
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: A great pity she's thrown herself away on a lumic sleigh, Chesley.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Don't you think so, huh? Yeah, he is a little
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: on the stuffy side. Well, your pulse is good. Yes,
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: take Judy home? As a matter of fact, she's here.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: She's phoning Roy. I was supposed to meet her in Bentonville,
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: but he didn't show up. Mrs. Gilly just mentioned that
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: he stopped by with Dr. Jenks. Oh, that bladder skate.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: A most incompetent young man, and so rude.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: He went away. Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: You know that I'm leaving here just as soon as
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: you get well. Oh, yes, yes. Oh, yes, to be sure. And, yes,
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: I have another doctor coming, yes. He'll be here any
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: day now.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Dr. Gilly Rooney. Oh, uh, Peter. Peter Michael Galooney, M.D. Oh,
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: a very nice young man. But far from your equal,
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: me boy. Well, naturally. Well, of course, if you change
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: your mind, you know. No, no. Anyway, you'll be up
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: and around the week yourself, back on the job as usual,
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: all by yourself. Yes, I'll be myself. Ah, James, James,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: how those words describe me entire life. I'd like you
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: to see something. This book. It's me old photograph album.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: I've been lying here looking at it and thinking and thinking.
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: Old pictures, huh? Yeah, look at this one. A lovely
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: young lady, isn't she? Beautiful. I was very fond of her.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: So very fond. And she, of course, she was fond
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: of me, too. What happened?
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, you know, just a young doctor just starting out,
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: not too bright. And while I was making up my mind,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: she married someone else. And now, what a lonely old man. Jim,
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: don't make the mistake I made, or you'll be lonely, too.
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: Judy has a very high opinion of you.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm leaving the end of the week, and
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: right now I'm taking your temperature. Oh, listen, don't think
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: for a minute that I was thinking like that. Close
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: your mouth, please. Close, please.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: Well, hello. How's our patient?
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, no change. Health, fine. Disposition, terrible. Dr.
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: Pearson, telephone.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, excuse me. Anybody I know. No, I doubt it. Trudy,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: sit down. Yes, doctor? You know, it'll be a sad
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: day for Farbridge when that young man leaves. Oh, great ability.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: And it's too bad that he... Well, uh... Well?
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: Well, what's too bad?
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, no, no, not for me to violate the confidence, Trudy. No, still... No, no, no,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I can't.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: You know you're going to tell me, Dr.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Soul. Oh, all right then, perhaps I should. Trudy, Dr.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Pearson is most unhappy. Oh, what about? About your engagement
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: to Roy.
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: Did he say so?
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: More than that.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: He says you're engaged to a stuffy young man.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Oh? And that's why he's going away. He's not happy, Trudy.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: He's not happy. He doesn't show it, you know, but he... Well,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: the population of East Fallbridge is about to increase. And Mrs.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: Channock.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: Ah, Edie Channock. A fine, healthy girl.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Her first, you know.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Well, how do I get out there? Well, if you
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: go where, well... I know you'll never find your way there. No, no, no.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Not on these, not on these old nights. I'll drive
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: you there myself, Jim. Hand me, hand me, hand me
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: me girl. Oh, for you? Don't be ridiculous. Jim, that
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: baby's waiting for us.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: Oh, lie down, doctor. I'll take Dr.
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: Pearson.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: I know where the house is.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Not that very sweet of you.
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: Come on, we'd better hurry. I brought your hot milk, Kim.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Ah, lovely pear they make, huh?
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: Dr.
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: McGrory, if I were you, I'd... Now, what on earth
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: are you doing with my cousin Hattie's photograph? And my album,
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: my photograph album.
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: Oh, well, you see, there were old pictures and old
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: wine and... Old Budinsky.
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: Now, drink your milk and go to sleep.
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, and pleasant dreams to you, too, Mrs. Gilligan.
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: A Cousin Rises on Act Three of Welcome Stranger, starring
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Cary Grant as Jim, Barry Fitzgerald as Dr. McRory, and
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Pat Crowley as Trudy. Well, several hours have gone by.
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: Little Janux had her baby, and Trudy and Dr. Pearson
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: are on their way home.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Where are we? Practically home. I've been asleep. Not long enough.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: A girl has to be at school in a few hours.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: You were talking about... Oh, about going away.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Well, Justin, in two weeks or so, I'll be on
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: a boat again. Going where? There's only one place to
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: go this time of year. South.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Jim, doesn't having a home mean anything to you?
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Sure, that's why I have so many. What happened? Did
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I say something funny?
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no. Don't shout at you.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Dr.
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: McCrory. He said you were going away because you're heartbroken.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: Over what?
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: Over me. You know, he'd do anything to have you
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: stay on.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Cupid McCrory, huh?
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: He told me you were a pretty fine fellow.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I'll say this for him. He couldn't have said a
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: more attractive trap. Well, thank you.
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: And thanks for bringing me home.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: It looks like someone's waiting for you on the porch. Roy! Roy!
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: Oh, my goodness.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: Well, hello, Roy.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: You are going to meet me in half an hour.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Some half hour.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: I'm terribly sorry, Roy. I meant to phone you, but
• 31:53
  Speaker 6: a woman in East Fallbridge had a baby, and I.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Oh, and you had to be there, of course.
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: Without your help, women in East Fallbridge couldn't have babies.
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it's really my fault, Roy. I didn't know
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: the roads, and Trudy said she'd... Oh, so now it's Trudy.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: Isn't that my name?
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: You seem to forget that it's also going to be Chesley.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Why, please, you'll wake the whole neighborhood.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe you'd like to forget we're engaged.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: I don't want to talk like that. Yes, I would.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: That's just what I thought. Well, it's fine with me. Yes.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: I'll give you two minutes to take that back. Shouldn't
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: mean that, you know. She'll be right back. Yeah, well,
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: you better wait then. Good night, Roy. Don't think I'm worried. No, no.
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: You know, Trudy is far too smart to throw herself
• 32:26
  Speaker 9: away on a hobo. If I thought she'd be happy
• 32:29
  Speaker 9: with you, you know, living in freight cars, I'd say, fine.
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Thinking of her own good? Are you? No, no, I
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: don't think I am.
• 32:36
  Speaker 9: Are your intentions marriage?
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Well, frankly, Roy, that's something I've always tried to avoid. Now,
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: you listen to me, Pearson.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: Oh, please go home. People are trying to sleep.
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: Oh, Trudy, look, I'm sorry, but if you would just
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: keep away from this quack here.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Roy! Well, he isn't interested in marriage. He just told
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: me so. Well, Roy's upset. It's a natural misunderstanding coming
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: home so late and everything. Except me and everything else.
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: Well, you needn't be alarmed, Doctor. Your freedom isn't in
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: any danger whether I'm engaged or not. And I'm not, Roy.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: So good night.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: I wasn't much of a help, was I?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I ought to.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: Punch you right on the... Oh! Forgive me for ducking.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: Good night, Roy. Next time, don't telegraph your punches. Well, well, well,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: just in time for breakfast. Now, what happened last night?
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Six-pound boy. Everything's fine. Good, good. And how's Julie? Uh,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: a trifle upset the last time I saw her. She
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: and Roy broke their engagement. How do they know? You
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: don't say. All right, Doctor. Don't you think you've done
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: enough meddling? Meddling?
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: A man tries to squeeze a little brains into that narrow,
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: pig-headed skull of yours, and you call it meddling.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: In my opinion, the girl's too good for you. You
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: talk too much. Eat your breakfast. Talk too much, do I? Oh,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: I was right about you in the first case. You
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: have no manners. No manners at all.
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: Tell Dr.
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: Pearson I'll have his ham and eggs in a minute.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Come here, please, Mrs.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: Gilly.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Come here. You will inform Dr. Pearson that I'm no
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: longer speaking to him and that I have no interest
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: at all in what he has to say about ham
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: and eggs or anything else. Now, look, if I really
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: offended you... I'd much rather they didn't speak to me either.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: Um, Mrs.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: Gilly, will you remind Dr. McCrory that I agreed to
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: remain here until he's able to resume his practice and
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: I'll keep my word? He's informed Dr.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Pearson that he'll not get one penny salary after today.
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: Oh, tell him yourself, I'm busy frying eggs. Oh, come in,
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: come in.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Just passing by, Mrs. Gilly. Thought I might as well
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: drop off your groceries.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: I just had them down there, thanks.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: That's you, Doc. How are you feeling? Oh, remarkable, considering
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: who the surgeon was. I see you got a new
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: neighbor across the street, Dr. Jinx. Jinx? Who? Who'd you say? Dr. Jinx,
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Roy's friend. Moved in last night, Doc. Ah, just visiting,
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: no doubt. Oh, looks like a long visit, Doc. He's
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: putting up a shingle right now. Boy, the man will
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: need you. Oh, he'll never last. No one's going to
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: take your place in this town. Well, other doctors will
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: come here last of the month at the longest. Yes, well,
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: this fellow won't last three weeks. Three weeks, you think, huh?
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: You still mad at me?
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: Now, whatever gave you such a silly impression, Stan? Sit down,
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: sit down, finish your breakfast. Jim, when are you going
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: to be leaving here?
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: How's Saturday afternoon? You think you'll be strong enough by then?
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: I'm strong enough right now. Jim, there's a meeting Saturday noon.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: I'd like you to come along. Meeting?
• 35:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the board of directors of the new hospital. As
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: you know, I'm to have complete charge of the place
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: as soon as it's finished.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Thanks. I'd like very much to attend, Dr. McCrory. Make
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: close friends. Call me Joe. Thank you. And what's more, gentlemen,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: we have now raised every last dime we need to
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: complete the new hospital. Thank you.
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: Now, Dr.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: McCrory, on behalf of the hospital board, I want you
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: to know how much we appreciate your long and devoted
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: service to our community. Why, thank you, Jesse, thank you.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: We know how close the new hospital is to your heart.
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: It is, it is. Well, it's close to our heart, too. Therefore,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: we feel that a doctor with more modern methods, new ideas...
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: What's that? Doc, times have changed. You mean you don't
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: want me to run the hospital? Well, we feel that
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: a younger man like Dr. Jenks... Well, we haven't exactly
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: voted yet, Doc, but... Excuse me, I'll be leaving. Come around, Jim. Now, Joe, wait. Mr. Chesley,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: may I say something? You a member of this board, Pearson?
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: If I were, I'd be ashamed to admit it. Now,
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: it seems to me there's some pretty short memories around here. Dr.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: McCrory's guarded the health of this town for 35 years.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: He knows more about medicine than Dr. Jinx, Jinx or
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: whatever his name is, and I will ever get out
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: of books. Now, listen, Pearson, you know, there are new methods,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: new discoveries. Yes, you're right, Roy, but no one has
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: discovered a substitute for skill or wisdom or for practical experience.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Experience a goodness of heart. Well, it isn't that we
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: don't think highly of dogs. Besides, there's nothing really definite.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: We've got a vote on it. Now, hold on there, boys.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: We've all decided. Excuse me, Dad, but if Dr. McCrory
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: is the better man, there is a way to find out.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: A written examination conducted by the Medical Society. That suit you, Dr. Jenks?
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: Oh, of course.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: That seems more than fair to me. Well, surely Dr.
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: McCrory couldn't object to a written examination now, could he?
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Of course he could. I shouldn't have to remind any
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: of you that Dr. McCrory hasn't written an examination paper
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: in almost 40 years. Now, nobody's knocking the old dog,
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: but we want to do the progressive thing. And I
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: think the examination idea is real progressive. All in favor,
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: say aye. Aye. Six to two. It's carried. Let's go, Dan. Joe,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: that examination, don't you think you'd better start... No, no, no, no,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: I don't. Ah, I've been here too long. A man's
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: a fool to bury himself in one little corner.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: Of the world.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't have too much trouble with it, really. At
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: my age? Jim, would you believe it? I'm past 60. No,
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: I never would have guessed it. You wouldn't, huh? Never. Well,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: what do you think of that, huh? Joe, would you
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: like me to stay here a while, just sort of
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: hang around?
• 38:12
  Speaker 8: No, thanks.
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: I'll soon be going myself.
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: Why not even get me a job on one of
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: those ships like you do? Well, it's about time for
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: your bus.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: You wouldn't like to wait around, would you? See me off? No, no,
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think I'll walk on home.
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: It's a fine day.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Dr. Pearson, it's been a pleasure knowing you. That goes
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: for me, too, Joe.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Goodbye.
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: Goodbye. Goodbye.
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: Well, good afternoon, Doctor.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Waiting for the bus, hmm? I, uh, I was just
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: about to call you to say goodbye, Trudy.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: Oh, but goodbyes aren't pleasant. And you generally manage to
• 38:53
  Speaker 6: avoid things that aren't pleasant.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: That's right, whenever I can.
• 38:56
  Speaker 6: Well, it's wonderful having a little world all of your own.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Isn't it?
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: If your friends have problems, that's their misfortune. You just
• 39:03
  Speaker 6: get on a little boat and your whole world is
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: snug and cozy again.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Now, now, now, wait a minute, teacher.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Have you any idea what that hospital means to Dr.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: McCrory?
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: Have you the vaguest notion what losing it is going.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: To do to him? Now, aren't you confusing me with
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: the Chesleys? I didn't take that job away from Joe McCrory,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: and my staying here won't give it back to him.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: And you could help him prepare for that examination.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: Well, he'd never take that examination, not with his pride. Pride?
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: The hospital is the dream of his life, and you
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: talk about pride. If you urged him to take it,
• 39:28
  Speaker 6: he'd take it.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: And if you... coached him, he'd pass.
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: But no, no, it's much more pleasant than Guatemala. Well,
• 39:35
  Speaker 6: here's your bus. Have fun, doctor. It's been nice knowing you.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: What do you mean you're going to work on a boat,
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: a man of your age?
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Will you be good enough to pack me things, Mrs. Kelly? Oh,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: you're an impossible old fool. What things? Everything. Everything? You mean.
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: Why, Doc, I wouldn't know where to begin.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Neither would I. That's why I... What happened, Jim?
• 40:07
  Speaker 6: You missed the bus.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: We'll talk about that later. All right, Joe, come on,
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: let's get into your office. Take off your coat and
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: put on your glasses. We're going to go to work.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: talking about it. Now, you want that hospital, don't you? Well,
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: we've got ten days to bone up for the examination.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get started. Now, list the symptoms, etiology, treatment,
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: and complications of my....
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Hello?
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: This is Roy Chesley.
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: Where's Dr.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: Jenks? Oh, he's around here somewhere, Roy. He just finished
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: the examination. Oh, Dr. McCraw is taking a little more time,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: but if you care to place a small wager on
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: who's going to win.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Now, look, Pearson, this is serious.
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: You tell Jenks to get over to the schoolhouse right away.
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: Four boys have just been taken deathly ill. You get
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Jenks over here. Jenks, Jenks, is it anything serious? Eddie,
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: here's my nephew. He's Lucy's boy. Well, four boys sick
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: at one time. Food poisoning's been ruled out, but I
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: don't like those dizzy headaches. Have the youngsters been out
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: of school lately, Miss Mason?
• 41:15
  Speaker 6: Well, George here was absent yesterday.
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: His horse died. Horse died? What from? Well, they didn't know.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: And these marks on his arm. Mosquito bites. Mosquito bites.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Mosquito bites. What's that mean, Doc? What's going on around here?
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: These boys in your class?
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: Yes, I've sent all the other pupils home.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, thanks, Pearson, but we don't need any help. It's
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: a fairly obvious case.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Is it?
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: Hello, boys. Now, what seems to be the trouble?
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Right there.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: You see? They can't even talk. They just lie there,
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: all green and sick and moaning. Dr. Jenks, it was...
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: It's not a common disease, Dr. McCrory. I don't believe
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: you'd know about it. But if I'm not mistaken, these
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: four boys have contracted equine encephalitis. Oh, no! What is it?
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Mosquitoes carry the virus. Chickens harbor it. The disease is
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: more common among horses. Oh, now, wait. You're not being
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: a little hasty, are you, Dr. James? Not wasting time
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: is being hasty, yes. Doctor, how serious is it? Well,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: there was an outbreak in Massachusetts in 1938, and believe me,
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: it was very serious. Equine, uh, what do you call it? Oh,
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: call it virus brain fever. Roy, call Bentonville. Tell them
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: to get the ambulances here right away. We've got to
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: isolate these boys immediately. As for the other children, well,
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: everyone has got to be inoculated. Now, I'm going to
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: telephone Chicago. They've got a serum there, and if we
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: can get the army to fly it here in time... Yeah, Jim, Jim. Well,
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: I hate to tell you... Yeah, come with me. I
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: want to show you something. Jim, you don't suppose Jenks
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: could be right, Joe?
• 42:31
  Speaker 5: Well, he could be right, but to me, well, I've
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: got another theory.
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: I want to show you something here in the washroom.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Those four boys have been poisoned, Jim. Poisoned? But how
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: could they?
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: Well, take a look.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: Four cigar butts. Nicotine poisoning, wouldn't you say, huh? Come on,
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: come on, we'd better get out of here. We need
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: vaccine for everybody in town. I've got Chicago Hospital on
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: the phone. Let me talk to them.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Dr.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: Jenks, if I might make a suggestion. Not now. Find
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: out how soon they can get it here, Mr. Jenks. Dr.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Jenks' case, Joe.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: Customary ethics. I'm trying to tell him that he's got
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: nothing to worry about.
• 43:10
  Speaker 9: What?
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: Well, if it isn't being too unethical, Dr. Jenks, I
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: suggest you forget that vaccine. Dr. McCrory has a much
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: simpler specific. Well, my own private prescription is the back
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: of a hairbrush vigorously applied to the seat of the pants.
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: What are you talking about? It's the best cure I.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: Know for 12-year-olds who've been smoking cigars. The evidence is
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: in the washroom. Oh, they must have heard what you said, Joe.
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: Look at those kids scoot out of here. You boys,
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: come back here. Come back here at once. Hang up, Dad.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Just tell Chicago we made a slight mistake. Oh, I'm
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: terribly sorry, Mr. Chesley. Now, if you only let me explain.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: Get away from me, you.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: Everything's all right, ladies and gentlemen. There's nothing wrong with
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: your children.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: You can all go home now. Oh, Miss Mason. Hey, teach. Yes? Oh,
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised at you. You shouldn't permit your students to
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: smoke cigars. Well, I guess I shouldn't. Oh, you're just
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: going to have to be a little more careful with
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: our kids.
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: Oh, don't be so smart.
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: Oh, here now. Hold on. Wait a minute. Joe. Joe,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: about the hospital.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: It's yours.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: I don't want the hospital, Chesney. But, Joe... For 35 years,
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: I've been thinking about Farbridge. Now, I'm going to think
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: about myself. For those examinations, forget them.
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: I know the hospital's a big job for a man
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: in my advanced years. Unless, of course, Dr. Pearson stays
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: on to assist me.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: Sorry, Doctor, my plans are made. Unless, of course, Miss
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Mason were to.
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: Oh, I think it could be arranged.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: Yes, as I was saying, Mr. Chesney, I think it
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: could be arranged. Oh! In a moment, our stars will return.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: And our thanks for a delightful evening to Cary Grant,
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: Barry Fitzgerald, and Pat Crowley.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: And may the good fairies go with you all along
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: the way. Oh, what's the play for next week, Irving?
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: I'm happy to say that again we have a wonderful trio.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: A trio of stars, two handsome gentlemen and a lovely lady.
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: We'll present them in a suspenseful drama from Warner Brothers.
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: The unforgettable strangers on the train.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: The stars.
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: That excellent actor, Robert Cummings. Gorgeous Virginia Mayo. And one
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: of our finest artists, Dana Andrews.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, I wouldn't miss it. Good night. Good night.
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: Good night.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: And you're always welcome. And my cast tonight were Ruth
• 45:43

  Speaker 8: Our orchestra is under the direction of Rudy Schrager.
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: This is Ken Carpenter.
• 46:12
  Speaker 8: Inviting you to join us next week at this same
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: time for another presentation of the Hollywood Radio Theater. Hollywood
• 46:23
  Speaker 8: Radio Theater is a presentation of the United States Armed
• 46:26
  Speaker 8: Forces Radio and Television Service.
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: A broadcast from April 5th of 1954 of Welcome Stranger
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: on the Lux Radio Theater called for Armed Forces Radio
• 46:51
  Speaker 7: and TV Service listeners.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: The Hollywood Radio Theater.
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: And Ken Carpenter even recorded a special closing for it
• 47:00
  Speaker 7: to say the Hollywood Radio Theater and that sort of thing.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: This was 1954.
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: Service men and women around the world were being more
• 47:10
  Speaker 7: and more introduced to television by way of Armed Forces Radio.
• 47:14
  Speaker 7: And what they would do, they'd do the same thing
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: that they did with radio. You'd get the big TV shows,
• 47:19
  Speaker 7: they'd edit out all of the commercials, and you'd watch
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: them overseas, wherever you were, however you could, without the commercials.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: Oh, how nice that would be sometimes, huh?
• 47:32
