1:36
Speaker 4: This is the story of a good American and how
1:39
Speaker 4: he grew. This is the story of Ruggles, a gentleman's gentleman,
1:44
Speaker 4: a man's man, an English valet whose master lost him
1:47
Speaker 4: in an unfortunate game of poker to a horny-handed American
1:50
Speaker 4: citizen of Red Gap, a friendly town of the far west.
1:57
Speaker 3: Do I understand your lordship to say that I was
1:59
Speaker 3: at stake in a game of poker?
2:01
Speaker 2: That's right. It seems I lost you, Ruggles, to a Mr.
2:05
Speaker 2: and Mrs. Egbert cloud. Another rustic chap, Egbert, made a
2:10
Speaker 2: pile in mining, Ruggles. But you don't have to go
2:13
Speaker 2: off if you don't want to.
2:15
Speaker 3: Go off, sir.
2:16
Speaker 2: I've got an idea. I rather think they want to
2:20
Speaker 2: take you back to Red Gap.
2:22
Speaker 3: Red Gap.
2:24
Speaker 2: Yes, Ruggles, some outpost in America, I believe.
2:27
Speaker 3: America? America, my lord? A country of slavery?
2:32
Speaker 2: Oh, I think that's all finished. I believe some chap
2:35
Speaker 2: of the name of Lincoln did something about it.
2:37
Speaker 3: I understand, my lord.
2:39
Speaker 2: There's the bell, Ruggles. I wouldn't be surprised if this
2:42
Speaker 2: isn't that chap Egbert. To collect you.
2:45
Speaker 3: To collect me, my lord? Very well, my lord. By
2:48
Speaker 3: the way, my lord, any parting remarks?
2:53
Speaker 2: You don't think so, Ruggles?
2:55
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, of course.
2:56
Speaker 2: Stiff upper plate, Ruggles.
2:58
Speaker 3: Thank you, my lord.
3:16
Speaker 4: All out, Red Gap. Well, Ruggles, this is home. This
3:23
Speaker 4: is Red Gap. Pretty far from London, huh?
3:26
Speaker 3: Yes, sir. Are those cowboys, Mr.
3:30
Speaker 4: Cloud? Yep, yep. Friends and neighbors. Well, come on, let's go.
3:34
Speaker 4: And remember now, none of that fancy butler stuff with
3:36
Speaker 4: me around here, Bill. As far as I'm concerned, you're
3:39
Speaker 4: Colonel Ruggles. You get that, Colonel Ruggles? Yes, but I
3:43
Speaker 4: mean to say.
3:43
Speaker 3: All right, come on, Effie, let's go. Oh, Miss Chills!
3:48
Speaker 5: Oh, my dear!
3:50
Speaker 3: How sweet of you to come and meet us. Oh,
3:53
Speaker 3: how smart you look in your cutaway. I'd never have.
3:56
Speaker 4: Known it was you. Yeah, well, I ain't so sure myself, daughter.
3:59
Speaker 3: This is Ruggles. Egbert's man.
4:02
Speaker 6: We persuaded our friend Lord Brinceton to let.
4:04
Speaker 4: Him come to us. Ruggles, this is Mr.
4:07
Speaker 3: Belknap Jackson, our son-in-law.
4:09
Speaker 4: Sir, how do you do? Holy cow, there's your ma, Eppie.
4:13
Speaker 4: Ma Pettengill. Where are you, old maverick? Bowerd, oh, you
4:18
Speaker 4: old horned toad. Well, ma, what kept you? I'll bet
4:21
Speaker 4: you were sitting in that old silver dollar saloon. Ah,
4:24
Speaker 4: taint's awful.
4:25
Speaker 7: Don't you know that this is the first train that's
4:27
Speaker 7: been on time since the railroad was built?
4:30
Speaker 4: Oren, travel doesn't seem to have altered my dear father-in-law
4:33
Speaker 4: very much. I dare say you find him rather a
4:35
Speaker 4: trial after his lordship, eh, Ruggles?
4:37
Speaker 3: Not at all, Mr. Belknap Jackson. Quite the diverse.
4:40
Speaker 4: Hey, Sardau, where'd you get that fancy suit?
4:43
Speaker 5: And that hat! Oh, baby!
4:46
Speaker 2: Excuse me, sir.
4:47
Speaker 4: Hey, Ma, meet the Colonel. Hi, Colonel. How do you do?
4:51
Speaker 4: Where's your uniform? Mater.
4:53
Speaker 7: Do I hear the voice of that darned dude, Belknap Jackson?
4:57
Speaker 4: Mater, you can't shake hands with him. He's a man's man.
5:00
Speaker 7: You bet your boots he is.
5:02
Speaker 3: Hello, Mother.
5:04
Speaker 4: Why, Effie.
5:06
Speaker 7: Well, darn me if you don't look like a real lady.
5:10
Speaker 4: Hey, boys.
5:12
Speaker 3: Mother, Ruggles is Egbert's servant.
5:15
Speaker 4: Well, too good for him, if you ask me. Bring
5:18
Speaker 4: that luggage, Ruggles.
5:19
Speaker 3: Very good, son.
5:20
Speaker 7: You're going to like it here, Ruggles. If Egbert likes you,
5:24
Speaker 7: you're a regular guy.
5:25
Speaker 3: And if you're.
5:26
Speaker 4: Okay with Egbert, you're okay with Red Gap.
5:30
Speaker 3: Thank you, madam.
5:31
Speaker 7: And don't be calling me madam, Colonel. My name's Ma.
5:36
Speaker 4: Ma Pettingill. Yes, Ma. Well, come on.
5:40
Speaker 5: There's the wagon.
5:41
Speaker 4: Let's get going. Come on, Bill.
5:43
Speaker 3: Bill, me... Oh, yes, sir. Oh, just a minute, Egbert.
5:47
Speaker 3: I have written out this notice, which is to be printed.
5:50
Speaker 6: In the society page of our newspaper. The Flouds are
5:54
Speaker 6: accompanied by their English manservants, secured to the Earl of Brinstead.
5:59
Speaker 3: He will no.
6:00
Speaker 6: Doubt do much to impart an air of continental smartness
6:04
Speaker 6: to the plowed reception today.
6:05
Speaker 4: Whoa, that's some mess of words, huh?
6:08
Speaker 6: Now, you give that to Jake Henshaw, the editor of
6:10
Speaker 6: the paper himself.
6:11
Speaker 4: All right, Effie. Come on, Bill, let's go. Go, sir.
6:14
Speaker 3: Yes, ma'am. But is this the newspaper office, sir?
6:29
Speaker 4: Oh, no, no. This is Nell Kenner's place. The bohemian
6:32
Speaker 4: crowd is having a barbecue. Hello, Sardule. When did you
6:36
Speaker 4: come off the train? Well, I just got in, Jake. Jake,
6:39
Speaker 4: shake hands with my friend, Colonel Ruggles.
6:41
Speaker 3: How do you do?
6:41
Speaker 4: Colonel, shake hands with Jake Henshaw. Smartest newspaper man in
6:45
Speaker 4: the West.
6:45
Speaker 3: Howdy-do. Uh, Colonel?
6:47
Speaker 4: What army, sir?
6:48
Speaker 3: Well, the truth is.
6:49
Speaker 4: Uh, British Army. Retired.
6:52
Speaker 3: You don't say so.
6:53
Speaker 4: Say, that's a swell piece.
6:54
Speaker 3: For the paper.
6:55
Speaker 4: All right, well, go ahead, Bill. Go on, now, circulate.
6:57
Speaker 4: Make yourself at home.
6:59
Speaker 3: Uh, yes, sir.
7:00
Speaker 4: Uh.
7:00
Speaker 3: It seems to be a very tempting odor, sir. Could
7:03
Speaker 3: I inquire into its origin? Well, that's barbecue sauce, Bill.
7:07
Speaker 4: Go on over and chin with the gal who's cooking it.
7:09
Speaker 4: That's Mrs. Judson.
7:10
Speaker 3: Why, Egbert Cloud, you old son of a gun.
7:13
Speaker 4: Hello, Nell. I've been looking for you. Where have you been?
7:16
Speaker 6: This meat sauce is really excellent.
7:29
Speaker 3: My good woman. If you're calling me good woman because you.
7:32
Speaker 4: Don't know my name, the.
7:34
Speaker 3: Name is Judson. I'm delighted to make your acquaintance, I'm sure.
7:40
Speaker 3: So you like my meat sauce, do you? It's very good.
7:43
Speaker 3: It's very good indeed, in its own way.
7:47
Speaker 4: What do you mean, in its own way?
7:48
Speaker 3: Well, I was just thinking that maybe a few drops
7:51
Speaker 3: of this and a little bit of that might transform
7:54
Speaker 3: it into a really superlative sauce.
7:57
Speaker 6: Oh, so that's what you're thinking.
7:59
Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you that I've been making meat
8:01
Speaker 3: sauce for longer than I can remember, and nobody's ever
8:03
Speaker 3: found fault. My dear Mrs. Judson, I was not finding fault. Well, then,
8:09
Speaker 3: what did you mean by a few drops of this
8:11
Speaker 3: and a.
8:11
Speaker 4: Little of that?
8:11
Speaker 3: Well, I only meant that maybe a little spice and
8:14
Speaker 3: perhaps some wine vinegar.
8:15
Speaker 4: Who ever heard of putting wine vinegar in a meat sauce?
8:19
Speaker 3: Oh!
8:23
Speaker 5: I believe you're kidding me.
8:25
Speaker 3: I shouldn't dream of kidding, of doing such a thing, Mrs. Judson.
8:30
Speaker 3: I was only trying to put you right. Put me right? Now, listen, Colonel.
8:35
Speaker 3: You stick to the things you know, like leading a regiment. What?
8:39
Speaker 3: And I'll stick to what I know. My dear Mrs. Judson,
8:43
Speaker 3: let us not become embroiled in an international squabble. Shall
8:50
Speaker 3: we dance? My, Colonel... I'd love to.
8:56
Speaker 5: Hey, hey, hey, cheese it, Bill.
9:09
Speaker 4: Here comes bad news himself. It's Bill Knapp Jackson. Colonel,
9:13
Speaker 4: whatever is the matter? I must say you're the finest
9:17
Speaker 4: dancer I've ever.
9:18
Speaker 3: Had for a party. Would you excuse me for just
9:20
Speaker 3: a moment, please?
9:21
Speaker 4: Well, Ruggles... What.
9:23
Speaker 3: Have you to say? Only that Mr. Egbert brought me here, sir,
9:27
Speaker 3: and told me to mix. I am endeavoring to obey
9:30
Speaker 3: his instructions.
9:31
Speaker 4: Don't be impertinent. I was driving past, and I saw
9:34
Speaker 4: you dancing. Saw you with my very own eyes. Now,
9:37
Speaker 4: you'll leave this place immediately. Not without Mr. Egbert's orders, sir.
9:41
Speaker 3: What? I am sorry, sir. I say, was that you
9:49
Speaker 3: that kicked me, sir?
9:50
Speaker 4: Yes, it most certainly was. I hope that'll teach you
9:54
Speaker 4: a lesson.
9:57
Speaker 5: Wait! he kicked me?
10:01
Speaker 3: Yes, sir. So I did, sir.
10:04
Speaker 4: Why, I did, didn't I? And I demand, I demand
10:20
Speaker 4: that that ruffian be discharged at once.
10:23
Speaker 3: Whatever possessed you to kick Mr.
10:24
Speaker 2: Belknap Jackson, I shall never.
10:26
Speaker 3: Nor I, madam. Ordinarily, I am a model of self-control.
10:30
Speaker 3: It must have been Mr. Belknap Jackson's unfortunate behavior. Oh,
10:34
Speaker 3: I'm afraid you'll have to go, Ruggles. Madam, do you
10:38
Speaker 3: mean that I am to be abandoned to my fate
10:41
Speaker 3: in this uncivilized outpost?
10:44
Speaker 4: Oh.
10:45
Speaker 2: Uncivilized outpost.
10:47
Speaker 3: You see, Effie, the man is utterly impossible. Go and
10:50
Speaker 3: pack your bags immediately. But, sir, how am I to
10:52
Speaker 3: return to England?
10:53
Speaker 4: You should have thought of that before, I'm afraid.
10:55
Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
10:55
Speaker 4: Now, just a minute, Bill. Just a minute. Look here,
10:58
Speaker 4: you two. Before you go throwing Bill out on his ear,
11:01
Speaker 4: you'd better get a load of today's paper. Colonel Marmaduke Ruggles,
11:06
Speaker 4: late of the British Army, bond by Vance and man
11:09
Speaker 4: of the world, is at present the honored guest of Mr.
11:13
Speaker 4: Edward Flowers.
11:14
Speaker 3: Wait. That's not the message I gave you to be printed.
11:17
Speaker 4: I know, Effie, but let me finish. An intimate friend
11:20
Speaker 4: of the Earl of Brinstead, Colonel Ruggles will be a
11:23
Speaker 4: great acquisition to our social life. We understand that a
11:27
Speaker 4: series of entertainments are already being planned by socially prominent
11:31
Speaker 4: figures of Red Gap, such as Mrs. Judy Ballard and Mr.
11:34
Speaker 4: and Mrs. Ralph Wilson. Oh, this is disaster. This is
11:38
Speaker 4: complete social disaster.
11:40
Speaker 3: How dare you pass yourself off.
11:42
Speaker 4: As a colonel.
11:42
Speaker 3: I made no such pretense, madam. You know, Mr. Floud
11:45
Speaker 3: will call me that.
11:47
Speaker 4: Oh, Mrs.
11:47
Speaker 3: Judy Ballard. A party for Ruggles? Oh, what are we
11:51
Speaker 3: going to do?
11:52
Speaker 4: Oh, how do you do?
11:54
Speaker 2: You must be Colonel Ruggles.
11:56
Speaker 4: This is Mrs. Byron Carey.
11:57
Speaker 2: How do you do?
11:57
Speaker 3: This is Jerry Grant. And I'm Mrs. Ballard.
12:00
Speaker 5: How do you do?
12:00
Speaker 3: This is Judy Ballard.
12:01
Speaker 6: We felt we simply had to make your acquaintance.
12:05
Speaker 3: What are we going to do?
12:05
Speaker 4: We've got to go through with it.
12:07
Speaker 6: Essie, my dear, we've just called to welcome the Colonel
12:10
Speaker 6: to Red Gap.
12:11
Speaker 4: Oh, how sweet of you. Sure, you'll excuse the Colonel
12:15
Speaker 4: for a minute. He was... Just going to change out
12:17
Speaker 4: of those black things into something cooler.
12:20
Speaker 3: Well, we'll excuse him if he's not too long. But
12:23
Speaker 3: I thought... Never mind what you thought, Colonel. Charles will
12:27
Speaker 3: tell you all about it.
12:29
Speaker 4: Come along.
12:30
Speaker 3: Colonel? Yes, sir?
12:31
Speaker 4: Yes, Charlie.
12:33
Speaker 3: Yes, Charlie.
12:34
Speaker 5: Yes, Charlie.
12:53
Speaker 3: In just a moment, we bring you the second part
12:55
Speaker 3: of Academy Award. Until you've tried pure Squibb dental cream,
13:00
Speaker 3: you'll never know how much you may be missing in
13:03
Speaker 3: a dentifrice. For Squibb dental cream is three ways refreshing. First,
13:08
Speaker 3: it has a delightful flavor, cool and inviting as dewy
13:12
Speaker 3: fresh mint. That's why you can taste the refreshing difference
13:16
Speaker 3: when you use Squibb dental cream. Second, Its lively action
13:21
Speaker 3: brings to your whole mouth the sense of being gloriously
13:23
Speaker 3: clean and alive. That's why you can feel the refreshing
13:27
Speaker 3: difference when you use Squibb Dental Cream. And third, when
13:31
Speaker 3: you look in the mirror, you can see the refreshing
13:34
Speaker 3: difference because the polishing agent in pure Squibb Dental Cream
13:38
Speaker 3: is one of the safest, softest, yet most effective known
13:42
Speaker 3: to dental science. Ask for the dental cream that belongs
13:46
Speaker 3: in the great family of Squibb quality products. Ask for
13:51
Speaker 3: Squibb Dental Cream. Taste, feel, and see the refreshing difference.
13:58
Speaker 3: Before continuing with the second part of Ruggles of Red Gap,
14:01
Speaker 3: we want to thank Paramount Pictures for making this story available.
14:05
Speaker 3: Paramount's current production is OSS, starring Alan Ladd and Geraldine Fitzgerald.
14:20
Speaker 3: And now the House of Squibb presents part two of
14:23
Speaker 3: Academy Awards, starring Charles Lawton and Charlie Ruggles in Ruggles
14:28
Speaker 3: of Red Gap.
14:46
Speaker 4: Well, Ruggles, now the fuss is over. Just what are
14:51
Speaker 4: you doing in the library, Ruggles?
14:52
Speaker 3: I am discovering the most amazing things about your country, sir.
14:57
Speaker 3: A land of freedom and equality. Do you know what
15:01
Speaker 3: Abraham Lincoln said in his.
15:02
Speaker 4: Where did you get that book?
15:03
Speaker 3: I found it on the shelf, sir.
15:04
Speaker 4: So I see. Well, if you were taking the trouble
15:07
Speaker 4: to look, you would have found my name on the flyleaf.
15:11
Speaker 4: And if you had inquired, you would have learned that
15:12
Speaker 4: I allow no one to use my books.
15:14
Speaker 3: I'm very sorry, sir.
15:15
Speaker 4: Yes, and those house slippers.
15:18
Speaker 3: Ha!
15:19
Speaker 4: They're particularly offensive to me. They belong only in the bedroom.
15:22
Speaker 3: His lordship frequently wore house slippers in the drawing room, sir.
15:26
Speaker 3: In fact, I recall one occasion when he went dancing
15:29
Speaker 3: in house slippers. Oh, no, no.
15:31
Speaker 4: No gentleman would go beyond the bathroom with those shoes.
15:35
Speaker 3: Do you mean to imply that his lordship was... Drop
15:38
Speaker 3: that weapon. Weapon, sir. I was only resting my hand
15:41
Speaker 3: on this bookend, sir. Just your imagination, sir.
15:44
Speaker 4: Oh, no, it isn't. I caught the same murderous look
15:47
Speaker 4: in your eyes the night you struck me. I....
16:10
Speaker 3: I hope that incident has been forgotten, sir.
16:12
Speaker 4: Well, it hasn't. And that's why I'm giving you notice.
16:15
Speaker 3: Notice, sir? Exactly.
16:16
Speaker 4: And keep your hand away from that bookend.
16:18
Speaker 3: I can't believe it, sir. I thought everything was going
16:22
Speaker 3: so well.
16:22
Speaker 4: Well, for you. But for the rest of us, the
16:25
Speaker 4: situation is impossible. Now, here. Here's your ticket to San Francisco.
16:29
Speaker 4: I fancy you can manage to work your way to
16:31
Speaker 4: London from there. That's all, Ruggles. You'll just have time
16:34
Speaker 4: to pack and catch the number 36th. South.
16:51
Speaker 3: My train is a half hour late, and I thought
16:55
Speaker 3: I would drop in and have a bite to eat.
16:57
Speaker 4: Welcome to the Silver Dollar Saloon, Colonel. Eat hearty. Well, well, well, well,
17:02
Speaker 4: what are you doing here, Bill?
17:04
Speaker 3: Oh, Mr. Floud, sir. I hope you don't think that
17:08
Speaker 3: I followed you here, sir. I thought you were on
17:11
Speaker 3: your way to the ranch.
17:12
Speaker 4: We are.
17:13
Speaker 7: Only we thought it wouldn't hurt none if we split a.
17:15
Speaker 4: Bottle of liquor first. Well, what's eating you, Bill? Sit down.
17:19
Speaker 3: It's very nice of you to cover an awkward situation
17:22
Speaker 3: like this, sir. But I must ask to be excused.
17:25
Speaker 4: Bill, what's he talking about? First time I ever seen
17:29
Speaker 4: Bill drunk.
17:29
Speaker 3: I am not drunk. I just want you to know, sir,
17:33
Speaker 3: that I have only... The kindliest feelings towards you both.
17:37
Speaker 4: Tight as a tick.
17:39
Speaker 3: And now, if you'll excuse me, I must catch my train.
17:42
Speaker 4: Train? Well, sit down here, Bill, and sober up.
17:46
Speaker 3: Please, sir, I am not in the least intoxicated. I
17:49
Speaker 3: am simply trying to tell you that you are undoubtedly
17:52
Speaker 3: justified in discharging me.
17:56
Speaker 4: We better humor him, Ma. Yeah. Who fired you, Bill? Oh, Mr.
18:00
Speaker 3: Belknap Jackson, sir. But naturally, he was speaking for the family...
18:05
Speaker 3: It's very kind of you to furnish transportation to San Francisco, sir.
18:08
Speaker 4: To what? Let me see that ticket. Ma, he means it.
18:13
Speaker 7: You mean that dude, Belknap Jackson, tried to fire you?
18:17
Speaker 3: Why, yes.
18:18
Speaker 4: Well, skin him alive. Now, remember, Ma, don't do nothing rash.
18:22
Speaker 4: He's your son-in-law.
18:23
Speaker 7: Oh, quit throwing that up to me.
18:26
Speaker 3: Then I am not.
18:27
Speaker 4: Why, Bill, we wouldn't fire you. Not even if you
18:31
Speaker 4: looked like Belknap Jackson.
18:33
Speaker 3: Ha, ha. I couldn't be happier, sir. Oh, yes, you could.
18:40
Speaker 4: Drink that. Oh, excuse me. I couldn't help overhearing.
18:45
Speaker 3: But will someone please tell me how Mr. Belknap Jackson could.
18:48
Speaker 2: Fire an important man like Colonel Ruggles?
18:51
Speaker 3: Fire him for what?
18:53
Speaker 7: Ah, ah, we spilled the beans that time.
18:56
Speaker 3: You may as well know, Mrs. Judson, that my introduction
18:59
Speaker 3: to Red Gap as Colonel Marmaduke Ruggles was a horrible mistake.
19:04
Speaker 3: I am no one.
19:06
Speaker 2: Oh, you must be somebody.
19:07
Speaker 3: No, I'm not. I am just a nobody.
19:09
Speaker 4: But don't tell anybody, Mrs.
19:10
Speaker 3: Judson. You mean you're just a plain, ordinary human being,
19:14
Speaker 3: same as us?
19:15
Speaker 4: Oh, I couldn't be happier. Well, come on, drink up, Bill,
19:18
Speaker 4: and then we're going to up and move you back
19:21
Speaker 4: in the house.
19:22
Speaker 3: Ah, but I don't want to go back, sir.
19:24
Speaker 4: What do you mean you don't want to go back?
19:26
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate all you have done for me, sir.
19:28
Speaker 3: But Mr. Belknap Jackson will never consider me more than
19:31
Speaker 3: dirt under his feet, you see. And this is America, sir,
19:36
Speaker 3: a land of freedom and equality. And I must take
19:42
Speaker 3: advantage of my opportunities, sir, like Lincoln did.
19:46
Speaker 4: We already got a president, Bill.
19:49
Speaker 3: Oh, I am not ambitious. for public office, madam, but
19:52
Speaker 3: I would like to become a part of this great country.
19:56
Speaker 4: You see, I want to be free and equal. Well,
20:01
Speaker 4: isn't that what America offers, I ask? You bet your
20:03
Speaker 4: boots it is. Now, look what it says in the Constitution. What? Well,
20:08
Speaker 4: I guess Lincoln put it as good as anybody that
20:11
Speaker 4: day at Gettysburg. Remember what he said? What'd he say? Why,
20:15
Speaker 4: he said, uh.
20:17
Speaker 3: He, uh.
20:18
Speaker 4: He said, uh.
20:20
Speaker 5: Uh, Sam!
20:21
Speaker 4: Sam? What did Lincoln say that day at Gettysburg?
20:24
Speaker 3: Who? Oh, him!
20:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, why, uh... Why, he said, he, uh... Hey, Curly.
20:31
Speaker 5: Yeah?
20:32
Speaker 2: What did Lincoln say at Gettysburg?
20:34
Speaker 4: Search me, ask Ike. He reads the papers. What did
20:38
Speaker 4: Lincoln say at Gettysburg? Hurry up before I come over
20:41
Speaker 4: and bust you one.
20:43
Speaker 3: Hey, Ed.
20:44
Speaker 4: What did Lincoln say at Gettysburg?
20:46
Speaker 5: I don't know.
20:46
Speaker 3: I wasn't there.
20:49
Speaker 4: Well, what kind of a saloon is this where nobody
20:52
Speaker 4: knows the answer to a simple little question like that?
20:55
Speaker 4: What are you mumbling about, Bill?
20:58
Speaker 3: Huh? Well, wait a minute.
21:00
Speaker 4: Wait a minute. That's it.
21:02
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Bill. Four score and seven years ago... our
21:08
Speaker 3: fathers brought forth on this continent... a new nation... conceived
21:13
Speaker 3: in liberty... and dedicated to the proposition... that all men
21:18
Speaker 3: are created equal. We are now engaged... in a great
21:24
Speaker 3: civil war... testing whether that nation... or any nation so
21:29
Speaker 3: conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met
21:36
Speaker 3: on a great battlefield of that war. We have come
21:40
Speaker 3: to dedicate a portion of that field as a final
21:44
Speaker 3: resting place for those who here gave their lives that
21:50
Speaker 3: that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper
21:56
Speaker 3: that we should do this, But in a larger sense,
22:01
Speaker 3: we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground.
22:09
Speaker 3: The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have
22:14
Speaker 3: consecrated it far beyond our poor power to add or detract.
22:24
Speaker 3: The world will little note nor long remember what we
22:28
Speaker 3: say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
22:36
Speaker 3: It is for us, the living rather, to be consecrated
22:41
Speaker 3: here to the unfinished work which they who fought here
22:47
Speaker 3: have thus far so nobly advanced it is rather for
22:55
Speaker 3: us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
23:01
Speaker 3: before us, that from these honored dead we take increased
23:10
Speaker 3: devotion to that cause for which they gave the last
23:18
Speaker 3: full measure of devotion, that We here highly resolve that
23:28
Speaker 3: these dead shall not have died in vain, that this
23:34
Speaker 3: nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom
23:43
Speaker 3: and that government of the people, by the people, and
23:51
Speaker 3: for the shall not perish from the earth.
24:05
Speaker 4: Well, darn my eyes, Bill. After that, I reckon you'll
24:09
Speaker 4: not ever go back to being a gent's gent. Why,
24:13
Speaker 4: darn it, you're a better American than we are.
24:15
Speaker 7: Of course he is, you silly old coot. He's better
24:19
Speaker 7: because he's new. The newest American is the best American. Well,
24:25
Speaker 7: ask any Indian.
24:26
Speaker 4: Doggone you, Ruggles, I'm furry, and so are all the boys.
24:32
Speaker 7: Ah, snakes and Gila monsters. Look who's come to crab
24:37
Speaker 7: the party.
24:37
Speaker 4: Bill Knapp, Jackson, now looky here. What are you pushy-footing
24:40
Speaker 4: around here for? I thought I paid your fare to
24:43
Speaker 4: San Francisco, Ruggles. Yes, you did, but I decided not
24:46
Speaker 4: to go.
24:47
Speaker 3: You heard him.
24:48
Speaker 7: He's free, 21, and an American citizen.
24:52
Speaker 3: Right-o. Well, then.
24:54
Speaker 4: I have a little surprise for you, Ruggles. Please, go
24:57
Speaker 4: away from me, will you? I just heard that your
24:59
Speaker 4: master is coming here to fetch you. What?
25:04
Speaker 3: It's true.
25:05
Speaker 4: Lord Brinstead arrived this morning. He's making the trip all
25:08
Speaker 4: the way to Red Gap just to take you back
25:11
Speaker 4: into service, Ruggles. Now. Yes, that's so. Well, I reckon
25:15
Speaker 4: old Bill will have something to say about that.
25:17
Speaker 3: What's the matter, Colonel?
25:19
Speaker 2: You look like you've seen a ghost.
25:20
Speaker 3: I haven't. Don't call me Colonel.
25:22
Speaker 4: Why?
25:24
Speaker 3: He's coming to get me. You see, I'm still his servant,
25:28
Speaker 3: and I should never have tried anything else.
25:30
Speaker 4: Naturally.
25:31
Speaker 3: Tell him you can't go. But you don't understand. The
25:33
Speaker 3: loyalty of my family to his lordship's family goes back
25:37
Speaker 3: many generations, Mrs. Judson. And so you're going to drop
25:40
Speaker 3: all this? Your chance to be free, to be your
25:43
Speaker 3: own man among men, just to keep some Englishman buttoned up? Now, Mrs. Judson, please.
25:51
Speaker 3: You see, just at this moment, I feel as if
25:53
Speaker 3: I should like to jump into the river. Well, all right.
25:55
Speaker 2: Go back to your old lordship and see if I can.
25:58
Speaker 3: And if you're thinking of jumping in the river, jump
26:01
Speaker 3: in it up by the bend. It's deeper there. You
26:04
Speaker 3: don't understand, Mrs. Judson. You don't. Get out of my
26:07
Speaker 3: way and stay out of it. I thought you were
26:09
Speaker 3: a man. But you're just a jellyfish.
26:13
Speaker 4: Colonel. Wow.
26:16
Speaker 7: Looks like that gal has her feelings hurt real bad.
26:21
Speaker 7: slammed the door, and almost shook her custard pudding right
26:25
Speaker 7: to water.
26:25
Speaker 4: Well, Ruggles, you'd better be getting your black suit on again.
26:30
Speaker 4: And while you're at it, put on your valet mask. Now,
26:33
Speaker 4: looky here.
26:34
Speaker 5: Wait a minute.
26:35
Speaker 4: What is all this talk about valet and everything? What's
26:38
Speaker 4: going on around here? See, Ruggles, retribution. I'll tell you.
26:43
Speaker 4: I'll tell you all the truth about this man. You
26:45
Speaker 4: have known him as Colonel Ruggles. Well, he's an imposter. Yes,
26:50
Speaker 4: until he began a life of fraud here in Red Gap,
26:54
Speaker 4: he was nothing but a valet, a man's servant to
26:58
Speaker 4: this Lord Brinstedt.
26:59
Speaker 3: And thank you very much for announcing what I intended
27:02
Speaker 3: to disclose myself. It is quite true that I was
27:06
Speaker 3: in his lordship's service for many years, and I am
27:08
Speaker 3: proud of my humble beginning. And I am proud, too,
27:11
Speaker 3: to begin again here in America. This time, I shall
27:15
Speaker 3: begin a free man. Now, with your permission, Sam, I
27:22
Speaker 3: will ask this gentleman to leave your saloon.
27:24
Speaker 4: Permission granted.
27:25
Speaker 5: You!
27:27
Speaker 4: You asked me to.
27:28
Speaker 3: No, no, no. I order you in the name of Sam.
27:30
Speaker 3: You see, this saloon caters only to the American spirit.
27:35
Speaker 3: And you do not represent the American spirit. You are
27:39
Speaker 3: a snob, sir. And a cat, sir. And the bounder, sir.
27:45
Speaker 4: Words fail me. Then grab that pudding, Bill, and give
27:49
Speaker 4: it to him.
27:50
Speaker 3: Oh, pudding.
27:51
Speaker 5: Yes, of course, madam.
27:52
Speaker 3: The pudding. Mrs. Judson's tempting pudding.
27:54
Speaker 4: You dare to touch me and I'll... You see there,
27:56
Speaker 4: you see, I did it and I'm glad.
28:08
Speaker 3: What on earth is happening? Madam, I very much regret
28:12
Speaker 3: that I had to use your magnificent pudding in a
28:14
Speaker 3: manner unbecoming a fine dessert.
28:16
Speaker 4: Phil, you did it. You came through.
28:18
Speaker 6: You finally bounced that suck-up snob.
28:21
Speaker 3: Madam, I have the honor to ask you to share
28:25
Speaker 3: my new life, madam.
28:28
Speaker 4: After seeing this, I'm ready for anything.
28:32
Speaker 3: Even marriage? Even that. Mrs. Colonel Ruggles of Red Gap.
28:43
Speaker 4: Meet Ruggles of Red Gap, everybody. Well, come on, Colonel.
28:51
Speaker 5: Say something.
28:51
Speaker 3: Oh, well, thank you, sir. So, I... Oh, you can fool.
28:58
Speaker 4: Some of the people all of the time, and all
29:02
Speaker 4: of the people some of the time, but you can't
29:06
Speaker 4: fool all.
29:07
Speaker 3: Of the people all of the time.
29:10
Speaker 5: Is that right?
29:13
Speaker 3: Oh! If you were to visit the squib laboratories, you
29:32
Speaker 3: could see vitamin D in the making. You'd have to
29:35
Speaker 3: put on dark glasses first, though, because you'd be shown
29:38
Speaker 3: a special lamp. a lamp so powerful that its ultraviolet
29:42
Speaker 3: light converts a substance with no vitamin D activity into
29:46
Speaker 3: a product with 18 million units of vitamin D per gram.
29:52
Speaker 3: That's more vitamin D effect than you can get from
29:55
Speaker 3: the direct rays of the sun on a hot summer day.
29:59
Speaker 3: The lab that makes vitamins at the Squibb Laboratories helps
30:02
Speaker 3: to supply America's babies with the extra vitamin D they need.
30:07
Speaker 3: It is estimated that 80% of all American babies are
30:11
Speaker 3: now given extra vitamin D. That's why the incidence of
30:15
Speaker 3: rickets is steadily diminishing. And at the Squibb Institute for
30:19
Speaker 3: Medical Research, scientists are constantly seeking new ways in which
30:25
Speaker 3: vitamin D and the other essential vitamins may serve mankind.
30:30
Speaker 3: It's one more example of Squibb's endless quest for perfection,
30:34
Speaker 3: one more reason why Squibb is a name you can trust.
30:51
Speaker 3: Next week, another great picture. The House of Squibb will
30:54
Speaker 3: present Academy Awards starring John Garfield in Pride of the Marines.
31:11
Speaker 3: Ruggles of Red Gap was written for radio by Frank
31:14
Speaker 3: Wilson with an original musical score composed and conducted by
31:18
Speaker 3: Leith Stevens. Our producer-director is Dee Engelbach. Charles Lawton can
31:23
Speaker 3: currently be seen in Universals because of him. Charlie Ruggles
31:27
Speaker 3: will soon be seen in Columbia's new picture, Gallant Journey.
31:31
Speaker 3: This is Hugh Brundage bidding you goodnight until next week
31:34
Speaker 3: at the same time when you're invited to listen again
31:36
Speaker 3: to Academy Award, presented by the House of.
31:40
Speaker 4: Squibb, a name you can't trust.
31:42
Speaker 3: This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
