Lux Radio Theatre - "Kitty Foyle" (Old Time Radio, 1941) · Lux Radio Theater | Old Time Radio

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Kitty Foyle, a young working woman, must choose between Dr.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Mark Eisen, the physician in her present life, and Winn Strafford,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the wealthy Philadelphia mainline man she has loved in the past.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: On May 5th, 1941, Lux Radio Theater presented episode 306,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Kitty Foyle, adapted from the 1940 RKO Radio Pictures film
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: based on Christopher Morley's novel. Ginger Rogers reprises her screen
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: role as Kitty with Dennis Morgan, James Craig, and Verna Felton.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: The drama moves between New York and Philadelphia as Kitty
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: confronts the differences between her own background and Wynn's social world.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: We now take you back to the original broadcast.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Lutz presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Ginger
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Rogers in Kitty Foyle with Dennis Morgan and James Craig.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Cecil B. DeMille.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The last time Ginger
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Rogers starred in the Lux Radio Theater... She went directly
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: from this stage to the preview of her picture, Kitty Foyle.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: We all wished her good luck, but by that time,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: luck had nothing to do with the case. Simple justice
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: gave her the applause of critics and public. And finally,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: the Motion Picture Academy Award for the finest performance by
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: any screen actress during the year. And tonight, as Ginger
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Rogers plays her greatest role for the first time on
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: the air, she has the same two leading men you
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: saw in the picture, Dennis Morgan and James Craig Christopher
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Morley called his novel the natural history of a woman,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and the archaeo picture was exactly that. Few stories can
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: take an audience so close to the inner secrets of
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a woman's heart, and certainly no woman ever had a
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: more sympathetic portrayal than Ginger Rogers gives Kitty Foyle. An
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Academy Award is a recognition of the highest in quality,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: and we've tried to make every detail of our production
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: match that. Of course, to start with, we had Luxe Flakes,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: There's no question about quality there. And I believe the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: whole company has outdone itself to make this an unforgettable
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: premiere here in the Lux Radio Theater tonight. You've inspired
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: that effort by your genuine interest in every activity of
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: this theater. And your loyalty to our product has told
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: us better than anything else how sincere that interest really is.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: The reward we offer is the best plays and stars
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: that we can find. And as far as Lux Flakes
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: is concerned... as fine a product as modern science can devise.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And now for the finest that Hollywood can devise. We
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: raise the curtain on the first act of Kitty Foyle,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: starring Ginger Rogers as Kitty Foyle, Dennis Morgan as Wynne,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: and James Craig as Mark.
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: Doesn't female independence mean anything to you girls?
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: After all, what's the difference between men bachelors and girl bachelors?
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Men bachelors are that way on purpose.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: That was Kitty Foyle speaking. Kitty is young and pretty,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: but very wise, too. She works at Delphine's Beauty Salon
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: in New York, where, in the employee's locker room, the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: girl's conversation turns invariably to one subject, the male of
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the species. Now it's 5.30, and the girls slip through
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the door to join the scurrying crowds on Fifth Avenue. Kitty,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: trim and inviting, stands near the curb, her coat collar
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: turned up high against the driving snow. A taxi pulls
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: up quickly, and a young man hops out.
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: Sorry I'm late, Kitty, but we got a couple of
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: emergency cases to hospital, and I had to stay.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Been waiting long?
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: No, just got here.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Come on, get in. Step on it, driver. I'm in
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: a hurry.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Say, you must be as hungry as I am.
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: Well, I'm afraid you're going to get a little hungrier,
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: because I've got to catch another case first.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Before dinner, Mark.
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: Yes, emergency. Over in the tenement district. Matter of fact,
• 4:30
  Speaker 7: we're racing the stork right this minute.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: Well, I hope we win. Now, now, now. The world's
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: not that bad, is it?
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: Oh, it is.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: You were awful pretty anyway.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: All finished.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, how's the mother doing?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: Pretty well. Kitty, you have no idea how right you
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: look with a baby in your arms.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: I know how right I feel. What's his name?
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Well, they haven't decided. Well, you see, there isn't any father.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: Might have been better if he hadn't pulled through.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Don't say that, Mark. It's always better to pull through.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: There's something about the way you said that that makes me... Kitty,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: will you take this ring? I mean, will you marry me?
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Mark!
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: You see, I've got a lot of money tied up
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: in this little hoop. And, well, there's no other way
• 5:30
  Speaker 7: I can get any use out of it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Well, Kitty?
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Mark, can you... Find my finger in all these blankets.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: Let me get something straight. You did say yes, didn't you?
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's all clear and there's no confusion. You
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: understood what I asked you.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: You asked me to marry you, didn't you?
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: That's it, exactly.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: I got it. That's why I said yes.
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: Well, what I'm getting around to is that fellow in Philadelphia.
• 6:01
  Speaker 7: Is that all over with?
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: All over, Mark.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: You're not kidding yourself, are you? It wouldn't do either
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: of us any good if you weren't sure about it.
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: I'm sure, darling.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Then we're getting married tomorrow.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: Why, doctor.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: Look, I've got to go back to the hospital now,
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: but I'll check out at midnight. You meet me there
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: with your bags packed, and we'll go straight to Gretna Green.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Gretna Green? Sure.
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: They've got a justice apiece that stays open all night,
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: just like a drugstore. Can you be ready by then?
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: And who says I can't?
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: Okay, then meet me at St. Timothy's Hospital at 12
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: smack on the dot.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: 12 smack on the dot, St. Timothy's.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: Driver, Pocahontas Hotel for Women, West 34th Street. But it's
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: the last time you'll have to take her there, I
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: promise you that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: Hello, Kitty.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: Kitty.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: When?
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: Surprised to see me?
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: What are you doing out of Philadelphia on a night
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: like this? How did you get in here? Men aren't
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: allowed in this hotel, you know.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: The operator in the back elevator is corrupt.
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: Oh, when? Why did you come?
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: You sent for me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: I sent for you? This ring.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: The one I gave you. I told you if you
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: ever needed me or wanted me, send it back.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Oh, I forgot that isn't what I meant.
• 7:25
  Speaker 10: What?
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: I sent the ring back because that was all. That
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: was the end.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Don't say that, Kitty.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, but it's true, Wynne. You'll have to go.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: I can't go. Not until I've told you something. I'm
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: sailing at midnight.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Where?
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: South America, Buenos Aires. To live there.
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: With your wife? Alone.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Unless you'll go with me. I've broken away for good.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: There's no life for me without you. I want you.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: I need you. I love you this minute as I've
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: never loved you before.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, but when? It's too late. Five years. Too late.
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: It'll never be too late, Kitty. What we've had can't die.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: You haven't forgotten, have you?
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Oh, I thought I had. I was sure I had.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: No, darling. We must never forget any of it. Kitty, I...
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: I haven't much to offer, except me. I... tried to
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: get a divorce, but I couldn't. I wish it were different,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: but that's the way it is.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: I see.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Whatever you decide, I am sailing anyway. I'm hoping, I'm
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: asking that we'll leave together and be together always.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Oh, Wynne, don't ask me anything. Don't let me think.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Just take me with you.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Darling.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: When do we go?
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: We sail at midnight. I'll be at the pier with
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: everything arranged. Will you meet me there?
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, Wynne.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Kitty, I love you. I'll have to hurry to get
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: everything done. Don't be late.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, when? When you didn't tell me what boat or pier.
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Just like it always was. When I look at you,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I can't think of anything else. It's Pier 48. Goodbye, darling.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Don't be late.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: I won't. I'll be there ten minutes ahead of time.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Pier 48. Midnight. Pier 48. You're making a mistake, you know.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: What?
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Here I am, over here in the mirror. I'm you,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Kitty Foyle. And I think you're making a mistake. Am I?
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: You're that little girl on the sleigh ride. Trouble is,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: you're no longer a little girl. You're a grown woman now.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: I'm only 24. You're 26. Don't try to kid me. Well,
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: I'm not old anyway. And I know what I'm doing.
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: It's a very unsatisfactory role you're preparing to play, even
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: under the best of circumstances. We'll just have to face it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Correction.
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: You'll have to face it. Married people face things together,
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: but you won't be married. Did you ever think of
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: it that way? Marriage isn't everything. What is it anyway?
• 10:05
  Speaker 5: It's just a piece of paper like any other legal document.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: A lot of pretty fine things come out of that
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: piece of paper, Kitty. A home, children. You'd be a
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: lot happier with Mark and that little piece of paper
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: than you ever could be with Winn. And a snug
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: little apartment with a key for him and a key
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: for you. You know what I think? I think you're wrong.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: I remember you using those same words before. Way back
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: when you lived in a little house on Griscombe Street
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: in Philadelphia. That's where Pop brought you up, and what
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: a grand guy he was. It was the night of
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: the Philadelphia Assembly. You were about 15 then. A gawky,
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: long-legged kid. He came home late, trying to sneak past
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: the parlor and up the stairs without Pop seeing him.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: But he saw you all right.
• 10:56
  Speaker 11: Kitty, Kitty, come in here.
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: Hello, Pop, I was just.
• 10:59
  Speaker 11: Come here.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: I was just.
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: I know what you were just doing. The assembly's tonight.
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: And you were downtown gazing at those rich mainliners, parading
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: into the Bellevue Stratford and getting silly ideas.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: No, I wasn't, Pop. Really, I was watching.
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: Judy, you've got to get this trash out of your head.
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: Get your mind off of that Tommy Rotten of society page.
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: But it's not Tommy Rotten, Pop. It's not more Tommy
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: Rotten than the Lady of Shalott.
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: Who's she?
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: You know. And sometimes through the mirror blue, the nights
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: came riding two by two. She hath no loyal knight
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: and true, the Lady of Shalott.
• 11:36
  Speaker 10: Judas Priest!
• 11:37
  Speaker 9: If you're not reading about those mainline monkeys, you've got
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: your head stuck in a Cinderella book.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: Well, the Lady of Shalott wasn't exactly Cinderella, but it
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: was the same idea. Oh, Pop, it must be wonderful.
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, after you've been sitting in ashes all
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: of your life and then all of a sudden a
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: prince comes along.
• 11:58
  Speaker 9: Judas Priest, if ever a man deserved to be hung
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: since the fellow who started that Cinderella stuff. Putting crazy
• 12:05
  Speaker 9: ideas into girls' heads. Why, they're the ruination of more
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: girls than 40 actors.
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: I don't see why there's so much ruination about it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after. Always do.
• 12:17
  Speaker 11: Yes, and that's where those writing fellas are smart, too.
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: They always end the story before it really begins. And
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: that's the reason I'm going to get all this junk
• 12:26
  Speaker 9: about the main line in the Philadelphia Assembly out of
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: your head.
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: So that you won't make.
• 12:30
  Speaker 11: A fool out of yourself later on.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: You know what I think, Pop? I think you're wrong. Well,
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: time moved on, and skirts got six inches longer, and
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: they stopped playing Sonny Boy and took up Who's Afraid
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: of the Big Bad Wolf, and then, boom, came the Depression.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: And you had to trade in a few of those
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: dreams for a volume of Greg Shorthand, remember? You finally
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: got a diploma from the Vesey School of Business, but
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: you were still one of the vast army of unemployed
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: until 1932, October 23rd. That's when you went to work
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: for Wynn Strafford. Wynwood Strafford VI. A true prince of
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: the main line. Instead of a white horse, he had $ 10, 000
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: his family had given him to start a magazine. Poor Wynn.
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: He did so much want to do something on his own.
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: You'd been there about two months.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Miss Foyle, this isn't quite right.
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: What's the matter?
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: This letter you typed for me, it's wrong. The use
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: of Esquire in business is a New York affectation and
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: very bad taste.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: But I've seen letters come to your address, Mr. Winwood Strafford-esque.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: From New Yorkers, perhaps. It's still wrong.
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: Well, then I've certainly seen them just plain-esque. Say, how
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: does a person get to be an Esquire, anyway?
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. He just is.
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Pop says you get to be an Esquire if you
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: can sit on one animal and chase another.
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: Did I sound stuffy? I'm sorry.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: Pardon me.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: Okay, get stuff for yourself. I've said I'm sorry. Did
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: you get my column off the dictaphone?
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Yes, and it's... What?
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: Nothing.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Go ahead. What about it? Don't be afraid.
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: I was just thinking about the way your voice sounds
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: on the dictaphone. You know who it sounds like?
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: No. Who?
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: Ronald Coleman.
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: Huh.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Uncanny.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: I played the record over and over again, and it's lovely.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: That's funny.
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Yes. So different from what it is, actually.
• 14:26
  Speaker 10: Huh.
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: Hmm.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: Ronald Coleman, eh? Do you really think it's true, Miss Foyle,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: that my voice sounds rather like that of Mr. Coleman? Ah, Shangri-La,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Miss Foyle.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Foil, foil, boil an oil.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: And furthermore, it might be wise if... Oh, oh, come in,
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Miss Foyle, I... I was just trying a little dictation
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: on the machine.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: I'd just like to say I'm sorry. I was fresh before.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't notice it.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: Well, I was, and I'm sorry.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's quite all right.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: Oh, you want to run that record off now?
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, thanks. I was just figuring how it worked. Well,
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: I'll show you.
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: It's really very.
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: It's not at all necessary, really. Don't you think you'd
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: better pop out to lunch?
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: Only take ten seconds. Besides, what am I here for?
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: Really, Miss Foyle, there's no need to.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: There, and you turn it on here, and then.
• 15:22
  Speaker 11: Do.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: You really think it's true, Miss Foyle, that my voice
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: sounds rather like that of Mr.
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: Coleman's?
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: Ah, Shangri-La, Miss Foyle.
• 15:31
  Speaker 11: Foyle, Foyle, boil an oil.
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Roses are red. Violets are blue. Miss Foyle has nice legs.
• 15:40
  Speaker 12: I love you.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Is that all? And I'll thank you, Miss Foyle, not
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: to look so beautiful during conferences. We have difficulties enough
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: getting this magazine out without disturbing the personnel, particularly myself.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: I think I will go out to lunch after all.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Now, wait a minute, please. Let me explain, will you?
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Win-win, boiling gin.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: I'm terribly sorry. Really, I never intended. I mean, I
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: was simply testing, you know, like on the radio.
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: Will you please let me out?
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: Miss Foyle, wait. I want to give you some dictation
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: before you go. Sit down, please.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Well....
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Ah, let's see. Inter-office memo to Miss Foyle. I'm... I'm
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: sorry I said you're too beautiful.
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: But you are.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry I said you disturb me. But you do.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry you seem to think I'm making love to you.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: But I am.
• 16:46
  Speaker 11: There's no getting around it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Those were probably the happiest days in your whole life.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: Days when you and Wynne were still learning those little
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: things about each other that make two ordinarily normal people
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: a little daffy when they're together. Like the first time
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: you went to New York, remember? He took you to Jono's.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: They had to have a car to get in in
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: those days. They had a radio running full blast to
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: get the election returns. Ah, Mr.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: Strafford, I have this one bottle. I save it just
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: for you. Thanks, Jono.
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: Strega?
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Strega.
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: What's strega?
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: It's Italian brandy. They say that if two people drink
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: it together, they'll never drink it apart.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: How cozy.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Why so solemn, Kitty?
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, I was just wondering.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: What about?
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Why did you bring me to New York?
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: I thought you'd like it. Why?
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: Because.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Well, you see, when I was going to school in Manitou, Illinois,
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: it was a very small town and everybody else knew
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: everybody else's business. So when a man wanted to take
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: somebody out and he didn't care very much about being
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: seen with her, he always took her up to Chicago.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: I see.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: But that's not it. I wanted to make a good
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: impression on you. So I brought you where I thought
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: I most likely could do it.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry if I.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: Kitty, I've got an idea. Will you go at the
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: assembly with me this year?
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Are you kidding?
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I mean it, Kitty. This isn't just a gesture. I
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: want you to come, please.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Oh, Wynne. Have you ever had a dream come to
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: life right in front of your very eyes?
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: No, but I haven't given up hope. Is it a date?
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: I'm crazy, I know, but it's a date.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: Kitty, lean close to me. I've got to kiss you.
• 18:31
  Speaker 13: Attention, everybody.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: Republican National Headquarters have just conceded that the next president
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: of the United States will be Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
• 18:43
  Speaker 13: Hooray! Hooray!
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: Hey, what are you celebrating about? Hoover didn't win?
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I'm celebrating our first kiss.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're crazy.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Come on, we're getting out of here.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Hey, what's the idea?
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Roosevelt's horning in on my celebration. We're going to Lake
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Pocono to see the sunset.
• 18:57
  Speaker 14: But we're too late.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: It's already set. Okay. We'll see the moon rise.
• 19:02
  Speaker 13: Come on.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: Yes? Tell me where we are.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: We're in the Pocono Mountains, situated in the state of Pennsylvania,
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: sitting in front of a fireplace. Talking of nothing.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: No, but where are we really? In heaven?
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: No.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: No?
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: In love.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, tell me about love.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: First, there was a man. And just as soon as
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: he had time to learn his way about, there was
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: a woman.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Was the woman beautiful? Very.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: She had red hair, and her nose went like so.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: and her eyes, they were as blue-green as the sea itself.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Looked quite a bit like me, huh?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Well, her voice didn't sound so much like music, and
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: her eyes didn't trap the starlight one half as cleverly,
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: and she wasn't nearly so beautiful.
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: And what did the man and the woman do?
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Well, at first they just hung around. They didn't take
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: any notice of each other at all. Oh, maybe a
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: grunt now and then. But certainly nothing more. And then
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: one night, a strange thing happened.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: What?
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: The man and woman were sitting in front of a fire.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: The firelight played upon the woman's face. And the man,
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: for the first time, saw how beautiful she was. Looking
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: into her eyes, he suddenly beheld... All the wonders of life.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: So immediately he made love to her.
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: How?
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Well, first he bent down over her and rubbed her
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: nose with his. Like this.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: Didn't the woman object?
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: No.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: She loved him, too.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Because he was everything that she had ever dreamed of.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: Maybe.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Oh, let me see. Where was I?
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: You were just about to kiss me.
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: Did he?
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Pop, what are you doing up? Didn't Dr. Cartwright tell
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: you to stay in bed?
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: Dr.
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: Cartwright is a quack.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Char, char, and who said he wasn't? Now get over
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: on that couch and stay there.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: Oh, all right.
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: I'm going to the office and I'll be out for
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: dinner tonight, but I'll come home first.
• 21:38
  Speaker 10: Kitty.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, Pop?
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: Have you got time to sit down a minute?
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: What's on your mind, Pop?
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: Wind strafford.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: Kitty, I don't know how much longer I'm going to
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: be around here.
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Pop.
• 21:47
  Speaker 9: And I don't know how much good I could do anyway. Kitty,
• 21:50
  Speaker 9: I thought I had all this junk rooted out of
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: your mind.
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: What junk?
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: Cinderella and her blasted prince. Don't you see, Kitty? It's
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: no good.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: Pop, you might as well try to argue me out
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: of a case of bronchitis because that's the way it is.
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: I love him.
• 22:05
  Speaker 10: Judas Priest.
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: You said it.
• 22:07
  Speaker 10: You mean you want to marry him?
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: Has he ever asked you yet?
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: No, but.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: No, but.
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: And he never will.
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: But he loves me, Pop. I know it. And I'll
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: let you in on a little secret. A man can always...
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: A woman can always tell when a man's going to propose.
• 22:22
  Speaker 11: You mean woman's instinct. Judas Priest, now there's a real
• 22:26
  Speaker 11: piece of idiocy.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Goodbye.
• 22:27
  Speaker 11: Woman's instinct.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Goodbye, darling. I've got to go to work. So long, Pop. Now,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: don't worry about it. I'll take care of myself.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: Take care of yourself. By Judas Priest, you're going to
• 22:41
  Speaker 10: break your heart.
• 22:44
  Speaker 13: You're in the office.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: Already, Wynn? That's not like you.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Morning, darling.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: What's the matter?
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: You ever heard of a thing like the Depression?
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: Yes, isn't it disgusting? It always comes around when people
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: are so broke.
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: Well, it's here, right here in this office. Our little
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: magazine's folding up Saturday.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, Wynn.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: Your boss is a flop.
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: Well, don't say that, darling, because it's not true. Well,
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: sit down and tell me about it.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Ah, there's not much to tell. I got the idea
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: for this rag because, well, I didn't like following the
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: family in the groove. I still do. I thought this
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: might be the answer if I could swing it, but
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: I couldn't.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Oh, now, listen to me, Wynn. I don't like this
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: flop stuff from you. You're a nice big boy with
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: the right number of arms and hands and legs and
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: plenty of brains, and you needn't expect me to break
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: into tears over the first little setback you get.
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: But don't you see I'm... I'm washed up.
• 23:39
  Speaker 5: Wynne Strafford, if you talk like that again, I give
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: you my word, I'll pop you right in the nose. Oh,
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: you're different, Wynne. You're going somewhere.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: What about you? Me? What will you do?
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's right.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: I'm out of a job. I'd forgotten about that. Well,
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: I might get one in New York. A friend of
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: mine lives up there.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: I can't let you do that. Why not? Because it's
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: just silly, that's all. Bye. Besides, we'd be too far apart.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: Well, it isn't China.
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Kitty, this is kind of delicate, but.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, go on.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Your father's pretty sick. You're all alone, and it's too
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: much for you to handle. What I mean is I
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: feel I'm kind of responsible. So, well, until you can
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: get another job, boy, you won't have to worry about money.
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: What do you mean?
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: I'll just keep you on the payroll. It's only fair,
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: you know, because I....
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: I'm free white and 21. Almost. And I'll love you
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: from here on out. Until I stop loving you. But
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: nobody owes a thing to Kitty Foyle. Except Kitty Foyle. Well,
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: I'm home, Pop. I guess you win. It was just
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: like you said, Pop. One of us couldn't make the grade.
• 25:23
  Speaker 8: Pop.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: Pop, do you hear me? Are you asleep? Pop.
• 25:32
  Speaker 11: Pop.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: Pop, wake up!
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Pop! Oh, Pop!
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: Mr.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: DeMille brings us Act II of Kitty Foyle, starring Ginger Rogers,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Dennis Morgan, and James Craig, in just a moment. And now,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Lou Silvers is going to illustrate for us one fact
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: about New Quick Luxe Flakes. See if you can guess
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: what it is. Thanks a lot, Lou, for playing that
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: familiar tune two different ways. First, very slowly, then three
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: times as fast. You see, that's a way of telling
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: our audience one difference between New Quick Lux and other
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: leading soaps. In water as cool as your hand, it
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: dissolves three times as fast as any of ten other
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: leading soaps tested Not just twice as fast, three times
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: as fast. Yes, and that's not all. New Quick Lux
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: is thrifty, too. Gives such rich, abundant suds that a
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: little goes a long, long way. And of course, it's
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: pure and gentle. Has no harmful alkali to fade colors
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: or hurt fabrics. It's safe for anything safe in water alone. Speed, thrift,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: and safety are three good reasons why New Quick Lux
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: is America's favorite care for nice things. Why twice as
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: many women use Lux for pretty washables as use any
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: other flakes, chips, or beads. Be sure to keep a
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: big box handy all the time to keep your nice
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: things lovely longer. Quick, thrifty, Lux way. We pause now
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: for station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
• 27:36
  Speaker 13: Act II of Kitty Foyle, starring Ginger Rogers as Kitty Foyle,
• 27:41
  Speaker 13: Dennis Morgan as Wynne, and James Craig as Mark.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Kitty Foyle has told Wynn Strafford that she will sail
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: with him to South America. In her hotel room, as
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: she packs her grips, the voice of her conscience will
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: not be still. It bites deep into her soul, reviewing
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: her life up to this moment.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: After Pop died, it was goodbye to Philadelphia and all
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: that part of your life. And why New York? All right, kid,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: let's face it. It was because New York reminded you
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: of Wynn. You hoped he'd come and find you. That
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: was when you started to work for Delphine Detaille selling
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: seductive perfumes to fat women. Then came the day when
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: you punched a button that was supposed to ring the
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: stock room, remember? How did you know it was the
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: fire alarm? Oh, my gosh, I guess I did something wrong.
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: You said it, sister. Well, do what I do. You
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: don't want to lose your job. Just faint.
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: Well, here I go, baby.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Oh, she fainted.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Well, get a doctor. Get a doctor.
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: Miss Delphine, the ambulance is here.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay. Where's the patient?
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: Right over there, doctor, lying on the floor.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: What happened to her?
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: She just fainted.
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: Thanks.
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: Stand back, please.
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: Mm-hmm.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Pulse normal. Respiration normal. Let's see. Any bones broken?
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: What's the matter? Hurt when I push your ribs?
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: Hey, lay off, lay off.
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: Oh, faking, eh?
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, now be a good guy and go away.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: I've got just the thing here for what ails you.
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: A nice long hypo needle.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Listen, you dope there. nothing wrong with me, and I'll
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: lose my job if they find out I turned in
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: that fire alarm.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: Well, maybe we better talk it over. How about a
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: date tonight?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: No.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'll try to inject this needle so it won't
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: hurt you much.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: If you do, I'll scream.
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: And lose your job?
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: All right, you win.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: It's a date? Yes. Where do you live?
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: 1622 Rexhill, apartment 317.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Eight o'clock, all right?
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: It's a little late for dinner, isn't it?
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: We'll make it eight o'clock, just the same.
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: If you're right, doctor. Here, here is water. Hold her
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: head up.
• 30:07
  Speaker 11: Ah, there.
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: Now, now, that helped.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: Coming.
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: Good evening.
• 30:12
  Speaker 13: Good evening.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: And how is our little patient this evening?
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: If you have reference to me, all right.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, I'm fine, too.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Who asked?
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: Mind if I step in? Thanks. Hmm, I see you've
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: got your coat on.
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: And my hat. Shall we go?
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: You know, once you get to thinking about it, that
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: was a very funny way we met this afternoon.
• 30:43
  Speaker 5: Now, wait a minute, Doctor. I agreed to a date,
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: and I'm going to keep my word. But if you
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: think I'm going to sit here and join you in
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: a jolly laugh over that trick of yours, you're on
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: the wrong trapeze.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry.
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: I just thought we might sit around and reminisce. It's
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: a nice little place you got here.
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: Nice place we've got here. I share it with two
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: other girls.
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: Oh. In times like these, what could be better?
• 31:01
  Speaker 5: Oh, pardon me.
• 31:02
  Speaker 15: I just want to get my cold cream.
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: Thank you.
• 31:05
  Speaker 15: I'll be in the bathroom if you want me, Kitty.
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: Was that one of them?
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: That's Molly. I'm sorry I forgot to introduce you.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Never give it a second thought, but.
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: Excuse me, but did you see my orange stick? Oh, Pat,
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: this is... Oh, here it is. This is Dr., uh, uh,
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Miss Day, Dr... How.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Do you do?
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Pleased to meet you. Sorry for intruding.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Say, what is this, a gag?
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: What's the matter?
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: Well, all of those instruments sticking up out of their hair.
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: Oh, those are curlers. The girls are just relaxed, that's all.
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: Well, I've seen better specimens in glass jars.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: Well, what's your program, Doctor?
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: Well, you like to play cards?
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: No, and besides, we haven't any.
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: Well, that's a funny thing, but just as chance would
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: have it, I've got a couple of decks right here
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: in my pocket.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: Now, isn't that a coincidence?
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: Yes, isn't it? Double solitaire?
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Thank you, I just love it.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: Well, I win again. Let's see. That's 17 games to three.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: Swell coffee.
• 32:08
  Speaker 5: It's a little too strong. It's been keeping me awake.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: Do you mind my asking you something? I thought we
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: had a date tonight.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Well, what do you think's been going on here for
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: the last three hours?
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: Well, for one thing, I've slowly grown to hate you.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Me? But why?
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: Because I'm hungry. Because I thought you were going to
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: take me out to dinner.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: But how could I when all I got's a dime?
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: Well, we could go out and spend that.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: You've taken an awful beating, haven't you?
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: You ought to know.
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Well, I don't know how to tell you this, but
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: all of this has been kind of a test.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: You mean you were testing me?
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: Now, don't make it sound so awful. It's just that
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: the girl I fall for mustn't be a gold digger.
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: I simply haven't got the.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Dough for it.
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: So I've always told myself I'd never fall for one
• 32:55
  Speaker 7: unless I could get to liking her without spending any money.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: That's just for the first evening, understand?
• 32:59
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm. Well, then, how did I come out?
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Well, uh, you're okay.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: I'd like to point out that anything I did to
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: prove that to you was purely unintentional.
• 33:10
  Speaker 10: I know that.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: But, uh, how about going to the movies Friday night?
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: Sorry I can't afford it.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Oh, forget that. I'll pay.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: Coal oil Johnny, eh?
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: And a bus, both ways.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: Well, I never thought I'd fall for a flashy front,
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: but okay, it's a date.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Good night.
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Good night.
• 33:34
  Speaker 11: Hurry up, Kitty.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: There's a bus coming.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: All set. I want him to get a paper. What
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: do you still.
• 33:39
  Speaker 15: Buy the Philadelphia paper for?
• 33:41
  Speaker 16: You haven't been back there for almost a year.
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, I just like to keep up with the old town,
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: I guess. You mean you like to keep up with
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: the old boyfriend. Molly, look. Philadelphia prepares for annual assembly tonight.
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: The assembly... Wynne will be there in his shining armor.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: And you'll be going out with Mark in his shining stethoscope.
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: Come on.
• 34:08
  Speaker 11: What is this?
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Don't ask me.
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: The joint's filled with flowers.
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: Why, they've been coming in all afternoon. I don't know
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: who sent them.
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: Look, there's ten telegrams.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: They're all unsigned. It's Wynne. It's Wynn. I know it's Wynn.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: The knight himself. Please, kids, please beat it.
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'll take the bathroom. And I'll take the terrace.
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Out of there. Come in.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Hello, darling.
• 34:34
  Speaker 15: Oh, my.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: Wynn.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: Kitty.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, Wynn, darling. I just got in and I saw
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: all these flowers and I just knew... Oh, I knew that... Oh,
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: how did you find me?
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: I just followed my heartbeats. Shall I go outside while
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: you change your dress?
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: My dress? Yes.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: We have a date tonight for the assembly, remember? Only
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: ours is going to be right here in New York.
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Oh, Wayne.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Kitty, I think I forgot to tell you.
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: Tell me what?
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: How much I love you.
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: Well, how much do you love me?
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: If I said as much as you love me, would
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: that be enough?
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: Oh, darling, if that were true, there wouldn't be enough
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: love left for anyone else in the whole world.
• 35:10
  Speaker 7: Hey, how much longer do we keep this place open?
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Don't ask me. I only lead the orchestra. That guy
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: over there has rented the joint till 5 a.m. That's
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: when some dance in Philadelphia ends.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: And to think that only 24 hours ago it started
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: out just like any other old day in the year.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Kitty.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: Yes, Winn?
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: Kitty, I brought something for you. It's just an old ring,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: but I'd like you to have it.
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's pretty. What is it, an heirloom?
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: It was my great-grandmother's. You see that design? It's a
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: symbol of eternal life, from her to me and you,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: to those that come after us forever. It's our family.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: Oh, well, you better put it away, then, if it's
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: family stuff.
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: Boys, can you play Tales from the Vienna Woods? Yeah,
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: but feebly. I don't know why I should need all
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: this background, but, Kitty, will you marry me?
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Oh, Wynne. Will you? No, dear.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: Don't you love me? Yes. But you won't marry me.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: But why not?
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: Oh, Wynne, darling, we're happy now, aren't we? I mean, here,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: this minute.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Of course we are.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: You know why?
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Because we love each other. Because we're together.
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: No, that's not it. It's... Because we're not in Philadelphia.
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Now, look, honey, this is no time for bum jokes.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: In New York, we're happy. At Pocono, we're happy. In
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: Seattle and New Orleans and Dallas, Texas, we could be happy,
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: but not in Philadelphia. In Philadelphia, you're Dobby Mill, and
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: I'm Briscombe Street. We're two addresses, 23 miles and 500
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: light years apart.
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: And is that all?
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: We're the same color, if that's what you mean.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: All right, then. It's all fixed. We'll be New Yorkers
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: from now on, both of us.
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: Are you kidding, Wynne?
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: No, darling, I mean it. This is where we'll live,
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: where we'll be happy.
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm happy already. I'm so happy I can't tell
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: you how much. Oh, kiss me, Wynne. I hope the
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: alarm doesn't ring for just a little while longer. I
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: do want life to be beautiful just as it is now.
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: And so you were married, Mr. and Mrs. Wynwood Strafford VI. Remember,
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: you read it over and over when Wyn wrote it
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: on the register of that little hotel in Gretna Green.
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: There's no use denying it. Those two days were just
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: about perfect. And then you went back to Philadelphia to
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: tell Wyn's family.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: After you, Mrs.
• 38:14
  Speaker 10: Strafford.
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: Good evening, Mr. Strafford. How are you, Harrison? Where's Mother?
• 38:18
  Speaker 11: You'll find the whole family having tea in the drawing.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Room, sir. Come on, Kitty. Don't let old Uncle Kenneth
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: scare you. He's an old Quaker banker. Only knows three words.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: Thee thou know. Go ahead.
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: Oh, won't you have some more tea, then?
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: I'm sure.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Hello, everybody.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Wendy, come in.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: You remember Kitty, Mother?
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: Indeed I do.
• 38:39
  Speaker 5: It's so nice to see you again, Miss Foyle. Thank you.
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: You remember my grandmother? Yes. Aunt Jessica, Uncle Edgar and
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: Uncle Kenneth.
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: How do you do?
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Happy to see thee again, Miss Foyle. The fact is,
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: the name isn't Foyle anymore. It's Stratford. Kitty and I
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: have been married. Married? Well, why don't you say something?
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: Well, you'll have to forgive me, but I just wasn't
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: prepared for such news. When were you married, dear?
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: Last Saturday.
• 39:07
  Speaker 8: But I thought you were going to send her to
• 39:08
  Speaker 8: school first.
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: Mother.
• 39:11
  Speaker 14: My dear, Wynne has already told us how much he
• 39:13
  Speaker 14: loves you, and we couldn't have been happier for his sake.
• 39:16
  Speaker 8: But I thought he was going to wait for a year.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, Mother.
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: You understand, of course, that about everything else, we want
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: you and Wynne to be happy. That's first and foremost
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: in all our thoughts. I don't want to seem rude, but...
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: would somebody mind telling me what you all are driving at? Well,
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: it's only this, my dear.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: I'll tell her, Molly. You see, honey, I promised that
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't marry you for a year. Mother was going
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: to take you under her wing and, well, prepare you.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Prepare me for what?
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: Oh, you know, some school, some good finishing school.
• 39:47
  Speaker 8: School?
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: Are you kidding me?
• 39:49
  Speaker 14: Oh, it needn't be a school, and it can still
• 39:51
  Speaker 14: be done. Later on, we can have a proper wedding.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: And what do you call what we've just done?
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: A rehearsal? Now, wait a minute, Kitty.
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: Doesn't she want to go to school?
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: School is out, definitely. I'm a big girl now. Wynne
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: and I are not going to live in Philadelphia. I'm
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: Griskin Street, and he's Mainline, and we both know it.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: In Philadelphia, that's fatal. Anywhere else in the world, it
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: doesn't make a nickel's worth of difference, and so that's
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: where we're going to live. Anywhere else in the world.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: That's right, isn't it, Wynne?
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Of course it is, dear, but it seems to me
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: we could.
• 40:19
  Speaker 8: This is all very provoking.
• 40:21
  Speaker 17: But, Miss Foyle, thou must realize that such a thing
• 40:24
  Speaker 17: is impossible.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: Why?
• 40:26
  Speaker 17: It happens that the Stratford money is a trust fund
• 40:28
  Speaker 17: established by family wills. They provide that Wynne, when he
• 40:33
  Speaker 17: takes unto himself a wife, shall reside in Derby Mill
• 40:36
  Speaker 17: and assume his duties as an officer of the family bank.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Now, those terms are irrevocable.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: And if Wynne refuses?
• 40:43
  Speaker 17: In that case, his inheritance would pass into the family trust.
• 40:46
  Speaker 5: So what? So Wynn isn't rich anymore. So what is
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: that to me? I didn't marry him for his money.
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: I don't care if he hasn't got a penny.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: But, Miss Foyle, thou art not being quite reasonable about this.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: Says thou.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Miss Foyle, thy temper. Mr. Kennett, thy foot.
• 40:59
  Speaker 5: Let's get a few things straight around here. I didn't
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: ask to marry a Stratford. A Stratford asked to marry me.
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: I married a man, not an institution or a trust
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: fund or a bank. Oh, I've got a fine picture
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: of your family conference here. All the Straffords trying to
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: figure out how to take the curse off Kitty Foyle,
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: buy the girl a phony education, and polish off the
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: rough edges and make a mainline doll out of her. Oh,
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: you ought to know better than that. It takes six
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: generations to make a bunch of people like you, and
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: by Judas Priest, I haven't got that much time.
• 41:29
  Speaker 13: ¶ ¶.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: After a brief intermission, Mr.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: DeMille will present Act Three of Kitty Foyle, starring Ginger Rogers,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Dennis Morgan, and James Craig. Now, here's Libby Collins, our
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: fashion reporter, with a story about a new kind of
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: fashion show. Say, Libby, that's a very good-looking suit you're wearing.
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: Thanks, Mr. Ruick.
• 42:03
  Speaker 16: I think so, too. It's borrowed right out of the
• 42:06
  Speaker 16: fashion show you mentioned. It's made of Glenclad seersucker. That's cotton,
• 42:10
  Speaker 16: you know. All the things in the show are cotton.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Well, if they're all as good-looking as that, Libby, they'll.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Get my vote.
• 42:15
  Speaker 16: I think the clothes in the show will make a
• 42:17
  Speaker 16: lot of people feel that way, Mr.
• 42:18
  Speaker 15: Ruick.
• 42:19
  Speaker 16: Make them realize that cottons today are really fine fabrics,
• 42:23
  Speaker 16: just like lovely silks and rayons. And, of course, they
• 42:26
  Speaker 16: shouldn't be washed any old way.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: But they can be luxe.
• 42:29
  Speaker 8: Yes, indeed.
• 42:31
  Speaker 16: Everything in this style show is cotton and luxeable, from
• 42:34
  Speaker 16: playdresses to street suits to evening gowns. And they're the
• 42:38
  Speaker 16: smartest things you could find anywhere, too. They were chosen
• 42:41
  Speaker 16: by one of the leading fashion magazines, Harper's Bazaar.
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: Sounds like an exciting show.
• 42:46
  Speaker 8: It is, Mr.
• 42:46
  Speaker 11: Bruick.
• 42:47
  Speaker 16: It's a flying fashion show with a lovely girl from Tennessee,
• 42:51
  Speaker 16: Miss Alice Beasley, as its star. Miss Beasley was chosen
• 42:54
  Speaker 16: as the maid of cotton, specially to take the very
• 42:57
  Speaker 16: latest cotton styles on a 14,000-mile flying fashion tour. She's
• 43:02
  Speaker 16: stopping off at leading stores all over the country to
• 43:04
  Speaker 16: model them. And with her goes a luxe fashion expert
• 43:07
  Speaker 16: to tell women how to keep these smart clothes smart.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I think a lot of people in our audience
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: would like to know where they can see the show, Libby.
• 43:15
  Speaker 16: Well, this week the maid of cotton will be in Cleveland,
• 43:17
  Speaker 16: Ohio and Fort Wayne, Indiana.
• 43:20
  Speaker 10: And then?
• 43:20
  Speaker 16: Then she flies to Memphis, Tennessee for the Cotton Carnival
• 43:23
  Speaker 16: and then to New York City for National Cotton Week,
• 43:25
  Speaker 16: which starts May 16th. Newspapers in the cities where she
• 43:28
  Speaker 16: stops will announce the time and place of the shows.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Libby, for a very interesting story.
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: And ladies, Remember, today's colorful cottons need the same gentle
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: care that is America's favorite for all nice washables, new
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: quick luxe flakes. You see, gentle luxe care leaves dresses
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: fresh and dainty, keeps colors new-looking longer. Anything safe in
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: water is safe in luxe, you know. So avoid cake
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: soap rubbing, soaps with harmful alkali. Stick to new quick luxe. Now,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: our producer, Mr.
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: DeMille.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: The curtain rises on the third act of Kitty Foyle.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: The hands of the clock lift slowly toward twelve, the
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: hour that Kitty is supposed to meet Wynne at the boat.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: But the voice inside her goes on relentlessly, bringing back
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: all of the past.
• 44:33
  Speaker 13: Kidding.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: It's been a long time since I've seen you. Too long.
• 45:05
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: There's something I want to tell you.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: You always show up at the wrong time, Mark.
• 45:12
  Speaker 11: Why?
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: You knew I was married. Yes. Well, I'm not anymore.
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: I got my decree today. Funny. It started out, the
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: people of this free state send you greetings.
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: Still love him, Kitty?
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid so.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: What was the matter? Why didn't it turn out better?
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: I couldn't live his life and he couldn't live mine.
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: It's simple as that.
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: Is there any chance for me?
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid not.
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: You know I love you, don't you?
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: Well, we could go out to dinner once in a
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: while and see a show afterwards. I can afford seats
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: downstairs now.
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: Mark, I'd like to, but all the time we'd be together,
• 45:56
  Speaker 5: I'd be thinking of him and You're too nice to
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: be pushed around, so it's only fair for me to
• 46:01
  Speaker 5: tell you. I see. Let's say goodbye here, Mark.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: Kitty, if there's anything you ever want, well, you know
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: you can call on me, don't you?
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: Yes, I know that.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: I'm a pretty good doctor, Kitty. But seeing you now,
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: I wish I'd specialized in heart trouble.
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: I began to find out about them that there's a
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: lot of living to do in the world, and if
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: you're worthwhile, you get hurt. Then there was the day
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: you went to the doctor.
• 46:36
  Speaker 10: Come back in about a week, Mrs. Boyle.
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: You hardly knew if you were glad or sorry. You
• 46:42
  Speaker 5: went back to Delphine's in a daze.
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: Oh, Kitty, my dear.
• 46:47
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry I'm late, Delphine.
• 46:48
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's all right, my little friend. Only there was
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: a long-distance call for you.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 46:53
  Speaker 8: Just a few minutes ago. Call Philadelphia, Operator 12.
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: It's Wynne.
• 46:59
  Speaker 8: Kitty, you're so excited.
• 47:00
  Speaker 11: Hello.
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: Operator 12, please. How long ago?
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: Hello.
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: Did you have a Philadelphia call for Miss Foyle? Oh,
• 47:06
  Speaker 5: thank you.
• 47:07
  Speaker 6: It is Wynne.
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: It must be Wynne.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: Hello.
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: Who is it? Oh, Wynne. Yes, Wynne.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: Of course we can have a talk.
• 47:20
  Speaker 10: Where?
• 47:20
  Speaker 13: Uh-huh.
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: 5.30 at Giono's. I'll be there. Goodbye. Oh, I'll be there.
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: Is everything all right? Oh, yes.
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm awfully sorry I was late, Delphine, but I
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: had to go to the doctor's office.
• 47:35
  Speaker 10: Are you ill?
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: No.
• 47:37
  Speaker 8: Then what's the matter?
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: Well, when I left his office, he called me Mrs. Foyle. Oh,
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: my dear.
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: Can I help you?
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: No, it's all right, Delphine, because don't you see, when called.
• 47:49
  Speaker 8: But did you tell him? Does he know?
• 47:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, of course he knows. I mean, of course he
• 47:53
  Speaker 5: doesn't know. But he called me, and I'm going to
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: see him this afternoon. Oh, this is just what he needed.
• 48:00
  Speaker 5: It's just what I needed, too. Me and Wynne and
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: something to fight for.
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: Good afternoon, Miss Foyle.
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: Hello, Giono. Mr.
• 48:17
  Speaker 9: Straffer, he call, he say strega, one bottle and two glasses.
• 48:21
  Speaker 5: I think I'll have milk.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: Milk?
• 48:23
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: But when you have a good strega, why should you
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: want milk?
• 48:27
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't want him growing up to be a dipsomaniac.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: Do I? Beg your pardon?
• 48:30
  Speaker 5: Just milk.
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: All right, milk.
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: Giono.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: Grade A milk. That's when you saw the newspaper. It
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: was lying on the table. Mr.
• 48:43
  Speaker 9: And Mrs.
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: Joyce Gladwin announced the engagement of their daughter, Miss Veronica Gladwin,
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: to Mr. Winwood Strafford VI.
• 48:52
  Speaker 11: When?
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: Your milk, Miss Foyle.
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry. I don't want it now.
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: But, Miss Foyle.
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: No, no, please.
• 48:57
  Speaker 11: I've got to leave.
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: But, Mr. Strafford, what am I going to tell him, eh?
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: Tell him. Tell him that I hope the first one's
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: a boy.
• 49:06
  Speaker 13: Kitty, what's.
• 49:15
  Speaker 10: Wrong?
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: What is the matter, dear?
• 49:18
  Speaker 5: Wynne is going to be married again. This time to
• 49:20
  Speaker 5: somebody who's right for him. Not to me.
• 49:23
  Speaker 8: Then he doesn't know? You didn't tell him?
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: No.
• 49:26
  Speaker 8: Well, obviously somebody must.
• 49:27
  Speaker 10: No.
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: No, I wouldn't want it that way. Now he'd feel
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: gallant and conscientious. There's no happiness for anybody in a
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: marriage like that.
• 49:36
  Speaker 8: Well, what are you going to do?
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: I'm... going to have this baby.
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: Oh, but Kitty, every child has a right to a name.
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: He'll have a name. He's Wynn's son. He's legally entitled
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: to the name of Stratford, but I'll give him a
• 49:51
  Speaker 5: better name. The doctor called me Mrs. Foyle, so I'll
• 49:57
  Speaker 5: call the baby Foyle. I'll call him Tom Foyle after
• 50:01
  Speaker 5: my pop. He'll grow up to be proud of his
• 50:04
  Speaker 5: name and proud of his mother. And by Judas Priest,
• 50:08
  Speaker 5: he'll be a fighter too. Hard as a pine nut.
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: Tom Foyle. The toughest kid in the block. Delphine. Delphine,
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: is it over?
• 50:30
  Speaker 8: Yes, dear. It's over.
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: You don't need to tell me. I know... It's a boy.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: Yes, Kitty.
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: It's the funniest thing you get so dopey. All the
• 50:44
  Speaker 5: time it seemed I was dreaming that he was drowning
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: and I was swimming after him, trying to keep his
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: little head above water. Isn't that funny?
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, Kitty.
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: And then it seemed like I heard him cry. I'll
• 51:01
  Speaker 5: bet his lungs are awful good, aren't they? He cried
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: good and loud, didn't he, Delphine?
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: When are they going to let me have him? I
• 51:13
  Speaker 5: just want to hold him just to make sure he's safe.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: Kitty. Delphine.
• 51:21
  Speaker 5: Delphine.
• 51:23
  Speaker 8: Please, Kitty, you must rest now.
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: I don't want to rest. I want my son.
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: Where is he?
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: Oh, Delphine.
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: He isn't Yes. Yes, little one. I had a baby once.
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: He died, too, before he was born.
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, my baby.
• 51:49
  Speaker 8: Oh, my poor, poor baby.
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: Time kept on doing business at the same old stand.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: Five years of it. Then Delphine sent you down to
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: Philadelphia to open a branch in that department store. You
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: were afraid to go. Afraid of all the things it
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: might bring back. But nothing happened until the afternoon of
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: your last day. At about half past four.
• 52:18
  Speaker 12: I'm wearing gold knit over white satin with insertions of
• 52:21
  Speaker 12: green lace on the skirt. I'm a little worried about
• 52:23
  Speaker 12: my eyes because, you see, they're green, too.
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm. I think a touch more orange in your lip
• 52:28
  Speaker 5: rouge would bring out the gold in your eyes.
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's a very good idea.
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: Hello? Oh, Mrs. Strafford? Oh, that's for me.
• 52:36
  Speaker 10: Thank you.
• 52:37
  Speaker 5: Hello?
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: Oh, hello, Wynne. Oh, you don't have to go to
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: New York again, do you?
• 52:43
  Speaker 9: But.
• 52:45
  Speaker 12: But, Wynne, in the five years we've been married, we've
• 52:47
  Speaker 12: never gone to the assembly together.
• 52:49
  Speaker 15: Mother, are we going to buy a present?
• 52:52
  Speaker 8: Just a minute, dear.
• 52:54
  Speaker 5: Well, wait till I get home, then, will you? All right, Wynne.
• 52:57
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but I'll have to leave right away.
• 52:59
  Speaker 8: Mommy.
• 53:00
  Speaker 15: Are we going home?
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 53:02
  Speaker 15: But you told me I could buy Daddy a birthday present.
• 53:05
  Speaker 8: We'll get it tomorrow.
• 53:06
  Speaker 15: I forgot my teddy bear. My teddy bear.
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: Here it is. I was just going to bring it
• 53:11
  Speaker 5: to you. Thank you, ma'am. I bet I can tell
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: you what your name is.
• 53:15
  Speaker 15: Bet you can't.
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: It's Wynne Strafford. Wynne Wood Strafford the 7th.
• 53:20
  Speaker 15: How do you know?
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: I understand little boys pretty well. You see, I used
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: to know a little boy once. He'd be just about
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: your age now.
• 53:31
  Speaker 15: What was his name?
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: I think his eyes might have been just like yours.
• 53:36
  Speaker 15: I've got eyes just like my daddy's, only he's big.
• 53:40
  Speaker 5: Do you want a birthday present for your daddy very badly?
• 53:43
  Speaker 15: Oh, yes. He always gives me one.
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: Well, here's something you can give him. It's a ring,
• 53:50
  Speaker 5: but it's got to be a secret.
• 53:52
  Speaker 15: A secret?
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: Just for your daddy. Now, Shh. Wynne, dear, come along.
• 53:58
  Speaker 15: I forgot my teddy bear.
• 54:00
  Speaker 12: Oh, uh, miss, may I have your name? I'd like
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: to go over this color scheme with you some other time.
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. You see, we're not allowed to give out
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: our names. Oh, I'm sorry. Goodbye. Goodbye, Mrs. Strafford.
• 54:16
  Speaker 13: There it is.
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: That's the record up to date. And now you're thinking
• 54:21
  Speaker 5: of going to South America with Wynne. And Mark's waiting
• 54:24
  Speaker 5: for you at St. Timothy's. There's not much time, Kitty Foyle.
• 54:30
  Speaker 5: Make up your mind. Because this is forever. Well, what's
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: it going to be? Oh, who is it?
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: Bag's ready, miss.
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: Oh, come right in.
• 54:46
  Speaker 10: All set, Miss Foyle?
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: Yes, those bags over there. Have you the right time?
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: It's a quarter to twelve.
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: Oh, thank you. Please take the bags downstairs and call
• 54:53
  Speaker 5: a cab.
• 54:57
  Speaker 4: Already, Miss Foyle, I'm sorry to lose you.
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Joe.
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: We don't get very many pretty girls here.
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: Oh, Joe.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 55:03
  Speaker 5: I think a young man will call for me sometime
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: after midnight.
• 55:07
  Speaker 4: Just a minute. I'd better write this down.
• 55:09
  Speaker 5: He'll be quite excited, I think, and very insistent.
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: I want you to tell him that I admire him
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: very much, and I always will.
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: You admire him very much?
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: And tell him I'll never forget him.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: You will never forget him.
• 55:29
  Speaker 5: And tell him I'll always love him in a very
• 55:33
  Speaker 5: special way.
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: You'll always love him?
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: And tell him that I'm being married tonight.
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: You're getting married tonight?
• 55:42
  Speaker 5: Driver.
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: Hey, what is this?
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: Driver, St. Timothy's Hospital, please.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: Well, Judas Priest.
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: Judas Priest.
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: In a moment, Mr.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: DeMille brings back our stars for their curtain calls. Meantime,
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: Sally the Little Rascal made me a bet last week.
• 56:07
  Speaker 8: Yes, I bet Mr.
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: Ruick that he couldn't write a last line for a limerick.
• 56:11
  Speaker 5: Here it is.
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: When Sue got a run in her stocking, Betty explained
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: it is shocking the way that you rub your hose
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: in a tub.
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: No stocking can take such hard knocking.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: A pretty good rhyme.
• 56:23
  Speaker 3: And at the same time... Oh, my.
• 56:26
  Speaker 5: Advice that no girl should be mocking.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: She's wise if she ducks.
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: With fast, gentle luck.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: Continual runs in her stocking.
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: Well, seriously, that is just what stocking experts themselves, the
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: makers of lovely silk and nylon hosiery, recommend.
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: Luxe flakes. Listen to this significant fact.
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: Over 90%, specifically 721 out of the 783 makers of
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: stockings in the United States, recommend Luxe. And women's own
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: experience backs them up. Because new quick-lux flakes have become
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: America's favorite care for stockings the country over. Why? First,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: they're so gentle. They save the elasticity that makes stockings
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: fit and wear. Second, they're faster. You get suds in
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: a flash, and that saves you time. Third, new quick-lux
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: is thrifty. A little goes so far, gives such suds
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: even in hard water. New Quick Lux comes in the
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: same familiar package, costs you no more, and what good
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: service it will help you get from lovely stockings.
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: Now, here's Mr. DeMille and our stars.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Radio, alas, has not yet established its equivalent of an
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: Academy Award. If it had, we'd present it right now
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: to Ginger Rogers, as she returns to the microphone with
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: Dennis Morgan and James Crake.
• 57:47
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Mr. DeMille, but I think any medals that
• 57:49
  Speaker 5: are knocking around should be pinned on Miss Kitty Foyle herself.
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: What would you suggest looking for, Ginger?
• 57:54
  Speaker 5: Well, any large office building in any American city would
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: do it, Dennis.
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: Well, that's a pretty big order, Ginger.
• 57:59
  Speaker 5: Well, I think you'd find several million girls like Kitty Foyle, Jim.
• 58:02
  Speaker 5: They have their own brand of courage and don't ask
• 58:04
  Speaker 5: favors from anybody.
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: From our mail, I should judge that a high percentage
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: of them are regular members of this audience and that
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: they've all been asking for Kitty Foyle.
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: Ginger, you've played just about every kind of part an
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: actress can play on the screen. From dancing to drama.
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: What's it going to be next?
• 58:19
  Speaker 5: Well, it's a comedy called Tom, Dick, and Harry.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: Can't you get Dennis, Jim, and Cecil in that?
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: It's too late, Mr.
• 58:26
  Speaker 8: DeMille.
• 58:26
  Speaker 5: We've just finished making it at RKO.
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: What about next Monday night, Mr. DeMille?
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: You got a play yet? I should say we have
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: got a play. A play that won the Pulitzer Prize
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: on Broadway and later became a motion picture hit.
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: It's Craig's Wife.
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: And our stars will be Rosalind Russell and Herbert Marshall.
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: Craig's Wife is a sharp, dramatic story of a woman
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: who was a little late in discovering the importance of love.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: A story that demands fine acting. And that's why we're
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: presenting Rosalind Russell and Herbert Marshall at this microphone next
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: Monday night.
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: It's a fine play, Mr. DeMille, and I, for one,
• 59:02
  Speaker 5: will be right by my radio next week. Good night.
• 59:05
