  Speaker 3: mill our conductor Lewis Silvers. We wish you could all
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: be with us tonight in our theater on Hollywood Boulevard,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: not only to meet our stars, but also the many
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: other screen celebrities whom I see just beyond the footlights,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: awaiting the curtain of another great show. But wherever this
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: hour finds you, a hearty welcome from Lux. This program
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: comes to you with the good wishes of the makers
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: of Lux to Soap, the soap preferred by nine out
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: of ten Hollywood stars and is yet so inexpensive that
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: every girl can use it every day. Our message is
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: to use all the cosmetics you wish, but remove them
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: thoroughly the Hollywood way with Lux toilet soap, whose active
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: lather cleanses the pores and keeps your skin soft smooth.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: Always love me. Our show opened with word from our producer, Ladies.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: And gentlemen, mister Cecil B.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Demil, Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. Here in the
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: hometown of movies, we are so used to stars who
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: grit their teeth, clinch their fists, and crash their way
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: into the limelight. The man as shy and human as
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Gary Cooper is a complete novelty on a Hollywood soundstage.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: He's as refreshing as a breeze off the prairie. Last month,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the Shyan Indians up and lame dear Montana tried to
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: give him a name. They called Gary komest. He was
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: mighty pleased to become a member of the tribe until
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: he discovered that his new name means tall, handsome one.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Gary was an unknown actor in Weston's when he was
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: called in by the Paramount Studios for a screen test.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Entering the room, he faced an office filled with producers
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: and executives. The long young man from Montana looked at
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the expressionless faces, swallowed hard, smiled feebly, and bolted for
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: the door. But his personality clicked. They gave him an
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: important role in Wings, and Gary's been soaring steadily up
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: what ever since. I welcome him to Night as a
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: fine actor, a sincere co worker, a fearless man, and
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: a close friend. Charles Bickford is also a most welcome addition.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: To our caste.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Charlie left the stage to work for me in Dynamite,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: my first talking film, and has appeared in four of
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: my pictures since, including The Plainsman. Charlie is no mean
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: antagonist as a villain. In fact, it took an African
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: land to put him in the hospital. He will be
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: heard tonight in the role of Trampus. Our leading lady
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: is Helen Mack, who has been on stage and screen
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: since childhood and is one of the most unspoiled young
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: actresses in Hollywood. She has heard as Molly Wood. The
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: role of Steve is played by John Howard, co star
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: of the film Valiant is the word for Carrey and
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: now up with the curtain as the Lux Radio Theater
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: presents The Virginians, written by Owen Wister, starring Gary Cooper
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: with Charles Bickford, Helen Mack, and John Howard Wyoming in
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: the early nineteen hundreds, a dusty little town of Medicine
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Bowl is humming with activity, and though it's only ten
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning, the Maverick Cafe is with a noisy,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: rowdy gang of cow hands whooping it up on that
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: one day off. From the street comes a tall, quiet
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: spoken young cowboy known to his friends.

  Speaker 2: As the Virginia.

  Speaker 4: You haven't told me about that book I lent you
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: last week.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Did you finish it, that Romeo and Juliet? Yes, ma'am,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I finished it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: Don't tell me you didn't like it.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I ain't read any poetry before, but as soon
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: as I get the hang of it, it'll be as
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: easy as reading the Patent medicine catalog.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Didn't you like the story?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: Well, they raised a mighty strange breed of men in
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: them days. But in some respects this Romeo was a
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: pretty good armbree.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Oh, indeed, just a pretty good armbrea.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Yes, he had his enemies, and he killed him sures
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: he wasn't no coward, and proves he was quick on
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the drawer.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: Why you approve of killing your enemies?
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: No for not no, no, not if there's an honorable
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: way out. No man, but them enemies was particular ornery.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: They had it coming to him.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: Well, what else? Why didn't you like about Romeo?
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I didn't like him in that balcony scene.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: The balcony scene. Why that's the most famous scene in
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: the place.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe so, but not for me. What's his idea? And
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: trap's nothing down a rope ladder anyhow? Why didn't they
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: go in through the front door.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Don't you understand their families were enemies.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: The trap's not a ladder. That ain't my idea of
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: a real man?
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: Well, what would you do? Go in and kill her father?
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: That would be nice.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't have killed him, but I'd have had
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: a show down with a man, the man, And if
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: he was too stubborn to call off that fool feud,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: I'd have grabbed Juliet right off that balcony and married it.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: That was just what he was planning to do.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, but he couldn't stop playing actor on that balcony.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Wasted so much valuable time. He got them both killed.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: What would you have done?
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I ain't no rong heo. But if I loved
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: the gallon and wanted to, I wouldn't tritter away the time.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I know, rope ladder, making up poetry.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: Well, what would you do?
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I'll show you. I'll just take her like this, let
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: me go, stop it stop. Oh there, that's what i'd do.

  Speaker 4: I like you, and I admire you. I'm not sure

• 19:04
  Speaker 4: I feel like an an alien and outside it. Oh.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: I don't know how to explain it, but I just
• 19:10

  Speaker 5: smoke in.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: The back of don't talk that away, Steve. You and
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I had done a lot of local things together. But
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: there's some things that ain't only loco. They're plumb wrong.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: Ah, you take life too seriously.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: This whole country's taken things more seriously. I ain't trying
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: to lecture you or play Sunday School on what's right
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: or wrong. But the ranchers around here are plums sick
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: of having their herds trimmed out, and they'll soon be
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: posses out with ropes on their saddles.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm trying a nice, limber one to make it
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: easy for him.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: If they cast me, you blame hard headed fool.
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: What are you going to do?
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Turn me in? Nobody's talking about that. I reckon, I
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: couldn't be sought you no matter what you did. But listen, Steve,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: you and I have been friends too long to find ourselves. Mind,
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I end up on opposite sides and anything like this,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: ah shacks. How do I know what I'm gonna do?
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: This country is getting too civilized, too solemn.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I got a notion. I'll be mosey and out
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: to the Goldfield or someplace you.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Don't need you leaving, Steve. You know you can stay
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: on here as long as you want, just so you
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: don't do nothing crazy. And if I do, we ain't
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: gonna talk about that, not till the time comes. Ole.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: I'm just hoping the time never does come.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Gary Cooper will be back in just a few moments
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: to continue the story of the Virginia. But now let's
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: go to the airport in Burbank. I'll beyond the huge
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Warner Brother studio. As the five point thirty plane takes
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: off for New York and the browd, aren't you girls?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Let's listen that. Let's be a pretty long literal.
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: If reach to driveway out from Holly, we'll just send
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: it off the five thirty plane.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Is it important?
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: It's an airmail special delivery to Bill Butler. Oh, anyway,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: I think it's fund to see planes off. A lot
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: of us people do too, look at the ground, but well,
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: they're not looking at the plane.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Those mics and lights over there.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Oh, they must for shooting a picture. Yes, isn't that?
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: And Southern, Yes it is? And Southern, Oh, doesn't she
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: look like a million m I'm snappy suit. She's wearing
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: some snappy complexion too.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I wish I'd had one like it.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: And Southern's complexion does look lovely. It will continue to
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: look soft and smooth and clear because this youthful star
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: protects it. She knows that enemy to good looks, cosmetic skin,
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: comes when you're careless. Here's what this charming star says.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: Of course I use cosmetics, but I don't risk unattractive
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: cosmetic skin. I use lux toilet so because then I
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: know I'm safe. That's good advice for you. Lux toilet
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: soap's lather is active. It removes every trace of dust
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: and dirt, stale rouge and powder that might remain to
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: choke the pores. It's when the pores are choked the
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: tiny blemishes, a dull, lifeless look. Enlarged pores tell you
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: you're getting cosmetic skin. Remember put nuts toiletsap on your
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: shopping list, buy for your complexion the same care. Nine
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: out of ten screen stars hughes once again, mister de mill.

• 23:45
  Speaker 3: Steve against rustling cattle, but the warning went unheeded. We

• 23:53
  Speaker 3: in running a herd. It's late at night and they've
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: made camp and a rugged hideaway deep in the hill country.

  Speaker 2: Victory not so bad, hey boys.

  Speaker 5: But I'm still hurting them cows. You've been running them
• 24:17

  Speaker 2: meant to warn you about that. She don't know a thing.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Or it might be better if we didn't say nothing. Sure,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: she ain't used to things like that. Yes, you knew
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Steve pretty well. She'd be pretty upset if she knew
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the Virginian had a hand in on it. Well. How's
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the patient today, Oh, having up and around? Judge feeling fine?

  Speaker 2: He says, I can get out now anytime. Only miss Molly,
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: she's been taking such good care of me. I kind
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: of hate the lead. I can't say I'll blame you. Then.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: You know, there's been some talk lately down around the
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: town how we all might be doing a little celebrating
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: sometime this spring, celebrating what oh wedding? You mean me
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: and miss Molly? How about it? Well, I wouldn't go
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: putting no bets up the fire with you, Jude. What're saying?
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Not if I was you, you ain't getting married? Well
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I didn't say that.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: You say, don't put up no bits?
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Sure? You know it don't look so good for a
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: judge to go around gambling, And I'm pretty sure thing
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I reckon it don't sound Oh morning, miss Wood, good morning,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: just talking about you. You Yeah, just this minute, Judge.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: Henry, I wonder if he'd mind leaving this program.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Why no, ma'am desert didn't leading that? Just getting ready
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: to leave anyhow, Thank you, Well, so long, so long, Jedge,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: see yourselves, you're hope. So morning, Miss Wood. Well, Molly,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: why didn't you tell me what's that?
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Why didn't you tell me? You knew I'd find out.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Sooner or later. I reckon you're talking about Steve. Hi am, well,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I thought you knew, Molly.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: I didn't know, not until this morning. I Oh, it's horrible, horrible,
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: it had to be, Molly. You were there. Why didn't
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: you stop it? You could have stopped it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: No, you see, I was leading the posse. You, yes,
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: but Steve was your friend. It didn't make much difference then.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Your friend, and you murdered him.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Murder?
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: What else can you call it?
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Molly? Don't talk like that. It was hard enough. Don't
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: make it any worse. Somebody had to do it, and
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I was in charge. That's our kind of law.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Does your kind of law tell you to kill your friends?
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: Get ain't a question of friends or enemies, as a
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: question of right or wrong. I did what I thought
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: was right, Molly, it was right.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: Do you think I'll teach my children to believe that?
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: Do you think I'll help raising new generation to approve
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: of murder?
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Where you come from, they have policemen and courts and jails.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: We ain't got that. So when we have to, we
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: do things our own way.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: I see it now? Is this life? It destroys every
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: human feeling, a person's god. It's destroyed you, It's made
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: you cruel and ruthless and cold blooded. Well, it won't
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: destroy me. I won't let it. I'm leaving here just
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: as soon as I can.
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: Leaving Molly. You don't mean man, I do mean it.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: Then you're you're leaving me too.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'm leaving you too. I'm leaving everything. It's face
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: and mean and ugly. No, now, please get out and
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: let me alone.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Let me alone. The parish for station identification. This is
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: the Columbia Broadcasting System.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: It's the pride of California that it produces bigger things
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: than any state in the Union. Hence, it was with
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: consternation that California learned some thirty years ago that a
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: baby had been born in Maine. Weighing sixteen and a
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: half pounds. His precocious muscles rivaled those of the mythical
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: stone crusher, Poor Bunyan. There's a legend back in Maine
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: that when his mother took the heavyweight infant for his
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: first ride in a perambulator, the baby leaped from the
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: carriage and, bowing gracefully, said, come on, mare, you get
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: in and let me push. That may be a tall story,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: but I can vouch for the fact that he was
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: a United States Marine when only fourteen years old, and
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: three years later was a strong man in vaudeville. Today,
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: California at Last claims him not only as physical director
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: of Paramount Studios and a radio physical trainer, but as
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: a singer and little theater actor as well. Ladies and gentlemen.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Richard Klein, Oh, thank you, mister demil. What would you
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: like me to do?
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Sing? Act or give you a workout?
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: I've heard you saying, I've seen you act, and I've
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: thrown myself on your mersage in the gymnasium.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Tonight is my turn, all right? I hope I can
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: take it as well as you.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Dick.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Gary Cooker tells me that you're responsible for that educated
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: fist he swings in the Prainsman.
• 37:05
  Speaker 9: Gary's really one of the best boxes in Hollywood, along
• 37:08
  Speaker 9: with George Raft, Sir Guy's Standing, Jack Oakie and strangely enough,
• 37:12
  Speaker 9: Ida Lupino. But I'm proudest of Gary. He's a real
• 37:16
  Speaker 9: example of what regular exercise can do.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: And many people still believe that the life of a
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: picture star is a round of parties anything but a
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: round of boxing. One of the reasons I asked you
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: here is to correct that impression.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: Outside of farmers. None live a more regular, healthy life
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: than film stars. It's a matter of necessity. If they didn't,
• 37:35
  Speaker 9: they never be able to stand the strain. A well
• 37:38
  Speaker 9: balanced diet, plenty of sleep and the proper exercises are
• 37:41
  Speaker 9: absolutely necessary so they may give their best. You might
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: be a little more explicit well. Their taste and exercise varies.
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: Carol Lombard and Claudette Colbert preferred tennis, Kerry Grant and
• 37:53
  Speaker 9: Randolph Scott who went for punching the bag being Crosby,
• 37:56
  Speaker 9: and incidentally, mister de Mill like the rowing machine. Glad
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: he's swat out, and Adolf Monsieu do lots of riding,
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: and Malina Dietrich and May West keep their famous figures
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: by peddling a stationary bicycle. I've been doing my dandis
• 38:10
  Speaker 9: to get w C fields inside of the gym, but
• 38:13
  Speaker 9: he insists he gets all the exercise he needs juggling
• 38:16
  Speaker 9: a half dozen grapefruit every morning. My Gymnasium, by the way,
• 38:20
  Speaker 9: is one of the most historic buildings in Hollywood.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Started out as a barn. Then in nineteen fourteen mister
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Demil turned it into a studio. It was there that
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: he made the first feature length picture. The square Man.
• 38:32
  Speaker 9: Keeping fit has become so important in Hollywood that in
• 38:35
  Speaker 9: the near future, every new player at Paramount will undergo
• 38:38
  Speaker 9: a complete physical examination when signed. All of our executives
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: will also be expected to report regularly. Take a tip
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: from these famous people, ladies and gentlemen, and find time
• 38:48
  Speaker 9: to exercise. I guarantee you'll be amazed at how much
• 38:51
  Speaker 9: more work you'll be able to accomplish, how much better
• 38:54
  Speaker 9: you'll feel. Do your exercising where you can step into
• 38:57
  Speaker 9: a shower immediately after. And if you want to get
• 39:00
  Speaker 9: the ultimate good from both exercise and shower, my advice
• 39:04
  Speaker 9: is to use Luck's Toilet Soap. I believe in physical
• 39:08
  Speaker 9: culture of the skin as well as the rest of
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: the body. It's part of my business to know what's
• 39:12
  Speaker 9: best for a healthy skin. LUs never leaves the skin
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: dry as many soaps do. It has a pleasant aroma,
• 39:18
  Speaker 9: and its cleansing qualities are distinctly superior. You can be
• 39:21
  Speaker 9: pretty certain that when the stars go for something the
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: way they do for Lux Soap, it must be good.
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: And thank you mister Danill and Solo good Night's Crategy.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: And now back to the Virginian starring Gary Cooper with
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: Charles Bickford, Helen Mack and John Howard. Several days later
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: in the corral at the box H Ranch, we find
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: the Virginian saddling his horse. Strolling up to the gate
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: comes Mally Wood. She stands for a moment, then speak timidly.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Molly, I mean, good morning, ma'am. May I
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: commend It'll be a pleasure to have you, ma'am.
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, thank you. You see I didn't leave after all, Yes, ma'am,
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: I I changed my mind. I'm going to stay.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Are you well? Aren't you glad that all depends? You see, folks,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: has to be made for this country. It's rough, it's wild,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: and it takes a strong stomach to stand for some
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: of the things that go on out here. If you
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: can't stand it, it's best not to stay at all.
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: You think, I may weeklim, don't you.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: No, ma'am. I just don't think you understand our side
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: Perhaps not, but I've decided to try. I've been doing
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: a lot of thinking since the other day. I've looked
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: around me at people like Judge Henry and Shorty and
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: Nebraski and their wives, people like that kind of all
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: be wrong. They're kind and good, yes.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Ma'am they are, but they don't ever let themselves forget
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: the reason they're here. They're building a new country, ma'am.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: It's a big job, I know, and that's why I'm staying.
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: I want to help.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: We sure need it, man, any help at all, and
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: yours will be right. Welcome, Thank you?
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: And now will you? Will you forgive me for what
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: I said to you?
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Forgive you? Well, that's easy.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: And will everything be just as it was between you
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: and me?
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: That's up to you, Molly.
• 41:31

• 45:14
  Speaker 8: All right, what did you get?
• 45:15
  Speaker 3: I've got the belief you're a lion, white lived skunk.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: This country ain't big enough to hold the two of us.
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: I'm giving you the sun down and get out of town.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: It's too bad you had to say that. Trump's get out,
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: get out by sundown or I'll shoot you on site.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Come on, greasy, let's get out of here. Boys, I'd
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: like you to oblige me in this by not interfering.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Sure we understand, sunder must less than half an hour.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Now you're going to tell miss Molly not till it's over.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: If you wouldn't understand about this, she's raised different. Well,
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: we won't say nothing. Boss. I got Steve's gun over
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: the hotel. I reckon that'd be the one to use.
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: I'll go over now and pitch it. Hello, come in,
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: Oh here you are sure, Molly? Oh?
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: It seems so terrible waiting for you.
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: You heard about Tramp's being in town.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: Everyone's talking about it. They say you've got to leave
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: by sundown. I wanted to run out and find you,
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: but I didn't. I waited quietly in my room.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry you had to be worried, Molly.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter. Nothing matters except that you're here. Let's
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: don't think about it. What should we do now? No?
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Nothing? Now it ain't quite sundown yet. What I know
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: it's a heat force for you. I I wish you
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: didn't have to wait alone, but it won't be for long.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: Why what do you mean?
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: I did my best. I let him say things to
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: me no man ever said before. If I hadn't been
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: thinking harder.
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: You.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: I reckon that I killed him. Then I gave him
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: a chance to quit. But he's gone too far. It'll
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: have to go on.
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: Now, what are you going to do.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to let him shoot me, but so we.
• 47:07
  Speaker 4: Can go away. It's not too late. You can go
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: away and leave him here.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: I've got to stay.
• 47:11
  Speaker 4: Oh no, there must be something else. There must be
• 47:14
  Speaker 4: why I think what it means killing in cold blood.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: You don't think I want to do this.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: Well, I try to forgive the other killing those cattle
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: thieves and Steve. I forced myself to think of it
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: as you did, law and order. But this, this isn't
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: the same. You don't have to do this.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: If folks came to think me a coward, I couldn't
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: look him in the eye ever again. Or you either, Well,
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: that's just pride. I don't know what you call it,
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: but it's something in the feelings of a man deep
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: down inside, something a man can't go back on. If
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: anybody happened to say I was a thief, I couldn't
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: let him go on saying it. It wouldn't matter what
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: other people thought, but I'd have to know inside of
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: me that I thought enough of my own honesty to
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: fight for it.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: And it's to be like this always. When will it
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: ever end?
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: They'll always be killing to do until this country isn't
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: a meeting place for men.
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: Like Trumpet, And think of us all life together, That's
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: what I am thinking of. Your life has always been
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: your own, but now it isn't. You've given it to me,
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: don't take it away.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: I can't think of that now.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: If you do this, there'll be no tomorrow for you
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: and me.
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: I am sorry, Molly, it's got to be done.
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: Well. No, don't go come back, Please come back. You
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: can't leave me lifeless.
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hello, Shorty and Sundown. Yeah, I've just seen trampers.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: He's in Joe's place. Yeah, I guess they'll take a
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: walk down that way. Listen, boss, stay on the sidewalk.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: You don't want to be stepping in one of them
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: mud holes when you're taking aim. I'll be all right.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: I'll walk with your piece, and as if you don't mind,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: of course not, come on. Watch out for the loose
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: board's boss. This walk is full of them. I'll watch it. Yeah, eel,
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: all right, it's fine. We're all with your boss know it.
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: There he is, just coming out the door. He sees
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: your boss. Yeah, I'll go on from here alone. Shorty,
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: You're a boss and lots of luck. Thanks Sundown, Virginia,
• 49:19
  Speaker 2: I know it, Trampets, I want you well, I'm waiting.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: You won't have long, all right.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: You never touched me, Shorty, You got him boss, he's dinner,
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: Nicole Macaw Yeah, I reckon he is?
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: Where is he?
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: All? Let me through? Please please miss Molly, Molly.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Oh you're safe. Oh thank god it wasn't true.
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: Thank god, it's all right, Molly, No need to cry.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: Don't ever leave me ever again.
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: But what you said before about they're not being any tomorrow,
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: don't that count?
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: Nothing counts except that I love you. Promise me you'll
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: never leave comes.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Sure, I promise, But I still don't understand women, Molly.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: We take our leave of the Virginian, but not of
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: Gary Cooper and Helen Mack, who come back to the
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: microphone a little later. Activities of the motion picture world
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: draw a more newspaper men to Hollywood than national affairs
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: draw to Washington. Outstanding among them is Sidney Skolsky, whose
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: column Hollywood appears daily in the New York News and
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: in many other papers here and abroad. Formerly author of
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: the column Tintype in the New York Sun and Behind
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: the News in the Daily News, sid has also been
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: press agent for such dispenses of beauty as Sam Harris,
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Earl Carroll and George White. He would probably be offended
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: if I said he is the best liked film reporter.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: Sid is a member of that resolute minority who believe
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: in hewing to the line of news and letting the
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: quips for where they make ladies and gentlemen, Sidney Skotski, when.
• 51:14
  Speaker 7: You call me that hardness, smile, well, hire your skoke.
• 51:18
  Speaker 7: I've got myself exactly where you want me.
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: And you will never get there.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: Skotsk. I mean I'm as nervous here as I make you.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: When I visit your movie set, right, you look like
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: one of my pictures. A frightened people are far of them.
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: I sound like a straight man. And when a columnist
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: goes straight, that's something that'll be enough. Skultchke, get on
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: with your Hollywood wash.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Pretty subtle, nobody, never think you were talking about lucks.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Can you do better? Well?
• 51:43
  Speaker 7: I don't use publicity blurbs in my column and I
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: don't intend to start with this program, but I can
• 51:47
  Speaker 7: truthfully say I've seen lux soap and homes of movie
• 51:50
  Speaker 7: stars that I've visited, and I don't believe actresses keep
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: lucks around for the same reason.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: They keep emeralds. Now that you're here, make the worst
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: of it. Don't worry.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: I will.
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: What is a place where Kay Francis now keeps her
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: diary in shorthand, where Glorious Swanson has eight photographs in
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: her bedroom of Glorias wantson. It is a town where
• 52:09
  Speaker 7: you need an umbrella to walk through a mist. It
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: is a town where you heard of it. Leaving a
• 52:13
  Speaker 7: party said to the hostess, I had a lovely evening,
• 52:16
  Speaker 7: but this wasn't it. Where Francis X Bushman, who was
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: once the clock Gable and Robert Taylor of his day,
• 52:22
  Speaker 7: now owns a Hamburger stand opposite the twentieth century Fox
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: Studio and is still serving his public.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: But don't get me wrong, I love Hollywood.
• 52:31
  Speaker 7: Hollywood is a place where Victor McLaughlin, playing a scene
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: for his picture The Magnificent Brute, was told to run
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: up a flight of stairs and then fall when the
• 52:38
  Speaker 7: villain fired the first shot from his gun. McLaughlin failed
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: to do this, and when asked why by the director,
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: Victor answered, I'm McLaughlin. It takes more than one shot
• 52:47
  Speaker 7: to get me. It is a town where Simon Simon
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: doesn't pull down the shades in her apartment and rents
• 52:54
  Speaker 7: have gone up in that neighborhood.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: But don't get me wrong, I love Hollywood.
• 53:00
  Speaker 7: Wood is a place where Douglas Fairbanks has his name
• 53:02
  Speaker 7: written on the bands of the.
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: Cigars he gives you.
• 53:04
  Speaker 7: It's a town where you can drive into a drive
• 53:06
  Speaker 7: in stand and bring home a cake of ice wrapped
• 53:08
  Speaker 7: in cellophane. Where the first thing Robert Taylor had to
• 53:12
  Speaker 7: do to be a picture star was to pluck his eyebrows.
• 53:15
  Speaker 7: We're at the preview of the picture Pigskin Prey. They
• 53:18
  Speaker 7: had a scene showing girls going to Yale. But don't
• 53:21
  Speaker 7: get me wrong, I love Hollywood. Hollywood is a place
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: where Ginger rogers for a wild evening, goes bowling with
• 53:28
  Speaker 7: James Stewart on Wilshire Boulevard, where John Barrymore gives a
• 53:32
  Speaker 7: great performance ordering a cup of coffee in the brown Derby.
• 53:36
  Speaker 7: It is a town where director Van Dyke, making the
• 53:39
  Speaker 7: flick of Eskimo took artificial snow to the Arctic. Where
• 53:43
  Speaker 7: Gene Holler wears a mink coat and with nothing underneath
• 53:45
  Speaker 7: it but a pair of silk pajamas. Where Gene Fowler
• 53:49
  Speaker 7: now signs his letters Gene Fowler, author of Jack London's
• 53:53
  Speaker 7: White Fang.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: But don't get me wrong, I love Hollywood.
• 53:57
  Speaker 7: Hollywood is a place where Charlie Chaplin can keeps a
• 54:00
  Speaker 7: huge dictionary in his bathroom, Where Gobble and Rex O'Malley
• 54:04
  Speaker 7: doing a dancing Camille fell to the floor. O'Malley helped
• 54:07
  Speaker 7: Gobble up and rather embarrass that to Greta, Oh dear,
• 54:10
  Speaker 7: how could I have tipped over your tiny little feet.
• 54:14
  Speaker 7: It is a town where Joseph von Sternberg raised a
• 54:16
  Speaker 7: bid and when asked why, I answered, I'm tired of
• 54:19
  Speaker 7: looking at my face and I'm not the only one.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: But don't get me wrong, I love Hollywood.
• 54:24
  Speaker 7: Hollywood is a place where Carol Lombard can be seen
• 54:27
  Speaker 7: reading a story in a fan magazine titled Clark Gables
• 54:30
  Speaker 7: Romantic Flight. It is a town where Irving Berlin at
• 54:34
  Speaker 7: a party asked what song the fella at the piano
• 54:36
  Speaker 7: was playing, only to be told it was Alexander's Ragtime Band,
• 54:41
  Speaker 7: where Ted Healy asked his stooge, Jimmy Brewster, who do
• 54:44
  Speaker 7: you think will get in Roosevelt or Landon?
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: And Brewster answered, what's the matter with the guy? We
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: got in there now? But don't get me.
• 54:51
  Speaker 7: Wrong, I love Hollywood and always will as long as
• 54:55
  Speaker 7: it supply such good coffy, good night, thank you.
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: Then I said, we bring back the Virginian, Gary Cooper
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: and the school mom.
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: Helen Max.
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: De Mill. The only thing I met tonight was seeing
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: Gary ride a horse as he does when he really
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: gets out in the open.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: Well, riding is nothing extra special, Helen. Back home in Montana,
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: we learned to ride on most when we're kids. When
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: more kids rather are pushing a kitty car, I guess
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: they kept my first teeth on the saddle.
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: Letter, Is that why you picked Gary for the part
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: of wild Bill Hiccock and the place for mister Dean Mills.
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: Or partly Helen?
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: Actually he's a perfect portrait of Hiccock in looks, size,
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: and manner. Then there's a similarity between the Virginian and
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: wild Bill. The Virginian is the ideal American character in romance.
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: Short on speech and long on action and wild Bill
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: Hiccock is the ideal American character. In fact, Hickock was
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: not a bad man.
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: He was a patriot.
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: Well then, how did he get such a reputation as
• 55:53
  Speaker 4: a killer.
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Well, he's supposed to have killed between sixty and one
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: hundred men, not not counting Indian.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: And nobody counted Indians in those days, which just used
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: for practice.
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Probably the fact is Hiccock killed only in defense of
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: law and order. And as he said himself back in
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: the eighteen seventies, there's no Sunday west of Junction City,
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: no law west of Hayes City, or no God west
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: of Carson City.
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: It was to change all this, to bring respective law
• 56:15
  Speaker 3: to the west that Hickock devoted his life, finally losing
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: it when shot by Jack McCall, who killed him for
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: the strangest reason ever heard, because he admired him so much.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: I guess it's because all this is true that I
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: got such a kick out of making the picture.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: It was real, including the danger and riding between two
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: horses to escape in any of ambush. I think you
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: did something many stars would have avoided. However, that was
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: in the script. What wasn't in the script? Was you
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: are stopping the six horses that stampeded across the prairie
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: running away with the stagecoach?
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: You? Well, after all I had to stop them. The
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: one they were running away.
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: With was me, while you were running away with a picture.
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: I hope we'll soon have another picture.
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: For you to steal.
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: When Gary steals a picture of a broadcast, it's really
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: grand lost to me, oh, Helen, Helen, as far as
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: I'm there, and I wish this program to go on
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: for another sixty minutes.
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: Anything after your performance tonight, Helen would be an anti climate.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: And all I can add is that when it comes
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: to radio programs and soap Gimmy Lunched, every time, they're
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: both tops.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: All bought the same ticket and include you, Helen.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Gerry, good night everyone, good night, good night, Helen,
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: good night.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Claims.
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: Then, have the thousands of stories that relate the adventures
• 57:27
