Lux Radio Theatre - "The Other Love" (Old Time Radio, 1947) · Lux Radio Theater | Old Time Radio

0:00
Speaker 1: Concert pianist Karen Duncan enters a Swiss mountain sanatorium to
0:05
Speaker 1: be treated for a serious lung illness.
0:08
Speaker 2: There, under the care of Dr.
0:10
Speaker 1: Anthony Stanton, she finds herself at odds with medical discipline
0:15
Speaker 1: and drawn toward Paul Claremont, a visitor from the outside world.
0:20
Speaker 1: On June 16, 1947, Lux Radio Theater presented The Other Love,
0:26
Speaker 1: its 576th broadcast, adapted from the 1947 United Artists film.
0:33
Speaker 1: Barbara Stanwyck reprises Karen Duncan, joined by George Brent and
0:38
Speaker 1: Richard Conte. The radio adaptation was written by Ladislas Fodor
0:42
Speaker 1: and Harry Brown. And now, our story begins.
0:47
Speaker 3: Lux presents Hollywood.
0:56
Speaker 4: Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, bring you
1:00
Speaker 4: the Lux Radio Theater, starring Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent, and
1:04
Speaker 4: Richard Conte in The Other Love.
1:08
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr.
1:11
Speaker 4: William Keeley.
1:18
Speaker 5: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Looking through the records,
1:22
Speaker 5: I find that tonight's Lux Radio Theater play is the
1:26
Speaker 5: first American motion picture ever to have had an international premiere.
1:30
Speaker 5: This enterprise picture, The Other Love, opened in London to
1:34
Speaker 5: a distinguished.
1:35
Speaker 3: Audience of peers, critics, and celebrities.
1:38
Speaker 5: Last month, it made an equally successful debut in New York,
1:41
Speaker 5: and we are soon to see it in Los Angeles.
1:43
Speaker 5: But tonight we give it its first coast-to-coast premiere in this.
1:47
Speaker 3: The largest theater of them all.
1:49
Speaker 5: And we're proud to have Barbara Stanwyck, Richard Conte, and
1:53
Speaker 5: Joan Loring from the original screencast, and George Brent as
1:58
Speaker 5: the important other love. George, by the way, is one
2:01
Speaker 5: of the top names on our Roll of Honor, which
2:04
Speaker 5: lists the stars who have appeared most frequently on our stage.
2:08
Speaker 5: And Barbara Stanwyck isn't far behind.
2:10
Speaker 3: We hope we'll be privileged to.
2:12
Speaker 5: Act Dick Conte's name in the years to come. Of course,
2:16
Speaker 5: there's a role of honor in your home, too. One
2:19
Speaker 5: that expresses your daily preferences, your shopping list. And I'm
2:23
Speaker 5: confident that Lux Flakes gets top billing on that honor roll. Because,
2:28
Speaker 5: quoting from your many letters, Lux Flakes help keep things
2:32
Speaker 5: nice and lovely longer. And those same Lux Flakes help
2:36
Speaker 5: bring you such inspiring dramas as tonight's play... David Lewis'
2:40
Speaker 5: production of The Other Love, starring Barbara Stanwyck as Karen Duncan,
2:45
Speaker 5: George Brent as Tony Stanton, and Richard Conte as Paul Claremont,
2:50
Speaker 5: with Joan Loring as Celestine. Our curtain rises on Act One.
3:05
Speaker 5: High in the mountains of Switzerland, there's a noted clinic
3:08
Speaker 5: for pulmonary ailments.
3:09
Speaker 3: The Montviez Sanatorium.
3:12
Speaker 5: In the office of a staff physician, a new and
3:15
Speaker 5: celebrated patient, the concert pianist Karen Duncan discusses her case
3:20
Speaker 5: with Dr.
3:20
Speaker 3: Stanton.
3:23
Speaker 6: I don't know what's the matter with me, Doctor. All
3:25
Speaker 6: of a sudden, I feel dizzy.
3:26
Speaker 7: It's traditional with all new patients, Miss Duncan. It's nothing
3:29
Speaker 7: but the altitude. Now, tell me, when did you first notice.
3:33
Speaker 4: You were ill?
3:34
Speaker 6: I really don't remember. It just kept getting worse.
3:36
Speaker 7: And that's when you went to Professor Lineker?
3:38
Speaker 4: Yes.
3:39
Speaker 7: He sent me a very nice letter about you. Warned
3:41
Speaker 7: me to take the very best care of you.
3:43
Speaker 8: That was kind of him. When will I know the
3:46
Speaker 8: results of all these tests and x-rays?
3:48
Speaker 7: In a day or so, Miss Duncan.
3:49
Speaker 6: How long will I have to be here, Doctor?
3:51
Speaker 7: Let's see. You've been on concert tours the past two years,
3:53
Speaker 7: a night here, a night there. Eating on the run,
3:56
Speaker 7: hurrying to catch trains. Barely time to sleep.
4:00
Speaker 6: Barely time for anything.
4:01
Speaker 7: You should be very tired.
4:03
Speaker 6: Yes. Yes, I am.
4:05
Speaker 7: You know, I'm quite overwhelmed meeting you. I have a
4:08
Speaker 7: great many of your records.
4:09
Speaker 6: Thank you. May I go to my room now, Doctor?
4:11
Speaker 6: Of course.
4:12
Speaker 2: Huberta?
4:12
Speaker 7: Yes, Doctor. Please take Miss Duncan to suite 17. This
4:16
Speaker 7: is your nurse, Miss Duncan. This is Huberta. I'd be
4:19
Speaker 7: quite helpless without her.
4:20
Speaker 6: How do you do? How do you do?
4:22
Speaker 7: We'll have to start building you up a little, Miss Duncan.
4:24
Speaker 7: How's your appetite?
4:25
Speaker 6: What appetite?
4:26
Speaker 7: Oh, well, we'll change that. By the way, on your
4:29
Speaker 7: first night here, you ought to dine with your doctor. So,
4:31
Speaker 7: shall we meet him? I'll be at seven.
4:33
Speaker 6: Thank you.
4:34
Speaker 7: Notify the kitchen, Huberta. Grade A, stimulation diet for number 17.
4:44
Speaker 6: I'm impressed with the suite, Hubertette.
4:46
Speaker 7: Lovely.
4:47
Speaker 6: And that view from my balcony. That is Montviege, Miss Duncan.
4:51
Speaker 6: And there below us is the town. Looks like a
4:53
Speaker 6: toy town from here. Like something in a fairy book.
4:56
Speaker 6: Not when you get used to it.
4:57
Speaker 9: I've lived there all my life.
4:59
Speaker 6: Who had this suite before me? A lady. She left
5:02
Speaker 6: us yesterday. Did she go home?
5:03
Speaker 10: Oh, I imagine so. Well, I've hung up your clothes.
5:06
Speaker 10: You're on your own now for a while. Just ring
5:08
Speaker 10: if you want anything.
5:10
Speaker 6: Two hours until dinner?
5:11
Speaker 9: Just time for a nice nap.
5:12
Speaker 6: A nap? Well, I'll try. Please, Miss Duncan. It will
5:16
Speaker 6: do you so.
5:20
Speaker 11: Much.
5:25
Speaker 7: One of the things we take great pride in here
5:27
Speaker 7: is our dining room. You enjoyed dinner, Miss Duncan?
5:30
Speaker 6: Oh, very much. This place is almost like a hotel,
5:33
Speaker 6: isn't it?
5:33
Speaker 7: Why not?
5:34
Speaker 6: Dinner, music, even orchids.
5:36
Speaker 12: Hmm?
5:36
Speaker 6: I should have thanked you for these before, Doctor. It
5:38
Speaker 6: was sweet of you to send them.
5:40
Speaker 7: Well, I'm chagrined. I didn't send them.
5:42
Speaker 6: You didn't?
5:43
Speaker 7: To my shame, no.
5:45
Speaker 6: But who could have?
5:46
Speaker 7: Well, we have quite a number of gentlemen here. It
5:48
Speaker 7: could have been anyone who saw you. Well, would you
5:51
Speaker 7: care to walk around the grounds?
5:52
Speaker 6: Can you spare the time?
5:54
Speaker 7: I'll check my office first. And while you're waiting for me,
5:56
Speaker 7: I'll have Hubert to get your coat.
6:04
Speaker 6: Good evening.
6:05
Speaker 8: Oh, good evening, madame.
6:07
Speaker 6: I didn't know there was a florist shop here.
6:09
Speaker 9: Oh, yes, madame.
6:10
Speaker 6: There are several little shops here at the sanatorium.
6:13
Speaker 9: You are new, then?
6:14
Speaker 6: Yes. These orchids came from here?
6:17
Speaker 9: You are in suite 17?
6:18
Speaker 12: Yes.
6:19
Speaker 9: We have a standing order to send white orchids every night.
6:23
Speaker 6: But there was no card. No card?
6:26
Speaker 13: Sweet 17.
6:26
Speaker 6: Oh, oh, I am very sorry, madame.
6:29
Speaker 9: There has been a mistake.
6:31
Speaker 6: The lady left us last night. I see. Then the
6:36
Speaker 6: gentleman who sent them?
6:38
Speaker 9: The gentleman? He left us several months ago.
6:44
Speaker 6: I'll leave the orchids here. Thank you.
6:47
Speaker 11: Thank you.
6:50
Speaker 7: Well, there you are, Miss Duncan. Come in the office,
6:55
Speaker 7: won't you?
6:56
Speaker 6: I found out who sent me the orchids.
6:57
Speaker 7: You did?
6:58
Speaker 6: A man who died months ago. Except they were intended
7:02
Speaker 6: for a woman who died yesterday.
7:03
Speaker 7: Oh, now, Miss Duncan, you're really jumping at conclusions, aren't you?
7:07
Speaker 7: The lady who formerly occupied your suite went back to Copenhagen.
7:10
Speaker 7: She went there to join the gentlemen. They were both cured.
7:12
Speaker 6: Do you always lie so considerably?
7:15
Speaker 7: I'm not lying.
7:16
Speaker 6: No, of course not. You call it therapy. Protect the
7:18
Speaker 6: patient from fear. Keep bad associations away. But I'm not fooled, Doctor.
7:24
Speaker 7: And I just got through telling Professor Lineker what wonderful
7:27
Speaker 7: hopes I have for you.
7:28
Speaker 6: What do you mean, Professor Lineker?
7:29
Speaker 7: He telephoned from Zurich. He wanted to make sure that
7:32
Speaker 7: you'd arrive safely. You see, a lot of people are
7:35
Speaker 7: interested in you, Miss Duncan. They want you to be
7:37
Speaker 7: well again. And he said that you were to stay
7:40
Speaker 7: quiet and take orders. And to do what people think
7:43
Speaker 7: is best for you. Now, what about our walk?
7:46
Speaker 6: If you don't mind, I'd rather go straight to bed.
7:49
Speaker 6: I can't sleep.
7:50
Speaker 7: Oh, you'll sleep. I'll have you birthed. I'll give you
7:52
Speaker 7: a sedative.
7:52
Speaker 6: Just as you say, doctor.
7:55
Speaker 11: Hello.
8:01
Speaker 6: Hello, Dr. Stanton, please. Doctor expecting you to call. Yes,
8:05
Speaker 6: he said I could.
8:06
Speaker 11: Hello?
8:07
Speaker 6: Doctor, this is Karen Duncan. Can you come to my
8:10
Speaker 6: rooms quickly, please?
8:17
Speaker 7: Now, what is it, Miss Duncan?
8:18
Speaker 2: A bad dream?
8:19
Speaker 6: I don't know. I don't seem to get enough air.
8:22
Speaker 6: The mountains are pressing against me.
8:25
Speaker 7: Well, you're not acclimated yet. People often react oddly to
8:28
Speaker 7: sudden changes in altitude. You mustn't worry.
8:30
Speaker 6: I know. But I heard strange noises, like someone knocking
8:34
Speaker 6: out there on the balcony. There it goes again.
8:37
Speaker 7: Well, look out there. See that pine tree? Whenever the
8:40
Speaker 7: wind blows, the pine canes tap against the balcony. Now,
8:43
Speaker 7: that's not so mysterious, is it?
8:44
Speaker 6: Well, there was another noise, too, out in the hall,
8:48
Speaker 6: like the clanging of an iron door.
8:50
Speaker 7: You must have been dreaming.
8:51
Speaker 6: I was awake. Hearing it was what made me call you.
8:54
Speaker 7: Well, there are stages in sleep when one is neither
8:56
Speaker 7: awake nor actually asleep. I've had that thing happen to
8:59
Speaker 7: me many times. Please, Miss Duncan, try to go back
9:03
Speaker 7: to sleep. Try counting sheep or pretend that you're on
9:06
Speaker 7: a merry-go-round. That's worked with me.
9:08
Speaker 6: Well, what if I get the brass ring?
9:11
Speaker 7: You can give it to me in the morning. Good night.
9:12
Speaker 6: Good night. I'll be all right. Thank you. Now you're
9:28
Speaker 6: to lie on the lounge, Miss Duncan. Here on the belt. Oh,
9:30
Speaker 6: but I just got out of bed, Huberta. And I'm starving.
9:34
Speaker 1: Wonderful.
9:34
Speaker 6: I'll have your breakfast tray in a minute. May I
9:36
Speaker 6: eat out here? You not only may, it's all... Good morning.
9:40
Speaker 4: Good morning.
9:41
Speaker 7: Well, did you finally get to sleep?
9:42
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, doctor. Thank you.
9:44
Speaker 7: Then where's my brass ring?
9:45
Speaker 6: Missed it. I didn't lean over far enough. Cigarette?
9:48
Speaker 7: No, thanks. Oh, I'll take your lighter, please. You won't
9:52
Speaker 7: be needing it.
9:53
Speaker 4: For a while.
9:53
Speaker 6: Oh, no. Oh, yes. But you saw me smoking yesterday.
9:56
Speaker 7: But today you're not smoking. Has Hubert told you about
9:59
Speaker 7: your schedule?
10:00
Speaker 6: Yes. Good.
10:02
Speaker 7: I'll see you later on.
10:03
Speaker 8: Your tray looks very tempting, Miss Dunstan.
10:06
Speaker 10: Now, if you'll just.
10:06
Speaker 6: Just set it down, Hubert, and maybe later. But I
10:09
Speaker 6: thought you were hungry. I've lost my appetite. Well, it's
10:13
Speaker 6: always hard the first day or two. In a week,
10:15
Speaker 6: you'll see a great change. Would you like a book? No,
10:18
Speaker 6: I'll just lie here and think. Think about what? About
10:22
Speaker 6: what's going to happen.
10:23
Speaker 9: Only one thing's going to happen.
10:25
Speaker 6: You're going to get well. How do you know?
10:28
Speaker 9: You'll get well if you do as the doctor says.
10:30
Speaker 9: Keep those blankets on.
10:32
Speaker 13: Oh, don't pay any attention to her.
10:35
Speaker 2: Oh.
10:35
Speaker 6: Here I am, the next balcony. I'm your neighbor. Oh,
10:38
Speaker 6: good morning.
10:39
Speaker 13: We don't take.
10:40
Speaker 6: Ourselves too seriously here.
10:42
Speaker 12: Oh, excuse me, I'm Celestine Miller. I, uh, I heard.
10:47
Speaker 6: You last night Heard me?
10:49
Speaker 12: When Tony came in.
10:50
Speaker 6: Tony?
10:51
Speaker 13: Dr. Stanton. You're... you're really quite ill, aren't you?
10:56
Speaker 6: I suppose I am.
10:58
Speaker 13: Well, I'm not. I'm only playing sick.
11:00
Speaker 14: My husband thinks he's in love with another woman, and
11:03
Speaker 14: my being here makes him feel guilty.
11:05
Speaker 6: Would you like a cigarette? No, thank you.
11:08
Speaker 8: Well, what do you think of him, Tony?
11:10
Speaker 6: Oh, I think he's charming.
11:12
Speaker 13: Oh, the first thing, he's always charming.
11:14
Speaker 6: Would you like to go to the village this afternoon?
11:16
Speaker 6: The village? Oh, I'd love to. Will he let me?
11:20
Speaker 13: Probably not, but there are means of getting away.
11:23
Speaker 6: I'll go ahead and... Miller! Uh-oh, nurse, he's caught me again.
11:25
Speaker 12: See you after the rest period.
11:35
Speaker 7: And I wish I could say yes, Miss Duncan, but
11:37
Speaker 7: I can't. No trips to the village for some time.
11:40
Speaker 6: But it doesn't make sense. If I can go for
11:42
Speaker 6: a walk with you... A very short walk.
11:44
Speaker 4: See?
11:45
Speaker 7: You've already arrived at our destination.
11:47
Speaker 6: This house?
11:48
Speaker 7: Yes.
11:49
Speaker 6: Well, it's very charming.
11:50
Speaker 7: And very small.
11:51
Speaker 6: Part of the sanatorium?
11:53
Speaker 7: In a sense. It's where I live. Come on in.
11:57
Speaker 6: Oh, it's lovely. So removed, and yet just a few
12:01
Speaker 6: steps from the.
12:01
Speaker 7: Whenever you want to get away, come here. Doors are
12:04
Speaker 7: always open.
12:05
Speaker 6: Well, the piano's very inviting. I didn't know you played.
12:08
Speaker 4: I don't.
12:09
Speaker 7: Well, not really. Although when I was about seven, I
12:12
Speaker 7: toyed with the idea of being a concert pianist myself.
12:15
Speaker 6: What made you change your mind?
12:16
Speaker 7: Well, when I was eight, I met a little girl
12:18
Speaker 7: who had a doll that was always sick. And she
12:22
Speaker 7: was a singularly beautiful little girl, so I decided that
12:24
Speaker 7: a doctor's life must be a singularly happy one. And
12:27
Speaker 7: here I am.
12:28
Speaker 6: What happened to the little girl?
12:29
Speaker 7: I don't know. She probably married a pianist.
12:32
Speaker 15: Please don't play.
12:36
Speaker 6: Oh, don't tell me this is forbidden, too.
12:38
Speaker 4: For the moment.
12:39
Speaker 6: But why?
12:40
Speaker 7: Music has demanded too much of you already.
12:42
Speaker 6: But I must play. Playing the piano is my life.
12:45
Speaker 7: It was your life. And it will be again. But
12:48
Speaker 7: for the moment, you must try to think of yourself
12:49
Speaker 7: as being in a deep sleep between today and tomorrow.
12:53
Speaker 7: Before you know it, the darkness will be gone. Just
12:56
Speaker 7: the way it went last night.
12:57
Speaker 6: Is there anything that isn't forbidden?
12:59
Speaker 7: Many things. Amongst them, hope.
13:02
Speaker 6: Hope. Yes, you're right.
13:05
Speaker 8: There isn't any need of me trying to fight you,
13:08
Speaker 8: is there?
13:09
Speaker 7: Why, I didn't know you were fighting me.
13:11
Speaker 6: Oh, it was only fear.
13:13
Speaker 8: I didn't realize how frightened I was until last night.
13:15
Speaker 8: And then when you came to see me, I... Well,
13:18
Speaker 8: I'm not frightened anymore.
13:20
Speaker 6: There's a nice quality about you, Doctor. You make me
13:22
Speaker 6: forget my sickness.
13:24
Speaker 7: Oh, never use that word. All you have is a
13:26
Speaker 7: tiny puncture in your lung.
13:28
Speaker 6: Like a tire?
13:29
Speaker 2: Like a tire.
13:30
Speaker 6: How many miles left in me?
13:32
Speaker 7: Many, if you don't speed.
13:33
Speaker 6: Well, I'll try to go slowly. When may I go
13:36
Speaker 6: to the village?
13:37
Speaker 7: Beating already?
13:38
Speaker 6: No, I only want.
13:39
Speaker 7: Well, I'm afraid there'll be some delay about that, Miss Duncan.
13:43
Speaker 7: Starting tomorrow, you've got to spend a whole month in bed.
13:46
Speaker 7: If you need anything from the village, I'll have it
13:48
Speaker 7: sent from there.
13:48
Speaker 6: A whole month in bed? Oh, no!
13:51
Speaker 7: That will be a month well spent, if you're a
13:53
Speaker 7: good girl.
13:54
Speaker 6: Is it necessary to refer to me as a child?
13:56
Speaker 7: Well, up here, in a way, you are a child.
13:59
Speaker 7: You have no responsibilities. You make no decisions.
14:02
Speaker 6: And who will make my decisions?
14:04
Speaker 4: I will.
14:05
Speaker 7: And your first day up, I'll take you to the
14:07
Speaker 7: village myself. All right?
14:08
Speaker 6: It has to be. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it
14:13
Speaker 6: that way. Yes, it's all right, Doctor. It's fine. Karen! Hey! Celestine!
14:25
Speaker 13: Out on the balcony.
14:26
Speaker 6: Come here.
14:27
Speaker 14: Oh, hello.
14:28
Speaker 13: Well, how was your afternoon?
14:29
Speaker 6: Oh, wonderful. Do you know how we went? A horse
14:32
Speaker 6: and buggy.
14:33
Speaker 15: Oh, naturally.
14:34
Speaker 6: Nothing as fast as a car. Slow down, says the
14:36
Speaker 6: good doctor.
14:38
Speaker 13: Well, have you fallen in love with him yet?
14:40
Speaker 6: Oh, don't be an idiot. There's case history, darling.
14:42
Speaker 13: Every woman here goes through it.
14:44
Speaker 6: And they learn to hate him. Hate him?
14:46
Speaker 13: Oh, no, of course not. But we soon find out his.
14:49
Speaker 6: Concern is purely professional. Part of the treatment, you know,
14:52
Speaker 6: keeps the patient happy. Well, it's a very sound principle,
14:55
Speaker 6: isn't it? Well, at least he divides his charm equally.
14:58
Speaker 9: He's fair about it.
14:59
Speaker 6: Ten drops with every meal. Oh, he isn't always so methodical.
15:03
Speaker 6: Excuse me, Celestine. I have a room full of packages
15:05
Speaker 6: to open.
15:07
Speaker 12: Up.
15:07
Speaker 7: Come in, Karen. Had your lunch?
15:09
Speaker 15: Uh-huh.
15:10
Speaker 6: Hubertus said that you were.
15:11
Speaker 7: Yes, you're a new X-ray. As long as you're here,
15:13
Speaker 7: take a look.
15:14
Speaker 6: Well, they all look alike to me.
15:16
Speaker 7: They're not, though. The only thing they have in common
15:19
Speaker 7: is that they're you. A part of you, anyway.
15:21
Speaker 6: Not a very flattering one. How am I getting along?
15:25
Speaker 7: I'll tell you tomorrow.
15:26
Speaker 6: Oh, you say that every time you examine me. Don't
15:28
Speaker 6: you ever think about today?
15:30
Speaker 7: Of course I do, very much.
15:31
Speaker 6: Well, what do you think of me today?
15:33
Speaker 7: I think you're a very lovely and talented young woman
15:36
Speaker 7: who still has some distance to go.
15:38
Speaker 6: Well, that's a concession. I'm a lovely, talented woman.
15:41
Speaker 7: Yes, who's taking up more of my time than she should.
15:43
Speaker 6: Oh, don't throw me out, Tony. I feel so good,
15:46
Speaker 6: so at one with everything.
15:48
Speaker 7: It's a gift for the mountains, just high metabolism.
15:50
Speaker 6: Oh, I prefer a musical term, harmony.
15:53
Speaker 8: Strange how the days here melt together.
15:56
Speaker 6: Like a perfect chord.
15:57
Speaker 7: That's the charm of living without a calendar. And living quietly.
16:00
Speaker 6: Oh, you can't say I'm not living quietly.
16:03
Speaker 7: And see that you stay that way?
16:04
Speaker 6: Yes, doctor.
16:06
Speaker 7: Oh, uh, I'll... I'll meet you in the house at
16:08
Speaker 7: three o'clock.
16:09
Speaker 6: Yes, doctor. Three o'clock.
16:21
Speaker 7: What are you looking for, Karen?
16:22
Speaker 4: Oh, uh.
16:24
Speaker 6: I didn't hear you come in.
16:25
Speaker 7: Sorry I was delayed. Need any help?
16:27
Speaker 8: Well, in your absence, I was going to start the fireplace,
16:30
Speaker 8: and since I had no matches, I was looking for
16:33
Speaker 8: some in.
16:33
Speaker 6: This table drawer.
16:34
Speaker 7: Quite a collection, isn't it?
16:35
Speaker 6: Dozens of cigarette lighters plundered from patients.
16:38
Speaker 7: None of those work. Here, try this one.
16:42
Speaker 6: Oh, it looks familiar.
16:44
Speaker 7: Odd, it should have your initials.
16:47
Speaker 6: I'm flattered you kept it.
16:49
Speaker 7: Now I have a little present for you.
16:51
Speaker 2: Here.
16:52
Speaker 6: A snuff box?
16:53
Speaker 7: Yes, but since I forbid the use of snuff, use
16:56
Speaker 7: it for your pills. It's quite old, I think. I
16:59
Speaker 7: found it in the village.
17:00
Speaker 6: Oh, it's lovely.
17:01
Speaker 7: Oh, careful. It's full. You know when to take those pills,
17:04
Speaker 7: don't you?
17:05
Speaker 6: You better tell me. If and when I have an attack.
17:08
Speaker 6: Thank you, Tony.
17:09
Speaker 7: Hey, where did those come from?
17:11
Speaker 6: The flowers? Oh, I didn't bring the flowers to you.
17:14
Speaker 4: Oh, you didn't?
17:14
Speaker 6: No, I brought them to the piano. That vase on
17:18
Speaker 6: top looks so empty, I.
17:20
Speaker 6: I don't suppose you'd let me play, would you?
17:23
Speaker 7: No, I don't suppose I would.
17:25
Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
17:26
Speaker 6: All right, then you play it.
17:28
Speaker 7: Oh, that would be slightly horrible.
17:30
Speaker 5: Oh, please.
17:30
Speaker 7: Oh, I couldn't possibly. Well, not with you standing next
17:33
Speaker 7: to me.
17:33
Speaker 6: Well, then I'll walk over here.
17:34
Speaker 12: I played that when I was 16.
17:45
Speaker 6: I can see myself now, my hair engraved, very serious
17:48
Speaker 6: and very determined... Oop. That's where my music teacher tried
17:53
Speaker 6: to kiss me.
17:54
Speaker 7: Any other memories like that?
17:56
Speaker 6: Oh, a few.
17:58
Speaker 8: There's been a lot of men in my life, Doctor. Brahms, Beethoven, Mozart.
18:03
Speaker 8: All very possessive.
18:04
Speaker 6: They demanded all of me.
18:05
Speaker 7: Did you give them all?
18:08
Speaker 6: Well, I... I thought so then. But I don't think
18:12
Speaker 6: so now.
18:13
Speaker 7: Uh-oh, there goes the bell. Rest period.
18:15
Speaker 6: I didn't hear a thing.
18:16
Speaker 4: I did.
18:17
Speaker 7: It was paging Miss Duncan, I'm afraid. Come on. I'll
18:20
Speaker 7: walk over with you.
18:21
Speaker 6: If I'm very good, may I go to the village
18:23
Speaker 6: soon again?
18:24
Speaker 7: Tomorrow, if you like. Just you and the horse this time.
18:27
Speaker 4: I'll be pretty busy.
18:40
Speaker 8: Hey.
18:41
Speaker 3: How about a lift?
18:42
Speaker 6: What? Whoa, boy, whoa.
18:44
Speaker 7: I said, how about a lift?
18:45
Speaker 2: Look what happened to me.
18:46
Speaker 6: That's your car in the ditch?
18:48
Speaker 2: Yes, I've always had difficulty with curves.
18:51
Speaker 6: That's a racing car, isn't it?
18:53
Speaker 2: Of a sort. It's going to be a long walk
18:55
Speaker 2: into town for a tow car unless I can get
18:56
Speaker 2: a lift.
18:57
Speaker 6: Well, climb up.
18:58
Speaker 2: Thanks.
18:59
Speaker 6: You're going to find this a little slow after a
19:01
Speaker 6: racing car.
19:02
Speaker 2: I like extremes. Oh, my name is Claremont. Paul Claremont.
19:07
Speaker 2: Like a cigarette?
19:08
Speaker 6: Oh, no, thank you. Not just now.
19:10
Speaker 2: The air has a bite up here.
19:12
Speaker 7: It's nice.
19:14
Speaker 6: It's the new snow on the mountains. Where did you
19:16
Speaker 6: come from?
19:17
Speaker 2: Monte Carlo. I came up for the race.
19:19
Speaker 6: What race?
19:19
Speaker 2: Next Sunday. Haven't you heard about it?
19:21
Speaker 6: No, I haven't. How is life in Monte Carlo?
19:24
Speaker 2: Oh, the way it always is. The wheels spin, the
19:26
Speaker 2: pawnbroker retires young, and I always lose. Why don't you
19:30
Speaker 2: come down to Monte Carlo and bring me some luck?
19:32
Speaker 2: I could have you there in 95 minutes.
19:34
Speaker 6: With a broken neck? No, thank you. I like it
19:36
Speaker 6: too much up here.
19:37
Speaker 2: So do I. I never ran off a road with
19:40
Speaker 2: such interesting results before. How soon will we be in
19:43
Speaker 2: the village?
19:43
Speaker 6: A few minutes.
19:44
Speaker 4: Ah, pity.
19:45
Speaker 6: Oh? I gathered you'd like to get places in a hurry.
19:48
Speaker 2: Well, speed isn't necessarily.
19:50
Speaker 4: movement.
19:50
Speaker 2: It can be a philosophy, a pattern for living.
19:53
Speaker 8: Oh, for winning races, yes. Do you want me to
19:55
Speaker 8: drop you off at a garage?
19:57
Speaker 2: Whither thou goest, there goest I.
19:59
Speaker 8: Oh, well, that would be hard for both of us.
20:02
Speaker 6: A garage.
20:03
Speaker 2: But I won't have time to thank you. I could
20:04
Speaker 2: do it much better at dinner.
20:06
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm sorry. I have an engagement. I'm going shopping.
20:08
Speaker 2: Well, there's a hotel in town. If we met there,
20:10
Speaker 2: we could.
20:10
Speaker 6: I am meeting someone there. Now.
20:12
Speaker 2: Oh. Well, lunch tomorrow.
20:15
Speaker 6: Engagement.
20:16
Speaker 2: Dinner tomorrow.
20:17
Speaker 6: Engagement.
20:17
Speaker 2: Sounds terribly monotonous.
20:19
Speaker 3: It isn't.
20:20
Speaker 2: Well, this can't go on forever. You're going to see
20:22
Speaker 2: the race, of course.
20:22
Speaker 4: No.
20:23
Speaker 2: I'll get you a box, and after I've won it,
20:25
Speaker 2: we'll have cocktails and dinner.
20:26
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I'm not going to the race.
20:28
Speaker 2: I don't blame you, but I'll meet you just the same.
20:30
Speaker 2: The bar at the hotel will start at six, and
20:31
Speaker 2: then perhaps I can convince you that snow is for
20:33
Speaker 2: the cold and hot. The warm hearted live by the sea.
20:36
Speaker 6: I prefer the snow.
20:38
Speaker 2: Then I'll let you convince me. What are we stopping for?
20:41
Speaker 6: Here's the hotel.
20:42
Speaker 8: You'll find a garage just around the corner.
20:44
Speaker 6: Goodbye, Mr. Claremont.
20:45
Speaker 2: Thanks, and don't forget, Sunday at six o'clock.
20:54
Speaker 7: It's a pity you have to leave so soon, Professor Lineker.
20:57
Speaker 7: Karen will be heartbroken.
20:58
Speaker 16: But she didn't know I was coming, and perhaps it's
21:01
Speaker 16: just as well.
21:01
Speaker 7: I can't tell you how I appreciate your visit.
21:04
Speaker 16: When I sent Karen to you, Doctor, I had one regret.
21:07
Speaker 16: The world was losing a fine artist. We have too
21:11
Speaker 16: few that we can afford to be reckless with them.
21:14
Speaker 16: But now, after seeing the x-rays, this is hard, Stanton.
21:19
Speaker 7: It's more than that.
21:21
Speaker 16: I wish I could be of help to you. But
21:23
Speaker 16: all I can say, you've already found out for yourself.
21:26
Speaker 16: She has a chance. A very slim chance. How is
21:31
Speaker 16: she bearing up? She's been wonderful. Does she know how
21:34
Speaker 16: ill she is?
21:35
Speaker 7: No, no, no, she doesn't. I'm only.
21:37
Speaker 6: Professor Lineker!
21:38
Speaker 2: Karen!
21:39
Speaker 6: Oh, what a wonderful surprise. What a delight to see you.
21:42
Speaker 4: Careful, Karen.
21:42
Speaker 7: I'm not that old.
21:43
Speaker 6: When did you get here? How long are you staying?
21:45
Speaker 7: About two hours ago. I'm leaving right now.
21:47
Speaker 6: Oh, and I thought you came up here to take
21:49
Speaker 6: care of me.
21:50
Speaker 7: Let Dr. Stanton take care of you.
21:52
Speaker 5: Dr.
21:52
Speaker 6: Stanton's a jailer.
21:53
Speaker 7: Good.
21:54
Speaker 6: He doesn't know what the word leniency means. And I
21:56
Speaker 6: feel so strong now, so ready for anything.
21:58
Speaker 16: You do what he tells you, Karen. He knows how
22:01
Speaker 16: strong you are. Well, the car's waiting for me.
22:04
Speaker 4: Goodbye, Stanton.
22:05
Speaker 7: Goodbye, Professor, and many thanks.
22:06
Speaker 4: Goodbye, Karen. Write to me.
22:08
Speaker 6: Goodbye, I will. Oh, what a sweet man. Why didn't
22:11
Speaker 6: you tell me he was coming?
22:12
Speaker 7: I didn't know myself.
22:14
Speaker 6: Oh, I've had a glorious afternoon.
22:16
Speaker 7: So I noticed.
22:17
Speaker 6: How can you tell?
22:18
Speaker 7: You're flushed. Come in my office, will you? What happened
22:21
Speaker 7: this afternoon?
22:22
Speaker 6: Oh, nothing spectacular, and yet, in a way, something miraculous.
22:26
Speaker 7: Sit down.
22:27
Speaker 8: I was doing some shopping in the village, just a
22:29
Speaker 8: few little things, when suddenly I had the feeling that
22:32
Speaker 8: everything bad was over.
22:34
Speaker 6: I could pick up the threads of my life again.
22:35
Speaker 6: I was no longer different, no longer sick. I was
22:39
Speaker 6: as I had been. And something else, too. I've met someone,
22:45
Speaker 6: a very attractive man.
22:48
Speaker 15: Oh.
22:48
Speaker 8: Oh, Tony, it was so good for my morale. After
22:52
Speaker 8: the full impact had struck me, I knew I was
22:55
Speaker 8: well again.
22:55
Speaker 7: You'll be well. But you must go slowly.
22:58
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm going to hate that word.
23:00
Speaker 7: Karen, I have to ask you not to go to
23:03
Speaker 7: the village for a while.
23:04
Speaker 6: Why not?
23:05
Speaker 7: Because I think it's best.
23:06
Speaker 6: That's not the reason.
23:07
Speaker 7: Now, don't be too much of a woman.
23:09
Speaker 6: You know it's not.
23:10
Speaker 7: Well, let's not argue about it. Give me your hand.
23:13
Speaker 7: I have an idea of your culture.
23:14
Speaker 8: Oh, how can you be so everlastingly professional? Why must
23:17
Speaker 8: you deny any joy I have? I go to the village.
23:20
Speaker 8: Someone talks to me.
23:21
Speaker 6: I come back here singing inside, and you put on
23:23
Speaker 6: a long face and say, stay here and take my pulse,
23:26
Speaker 6: and act like a pompous... Oh, leave my hand alone.
23:28
Speaker 7: Too much excitement for one day, Karen. Here, one of
23:32
Speaker 7: your pills. Take it. Karen, take it. Did that help,
23:38
Speaker 7: smashing the glass?
23:39
Speaker 6: Yes, Dr. Stanton, it helped lots. Good night.
24:02
Speaker 4: Our stars, Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent, and Richard Connolly, will
24:05
Speaker 4: return in a moment with act two of The Other Love.
24:10
Speaker 4: What's that you're knitting, Libby? A sweater?
24:11
Speaker 6: Uh-huh. Jane Wyman gave me the directions.
24:14
Speaker 8: She made one just like it while she was on
24:16
Speaker 8: location in Arizona filming Cheyenne.
24:18
Speaker 4: You mean that new thriller of Warner Brothers? I hear
24:21
Speaker 4: it's the most lavish western they've ever made.
24:23
Speaker 6: The outdoor scenes are really magnificent.
24:25
Speaker 4: Well, if Jane went to Arizona to work, when did
24:28
Speaker 4: she get time to knit?
24:30
Speaker 8: Oh, she and Janice Page had a lot of free
24:32
Speaker 8: time while the big crowd scenes were being filmed.
24:34
Speaker 4: Did Dennis Morgan and Bruce Bennett wind the wool for
24:37
Speaker 4: the girls?
24:38
Speaker 6: No, they went all fishing when they weren't needed on
24:40
Speaker 6: the set.
24:41
Speaker 4: Nice work.
24:42
Speaker 8: Well, living in the desert country wasn't all fun for
24:44
Speaker 8: the cast of Cheyenne. The days were very hot and
24:47
Speaker 8: the nights bitter cold. The dust on the high plateaus
24:50
Speaker 8: got into everything. The girls' blouses and sweaters and cotton
24:54
Speaker 8: dresses had to be luxed over and over.
24:56
Speaker 4: Well, as long as they had plenty of luxe flakes along,
24:58
Speaker 4: there was nothing to worry about.
24:59
Speaker 6: That's right.
25:00
Speaker 8: The girls were delighted with the good care the wardrobe
25:03
Speaker 8: department took of their things. In spite of all that washing,
25:06
Speaker 8: their things still looked lovely when they got back.
25:09
Speaker 4: Well, naturally, with luxe. After all, tests by a well-known
25:13
Speaker 4: independent laboratory proved that with luxe care, colors stay lovely
25:17
Speaker 4: up to three times as long. It's wrong washing, using
25:21
Speaker 4: strong suds, hot water, or handling nice things roughly that
25:25
Speaker 4: does the damage. Often streaks and fades colors.
25:28
Speaker 8: Well, that's important, whether you've spent money buying nice things
25:31
Speaker 8: or time in making them. It's no wonder to me
25:34
Speaker 8: that stars appreciate luxe care just as much as girls everywhere.
25:38
Speaker 4: And don't forget, it costs so little to luxe a
25:41
Speaker 4: summer dress or a sweater, and colors stay fresh so
25:44
Speaker 4: much longer, luxe care is really thrifty.
25:48
Speaker 2: We return you now to William Keeley.
25:51
Speaker 5: It's curtain time for Act Two of The Other Love,
25:54
Speaker 5: starring Barbara Stanwyck as Karen Duncan, George Brent as Tony Stanton,
25:59
Speaker 5: and Richard Conte as Paul Claremont, with Joan Loring as Celestine.
26:14
Speaker 3: It's Sunday afternoon.
26:16
Speaker 5: On the grounds of the sanatorium, Karen suddenly encounters the
26:20
Speaker 5: patient from the suite next door, Celestine Miller.
26:24
Speaker 13: Karen, I've been looking all over for you.
26:26
Speaker 6: I'm leaving. I'm leaving here. I'm well. Celestine.
26:29
Speaker 13: He told me this morning, Tony, I'm leaving tomorrow.
26:31
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm so happy for you. Darling, come into town
26:34
Speaker 6: with me. Help me celebrate. Oh, I wish I could.
26:36
Speaker 6: I can't, Celestine.
26:37
Speaker 4: Oh.
26:38
Speaker 13: Doctor's orders?
26:39
Speaker 4: Uh-huh.
26:41
Speaker 6: What about your romantic interest, Mr. Claremont? He's in that
26:43
Speaker 6: automobile race today, isn't he? I turn over all rights
26:46
Speaker 6: to you. Oh, then give me a message for him.
26:48
Speaker 6: I'd love to meet him. You said the hotel bar,
26:50
Speaker 6: didn't you? There's no message. Run along, Celestine. Have a
26:53
Speaker 6: good time. Where are you going? I feel like some music.
26:56
Speaker 6: Maybe Tony will.
26:57
Speaker 8: Let me use his phonograph if I don't overexcite myself.
27:00
Speaker 13: Not much danger of that, darling.
27:02
Speaker 6: Tony's gone.
27:02
Speaker 15: Gone?
27:03
Speaker 6: He went to the village, too. Won't be back till late. Oh. Well,
27:07
Speaker 6: I still feel like some music.
27:18
Speaker 8: Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor. Karen Duncan,
27:23
Speaker 8: pianist in the London Symphony Orchestra. An album of Chopin waltzes.
27:29
Speaker 8: Karen Duncan, soloist.
27:36
Speaker 11: The End.
27:47
Speaker 6: Don't be angry if I play, Tony. Just this once.
27:50
Speaker 15: I can't.
27:50
Speaker 2: I can't.
27:52
Speaker 11: I can't. Karen!
28:26
Speaker 9: So you came after all.
28:27
Speaker 6: Hello, Celestine. What are you doing here at the bar,
28:30
Speaker 6: looking for me or poor Clem? I'm not looking for anyone. Incidentally,
28:34
Speaker 6: he lost the race. His car broke down. He wasn't hurt. Oh, no,
28:37
Speaker 6: he's been here a dozen times looking for you. He
28:39
Speaker 6: has no right to be sure I'd come. Darling, please. Oh,
28:43
Speaker 6: I've got something for you. I'm going to make you
28:45
Speaker 6: my heir. Do you feel all right? Just slightly delirious,
28:48
Speaker 6: wouldn't you, if you were going home? Here, it's a key.
28:52
Speaker 6: It comes in very handy. A key to what?
28:54
Speaker 13: Passkey to the sanatorium.
28:56
Speaker 6: I got it months ago from the night watchman. Any
28:58
Speaker 6: time you stay out after hours, just use the servant's entrance.
29:01
Speaker 6: That's sweet of you, but I won't be out after hours. Oh,
29:03
Speaker 6: take it. Please, Karen.
29:05
Speaker 13: And promise me no matter how late you come in tonight,
29:07
Speaker 13: knock on my door.
29:08
Speaker 6: I'm going back now. I've got to pack three big trunks.
29:11
Speaker 5: Oh.
29:12
Speaker 6: What's the matter?
29:12
Speaker 13: There he is, poor Claremont.
29:14
Speaker 6: Just when I have to leave. Oh, Celestine, no, don't go. Goodbye, darling.
29:18
Speaker 13: Have yourself a time.
29:24
Speaker 6: Hello. Hello.
29:25
Speaker 2: I had just about given you up.
29:27
Speaker 6: Too bad about the race, Mr. Claremont.
29:29
Speaker 7: Oh, you saw it?
29:30
Speaker 6: No, I didn't see it. You're going back to Monte
29:33
Speaker 6: Carlo now?
29:34
Speaker 4: I was.
29:34
Speaker 2: Now I can phone and cancel it.
29:36
Speaker 6: Aren't you a bit previous breaking a date?
29:38
Speaker 2: Oh, he'll be there tomorrow, too.
29:39
Speaker 6: He?
29:40
Speaker 7: Yes, the croupier at the roulette table.
29:42
Speaker 6: You're giving him up for me? This is the ultimate sacrifice.
29:46
Speaker 2: See how serious I am about you? I'm even neglecting
29:48
Speaker 2: my vices. Besides, the croupier has become routine. I'd like
29:51
Speaker 2: to avoid routine. Let's go inside and have dinner. What
29:56
Speaker 2: are you smiling about?
29:57
Speaker 9: You?
29:58
Speaker 6: You don't even know my name.
29:59
Speaker 2: What's that got to do with dinner?
30:01
Speaker 6: Nothing. Thank you. I'd love to have dinner.
30:10
Speaker 7: But she must be here, Huberta. What about outside?
30:13
Speaker 6: No one's seen her, Doctor. Not since this afternoon.
30:15
Speaker 7: Well, if you should see her, I'll be in Celestine
30:17
Speaker 7: Miller's room.
30:18
Speaker 6: Mrs. Miller?
30:19
Speaker 3: Yes.
30:20
Speaker 7: She's been taken ill.
30:21
Speaker 4: Quite sudden.
30:30
Speaker 2: More coffee?
30:31
Speaker 6: No, thank you, Paul.
30:32
Speaker 2: How about a brandy?
30:34
Speaker 8: Oh, this is exhilarating enough.
30:36
Speaker 6: Look, through the window, the ski run. They go so fast,
30:39
Speaker 6: like shooting stars. How fast do they go?
30:43
Speaker 2: Well, it's about a quarter of a mile from the
30:44
Speaker 2: ski huts of the first jump out there. I did
30:47
Speaker 2: it yesterday in 23 and 3 tenths seconds. Not good,
30:49
Speaker 2: not bad.
30:50
Speaker 6: I see you're a second splitter.
30:52
Speaker 2: It's the only way to be.
30:53
Speaker 6: Why?
30:54
Speaker 2: Because it's in that split second that we really live.
30:56
Speaker 6: Oh, that makes for a short life.
30:58
Speaker 2: It's the best way to measure time. Look at my watch.
31:01
Speaker 6: I'm looking.
31:02
Speaker 2: I love you. Those three words took exactly nine tenths
31:05
Speaker 2: of a second. But there are years in them.
31:08
Speaker 6: A remarkable watch.
31:09
Speaker 2: Where would you like to go?
31:11
Speaker 6: You mean there are other places?
31:12
Speaker 2: Well, there's a city called Paris. A very beautiful city.
31:15
Speaker 2: There's also London, Cairo, Athens.
31:17
Speaker 6: All beautiful cities.
31:19
Speaker 2: And not one of them wouldn't be graced by your
31:20
Speaker 2: being there.
31:21
Speaker 6: Another man once told me that.
31:23
Speaker 2: Who?
31:23
Speaker 6: A clerk in a travel bureau.
31:25
Speaker 2: I'm not a clerk in a travel bureau. My tour
31:27
Speaker 2: will be more encompassing. It's time to stop.
31:31
Speaker 6: You want to leave right now?
31:32
Speaker 2: Do you think I was joking?
31:34
Speaker 6: Well, you can't mean it.
31:35
Speaker 2: I never meant anything so much in my life.
31:36
Speaker 6: Well, it's insane. I couldn't possibly go.
31:39
Speaker 2: Why not?
31:41
Speaker 6: Well, I've so much to do. You just can't revise
31:45
Speaker 6: your whole life in a split second.
31:46
Speaker 2: Of course you can. You mustn't be frightened at speed.
31:49
Speaker 2: When you're going real fast, you don't dare look back.
31:52
Speaker 6: Well, if that's the way it is, that's the way
31:54
Speaker 6: it is. But there's one thing I can't do. Face
31:57
Speaker 6: an unknown future with an unpowdered nose.
32:00
Speaker 5: Do you agree?
32:01
Speaker 4: Go ahead.
32:01
Speaker 17: I'll wait for you here.
32:04
Speaker 4: A message for Mr. Claremont, madame.
32:06
Speaker 2: But I believe Mr. Claremont is in the dining room now.
32:08
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I know he is. Just tell him his
32:10
Speaker 6: watch goes too fast for me.
32:12
Speaker 13: His what?
32:13
Speaker 6: Please, he'll understand.
32:14
Speaker 11: Celestine.
32:26
Speaker 6: Celestine, are you awake? Miss Duncan. Oh. I know I
32:31
Speaker 6: have no right coming in at this hour, Hubert. I'll
32:33
Speaker 6: go to bed just as soon as I've seen Mrs. Miller.
32:36
Speaker 6: Please don't go in there.
32:37
Speaker 11: Mrs.
32:37
Speaker 6: Miller has left. What do you mean she's left?
32:41
Speaker 5: Oh.
32:43
Speaker 6: Oh, no.
32:44
Speaker 15: No.
32:45
Speaker 6: Miss Duncan, wait.
32:46
Speaker 13: Miss Duncan.
32:52
Speaker 8: Dr.
32:52
Speaker 10: Stanton, Miss Duncan is back, but she's leaving. She's going
32:55
Speaker 10: down the stairs now. You can stop her in the lobby.
33:03
Speaker 10: But how could it have happened? You said Celestine was cured.
33:05
Speaker 7: I never told her that.
33:07
Speaker 6: But you did. She said you did.
33:08
Speaker 7: I told Celestine the truth, or most of the truth.
33:11
Speaker 7: But we've done all we could for her here.
33:12
Speaker 6: When my time comes, how much of the truth will
33:14
Speaker 6: you tell me?
33:15
Speaker 7: Oh, you're different, Karen. You're someone else. Your time isn't
33:18
Speaker 7: going to come.
33:19
Speaker 6: How am I different? You lied to me the same
33:21
Speaker 6: way you lied to Celestine. You lied the first night
33:23
Speaker 6: I came here about that noise I heard. I did
33:25
Speaker 6: hear an iron door. Tonight I saw it. They were
33:27
Speaker 6: wheeling her through it.
33:28
Speaker 7: Karen, please. I'll take it to your room.
33:30
Speaker 2: No.
33:31
Speaker 7: If you don't, you may be very ill.
33:32
Speaker 6: How ill am I now?
33:34
Speaker 7: You have every chance.
33:35
Speaker 6: That's what you've said all along.
33:36
Speaker 7: And I'll continue to say it. But you must help yourself.
33:39
Speaker 8: Why was Professor Lineker up here? You sent for him.
33:41
Speaker 4: Yes.
33:42
Speaker 7: I was afraid for you.
33:43
Speaker 6: How much time have I got? A year?
33:45
Speaker 7: A month?
33:45
Speaker 6: Three months?
33:46
Speaker 7: You have your whole life. Well, it's got to be
33:48
Speaker 7: a careful life. For a long time, you've.
33:51
Speaker 4: Got to rest.
33:52
Speaker 7: You've got to sleep. You've got to be an automaton.
33:55
Speaker 7: Not acting on impulse, Karen, but always under control. You
34:00
Speaker 7: can't afford to have a free will anymore.
34:02
Speaker 6: An automaton. That's how you treat human beings. Like machines.
34:06
Speaker 8: You try to keep them running, and if one stops,
34:08
Speaker 8: you go on to the next. Well, I'm tired of
34:10
Speaker 8: resting and sleeping. Don't you see what I am, what
34:13
Speaker 8: I want to be?
34:14
Speaker 6: Don't you realize I've never really lived?
34:16
Speaker 7: I didn't either. Until you came up here.
34:18
Speaker 6: What does that mean?
34:19
Speaker 7: It means that I love you.
34:22
Speaker 3: I don't believe it.
34:24
Speaker 7: What will you believe?
34:25
Speaker 6: Nothing. Nothing anymore. I feel well now. I felt well
34:29
Speaker 6: for a long time.
34:30
Speaker 7: Karen, that's a deception.
34:31
Speaker 6: If it is, we're even.
34:32
Speaker 7: All right. I can't keep you here. Forget what I
34:35
Speaker 7: just said. But you're important to music. Stay here and
34:39
Speaker 7: get well for the sake of music.
34:41
Speaker 6: Which treatment is this, Doctor? Love didn't work and now
34:43
Speaker 6: you try music. The music that brought me here. Well,
34:46
Speaker 6: that won't work either.
34:48
Speaker 8: Faith in your ability is the most you ever gave me,
34:50
Speaker 8: and now even that's been taken away.
34:52
Speaker 6: No, doctor. No, I can't stay here any longer. Don't
35:07
Speaker 6: look at your watch, Paul. I know how long I've
35:09
Speaker 6: been gone.
35:10
Speaker 2: Did you powder your nose?
35:12
Speaker 6: Yes. Yes, I powdered my nose.
35:15
Speaker 2: Everything all right?
35:16
Speaker 6: Everything's fine. How did you know I'd be back? Didn't
35:19
Speaker 6: you get my message?
35:20
Speaker 2: Yes, I got your message.
35:22
Speaker 17: My car's at the curb.
35:23
Speaker 4: Let's go. You look tired.
35:30
Speaker 2: Why don't you go to sleep? I'll wake you when
35:32
Speaker 2: we reach Monte Carlo.
35:33
Speaker 8: I think I will. Oh, by the way, there's something
35:36
Speaker 8: I think you should know. My name is Karen Duncan.
35:38
Speaker 2: Not the Karen Duncan.
35:41
Speaker 3: Yes, the.
35:41
Speaker 2: If Chopin could see me now.
35:53
Speaker 6: Hello?
35:53
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, remember me?
35:55
Speaker 6: Oh, I seem too faintly. Paul, did you say afternoon?
35:59
Speaker 2: It's two o'clock.
35:59
Speaker 6: Oh, no.
36:00
Speaker 2: I had lunch sent up to your room. Didn't you
36:02
Speaker 2: eat it?
36:02
Speaker 6: Oh, I thought it was breakfast.
36:04
Speaker 2: Go over to the window.
36:05
Speaker 4: Open it up.
36:05
Speaker 6: What?
36:06
Speaker 2: Don't ask questions.
36:07
Speaker 4: Just do as I say.
36:08
Speaker 6: Very well.
36:12
Speaker 4: Hello.
36:13
Speaker 2: Hello.
36:14
Speaker 6: I didn't know your room was so close.
36:16
Speaker 17: What are you doing in half an hour?
36:17
Speaker 6: Oh, something very important.
36:19
Speaker 17: More important than me?
36:20
Speaker 6: Much. I'm buying clothes.
36:21
Speaker 16: What time, then?
36:22
Speaker 6: About seven?
36:23
Speaker 17: You know how many hours there are till seven?
36:25
Speaker 6: I'll try to make the waiting worthwhile. Seven o'clock. By
36:28
Speaker 6: that watch of yours. Come in.
36:40
Speaker 2: At the tone, it will be exactly seven... Well, what
36:45
Speaker 2: a gown. A shock like that can kill a man.
36:48
Speaker 6: But not you.
36:48
Speaker 2: What a wonderful way to die. Here, the finishing touch.
36:54
Speaker 2: What's the matter? Don't you like orchids?
36:57
Speaker 6: No. Not white orchids. Why not? Nothing. I once had
37:05
Speaker 6: a bad dream about them.
37:06
Speaker 2: This is no place for a bad dream. Close your eyes.
37:11
Speaker 2: Now what do you see?
37:13
Speaker 6: Nothing.
37:14
Speaker 2: This will take their place.
37:15
Speaker 6: Don't hold me, Paul. Please.
37:16
Speaker 2: Karen, one kiss.
37:18
Speaker 6: Paul, I.
37:21
Speaker 15: Yes, of course, darling. Of course.
37:33
Speaker 2: Aren't you coming inside, darling? I've got a stack of
37:34
Speaker 2: chips that high. I've never had so much luck in
37:37
Speaker 2: my life.
37:37
Speaker 6: A likely story. You've lost every night since we've been here.
37:40
Speaker 2: Who's talking about roulette?
37:42
Speaker 3: You're my luck.
37:43
Speaker 6: Paul, sit here for a moment. This is a beautiful room.
37:48
Speaker 6: Why do they have music rooms in gambling casinos?
37:51
Speaker 2: So you can play for me? Please.
38:05
Speaker 6: How long have we been here? Is it five days
38:09
Speaker 6: or five seconds?
38:10
Speaker 7: Is that important?
38:11
Speaker 6: No. Look out there. The waves are white. From the mountains,
38:18
Speaker 6: the sea appeared so near. Now from the sea, the
38:21
Speaker 6: mountains seem so far away.
38:23
Speaker 2: I want them to seem that way.
38:25
Speaker 6: So do I.
38:27
Speaker 2: I want every place except where we are to be
38:28
Speaker 2: unbelievably distant. I want everything except this place, this moment,
38:32
Speaker 2: to vanish in a mist. Nothing else exists.
38:35
Speaker 7: Nothing.
38:36
Speaker 8: Paul, Paul.
38:36
Speaker 4: Darling, darling, what is it?
38:38
Speaker 2: I kiss you and it's like kissing a dream. Who
38:40
Speaker 2: are you? What are you? I don't know. You appeared suddenly,
38:43
Speaker 2: for all I know, you may disappear again.
38:45
Speaker 8: No, no.
38:46
Speaker 2: I feel that I must hold you, that if I don't,
38:47
Speaker 2: you'll vanish. Karen, love is the easiest and the hardest
38:50
Speaker 2: word to say. This time it's hard because my whole
38:54
Speaker 2: heart's behind it.
38:56
Speaker 6: You don't have to say it.
38:57
Speaker 2: Karen.
38:58
Speaker 6: I'll be back.
38:59
Speaker 2: Karen.
38:59
Speaker 6: Wait, wait here, Paul. I'll be back.
39:11
Speaker 13: Madame, is something wrong?
39:12
Speaker 6: Oh, please. Water. A glass of water.
39:17
Speaker 8: Yes, madame.
39:17
Speaker 6: Oh, please. Oh, God, not now. Not now. I am coming, madame.
39:26
Speaker 6: My purse here. The little box with the pillow. Here.
39:31
Speaker 9: Here, madame, here.
39:32
Speaker 12: And now the water.
39:33
Speaker 6: Thank you. Thank you.
39:34
Speaker 17: Karen, are you all right?
39:46
Speaker 6: Yes, of course. Well... What about all those chips you bought?
39:50
Speaker 2: Well, if you're ready, let's watch them disappear.
39:52
Speaker 6: Oh, you run along, dear. I'd like to be alone
39:55
Speaker 6: just for a moment.
39:55
Speaker 2: All right, I'll see you later, darling.
40:01
Speaker 11: Hello, Karen.
40:07
Speaker 7: The nocturne. That's where he kissed you. Your piano teacher.
40:12
Speaker 6: Tony.
40:12
Speaker 7: It wasn't easy finding him.
40:14
Speaker 6: And such a waste of time.
40:16
Speaker 7: I don't think so.
40:17
Speaker 6: I'm my own doctor now. I make my own diagnosis.
40:20
Speaker 8: It's very simple. I have morning temperatures and evening chills.
40:24
Speaker 8: I'm losing weight and I don't care.
40:25
Speaker 7: You must care.
40:26
Speaker 6: Why? So I can go back to the mountains?
40:29
Speaker 8: Be a patient again filled with pity and false hopes?
40:33
Speaker 8: I'm on the highest mountain in the world right now.
40:36
Speaker 8: But you wouldn't understand that. No, Tony, I won't go back.
40:39
Speaker 7: I haven't asked you to.
40:40
Speaker 6: But you will if I give you the chance. When
40:43
Speaker 6: I left, I made a deal with myself.
40:46
Speaker 8: I made it even if I had to pay days
40:48
Speaker 8: of time for every second of happiness.
40:51
Speaker 7: And you're happy?
40:53
Speaker 6: Happier than I've ever been before.
40:54
Speaker 7: I don't believe it.
40:55
Speaker 6: I didn't ask you to come here. I want you
40:57
Speaker 6: to leave me alone. Please, go away. Go away. Yes, Karen.
41:19
Speaker 4: We pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the
41:23
Speaker 4: Columbia Broadcasting System.
41:46
Speaker 5: In a moment, we'll bring you Act Three of The
41:48
Speaker 5: Other Love, starring Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent, and Richard Conti.
41:53
Speaker 5: Hollywood talent doesn't often arrive by mail, but young Patricia Alvin,
41:57
Speaker 5: our guest tonight, did. She delivered a letter to a
42:00
Speaker 5: Hollywood producer, and that brief, personal appearance led to a
42:04
Speaker 5: contract with Universal International.
42:07
Speaker 3: What are you doing now, Pat?
42:08
Speaker 13: Studying dramatics, Mr.
42:09
Speaker 6: Keeley.
42:10
Speaker 13: I'm watching other actors and actresses around the studio.
42:13
Speaker 3: An excellent way to gain experience. Did you see anything
42:16
Speaker 3: of Sam Wood's production, Ivy?
42:18
Speaker 5: Oh, yes.
42:19
Speaker 13: Joan Fontaine is a special favorite of mine, so I.
42:21
Speaker 6: Was on the set a lot.
42:22
Speaker 5: Joan, Patrick Knowles, and Herbert Marshall add up to a
42:25
Speaker 5: splendid cast in Ivy.
42:26
Speaker 13: What thrilled me especially was seeing Joan's studio bungalow.
42:29
Speaker 3: Decorated with a vine in honor of the picture's title,
42:32
Speaker 3: I understand.
42:33
Speaker 6: Yes.
42:34
Speaker 13: And then one night it was damaged by fire. Joan
42:36
Speaker 13: lost a lot of lovely things, but not her nylons.
42:39
Speaker 3: How was that?
42:40
Speaker 13: Well, she had just ordered two dozen new ones, but
42:43
Speaker 13: they had been delivered to the wardrobe room instead of
42:45
Speaker 13: to her directly.
42:46
Speaker 3: That was lucky.
42:47
Speaker 5: But John Kennedy here can tell you another way studios
42:50
Speaker 5: take care of nylons.
42:51
Speaker 4: With Luxe flakes, naturally. Of course, Luxe won't make nylons fireproof,
42:56
Speaker 4: but with ordinary wear and Luxe care, nylons can last
42:59
Speaker 4: twice as long.
43:00
Speaker 13: Oh, I think Luxe is wonderful for stockings. I always
43:02
Speaker 13: use it myself, and mine do last an amazingly long time.
43:06
Speaker 4: Strain tests prove that's true. A famous laboratory took dozens
43:10
Speaker 4: of pairs of stockings, nylon, silk, rayon, and cotton. They
43:14
Speaker 4: washed them different ways, some with luxe, some with a
43:16
Speaker 4: strong soap, and rubbed some with cake soap. Then subjected
43:20
Speaker 4: them to the same kind of strains they get in
43:22
Speaker 4: ordinary wear. Believe me, the results were amazing. The luxed
43:26
Speaker 4: ones far outlasted the others. In fact, lasted twice as long.
43:30
Speaker 4: So you see how easy it is to cut down runs.
43:33
Speaker 4: Just use Lux Flakes for your stockings always.
43:35
Speaker 13: Well, I can tell you, Mr. Kennedy, from my own experience,
43:38
Speaker 13: I wouldn't be without Lux.
43:40
Speaker 4: Thank you, Pat Alfin, and thank you for coming tonight.
43:42
Speaker 4: Good luck.
43:43
Speaker 3: Here's Mr.
43:44
Speaker 4: Keeley at the microphone.
43:45
Speaker 5: Presenting Act Three of The Other Love, starring Barbara Stanwyck
43:49
Speaker 5: as Karen, George Brent as Tony, and Richard Conte as Paul.
44:03
Speaker 5: It's a few minutes later. Paul Claremont has just received
44:07
Speaker 5: a message. In an ante room of the gambling casino,
44:11
Speaker 5: he meets the man who sent it.
44:14
Speaker 2: Dr. Stanton?
44:15
Speaker 7: Yes.
44:16
Speaker 2: The attendant said you wanted to see me. I don't
44:18
Speaker 2: know you, do I?
44:19
Speaker 4: No.
44:20
Speaker 7: But you know Karen Duncan. How long have you known her?
44:24
Speaker 2: Now, just a minute.
44:25
Speaker 7: I'll answer for you. Not very long. You met her
44:28
Speaker 7: while you were racing up in the mountains, am I right?
44:31
Speaker 2: What if you are?
44:33
Speaker 7: Did she tell you what she was doing up there?
44:34
Speaker 2: I didn't ask her. That was her business. I'm not
44:36
Speaker 2: so sure it's yours. Would you mind coming to the point,
44:39
Speaker 2: whatever it is?
44:40
Speaker 7: All right. If she didn't see fit to tell you
44:43
Speaker 7: what's the matter, then I have to. Miss Duncan is
44:46
Speaker 7: very ill. She looks very ill, doesn't she? That's one
44:48
Speaker 7: of the tricks of her illness. She is a patient
44:51
Speaker 7: that has not been discharged from Mount Fiery Sanatorium.
44:54
Speaker 4: How do you know?
44:55
Speaker 7: I was her doctor.
44:56
Speaker 2: She never said a word. Why didn't she tell me?
44:58
Speaker 7: Well, I can think of several reasons. While she was
45:01
Speaker 7: up there, she suffered a severe shock. I think it
45:04
Speaker 7: was that more than anything else that drove her down here.
45:07
Speaker 7: She's trying to turn her back on the past.
45:09
Speaker 2: Let me get one thing clear. As far as Karen
45:11
Speaker 2: is concerned, who am I talking to? To a doctor
45:13
Speaker 2: or the past?
45:14
Speaker 7: To her doctor.
45:15
Speaker 2: Why didn't you leave the choice up to her?
45:16
Speaker 7: I did. A few minutes ago.
45:18
Speaker 2: You've seen her? You've asked her to go back?
45:20
Speaker 7: She refused. You're my last court of appeal, Claremont. The
45:23
Speaker 7: choice is up to you. Yes, and a very small
45:25
Speaker 7: choice it is. I'm not asking you to force her
45:27
Speaker 7: back to Mount Beers. Take her to any mountains. Take
45:29
Speaker 7: her to the desert. Egypt, Arizona. Anywhere the climate will
45:33
Speaker 7: help her. If you don't, you'll kill her. Kill her?
45:37
Speaker 7: Until tonight, she's been committing suicide. But now that you know,
45:40
Speaker 7: and if you don't try to stop her, you're committing murder.
45:43
Speaker 2: So.
45:45
Speaker 2: Now, if you'll excuse me, Doctor, good night. Go, Alex.
45:48
Speaker 17: Alex, just a minute.
45:59
Speaker 13: Paul, where have you been?
46:02
Speaker 6: Come and have a drink.
46:03
Speaker 2: I have something for you better than the drink. I've
46:05
Speaker 2: just been talking to Alex Sorrell.
46:07
Speaker 6: Oh, your friend with the yacht?
46:08
Speaker 17: Yes, he's leaving the casino.
46:09
Speaker 2: He's throwing a big party on the yacht. Come on,
46:11
Speaker 2: there's a launch waiting for us. Let's see it. Well,
46:22
Speaker 2: how do you like the yacht?
46:23
Speaker 6: It's a little breathtaking. But don't you think we ought
46:26
Speaker 6: to join our host?
46:27
Speaker 4: Not yet.
46:27
Speaker 2: I have something else to show you. This stateroom.
46:31
Speaker 15: Like it?
46:32
Speaker 2: It's yours.
46:33
Speaker 6: What do you mean it's mine?
46:34
Speaker 2: Oh, I forgot to tell you. We're leaving Monte Carlo
46:36
Speaker 2: in the morning. So El's taking us on a cruise.
46:38
Speaker 4: Oh. No, I can't.
46:40
Speaker 2: I'm having your luggage sent up from the hotel. We're
46:43
Speaker 2: going to Egypt.
46:44
Speaker 6: Egypt?
46:44
Speaker 2: I'm taking a six-month lease on a pyramid.
46:46
Speaker 6: Paul.
46:47
Speaker 2: I saw Dr.
46:47
Speaker 6: Stanton, Karen.
46:49
Speaker 2: He asked me to take you to Egypt. It's true,
46:51
Speaker 2: isn't it?
46:53
Speaker 4: Yes.
46:54
Speaker 2: I was angry when he told me I hated you.
46:56
Speaker 2: And then when I saw you at the bar throwing
46:58
Speaker 2: yourself away, I was suddenly full of pity. I feel
47:02
Speaker 2: differently now. Now I want to take care of you.
47:05
Speaker 2: I want to be with you always.
47:06
Speaker 6: Pity?
47:07
Speaker 2: Now I know I'm in love with you.
47:09
Speaker 5: Oh.
47:11
Speaker 6: That puts things in a true light.
47:12
Speaker 2: For both of us. Remember I told you I was
47:15
Speaker 2: afraid you'd disappear? I don't want that to happen. Go
47:19
Speaker 2: to sleep now, darling. Tomorrow morning we'll be well out
47:22
Speaker 2: to sea and well out of sight of the past, too.
47:24
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul.
47:25
Speaker 2: There are some things I want to talk over with Sorrel.
47:27
Speaker 2: I'll look in on you in a little while.
47:29
Speaker 18: For a moment, think of yourself as in a deep sleep.
47:42
Speaker 7: Between today and tomorrow.
47:43
Speaker 18: Before you know it, the problems.
47:46
Speaker 7: Will be gone.
47:47
Speaker 6: Just the way it went last night.
47:49
Speaker 2: I feel that I must hold you, and if I don't,
47:51
Speaker 2: you'll vanish.
47:53
Speaker 7: You're different. You're someone else.
47:57
Speaker 11: Your time is going to come.
48:03
Speaker 6: Stuart!
48:03
Speaker 12: Stuart!
48:06
Speaker 6: Take me ashore, please, at once. How is she, Doctor?
48:17
Speaker 7: Her pulse is stronger since we're using the oxygen tent.
48:20
Speaker 6: I don't know how she ever got back here alive.
48:23
Speaker 6: She must have crawled half the way.
48:25
Speaker 9: Oh, I found this in her coat.
48:28
Speaker 7: The snuff box.
48:29
Speaker 15: Empty.
48:30
Speaker 6: She'd use them all.
48:31
Speaker 7: You'd better get some sleep, you better.
48:33
Speaker 6: What about her?
48:34
Speaker 15: I don't know.
48:36
Speaker 7: Don't ask me now.
48:37
Speaker 9: You need some sleep yourself.
48:39
Speaker 7: Oh, I'll get it eventually. Run along.
48:49
Speaker 6: Tony.
48:50
Speaker 7: It's better if you don't.
48:51
Speaker 15: Talk, Karen.
48:52
Speaker 6: Why? Why did you let me hurt you?
48:56
Speaker 7: It's all over now. You're back where you belong.
49:00
Speaker 6: He wanted to take me to Egypt. I.
49:04
Speaker 6: I couldn't have gone that far from you. I... I
49:09
Speaker 6: hurt him too.
49:10
Speaker 7: You never hurt anyone. Yourself a little bit, maybe, but.
49:14
Speaker 6: I couldn't lie to myself any longer.
49:16
Speaker 7: Carol, try to sleep, dear.
49:19
Speaker 4: Please.
49:20
Speaker 6: Don't go.
49:21
Speaker 7: I won't, darling.
49:22
Speaker 2: I will be here.
49:25
Speaker 12: Always.
49:41
Speaker 7: All right, Claremont. What is it?
49:42
Speaker 2: Karen's here, isn't she?
49:43
Speaker 7: Yes, she's here. Just down the hall.
49:45
Speaker 2: I want to see her.
49:46
Speaker 7: I don't think you should. She's critically ill.
49:49
Speaker 2: She certainly wasn't critically ill last night.
49:51
Speaker 7: Where were you last night?
49:52
Speaker 2: We were aboard a yacht. For some reason or other,
49:54
Speaker 2: she suddenly went ashore. I intend to find out what happened.
49:57
Speaker 2: Not from you. From Karen.
49:58
Speaker 7: Well, you have every right in the world to see her.
50:01
Speaker 7: Come along.
50:01
Speaker 6: Come along.
50:09
Speaker 7: Close the door. I.
50:12
Speaker 2: I've seen enough. She's unconscious.
50:17
Speaker 7: She was. She's sleeping now.
50:20
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
50:21
Speaker 7: It's all right. It's really bad.
50:24
Speaker 5: Yes.
50:25
Speaker 7: When she felt it coming on, she reached out for
50:27
Speaker 7: the only straw she could grasp. She'd never have lived
50:31
Speaker 7: to reach Egypt.
50:32
Speaker 2: There's more to it than that, isn't there? More to
50:35
Speaker 2: it than just her coming back here for treatment.
50:38
Speaker 8: Yes.
50:38
Speaker 6: Yes.
50:39
Speaker 2: When I asked you if you were the doctor of
50:41
Speaker 2: the past, you said you were the doctor. I think
50:44
Speaker 2: it's time I said I was the past.
50:45
Speaker 7: You don't have to leave.
50:47
Speaker 2: I'd better. Tell her I came, though, to wish her luck.
50:51
Speaker 2: Tell her I had to leave without seeing her because
50:53
Speaker 2: I've got to sublet a pyramid.
50:55
Speaker 7: She'll understand. Good morning, darling. How do you feel?
51:04
Speaker 6: Warm and rested. It's so long since I've felt warm
51:08
Speaker 6: and rested. How were the x-rays?
51:10
Speaker 7: Better than I'd hoped for.
51:12
Speaker 2: Much better.
51:13
Speaker 6: Tony, I've been thinking while I ran away.
51:15
Speaker 7: Woman, you talk too much.
51:18
Speaker 6: But there's so much I want to tell you.
51:20
Speaker 7: There's something I want to tell you. Karen, please marry me.
51:26
Speaker 6: Marry you? Now? The way I am?
51:30
Speaker 2: Now.
51:31
Speaker 4: Today.
51:32
Speaker 7: This afternoon.
51:33
Speaker 6: Oh, my... Suppose I left you again, for good.
51:38
Speaker 7: Darling, I need you. I want you near me in
51:41
Speaker 7: my house.
51:41
Speaker 11: Your house?
51:43
Speaker 7: Where I can be close to you. And if we
51:46
Speaker 7: have that, you'll never leave. You belong there, you know.
51:51
Speaker 5: Yes.
51:51
Speaker 6: Yes, I belong there. I belong wherever you are.
52:09
Speaker 3: How is she?
52:10
Speaker 6: No change. I think she's dozing.
52:12
Speaker 15: Good.
52:13
Speaker 6: She's in there by the fireplace. She just had her supper.
52:16
Speaker 7: You'd better get yours, Hubert.
52:18
Speaker 8: I'll be here.
52:19
Speaker 6: I'm not asleep, darling.
52:21
Speaker 7: Hello, Mrs. Stanton.
52:23
Speaker 6: You've been gone a long time.
52:25
Speaker 7: Only two hours.
52:26
Speaker 6: A very long time. Oh, look, it's snowing. The lights
52:31
Speaker 6: are going on in the village.
52:32
Speaker 7: Would you like a light here, darling?
52:34
Speaker 15: No.
52:35
Speaker 8: The dark comes very quickly. A moment ago it was
52:39
Speaker 8: light and now everything is in shadows. When I first
52:43
Speaker 8: came here, I.
52:45
Speaker 6: Couldn't bear it. I was so afraid of losing time.
52:50
Speaker 7: But you're not afraid anymore.
52:52
Speaker 6: I'll never be afraid again. The world seems so safe now.
52:57
Speaker 6: The lights and the snow and the little houses. This
53:02
Speaker 6: is the only house I've lived in since many years ago.
53:08
Speaker 7: I think it's always been waiting for you. Who would
53:11
Speaker 7: have thought that the PMs from Chicago and the doctor
53:13
Speaker 7: from Toronto would be together, watching the snow come down
53:17
Speaker 7: on the Swiss mountains?
53:18
Speaker 6: When I'm well, we can do such wonderful things in
53:21
Speaker 6: this house.
53:22
Speaker 7: What would you like to do first?
53:24
Speaker 6: First? Oh, I'd like to be able to meet you
53:28
Speaker 6: at the door.
53:29
Speaker 7: You will, Carol. Very soon.
53:31
Speaker 6: And then as I begin to get better, we could
53:34
Speaker 6: start taking walks. And someday we'll walk right to the
53:39
Speaker 6: top of Mount Verge.
53:41
Speaker 7: Oh, darling, you just don't walk to the top of
53:43
Speaker 7: the mountain.
53:44
Speaker 6: We will.
53:45
Speaker 7: Well, if you say it like that, I guess we will.
53:48
Speaker 6: I've thought so much of what we'll do.
53:50
Speaker 7: And so have I.
53:51
Speaker 6: Darling, do you ski?
53:55
Speaker 7: It's debatable, dear.
53:56
Speaker 4: A little.
53:58
Speaker 6: Would you teach me?
54:00
Speaker 7: I'd love to. But I have my price as an instructor.
54:04
Speaker 6: What is it?
54:04
Speaker 7: You have to help me improve my piano playing, and
54:07
Speaker 7: that could take 50 years.
54:10
Speaker 6: Oh, you played very well yesterday.
54:11
Speaker 7: Oh, now, I saw the expression on your face. Divorce
54:14
Speaker 7: was written right across it. You were thinking, as soon
54:18
Speaker 7: as I get out of here, off to the lawyer.
54:19
Speaker 6: No, you hit only six wrong notes.
54:23
Speaker 7: Uh, three.
54:25
Speaker 8: Well, then play for me now, and I'll check you
54:27
Speaker 8: more carefully. Now?
54:29
Speaker 4: Now.
54:41
Speaker 6: Oh, you're doing beautifully, darling.
54:44
Speaker 7: It really isn't my best day, you know. Sunday is
54:47
Speaker 7: my best day. In fact, I'm thinking of having a
54:50
Speaker 7: private recital next Sunday with an audience of one. Will
54:54
Speaker 7: you come?
54:55
Speaker 6: Sunday? Yes, I think I'll be free Sunday, and I
54:59
Speaker 6: promise to applaud all your numbers. Yes, of course I will.
55:09
Speaker 6: There's no pain anymore. It's a glow that fills and fills.
55:16
Speaker 6: I'll be here weeks and months of Sundays.
55:19
Speaker 7: Years of Sundays.
55:21
Speaker 6: Years of Sundays. But time is not in years and hours, darling.
55:28
Speaker 6: Time is within us. And it stands still when we love.
55:56
Speaker 4: Our stars will return for their curtain calls in just
55:58
Speaker 4: a moment. I hear you're planning a vacation trip by air, Sally.
56:03
Speaker 6: That's right, Mr. Kennedy.
56:04
Speaker 14: And right now I'm making a list of just what
56:06
Speaker 14: I really need so I don't end up with excess baggage.
56:09
Speaker 4: Just how does a girl cut down on her travel wardrobe?
56:12
Speaker 14: Well, shoes and hats and pocketbooks are awful space takers,
56:15
Speaker 14: so I'll plan to wear ones that will go with
56:16
Speaker 14: most of my outfits.
56:18
Speaker 4: Well, that's a good start, but what about dresses for
56:20
Speaker 4: the trip?
56:20
Speaker 14: Oh, well, a suit's an asset anywhere, so with a
56:23
Speaker 14: couple of lightweight sweaters and one frilly blouse, I've closed
56:25
Speaker 14: for lots of occasions.
56:27
Speaker 4: Even under things take up room, I suppose.
56:29
Speaker 6: Oh, but that's where I save a lot. I take
56:31
Speaker 6: only a very few, and a box of Luxe Flakes.
56:34
Speaker 14: Every night I lux my undies and stockings so I
56:37
Speaker 14: have a fresh set to wear. And to save ironing,
56:40
Speaker 14: I'm taking those nice tailored knitted rayon slips and nighties
56:43
Speaker 14: that don't need any ironing.
56:44
Speaker 4: And I predict, Sally, that when you come back, they'll
56:46
Speaker 4: look just as nice as when you went away.
56:48
Speaker 13: Well, naturally, Mr. Kennedy.
56:50
Speaker 14: Didn't all our washing tests prove that lux care keeps
56:53
Speaker 14: undies lovely looking for a long time?
56:55
Speaker 4: Three times as long, Sally. You should have seen the
56:58
Speaker 4: slips and nightgowns that were washed the wrong way. After
57:01
Speaker 4: just a few washings, they looked faded and drab. In
57:04
Speaker 4: many cases, shoulder straps were frayed or seams split. But
57:07
Speaker 4: the luxed garments were still color-fresh and attractive after three
57:11
Speaker 4: times as many launderings. That's why smart girls put a
57:14
Speaker 4: box of luxe flakes at the top of their vacation
57:17
Speaker 4: clothes list. Then they're sure they'll come back with washables
57:20
Speaker 4: just as pretty as when they went away. Back to
57:24
Speaker 4: your producer, William Keeley.
57:26
Speaker 5: Once again, it's time for that happy tradition of the theater,
57:29
Speaker 5: a curtain call. And here are tonight's stars at the footlights,
57:33
Speaker 5: Barbara Stanwyck, George Brent, and Richard Conte. After tonight's performance,
57:45
Speaker 5: I can readily understand why David Lewis and Enterprise are
57:49
Speaker 5: so proud of the other love.
57:51
Speaker 8: Well, we've been gratified, Bill, at the way the New
57:53
Speaker 8: York audience has received the picture.
57:55
Speaker 7: As for London, I understand they've pretty nearly mobbed you.
57:57
Speaker 3: You must have been reading Barbara's column, George.
58:00
Speaker 2: You mean Barbara has a newspaper column?
58:01
Speaker 6: Oh, I did have, Dick.
58:02
Speaker 8: During our trip through Europe, I wrote a special feature
58:05
Speaker 8: for the Chicago Daily News.

Speaker 6: Barbara Stanek finds.
58:08
Speaker 7: What's that, Stanwick?
58:09
Speaker 6: Well, that's how they said Stanwick in England. Stanwick, it
58:13
Speaker 6: rhymes with Zanuck.
58:14
Speaker 2: Oh, and if Zanuck.
58:15
Speaker 3: And.
58:16
Speaker 2: If Zanuck went over there, they'd call him Stanwick.
58:19
Speaker 3: Well, hardly.
58:20
Speaker 5: You know, that's the first time in my recollection, Barbara,
58:23
Speaker 5: that a movie star has been a foreign correspondent.
58:26
Speaker 7: Well, what sort of items did you write about, Barbara?
58:29
Speaker 8: Oh, human interest stories, mostly There were plenty of them
58:32
Speaker 8: The London shops, the people on the streets Our visit
