3:22

3:27
Speaker 2: Hey, shut up, you guys, will you? Yeah, can't you
3:30

3:31
Speaker 5: Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?
3:35
Speaker 6: Yeah.
3:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's Joe, all right. Hello, you beautiful creature. Well,
3:42
Speaker 5: it'll be a couple hours before I hit Hollywood, honey.
3:44
Speaker 2: Oh, I know what you mean, baby. Can you wait? Well,
3:49
Speaker 2: let's decide that later, baby.
3:53
Speaker 5: After eight months at sea, all I want to do
3:55
Speaker 5: is look at you for a long time.
3:59
Speaker 2: Sure, I'll hurry. Goodbye, honey.
4:02
Speaker 7: Oh, thanks, fellas.
4:03
Speaker 2: Thanks. Really nothing at all.
4:04
Speaker 1: Nothing at all.
4:04
Speaker 2: Hey, you guys, hurry up.
4:05
Speaker 8: The buses are leaving for Hollywood. Hey, here we go, Clarence.
4:09
Speaker 2: Oh, you beautiful, gorgeous things, you. Here we come. Now, look, Clarence.
4:22
Speaker 5: Ever since we got to Hollywood, you've been following me.
4:24
Speaker 5: You got a date, haven't you?
4:25
Speaker 9: Uh-uh.
4:26
Speaker 2: I thought you.
4:27
Speaker 5: Uh-uh.
4:28
Speaker 2: It's always been like this, Joe. Every time we hit port,
4:32
Speaker 2: all I do is go to the library. So you
4:34
Speaker 2: like books. What's the beef? Well, I thought it'd be
4:37
Speaker 2: fun to try something different. You know, like going out
4:40
Speaker 2: with girls. But I don't know how to begin.
4:43
Speaker 5: Ah, don't give me that, Clarence. After all, you're from Brooklyn.
4:46
Speaker 7: Joe, even in Brooklyn, things can go wrong.
4:49
Speaker 10: What do you mean?
4:50
Speaker 2: Well, right from boys' high school, I went to the cathedral, see,
4:53
Speaker 2: and I was the assistant choir master.
4:56
Speaker 10: Oh.
4:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, right from there, of course, I went into the Navy.
4:59
Speaker 2: And I wouldn't tell that to anyone but you, Joe. Well,
5:01
Speaker 2: do you want a couple of phone numbers? Thanks, but
5:03
Speaker 2: I'd be too scared to use them. But when you
5:05
Speaker 2: mentioned Lola, I thought you'd let me... Lola? Hey, are
5:08
Speaker 2: you kidding? Well, if I could go with you, I
5:10
Speaker 2: could learn something. After all, Joe, everybody knows you're the
5:13
Speaker 2: best wolf in the Navy.
5:14
Speaker 7: And besides, you gotta help me.
5:16
Speaker 2: What do you mean, I gotta help you? Well, didn't
5:18
Speaker 2: you save my life when I fell overboard? I didn't
5:21
Speaker 2: ask you to save my life, so now you're responsible
5:23
Speaker 2: for me. So now I'm re... How do you like
5:26
Speaker 2: this guy? Well, look, Joe, what's the sense in having
5:29
Speaker 2: your life saved if you can't have any fun with it?
5:31
Speaker 5: Well, look, if I find a dame for you and
5:34
Speaker 5: get you started, will you call it quits?
5:36
Speaker 7: Gee, that'd be swell, Joe.
5:37
Speaker 2: I'm certainly... Hey, Joe. Hey, look, that police car, Joe. Well,
5:41
Speaker 2: what about it? Joe, that cop... Hey, you say this!
5:45
Speaker 10: Come here, you guys.
5:45
Speaker 2: Hey, wait a minute. What's the idea?
5:47
Speaker 11: Let's not have any unpleasantness, fellas. Now, just get in
5:49
Speaker 11: the car.
5:49
Speaker 2: Hey, what do we do? Look, I got a date.
5:51
Speaker 2: We'll tell you all about it at headquarters. Well, I
5:58
Speaker 2: found a couple of sailors, Captain. Here they are. Yeah,
6:00
Speaker 2: what's the charge? What's the big idea? Now, take it easy, sailor.
6:03
Speaker 2: If you've been inconvenienced, I'm sorry. But you see this
6:05
Speaker 2: kid here? Sure I see this kid here. Well, he's
6:07
Speaker 2: run away from home. He won't tell us who he
6:09
Speaker 2: is or where he lives. I'm going nuts. Well, what
6:11
Speaker 2: will he tell you? That he ran away to join
6:13

Speaker 2: Hey, just like Daddy tells him. He wouldn't tell us nothing. Well, look, uh, mate,
6:35
Speaker 2: it's like this.
6:36
Speaker 5: Before they'll take you in the Navy, you gotta have
6:38
Speaker 5: a letter from your mother or father saying it's okay, see?
6:41
Speaker 8: But I don't have a mother or father anymore.
6:43
Speaker 10: Oh.
6:44
Speaker 8: You think a letter from my Aunt Susie would be okay?
6:46
Speaker 5: Well, sure.
6:47
Speaker 2: Why not? Okay, McGinley. Drive them all over to the
6:49
Speaker 2: kids' house. Oh, no. Nothing doing.
6:51

7:29
Speaker 7: Yeah. Fellas, I don't want you to get the wrong idea.
7:33

9:42
Speaker 2: Well, uh, maybe sometimes, huh, Clarence?
9:47

9:50
Speaker 5: Well, the first thing you gotta do is study real hard.
9:52
Speaker 5: Before you know it, you won't be a dope.
9:54
Speaker 2: All right, Donald.
9:55
Speaker 10: Now what about bed?

Speaker 2: Oh, we'd be very happy to put him to bed,
10:02
Speaker 2: won't we, Joe?
10:03
Speaker 10: Huh?

15:37
Speaker 3: In just a moment, our stars will return with Anchors Away.
15:41
Speaker 3: Why are you looking in the mirror, Libby?
15:43
Speaker 17: Oh, I'm wondering if I'm getting old. Here's Peggy Ann Garner,
15:46
Speaker 17: who was practically a child yesterday, having her first screen
15:49
Speaker 17: romance in Thunder in the Valley.
15:51
Speaker 3: That's quite a leap. Who's the lucky man?
15:53
Speaker 17: A 20th century fox chose Lon McAllister. Oh, it's a
15:57
Speaker 17: very touching love story with Peggy Ann and Lon playing
16:00
Speaker 17: the part of children of simple Scottish shepherds. And there's
16:03
Speaker 17: a dog in it who really rings your heart.
16:06
Speaker 3: How does Peggy like growing up?
16:07
Speaker 17: Well, she says the hardest part of Thunder in the
16:09
Speaker 17: Valley was making her first love scenes for the screen.
16:12
Speaker 17: But in real life, she loves being grown up enough
16:15
Speaker 17: to wear the new look.
16:16
Speaker 3: And graduate from bobby socks to nylons?
16:18
Speaker 17: That's right. She still gets a kick out of dressing
16:21
Speaker 17: for a date in a long dress and beautifully sheer nylons.
16:24
Speaker 3: I hope she knows how to take care of her nylons.
16:26
Speaker 17: Well, of course. She follows the example of the studio
16:29
Speaker 17: and always uses Lux.
16:31
Speaker 3: A very sound idea, seeing that Lux flakes make nylons
16:34
Speaker 3: last twice as long. Scientific strain test proved that.
16:37
Speaker 17: Oh, Peggy Ann is a Lux fan. And no smart
16:40
Speaker 17: girl would ever let her nylons be washed with a
16:43
Speaker 17: strong soap or rubbed with cake soap. She knows those
16:46
Speaker 17: things make runs come quickly.
16:48
Speaker 3: Just what our strain tests showed. Stockings washed with Lux
16:52
Speaker 3: lasted twice as long.
16:54
Speaker 17: Well, the young fry liked that idea. It's just like
16:57
Speaker 17: getting an extra pair of nylons every time they buy
17:00
Speaker 17: a pair.
17:00
Speaker 3: Let's suggest this New Year's resolution to all the women
17:03
Speaker 3: in our audience. For longer wear, give nylons nightly Lux care.
17:09
Speaker 3: We return you now to William Keeley.
17:11
Speaker 4: Act two of Anchors Away, starring Frank Sinatra as Clarence Doolittle,
17:16
Speaker 4: Catherine Grayson as Susan, and Gene.
17:18
Speaker 7: Kelly as Joe.
17:29
Speaker 4: Well, it's the following day, and has Joe Brady at
17:33
Speaker 4: long last had his date with Lola? Well, what do
17:36
Speaker 4: you think, with Clarence around?
17:38
Speaker 2: But, Joe, I had to let you sleep, Joe. You
17:41
Speaker 2: looked so peaceful there in bed. And besides, you needed
17:44
Speaker 2: to rest badly, didn't you, Joe? Like I need a
17:46
Speaker 2: hole in the head.
17:47
Speaker 5: When I did wake up, when I phoned Lola, you
17:49
Speaker 5: know what she told me to do?
17:50
Speaker 7: Well, do you?
17:51
Speaker 2: Now, Joe, no rough stuff now, Joe. Joe, lay off,
17:54
Speaker 2: will you, Joe?
17:56
Speaker 4: Now, late in the afternoon, and much against his better judgment,
18:00
Speaker 4: Joe has allowed Clarence to talk him into calling on
18:04
Speaker 4: Donald and Aunt Susan.
18:06
Speaker 10: Oh, what a nice surprise.
18:08
Speaker 5: Well, we promised Donald we'd come back, and Clarence here
18:11
Speaker 5: bought him some toys.
18:12
Speaker 10: Oh, Mr. Doodle, how sweet of you.
18:13
Speaker 2: Oh, that's okay.
18:14
Speaker 7: Where is Donald?
18:15
Speaker 10: Donald's still in school. Won't you sit down?
18:17
Speaker 5: Say, speaking of Donald, aren't you a little young to
18:20
Speaker 5: be bringing.
18:21
Speaker 7: Up a kid?
18:22
Speaker 10: Well, I'm all the family he has. I know it's
18:24
Speaker 10: hard on Donald. I mean, I never know when the
18:27
Speaker 10: studios are going to call me, like last night.
18:30
Speaker 5: Oh, you were working last night? I thought you were
18:33
Speaker 5: out on a date. Oh, an actress, huh?
18:36
Speaker 2: What do you know?
18:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, she wears movies.
18:39
Speaker 10: Well, I'm not really an actress. Just an extra. What
18:44
Speaker 10: I really want to do is sing.
18:46
Speaker 7: Well, why don't you?
18:47
Speaker 10: Oh, that's easy to say. Oh, well, there's always a
18:50
Speaker 10: chance that someone will hear me. There's some really great
18:53
Speaker 10: musicians at the studios. Stokowski and Jose Iturbi.
18:56
Speaker 7: Iturbi, huh?
18:57
Speaker 10: Mm-hmm. And then whenever I can sing, I sing in
19:00
Speaker 10: a little Mexican cafe. As a matter of fact, I'm
19:03
Speaker 10: singing there tonight. So if you'll excuse me, I'd better
19:06
Speaker 10: run up and change.
19:07
Speaker 5: Well, if you want somebody to hear you sing, here's
19:08
Speaker 5: your boy right here, Clarence.
19:10
Speaker 2: What?
19:11
Speaker 10: Clarence?
19:11
Speaker 2: Well, sure. He used to be the assistant.
19:13
Speaker 7: Now, wait a minute, Joe. Careful. Remember what you promised me.
19:16
Speaker 5: Well, anyway, you know that fellow you mentioned before, a turby? Well,
19:19
Speaker 5: Clarence and a turby are just like this.
19:21
Speaker 2: Pals.
19:23
Speaker 7: No, Joe, please, Joe.
19:24
Speaker 5: Well, why not tell her? Look, Aunt Susan, while you
19:28
Speaker 5: change your dress, Clarence will call up a turby and
19:30
Speaker 5: arrange for him to hear you sing.
19:31
Speaker 2: Oh, Clarence.
19:32
Speaker 10: Do you really mean that?
19:33
Speaker 2: Certainly he means it. Don't you, Clarence?
19:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I guess I do, yeah.
19:38
Speaker 10: Oh, how can I ever thank you, Clarence?
19:40
Speaker 7: There, you see?
19:41
Speaker 2: You see? She's grateful to you already. Now you get
19:43
Speaker 2: a date with her and.
19:45
Speaker 7: But, Joe.
19:46
Speaker 2: Joe, I don't know it, Turby.
19:48
Speaker 7: You lied to her, Joe.
19:49
Speaker 2: You told me... you knew a guy named Turby in Brooklyn. Yeah, yeah.
19:53
Speaker 2: Maxie Turby's a butcher. Details.
19:57
Speaker 5: Always worrying about details. I tell you, Clarence, it's a cinch.
20:06
Speaker 10: Well, Clarence, did you speak to him, Mr. E.
20:09
Speaker 2: Turby? Of course he did, and you got an audition. When?
20:12
Speaker 10: When did he say?
20:12
Speaker 4: When?
20:13
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Clarence, tell her when. Um, Saturday.
20:16
Speaker 7: Saturday morning at 11.15.
20:17
Speaker 10: Oh, I just don't know how to thank you. It's
20:20
Speaker 10: about the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.
20:23
Speaker 5: Look, Clarence has so many things to tell you. Why
20:26
Speaker 5: don't you two go to that Mexican place together, have dinner,
20:29
Speaker 5: and talk it over?
20:30
Speaker 10: Well, I think that would be a wonderful idea.
20:32
Speaker 7: Well, Joe, you better come, too.
20:34
Speaker 2: Oh, no, I couldn't do that. I've got a date.
20:37
Speaker 7: Oh, Joe, you said you weren't meeting Lola till 10 o'clock.
20:40
Speaker 10: Well, you two work it out while I call Mrs.
20:42
Speaker 2: Murphy.
20:42
Speaker 10: She's coming over to stay with Donald again.
20:44
Speaker 2: What do you want to drag me along for? Because
20:47
Speaker 2: I don't know what a turby told me on the phone. Okay, okay,
20:51
Speaker 2: but I'm blowing early, do you understand?
20:52
Speaker 5: Early.
20:53
Speaker 8: Yeah, blowing early.

Speaker 2: do I freeze when Susie just looks at me? What
26:19
Speaker 2: makes people act this way about people? Ah, what makes anything.
26:31

26:39
Speaker 2: And why does it soon rise?
26:44
Speaker 7: What makes a star fall? Why does its flight.
26:53
Speaker 14: Make us stop in the night and wish as we

Speaker 10: One of the waitresses.
27:51
Speaker 2: Oh, yes.

Speaker 8: You too?
27:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, Flatbush.

Speaker 2: I can't ever talk to.
28:16
Speaker 7: Girls at all.
28:17
Speaker 6: Well, you're talking to me, aren't you?
28:19
Speaker 7: Oh, it's sure different. You're from Brooklyn.
28:21
Speaker 9: Yes.
28:22
Speaker 8: Yeah, I know.
28:26
Speaker 17: Excuse me, Joe.
28:29
Speaker 10: What did you say?
28:30
Speaker 5: I said most girls are so easy to figure out.
28:34
Speaker 10: They are?
28:35
Speaker 5: Yeah, but for you, you're... One time you look kind
28:38
Speaker 5: as if you knew all the answers, and then ten
28:40
Speaker 5: minutes later, you're like a little kid. Just when a
28:44
Speaker 5: guy starts thinking maybe I ought to buy you an
28:45
Speaker 5: ice cream cone or a doll or something, all of
28:48
Speaker 5: a sudden you're grown up again.
28:49
Speaker 15: I am?
28:50
Speaker 10: Yeah.
28:51
Speaker 5: Yeah.
28:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, and everything gets all kind of mixed up and interesting.
28:56
Speaker 5: I mean.
28:57
Speaker 2: Well, I mean.
28:58
Speaker 5: Well, that's what Clarence said about you. You know, he
29:00
Speaker 5: thinks about you all the time.
29:02
Speaker 10: He does? Well, who do you think about, Joe?
29:05
Speaker 5: Well, I... Oh, I don't know, Aunt Susie. Right now,
29:09
Speaker 5: I'm a little confused about everything.
29:12
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, I... Let's get back to the table.
29:25
Speaker 2: And did you hear what Aunt Susie said when we
29:27
Speaker 2: brought her home, Joe? She said she didn't know when
29:29
Speaker 2: she'd been so happy.
29:30
Speaker 5: Yeah, why shouldn't she be happy with that big, beautiful
29:32
Speaker 5: audition coming up?
29:34
Speaker 7: Oh, Eterby.
29:36
Speaker 5: Joe, what'll I do? Yeah, and what'll I do? When
29:38
Speaker 5: I called Lola tonight from that Mexican joint, she hung
29:41
Speaker 5: up on me.
29:41
Speaker 7: Joe, look, you just gotta get to Eterby.
29:44
Speaker 2: I don't know how, but the first thing tomorrow morning,
29:46
Speaker 2: you gotta go to that movie studio and talk to Eterby.
29:50
Speaker 16: Mr. Eterby's office.
29:58
Speaker 10: Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Whitney, but Mr. Turby isn't in. Yes, yes,
30:01
Speaker 10: I'll tell him you called. Well, then, you're Mr.
30:04
Speaker 2: Brady.
30:04
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wanted to see you.
30:05
Speaker 17: If you'll sit down over there, Mr.
30:07
Speaker 10: Turby should be here shortly.
30:08
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot.
30:09
Speaker 10: Strange you didn't tell me you had an appointment.
30:11
Speaker 2: Come in. Come in.
30:14
Speaker 10: And my name is Susan Abbott, and I have an
30:16
Speaker 10: appointment to see Mr. E.
30:17
Speaker 2: Cunningham. Well, hello there. Don't you ever speak to.
30:18
Speaker 13: Sailors, lady?
30:19
Speaker 10: Well, Joe, what are you doing here?
30:22
Speaker 5: Clarence is off having a little chat with Jose, and
30:24
Speaker 5: I'm waiting for him to come back. Come on, let's
30:25
Speaker 5: go have a Coke or something.
30:26
Speaker 7: Well, I was just.
30:27
Speaker 5: Come on, Susan, let's go.
30:32
Speaker 10: Joe, I don't understand.
30:34
Speaker 2: Well, I don't understand either. What are you doing here
30:37
Speaker 2: at the studio?
30:38
Speaker 10: Well, I'm working here today as an extra, so I
30:40
Speaker 10: thought I'd.
30:40
Speaker 5: And that's where you almost made a terrible mistake. Boy,
30:43
Speaker 5: are you lucky I was in a Turby's office to
30:45
Speaker 5: stop you. But, Joe, why? Well, look, you go to
30:49
Speaker 5: see Mr. Turby now. You try to talk to him, see? Well,
30:52
Speaker 5: he's polite, but.
30:53
Speaker 2: Very busy, and it's just no good.
30:55
Speaker 5: But if you wait till Saturday morning, well, Turby's expecting
30:58
Speaker 5: to see one of these big, beefy opera singers, and
31:01
Speaker 5: you walk in, you'll look like a million dollars. Ah,
31:04
Speaker 5: believe me, Aunt Susie, you'll kill him.
31:07
Speaker 10: Well, yes, maybe that would be better, Joe.
31:10
Speaker 7: Sure.
31:10
Speaker 5: So come on, let's have that coke.
31:18
Speaker 7: But what happened, Joe? How come you didn't see a turby?
31:21
Speaker 5: I ran into Susie, that's how come.
31:23
Speaker 7: You mean she.
31:25
Speaker 2: she still thinks she's seeing him on Saturday? Now, don't worry, kiddo.
31:28
Speaker 5: We'll get to a turby and tell him it's just
31:30
Speaker 5: a gag and they say he's a swell fella and
31:33
Speaker 5: Maybe you'll let her sing for him after all.
31:34
Speaker 7: Oh, I don't know. Joe, Joe, about tonight. You'll come
31:39
Speaker 7: with me when I go down to the cafe, won't you?
31:41
Speaker 2: No, Clarence.
31:43
Speaker 5: You see, well, that's Susie. Now, she's okay. You see
31:48
Speaker 5: her alone.
31:53
Speaker 18: For heaven's sake, look who's here.
31:58
Speaker 7: Oh, hello, Brooklyn. Yeah, I got a date with Susie.
32:01
Speaker 12: I'm early.
32:02
Speaker 6: You look like you were going to a funeral. What's
32:04
Speaker 6: the matter?
32:06
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to be alone with her tonight, and
32:09
Speaker 2: I won't even know what to say.
32:10
Speaker 7: I'm such a dope.
32:11
Speaker 6: Oh, what's wrong with you?
32:13
Speaker 22: Why, last night, the first note I heard you sing,
32:15
Speaker 22: I knew you were the romantical type.
32:18
Speaker 17: Now, look, I'm Hersey.
32:19
Speaker 22: I'm just finishing supper. I'm sitting here toying with my
32:23
Speaker 22: cup of java. The fellas are playing soft music.
32:28
Speaker 17: I'm looking at you.
32:30
Speaker 7: You're looking at me.
32:32
Speaker 2: Gee, you're swell.
32:34
Speaker 8: Gee, thanks.
32:35
Speaker 6: I mean, well, that's swell for a starter. What else, Clarence?
32:39
Speaker 7: Well, well, something like this, maybe.
32:43
Speaker 21: The charm of you is comparable to... A Christmas tree
32:51
Speaker 21: with toys With little girls and boys When first they see.
33:01
Speaker 2: The tree.
33:04
Speaker 14: The thrill of you is comparable to The thrill I
33:10
Speaker 14: felt when I First learned a heart could sigh.
33:18
Speaker 2: And you were the reason.
33:28
Speaker 21: BF-WATCH TV 2021 Is all that I can do Because
34:01
Speaker 21: they add up to.
34:05
Speaker 12: The charm of you.
34:17
Speaker 22: Gee, I'd give a month's tips to have somebody sing
34:21
Speaker 22: to me like that.
34:23
Speaker 7: Somebody will, Brooklyn. You wait and see. You're a wonderful girl.
34:27
Speaker 6: Oh, go on. Hey, here she comes, Miss Abbott.
34:30
Speaker 10: I better get to work.
34:31
Speaker 1: Hello, Clarence.
34:33
Speaker 7: Oh, hello, Susan.
34:34
Speaker 10: Oh, I hope I haven't kept you waiting.
34:35
Speaker 16: Uh-uh.
34:37
Speaker 10: Did you have a nice time today with Mr. E.
34:39
Speaker 2: Turby?
34:41
Speaker 10: I saw Joe at the studio, you know, and he
34:43
Speaker 10: said that you and Mr. E. Turby.
34:45
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, yeah, Susan. Yeah, I remember. Look, Susan, there's
34:48
Speaker 7: something I've got to tell you.
34:50
Speaker 2: It might make a great difference in the way you
34:52
Speaker 2: feel about seeing me, even, but I've got to tell you.
34:55
Speaker 10: Oh, please, please don't tell me now, Clarence. I like
34:59
Speaker 10: you very much, but, well, we haven't known each other
35:02
Speaker 10: very long, and, well, sometimes it's a mistake to say
35:05
Speaker 10: things too soon.
35:07
Speaker 7: You think so?
35:08
Speaker 10: Oh, yes, I do.
35:09
Speaker 2: Well, now I feel better. I was afraid to.
35:12
Speaker 7: Tell you anyway.
35:14
Speaker 10: By the way, where is Joe tonight?
35:17
Speaker 2: Oh, Joe probably has a date with Lola. He's crazy
35:19
Speaker 2: about her.
35:20
Speaker 10: Oh, I see.
35:23
Speaker 2: I mean, she's crazy about him, and he doesn't seem
35:25
Speaker 2: to mind it at all.
35:26
Speaker 10: Well, anyway, Clarence, I can't begin to tell you how
35:30
Speaker 10: grateful I am.
35:32
Speaker 7: Oh, gee, Aunt Susan. It's really nothing.
35:35
Speaker 2: Why, I... Ow!
35:37
Speaker 10: Oh, it's all my fault.
35:38
Speaker 6: I didn't watch where I was going. Oh, Clarence, just look.
35:44
Speaker 6: You're all over soup.
35:46
Speaker 2: Oh, that's all right, Brooklyn. You hardly touched me.
35:49
Speaker 6: You want to come out in the kitchen? A couple
35:51
Speaker 6: of minutes next to that oven and you'll be dry.
35:53
Speaker 10: I think you'd better, Clarence. It's all right. I'll wait
35:56
Speaker 10: for you. Are you getting.
36:05
Speaker 6: Dried out, Clarence?
36:07
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah. I'm doing fine.
36:09
Speaker 6: There's a noodle in your hair.
36:11
Speaker 5: Oh.
36:12
Speaker 6: I'll get it for you.
36:13
Speaker 8: Gee, thanks.
36:13
Speaker 2: Thanks. You know, I wish I could stay here and
36:17
Speaker 2: talk to you.
36:18
Speaker 17: You do?
36:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know something, Brooklyn? With you around, well, I
36:23
Speaker 2: feel like I was home again in Flatbush.
36:26
Speaker 8: Gee, thanks.
36:27
Speaker 7: You're welcome. And that's not all. The more I look at.
36:31
Speaker 16: You, Brooklyn....
36:37
Speaker 5: Hiya, Clarence.
36:39
Speaker 7: Hey, Joe. I thought you had a date with Lola.
36:42
Speaker 2: Where's Susan?
36:43
Speaker 7: She went to phone. She's checking up on Donald.
36:45
Speaker 2: I've been waiting to get you alone. You having fun?
36:47
Speaker 1: Sure.
36:48
Speaker 2: All you needed was a girl.
36:50
Speaker 5: Look, kid, I've been scouting around. I meet about a turby,
36:52
Speaker 5: and I found out he's rehearsing his orchestra tomorrow morning
36:54
Speaker 5: in the Hollywood Bowl. We'll nail him there for sure,
36:57
Speaker 5: so don't worry. Everything's going to be okay with you
36:59
Speaker 5: and Susan.
37:00
Speaker 7: Yeah, but, Joe, I don't want to.
37:01
Speaker 5: Relax, kid, relax.
37:02
Speaker 2: Just bring her along till we see what happens in the.
37:13
Speaker 7: Ah, it's no use, Joe.
37:15
Speaker 2: It turbies in the bowl and we're here in the street.
37:17
Speaker 2: Guards at every entrance. Even you can be licked, Joe.
37:21
Speaker 2: We just got to tell Susie the truth, that's all. Okay.
37:24
Speaker 5: Well, she's working at the studio today.
37:26
Speaker 2: I'll try to find her.
37:26
Speaker 7: No, wait a minute, Joe.
37:28
Speaker 2: It's time it's up to me to do it.
37:29
Speaker 5: No, no, I'll tell her. She'll be good and sore,
37:31
Speaker 5: but she'll be sore at me, right? I'll tell her
37:33
Speaker 5: how it all happened just because you were crazy about her.
37:36
Speaker 2: Well, what's the use? We're due back in San Pedro
37:39
Speaker 2: tomorrow and our leave is practically over.
37:41
Speaker 9: Okay.
37:41
Speaker 5: Clarence, Susie's not a girl just for a leave. She's
37:45
Speaker 5: a kind you come home to, and this'll do it.
37:49
Speaker 7: Joe.
37:50
Speaker 2: Yeah? There's something I've been wanting to tell you.
37:54
Speaker 10: What?
37:56
Speaker 7: Ah, never mind.
37:57
Speaker 2: I guess you're right.
37:58
Speaker 5: Okay, I'll meet you at that little bar near Susie's
38:00
Speaker 5: house about 6 o'clock.
38:01
Speaker 7: Yeah, sure. Okay, Joe.
38:03
Speaker 10: Okay.
38:11
Speaker 6: Clarence, what are you doing here in the middle of
38:12
Speaker 6: the afternoon?
38:14
Speaker 7: I don't know, Brooklyn.
38:15
Speaker 2: Except that I left Joe about three hours ago and
38:18
Speaker 2: I started walking and, well, here I am. That's not
38:22
Speaker 2: the truth.
38:23
Speaker 7: I do know why I'm here. Brooklyn, I love you.
38:26
Speaker 17: Oh, no, Clarence.
38:30
Speaker 6: No, you love Susan.
38:32
Speaker 7: I did, but I don't. I mean, I know it's awful,
38:35
Speaker 7: but I can't help it. I love you.
38:39
Speaker 6: I don't think it's so awful, Clarence.
38:41
Speaker 7: Well, yes, it is. It means that... Well, it means
38:44
Speaker 7: that I'm fickle. But say you'll marry me, Brooklyn. Please
38:49
Speaker 7: say you'll... Oh, no.
38:52
Speaker 14: No.
38:53
Speaker 8: Clarence, what's the matter?
38:54
Speaker 2: Well, I've been in such a daze about you, I forgot. What?
38:58
Speaker 7: That Joe is seeing her now.
38:59
Speaker 2: Joe is.
39:00
Speaker 7: Joe, he's making me out a big guy, so she'll
39:02
Speaker 7: like me. Susan, I mean.
39:04
Speaker 2: And I don't want her.
39:04
Speaker 7: To like me. Oh, every time I leave that guy,
39:07
Speaker 7: I get in trouble.
39:08
Speaker 12: Joe!
39:09
Speaker 8: Hey, Joe!
39:12
Speaker 3: We call now for station identification. This is CBS, the
39:23
Speaker 3: Columbia Broadcasting System.
39:25
Speaker 16: Our stars will return with anchors away in just a moment.
39:50
Speaker 4: We're delighted to have as our guest this evening one
39:53
Speaker 4: of Hollywood's more talented young actresses, Miss Mona Barry. Mona
39:57
Speaker 4: just finished playing in the screen version of Sinclair Lewis's
40:00
Speaker 4: famous novel, Cast Timberlane.
40:03
Speaker 2: Right, Mona? Right, Mr. Keeley, and I was very grateful
40:06
Speaker 2: for that part.
40:07
Speaker 4: Well, you're surrounded by a fine cast, Mona, with Spencer
40:10
Speaker 4: Tracy in the title role.
40:12
Speaker 13: And Lana Turner as the woman he loves.
40:14
Speaker 2: As indeed, a dynamic combination.
40:16
Speaker 13: Then there's Zachary Scott in that suave, menacing type of
40:19
Speaker 13: role he does so well.
40:20
Speaker 4: Great stars and a powerfully emotional love story. Brought to
40:24
Speaker 4: life by that fine director, George Sidney, who, incidentally, also
40:29
Speaker 4: directed the picture we're presenting here tonight.
40:32
Speaker 2: You know, Mr.
40:32
Speaker 4: Keeley.
40:33
Speaker 13: Lana Turner is becoming so versatile, I expect any day
40:36
Speaker 13: that big league baseball is going to make her an offer.
40:39
Speaker 4: You mean after that sandlot baseball sequence in the picture?
40:42
Speaker 10: Yes.
40:43
Speaker 2: You should have seen her practicing. She had plenty of falls,
40:46
Speaker 2: but that didn't stop her.
40:48
Speaker 13: I felt sorry, though, for the wardrobe department having to
40:50
Speaker 13: freshen her tomboy shorts and shirts so often.
40:52
Speaker 2: John Kennedy can tell you why you needn't have worried.
40:56
Speaker 3: That's right, Mr.
40:57
Speaker 10: Keeley.
40:57
Speaker 3: At Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where they filmed Cass Timberlane... They use Luxe
41:01
Speaker 3: flakes for everything washable, as they do at other leading
41:04
Speaker 3: Hollywood studios.
41:05
Speaker 13: Well, I should have known when I saw how wonderful
41:07
Speaker 13: they looked every time. After all, I'm a Luxe fan myself.
41:11
Speaker 3: With the studios, Luxe care is a matter of saving
41:14
Speaker 3: dollars and cents.
41:15
Speaker 2: It's so safe for colors.
41:17
Speaker 3: Keeps them new-looking up to three times as long.
41:19
Speaker 2: That's really true?
41:20
Speaker 3: Proved true by actual washing tests. When colors were washed
41:23
Speaker 3: the wrong way, they soon looked faded and old. That's
41:27
Speaker 3: what strong soap, hot water, and rough handling can do.
41:31
Speaker 3: But when the laboratory took identical fabrics and washed them
41:33
Speaker 3: the luxe way, they stayed color fresh up to three
41:37
Speaker 3: times as long.
41:38
Speaker 2: And what girl doesn't.
41:38
Speaker 10: Appreciate that nice as new luxe look these days?
41:41
Speaker 3: Right you are. Keeping nice washables new looking up to
41:44
Speaker 3: three times as long is a fine thing for the budget.
41:47
Speaker 3: Thank you for coming tonight, Miss Mona Barry. Back now
41:50
Speaker 3: to our producer, William Keeley.
41:52
Speaker 4: Act three of Anchors Away, starring Frank Sinatra as Clarence,
41:56
Speaker 4: Catherine Grayson as Susan, and Gene.
41:59
Speaker 3: Kelly as Joe.
42:10
Speaker 2: Poor Clarence Doolittle.
42:12
Speaker 4: He's so in love with the waitress from Brooklyn, he
42:15
Speaker 4: forgot all about the fact that Joe's been patiently waiting
42:18
Speaker 4: at the picture studio to see Susan, to tell her
42:21
Speaker 4: the truth about the make-believe audition and shoulder all the blame.
42:25
Speaker 4: But there's one fact Clarence couldn't possibly know. Joe Brady's
42:29
Speaker 4: fallen quite hopelessly in love himself with Susan.
42:35
Speaker 10: Why, Joe, I didn't know you were here.
42:37
Speaker 2: Hello, Susan. Are they through shooting? Can I talk to you?
42:40
Speaker 8: Well, what would you.
42:41
Speaker 10: Like to say, Joe?
42:42
Speaker 11: Well, I.
42:44
Speaker 10: Oh, well, perhaps I can tell you. Clarence is a
42:47
Speaker 10: very fine boy. Oh, I know that. You saved his life,
42:50
Speaker 10: so you owe him something, and you've decided that he's
42:53
Speaker 10: just about right for me. Does that about cover it?
42:56
Speaker 2: No. No, that doesn't come anywhere near it. Oh, yes.
43:00
Speaker 10: And you, well, you like a very definite type of girl,
43:03
Speaker 10: and I'm very definitely not it.
43:05
Speaker 2: Oh, don't be mad, Aunt Susie.
43:07
Speaker 10: I'm sorry. What is it, Joe?
43:10
Speaker 5: Well, Susie, what I've got to tell you... Well, it's
43:13
Speaker 5: not very easy, but... Oh, the same thing happens every
43:16
Speaker 5: time I'm with you. I hear myself saying words that
43:20
Speaker 5: never have anything to do with the things I really
43:22
Speaker 5: feel about you.
43:23
Speaker 10: Well, all I know are the things you say, Joe,
43:25
Speaker 10: and I don't like them.
43:27
Speaker 5: But I've never said what I really wanted to say because... Oh,
43:30
Speaker 5: because my way of saying it just.
43:31
Speaker 2: Isn't good enough.
43:32
Speaker 10: Well, then there must be some other way.
43:35
Speaker 5: Oh, sure.
43:36
Speaker 2: Sure there is.
43:37
Speaker 5: Comes right out of Romeo and Juliet and The Three
43:40
Speaker 5: Musketeers and all that stuff they say in books and movies. Yeah, yeah, movies.
43:45
Speaker 2: Like they're making here now. They're full of words I
43:48
Speaker 2: want to say, but I can't.
43:50
Speaker 10: Well, did you ever think of trying, Joe?
43:52
Speaker 7: No.
43:53
Speaker 2: You'd laugh at me. I'd laugh at myself.
43:55
Speaker 5: Words like that don't go with sailor suits and four-day
43:59
Speaker 5: leaves and the world we live in.
44:01
Speaker 2: Well, you see that scenery over there?
44:03
Speaker 12: Mm-hmm.
44:04
Speaker 10: That's for the picture we're making.
44:05
Speaker 2: Yeah.
44:06
Speaker 5: Long ago. Make-believe. That stuff. A world of cloaks and
44:10
Speaker 5: swords and.
44:12
Speaker 7: I don't know.
44:13
Speaker 2: If you lived in a place like that, I could
44:15
Speaker 2: tell you.
44:16
Speaker 10: Oh, Joe, why don't you tell me? Please tell me.
44:20
Speaker 10: But I.
44:23
Speaker 2: All right, then I will. Susan, I love you.
44:28
Speaker 23: I love you.
44:42
Speaker 7: You're a little late, Joe. It's half past six.
44:44
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Clarence. Joe.
44:47
Speaker 9: Yeah?
44:48
Speaker 7: You were... Yeah?
44:50
Speaker 2: You were nothing.
44:51
Speaker 10: Clarence.
44:52
Speaker 7: Yeah, Joe.
44:53
Speaker 2: If I was to tell you that I.
44:56
Speaker 2: No. It's been a hot day, hasn't it? Bartender, give
45:00
Speaker 2: me a beer.
45:02
Speaker 7: Joe, look, I gotta.
45:02
Speaker 2: No, Clarence, you look.
45:04
Speaker 5: Clarence, sometimes things happen and, well, you just can't help them, see? Well,
45:08
Speaker 5: you meet somebody and you don't think it's anything and then, well,
45:11
Speaker 5: all of a sudden it is something and I.
45:13
Speaker 2: Gee, that's exactly the way it happened. Don't I know.
45:17
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's wonderful, though.
45:19
Speaker 2: Well, it could be, but not when you double-cross a pal.
45:23
Speaker 2: When did you find out, Joe?
45:24
Speaker 7: Today.
45:25
Speaker 5: But I've had a hunch about it pretty nearly from
45:27
Speaker 5: the beginning.
45:28
Speaker 7: You did?
45:29
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's funny, I didn't. Not until I kissed her, huh?
45:35
Speaker 2: Of course, last night when she dropped the noodle soup
45:37
Speaker 2: on me, I should have known then.
45:38
Speaker 10: The.
45:40
Speaker 2: The waitress!
45:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
45:42
Speaker 7: Gee, she's a terrible waitress.
45:44
Speaker 2: Oh, no!
45:45
Speaker 10: No!
45:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe, you mean.
45:47
Speaker 7: You mean you're not sore on me?
45:48
Speaker 8: Oh, no.
45:48
Speaker 2: No, I'm not sore.
45:50
Speaker 7: Is she sore, Susie?
45:51
Speaker 2: Susie?
45:52
Speaker 5: No, I wouldn't say she acted sore.
45:54
Speaker 2: No, not at all. Even when you told her there
45:56
Speaker 2: wasn't going to be any audition? Any aud.
45:58
Speaker 7: No. Joe... Joe, you mean you didn't tell her?
46:06
Speaker 5: Uh-uh.
46:07
Speaker 7: Well, what did you tell her?
46:09
Speaker 2: What could you be talking about all this time? Oh,
46:13
Speaker 2: just things. Joe, you're in love with Susan yourself. Mm-hmm.
46:20
Speaker 7: Yeah, you see?
46:21
Speaker 2: I'm not such a dope, Joe. You're going to ask
46:24
Speaker 2: her to marry you, aren't you, Joe? Gee, I'd sure
46:27
Speaker 2: like to. Well, when?
46:29
Speaker 7: Before or after she doesn't have the audition with the Terbys?
46:33
Speaker 24: A turby.
46:34
Speaker 2: Clarence, I gotta get to a turby. But where?
46:38
Speaker 5: He's gotta light someplace. He's gotta have someplace he calls home.
46:43
Speaker 13: Home.
46:44
Speaker 2: Home, Clarence.
46:45
Speaker 1: Home!
46:46
Speaker 16: Come on, Clarence!
46:56
Speaker 7: Yes, gentlemen?
46:57
Speaker 2: Oh, good morning. Has Mr. returned? You're the same sailors
47:00
Speaker 2: who were here last night. All night.
47:02
Speaker 7: We slept under the tree.
47:04
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm terribly sorry, but he gave a concert last
47:06
Speaker 2: night in Bakersfield.
47:07
Speaker 5: Yeah, you told us.
47:08
Speaker 2: That was last night.
47:09
Speaker 7: He just phoned.
47:10
Speaker 2: He's going straight to the studio. Oh, thanks.
47:14
Speaker 7: Gee whiz, that's awful. What are you going to do, Joe?
47:19
Speaker 7: You know, our bus leaves at noon.
47:21
Speaker 5: Well, I'll... I'll go straight to Susie's house and stop
47:24
Speaker 5: her before she leaves for the audition.
47:25
Speaker 2: Now, look, Clarence.
47:27
Speaker 5: Don't let this spoil it for you, kid. You go
47:29
Speaker 5: to see Brooklyn. You haven't got much time.
47:32
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be glad to go with you, Joe.
47:34
Speaker 5: Nah, beat it, pal. This is something I gotta handle myself.
47:44
Speaker 8: And I've been worrying, Joe. I was afraid you wouldn't
47:46
Speaker 8: come and see me again.
47:48
Speaker 2: Ah, Donald, you don't think I'd go away without saying goodbye.
47:50
Speaker 4: Joe.
47:52
Speaker 8: If you're looking for somebody, Aunt Susie isn't home. She
47:55
Speaker 8: went to the studio. You can see Mrs. Murphy, though.
48:00
Speaker 5: No thanks, Donald. Look, kid, I've got to get back
48:04
Speaker 5: to my ship. Will you tell Aunt Susie something for me?
48:08
Speaker 5: You tell her that I tried awfully hard to make
48:11
Speaker 5: things come out right and that I'm awfully sorry it
48:14
Speaker 5: had to end that way.
48:16
Speaker 2: Have you got that? Yes, sir.
48:18
Speaker 10: Good.
48:19
Speaker 2: Thanks, sailor.
48:20
Speaker 10: Thanks.
48:25
Speaker 2: Well, here you are, Susie, your coffee and donut.
48:28
Speaker 17: Thanks, Eddie.
48:29
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have kept you waiting, but seeing who you
48:31
Speaker 2: were just talking to... Boy, Hosea Turby!
48:34
Speaker 10: Oh, and I'm the biggest fool you ever saw.
48:36
Speaker 2: Hey, now, wait a minute.
48:38
Speaker 10: Sure I was talking to him, Eddie.
48:40
Speaker 2: Didn't you hear me?
48:42
Speaker 10: Good morning, Mr. E.
48:43
Speaker 8: Turby.
48:43
Speaker 10: I'm so excited. Imagine running into you here in the cafeteria.
48:46
Speaker 12: Huh?
48:47
Speaker 2: Susie, what is this? What is it?
48:50
Speaker 10: It's just the joke of the month. Oh, I was
48:52
Speaker 10: foolish enough to believe in someone... I thought he was
48:56
Speaker 10: my friend. He told me he'd arranged it all with Mr. E.
48:59
Speaker 8: Turby.
49:01
Speaker 5: You mean you were going to sing for a Turby
49:02
Speaker 5: and everybody knew about it but a Turby?
49:06
Speaker 10: Oh, I'm sorry, Eddie. I just can't help it.
49:09
Speaker 2: Oh, Eddie?
49:10
Speaker 10: Eddie, do you know a girl named Abbott? Susan Abbott?
49:13
Speaker 5: That's her right there, Miss Green, and she ain't feeling
49:15
Speaker 5: so hot.
49:15
Speaker 10: Well, maybe I can make her feel better. Miss Abbott,
49:18
Speaker 10: I'm Mr. Turby's secretary.
49:20
Speaker 2: Remember?
49:20
Speaker 10: Oh, yes, I do, and I promise I won't ever
49:24
Speaker 10: bother him again. You see, I didn't know... He didn't
49:27
Speaker 10: know either, Miss Abbott, but he knows now.
49:29
Speaker 17: You thought you had an audition for 11.15 this morning,
49:31
Speaker 17: didn't you?
49:32
Speaker 10: Yes, I made a terrible mistake. Well, Mr. Turby thinks
49:35
Speaker 10: a screen test and audition would be much better. He what? Well,
49:39
Speaker 10: I would have come sooner, but I've been busy phoning
49:41
Speaker 10: wardrobe and makeup.
49:42
Speaker 2: Here.
49:42
Speaker 10: Here are your instructions. They're all in this paper. Stage three,
49:45
Speaker 10: Miss Abbott, at 11.15. From the heart of a lonely
49:58
Speaker 10: poet came a song for the girl he adored. Though
50:03
Speaker 10: she tried very hard not to show it, she.
50:07
Speaker 17: Was terribly, terribly bored.
50:15
Speaker 10: But then the poet asked.
50:16
Speaker 18: Her if she'd like to waltz, and her eyes shone,
50:22
Speaker 18: and the moon shone, and the star.
50:26
Speaker 2: Shone up above.
50:36
Speaker 3: Thank you.
50:37
Speaker 7: Thank you.
51:05
Speaker 18: As they waltzed, though she tried not to show it,
51:10
Speaker 18: you could see.
51:11
Speaker 16: In her eyes a light that shone with her love
51:16
Speaker 16: for the poet.
51:18
Speaker 18: As they waltzed through the thrill of the night.
51:41
Speaker 23: Miss Abbott, that was wonderful. Come to my office as
51:52
Speaker 23: soon as you're through talking to Mr.
51:53
Speaker 2: Eterby.
51:54
Speaker 10: Oh, thank you very much.
51:55
Speaker 2: Young woman, you're going to be a star. Ah, look, Joe,
52:05
Speaker 2: just because we're off duty, what do we have to
52:08
Speaker 2: sit here in quarters for?
52:09
Speaker 7: All you do is sit and stare.
52:11
Speaker 5: I'm looking at the harbor. We're shoving off tonight, aren't we?
52:14
Speaker 5: It'll be a long time before we see land again,
52:16
Speaker 5: won't it?
52:17
Speaker 7: Ah, don't give me that. Why don't you write Susie
52:19
Speaker 7: a letter, Joe?
52:20
Speaker 2: I don't have anything to tell her.
52:21
Speaker 7: Well, tell her you're sorry.
52:23
Speaker 2: She knows I'm sorry. How does she know? Clarence, you
52:26
Speaker 2: write a letter, will you? Write Brooklyn two letters. I'll
52:29
Speaker 2: wash some socks. I'll go to sleep. I don't... Joe.
52:34
Speaker 7: What's the matter, Jim?
52:35
Speaker 2: The O.D.
52:36
Speaker 18: Oh.
52:36
Speaker 2: Oh, excuse me, sir.
52:37
Speaker 7: I didn't see you.
52:37
Speaker 3: Seaman Brady.
52:38
Speaker 10: Aye, aye, sir.
52:39
Speaker 7: Seaman Doolittle. Aye, aye, sir.
52:40
Speaker 2: Why aren't you men on deck? Don't you know there's
52:41
Speaker 2: a big entertainment program about to start? Don't you want
52:44
Speaker 2: to see those Hollywood stars?
52:45
Speaker 5: Well, we're off duty, sir, and I, well, I guess
52:47
Speaker 5: we don't feel like being entertained.
52:49
Speaker 2: Oh, you don't, don't you? There's a man named Derby
52:52
Speaker 2: on board asking for you. Derby? He's asking for us?
52:56
Speaker 2: You heard me. Aft on the quarter deck. Get going,
52:58
Speaker 2: both of you.
53:03
Speaker 7: He said after deck, Joe, but I wouldn't know.
53:05
Speaker 2: A terby if I... Brooklyn!
53:08
Speaker 10: Blackbush!
53:09
Speaker 7: What are you doing here?
53:10
Speaker 8: Oh, you're complaining, honey.
53:12
Speaker 2: Brooklyn!
53:14
Speaker 7: Joe!
53:15
Speaker 2: Hey, Joe! Look at me!
53:16
Speaker 7: I'm kissing her, Joe!
53:18
Speaker 2: I'm hugging her, Joe! Hey, Joe, I'm a wolf, I'm a.
53:22
Speaker 7: Hey, where's Joe?
53:23
Speaker 8: See where the band is?
53:25
Speaker 13: Well, look!
53:26
Speaker 7: Aunt Susie.
53:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, Aunt Susie.
53:29
Speaker 2: All hands, attention.
53:30
Speaker 7: All hands, attention. At ease, men.
53:33
Speaker 20: I've been requested by our guest of honor, Mr. Atterby,
53:36
Speaker 20: to grant a young artist permission to make her debut
53:38
Speaker 20: right here. Therefore, I'd like to introduce the singer discovered
53:42
Speaker 20: by the United States Navy, Miss Susie.
53:44
Speaker 8: Aunt Susie, there's Joe. There's our Joe.
53:48
Speaker 2: Joe. Susie.
53:56
Speaker 20: Therefore, in about five minutes, I'd like to introduce a
54:00
Speaker 20: young singer discovered by the.
54:01
Speaker 6: United States Navy.
54:02
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I am sure the band has something to contribute.

54:14
Speaker 9: Woo-hoo!
54:14
Speaker 3: Woo- Our stars will return for their curtain calls in
54:28
Speaker 3: a moment. What's that book you're reading, Libby?
54:30
Speaker 17: Oh, a book of riddles. Let's see how smart you are, John.
54:33
Speaker 17: Here's one. What word of five letters is never pronounced right?
54:38
Speaker 3: You had me there.
54:40
Speaker 17: It's wrong. W-R-O-N-G, see? Try this. Why is a bridegroom
54:46
Speaker 17: more expensive than a bride?
54:48
Speaker 3: Oh, I give up. What's the catch?
54:49
Speaker 17: The bride is given away.
54:52
Speaker 3: Oh, but it's going to cost them plenty after they're married.
54:54
Speaker 17: Oh, not if she's a luxe bride. For instance, she'll
54:57
Speaker 17: get three pretty slips for the price of one.
54:59
Speaker 2: And that's no riddle, ladies.
55:01
Speaker 3: We know by actual washing tests that slips and nightgowns
55:04
Speaker 3: washed the luxe way stay lovely three times as long.
55:08
Speaker 3: Identical slips washed the wrong way with a strong soap,
55:11
Speaker 3: hot water, and rough handling look faded and old very soon.
55:15
Speaker 17: So if you wash your undies the luxe way, it's
55:18
Speaker 17: like getting three lovely garments for the price of one.
55:21
Speaker 17: And that's especially important these days when our dollars have
55:24
Speaker 17: to stretch like a rubber band.
55:26
Speaker 3: Luxe flakes are real budget stretchers because they're such thrifty
55:29
Speaker 3: care for all your nice things.
55:32
Speaker 7: Here's Mr.
55:33
Speaker 3: Keeley at the microphone.
55:34
Speaker 4: For rounding out the year on such a happy note,
55:37
Speaker 4: our thanks to Joe Pasternak, who produced Anchors Away, and
55:41
Speaker 4: to the stars who brought it to our stage, Frank Sinatra,
55:45
Speaker 4: Catherine Grayson, and Gene Kelly.
55:47
Speaker 2: Thank you.
55:53
Speaker 4: You've set a challenging standard for us with tonight's performance.
55:56
Speaker 2: Well, Bill, we're very glad that you got back from
55:58
Speaker 2: Washington in time to join us.
56:00
Speaker 10: Yes, and what's this I hear about your making off
56:02
Speaker 10: with the door to J. Edgar Hoover's office?
56:05
Speaker 4: Well, we had to get a shot of that door,
56:07
Speaker 4: so instead of carting our cameras upstairs, we just stole
56:11
Speaker 4: the door and brought it down.
56:12
Speaker 5: Well, that's quite something, stealing a door from under the
56:15
Speaker 5: FBI's nose.
56:16
Speaker 2: Actually, the FBI was most cooperative. We'll be looking forward
56:19
Speaker 2: to seeing that picture when it's finished, Bill.
56:21
Speaker 4: Thanks, Frank, and I'm looking forward to the film that
56:23
Speaker 4: you and Catherine just finished for Metro-Golden-Mare, The Kissing Bandit.
56:28
Speaker 10: Well, all I can say is that Frank's voice is
56:30
Speaker 10: as good as ever in that picture.
56:31
Speaker 2: For that matter, that husband you keep at home is
56:33
Speaker 2: no slouch either.
56:35
Speaker 4: You mean Johnny Johnston? He and Catherine make a fine duo.
56:40
Speaker 4: As for you, Gene, we're happy to see you on
56:42
Speaker 4: your feet again.
56:43
Speaker 2: Yes, after all those broken legs, I'm sure Gene's fans
56:46
Speaker 2: are anxious to know if he'll ever dance for them again. Well,
56:48
Speaker 2: here's my answer, Frank.
56:49
Speaker 7: Well, lay it on us, kid.
56:57
Speaker 12: Yes, sir.
56:58
Speaker 7: Looks like the old Kelly, Gene.
57:00
Speaker 10: And Gene's fans will have a chance to see him
57:03
Speaker 10: dance when MGM releases his next picture called The Pirate.
57:07
Speaker 7: Say, speaking of pictures, Bill, what's playing here next week?
57:10
Speaker 4: Next Monday night, to start the new year off with
57:13
Speaker 4: flying colors, we're presenting RKO's great comedy success, The Farmer's Daughter,
57:20
Speaker 4: with its two romantic stars, Loretta Young and Joseph Cotton.
57:25
Speaker 4: And lovely Loretta has, I think, the most entertaining role
57:29
Speaker 4: of her career in this gay adventure of a Swedish
57:32
Speaker 4: housemaid grappling with love and politics.
57:35
Speaker 7: A wonderful way of saying Happy New Year, Bill. Good night.
57:38
Speaker 3: Good night and.
57:39
Speaker 4: Best wishes to all three of you. Before we meet again,
57:47
Speaker 4: the old year will have passed us by. And with it,
57:51
Speaker 4: speed our outworn prejudices and mistakes. we stand upon the
57:56
Speaker 4: threshold of new opportunity, the chance to strive anew for
58:01
Speaker 4: tolerance and justice to the end that all mankind may
58:05
Speaker 4: truthfully look forward to a happy new year.
58:17
Speaker 4: Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lux Flakes, join me

59:16
Speaker 24: families throughout America compared new Pepsodent toothpaste with the brands
59:21
Speaker 24: they'd been using at home. By an overwhelming average of
59:24
Speaker 24: 3 to 1, they preferred new Pepsodent with irium over
59:28
Speaker 24: any other brand they tried. They said new Pepsodent toothpaste
59:32
