Two scenes from the original 1964 Star Trek pilot "The Cage" contained dialogue deleted in the production of "The Menagerie" that was not included in the "restored" versions of the pilot released on DVD and Blu-Ray. This dialogue is presented here in context. The second scene includes a portion of Malachi Throne's original voice performance as the Talosian Magistrate. This sound was recorded at a public screening in 1982, unavoidably resulting in a "large-room" acoustic effect.
It seems odd that a project called a film "restoration" should show so little interest in detail, but both the DVD and Blu-ray versions of "The Cage" have used the pitch-modulated version of the Keeper's voice and failed to restore the lost dialogue and the different pacing of the original pilot. This video is therefore intended to help preserve the historical record in hope that the film will eventually be released in its original form, even if only as a direct transfer of the existing 16 mm black and white print.
For some reason, Captain Pike's line "You were like a -- a wild little animal," which is included in "The Menagerie," was deleted from the "restored" all-color version of "The Cage" on DVD and Blu-ray. It is not featured in this video because it is available in its original context in the earlier B&W-color edit introduced by Gene Roddenberry.

Malachi Throne's original voice performance as the Talosian Magistrate in the 1964 Star Trek pilot, recorded at a public screening in 1982. Audience reactions can be heard occasionally, particularly in response to dialogue not included in "The Menagerie," since very few people had seen "The Cage" at that time.
It seems odd that a project called a film "restoration" should show so little interest in restoring the original sound, but both the DVD and Blu-ray versions of "The Cage" have used the pitch-modulated version of the Keeper's voice. This video is therefore intended to preserve the historical record in hope that the film will eventually be released in its original form.
Other variations between the original pilot and the "restored" version include subtle differences in pacing, such as longer pauses which are edited out here for the sake of synchronization; and some additional dialogue from Captain Pike, which is included here over a still frame.
This is a corrected version of a video posted earlier. The overall pitch of the first version was slightly low, only by about 1/5 semitone, but enough to make a noticeable difference in the characteristics of voices.
The line "A curious species -- they have fantasies they hide even from themselves" is not included here because it was most likely spoken by the second Talosian and pitch-altered for the DVD by mistake. It is available in its original form on the Roddenberry-introduced B&W-color edition of "The Cage."

more
The catchphrase "Vas you dere, Charley?" swept the United States in late 1932 due to the brief popularity of radio comedian Jack Pearl. As the character Baron Munchausen, Pearl would tell increasingly fanciful stories of his travels and exploits to his sidekick "Charley" (originally played by Cliff Hall), who at some point would express disbelief. The Baron would then retort using this catchphrase. His popularity quickly faded as the character was perceived as one-dimensional. (Joe Penner would enjoy similar fleeting fame the following year with his solitary catchphrase "Wanna buy a duck?")
This clip is from the 1933 film "Meet the Baron" and features Ben Bard as "Charley." The film also included Jimmy Durante as well as Ted Healy and his Three Stooges. All copyrights are hereby acknowledged. This clip is posted for purposes of historical documentation and research, not for commercial purposes. No infringement is intended but only fair use. Please buy the DVD of this film available from Warner Home Video.
