 Lux presents Hollywood brings you Barbara Stanley, Ray Maland and Charles Corbyn in The Lady E. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight, the Lux Radio Theatre will be curtailed to 45 minutes so that we may all hear the president of the United States, Vice President Wallace and Secretary of Agriculture, Wiccote. Keep tuned to this station and you will be sure to hear them. Now, compared to what Barbara Stanwyck does to Ray Maland in tonight's play, The Lady Eve, the woes of Adam seem like the life of Riley. Eve used an apple. Ms. Stanwyck, aided and abetted by Charles Corbyn, uses a deck of cards, a treacherous disguise and a tropic moon. After what Barbara did with this Blitzkrieg combination in the Paramount picture, Ray Maland should be forewarned of what's ahead of him tonight. But The Lady Eve gets her just desserts. She may be a card shop, but she's helpless when love deals aces from the bottom of the deck. This time every year, I take on a little extra job, one that seems to go very well with producing pictures and radio plays, and also with Lux toilet soap. Schools and colleges all over the country send photographs of the girls in their graduating classes and ask me to pick the most beautiful. A very simple request, but not easy to answer. At first glance, it usually looks like a tie. In those cases, I suspect that all the girls have been using Lux toilet soap since they were able to talk. And a girl can say Lux very young. Now the curtain and the first act of The Lady Eve, starring Barbara Stanwyck as Jean Harrington, Ray Maland as Charles Pike, and Charles Coburn as Colonel Harrington. He's coming on board now, Charles Pike! There he is, Myrtle. Charles Pike himself. Who's he, Mama? What do you care? He's worth a fortune, any single. Go put on your shorts. The catch of the season is just coming aboard the steamship Southern Queen, anchored at the mouth of the Amazon. Returning from a scientific expedition in the Brazilian jungle, young and single Charles Pike climbs the ship's ladder, and every mother with an eligible daughter gives him a sickening smile. At the rail of the boat are Colonel Harrington and his daughter Jean. The Colonel and Jean, however, are not interested in marrying the Pike fortune. They have a better way to get it. Very likely prospect, my dear. Yeah, I hope he thinks he's a wizard at cards. My fingers are itching already. Maybe I ought to go to the cabin and fix up a nice cold deck. I wish he had a fat wife, so I wouldn't have to dance in the moonlight with him. I don't know why it is, but a sucker always steps on your feet. A mug is a mug in everything. I don't see why I have to do all the dirty work. There must be plenty of rich old dames just waiting for you to push them around. Don't be vulgar, Jean. Let us be crooked, but never common. Ah, here's Gerald. Gerald! Oh, there you are, sir. Well, Gerald, did you get the lowdown on him? Oh, yes, sir, I did. Come on, Gerald, forget the butler act. Is the sucker rich? As the person so picturesquely put it, the sucker is dripping with dope. Good. What does he own, Pike's Peak? Oh, no, no, no, no. Pike's Pale, the ale that one for Yale. Martena, another bottle of Pike's Peak. Pike's Peak? Please? Two more Pike's Ales. Straighten your seams, darling. Oh, well, of course. That is just very, very interesting. Look at them ordering ale. Every dame at the bar is going to pass out with galloping hiccups. They don't seem to be making much of an impression on Mr. Pike. I think it's time you got acquainted with him, my dear. Look at that girl over to his left. Look over to your left, sucker. See those nice door teeth all beaming at you? No, he doesn't like them. Now he's getting up to go. He's coming this way, Jean. Move your chair back, Harry. I'm going to trip him on his face. You think that's a good way to meet him? Nobody else is getting any place. Look out. Here he is. Oh! Why don't you look where you're going? Why don't I look? You stuck out your foot... Look what you did to my shoe. You knocked the heel off. Oh, I did. Well, I'm certainly sorry. You didn't. You can take me right down to my cabin for another pair of slippers. Oh, well, I guess it's the least I can do. By the way, my name is Pike. Oh, everybody knows that. Nobody's talking about anything else. This is my father, Colonel Harrington. My name is Jean. It's really you, Jean here. My cabin's down this way. Come on. Pretty cozy, isn't it? Yeah. Something burning? Holy Moses. What's the matter? That perfume. What's the matter with it? Oh, nothing. It's just that I've been up the Amazon for a year and they don't use perfume. It smells good. Oh, the shoes are over here in the trunk. And because you were so polite, you can pick them out and put them on if you like. Put them on? You? Well, not on you. Go ahead. Holy Moses, look at all those shoes. See anything you like? Yeah. Gosh, it doesn't seem possible for anybody to wear anything this size. Oh, that's pretty. Oh, you'll have to kneel down, Mr. Pike. Hmm? To put them on me. Oh, sure. That's right. You know, you should have been a shoe salesman. Don't you feel well? Oh, I'm all right. Tell me, what were you doing up the Amazon? I'm looking for snakes. I'm an ophiologist. I thought you were in the beer business. Beer? Ale. What's the difference? Between beer and ale? Yes. Listen, my father would burst a blood vessel if he heard you say that. There's a big difference. Ale's sort of fermented on the top or something and beer's fermented on the bottom or maybe it's the other way around. Anyway, there's no similarity at all. Oh. You know, it's funny to have been kneeling here at your feet talking about beer. You've probably heard a lot about it. Yes, all my life. Ever since I was six years old, the kids called me Hopsy. Hopsy Pike. Hello, Hopsy. Oh, make it Charlie, will you please? All right. But there's something kind of cute about Hopsy. All finished? Yes. You know, maybe you were right about the shoe business. I never realized before how lovely it could be. Oh, thank you. Well, um... Well? We'd better get back now. Yes, I guess so. You see where I've been, I mean, at the Amazon, I mean, we haven't seen a girl in a long time. There's something about that perfume. Don't you like my perfume? Like it? I'm cuckooed on it. Why, Hopsy? You ought to be kept in the cage. Come along, Hopsy. Well, it certainly took you long enough to get back in the same dress. Mr. Pike wanted to hold hands. He's been up a river for a year. Oh, now, look, I am sorry if I... No, pay no attention to my daughter's dribbledry. It always comes out in the women of our family. The men are all missionaries, with the exception of myself. And what an exception. Won't you sit down, Mr. Pike? I've just been amusing myself with a little solitaire. Oh, cards. Oh, well, by the way, have you seen this one? Now you see the card, and now you don't. Oh, he does card tricks. Well, bless my soul. Do that again, will you? Certainly. Now you see it, now you don't. Amazing. Wonderful. You palm it in this hand. Of course, it takes a good deal of practice. Oh, I can well imagine it might. It's a good thing I know who you are, or I wouldn't play cards with you. Sir? Well, you know what they say, my boy, gamblers on boats. Oh. Oh, you don't really think that... Oh, of course not, silly. You look as honest as we do. Oh, thank you. Not at all. Just jushing you, my boy. How about a rubber of bridge right now? Oh, I'd like to. Oh, you're probably much too good for us, Mr. Pike. Well, I don't have to play my best. Aren't you sweet? Who will we get for a four? Isn't there a three-handed game I seem vaguely to remember having? Yes, there is. And there'll be much cozier. Will you shuffle? Well, I'll try. Now let's see. I am not very good at this. Oh, you, $498. Oh, now wait. I didn't want to win from you. Oh, Father's in the oil business, Mr. Pike. It just keeps bubbling up out of the ground. How much do I owe? Now, let me see. Roughly $100. That's rough enough. Oh, but look, I really... Oh, don't you worry. We'll get it back. Well, if that's a promise. You can depend on it. Well, if you don't mind, I think I'll tattle off and leave you young people to talk about whatever young people talk about. Good night, sir. I'm really awfully sorry about this. Oh, beeswax, my boy. Beeswax. Good night, Jeannie. Good night, darling. Good night. Now, he's a nice fellow, your father. He's a good card player, too. Do you think so? Well, I don't want to be rude, but I thought he seemed a little uneven. He's more uneven sometimes than others. Well, that's what makes him uneven, of course. But now, you, on the other hand, with a little coaching, you could be terrific. Oh, you really think so? Oh, yes, you have a definite nose. Well, I'm glad you like it. Do you like any of the rest of me? Oh, what I meant was in the card playing sense. I know what you meant. I was just flirting with you. Oh. Oh, I... I see. You're not going to faint, are you? Who, me? Oh, no, it's... it's that perfume. Oh. Did you think there's dancing any place on board? Don't you think we ought to get some rest? You can see me to my cabin if you want. Oh. You know, you're certainly a funny girl for anybody to meet who's been up the Amazon for a year. The good thing you weren't up there two years. Come on. Isn't that a coincidence? Well, for heaven's sake, here's my cabin. Fantastic! Would you care to come in and see Emma? That's a new one, isn't it? All right, why not? Who's Emma? I thought that was just a gag. Technically, she's a columbrina martizia, a rare type of Brazilian glass snake. A snake? Say, she's gotten out of her box. She's out! Don't worry, she's around here someplace. Be careful where you step. Oh, let me out of here! No, wait, listen, she's a playboy. I'm sorry, I wouldn't have frightened you for anything in the world. Why didn't you tell me you had a slippery crawling? But I thought you understood that Emma was a snake. How could I understand anything of the kind? Why should I suspect him? You don't know what you've done to me. Well, I'm terribly sorry. I wouldn't have frightened you for anything in the world. If there's anyone in the world I wouldn't want to frighten it's you. Oh, you're very sweet. Don't let me go. I won't. Thank you. How was everything up to the Amazon? All right, thank you. What are you thinking about? Nothing. Are you always going to be interested in snakes? Well, snakes are my life in a way. What a life. I suppose it does sound sort of silly. I mean, I suppose I should have married and settled down. Why didn't you? Well, I suggest that I've never met her. I suppose she's around somewhere in the world. Well, I suppose you know what she looks like in everything. I think so. How are her teeth? Hmm? Well, you should always pick one out with good teeth. It saves expense later. Oh, now you're kidding me. No, not badly. You have a right to have an ideal. I guess we all have one. What does yours look like? He's a little short guy with lots of money. Why short? What does it matter if he's rich? It's so he'll look up to me, so I'll be his ideal. Funny kind of reasoning? Yeah, well, look who's reasoning. And when he takes me out to dinner, he'll never add up the check and won't smoke breezy cigars or use grease on his hair and... Oh, yes, he won't do card tricks. Oh. Well, I shouldn't think your kind of ideal was so difficult to find. Oh, he isn't? That's why he's my ideal. What's the use of having one if you can't ever find him? Well, when I'm married, it's going to be somebody I've never seen before. I won't know what he looks like, or where he'll come from, or what he'll be. I... I want him to sort of take me back abroad. Like a burger? Yes, that's right. And the night will be heavy with perfume, you know. He'll have a step behind me and somebody breathing heavily. And then I... What's the matter? Hmm? You're looking sick again. Oh, you know, I'm not. It's just you being so near you. No, I... I'd like to be near you always. Why? Are you proposing to me so soon? Oh, no, no, no, of course not. Well, then you ought to be more careful. People have been sued for much less. Well, not by girls like you. Oh. Don't you know it's dangerous to trust people you don't know very well? But I know you very well. No, no, I mean people you haven't known very long. I've known you a long time, in a way. Good night. Huh? I think I can sleep peacefully, you know. Oh, I wish I could stay the same. Why, how'd say? Thank you, Gerald. My card cuts are on the outside. Cold hands in the middle. Cold? Her little pal hasn't fallen overboard. He's all right. He's just gone to dress for dinner. Then I think, my dear, you'd better do the same. I think Charles is in love with me. No. Of course he's in love with you. Who is he not to be in love with you? No, I mean on the level, Harry. Are you suggesting that the others were on the bias? Oh, stop kidding. You see, I like him too. Why shouldn't you like him? There's as fine a specimen of the Suckersapiens as I've ever seen. I think he's going to ask me to marry him. No, no. Yes. But that's wonderful, Jean. We shall play high card tonight. He won't know an ace from a deuce. You weren't thinking of taking him, Harry. Well, what were you thinking of? Well, I don't think you understand. This is on the up and up. I'm in love with the poor fish. And I want to be exactly the way he thinks I am, the way he'd like me to be. I'm sure that's very noble, Jean. And I wish you all the happiness in the world. And you'll go straight too, won't you, Harry? Straight to where? You know what I mean. You can come and live with us. Think how peaceful you can be. Playing cribbage with Gerald? I can just see myself. You tend to your knitting. I'll play the card. What about him? Do you happen to remember that that sucker has $600 of hours in his pocket? Well, I suppose you could take that back. You bet I could. And a little divot end along with it. Oh, no. Oh, yes. Oh, no. Yes. No. And that settles it. Don't respect their parents anymore. I'll make you a check for what I owe you. No, no, no, my boy. I wish you wouldn't do that. Here, we'll cut the cards once more. Double or nothing. No, thanks. I'd rather pay $32,000 than lose a really large amount. Very embarrassing. Make it out to cash. It could even be more embarrassing. $32,000 in no sense. Here you are, sir. I feel terrible, my boy. Oh, by the way, I'd prefer if you wouldn't tell Jean anything about this. You may depend upon it. You certainly may. Jean, my sweet. Charles, you promised me you wouldn't play anymore. Well, we didn't play anymore, Jean. We were just wiping out my loss. You need a keeper. And now, Father, that you've taught Charles not to play double or nothing, what are you going to do with that check? Just this, my pretty child. I shall tear it up. You mean it was just a joke? Of course. You don't actually think I'd bleed my own daughter's friend, do you? Perish the thought. Come on, Charles. You can take me for a walk on deck. The air is good, isn't it? It makes you feel all clean inside and nice. Yes. What is it? You know, I've just understood something. Yes? It came over me all of a sudden. I'm in love with you, Jean. I've never loved anyone but you. I know that sounds as dull as a drugstore novel, but it's what I feel. I wish we were married and on our honeymoon right now. Oh, so do I. But it isn't as simple as all that, Hopsey. I'm terribly in love when you seem to be too, so... one of us has to think and try and keep things clear. Maybe I can do that better than you can. They say a moonlit deck is the woman's business office. I'm going to kiss you, Jean. Of course you are, darling. I said to Myrtle, I said, I don't care for those people. Mrs. Bullock, what are you trying to tell me? What are you talking about? The Harrington's. Myrtle, show Mr. Pike what we got from the Persia's office, dear. Yes, Mama. You see, Mr. Pike, it's a photograph, and there's something on the back. Listen, handsome Harry Harrington and his daughter, Jean, professional card shops. Let me see that. It's the Harrington's all right. Also, bunco, oil wells and occasional gold mines. Hard shops. We're sorry we have to tell you, Mr. Pike, but it's for your own good, of course. And like I said... May I keep this picture? You certainly. And if you would like... Thanks, goodbye. Oh, Mr. Pike, will you have dinner with us tonight? No, I will not. Why the... Wait, Mama. I thought you said he'd be glad to hear about it. Shut up! Straight Scotch double. Yes, sir. Why, Hopsey, what are you doing at the bar at this hour? Good morning. Good morning, darling. You look like the last grave over near the willow. Have you got something? Should I be? Of course you should. Falling in love with an adventurer on the high seas. Are you an adventurer? Of course I am. All women are. If you waited for a man to propose to you from natural causes, you'd die of old maidenhood. Jean? Yes, darling? You'd better take a look at this photograph. Rotten likeness, isn't it? I never did care for that picture. I can understand that. Oh, please don't look so upset, darling. I was going to tell you when we got to New York. I would have told you last night only. Well, you never know how a person will take a thing like that. Maybe I wanted you to love me a little more, too. You believe me, don't you? Anyway, I'm glad you got the picture this morning instead of last night. You thought you were having a lot of fun with me, didn't you? Oh, I was having a lot of fun with you, Hopsey. More fun than I've ever had with anybody. You were certainly very funny showing Harry how to poem a card. You were pretty funny yourself. When? Trying to play me for a sucker when they told me who you were the morning after I met you. Who told you? Never mind who told me. You mean you were playing me for a sucker? I don't believe it. But if you were, if you were just trying to make me feel cheap and hurt me, you succeeded handsomely. You ought to be very proud of yourself, Mr. Pike. Very proud of yourself. Through a brief intermission, Mr. DeMille and our stars, Barbara Stanwyck, Ray Milland, and Charles Coburn, will bring us act two of the Lady Eve. And now we place our imaginary microphones on a rehearsal stage over at Columbia Studios where two young extras are just finishing a dance routine. I feel like a wilted lettuce leaf. That certainly was a workout. And me with a date tonight. Me too. Say, we better get going. What we need is time for a nice, warm, soothing... She looks like a million, doesn't she? She sure does. And after the hours she danced in that ballroom scene today. Well, we're not the only ones who know what a nice, relaxing lux toilet soap bath can do for a gal. Yes, lovely Rita Hayworth and other Hollywood stars use their complexion soap, the Lux Toilet Soap, for their daily beauty bath, too. Try this Hollywood beauty bath, and you'll see why. You'll find Lux Soap's creamy, active lather, soothing and gentle. And thorough, too. That rich caressing lather just floats away. Every trace of dust and dirt leaves you feeling exquisitely fresh from head to foot. And most important of all, you'll find, as screen stars do, that this beauty bath makes daintiness sure. Lovely Rita Hayworth says... A daily Lux Soap beauty bath protects daintiness. It leaves skin really fresh and sweet. Fragrant, too, with a delicate, clinging perfume. Why not take Hollywood's tip? Make this fine white soap with its flower-like fragrance. Your Daily Bath Soap. It's a luxury that any woman can afford. For Lux Toilet Soap costs but a few cents a cake. Buy at the economical three cakes at a time wave. It's thrifty. We pause now for station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. Barbara Stanwick as Jean Harrington. Ray Milland as Charles Pike. And Charles Coburn as Colonel Harrington. Jean is not the kind of girl to grieve over a blighted romance. But she still thinks occasionally of Charles Pike. It's two months later. And her father at the racetrack. Jean imagines that she sees Charles in the crowd. We grab down in each 700 on the last counter. Jean, I'm talking to you. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that was that Pike fellow over there. Let me see. What do you like in the next one? Pardon me, is this seat taken? Well, for the lover, we'll bless my soul, handsome Harry. William at the moment. William, of course. I'm enchanted to see you again. A new Jean as pretty as a bag of aces. Hello, Pearlie. Sir Alfred at the moment, my child. Sir Alfred MacLennan Keith at your service. How do you do, Sir Alfred? Well, you're certainly a sight for lame peepers. You know, I haven't seen anybody of our set since the boat stopped running. What's your pitch, Pearlie? I have a little nest on the edge of a town called Bridgefield. A town full of millionaires in the heart of the contract Bridgeville. Bridgefield, Connecticut? Precisely. Wonderful pickings. Tell me, do you know the Pikes? Do I know them? I positively swill in their rail. Good old Harris. Oh, what a card player. Do you know Charles the son? Is he the tall backward boy who's always toying with toads? Yes, I think I've seen him sculping about. He isn't backward. He's a scientist. Who is that? What it is? I knew he was peculiar. Pearlie, could I visit you sometime as your niece? As my niece? My dear girl, there's only one thing. You have to be English. Well, I've been English before. I shall be as English as necessary. Why don't you stop talking nonsense? Because I want to see that pike guy. I've got some unfinished business with him. Can I come, Pearlie? Of course, my dear. If you're thinking, get away with it. You can't, Jean. That snake charmer will spot you in a minute. No, he won't. He may suspect what he'll never know. Get me a name, Pearlie, but British. As a matter of fact, I've mentioned a niece. One Lady Eve Sidwich. Lady Eve Sidwich. Oh, I can see her in the pike's drawing room now. Old Bridgefield at her feet. Lady Eve Sidwich. Boy, will that ring the bell. Oh, Lady Eve, tell us some more. Well, when I arrived in New York, I wanted to find Uncle Alfred, of course, but I didn't know where he was. But was that he had said, Connecticut. Connecticut? Ah, good evening, sir Alfred. Oh, Horace, oh boy, I want you to meet my niece, Lady Eve Sidwich. How are you, Lady Sidwich? This is Mr. Pike, the Eve. Mr. Horace Pike, our host. How'd you do? My niece was telling a rather amusing incident, Horace. Well, go on, please. Thank you. Now, where was I? You didn't know where Connecticut was. Oh, yes, so I took the tube. The tube? A subway, oh boy. Yes, and to the official, I said, be so good as to let me off at Connecticut. So he said, Lady, I don't know. Son, Charlie, Charlie, come here. Yes, Father. Oh, Charlie, I want you to meet Lady Eve Sidwich. How'd you do? How'd you do, Lady? Oh. It's so nice to see you. Oh, but, but, oh. What's the matter, son? Who, me? Oh, uh... Is he ill? Charles, what's wrong? Nothing, I mean, well, I mean to say, haven't we met? But of course we have. Your father just introduced us. Aren't you feeling well, Charles? Oh, sure, but I mean... Oh, I'm so sorry. You meant, of course, hadn't you met me before someplace? Yes. Oh, very probably. Let me see, where could it have been? Uh, don't, then, I give up. It couldn't have been on the Southern Queen between here and South America, could it? Oh, I'm afraid not. You see, I've never been in South America. You've never been in South America? As a matter of fact, I've never been in North America until about three days ago. Oh, you haven't. Well, then, you weren't on the Southern Queen. Say, what's the matter with you? Oh, well, I'm sorry. Oh. Where are you in love with her? Yes, he was in love with her, but he doesn't remember what she looked like. Don't let them tease you. You can tell me all about her. Yeah. Dinner is served. Ah, dinner! May I take you in? Oh, ripping, thank you. This way, then. We, uh... Be careful! No, I... I just tripped over the sofa. Oh, look! You have hors d'oeuvres all over your shirt. Yes, I'll have to go up and change. Oh, yes, you are a little sticky. Now, look, son, you haven't been hitting the bottle lately, have you? Oh, of course, he hasn't. Anybody's after trip. Not over a sofa. That sofa's been there for 15 years. No one ever fell over it before. Oh, well, now the ice is broken. You go upstairs, Charles, take a bath, and I'll like you just as much as ever. Toodaloo. Salam. Excuse me. Thank you. Be careful! She did it again! Seems it's a farce in a respectable house. I didn't hate him so much, I would have felt sorry for him last night. Do you know why he didn't recognize me? Yeah, I think so. No, you don't. I hardly recognized him myself. He seemed shorter and boneier, because we don't love each other anymore. On the boat, I saw him as very tall and very handsome, and he probably thought I had big, melding eyes and a rosebud mouth and a figure like Miss Long Beach. And so you have for that matter. Well, now that you've got him, what are you going to do with him? Finish what I started. I'm going to dine with him, dance with him, swim with him, laugh at his joke, uh, canoodle with him, and then one day, about six weeks from now, he'll propose. But you won't accept. Ho-ho, yes. That's part of the plan. Gee! I know just how it will happen. We'll be out riding and we'll come to a view that will be so gorgeous, we'll have to get off our horses to admire it. I think that's when he'll kiss me. Look, Charles, isn't it lovely? Let's get off, shall we? Oh, right, hell. Here, let me help you. Thank you. Yes, Charles? Eve, I suppose you know what I'm thinking about. Ah-ha. I have an idea. The union of two people for life, that is, marriage, shouldn't be taken lightly. Oh, how wise you are, Charles. I think that if there's one time in your life to be careful to weigh every prone con, this is the time. Oh, yes, yes. You can't be too careful. That's right. Now, you might think that having known you such a short time. Oh, I feel I've known you always. That's the way I feel about you. Charles. Eve, darling, I don't need to tell you the doubts I've had, but I want you to marry me. Oh, Eve, you're so beautiful. You're so fine. You're so... So... Oh, I don't deserve you. Oh, but you do, Charles. If anybody ever deserves me, you do. Richly. Charles. Here's a telegram, Gerald. I have caught the Suckersapium, leaving for Miami on honeymoon tonight. I still despise him. Love, Gene. If she hates him, why did she marry him? To teach him a lesson or something? I don't know. Maybe she's gonna shoot the beggar. He's in his lap. Pretend I didn't. Are you sure you want to know? Who was it? This hadn't happened, but it has. And I want to thank you for being so frank. The name of Angus will never cross my lips again, and I hope that... Give me your situation. You're holding a royal flush. You got him right by the ears, Gene. About the trouble I've made. I thought I had a reason. Well, I just wanted to tell you this. I don't want any money. Gene. I don't want anything. He can have back his jewelry and anything else there is. My own daughter knifeing me in the back. There's only one thing I do want, Mr. Pike. I want to see him first, and I want him to ask me to be free. That's all. No money, no nothing, but there's something I want to say to him before we part. What? He's already gone? Gone where? Havana. Oh, I see. Thank you, Mr. Pike. Well, you certainly fixed it. Hurry, get your things packed. I refuse to go to Reno with you. Reno, we're going to Havana. I don't see him, my dear. Do you suppose he missed the boat? He didn't miss it. There he is at the bar. Well. Oh, yeah. Now he's turning away. He's coming over here. Do you suppose he's seen us? He will in a minute. Stick out your foot, my dear. Oh! Hello, my boy. Hey! Go to your cabin someplace, huh? Now, just a minute. Don't, Colonel. I'm delighted to see you again, too. We must play cards this trip. Lots and lots of cards. Come on, Gene. See, darling. Oh, why didn't you take me in your arms that day on the boat? Why did you let me go? Don't you know you're the only man I ever loved? Don't you know I waited all my life for you, your big mug? Will you forgive me, Gene? Well, what? Oh, you mean on the boat? Well, the question is, can you forgive me? What for? Oh, you still don't understand, do you? We'll have to have a long talk. I don't want to understand. I don't want to know. Whatever it is, keep it to yourself. All I know is I adore you.

But here come Barbara Stanwyck, Ray Merland and Charles Copern for a curtain call. Thank you, CB. It's grand being back again. You know, I was not a glad to see Ray getting that rough treatment tonight. There's a pal for you. What'd I ever do to you, CB? Well, I just thought that after you had spanked Paulette Goddard throwing her overboard and put her through a hurricane and reaped the wild wind, you had a little punishment coming from the fair sex. You win really seems to take a beating in all those DeMille pictures, Barbara. I should know, Charles. I went through it once. I never had a lady in my life until I worked for him, Barbara. Well, don't make it a habit, Ray. It isn't something women are sure to enjoy like, well, like luxe soap, for instance. I may have said this before, CB, but it'll stand repeating. I think luxe soap is wonderful for the complexion. I've used it for years. Like old friends, Barbara, luxe soap never fails. Whatever you got on the schedule for next Monday, CB, just about a thrill a minute, Charles, because our play is the Warner Brothers hit Man Power. And starring in it will be Edward G. Robinson, Marlena Dietrich, and George Raff. It's an action-packed drama of the courageous men who work on the power lines of a nation. A story of the man power behind the electric power and the woman power behind the man power. The high-tension cast is headed by Marlena Dietrich, George Raff, and Edward G. Robinson. That should mean standing room only, CB. I certainly won't miss it. And it's just about time for President Roosevelt, Vice President Wallace, and Secretary Wicard to speak now. So you better get a comfortable seat and get ready to hear them. Good night, everyone. Good night. Good night. Good night. Our sponsors, the makers of luxe pearl soap, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night. When the Luxe Radio Theatre presents George Raff, Edward G.
