 Lux presents Hollywood. Lux Radio Theatre brings you Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in To Have and Have Not. Ladies and gentlemen your producer Mr. William Keely. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. We've had many premieres on the Lux Radio Theatre and tonight on our 12th anniversary we bring you one of Hollywood's most fascinating couples together for the first time on the air. They are Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, co-starred in Warner Brothers' thrilling screenplay To Have and Have Not. To Have and Have Not is a story of intrigue and action with Lauren Bacall in the sultry and romantic role that won her instantaneous acclaim. To bring the Bogart family to rehearsals we had to lure them from their brand new mountain home where along with a dog, 14 chickens and eight ducks they are still in the process of getting settled. No phoneers yet, no tables and no drapes. But if you should drop in on a friendly visit of inspection as I did you'd find Lux Flakes doing their part in washing curtains, bedspreads, blankets etc etc etc. When I commented on this fact Bogart assured me that on his 54 foot yaw in Newport Harbor which is the Bogart's home away from home Lux Flakes are a standard part of the equipment making this family loyal to Lux Flakes on land and sea. It's curtain time and here's the first act of To Have and Have Not starting Humphrey Bogart as Harry Morgan and Lauren Bacall as Maddie Browning. In 1940 following the fall of France the rule of the new Vichy government stretched to a group of islands due east and south of the tip of Florida the French West Indies among them the island of Martinique. It's early evening at a little town on the Martinique coast a boat has just come into port. All right Eddie tie her up. That's what I'm doing Harry, tying her up good. Well Mr. Johnson, want to go out again in the morning? No I'm fed up with this kind of fishing. Yeah I can see how you would be you hook a couple of marlin that any good fisherman would give his life to tie in when you lose them both. Yeah Mr. Johnson, you're just unlike- Shut up Eddie. About my bill, 16 days plus the rod and reel you lost overboard. The fishing tackles your risk. Not when you lose it the way you did. I paid for the rent of it every day. Now look if you hired a car and ran it over a cliff you'd have to pay for it. Well that's entirely different. Not a few was in it. It's a good one, isn't it Harry? Yeah that's a good one Eddie. Now look I'm not trying to- I lost that gear through carelessness it cost me 275 bucks. And there's 16 days at 35 a day that's a total of 835 bucks. I'll go to the bank in the morning. I was figuring you'd pay me off tonight. I don't keep cash like that at the hotel. Okay. Well let's go up and have a drink. Why not? All right lock up Eddie. I mean I can't go with you. That's just what I mean. That drunken old fool. Hey look Mr. Johnson, Eddie's my worry scene. Now don't you worry about Eddie. Well are you coming or not? Yeah I'm coming. Well Monsieur, what luck today? Not so good Frenchie. Couple of bourbons straight. What are you doing behind the bar Frenchie? Oh a small hotel like this Harry the proprietor does a little of everything. So the fish would not bite eh? Maybe tomorrow you do better eh? Not me. I'm through. This is my last day. Oh that's too bad eh? Yeah. Well here's to you. I'm gonna wash up. Oh that bill was 800 and eh? 835 bucks. 835. Oh Johnson. Yeah? What time tomorrow morning? Oh after the bank opens around 1030. I'll be waiting. Harry, you are free after today? No more fishing parties? Why? There are some people who want to hire you both. No not a chance. They only want it for one night Harry. They pay well. Well I can't afford to get mixed up in politics. I would not speak it if I'm not involved. You better not speak at all. Company's coming. Company? Oh good evening mademoiselle. Anybody got a match? Oh yeah, here's a match. Thanks. Hey who's that? She came in on the afternoon plane. Oh well about my boat. I know what your sympathies are and it's all right for you. But I don't want any part of it. They are coming here tonight Harry to talk to you. Well then get word to them. They'd be wasting their time. Oh I am sorry. Yeah me too. I've been looking all over for you. What's doing Frenchie? Those men wanted to see you. I was unable to reach them. Well tell them when I get here. It is dangerous for them to come here at all. But to come here for nothing. Oh you don't even listen. Well I'm looking to my client Mr. Johnson. What's that Dame doing with Johnson? The one who was out of matches. Oh she's been with Johnson all evening. Her name is Browning, Marie Browning. Oh she's leaving. Yeah so am I. Some place? Just in my room if you don't mind. I don't mind but mine's much closer. It's right here. Say Mr. what's got into you? Come on let's have it. Have what? Johnson's wallet. I want that wallet Slim. I'd rather you wouldn't call me Slim. You see Steve I'm a little too skinny to take it kindly. I'll quit the baby talk and hand it over. I didn't know you were a hotel detective. Johnson's my client. He didn't speak so well of you. Well he's still my client. Here. That's more like it. Johnson owes me money. You know you ought to pick on somebody to steal from who doesn't owe me money. He dropped his wallet and I picked it up. And you were going to give it back to him. No. No I wasn't. I don't like him. Well that's a pretty good reason. Besides I need boat fare to get out of Martinique. That's another good reason. Well what's in it? Sixty bucks. A plane ticket. And fourteen hundred dollars in travelers checks. Did you expect more? That bird owed me eight hundred and thirty five bucks. And he said he'd have to go back to the bank tomorrow and all the time he's got a ticket and a plane leaving at daylight. Then I've done you a favor. That's right. I'm entitled to something. What do you think it's fair fifty-fifty? Well company. Please Harry I told him what you said but I insisted on... It is not Gerrard's fault Mr. Morgan. I am Joan Boclair. Come in boys and close the door. I told Gerrard I wasn't interested. Wait a minute this girl. I'd better go. Now stick around. It's alright to talk in front of you. Isn't it slim? Go ahead I don't mind. We'll give you twenty five hundred francs. We'd offer you more but we haven't got it. Sorry my boat's not available. I thought all Americans were friendly to our side Mr. Morgan. Well there's a rumor they put fellas on Devil's Island for doing what you're doing. I'm not that friendly to anybody. Who's that? Relax. In here ready? Hi Harry. See I want to talk to you about the... Hey who are these guys? I saw them hanging around the dock after you left. For one who drinks you have a good memory. Drinking don't bother my memory. For did I wouldn't drink. Forget how good it was. See was you ever bit by a dead bee? I have no memory of ever being bitten by any kind of bee. Were you Eddie? Was I? See you were all right. You know you gotta be careful of dead bees if you go around barefooted. Because if you step on them they sting you just as bad as if they's alive. I bet I've been bit a hundred times that way. Why don't you bite them back? That's what Harry always says. Would I even get no stingers? Please must we listen to this? All right Eddie. What do you want? Oh I guess I forgot Harry. Yeah well then I'll see you down to dock. Later on tonight. See Harry could you let me have a couple of drinks? Here. Thanks. You're all right Harry. Well sir so long. Now look Bo Clare. I don't care who runs Branson, Martinique or who wants to run it. You'll have to get somebody else's boat. You're leaving? Yeah. Make yourselves at home. Good night gentlemen. Sorry Bo Clare but I got a client waiting downstairs. Come on Slim. I want to see Johnson's face when you hand him back his wallet. He is still sitting at the same table. Hey where have you been? I've been looking all over for you. You're a fine one Morgan running off with my girl. She's got something she wants to give you Mr. Johnson. Go ahead Slim hand it over. That's my wallet. Yeah. Where'd you get this? I stole it. Stole it. And just what are you going to do about it? The question is what are you going to do about it? Maybe you'd better look it over. Oh it's all right I'm sure. Oh you better be sure the plane ticket's still there. Goodbye Mr. Morgan. You're not staying now? No we're not staying. Excuse the interruption Mr. Johnson. Now look I was going to pay you all. Sure you were going to sign some of those travelers checks weren't you? I wouldn't skip out on you. Yeah well here's a pen start signing. 835. That's right 835. What's that? What's going on there? Look see those men are adjusting your own. They're after us. Pipe down baby and duck quick. Harry he's dead. Mr. Johnson is dead. No that's right Frenchie stray bullet. He couldn't ride any faster than he could duck. How do you feel Slim? Oh I'm fine Steve just fine. Not a minute and those travelers checks would have been good. Has it struck you it might be an idea to get out of here? Oh it is no use the police are coming back. They were after your friends huh Bo Claire? Yes. You Gerard stay where you are. Remember you know nothing. Hey there they're not regular cops. No sir ten nationals. You're Staple huh? Yes yes quiet not quiet. What happened to this man on the floor? A stray bullet Mr. His name is Johnson an American. Unfortunate. Take him away. Your attention everyone. There is no cause for alarm. Inspector Reinhard is only interested in those persons who have violated regulations. Mr. Gerard. Yes. Quarters for questioning. And you. It's not nice to point Lieutenant. The name's Morgan. Shut up. You mademoiselle. Hey Steve would you have a bit by a deadbeat? You will come with us. At once. No I told you nothing new. Bo Claire and the others escaped. I don't know. Yes yes later. Now then you were saying Mr. Morgan you did not know those men. That's right Inspector. What was your connection with the dead man? Mr. Johnson. He charted my boat. But he was leaving after nick in the morning. His wallet here. There is no money in it. Only travelers checks. There was some money in it. Sixty bucks I took it. Why? Because he owed me over eight hundred. You will surrender it please. Oh wait a minute. And your passport. I do not be concerned. If your claim is just it will be returned. That is all at the moment. Mademoiselle. Yes. Mary Browning American age twenty two. How long have you been in the city? I arrived by plane this afternoon. Residence? Hotel Marquis. Where did you come from? Trinidad. Alone? Yes. Why did you get off here? To buy a new hat. Why? To buy a new hat. Read the label maybe you'll believe me then. I never doubted you. It is your turn that is objectionable. I will ask you again. Because I didn't have money enough to go further. Where were you when the shooting occurred? I was in... You don't have to answer that stuff. Shut up you. Don't answer. I told you to shut up. Go ahead slap me. Monsieur Morgan. We wish merely to get to the bottom of this affair. Well you'll never do it by slapping people around. It's bad luck. We shall see. If we need to question you further you will be at the hotel? Well you've got my dough and my passport. I'm stuck. By the way what are your sympathies? Mining my own business. May I suggest... I don't need any advice about continuing to do it either. Let's go Slim. How do you feel? I'm breathing fresh air again but I don't understand all this. What's it about Steve? Well you see that character I know it works for Vichy. You know what that is. Yeah something you're putting a drink isn't it? Yeah that's close enough. Well the other fellas the ones they were shooting at in the hotel they're free French most of the people on the island are but they haven't been able to do much about it. You know I could use a drink. Another cafe across the street let's... Uh oh. I forgot. No dough those guys clean me out remember? Maybe I can do something about that. Another Mr. Johnson maybe. Oh any objections? Well if you're that thirsty go ahead. You don't mind? I'll wait out here. If I get tired I'll be back at the hotel. You're not sore are you? Oh why should I be? I won't be long. You've been waiting for me very long did you? No. You're sore aren't you? Why should I be sore? Well I didn't behave very well did I? Did all right I see you got a bottle. There was a naval officer. I asked for a bottle and he gave it to me. Just like that? Yeah he was feeling good but you're not. Now look I don't give a... I know I know you don't give a hope what I do but when I do it you get sore. After all you told me to you know. I told you. Well you said go ahead didn't you? Yeah that's right I guess I did. Would you rather I wouldn't do things like that? Oh I ask me. I'd like to know. Call of all the screwy. I won't do it anymore. Now look I didn't... I know you didn't. Don't worry I know what I'm doing. Yeah well as long as you do sit down. How long have you been away from home? This is about the time for it isn't it? The story of my life. I got a pretty fair idea already. Who told you? You did. That slap you took from Reynard. You hardly blinked an eye. It takes practice to be able to do that. The next time I get slapped I'll be sure to do something about it. Hey you forgot your bottle. I don't want it. Who's sore now? I am. It's me. The door's unlocked. Here's your bottle. I said I didn't want it. You are sore aren't you? I asked you a question you didn't answer me. I said you're sore aren't you? Look I'm tired I'd like to get some sleep. What's made you so mad? I've been mad ever since I met you. Most people are. One look and you made up your mind just what you wanted to think about me. Now go ahead keep going. You don't know me at all Steve. It doesn't work Steve. I brought that bottle up here to make you feel cheap. And that didn't work either. Instead I'm the one who feels cheap and I... I've never felt that way before. I wanted to... Well I thought that... Get out of here will you before I make a complete fool of myself. How long have you been away from home Slim? None of... Home about six months. Going back? How? What are you going to do here? I don't know. Get a job maybe. Jobs are hard to get. Hmm nice perfume. Remind you of somebody Steve? No this is the brand new one to me. Would you go back if you could? I'd walk if it weren't for all that water. Good night Steve. Good night and quit worrying. You'll get back all right. Could I see you for a minute? What the... Oh all right. Open the door. Here's that bottle again. Yeah that bottle is getting to be quite a problem isn't it? Well you want a drink? No. I thought you were so tired. I am. But you gave me something to think about. You said you might be able to help me. That's right. You're going to take that job with those men Frenchie brought up here. Yeah I can find what's left of them but don't get the idea I'd take that job just to help you. I need money too. Wait a minute. Here can you use this? Oh now that's great. She carries a dough in her shoe. And I thought you said you were broke. Oh you're awful good slim. I'd walk home if it weren't for all that water. Who was the girl Steve? Who was what girl? The one who left you was such a high opinion of women. You think I lied to you about this money don't you? Well there's $32 here. Not enough for boat fare or any other kind of fare. But you can have it if you want it. I'm sorry. I still say you're awful good and I wouldn't... I know you wouldn't take anything from anyone. You know Steve, you're not very hard to figure. Only at times. Most of the time I know exactly what you're going to say. The other times, the other times you're just a stinker. What'd you kiss me for? I've been wondering whether I'd like it. What's the decision? I don't know yet. You know now? Well that was better. You're sure you won't change your mind about the money. The money belongs to me and so to my lips. I don't see any difference. Oh I do. Okay. You know you don't have to act with me Steve. You don't have to say anything and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle don't you Steve? You just put your lips together and blow. You just put your lips together and... Stars Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall will return with act two of to have and have not in just a moment. Where have you been today Libby? Sure and I've been drinking Camblic tea with a sweet and gracious little lady. Oh someone with an Irish brogue. A temporary brogue. Margaret O'Brien had to learn it for her part in Metro Golden Mayor's Three Wise Fools. So she loves to practice it. Margaret never lacks for admirers. Everyone she works with adores her. It's no wonder she's so convincing in Three Wise Fools when she wraps the three old bachelors around her finger. Lionel Barrymore, Louis Stone and Edward Arnold enjoyed it thoroughly. Margaret takes a keen interest in the other actors doesn't she? Oh yes. I don't know whether she was more intrigued by a troupe of midgets who masquerade as fairies or by lovely Sid Cherish the famous ballerina. Margaret dances in her next picture so Sid taught her some ballet steps between scenes in MGM's Three Wise Fools. Sounds like quite a stocking risk for Sid. Oh no. Her stockings hardly ever get runs. She told Margaret the fairies helped her. The fairies in a box of lux flakes? You guessed it. Having a box of lux is just like having a troupe of fairy godmothers to help you. That's right. Lux helps stockings last twice as long so you get the wear of an extra pair from everyone you buy. That's just like having a fairy godmother present you with an extra pair. You're sure that's no fairy tale? Quite. We've scientific tests to back it up. Thousands of stockings were washed with lux flakes. The same number with a strong soap. Then strain tests were made to see how soon they'd go into runs. The lux stockings lasted twice as long. Rayon, nylon, silk and cotton all showed similar results. That's like finding extra stockings in every box of lux. Remember, those lux flakes are precious. Don't waste them. Here's your producer, William Keely. Act two of To Have and Have Not starting Humphrey Bogart as Harry Morgan and Lauren Bacall as Marie. Since escaping the Vigie police, Jean Bloclair of the French Underground has been hiding out on the outskirts of town, a bullet wound in his leg. It's early morning now and Bloclair has two visitors. Gerard, the hotel proprietor and Harry Morgan. Last night, Mr. Morgan, you definitely refused to have anything to do with us. Why have you changed your mind? I need the money. Last night, I didn't. What's the job? You will take your boat to Angela. About three kilometers from the point. It's a coven little jetty. You know it then? Yeah. You will go at night. When you're off the jetty, flash a light. It will be answered. There will be two people to take a board. I know the name of only one, Paul de Bersac. How about landing them back here? Oh, not here. You know Cape Saint-Pierre, Harry? Uh-huh. I will have a rowboat and we'll meet you there offshore. Okay, I'll leave around noon with luck and no patrol boats. I'll be back at St. Pierre a little after midnight. Well, I won't be carrying lights, Frenchie, so keep your eyes open. If it weren't for this leg of mine, I'm glad you're on our side, Morgan. Oh, not. I'm getting paid. Oh, uh, and I'd like my money now. There, that envelope. Thanks. How is the leg? Please, I'd feel better if you were on your way. All right, good luck. You need the luck now. You and de Bersac. Oh, that girl, Morgan, the one you call sleep... She's leaving Martinique on the afternoon plane. We can both forget about her. Good morning, Steve. Have some breakfast? I had mine two hours ago. What have you been doing? Arranging so you could get on the afternoon plane. Can you make it? Sure. Frenchie here will see you get the ticket. Gladly, if you wish. You took that job, didn't you? Yeah. I figured this way you wouldn't get your feet wet. You want me to go, Steve? Yes. I want you to go. Okay. Help her get on that plane. Would you, Frenchie? I will. Well, I've got to get down to the dock. I probably won't see you again. If I ever do get up your way... Yes, do that. I'll leave my address with Frenchie. Yeah. Maybe I'll know how to whistle by then. So long, Mr. Morgan. Well, it was nice while it lasted. Perhaps it is better this way, Miss Browning. A strange man. Very strange. Yeah. Eddie. Put on the gun, Harry. It's just me. Well, how'd you get aboard? I thought I told you... I stayed down at the dock while you was working on the engines. If I thought you could swim, I'd dump you overboard. You're an old joker, Harry. You and me is going to stick together when there's trouble. How do you know there's trouble? You can't fool me. See, where are we going? Eddie, what would you do if somebody took a shot at you? Took a shot at me with a gun? Who's going to shoot at me? I'm going to be lucky, nobody. Harry, where are we going? I'll tell you when the time comes. Oh, put on a sweater, it's getting cold. See, what's going on? That's all the darn guns for two rifles. In case we run into a shock or something. What do you mean, or something? We're going on a job. Can you shoot one of those things? Anybody knows how to handle a rifle. All you got to do is work the lever and pull a trigger. What do I got to work a gun for? I just wanted if you could. Sometimes you act so stupid, Harry. Sometimes. Is it going to be that bad? It all depends. That's why you didn't want to carry me. You was afraid I'd get hurt. You was thinking of me. What are you laughing at? I was just wondering whether you're going to hold together or not. I'm a good man, Harry. You know I am. Yeah, well, we're going to pick up a couple of guys. Eddie, now take this gun and get apt. If there's any trouble, start shooting. But don't shoot me. Yeah, but supposing something happens to you, what do I do then? How do I know? You invited yourself on this trip. We'll make an agile in about 30 minutes. I'm standing on the jetty. I see them come out of the shadows. Turn off that flashlight. Yes, Monsieur. All right, get aboard. There's a strong tide here. We are coming. Who are you, please? The booklayer sent me. My name's Morgan. It's all right, Helen. Quickly now. Now, wait a minute. The booklayer didn't say anything about a woman. Don't meet me, Captain. This is my wife. How do you do? What do you want to bring her? Well, it's your funeral. All right, Eddie, let's get out of here. What happened to the booklayer, Captain? Well, he ran into a little trouble. Monsieur Morgan, who are you? I own this boat. Booklayer hired me to pick you up. You're on our side? No. I don't understand. I don't understand what kind of a war you guys was fighting. Look at your wives around with you. You're being paid for this. That's what I said. Then I suggest you stop talking and get us to Martinique. That's just where we're going, sister. I keep pretty soon, Harry. You want me to store the rifles? I said you want my sister. Shut up. There you go again. I asked your father. Turn them off. Huh? Turn them off. Do you hear anything? Do you hear anything? No. Listen. There's a ship out there. A patrol boat. Take the wheel, Eddie. Why did you shut off your engine? Keep quiet. What is it? It is a patrol boat. It ain't it. Give me that gun. You can't fight them, guys. Oh, what's the matter, Eddie? This is where you ought to be telling me how good you are. If I can do it, what do you want me to do? What does this mean, Monsieur Morgan? You and your wife get down on the deck and stay there. You'll try to resist them with a rifle? They've got a searchlight. They see us. If you like, you save France. I'm going to save my boat. And I! And I owe me a fire! Harry, get their searchlight. Shoot it out. I can try anyway. You got it, Harry. Hey, you want me to shoot through? Stay on that wheel full speed, Eddie. All she's got, hurry. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. Save your breath, mister. They'll run us down. They'll sink us. Yeah, they might. That's a chance we'll have to take. Get down, doctor. Oh, boy! You should have laid down. He's down now. Do something. Please do something. I am, lady. I'm getting this out of here. Get in on the cape, Harry. Yeah, yeah. Take over for a while and watch for Frenchies' boats. Well, how's your husband? Please, help me get him on the seat. Now, we'll leave him where he is. It's just his arm. Besides, I don't want him bleeding all over my cushion. Can you be so heartless? That's something I ask myself at least once a day. I will be picking up Gerard any minute. He'll take care of both of you. Where will he take us? I don't know. There he is, Harry. Okay. Slow down and watch the drift. Can't I get a drink now? Just one? Sorry, Eddie. I need one worse than you do. What are you going to say? It's the idea, Slim. What happened to that plane? I missed it. Why? Didn't you like the accommodation? I just decided to stay. Oh, now, look, I've been to a lot of trouble to get you out of here. That's why I didn't go. Not so, are you? Well, it'd be all right if I had any dough. I've got a refund on the ticket here. Oh, that's going to help a lot. I'll be all right, Steve. I've got a job. Frenchie seems to think I can sing. Well, it's his place. Sometimes you make me so mad. Harry, you could watch. Harry, I need your help. The Bursakis is badly wounded. The bullet hit the gun first and it's practically spent. All you've got to do is get somebody to take it out. We don't dare call a doctor. You could. Me? I'm hotting any doctor right now. Don't you think they recognize my boat? All I've got to do is walk out of here. You don't have to go out of here. The Bursakis is the seller. Oh, why didn't you put him in a go? Fish ball in the lobby. We had to do something. They're watching every road out of town. How slim. You see what you've got yourself into? Sticking around here? I'm ready to leave any time you want. Oh, Harry. Not a chance. Harry, my wife tells me your bill is overdue. 6,356 francs. Oh. You will be glad to dismiss the bill if you will do this for us. You'll, uh... you'll throw her the bill. Slim's? Yes. Hers too. Uh-huh. Okay. You'll find a medical kit inside. Slim, bring it down to seller. Sure. And bring some boiling water too. You're not to touch my husband. That's all right with me. Oh, Harry, please. She's not herself. Look, lady. They can't get a doctor without giving the whole show away. I won't let you do it. He's not badly hurt. He's unconscious because he's... Oh. Come in, Slim. Hello. Miss Browning, this is Madame de Boussac. Who are you? Nobody. Just another volunteer. What'll I do with this water, Steve? I'll drop these instruments in it. You better get out of here, Mrs. de Boussac. I mean, I'd like this. I'll be all right. Then hold this can of chloroform if he comes too while I'm probing pour some on this cotton and give him a whip. Uh, don't open it until I tell you to. His arm. Look at it. Oh, fine. Fine. She's out. Like a light. Madame. Madame. Let her alone, Frenchie. Slim, any chloroform left? Some. Enough, maybe. All right. Fan those fumes away or we'll all be out. Hey, hey, wait a minute, not towards her. Well, keep your fingers crossed, Frenchie. Uh, here. Here. Bandages? You and Frenchie can do that. Adhesive tape in the box. I'm afraid the patient's going to recover. Well, I better get Mercy up off the floor. She may catch cold. Ooh, she's all right. Just fainted. I've got her. What are you trying to do? Guess her weight. Oh, she's half to you than you think. Maybe you'd better just look after her husband. He's not going to run out on me. Neither is she. When you're finished, go upstairs and get some sleep and thanks for your help. I'd rather stay here. You heard me. Oh, for the lover. Now what did I do? You know, Harry, before I told Miss Browning, you are a very strange man. Now I tell you, she is a very strange girl. Yeah. Huh, funny. That is what she said. Yeah. How do you feel now? Very stupid. I'm not in the habit of fainting. Well, your husband's OK. I just put him to sleep again with a pill. I'll stay here with him. Tell me, why did you tag along on a trip like this? Why don't you be with him? Well, that's no reason. I was also told to come. They said no man was much good if he left someone behind for the Nazis to find and hold. Well, that makes sense. I told them I'd be no good, but I was afraid. I've made Paul that way, too. Now he's afraid. Well, he didn't invent it. Invent what? Being afraid. Thank you, Mr. Morgan. Mr. Morgan, I... You're not going to faint again, are you? No. I'm just having a hard time trying to say something. Oh, I won't bite you. I'm sorry for the way I behaved. You're just sorry you made a fool of yourself. Don't make me angry when you say that. I don't think I'll ever be angry again with anything you say. Another screwy dame. Now, how can you... Hello. I hate to break this up, but I thought you'd want something to eat. Thank you. How's the patient, Doctor, or haven't you looked lately? He'll be all right. I hope you have everything you need here, Mr. Bursak. The eggs may be a little hard boiled. Oh, they're fine. I like them that way. You're lucky, isn't she? Well, I'm going up and get some sleep. If you need me, tell Gerard. Here, Steve, do you mind? Oh, suit yourself. Thanks. For what? I'd like a match. Here. No, I need a cigarette. I'll help yourself. Thank you. Steve, aren't you hungry? Nope. Let me help you take your shoes off. Look, I'll take my own shoes off. All I want to do is get some sleep. Then I'll fix you a nice hot bath. You'll sleep better. Look, Junior, I'm not hungry. I'll take my own shoes off, and I don't want a nice hot bath. You mean there's nothing I can do? Uh-huh. You can get out. You know, Mr. Morgan, you don't make me angry when you say that. I don't think I'll ever be angry again at anything you say. Oh, my doing, Steve. Does it work a second time? Look, you want to do something for me, don't you? Yes. Okay, then try this. Walk around me. Hmm? No, go ahead. Walk around me. I don't get it. You find anything? No. No, Steve. There are no strings tied to you. Not yet. What do you mean, not yet? Come here. I like that. Except, uh, except for the beard. Why don't you shave, Steve, and we'll try it again sometime. Harry. Harry. Yeah, Frenchy? He's here. Inspector, you'd better come right down. Oh, no, not now, Frenchy. I gotta shave. Harry, he's got your man. He's got Eddie. He's got... Eddie? Yes, he's giving whiskey. He's asking questions. Well, I'll be right down, then. Oh, Slim, I've got no strings. Only a rope right around my neck. We pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. Act three of To Have and Have Not, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in a moment. Being discovered by a talent scout doesn't usually mean immediate stardom. Months of training in diction and acting may precede a starlet's introduction to the public. Our guest tonight, lovely Miss Cary McCord, is training at Fox right now, and it looks as though big things were in store for her. Do you spend much time on the sets, Cary? Yes, indeed, Mr. Keely. When I first signed Fox with just finishing Daryl Afzanik's The Razor's Edge, and I watched Gene Tierney every chance I could. An excellent way to learn technique. Well, I liked her own powers, too. Well, they were both perfect casting for Somerset Marn's novel. I'd love to be in a picture that called for a stunning wardrobe like Gene's. You're naturally interested in clothes. Oh, yes. I used to be a model. Fashion shows especially. Well, Gene Tierney was also a model. Well, that's encouraging. We're likened to something else, too. What's that? Our clothes get the same kind of care. Naturally. I found out from the wardrobe mistress that the beautiful blouses and sweaters Gene wears in The Razor's Edge were washed regularly with luxe. I've used luxe for my own nice things for years. You'll find luxe is the favorite of Hollywood Studios, Cary, because it takes such good care of colors and nice fabrics. Well, that's been my experience, Mr. Kennedy. Actual tests support that, too. Carefully supervised washing tests were made by a famous laboratory on dozens of different fabrics and colors. Case after case, those washed the luxe way were still lovely, when those washed the wrong way were faded and drab. In fact, the luxe when it stayed color-fresh and new-looking up to three times as long. With the high cost of clothes these days, keeping them attractive longer is important to any girl. And that's one of the reasons luxe is worth waiting for if you can't get it the first time you try. Just keep asking for it. More is on the way. Here's Mr. Keely at the microphone. After the play, we'll bring our stars back to their customary curtain call. Here they are in Act 3 of To Have and Have Not, Humphrey Bogart as Harry Morgan, Lauren Bacall as Marie. It's a few moments later. In a corner of the hotel bar, Harry Morgan finds Inspector Renard and Sergeant Coy of the secret police. Seated between them is Eddie. We are buying your friend a drink, Captain Morgan. We find Mr. Eddie very entertaining when he drinks. You hear that, Harry? He called me Mr. What were you boys talking about? I was telling him about the big marlin you and me hooked onto last night. Oh, yeah? That fish was so big it me and Harry could hardly budge him. Yeah, that's right. Must have weighed a thousand pounds. Every time he takes a drink, the fish grows larger. Judging from what's left in this bottle, he must have started with a macro. And how did you finally manage to land such a great fish? Didn't Eddie tell you? We didn't land him. He went into a German submarine. A German submarine? Well, whatever it was that opened fire on us, I didn't stick around to find out. I do not think anybody could give him a more logical explanation for refusing to obey the challenge of our patrol boat. Patrol boat? Oh, so that's what it was. Now Eddie kept saying it was a patrol boat, but I wouldn't believe him. Now we get down to business, eh, Morgan? What about your passengers last night? What passengers? The ones you bought over from Angela. Would five hundred dollars refresh your memory? Oh, my memory's pretty good. For instance, I can remember you're the guy who lifted my passport and all my cash. And if your passport, the money will return. Including the 835 Johnson owed me? Why not? Now where are they? Your passengers? Well, if these people are as important as you seem to think they are, they're going to be pretty hard for me to find. For a man of your resourcefulness? Not too difficult. Think it over. Let me know, Morgan. Come along, Coyote. Goodbye, Mr. Reddy. See me again when you get thirsty. Them guys don't think that I'm wise, do they, Harry? They was trying to get me drunk. They don't know me, do they? Wait, what happened? What did they want? The Berserk. I heard you're arranging a deal. I now think you will turn them in, eh? Well, that's what you want them to think, isn't it? What will happen? Bernard hasn't searched this hotel yet, has he? No, not yet. Well, here's your answer. Bernard doesn't want just to besack and his wifey wants the whole setup. And what shall we do? No, it's not we. It's you. And you can't do anything until the besack is strong enough to move. And how about some breakfast? Sure, sure. I thought you didn't want any breakfast. Oh, how are you, Slim? I asked you before if you were hungry. Sit down. You know, Harry, them guys, well, you don't know? No, I ain't got no idea. Well, that's a good way to leave it. Say, you got the hiccups. Have I, Harry? Oh, yeah! Don't you think you'd better take a drink of water? Water! I'm getting out of here. And don't you worry none about me, Harry. Yeah, well, you stay away from the police. You know, they're not going to believe that story you told them a second time. What story was that, Harry? I forgot. Well, just, uh, just beat it and keep out of sight. Sure, Harry, sure. Well, I'm starting work tonight, Steve. You're a singer now, huh? I'd be interested to know what you think. Uh, will you be there? I don't know, maybe. You decided to drop in, huh? Yeah. I do my song in a few minutes, like my dress. Well, you won't have to sing much in that outfit. You know, Steve, sometimes you make me so mad. That's why I do it. You haven't seen Eddie, have you? Not since noon, why? Well, he left the boat and he hasn't come back. Anything wrong? Plenty. They don't look now, but the guy with the door have been following me. Keep an eye on him, will you? I'll be down the cellar. Give Mrs. Tabersack my love. I'd give her my own if she had that dress on. How's your patient? That's what I'm going to find out. Harry, you see? There has been no bleeding all afternoon. I am very grateful, Mr. Believe Me. Don't worry about it anymore, Tabersack. Frenchie, I'm pulling out. When? Soon as I can find Eddie. Missing? Yeah. You wouldn't go without him? No, I don't think Eddie likes that. Now look, Frenchie. Soon as I'm gone, Renard's going to turn this place upside down. You better start figuring how and where you're going to move our patient here. It would be best if my wife and I went with you. You're going to take care of Vilmar. Vilmar? Yeah. Hey, he was quite a guy. Vichy got him, didn't he? Didn't he? He's dead, isn't he? No, Monsieur, he's not dead. He's on Devil's Island. They sent me here to get him. He's a man whom an oppressed people will be leaving and follow. And just how are you going to get him off Devil's Island? You don't think much of me, do you, Monsieur Morgan? You're right. I am not a brave man. How are you doing, Vilmar? We will find a way. If it fails, if I die, someone else will try again. There always will be someone else. Yeah. Originally, we planned to do everything from here, but now, because of my clumsiness, it is impossible. That's the reason we have to go with you. They've got the docks covered. They're all over the place. How will you go? They're watching me to find you. As long as I haven't got you long, I can get on my boat. There'll be a fog tonight. Before I start my engines, I'll have trouble enough without you. No, Morgan is right, Gerard. This is not his fight yet. Oh, Gerard told me of your refusing Renard's offer. How do you know I won't take it? There are many things a man will do, Monsieur. But betrayal for a price is not in your makeup. Well, good luck. I hope you find your friend. Thanks. I'll be around, Frenchie. I'll be by your side. I'll be by your side. Any sign of Eddie? No, your friend's still at the door. Yeah, so I see. I've got to hunch the whole thing's going to blow up and soon. Any plans, Steve? A few. We're going to pull out of here tonight. We? Yeah, as soon as I can find Eddie and don't look so happy about it. It'll be rough. I'm broke. If we do get out, it'll be with a couple of hundred gallons of gas and a pair of prints, maybe. I've never been there. I don't know when you'll get back home. It could be a long time. It could be forever. Or is that what you're afraid of? I'm hard to get, Steve. All you have to do is ask me. How long will it take you to... Oh, no. Break it up with being watched. I'd better give out with another song anyway. I'll see you later on. Yeah, later on. I'll see you, Madame de Burset. Now, look, Frenchie, that's all over. I just took her to your room. You what? Please, Harry, she has to talk to you. Okay. Tell Slimmum and I'll come to think of it. Don't tell her anything. Here, it's too much of a chance. I had to see you. It's about this jewelry. I'd like you to take these. They're all Paul and I have left. Save them until we can come for them. What if they get me before I get out? And let it be a part payment for all you've done for us. Miss Browning, I keep barging in, don't I? Renard just came in, Steve. He's on his way up. Do you see her? I don't think so. All right, get in the other room, both of you. Go on, hurry. I suppose he... And keep quiet. As soon as I get rid of Renard, take her back down to cellar. Okay, Steve. Are you looking for me, Renard? Do you mind if we come in? Not at all, and any friends of yours... carry guns. And what's on your mind, Renard? The whereabouts of Monsieur Madame de Berset. How would I know? Well, I thought perhaps you... perfume. Very nice. You like it, huh? Yes. So do I. All right, Slim, come on out. Good evening. Mademoiselle, well, now we are all here. Except your friend, Mr. Eddie. You've got Eddie? What are you going to do with him? If you will not give us the information we want, perhaps he will. We made a mistake this morning of giving him liquor. This time we will withhold it. Oh, he couldn't stand that. He'd crack wide open. All of which you could prevent. Yeah. Yeah, I could. Um... You got a cigarette, Slim? Here. Thanks. Can't you make Eddie talk, Renard? When necessary. Uh, you got a match, Slim? Sorry, I... Uh, there's some over in that drawer. You could save your friend a great deal of, uh... shall we say, discomfort? I don't see any matches, Steve. Well, there's a whole box of them. Uh, never mind. I'll get them. Uh, how much money did you offer me, Renard? 835 and 500, wasn't it? Except now I don't believe I will pay any. Yeah. Now, you're probably right. Eddie will talk. He'll have to talk. There's nothing else I can do but... But what? But this. Look out! He's got the gun! Sorry, Renard. Coyo shouldn't have shot first. When somebody shoots at you, you gotta shoot back. All right, Slim? Yes, Steve. You know, I'd forgotten all about the gun in the drawer. Thanks. Listen to me, Morgan. I've listened to you long enough. Now get him up. You forget we still have that drunk. So you were gonna drive Eddie nuts, and you're going down. That's right. Go for your gun, Renard. Your boy in the floor needs company. No, Harry, don't, don't. Get the gun, Frenchie. Yes, Harry, yes. Now get over that couch, Renard, both of you. Don't bother me, Frenchie. I'm getting mad. All right, Madame du Besac, come on out. Uh, let me introduce you, fellas. This is Madame du Besac. The other one's down the cellar, her husband. Take her down, Frenchie. Get some help. We're going off as soon as we get Eddie out. And just how do you think you will get him out? Shut up. And to telephone the hall, Renard, you're gonna tell someone to let Eddie out. Oh, yes, you are. One of you. Because you're both gonna take a beating until someone gets on that phone. That means one of you is gonna take a beating for nothing. I don't care which one it is. But I'd like to start with you, Renard. Where? Where is the phone? I'll show it here just as soon as you tie up your partner here. Yes, you hear me? I said you'll release him immediately. Tell him you'll explain later. I will explain it later. Do nothing until you hear from me. Then I'll take the responsibility. Goodbye. Thanks, Renard. Now back to my room. You've got some harbor passes to fill out. Everything is ready, Harry. We'll take them down to the wharf here. These passes will get them through the guards. Where will you take them, Harry? I'm going to the old island. What? Just a short stop to pick up your friend Vilma. He's still there, isn't he? Oh, Harry, do not joke. That's what you wanted, wasn't it? Oh, Harry, you should tell me that you're going to have a party for Marble. That's all right. Just don't kiss me. Oh, no, Harry. Why are you doing this, Harry? I don't know. Maybe because I like you and maybe because I don't like them. You'll have to take care of those guys. Renard and his pal are in my room. We will give you plenty of time. If you let them go, they'll come back here and burn this place down. It will be a very small fire. When Vilma comes back, we will start a bigger fire. Okay. I'll see you at the boat, Frenchy. See, how's everything been going, Harry? Everything is all right now. You look glad to see me. You know a funny thing. Yeah, I know. We're not at the police station. We're shoving off, Eddie. Ready, Slim? Already. They're down in your cabin. Hey, what is this? She going with us? Yeah, it looks like it. She and those people we picked up. But, Harry, you mean... I don't know what she got to... Who are you? Was you ever bit by a dead bee? Was you? Yeah. You know you've got to be careful of dead bees. They can sting you just as bad as live ones, especially if they were kind of mad when they got killed. I feel like I was talking to myself. I bet I've been bit a hundred times that way. Why don't you bite them back? I would only. I haven't got a stinger. No, I remember you. You're all right. She can come, Harry. It's okay with me. Thanks. I'll have the two of you to take care of Luna. That's right, Eddie. Throw off that line. Sure, Harry. All clear. Well, here we go, Slim. Yes, here we go. You don't have to act with me. That's what you said, remember? You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Oh, maybe just whistle. No, I've been practicing. Lesson. You're feeling happy, Slim. What do you think? Our stars will return to their curtain calls in a moment. Grandmother is sitting quietly in the living room. That is, until young Jane bursts in. Mother! Your mother's out, Jane. What is it? Oh, hello, Grandma. Look what I just bought. A duck in your slip. You mean to say your mother allows you to wear things like that? Oh, why not? What's the matter with it? Silk and lace. Why, in my day... It isn't silk, Grandma. It's rayon. And I've looked all over town for a blue like this. We wore sensible clothes when I was young. Oh, but, Grandma, pretty undies make you feel so wonderful. Sheer extravagance. Not really, Grandma. I've got lots like this, and they wear and wear. You see, I use locks. You take care of your own things. Well, I should say so. On my clothes allowance, I can't afford to have them wear out fast. With luxe care, they look simply swell. Sensible, Jane. Luxe care really does keep pretty undies lovely longer. Up to three times as long, in fact, color tests show. I've seen identical slips. One washed the wrong way with the wrong kind of soap, and one washed the right way, the luxe way. You'd be amazed at the difference after 30 washings. One was faded and drab. The luxe ones were still lovely looking. So, if you value your pretty things, luxe them after every wearing. If you don't find luxe flakes at your dealers, try again soon. More is on the way to him. Luxe flakes are worth waiting for. We return you now to William Keely. Back for a well-deserved curtain call, come the stars of To Have and Have Not, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Lauren, all our heartiest congratulations on your first appearance on the air. I'm sure there'll be many more. Thank you, Bill. See, that wasn't so bad now, was it? What if you do make a slip on the air? There's only 30 million people out there ready to jump down your throat. You know Lauren. Just a minute, Bill, the name she answers to is Betty. You only call her Lauren when you're sore at her. Okay, Bogie. As I said earlier, Betty, we've had many premieres in this theater. But tonight, I'd like to bring our audience a world premiere. Something never before heard on the air. But I'm not sure Bogie would approve. But think, Bogie, 30 million people waiting breathlessly to hear it. Yeah, but think of me. My nerves. Every time I hear it, I jump. Yeah, but in spite of personal sacrifice, the audience must come first. Now, how about it, Betty? Oh, shall I, Bogie? Okay, honey. Thank you, Bogie. Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time on the air, you're about to hear an instrument made famous by tonight's play. Immortalized by the line, Whenever you want me, whistle. It's Betty Bacall blowing the special whistle which he carries for that special purpose. Ready, Betty? Ready, Bill. Blow. You can see how you'd find that whistle irresistible. Incidentally, Betty, I notice you don't use it in your current Warner Brothers picture, The Big Sleep. Well, she doesn't need it. She has me hooked right from the beginning of that picture. Well, both of you do a splendid job in bringing Raymond Chandler's mystery to the screen. Thanks, Bill. What do you have coming up on Lux next week? Next Monday night, we bring our audience a household full of humor, drama, and romance. It's Paramount's recent screen success, Miss Susie Slagals, starring Joan Caulfield, William Holden, and Billy DeWolf. One of the newest and brightest stars of Hollywood, Miss Caulfield plays her original screen role as does Billy DeWolf in his poignant story of a group of students in pursuit of fame and happiness and love. Oh, that ought to make a great hit with your audience, Bill. Good night. Good night. Good night, and many thanks to both of you. Our sponsor, the makers of Lux Flakes, joined me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday evening, when the Lux Radio Theater brings you William Holden, Joan Caulfield, and Billy DeWolf in Miss Susie Slagals. This is William Keely saying good night to you from Hollywood. Suppose you had to do without a month's supply of soap. That could happen if used fats aren't turned in by the housewives of America. Scores of major industries need oils in Greece, yet there's a shortage of oils all over the world. So if they're going to keep going, they must boost their supplies with used fats or cut into the supply of fine soap-making oils. And that would mean less soap for you. So don't throw a single drop of used fat down the drain. Your dealer will give you four cents for every pound. Heard in our cast tonight were Tim Graham as Eddie, George Sorrell as Gerard, and Jack Crushan as Inspector Renard. Our music was directed by Louis Silvers. This is your announcer, John Milton Kennedy, reminding you to tune in again next Monday night to hear Miss Susie Slagals with Joan Caulfield, William Holden, and Billy DeWolf, broadcasting system.
