 Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Spencer Tracy and Ingrid Bergman in a man's castle. Ladies and gentlemen your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. It's a rare week when I'm not asked by some trusting soul to reveal the secret of stardom in a nutshell. I'm always very flattered because that's a question nobody's been able to answer yet. The best I can do is to say that every truly great star possesses at least one of two great qualities, power and authority. Then I tell them to go and watch Spencer Tracy because he possesses both. Of course two other helpful star qualities are beauty and glamour. Unfortunately I can't credit either of these to Spence but whatever he lacks in this department is made up tonight by his co-star from the David O. Sells Nick Studio, the greatly gifted actress Ingrid Bergman. Not long ago I saw these two together on the screen and the power of their scenes convinced me then and there that the next time Spencer Tracy was on this stage Ingrid Bergman should be his leading lady. So here they are together again in a play that gave Spence one of his best picture roles, a man's castle adapted from the Columbia picture. This is a story of two young people from the world passed by. It's a simple story. They're not great and famous people they they don't want to be. They're the kind of people who don't give up when the breaks go against them. And their love story is the kind that makes great emotional drama. It's a play that I'm sure will bring a thrill to every member of our audience and a cast that's a reward we really owe to the millions of men and women for the support they've given our product Lux toilet soap. I said men as well as women because we've been getting a number of letters which which make the same point as this one from a lady in Louisiana. She writes Dear Mr. DeMille you always speak of your product being used by the ladies. Well don't forget men like it too. Recently my husband and I took a trip to the military maneuvers to see our son who is a corporal in the medical regiment. The boys were stationed 20 miles out in the woods. When it came time for dinner one of the boys got a basin and a pail of water so we could wash our hands. And to our surprise this soldier also brought out a new cake of your Lux toilet soap. So you see Uncle Sam's boys like Lux soap too. Thank you madam we do see and we're very proud of that compliment. Our stars are at the microphone now the cast is on stage and the curtain goes up on the first act of a man's castle starring Spencer Tracy at Bill and Ingrid Bergman as Trina with Arthur Holers Bragg and Edgar Barrier as Ira. It's a few years ago June 1933 to be exact prosperity is just around the corner and a park bench in New York City is a young man a sartorial sensation in evening clothes complete with tails in vinescape opera hat and cane with grand nonchalance this modern bow brummel is tossing popcorn to the pigeons. He steals an occasional glance at the other end of the bench toward a girl who sits there shabbily dressed but defiantly neat. The girl is acting very strangely as she watches the pigeons eating the popcorn there's a desperate almost hysterical look in her eye. The man in evening clothes studies her for a while then speaks quietly. It's a matter. Come on Spillard I've been watching you talk to yourself ever since you sat down. You look like you were rehearsing something what is it. Please. I'm sorry. Come back here what's the rush. Let me go let me go. I'll do what. I'll get down on my hands and knees for some of that popcorn. Hey what is this. I thought I was on to all the panhandling routines. Are you the little girl reporter working on a sob story. Please let me go. Wait a minute are you really hungry. Come on talk up are you hungry. I haven't eaten in two days. Two days why not. I haven't any money. Neither of the pigeons but they eat in regular. Yes it must be wonderful to be a pigeon. There's always somebody throwing crones to them. You had the brains of a pigeon you wouldn't be hungry. Come on let's go eat. Eat. You mean it. I said it tonight come on. But where are you taking me. Well the Ritz roof is open. Oh the Ritz room. No I didn't ask for anything like that. I can't go there in these clothes. Shut up clothes got nothing to do with eating. You want anything else. No thanks. No this is plenty. You know for a pint size like you can certainly put it away all right. You're hungry all right. Do you think I fell for your line of hooey you're crazy. Nobody ever has to starve in a town like this. Why not. Because you don't. There's food all over the joint. Oh yes but you have to get near it to eat it. Are you ever out of work for all year. Sure. I've been out of work all my life. The unemployment problem never bothered me any. Yes that's all right for you. Because you're rich. Are you aware your tails and your top hat need stakes of foot thick. You got what it takes. Sure I got what it takes. I'll prove it to you. Hey waiter. Come here. Yes sir. Call the manager tell him I want to see him. Why sir is there anything wrong sir. No no everything swell I just want to see the manager that's all. Yes sir. You know you shouldn't ever order skip meals. That was the best food I ever ate. I feel better now. Yeah you look better. You know if you filled out a little you get by in a crowd at that. You can't you can't help the way you're made. Why can't you. Good evening sir. What can I do for you. Hello are you the manager. Yes and do you want to see me. Yes sit down. Yes. Well sir you know Mr. there's supposed to be 12 million people in this country without work did you know that. Well yes but yeah and a lot of them are starving so they tell me now you take this young lady here for instance up to an hour ago she hadn't eaten for two days so I brought her in here and fixed her up she feels swell now says it's the best food she ever at well I'm glad to hear that. Thank you. Yeah the only trouble is she ain't got a cent and neither of us. Oh what's that. You mean you can't pay for this. That's the idea so the feeds on you brother. Now you know there's a lot of ways of handling a case like this. You can call a cop and have the pair of us thrown in the can out just a minute we're sent to the island where we're fed by the state for 30 days at least the more bums the state has to feed the more taxes you people have to pay. This is your idea of a joke. Wait a minute. This is one of the joints that throws out and left left over a grub and a week to feed a thousand people you can afford one on the house once in a while. Am I right or wrong. I'll tell you what I'll do with you. I'll put it right up your own customers here I'll ask them whether it's right for you to let somebody die of hunger right outside your dump. If they say I'm wrong I'll admit it. Ladies and gentlemen according to the newspapers there's a lot of hungry people in this town. No shut up go on get out of here get out. Okay the case is dismissed. Come on who's it's there's nothing like a good walk after dinner thanks for the feed brother get out. You shouldn't have done that we might have been arrested don't be a dope. What do you live I might as well take you home. That would be all right if I had a home. What's the matter with you haven't you got anything. No what do you figure and spend the night. I don't know if you got a grip no I'll get one somewhere then go to a hotel and register state early hands your bill then tell me a broke then what happens and they throw you out and you go to another hotel. I couldn't do that why not I'd be afraid do you live in hotels that way I got no use for hotels. Tell me what do you do for a living I live. Yes but I mean you must do something those close evening close yeah don't let them fool you. Here look at the front of my shirt what do you see why just just the front of your shirt. Yeah now watch. Oh now what do you see what lights up your whole chest lights up sure you see what it says or can't you read either Cavalier barbershop 16 chairs no waiting. You're not the tiresman yeah sure that's it a walk and add two bucks a night for this all you got to do is stroll up and down flash the light on and off. Oh it's this is this your regular job. Now I don't believe in regular jobs I'm only doing this for a friend of mine I subform on his night off. Well I suppose I'll have to get you a place to sleep tonight.

Yeah yeah bagged Bill and the Hudson built right smack on the city dump how do you like it. Wonderful. I've been in New York all year and I never knew there was such a place. Yeah that's one of the best things about it the privacy. Of course it's just a lot of shacks you know but it's the only way to live no rent no taxes running water a whole river of it and the whole dump is lousy with southern exposure. That's what I like best them train whistles to remind you of other places you hear them all night. Don't you love the sound of it. Well it's a no night it's a scary gang way get out of my way here I come that's what it says like a long distance call which one of these shacks do you live in. I don't I don't mostly I sleep in the open when it rains I take my choice there are my pals here I can bunk with any one of them they must be very nice people the best you know it's funny when people got nothing they act like human beings we get along fine here it's just like one big happy family get away from me I tell you don't bother me or I'll smack you with what's that it's a guy named brag you don't get along so well with his girlfriend come back here let go you don't you stay right where you are because you hear what I say big girl I'll bring you can't you time me I'll kill you first. Hey Bragg why don't you let Flossie alone. Why don't you mind your own business. Let her alone I'll come over there and help her clean up the place with you. Shut up. What. That's better. I was going to ask Flossie to put you up for the night but maybe that ain't so hot. I could sleep in the open I guess. No no no that takes training. I got it. Bear left this shack right over here. Who lives here. A friend of mine. His name is Iro. Hello Iro what's the good word. And seeing the multitudes he went up into the mountain and his disciples came on to him and he taught them saying blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. That's the good word. Hello William. It looks like that Gideon Bible I swiped out of a hotel last week. Bibles can't be stolen. The good word is free. I only wish I could get you to read it William. I did I did I skimmed through it one night. There's some very good reading in it. There's one place especially the songs of Solomon. Great stuff. Who's it's meet Ira. Ira used to be a minister. Now he's a night watchman. Not used to William. I am a minister. If I choose to live down here I have a reason. Yeah sure sure. Anyway this is who's it's how do you do. Very nicely thank you. Yeah nicely. Only she ain't got a place to sleep. I thought maybe after you checked out she could camp here for the night. Of course. Welcome. When you go to work. 11 30. Okay she'll check in about 12. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Nuts. Come on. Where are we going now. What do you care. You want to see where I sleep. Yeah where you see that barge over there. Right there. The reason I like to sleep on that barge is because there's no roof on it. It must be wonderful with the water rocking you like a cradle. Oh look at those ships there with the sales. They look so peaceful and contented. They've been laying there for years right away with barnacles. That's what you get when you're anchored. And just the same. It's restful restful. Yeah. So the graveyard. Bill what you're a funny guy Bill. Yeah why I don't know what you do when you're not walking around with your chest lit up. Lots of things or maybe nothing at all. Sometimes I walk the stilts stilts up on Broadway. Oh I know what you mean. A way up in the air. All those long wooden legs with a sign on your back. Yeah that's it. It's fun. I wouldn't do it if it wasn't. I like being up there looking over the heads of the crowds. Hey you're a pretty nosy name. I don't mean to be forget it. Bill I want to thank you. You've been so good to me. I got your free feeder. That's what you mean. I guess you need somebody to look after you. Maybe. Maybe you need somebody to look after you to bill me. Oh I don't mean like that but well who cooks for you. Washes your clothes and things like that. Nobody I do it myself. But wouldn't it be better if you had somebody. Listen Hoosens don't go getting any funny ideas. I don't like being tied down see. I live alone because that's the way I like to live. I sleep in the open because that's how I like to sleep. I say what I want and I do what I want and that's the way I'm going to do things always see. But I wouldn't tie you down Bill. How could I. Sure how could you. I'm like the wind. You can't grab air. Can you. Or can you. And the Holy Spirit ever won God world without end. Amen. Those whom God had joined together. Let no man put a Sunday.

One of these days maybe we'll get me a washing machine but I isn't so important just yet. The main thing is to stove Bill's going to get me a real soul for a joint like this. What's the matter with the one you got. You can only make stew on it. I could cook Bill some wonderful things if I had a real soul he's going to get me one too soon as it gets the money. Whoever heard of a spindle stiff getting money. Now what's a spindle stiff. A whole bowl can't stay put except maybe in jail. Bill can make all the money he wants if he wants to. It's got personality bill has his different he was different would he keep you here in a dump like this. What's the matter with your floss. How can you say things like that. This isn't a dump. Not to me it isn't. It's it's like is why I can't find the word you know them them things they got in the middle of the streets where people can stay till traffic say what you call them safety zones. Yes that's it safety zones. That's how I feel about this place. It's like a clearing in the forest quiet and safe peaceful. That's the only thing I don't like those train whistles. Yes I know why you don't like them getting scared aren't you always wondering if that man of yours will be on one of them trained some day. No no it's good to me gives me everything I want.

fine actresses in good that much of a compliment from Spencer Tracy is something to remember Ingrid yes I won't forget a word of it but Spencer may be sorry he went overboard like that overboard come

spends we have a comedy that breaks the speed limit on laughs it's the doctor takes a wife adapted from the Columbia picture and our stars will be Melvin Douglas and Virginia Bruce it's the story of a doctor who marries an author a lady who's written a bestseller glorifying the state of spinster hood I'm sure you'll see the possibilities of that situation with two accomplished players like Melvin
