 Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Wallace Beery and Marjorie Rambo in the bugle sounds with Noah Beery. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. Any history of motion pictures is bound to include a chapter entitled Wallace Beery. The average star has a screen life of only a few years. Wally faced his first camera in 1913. I directed him in a picture of myself almost 25 years ago and how many players of those days are still top stars. Wally's life has been a quest of adventure from the time he left home to join the circus as an elephant trainer until more recent days when he found excitement in the skies piloting his own plane. And you can always find adventure in one of Wally's pictures like the Metro Golden Mayor hit the bugle sounds or like the present one he's working on over there salute to the Marines. With Wally tonight we present that very accomplished actress of both stage and screen, Miss Marjorie Rambo and also Wally's brother Noah Beery. In the bugle sound you'll hear Wally as a cavalry sergeant, an old-timer out of place in a day of tanks and radios. In every enterprise it takes the old timers and the newcomers to make the wheels go round especially in Hollywood where every year brings a new crop of young players to the front. What amazes me is that each crop of starlets seems more beautiful than the last but perhaps perhaps Lux Toilet so there's something to do with that. Imagine for a moment that you're in a darkened projection room watching a screen test with a group of producers and directors. A young girl is playing the scene that may decide her entire career. At some time during the test comes the crucial close-up. That's when a beautiful complexion speaks more powerfully than words and that's when Lux Toilet soap plays a little dramatic triumph of its own right there on the motion picture screen. Now the bugle sounds for the opening curtain of the first act. Tarring Wallace Beery as Sergeant Hapdone and Marjorie Rambo as Susie with Noah Beery as Colonel Lotton. There are truck transports and tanks. Clear the road and let them through. Clear the road there. Clear the road. You lose. As in modern life the automobile has replaced the horse so in modern warfare the armored tank is replacing the cavalry but there are still strong units of cavalry dashing bands of hard-riding men charging as always to the call of the bugles. One of these men an old timer from another war rides now at the head of his detachment. Sergeant Dome returning to camp after maneuvers in the winter in the summer so they say when they ask her why the decoration you wore it for her lover who's fur fur away. How'd you like to maneuver Sergeant Dome. Well if you want my personal opinion we'd have looked a lot better if those Mike and I's gadgets hadn't been under foot. Of course I ain't got no influence in this army. You don't think your tracks is here to stay Sergeant. Don't ask me. You can never tell what them generals are going to dream up. Machine guns on kiddie cars. Pits like an infantry. Field artillery dropping in parachutes. If they get the enemy as mixed up as they've got me. This army ought to win the war and a breeze. Here they come again Sergeant. More tanks. Yeah. Get your mountain hand men. Here comes another one of them that new hook and ladder outfits. Put the road. Now listen men pull up no wisecratch. These boys are still American soldiers. Hey you on the tank. What's the matter could they get you guys on a ride a horse. What comes out of those cans. You know cantony I'm going to buy you a pair of blinkers. Them them peanut vended machines is way beneath your dignity. No betting ready. Sergeant stable Dylan what are you doing giving a little sorry. Half this sergeant Lane. He's from headquarters true. Well I don't care if he's an adjutant general those horses got to be watered. Hey Sergeant there's a wash house room and at the beginning the next week this camp's going to start getting up to 20% of them selective service boys. Graftees are your kid. Yeah. I see me orders myself. Yeah. Gonna have your hands full of half imagine working in all them new jobs. Yeah well not me. I'm going to find out about it myself. Yeah who are you going to find out from. I'll go and ask the colonel that's what I'll do. Recruits drafted recruits. Me caught in the draft. Carry on you men. Rep cantony down first I got a crisis on my hand. Come in don't. Thank you sir. Thanks for seeing me right away sir. Oh you heard about the draft he's done. Is that what you've come about. It's on the level sir. That's right. They'll be here Monday. Anything else don't. Yes sir. I got a reporter general physical breakdown coming on sir. You see colonel. My stomach's gone back on me. Well Sergeant from where I said it looks exactly the other way around. Sergeant don't in the last 29 years you wangled more furloughs than any other two men in the army. And I've heard it rumored that you've been brought back to the post on the shutter. Well somebody must have put something in my beer. I just had one so healthy. No you sergeant these new selectees must be whipped into shape. Well the regimental commander misjudges me sir. It ain't only my stomach but I got a fourth cousin down there in El Paso Texas. Now don't tell me that he's dead again. This is a sixth time. What is this coming of you're the man or a cat. Yes yes. No well no sir. You see he left a little a little bitty girl in my charge and she passed away so. No no sergeant I'm sorry but I'm afraid the national emergency must take precedence over your personal bereavement. Yes sir. But who am I to tell that to a lot of drafted boys. We saw plenty of drafted men in 1918. There were no complaints then. No sir the drafted men was just as good as any regulars. That's the point exactly sergeant. Well sir. Well. I guess if that's the way the colonel in the army feels about it why it's orders. Why we'll take them selectees and we'll make horsemen out of them in no time. Thank you sergeant. But it isn't going to be necessary to make horsemen out of these new men sir in the future this regiment will be known as a 19th armored regiment armored. My can eyes. Thanks. Me thanks I thought I spoke plainly mechanized down to the last steel boat. Oh. What about our horses. Well we keep a few mounts for a while. Sir. First sergeant don't apply for a transfer to a cavalry outfit now see here don't with any year you're going to be eligible for retirement you don't want to go to private you don't want to sacrifice your first sergeant's rating that you've earned literally through sweat and blood I've always been a cavalry man sir for your own good and for the good of the service your request is disapproved that's all sergeant. Oh yes. Oh don't. You like a weekend pass. Thank you sir. Might help a little. I wouldn't want that nobody else would tell you about this but me. Colonel look me square in the eye and tells me that the service ain't got the more real use for you and me. Why I served under him since it was a shave pale fresh out of the Academy I reenlisted all of these times just on account of a pension I was even to die in the army. Now I'll retire next year they won't get me back for any more active service either I'll tell you that I guess start one of my old wounds I can up again. Let them ruin their old army in their own way when I go out why I'm going to buy you up with me to. How about that. Take it easy soldier you get it. Part of it where's that ham and a.

open and shut case against the top man the small fry arrests only tip off our hand you make this outfit we're up against sound pretty big big they're operating right across the country general sabotage incorporated everything from arts into demolition and no particular prejudice about murder on the side we're led to believe that they've moved their headquarters out into this general

both know how much he thought of that whole yes is he that's true but you've been around the army long enough to realize we can't allow our personal feelings to interfere with things Colonel I know you got your duty and your brass to keep polish but if you just try to remember all the years that he's put in given on as faithful service to the USA now it can't be that all of his campaigns don't count for something and his purple heart you know for wounds oh Colonel Colonel you won't mind me bringing it up I guess you still remember how he got one of them it was your first service for both of you it was your first one that was a sergeant even then trying to look out for a new you new lieutenant who'd been hit Susie I suppose that you'll have to bust him now for a private for what he'd done

thought sir the top one ain't showed up yet but a couple of times i've felt his eyes right in the middle of my back that's the man that's the one you've got to stay in there until you meet him yeah we'll throw the old cavalry brand into him sir there's one thing we can work on they've got an idea that this outfit is getting a whole new bunch of tanks they think that we're shipping the old ones to some port and they want to know which one i thought if i could give them that information make them think that it was true why they'd trust me just like they'd trust their mother hmm that's a matter kind of three days ago i received a secret message from washington with precisely the information you've just given me and i'll hard it to find that out evidently your friends get the information very close to the sword this is going to be a big responsibility maybe it's worth the risk here this is the copy the order plans and data shipment and full details maybe you can use it as

opinion of his friends or his personal reputation as a soldier and he has managed at the end of a long and useful career to crowd in one more act of crowning achievement and he's also made room in his
