 Let's present Hollywood! Here's a blessed portrait, though. Bingo! The Luck Radio Theatre. Darling Lorena Young and Hugh Marlowe in Come to the Stable. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Healy. Reading from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen, this is the season of the year that brings new life, new hope, and a rebirth of faith. Spring is in the air. Ladies are shopping for Easter bonnets. And there is a joy, well, in just being alive. In the spirit of this season, we want to bring you a beautiful story that will bear many retellings. Its 20th-century foxes come to the stable. And repeating her inspiring performance in this modern drama of unwavering faith, is lovely Lorena Young and recreating his original role as a talented actor Hugh Marlowe. And now, before our curtain goes up, I want you to hear of an important discovery about Lux Toilet soap that is wonderful news for your complexion. Tonight, I want to make you a promise. A promise you can improve your complexion. Make it smoother, firmer, fresher, clearer, with daily Lux soap care. And here's the discovery that proves this promise. Lux soap care has skimtonic action. Remember that phrase, skimtonic action. It means that Lux care stimulates your inner skin. Now, you probably always thought of your skin from the outside. Tonight, think of your skin from the inside, because real improvement begins on the inside. Scientific tests show the more you stimulate your inner skin, the lovelier your outer skin looks. And that's just what Lux skimtonic action care does for you, for any normal skin. It means your complexion will look smoother, firmer, clearer, even younger. You can easily prove this for yourself. Try Lux. Start your daily Lux care tomorrow. You'll see that with skimtonic action, just one take of Lux can make your complexion definitely smoother, definitely fresher. Now, here's come to the stable, starring Loretta Young as sister Margaret and Hugh Marlowe as Bob Mason. The late winter afternoon, the New England countryside. Against the whiteness of the snow, are two small figures who pause now at a crossroad. Hey, sister Margaret, what is it soon? Jordan, Galilee, NASA, Bethlehem, Bethlehem. Oh, God is good. Oh, yes. And look, sister, the stable. But most of it over there. The stable. I think we reached our journey then. Perfectly charming. Oh, do come in. Thank you. And how do you do it? You are missing me the part to paint the beautiful religious picture. Oh, thank you. Yes, I am. Well, this is sister Scholastica and I'm sister Margaret. Are you sure we're not intruding? No, no. Keep it down. Oh, thank you. But how did you get here? We walked. We walked? I don't know from this station in this snow. He sent it now sitting for our pilgrimage. To your pilgrimage? Yes. To the stable. Oh, I see. And tell me, sister, you're from some order in the city? No, no, we're from France. We're the owner of Holy Endeavour. Our ship came into the Arborette down. We were on go to see the Statue of Liberty. That's fine. But no, you don't have to explain people. No, no, I was born in Chicago. But I went to school in France and took my vows there. And now we're going back to Chicago for the visit. Oh, no, no, Miss Hoffman. We come here to build a hospital. What? In Bethlehem? Yes. Yes, you see, during the war, sister and I worked in the children's hospital. It, uh, stood on a hilltop and in the path of an advancing American armored division. The Nazis were using it for an observation post and, well, it was inevitable that the hospital would have to become a target. I see. So I made a promise to God that if he would help me get through to the American General and the hospital would be spared, that I would one day come back to my own country and build just that hospital for her sick children. Goodness! Did you get through? Oh, yes. Yes, we got through. Three days later, when the attack was over, the hospital still stood. Well, you see, Miss Potts, God kept his end of the bargain, and now I'm going to try to keep mine. And since the Scholastic is promised to help me, then let me select our little community for your hospital where you know that was a hand of Providence. We have postcard with a reproduction of your painting come to the stable. And on the back of it, it tells all about Miss Aminia Potts, the lady who lived in Bethlehem and who painted religious pictures. Oh, I'm very flattered that someone sent it to you. And the bishop, he's working with you, of course. Well, we haven't seen the bishop yet, but 69 came to call upon him tomorrow at Sam's point. Then, uh, you will stay to stop. Oh, thank you. And then I think you're the train. Oh, yes, yes, there is. It leaves for Sam's point tomorrow morning at 8.15. Tomorrow morning? Oh, dear Miss Potts, don't let us inconvenience you. We can speak anywhere. But I only have a tiny spare book. It's new. Oh, yes, it will be nicely. Oh, just a little bit. What? Oh, this is now small. Oh, what a lovely painting. Oh, yes. Just a few, lady. Oh, just a little bit. Just across the way. Just across the way. Oh, sister. So you're gonna hit? No. In the morning, sister, when it's light. I guess. When it is light. Done. Mademoiselle? To that beautiful hill. To that beautiful hill? And this is a very spot, sister. We're buried with him. Yes, sister. He and the snow. The medal of Saint-V. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen. Dear Saint Jude, with the help of our Lord and his dear children, we will build your hospital. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen. Arson! Arson! Come back here, Arson! Mademoiselle! Come back here! Come back here! Mademoiselle! Mademoiselle! Mademoiselle! Mademoiselle! Mademoiselle! I'm terribly sorry. All right, Arson. All right, boy. Down, down, down, down. Easy, boy. Take it easy. Very not. He's, uh... a great gong, isn't he? Yes, but he's just a pop-up. Oh, I see. Why do you call him Arson? It's a criminal name to such a lovely dog. Well, you see, he was raised in the firehouse here in Bethlehem. Oh? Oh, he's still something of a fire dog. Oh. You should see him when he hears a bell clanging. Oh, there. My name's Mason, Bob Mason. Are you, uh, visiting here? Oh, at the moment, yes. We're guests of this pop. Oh, Amelia. How nice. I'm her landlord. She runs the stable from me. Oh. Then you must own this property, Mr. Mason. Is this the store I'm in? Oh, no. That's my place over there. Beyond that orchard. Oh, what a pity. Yes, it gives us shame. Why? Yes, I suppose it is. But, uh... Well, I don't want to sound like a game-warden. But why are there two ladies of your gentle persuasion admiring the scenery at five o'clock in the morning? Oh, we always get up early, Mr. Mason. It's our custom. Well, it's bedtime for me. I do some of my best work after midnight. Oh? I write music, popular stuff, mostly. Jive, jazz, swing, that sort of thing. Ah! Is that it? Yeah, that's right, sister. Well, Mr. Mason, I... I've always thought that music of that type so well, so tense, so new, this... would be written in, well, big cities. Well, almost a bit, I guess, but... I like peace and quiet, so I live out here. My educated friends tell me they have something to do with the man's feeling of insecurity. Oh, Mr. Mason. God's the only answer to man's insecurity. Yes. Yes, I suppose so. Ah, tell me. Who dies on this hill, do you know? Well, a man by the name of Luigi Rossi. Oh, do you know him? No, sister, I should say I don't. Well, I don't suppose I'll be seeing you again, but the best of luck. Come on, Arson. Ah, thank you very much. Good night. Good night, Mr. Mason. Um, Luigi Rossi, he says. He looks frisky. We must see the bishop. He's also coercent. Let us hope he can see us today, sister. We have come all the way from France to build a hospital. That's, uh, quite a project, sister. Oh, I knew it seemed so, your Excellency, but we are prepared to go about our task in a most business-like way. Uh, and with a job to know that we have cut down our central to only two items. Well, that sounds very practical. What are the two items? Land and money. Oh. Just land and money. Yes, yes. And we've already seen the land, Your Excellency. It belongs to Mr. Luigi Rossi. Uh, Mr. Rossi and I are sincere in our belief that Mr. Rossi might donate the land to us. Luigi Rossi. The name is familiar. But, uh, even if you get the land, what about financial support? What have you got? We have given the session a far read. Yes, but what have you got? Well, nothing yet, Your Excellency, but, uh, we've all just arrived. Well, your courage is beyond criticism, sisters, but, uh, I can be of no financial help to you at all. It's heartbreaking to have to say this, but I, I just can't give you my approval. Even if you could get Mr. Rossi to donate the land, please, Your Excellency, if you'll give us a little time just to try. Well, if I were to grant you a month, have you money for living expenses? Oh, clearly. What can I do? And if I told you before, we're going with Mr. Rossi, and I knew that he's very stupid. Still, his parts may welcome a few extra groceries. I think the diocese can help to the extent of, say, uh, $50. Oh, thank you, Your Excellency. And now, just as soon as we can, we'll see Mr. Rossi... Luigi Rossi. Now I remember. Sisters, this man Rossi. Well, he is... Mr. Rossi? Nothing. I wish you success, sisters, and God bless you. I just wanted somebody to meet me here. Oh, no. Got a party to go on? Oh, no, just in a hot place. That's quite a hike through the snow. Hey, wait a second. See Anthony? Yes, sir. Hey, can you give two ladies a lift? Yes, sir. You don't mind riding on top of the snow? Eh, you know, sisters, he works for Mr. Mason. Get right in, ladies. Oh, pardon me. I mean, sisters. Sister, look. A jeep. Yes, ma'am. And I've got kind of load here. Yes? Yes, I see you have. You know what? Perhaps you'd better sit on the back, Anthony, and sort of hold the boxes to cure, and then Sister can ride up in front with me. But who's going to ride? Oh, I will. What? Who's going to ride the jeep if you ask me like I asked all about the jeep? Yes. Are you all right? Yes, ma'am. I think so. Good. Then let's go. Stop for a care of it, girl. Would you mind telling me what sort of sister you are? Why, certainly. We're the Order of Holy Endeavour. Oh, not always, ma'am. I'm sure. You're permitting this guy. Isn't that nice? Yes, ma'am. But we can stay a month. Ah, are you going to stay here? Oh, dear Miss Tops, we hope you would invite him. Oh, thank you. You're very welcome. I'll go. Thank you. And now our next guest is to say Mr. Rossi about the land. But they shouldn't have forgiven me right now. Let me think, sir, girl. He gave us 60 dollars. 60? Yes. We're going to share it with you. And with the help of our Lord, perhaps Mr. Rossi will donate the property to us. Then, ma'am, do we need you, Rossi? Yes. Do you know where he lives, Miss Tops? In New York, somewhere. New York? Well, then we'll have to ask Mr. Mason to loan us a jeep. Ah, yes. We'll ask him very early in the morning before he goes to sleep. Yes, ma'am, Miss Tops. But I have to find people like you. We will have our husband in yet. The mother. All right. All right. Keep your shirt on. But it isn't six o'clock yet. We thought we caught you when you finished your work and were relaxing. I was relaxing all right. Well, what can I do for you? Oh, we're so sorry. We understood you to say that you worked your night. Well, I do, usually, but I... Miss Tops. Yes? May we buy your jeep for the day? Well, yes. Yes, I suppose so. It's in the garage. Oh, I get it for you, but I'm not dressed now. Oh, no, thank you, Miss Tops. We can manage. Our Lord will bless you, Miss Tops. Glad to help you out. Good night, sisters. Good morning. Either the jeep or... Oh, yes, the key. Yeah. Well, Anthony went to the town last night. Well, I'll see if I can find it for you. Oh, you'd better come in. Oh, no, thank you. We'll wait here. Oh, okay. Oh, you've lied to a young man, isn't he? Oh, yes. Perhaps you would like to make a donation? Oh, thank you. Now, this is not the propitious time. No? No. Oh. Well, I found the key. Thank you very much. And good to have beside you gotten you out of bed again. Well, that's quite all right now. You're sure there's nothing else? No, nothing else. Thank you. And if you need any gas, fill up in the village. You can charge it to me. Oh. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning, sisters. What can I do for you? Oh, feel dreadful, sir. I'm about to start a new organization, but... Well, good morning, sisters. Good morning, Anthony. Morning, boss. You up already? Yes. Hello, sir. How are you, Anthony? Oh, sorry, boss. We're the best kind of things. Pay no attention to the slower, earlier states. They ain't coming. Yeah, well, remind me to write a song about it. You're about to ask, sisters. Oh, yes. Do you know where we can find Mr. Rossi? The telephone company says he doesn't have a phone listed. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't know. Oh, well, we look for him in New York. You want to find Mr. Rossi, sister? We'll get that in a few minutes. Any solution? Oh, thank you, Anthony. And thank you again, Mr. Lace. I hope you have a pleasant day. Thanks, I shall. A long one. Oh, would you know where Mr. Rossi is? Of course I know. One of the biggest gamblers and bookmakers in New York. Oh, I didn't know that. Sorry, Anthony. That's something you'll have to find out for themselves. Oh, dear Mr. Rossi. Don't you know better than to bother me with things like that? Tell that thin Dominic to get out and start making a collection. So what about them from you? Well, you gave him the money, didn't you? To the long money. And where's my hundred bucks? All the way, baby. Took the money, but then... They did, huh? I'll show you how to get rid of him. Yeah, it works. Oh, you, Mr. Rossi. Yeah, that's right. Now listen, sister's a... Well, Sam, what are you standing around for? Get Santa Anita. Santa Anita? What are you talking about? I heard my name. Oh, forgive us, Mr. Rossi, but... You mentioned there's Santa Anita and sister said she couldn't recall a saint by that name. Well, I'm not interested if there is a list. All I know is there's a racetrack name. Oh, but there is a Santa Anita, Mr. Rossi. That's Spanish for Saint Anne. Oh. But it allows to introduce ourselves. I'm Sister Margaret, and this is Sister Scholastica. I'm poised to meet you, but... I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm poised to meet you, but I'm busy saying I haven't got... Oh, I'm sorry, of course. Then we'll get straight to the point. Mr. Rossi, you only do have a piece of property near Bethlehem. What? We've come to you because we... we are most desirous of acquiring that property for a children's hospital. I'm sorry, but it's not for sale. Well, but it's not for sale. Perhaps you would consider... Look, yeah, say, sisters, this setup I got is too good to last forever, and when things get too hot a year... Well, that is... When I figure it's time to retire, I'm going to build me a place out there, you see? Hideout, see? It's strictly early Americans. The old Warthi estate, you know? Oh, well, I see. Well, it's only natural that you should want security. Yeah, that's it, sister. Security. Yes. Well, thank you for seeing us. It was most kind of you, and for your generous contribution. Ah, it's okay, sister. It's okay. Good luck telling you, anyway. Oh, God's been very good to us. I bought that for me two days ago, and already we've made such good friends. Both? Yes, yes, in France. Been how long? Oh, yes, many years. All through the war? Yeah. But don't know to fight them? I mean, when the GIs landed? Yeah. Any ways, no low winds? Yes, quite often. Look, I know it's a long shot, but... I wonder if, by any chance, you're having a run across that Corpo Walsy, Luigi Walsy Jr. That's my kid. That's what he wants. Oh, look, look, hello. Now, I'm sorry. I wish we could do what we had, but there's so many of you, you know? Yeah, yeah. Well, so on, sisters. Goodbye, Mr. Walsy. Mr. Walsy. Your son did come back, didn't he? No. I'm so sorry for you. I don't even know where they buried him. He was one of them, unidentified ones. Now, you'll see a special prayer for him, Mr. Walsy. Thanks. Goodbye. Goodbye, Mr. Walsy. Uh, wait a minute, wait a minute. This hospital you're going to build, is it going to have wonders? Oh, yes. Yes, we wanted to see it. I'm talking about special wonders. Uh, color glass and lighting on them, you know? Oh, well, we haven't thought about that yet. Well, put a big one in. See, a great big one with Luigi Rossi Jr. on it. If you do that, you can take a land. You can have it all. It's true. You're Rossi. Are you sure you want to do this? Yeah. It may be crazy, but I'm sure. All right, now, suppose you sit down and let me look up my lawyer, huh? You can get the papers ready. Goodbye, Mr. Rossi. And God love you. Thanks. Say, uh, if you need some dough, I can give you a short thing and a fifth. But, uh... Yeah? No. No, you better skip it. Goodbye. Goodbye. Well, here's the deal, sister. Hold on to it tight. Oh, God is good to me. We have our land. And once again, the sister Margaret and sister Scholastica call to the residence of young information, the songwriter. Come in, won't you, sister? Oh, thank you. Oh, this is my fiance, Miss Blaine. How do you do? And my agent, Mr. Sheldon. How do you do? And congratulate me, sisters. I've just accepted a big, fat offer from Hollywood. From Hollywood? Well, it's only for 12 weeks, but I'm leaving tonight. Oh, which reminds me, I, uh... I want you to have this. It's a little contribution to the church. Thank you, Mr. Mason. Oh, that's much better. That's much better. You're a great success. You think of, uh, so, Mr. Mason. That's nothing at all. Well, we... We won't intrude on your last meeting at home. We only came to thank you for the deed. Oh, use it any time you want to. As long as you're here. Oh, that's very kind of information. Thank you again. And these are your eyes, Mr. Mason. Thank you. Good night, sister. Good night. Good night, sister. Tell us something really very nice about those two. Oh, they're very sweet, darling. And I'm glad I gave them one. Besides, you can take it off your income tax. No! How about running through that song of yours? What? A bling? Oh, but it's wonderful, Bob. It's the best song you've ever written. Oh, and I'm glad you think so. Now, while you were out this morning, Sister Margaret called from Bethlehem. I wish I could change my decision about helping the Monsignor, but... I can't. Helping them, Your Excellency? Uh, here is her message. First, they have the land they wanted, and Mr. Rossi gave it to them. Rossi gave it to them? Second, they have already raised $300. Incredible. And lastly, they have bought a building. What a building? An active Providence sister said. An old plant had joined in the Rocky property, formerly used to bottle witch hazel. I know the place, Your Excellency. It's small, but there's... Bought a building? But how? With what? $50, she said. At least that represents a three-month option. The full price is $5,000. Sister Margaret said it will make an ideal temporary shelter in hospital until the new edifice is built. Monsignor? Something tells me that an irresistible force has been let loose in New England. Arrange for a car at once. Thank you, Your Excellency. Uh, do you mind? Thank you, Miss Potts. Now, then, sister, on my way here, I went over that building carefully. Well, I must admit it's a bargain. No doubt about it. $5,000, you say? Yes, Your Excellency. And do you look? Only last month they were asking $30,000 for that old buckling plant. Oh, $30,000? Do you have the option paper, sister? Oh, right here, Your Excellency. There. And all in order and sign before a notary. Hmm, yes. Well, now I understand. Do you realize what this agreement calls for, sister? A trustee. Yes, Your Excellency. It was $25,000. Oh, Mr. Jarman, a real estate man was most charitable. And it's good for things you like to receive. Sisters, a trustee is not charity. A trustee is a mortgage. A mortgage? Well, to put it plainly, you have to pay for it. It does not pay you. Very sorry? You see, sister, the price of the building is not $5,000, but $30,000. $30,000? And since such a sum is out of the question, I shall attempt to recover your $30 from Mr. Jarman and have the option canceled. Oh, no, please, Your Excellency. Please, let us try to raise the money practical. Sister Margaret, how can you? Well, I am practical, Your Excellency. We have the land and we have the building. Very practically. And we have $300. And so we're going to have more and more because we're planning to buy a bell. A bell? Yes. What can you do with a bell? We shall begin by ringing it, Your Excellency. Sisters, you believe that all you have to do to raise $5,000 in the United States is to ring a bell? Well, you see, it will draw attention to the leases and the jams and the cakes that we shall offer for sale. And then there's our pottery, Your Excellency. Oh, our pottery was much in demand in Francis' city because I think he is an expert on it. Oh, thank you. And I just... Your cooks were also very much admired. Oh, thank you, Sister. Yes, they were, Your Excellency. But it's impossible for you two to raise anywhere nearly the amount required by selling these, see? We shall also have the help of the others. Others? Yes. What others? Well, the other sisters who promised to come over and help us. How many sisters? Eleven, if you like, Princess. And don't call for Father Barrow, if I say so. Eleven? Please? Oh, dear, Miss Potts, he won't cause you any trouble. He's happy anywhere. He's in a constant... Don't worry, Miss Potts, they will not come. I shall cable it once and put a stop to this... this migration. And you, Sister, must prepare to leave. Yes, Your Excellency. I'm sorry, this is my final word on the subject. About her. About the cable, Your Excellency. Yes? I... I'm afraid it may be too late. Yes. Listen. There are cartons. And he'll always... Sister Margaret! Oh, Sister Scholastica! Father Barrow! Miss Potts. Oh, dear, oh dear, dear. Oh, God will bless you for giving them shelter. Yes, but where would he let me pay? Sister Margaret? Well, I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but they arrived sooner than I had expected. You see, they were just so eager to help at the hospital. Very well, Sister. They are here. But I want you to understand that you may remain only for the period of your option, three months. If by then you have failed to raise the necessary money, or are unable to sustain yourself, you will all have to leave. Is that clear? Yes, Your Excellency. And thank you. God bless you. Sister Scholastica! And you, Miss Potts. Yes? And here is the stable for us, Miss Potts. Oh, Potts, Your Excellency. Against which, quite obviously, there is no defense. There hasn't been for nearly 2,000 years. Well, well, well, well, well, well. Hello, Anthony. Well, it's good to see you. Oh, I stopped off in New York. Anthony, these friends of mine are going to stay with us for the weekend. Well, this is it, everybody. This is my little, great home in New England. Bob, how lovely. No wonder you don't want to go to New York. What a layout. Well, Kitty, the old place, it looks good, doesn't it? Wonderful, darling. What's up over there? Oh, that's just a duck, Miss Kitty. Just a little duck. I better get the bags inside. Just a minute, Anthony. Who's that nun? The one chasing the duck. Got me, boss. Oh, nuns, look alike to me. I better get the mice and the girls and the mice to drink. And look down that road. Three of them, riding bicycles. They're away with me, boss. Come on, assistant! Just a minute, Anthony. What's going on around here? Who are all those nuns? Oh, there's just a little hand full of them, boss. Just a minute. It's a stable. How many of them? Never did count them, boss. I better get you folks checked. And don't disappear, Anthony. I want to talk to you. Tied up four. It's all right, Arson. It's all right, old boy. Now, what's the idea, Anthony, turning up Arson? All the room time, boss. Room time. Get your hands off of him. Now, what's he tied up for? Well, his ribs are all thin. And he's running away. Well, why shouldn't he run? No, boss, no. In here, everybody, if you want to drink. Anthony's the best bartender this side of... Oh, really? Come on, come on, Arson! Arson, Arson, come back here. That dog just fell his right over the sofa and out the window. Anthony, what's the matter with that dog? You want to see the squirrel, boss? And what's that racket? That bell? You mean that little bit of ringing sound, boss? I mean that inferno's din. What is it? Oh, yes, a bell belonging to the sisters. Excuse me, boss, bell. What are the sisters doing with a bell? Ringing the customers, boss. Customers? For what? The little things they say about them. Down where? At Miss Park? That's right, boss. Bob, look at that crowd over there. Automobiles here. I'm terribly sorry, everybody. Excuse me, will you? I've got to go see what this is all about. Hello, Amelia. I hope to interrupt your painting, but... No, Arson. Hello, here, Amelia. What could I be of taking those nuns in behind my back? Behind your back? What do you learn to read here? Exactly. You moved those nuns in while I was away. The place was flooded with them. I knew them. With their hittings, their feasts, their ghosts, their ducks, and heaven knows what else. You've got to get rid of them, Amelia, the whole process. No, job it. I'm surprised at you. They're going to give the hospital for six children. They'd work and slave inside their pen. Now, see here, Amelia. You've got to get rid of them, or you'll have to leave yourself. As a matter of fact, no one's going to move. They're going to move themselves to the mouth. I don't care what you... Well, no. Why didn't you say so in the first place? Oh, that's different. What are you moving to? There. There? There. There? There? You mean your bottling plant? It's where they used to make the case of. But that's why the cost met the road for my place. They can't put a hospital there. I won't stand for it. Oh, you won't, won't you? No, I won't. Another big aid, Mr. Dahman. Four thousand nine hundred and sixty dollars. They're only property, and there's nothing you can do about it. No, we're just you wait and see. What are you into? We are using your kitchen table for our accounting desk. We are figuring out how to pass the seats. The information finder and the file team is looking for you. Oh, he's finally alright. Oh, I'm so glad he's back. We must tell him our good news. Good news? Yes, indeed. Look at this. Hello. Jam, patties, laces, embroideries, eggs, milk and cheeses and other items have brought us just over two thousand dollars. Is that correct, Father Bill? Two thousand one hundred and ninety eight dollars and seventy five nineteen. Thank you, Father. And then there's our hook rug of your design and of the q-share. Thank you. Which was so generously purchased by Mrs. Spooner for twenty two hundred dollars. And now that brings our total up so far, including contributions to, now let me see. Four thousand five hundred and forty five nineteen. Yes. But that isn't enough, isn't it? Oh, but we only have five hundred dollars more. That's as easy as it is. By noon tomorrow? Oh, no, of course not, Mrs. Spooner. Tomorrow? Yes. Oh, no, I can't be. You must be mistaken, Mrs. Potts. It was a good fifteen months ago tomorrow. I remember the day so well. You can't be. I mean, the time has just flown by. We've been working so hard and... Oh, now five hundred dollars to raise in one day. It might as well be a million. Perhaps Mr. Rossi? No, no, no, Sister. We mustn't ask him again. And anyway, you remember he sent us a postcard. He's resting in that little place in California. What's his name again? Gaine Neubos. Oh, Sister, I just can't believe it was him. We must have lost something undone. But perhaps we have lost hard enough of... Oh, I don't know. Perhaps it's because we may admit it to dig the foundations for the small triumph on the hill. Of course, Sister, that's it. And that was my fault, because I don't like to do it. If I only had the money, I'd gladly know your witness, Potts. We know your witness. You, Sister, tomorrow morning at dawn, we'll start building our shrine. Yes. And then we'll call Mr. Jarman and ask him for a re-expansion. It's a little time he's sure to agree. Oh, don't you think? I'm sure he will. I think he will. Well, Father, are we finished? Hello, Mr. Jarman. Yes? Oh, hello, Mr. Jarman. This is Mason, Robert Mason. Oh, hello, Mr. Mason. I heard you were back. I'll say about that old building across from me, Mr. Jarman. I understand those nuns have an option on it. Oh, yes, yes, they do. It expires at noon tomorrow, and I have an idea they're not going to be able to pick it up. You don't say. Well, what if we ask for an extension? I'm sorry, Mr. Mason, but I'll have to refuse them. Oh, don't be sorry. Now, you're sure you won't give them any more time? Oh, I think they have a very worthy cause, but after all, this is business. Uh, there's someone else who wants that property. Well, that's all I wanted to know. Thanks a lot, Mr. Jarman. When Sister Margaret and her fellow nuns are most certainly due to lose the little building they've tried so desperately to buy. In the Mason home, Bob and his weekend guests are gathered around the town. Yeah, Bob, congratulations. Thanks. Nearly the first tune you'll have are written. Did you hear that, Bob? And that's a little music critic, too. Wait a minute. Am I hearing things? Listen. What's the matter? Well, sir, singing. Yes, I know. They're singing. Wait a minute. I want to hear it. Now, just a minute. Are you accusing me of listening to that tune? It's been done before, but I wrote my song long before those numbers ever came here. Oh, well, be saying. Just saying. That's very much alive. I wrote this number originally a couple of weeks after my outfit had landed in France near Belair. I was walking through a free field when it came to me just as clearly as if I'd heard it. In Belair, four years ago. And what they're singing was written over 1,400 years ago. A Gregorian playing champ. You think I'd be low enough to slather him from nuns? Oh, no. God, just leave me alone. Oh, forget it, Bob. Come on, let's go. All the while, get some rest. Go ahead. I'll see you all later. And this isn't otherwise. Oh, no, Sister Margaret. What more lovely place could there be? Good. There are lots of places that are in spite. There. Now drive it in, sister, and drive it deep. Are you going back? Oh, yes. Yes, you're doing very well, sister. Now she does some more glades, and I see she's here. She's here now. The others. She looks like the others. Come to my room. Please stop. Anthony. Anthony. You calling me Bob? Where have you been? Bob. I thought you said you were going to take a shower. I said where have you been? Been watching America, Bob. If you've never seen one before, you better go right down and see one now. What are you talking about? Up down the hill. Balls are the steam of water shooting pretty deep in the air. And it came to the sisters that they were digging a hole to put up a sign. Digging up. No wonder I couldn't take a shower. They just took my water pipe. Water pipe? Yes. That's right. My water pipe. Then that settles this. Get the chief Anthony. I'm going into Bethlehem. I came to see you, Mr. Jarman, just to make sure about the sale of the old bottling plant. The information I told you, the sisters often expire at noon today. Yes, I know you did. You also said something about selling it to somebody else. Are you sure you've got a customer for this? You did, I have. Real reliable seller, too. I'm going to put up a fertilizer plant. Fertilizer. What did you say? Fertilizer plant. We tried to build it in town, but the counter wouldn't let in. Fume, you know. What about moon? I live right across from the plate. How much did this fertilizer fellow offer you? $31,000. $32,000? I think we could make a deal, Mr. Mason. Providing, of course, the sisters don't pay $500 in the next two hours. All right, then. Come over this afternoon with the papers, and I'll give you a check. Yes, it seemed to apologize to Ms. Blair for breaking this water pipe. It was more than careless stuff. Well, don't worry about it. The drum is fixing it now. And Mr. Mason? You'll be back soon. You'll be back in town about something. You were all about to play tennis, so you don't let us interrupt you. Oh, we've been playing, sister. But Ms. Lane and I know when to quit. These two just beat us to a pulp. You know, I'd give a small fortune to beat you to just one. Right at any time you are out. Excuse me, but do you really mean that? Mean what? Would you really give a small fortune? Perhaps it's a donation to a good cause for the opportunity to defeat the lady under gentlemen? Well, uh, well, yes, maybe not a small fortune, but, uh... Oh, would you consider $500? Less than a small fortune? Well, yes, I thought so. But it was $500. Why? Uh, would you excuse me, please, while I talk to Sister? What do they have to, anyway? I don't get all this money. We'll bring it back. But it's been so long. Oh, I know, but it is a solution. Okay. May I see your racket, please, please? My racket? Sure. And your shoes? A good, good, very sweet. More borrowed then? Well, well, yes, but what for? Well, it is agreeable to everyone. Sister Scholastica would like to be this gentlemen's partner in a tennis match. You, my partner? Yes. Please. And if you insist on a win, you will donate $500. Sure. Well, well, what do you say? Two, that's not a three. Okay, brother. Okay, by me. You, uh, you played tennis before. Oh, yes. But not for a very long time, I must say. Now, don't try to run out on it, Al. Come on. What are you on here, Kitty? Isn't she marvelous, Bob? That's Sister Scholastica out there. Hello, Mr. Mason. You came to tell you how sorry you were about the water pipe. Well, forget it. Get the all fixed. Oh, thank you. Your necessary kind of offer to donate $500 to be insisted Scholastica should win the tennis match. You, you mean we're going to get $500 from him? Wow, quiet, darling. That's a nice point. That's Aunt Matt. Oh, Aunt Waterless. Oh, sister, you're marvelous. Oh, but we lost. I am so ashamed. Sorry, why? I've never enjoyed a game so much in my life. Where did you learn to play like that, sister? Oh, yes, you were wonderful. Oh, Norman was in. I was not wonderful. You remember, perhaps, justly my laugh of the 1969 French team? Do I? You're not just normal. Norman was in. No longer. I lost, Mr. Margaret. I lost. You tried, sister. That's important. Mr. Mason? I know this isn't the right moment, and you've been so good to us already, but we were wondering... I know all about it, sister, and the answer is no. I'm sorry, but I just don't want a hospital temporarily permanent in my backyard. I'm sorry, sister, but that's the way I feel. Yes, of course. Well, thank you anyway, Mr. Mason. Come, sister, we've got to go back now. So we must go back to France, Miss Potts. But we want you to know that you have our everlasting prayers and gravities. But, sister Margaret... Oh, no, no, we haven't failed. That is not in God's plan, we haven't. Even though we don't understand it right now. If I'm ever something I could do, for the first time in my life, I know how it feels to be poor. Poor? Oh, my dear Miss Potts. You're not poor. You're a rich woman. You're rich, and kind, and some greatness of heart, and in taste. Oh, come now, you mustn't cry for us. You know, it isn't hard to relinquish a dream. It is God's will. That's all I tell you. And since you all seem so furious as to why I'm in the town, all right, I'll tell you why. I'm buying that old plant across the way. Oh, no, what are you gonna do with it, Bob? Make with Hazel? You don't approve, do you? None of you approve. Well, you may as well hear all of us. Those nuns didn't have the money to meet the options, so I moved in, just in time, too. Bob, I don't understand. Progress, Kit, progress. Don't you recognize the merits of a bottling plant over a children's hospital? I seem to recall the city wanting to build a playground in your neighborhood, and the moment you heard about it, you got people to sign a petition against it. Maybe I did, but... That was just sure. That was different because it happened to you. Look, supposing you've worked all your life, hoping someday to be able to build a place in the country where you could work and live the way you wanted to. Finally, you get the break. You build your house. You think a lot of though into it, and along comes somebody who wants to build a hospital right in your front yard. Would you stand for it? Would any of you stand for it? I know how you feel, Bob, but those sisters are doing a very worthy thing. Yes, I know, and I'm all for it. I'm for a lot of worthy things, orphan asylums, insane asylums, sanitariums, but I'm just like everybody else. I don't run right under my nose, and I'm honest enough to say so. Give them all a drink, Kit. I'm going off to school. Come and say goodbye to us. No, I... I was just asked for a walk. I didn't mean to break in on you. When are you leaving? Tomorrow. Something you need? A station wagon with a jeep. Oh, thank you. But there's nothing you need. Oh, but you have fainted to walk. Just a scholasticer now. We're coming over to your house to do this. What's that? Well, it's for money, Kit. We won't be needing it now, and it's only right that you should have it back. All right. I don't want it back. Can't you move it for something? To help you pay your expenses home. Oh, that's very kind of you, too, but I wouldn't be taking care of it by our mother house in Gilaire. G... Gilaire? Yes. In... in France? Malmondville? Yes. Do you know it? Yes, I... I know it. Oh, how nice. Sister, I... I'd like to do something. I... Isn't there... isn't there anything? Yes, Mr. Masonary. Could you say a prayer for her? Well, I'm... I'm afraid prayers aren't very much of my line. I'm not... I'm not very good at that sort of thing, but... I'd better be able to please you. Oh, it will. And it'll do. Why, this paper is the deed to the building. And the bill of sale, marked paid in full. She came here last night there, Mr. Mason. He said a prayer for her. He must have come back later, much later. We found the deed when we came to Mass there this morning. Oh, please, Your Excellency. You know we saw it. And we're proud to do it. I think you will stay here all your days, Sister Margaret. And now, I, too, should like to pray for you. Now here's Mr. Keely with our cars. And here they are coming forward for an extra curtain call. Loretta Young and you, Ma. It's a special excitement when you're in the Lutz Radio Theatre, just think. This is your 26th appearance. Yes, well, it's always exciting for me, too, Bill. And tonight was a, well, a favorite role of mine. And one for what you received in the Academy Award nomination last year. Your last week was pretty exciting in Hollywood, too. March 20th brought a new batch of Academy Award winners and their Oscars. And March 21st brought Spring, Folk, and Molossi. Oh, you are new. Now, let's call it so for beauty care. What do you need are those daily looks so facial for a radiant complexion? Well, you ought to know, Loretta. You're one of our best recommendations for beauty. You, I think, you might be out of touch with what's going on in Hollywood. Well, I suppose I am a little bit. I spent several months making a picture in South America. But since then, returning, I've had time to finish one called Wait till the Sun shines in LA. Oh, that sounds like one of those wonderful 20th Century Fox musicals in Kutnik, Loretta. Ah, and incidentally, Loretta, don't miss the latest release called Five Fingers. Five Fingers? That sounds like the life of a one-eyed blinder. Ah, no, Loretta. Those are the five fingers of a spy played by James Mason, who uses them to steal war secrets from the British. Oh, yes, Bill. I remember ringing it. And it was all the more exciting because it actually happened. Right. And what story do you have for next week, Bill? Well, one that can actually happen every day, you. Because it's a romantic drama set to the background of New York's fabulous models and designers, and as timely as today's fashion headlines. It's I Can Get It For You wholesale. And we will have the original stars of this fascinating 20th Century Fox picture, Susan Hayward and Dan Daly. Oh, I shall love listening to that, Bill. Good night. Good night. Good night. And thanks for two beautiful performances. And now here's John Kennedy with news about another star performer. This is a company unconditionally guaranteeing the quality and performance of Luxe toilet folk, Luxe place, Trotterdon Tuesday, that's presented on this program for your money refund. Now we invite you to be with us again next Monday evening. When the Luxe Radio Theatre presents Susan Hayward and Dan Daly, Jim, I Can Get It For You wholesale.
