 What presents Hollywood? Bring you the Lux Radio Theater, starring Charles and Heston and Gene Peters in Biba Zappata. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we are presenting two new faces in motion pictures. Two young players who are among Hollywood's most popular stars. Charles and Heston and Gene Peters. And who will undoubtedly be among the outstanding artists of tomorrow. And we have chosen one of the most exciting and dynamic pictures of the season for their co-starring role. It's Viva Zappata, the story of one of Mexico's famous leaders, as created by the 20th Century Park Studios. You know many of the scenes for Viva Zappata were shot on location. And although going on location can be in the nature of the vacation, our glamorous stars know that it can't be a vacation from their beauty care. Our lovely actresses are devoted to their daily lux facials, whether on location or at home. Now, Viva Zappata, starring Charles and Heston as Zappata and Gene Peters as Josef. In 1999, a delegation of pay arms journeyed to the presidential palace in Mexico City. A ragged group of Indians, they'd been granted an audience with Porfirio Diaz. While my children, you must have had some reason for coming here. Surely there's something you want to tell me? They have taken our land away, my president. Ah, you can talk. Now, who took your land away? Who? They have taken our green valleys, my president. They leave all in the rocky hillside. They built benches with barbed wire. They plant sugar cane in our corn land. You can prove that you own those lands. I must have facts as well as accusations. We have a paper from the Spanish crown, my president, and another paper from the Mexican Republic. Well, if this is true, you have no problem. The law will settle that my children, but first you must find your boundary stone. Verify your boundaries. You will do this for me? Yes, I will. Good. Now go home, my children, and establish your boundaries. Thank you, my president. We can't verify the boundaries, my president. They're a guard to the fence with rifles. Well, the courts will settle everything with your permission. Do you know of any land suit that was ever won by country people? My children, I am your father, your protector. But you must be patient with your permission. We make our tortillas out of corn, not patience. And patience will not cross an armed and guarded fence. To do as you suggest, we need your authority to cross the barbed wire. I cannot possibly exercise such authority. You advised it, my president. What is your name? Zapata. Emiliano Zapata. Unless the president led the names of his petitioners, and around the names Zapata, he drew a heavy black circle. When the Indians went home, they cut the barbed wire and swarmed over the newly planted sugarcane, searching for their boundaries. But the guards, the Rurales, were waiting for them. But the Pata escaped. With his brother Eusamio and a handful of men, he found safety in the high and lonely mountains. And there a man came, searching for him. You are Zapata. All week, I've searched these mountains for you. Who are you? I was sent by your friend. What purpose? I come with news of Madero. Madero? Who's Madero? He is the leader of the fight against Diaz. I must talk with you. So, go ahead. First, I will read something. The true meaning of democracy has long been forgotten. The control of our country is in the hands of a tyrant. He has named to carry out his ruthless order. Who will take? Francisco Madero. If we are to bring back the freedom that goes only with democracy, we must unite and drive the tyrant from office. Mr. Madero, where is he now? The United States, Texas. A fine place to be fighting Diaz. He's ready now to move. He sent out many people like me to find leaders. That's how I found out about Emiliano Zapata. Get him something to eat. You, come with me. Pablo, what about this Madero? This is his picture here in the paper. Explore Emiliano with a beard. A good man. I like the look of his eyes. Then find him. Talk to him. I can't, not now. The girl again? Espejo's daughter? Said, not now. You will go, Pablo. You look in his face. Tell me what you see. Me? He's in Texas. Go to Texas. But how far is he? Who knows? Go and see. If you like what you find in Madero's face, tell him about our troubles. Tell him that we recognize him as the leader against Diaz. I will be back when you see me again. But, ma'am, where is he going? What? Where is he going? I don't know. He didn't say. No, where is he going? I don't know. He didn't say. What's the matter with him? With him, it's a woman. What else? The father, it was the woman. And that night, he went down to her house in the village and hid in the shadow of her window and called to her. Emiliano. Be quiet. I must speak to your safer. There are any far after you. I know. When may I speak with your father? No. Never. Why not? What's wrong with me? What would be wrong with me if I married you? What does that mean? That I have no intention of ending a portion close in a ditch and patting toward tears like an Indian. My mother? What is that? The fathers were chieftains when your grandfather lived in a cave. Just remember that. Well, you're not chieftains now. You have no land, no money. Without luck, you'll be in jail by tomorrow. And after that... You're hurting me. You listen to me. I've been offered an important position in the Nazi Relatoria. The Nazi doesn't hire a fugitive from the law. If I accept you, they've me pardoned. Pardoned? Why? Why would she want you? Apparently you don't know that I am the best judge of horses in the country. You're the only one who doesn't know me. The answer is still no. I could take you away with me right now. I could not prevent you. Could I? But sooner or later, you would go to sleep. And then you would kill me? No. You're too respectable. I would do it because I am respectable. I want to live a safe life without surprises. And preferably with a rich man. You don't mean that. I mean exactly that. Come back when you can offer me something. And Zapata took her arm. He touched it gently with his fingers as a blind man touches to recognize and to remember. And he left without looking at her face. Zapata became a horse buyer and his patron Donatio secured his pardon. In his love for Josefa, Zapata struggled to shut his eyes to the misery of his people. When he had saved a little money and owned a good suit of clothes, he made up his mind to see Josefa's father. But on that very day, a traveler returned from Texas. We can talk here, Emiliano. Now tell him Pablo, tell him. We spoke of you much in Texas, Emiliano. One strong push and the other's finished. Wait a minute. You, Fernando. How are you and all of this? My dad will send him with me. He wants a message from you. Yes. I have private affairs. I don't want to be the conscience of the world. I don't want to be the conscience of anybody. That is all you have to say? That's enough for me. Come on, let's get out of here. Zapata stayed on the road. He'd go on to the village and speak to Josefa's father. But other men were on the road. Men in uniform. Rurales. Four men on horses, one on foot. With the rope around his neck. How is he a feminine? The old man, innocent. What's he done? Who knows. What's the matter? Get away from the prisoner. What have you done? What are they taking you for? The rope's too tight. He can't talk. Give him some water. What did he do? They're all crazy, these Indians. The craziest people I ever saw. What did he do? Captain tells me to bring them in. They're always doing something. I think you'd better... I'm a shepherd. Put it away. No. Stop it. Stop it. He would not listen. And now he's dead. What did he do? He crawled through the fence at night. To plant the crop. My father does the same. Still believes that the land belongs to him. The field is like a woman. You live with it all your life. It's hard to learn that she isn't yours anymore. They will be after you again, Emiliano. You can hide in my house. It would be an honor to take care of your horse. Thank you. I'll go now. Where? I was on my way to the village. Oh, for the Rurales? I am still on my way. He was captured at the door of Josef's house. They put a rope around his neck and set out for their headquarters. And as they rode, men appeared from out of nowhere. They emerged from either side of the road, quietly and in order, but with rifles and machetes. Side by side they rode with the Rurales, but the captain said nothing, until still another band appeared and blocked the way. What are you trying to do? Just manage a criminal. With your permission, we are here to see that the prisoner does not escape. You're breaking the law. Helping the law. With your permission, we are guarding the prisoner. Cut the rope, let him go. Cut the rope? Give me a knife, I'll do it myself. The captain is letting him go. With a kinder. I caught your horse. Thank you. What about the Rurales? Let them go. Let them go? And what about the wire? What wire? The telegraph wire. Cut the wire before they use it. No. It belongs to the government. If you touch that wire, you'll rebuild against the government. And the troops came. The President's troops, for many bitter weeks, death walked across the corn land, but Zapata let his people, wise in the ways of traps and ambush and sudden raids. And the day came when there were no more troops to fight. And on that day, the legend of Zapata was written across the face of Mexico. When it was over, Zapata returned to the house of Josef Espel. The radio family are still inside. Still in the house. Still with the girl and the relative. An hour and three-quarters already. What a waste of time. I've loved with all my heart 100 women I never want to see again. And he's still after this one. It escapes me. This is the way these people go about getting married. They sit. They sit in chairs and talk proverbs. That makes me sick. Go to the saloon. Everyone else is celebrating. You may as well, too. The general must be protected. Are you crazy? Who tried to harm your brother? Nobody, my friend. Not while I'm here. They'll do not know who's safer. Did you think of me while I was away, or didn't you? It is said that a warrior's shield is the heart of his beloved. Huh? Well said, ma'am. Well said, ma'am. Well said, ma'am. Well said, ma'am. The hero himself has made you general of all the armies of the south. Is it true? It is true, Senora Pejo. But what of the north? When will the fighting in the north be over? No one knows. Days, or months. Father. Is Emiliano here to talk of war? But it is such an honor. A general. General. A pata. Well, say, let's go for a walk. There might be a breeze on the road. A walk? Alone? Impossible. Yes, yes. A whip dog is a wiser dog. Do you think that three women and a goose make a martyr? This, I believe, that love cannot be bought, except with love, and that he who has a good wife wears heaven in his hand. But I ask you, please, when can we be alone? When can we talk as we want to talk? Oh, perhaps tomorrow. No, no. But only perhaps. And now we shall have refreshment. This is as it should be. A starved body has a skinny soul. Yes. Maria! Emiliano! Emiliano, quick! The fighting is over. Emiliano! Who's this? She kissed him on the lips. Who says it's a quiet mama? The fighting is over. Good afternoon. And all night long, the town's celebrated the victory and the wedding, with wine and singing and the playing of music. Finally it's happened. I have a sister now, Fernando. You're drunk. Ooh, very drunk. And you are very sober. I know what's the matter with you, Fernando. What? You have heavy blood. You're unhappy because the fighting is over. I am unhappy with half victory. I love you, Fernando, but I don't like you. I never liked you, my darling friend. There will be more bloodshed. All right, more. But not tonight. Dear, dear, take the bottle. Be human. Enjoy yourself. How long have you sat here by the window? I don't know. Pretty soon I'll go to sleep. What do you think now? Nothing. But you are? No. No. Don't worry about it. We'll find a good piece of land some facing will settle down. Now go to sleep. I don't want to sleep. Emiliano, the fighting is over. Madeira is in the capital. Tomorrow I will leave and go to talk to him. Can I go with you? No. Do you think we'll have children? Yes. We'll name them all Francisco. After Madeira because he brought peace. Emiliano, please tell me. Is it something about me? You must never think that I'll say I love you. Then you will tell me. Madeira will have men around him, men from schools, lawyers, educated men. My horse and my rifle won't help me there. I can't read or say if I can't even read. When they asked you to win battles, did they say can you read the part? Teach me. Of course. Teach me to read. Of course. Teach me now. Get a book. Here. Here's the book. The Bible? Open it. Any page. It doesn't matter. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Which word is God? Which is heaven? Now, watch. In. In. The. The. Beginning. In. The. Beginning. In the beginning. Now, here's your Lux Hollywood reporter, Libby Collins.

Act two of Leverbothers starring Charlton Heston as Zapata and Gene Peters as Josep. Leverbothers journeyed to Mexico City, for this was a troubled man and only Madero could eat the turmoil in his mind. They met in the presidential palace where once before Zapata had asked the same question. The land, sir. When will the village land be given back to the people? Tell them that they will get their land. But under the law, this is a delicate matter of million. It must be studied. What is it to study, my president? The land must be given back so there will be no injustice. And speaking of land. Close the door, please. Let me show you this map. You see here where these two streams meet? The land here is very rich and well-worsened and a good house on it. You know what this is, General? It is ranch. It is your ranch. Mine. It is accustomed to reward victorious generals and no one deserves it more than you. I did not fight for a land. I don't think you know what I mean. I know what you mean. The land I fought for was not for myself. Nobody are going to do it, but the land I did fight for. Believe me, it will all be taken care of in good time. Now is a good time, sir. No, no. There is only one way to do these things. Oh, this noise of confusion. I can't seem to get out, please. Everybody, please get out. There are papers to be signed there. Let them wait. Let them wait till I... General, would you excuse me? You will return? You can meet him. Defenio, come here. Fernando. He's a very busy man. He has things to do every minute, night and day. He is a mouse in a black suit. He talks too much like Dionne. No, no. Madero is right. This is peace, Emiliano. It takes time. We must work by law. First, the land must be given back, and if Madero doesn't do it, well, Fernando, then he is an enemy, too. You're his emissary. He's officer. I'm a friend to no one and to nothing, Pablo, except logic and reality. Peace is very difficult. Defenio, what do you think? That's a nice piece of land you offered. No! What's the harm? You've never taken anything. The result, we have nothing. A ranch like that... You see? I have chipped my words. I am back. Emiliano, I promise you that my first thought is of the land, but in a way that is permanent. Before you can do anything by law, you must have more. We cannot have an armed and angry nation. Then what do we do? Stack your arms. That is my first request. Stack your arms and disband your armies. Who will enforce the laws once we have them? The regular armies. It'll work, though. The police, the harassers. They are the ones we just fought and beat. Give me a watch. My watch? Give it to me. My rifle's loaded, and it points at your heart. Good for watch. Very expensive. Now take my rifle. Take your rifle? I don't understand. Now take my rifle. This time you have the rifle, so I give you back your watch, but without the rifle, never. You draw a strong model. You ask us to dissolve. How could we keep our land if we dissolve? But it is not that simple. There's a matter of time. Time is one thing to a lawmaker, but to a farmer, there is a time to plant and a time to harvest, and you cannot plant in harvest time. General Sopata, do you trust me? I trust you the way my people trust me, and they trust me as long as I keep my promises. They're not one minute longer. Where are you going? I'm going home. I will wait, but not for long. Oh, Sopata, he was leaving, huh? You are listening to us, General Sopata? A little perhaps. Kill that Sopata now. Kill him and you'll save time and lives. Your own, maybe. I do not shoot my own people. He's a fine man. I don't understand. What's that got to do with it? A man can be honest and completely wrong. I trust him. Good. Meanwhile, I'll take my troops down to Morova and help him to decide No, no, no, no, no. I must have time to think. Sir Pablo, come in, come in. There is something I had hoped to say. All right, my friend. You can speak freely. I'm so glad you came back. I want you to speak to General Sopata again for me. He won't come back, my president. He's stubborn. But if you would come down to Morova, he's different there. He needs you, sir, to help him. And if you will excuse me, you need him too? I will come. Thank you. Thank you. What does the president say? Madero is going to a morale. But no troops. He forbids it. Oh, the odor of goodness. No troops. He'll never get anywhere as long as the part is alive. He believes in what he's fighting for. So does Madero. Madero is a mouse. He can be handled with the part of the tiger. You have to kill a tiger. So Madero went to Morova. He spoke to the people, to the followers of Zapata. Then the people assembled in the public square and surrendered their arms. Madero watched them with the look of great happiness on his face. And Zapata also watched. But who could tell what he thought? You see, my friend, few people give up their weapons. Gladly, we are a nation of peace. He explained it very well, didn't he, Emiliano? They believe me, Pablo. Do you tell me? I've been fighting so long, I don't understand peace. Peace is a problem. Many men have been honest at war, but I often wonder how long a man can stay honest under the pressure of peace. This is a man I can love, Emiliano. What's going on, your brother? What is it? That's him. What's up? What's there? What is it? Where's the troops coming from? No, you didn't know it. No, no, no, it's the troops coming in. We read you. It was artillery. How did you find that out? Because I pushed the scouts. I didn't drop Madero when I was right. Who's got the troops? I'll stop him. I'll stop him, I told you. He would not do it. Emiliano, you must stop him. You must stop him. You must. Only Madero can bring us peace. Emiliano, the billboard, rifles and ammunition. No, no, listen to me. Listen to me. Now get up the snipers and flank the road. Sounds like a chicken without a head. Might be better to finish him off. What do you say, Emiliano? There must be no mercy. I give you my word. I will stop the troops. I hope so. But if you don't, I will. My President, of course, you must get me understood. These two have good qualities. Believe me, proper. I know, I know, and I'll talk to Emiliano. I'll bring you two together again. The rifles again were in the hands of the Zapatista. They waited in hiding in ambush, and they destroyed the troops of General Werther. But Werther had many more regiments. This Madero knew, though he went to Werther to plead for peace. Why won't Werther see me? I've been here for days. I'm a prisoner. The General has been guarding you for your safety, my President. Outside, you have many enemies. How can you say such things? I don't understand. Why can't I see him? But, sir, the General wants to see you. Now, tonight, that's why I'm here. He is at a special automobile. We will leave at once. And it's going to be all right. Yes, it's going to be all right. Take so rainy nights, sir. I brought a heavy coat for you. Hurry, hurry. We mustn't keep him waiting. Distance away, Werther had instructed his soldiers. He gave a signal when he saw the headlights of the approaching automobile. Now, when it stopped and Madero ran to him through the rain, he gave another signal. The fighting resumed. Werther against Zapata and Panchoviya. In his village, Zapata had a prisoner, his friend of a lifetime, Pablo. Look at me, Emiliano, and you say nothing. Not even a word. You were his friend, Pablo, and you betrayed him. Let him tell me that himself. I have nothing to say. The squad is waiting, Emiliano. And it wait. I'm going home. I'll be back tomorrow. I sent a message to her safe. I promised her that. Are you putting this off? No. Pablo met with the enemy. I have witnessed. You don't need witnesses. Just ask me. It's true, Emiliano. I met with Madero before he was taken away and killed. You met him many times. Many times, Fernando. He tried to hold back Werther and Werther killed him. When you went to Madero, you deserted our cause. He was a good man. He wanted to build houses, plant fields. If we could begin to build, even while we're burning, if we could plant while we destroy. Our cause is the land, not thoughts or ideas, or laws corn planted earth to feed the families. But can a good thing come from a bad act? Question beats in my head. Can peace ever come from someone killing? Can a man who's thoughts are born in anger and hate tell such a man lead to peace and govern in peace? You must have thought about it, Emiliano. Do you know? The last time you saw Madero, they followed you back across the line. They found our camp on the river. How many men did we lose? How many? You knew our rule against consulting with the enemy. Yes, my general. And you ignored it. Yes, my general. I'll call the squad. No. Not strangers. Emiliano, do it yourself. Yourself? Fernando. As you wish. Busy. The messenger just come from Pantulia. Tell him to wait, Madero. The general's busy. But he says it's important. I think it's good news, Fernando. I think he's... Get the messenger. Zapata will see him now. My own daughter. Look at your dress. Look at this house. Why is he a general at all? What's he got from it? Is this the house of a general? Emiliano has sent me a message. He'll be home soon, and things will be different. He's been busy. He's had to see Via. Pantulia, he knows what to do with his opportunities. Being a general is a business opportunity. Zapata could have half the state, and everyone would respect him for it. But he won't touch it. Not one inch of land, not one penny. I give him. I never had faith in him. Never. Emiliano. Welcome home. Welcome home, my son. Josefa. Josefa. You're hurt. No. Tired. How did you get through the lines? As of yesterday, there are no lines. Hueter's defeated. Via's in Mexico City. Congratulations. Congratulations, my son. Emiliano. Something's wrong. Nothing. We've won. I just need some sleep. Stayed by me, Josefa. Stayed by me, while I sleep. Once again, Zapata went to Mexico City, and where it was first Diaz and then Madero, now it was Pantulia. But the meeting with Via was not in a palace. It was in a wood near the military encampment. The two generals lay on the ground leaning against trees. They ate fruit and they taunt. Forgive me, gentlemen, but it's past three o'clock. Go to bed, Fernando. But, General, there is so much to discuss. What do you think we have men doing? I mean political matters, sir. Me? I have made up my mind. I'm going home. I have a nice ranch now, Emiliano. So? I am going to be president of a ranch. In the morning, no bugles, only roosters. You know, somebody took a shot at me today? Somebody I didn't even know. Sir, what do you propose? Nothing. No proposals. I've been fighting too long. I'm sick of it, Emiliano. You beat one of them, two more jump-ups. I used to think it would work. But what about Mexico? Mexico. Mexico. What about Mexico? I have it all figured out. There's only one man I can trust. Emiliano? You can read? A little. I know. I just appointed you. You sleep on it, you'll see. I am right. There isn't anyone else. It is you, me. Do I look like a president? There is no one else, Emiliano. God, you're with us.

The curtain rises on Act 3 of Eva Zapata starring Charlestonist Zapata and Gene Peters as host Phil. Zapata remains in Mexico City. He sat in the great office and struggled with the endless problems of people and government. No longer was Pablo at his side or even his brother, Fabio. But Fernando, yes. Fernando always. Who's next? There's a delegation from Morelos. I'll tell them to come back in the morning. There are more pressing matters. Tell them to come in now. Yes, my president. General, not president, general. Yes, sir. Tell the delegation to come in. Yes, sir. Pipe, you got skinny. What can I do for you? What is it? Tell me, what's wrong? We have a complaint against your brother. Your brother has moved into the Acienda, Ayala. And he took the land that you were just a citizen. He put us out. He killed a man who wouldn't go. Yes, sir. Is this true? Yes, it is true. All right. All right, when I get some time I'll look into it. These men haven't got time. They've filed the land. They've got it half seated. They haven't got time. When we went to your brother, he said... My brother generally became a general fighting your enemies or winning your battles. I'm one of you. You can trust me. Then you know the land can't wait. Empty stomachs can't wait either. What's your name? Hernandez. We'll take care of this one. I'll speak to Bianco. No, there is no list of names. I never want to see another list of names. You all of you, wait for me. Wait for me here. Where are you going? I'm going home. Leave now and your enemies will be here tomorrow in that room, in that desk. They'll hunt you down until you get your rest and the sun with the flies in your face. Leave now and I promise you, you won't live long. I won't live long anyway, Fernando. I won't go with you. I don't expect a man with no fields, no wife, no friends, no love. You only destroy. That is your love. And I will tell you what you will do. You'll go to Obregon or Corander and you'll never change. Now hand me my rifle. The delegates from Morelos have spoken the truth. The bottle's brother had stolen the house he owned at Ayala. The bottle found in there sprawled on the rich carpet with a bottle in his hand. Be careful what you say to me, Emiliano. Get up. Your arm. I need help. No talk. I have come with men we both know. Did you take the land away from them? I took what I wanted. There are lands, there are wives, there are women, there are women, there are wives, there are wine, whatever I wanted. What kind of an animal are you? I'm a man. I'm a freak like my brother. Get out. Look. I fought as long and as hard as you did. I too am a general. And what's in my pocket? Nothing. Nothing but a little dust. We've been deers. Deers living in a palace in Paris. We beat water. He's a rich man in the United States. I have to beg pennies in my own village from people that never even fired a gun. But I'm a general. So I'm going to act like the general. I'm going to take what I want. Let him go. This land is yours again. But you must protect it with your lives if necessary and your children with their lives. Our enemies will be back if they drive us out of the valley live on the sides of the mountain. But live. You've always looked for leaders, strong men without faults. Men like yourselves. They change, they desert, they die. There are no leaders, but yourselves is the only lasting stress. You see? The face and the waist we will bury him as a general. He didn't die in battle in his honor. I'll take him home with me. We will help him. Father went back to the mountains. But because he still was the power, the new leaders, the new generals sent their armies against him. How can we fight an enemy we can't find? There's only one thing to do. Wipe them out. All of them. We go to the villages. Their corn is growing in their houses. What new people? We destroy the corn. We burn the houses. When we go back, there's a new shelter and the corn is growing again. They're like a different race. They're not afraid of anything. Cut off the head of the snake and the body will die. Ideas are harder to kill than snakes. How do you kill an idea, Zapata? The answer is always Zapata. Kill Zapata. And your problem is solved. We must send a man to Zapata. A man who will get him out of those mountains. So they sent the man and the friends of Zapata knocked at the door of his hut in the mountains and brought him the news. This much is true, Emiliano. He took us to where they had stored their supplies. The guns are new. Some never fired. Machine guns, too. Ammunition. A mountain of it. Seen it? Yes. Enough for everything to last us a year. Why does he want to join us? He says he was stripped of his rank for nothing. A colonel. He wants revenge. Sounds like a trap. It's strange enough to be true. What proof did he give you of his good faith? He executed Juan Calzado, the chief of police who killed so many of our people. Further proof he leaves to you. They back hit him hard. What's happening, Emiliano? What did the men want? Nothing. Nothing. I want to know, Emiliano, what is happening? Are the hens beginning to crow? Every night I have the same thought. My heart says to me, now for the first time you have your husband alone sometimes without fighting, running, hiding. But it also says that soon you will be dead and I have never known you in peace. But, Sipa, I am trying to make a plan. My father told me to squat over the grinding stone and head. I have to go. I have to go. Sit over the grinding stone. You'll beat your clothes clean on a river bank. You'll walk behind him on the trail and he will only speak to give you orders. And I said I love him and I will have him. Sipa, we're getting all the ammunition we need. No, I don't want to hear. He will be gone and one day it's sorrow will come to the door and tell me that you're dead. That is what is left for me. There's a man in the village who is giving me his regiment and all his equipment. I always suspect a trick. I wouldn't be alive if I didn't. This is an easy way to kill you. I haven't made up my mind. Emiliano, don't go. We need what Guajardo can do. Don't go. I have a feeling. That's enough. I will make up my mind. Emiliano, do you want to die? I must do what is needed. It will be all right. I will say something but not for myself. If anything happens to you what would become of the people? What would they have left? Themselves. With all the fighting and the death what has really changed? They have changed. That's how things really change. Slowly, through people they don't need me anymore. They have to be led? Yes, but by each other a strong man makes a weak people. Strong people don't need a strong man. You're right or you're wrong. It doesn't matter. All I really know is that I love you. Look. The little clouds across the moon. It's a good sign. The clouds are racing. Time is racing through. The next days the father's lieutenants had more news to tell him. Guajardo can be trusted, Emiliano. He told us a true train was coming. We put dynamite on the tracks. The train came, as he said. It was destroyed. I saw them again. Stacked and waiting, Emiliano. What do you think? Is that every test? Tonight. We'll ride down to the town tonight. There is just one thing I would like to know. Suppose that something happens to me. We will get along. And someday we'll go to the valley again. Until then, Emiliano, you have taught us how to survive. Tonight. The father had ridden a white horse. From the first, the same white horse. But a year ago the horse had disappeared. Only Lozaro had found him again. And that night he brought him to the father. Look, I say for my old friend the best hurts I have ever had. You're leaving. I lost him at Hanukkah Puppet, remember? Fedros must have had him. You see, the brand has changed. But now he's mine again. He's grown old. We'll try to be back by sunrise. If not sent by sun... Get someone else! Don't go! I said... The mountains then into the town. It was arranged that the father would meet with Guajardo in the courtyard of the garrison. The two men alone. The gates of the fort were open to the part of Empress. But hidden behind a wall were twenty federal soldiers. And the man called Fernando. Fernando? The tiger is dead. The horse got away. The horse? The people are very superstitious. Yeah, I know. And sometimes a dead man can be a terrible enemy. What do we do with this? The body will be exposed in the plaza so they can see it. So they can all see that he's dead. The people saw the body and some said it was the father. And others in the mountains said it was not. But I saw him. It must be. It must be close to those federal things they're fooling. Shut up. That way it could have been anybody. Please fool them again. Are you sure? I rode with them. I fought with them all these years. Maybe they can't kill him. They'll never get him. Can you capture a river? Can you kill the wind? No. No, he's not a river and he's not the wind. Zapata is a man. And still they can't kill him. Then where is he? He's here. In these mountains. His horse. The white horse. We couldn't find Zapata now. But if we ever need him again he'll be back. Yes. He's in the mountain.

Now here's Mr. Cummings with our stars. And here we are at the Footlights. Sheldon Heston and Jean Peter. Listen, we applaud your performances. You were just great. Well, you're welcome, but why in Spanish? We thought he was supposed to have a Mexican accent. Well, that's one problem we didn't have in the silent days. No dialect. I read in an article that you starred in and directed the longest serial ever made in Silent Picks. That's right, Sheldon. 30 episodes. It was called The Diamond from the Sky. 30 episodes? How did it end? I don't know, Jean. We sold it to a radio for a daytime scene. But I played in it one time. I came up from radio, you know. That's some comeuppance. You're the star of Paramount's new picture, The Savage. And I think it's one of your best shows. And how about your career, Jean? Well, let's just say that I started as a luxe girl, and I shall go right on being devoted to Luxo's complexion camp. But speaking of careers, watch for Mitzi Gaynor and Scott Brady's careers to zoom in their new picture for 20th Century Fox, The Bloodhounds of Broadway. We will, Jean, if you'll be sure to listen next week. Because we don't want you to miss a delightful romantic comedy. We will go when there's cream hit, grounds for marriage. Installing in the original roles, we'll have that popular favorite, Van Johnson. And a lovely lady with a beautiful voice, Catherine Grayson. We wouldn't miss that one, I think. Good night. I'll show you what the quote is important to use about mouth health for you and your entire family. And here's Ken Carpenter to tell you about it. The first major test of chlorophyll toothpaste has now been reported in a leading dental journal. This report, now in the hands of your dentist, tells how chlorodent, the largest selling chlorophyll toothpaste, was tested under the supervision of the dentist at Father Flanagan's famous Boys' Town in Nebraska. In this test, chlorodent and a fine white toothpaste were used regularly by different groups of youngsters at Boys' Town. In only 60 days, three-quarters of the boys using chlorodent showed dramatic improvement in mouth health. Chlorodent was proved to be twice as effective as the white toothpaste for quickly reducing acute gingivitis. And that's another reason why Leverbug's company unconditionally guarantees that chlorodent does more for you than any other dentist. White, ammoniated or chlorophyll to give you a clean, fresh, healthy mouth. Remember, no other nationally advertised chlorophyll toothpaste has been proved so effective. So make sure you and your family get the toothpaste used in this test. Chlorodent. Hello, Leverbug's company. Now make us a block of toilet soap. Invite you to be with us again next Monday evening. When the Lux Radio Theatre presents Catherine Grayson and Van Johnson in Grounds for Marriage.
