 Remember a Hallmark card when you carry it up to send the very best. Tonight from Hollywood, the makers of Hallmark cards bring you another and their exciting new series of broadcasts on the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Each week Hallmark will bring you true-to-life stories of actual persons who in their own way have contributed to a better world for all of us to live in. Presented on the Hallmark Hall of Fame by our distinguished host, Mr. Lion O'Berrymore. And welcome to the Hallmark Hall of Fame. Respectfully dedicated to men and women whose service, sacrifice and devotion have brought us all lasting benefit, but who are all too little known to us. We've all heard of Paul Revere. His great ride came at the beginning of the revolution, rousing the countryside doorms. But there was another great rider of the revolution, Captain Jack Jewett, without whose personal courage and magnificent horsemanship the revolt might have ended abruptly and in our defeat. Therefore tonight the Hallmark Hall of Fame proudly pays tribute to that headlong, colorful rider of the revolution, Captain Jack Jewett. In a moment his true and blood-tingling story. And now here's Frank Goss from the makers of Hallmark cards. When you're looking for a way to say something to someone you care for, look for a Hallmark card and you'll find the card you want to send. Because Hallmark cards are designed to say what you want to say, just the way you want to say it, with the good taste you demand of anything that bears your signature. That's why Hallmark on the back of a greeting card has come to mean you cared enough to send the very best. Lionel Barrymore appears by arrangement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, producers of battle circus starring Humphrey Bogart and June Ellison with Keenan Wynn and Robert Keith. And now here is Lionel Barrymore with the first act of your Hallmark Hall of Fame. Insinue, scarlet coat, pooned hat, riding cape and audacity. Mark those thundering hoofbeats. We owe up that living thunder and the man who rides it. Captain Jack Jewett of the Continental Arm. The struggle for independence was all, Junior, 250-picked British bragoons prepared for a flash array to end the war. Under the fabulous British officer Colonel Taut, as drums of empire, history was preparing one opponent, a rider of a giant. Come hard to defeat us. Now, grab it. Man makes winning the war a real sporting business. This is none of your locks, Jack. Virginia is wide open to Cornwalls. Walk in and take what he pleases. Our armies are scattered. 8,000? I'm speaking. A dozen's like myself. Which answers your need, too? Be serious, Matthew, men. How? On my part, I'll wrap down every door in the colony, riding by night, recruiting soldiers. You can't do it alone, Jack. Oh, I'll have my horse. Never go riding without him. Jack, don't joke about this. By the way, where's Nelson England? I can see that, can't I? We didn't invite him. Because we think he's a Tory and a spy, that's why not. That's serious. Working with your girl Sally, you might care. The new troops we require. Ah, we look to that. Ah, you disturb me, Jack. You take it too lightly. I ride lightly for my size, but I ride. Your hands and your hearts, then. Please, Tom Redding, Ned Shivers and Jack Jewett. We? Appealing to the supreme judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions. Appealing to the... The mutually pledged to this cause of liberty and our sacred honors. I couldn't help it, Jack. He saw you coming through the window. He threatened me with a gun I had to do. He comes a walking with flops with lace at their cuffs. I didn't know he was against us, Jack, until now. Believe me. I can vouch for Sally on that, Jewett. I didn't teach you a testimony. If you swore on oath that grass is green, Tory. But it isn't too bad, Jackie. He promised me you'd only be taken prisoner. How are you laughing? Because he told you grass is pink and you believe him. I don't know. I mean he means to hang me. Oh, no. No less, and challenge him. Ask him straight. Did you? You didn't lie. Brother, I, uh, withheld some of the truth. You'll hang him. You'll kill him. I'm a loyal subject of his majesty, George. He lied to me. Jefferson and the legislature have left Richmond in a meeting in Charlottesville. Then left Hanover this morning to capture them all at Monticello. You don't think that'll stop the fight? Your harmony of farmers and clerks is ready to quit now. What will they think when Thomas Jefferson author of their Declaration of Independence, author of their Scurrilous Liberty, is in our... Get me some ropes, Ellie. Yes, yes. Some colonial gentlemen, clerks and farmers, I believe, are waiting for me at the Cuckoo Tavern not far off. I'll leave you with them, Nelson. Oh, I sense an heroic gesture in the making, Captain. Am I right? You imagine yourself a quite dashing fellow in that absurd red coat and the plumbed hats you affect. A, uh, horseman extraordinary as you bawled outside a moment ago. Well... Do you imagine you can outright Tarleton's dragoons? A Sunday canter. You're a fool, George, right like the wind, and they passed here. I don't believe it. This is all the rope we have, sir. Ask Mistress Robard if Tarleton's men did not pass here. Sally, Tarleton's men ride like the wind, and I'm a fool. Very well, Tory. Perhaps I ride like one. Shall we see? We will return to the second act of our true story of Captain Jack Jewett. Last week, I visited a friend who has earned a reputation for thoughtfulness. He's a dynamic person with a flair for getting things done, and yet he always finds time to remember those who helped him reach his goal. For instance, when I walked into his office, I found him addressing a birthday card. You know, Frankie said each year I remember my high school English teacher in Terre Haute. She was the one person in my youth who encouraged me to go on to college. Well, it occurred to me that the schoolteacher must take particular delight in getting his greeting each year because a birthday card is such a special card to receive. It seems to say, I know that today is your own day. I want to wish you happiness. Now, if you have a dear one with a birthday coming up, I'd like to make a suggestion. Go to a store where Hallmark cards are sold, and select from the big buried collection of Hallmark birthday cards. You'll find styles to suit every personality and words that say what you want to say, just the way you want to say it. And remember, when your card is received, the Hallmark on the back will tell your friend you'll carry enough to send the very best. And now, here is Lionel Barrymore. The rebellion and the spirit of the people have been broken. The revolution instead of deadly defeat with a musket on you, and that's the difference who asks. Riding against Talton's raiders, Sir Thomas Jefferson about Charlottesville that they've taken the revolution will be over. So you say. So I say and so it is, and we're wasting precious time. You're clean, you're a patriot. Yes, and let me up on my way. Not so fast. It happened to dress that way. It's my private uniform. You were proud of it. I'm a captain, Captain Jack Jewett. Maybe. My father runs a swan tavern in Charlottesville. Please, I've got to be on my way. Maybe you're a torah taking a shortcut to Maricello. I'm on a cello. Oh, glad one. It's Italian. Listen, I tell you. Rather come along with me. I said, listen. We hold these truths to be so evident that all men are created equal. That they are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights. That's enough. Would a lawyer listen to those phrases by heart, would he? Can't say. What is it? It's the Declaration of Independence. Sounds nice. Can you walk? Give me a hand up. Now, see. Aside, these all drive with blood. Drive, did you say? You're aside. I've been lying here too long. Please, listen to me. On your way, strange. On your way. Find from Winchester in your great tradition the peerless cavalry of Jeb Stuart of the Southwood. I couldn't stop then. I've got to stop now. I can't go much further. I want one more. Your face is cut to shreds. Give me a drink. Get your face up, too. Branches slash. Slash like whips. I'll do my best first drink this down. Gas. Gee, mister, that ain't good. First, let me get at these cuts. They're right bad, mister. Another drink, I say. I'll wash your face and tie up the worst cuts first. Like whips, most likely. Faster with the sun, I can't wait. Well, you're thirsting and you're hurt, mister. I've got a right. Over the Rye Vanna was a bridge, little mountain, to Monticello. Captain Stuart, I hope I'm a modest man. I'm to present history if I did not realize that my capture might have been the final blow to our country and a grateful posterity will record that you out-rode the finest cavalry in the war to save the American Revolution. Mr. Jefferson! Mr. Jefferson! Yes, what is it? Soldiers are outside. They've been fighting at the Rye Vanna crossing, sir. Colonel Tarleton's coming up the mountain. Thank you. Will you prepare the horses and notify the household we are leaving? Yes, Mr. Johnson. Headlong retreat before the enemy? I have some unfinished business with a fair, but fairly fickle lady back home. It's still a war on, sir. Sting independence. After the war, Captain Jack Jewett served several terms in the Virginia legislature. He had once saved from capture. Later, he became one of the men responsible for Kentucky's statehood. His son became a painter of note. His grandson, the Commodore. Yep, Jack Jewett, rider of the Revolution rode beyond the Revolution into a firm place in American history. But through all his life, he carried the scars of that desperate ride. And now I'm sure you want to hear about next week's show. But first, here's Frank Arst to tell you about a hallmark blessed event. When a new baby blesses the family of a friend or relative, all of us love to share in the welcoming ceremony. And one of the nicest, most original ways of doing it is by sending the mother a brand-new hallmark cradle card. You see, the hallmark cradle card is a big pink and blue greeting that's made to hold all the other baby cards your friend will receive. It comes folded flat in its own pretty mailing envelope and can be set up in a matter of minutes to decorate a dresser or nightstand. You'll find the hallmark cradle card looks like a quaint old-fashioned cradle with stand-up rockers and a scalloped hood bedecked with a pink ribbon bow. It's a wonderfully thoughtful gift and card combined, and it costs just $1. Yes, and the hallmark cradle card makes a charming centerpiece for baby showers, too, so why not get yours soon? You'll know it by the hallmark and crown on the package. The symbol that always brings an extra measure of joy, for it means you'll carry enough to send the very best. And now here's Mr. Barrymore again. And I bet you have a quotation for us. Well now, Frank, it just so happens that I do. It's from a fellow named Hare, and it goes like this. Could we understand half what mothers say and do to us, when infants, we should be filled with such conceit of our own importance as would make us insupportable through life. Happy the child whose mother is tired of talking nonsense to him before he's old enough to know the sense of it. But in any case, I know that all new mothers and fathers will appreciate your sending them a hallmark cradle card. I've seen them, and they're delightful. Make a fine display for all other cards the new parents receive. Now, I'd like to tell you about our new arrival to the Hallmark Hall of Fame next week. She is Sakha Jawiya, the young Indian girl who guided a famous expedition through a hostile wilderness opening the great northwest of a growing American. I'll hope you'll all be listening to this stirring true story of courage and adventure. Our Hallmark Hall of Fame is every Sunday. Our producer, director William Gary, our music was composed and conducted by David Rose, and our script tonight was written by Milton Geiger. Until next Sunday then, this is Lionel Barry Moore saying good night. There are so lonely in stores that have been carefully selected to give you expert and friendly service. Remember a hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. A part of Captain Jack Jewett was played by John Stevenson with Barbara Eilor as Sally. Others in our cast included Whitfield Conner, Frank Martin, Ben Wright, Ted D'Corsia, and Peter Leeds. Every Sunday, hallmark cards presents two great programs for the whole family's enjoyment. The Hallmark Hall of Fame on radio with host Lionel Barry Moore and on television with Miss Sarah Churchill. Consult your paper for time and station. This is Frank Goss saying good night to you all until next week at the same time when we present another true-to-life story of actual persons who in their own way have contributed to a better world for all of us to live in. Next Sunday, we honor Saka Joella on the Hallmark Hall of Fame. This is the KMVC, Kansas City, Missouri. The Hallmark Hall of Fame
