 Starring Madeline Carroll in the Philip Barry play tomorrow and tomorrow on the cavalcade of America sponsored by DuPont, maker of better things for better living through chemistry. Tomorrow and tomorrow based on the play by the distinguished American playwright Philip Barry. Here is the story of a woman torn by three shattering emotions and of how because she was a strong woman and a fine one she refused to let them destroy her on the contrary through them achieved her own happiness and the happiness of those she loved. Now DuPont maker of better things for better living through chemistry presents Madeline Carroll in tomorrow and tomorrow on the cavalcade of America are seen the home of Gail and Eve Redmond in the pleasant University town of Redmonton named incidentally for one of Gail's grandfathers. As our curtain rises Gail is just returning from an auto trip east to the annual reunion of his college class. An event Gail never fails to attend. It is an evening late in June of 1932. Eve, Eve darling. Gail is that you? You're back oh hello hello. Darling, Lord it's good to be back. It seems forever Gail but I hardly dare expect you tonight. I drove straight through. Oh am I tired? Of course you are. How was the reunion? Eve it was a riot you should have been there. You really do enjoy those reunions don't you darling? Sure who doesn't. Oh they rigged up a basketball game between the seniors and the alumni. We won. I played center. The old win is still pretty good. The old win is superb. Some of the old class are really showing their years though. Oh excuse me. Of course dear you're tired sit down. What's been happening while I was away? Any news? Well let's see. Oh yes President A.D. has announced a summer extension course at the college. Why is that news? Because I want to go. You do? Oh Gail I must do something. Somehow or other I've got to find some way to. To what dear? What's the matter? Oh nothing. In any case the science department's got hold of a man who's done some remarkable work in psychiatry. The Dr. Nicholas Hay I think his name is. Mm-hmm. He arrives tomorrow on the nine o'clock. I said he could stay here with us. Eve what on earth? Oh he'll probably have whiskers and be very cranky but it would be nice to have someone to do for. Well it's me isn't it? You look out for yourself you always have. Eve you still love me don't you dear? I love Gail so it must be you I love. That's a queer way to put it. Darling you seem changed. What's happened? Nothing has happened. Well for a long time nothing has and for a long time nothing will that's what I found out. That's the change in me. I've nothing left to fight for. I don't get you at all when you talk this way. The Jessups had their baby Tuesday. Did they? A girl a very small one. I should have a strapping boy with a broad high forehead and a massive curly hair. That's the kind of baby I should have. Will have someday. I hope it will be soon Gail. We've been married almost six years now. Lots of people way to dozen. I'm getting scared. There are times I can't sleep for thinking of it and I love children. If loving children made you have them I'd have a house full. Besides I'd so love the actual having of one. I know then that I was living, making and not slowly dying a little more each day like this. Heaven shine on me, rain on me, bring something to me to hold in my arms. I love it tenderly. Only I shall look after it ever. Gail listen to me. I'm speaking honestly. I must have a child or in a while I shan't be good for anything at all. Help me to life Gail. Hold fast to me with your two strong arms and bring me to it. Gail. Oh that must have dropped off. What are you saying darling? It'll keep. No tell me. You're tired and it's late. Besides I'm not altogether sure you'd understand. Excuse me but I can't seem to find a taxi about. I wonder if you could tell me how to get to the Redmond house. Well yes I'm going there myself as soon as I find professor. But surely you're not Nicholas Hay. I am indeed and you must be Miss Redmond. How nice of you to come and meet me. In fact how nice of your mother to ask me to stop with her. My mother? I thought you'd be much older too. Great Scott then you're Mrs. Redmond. Come along bring your bags. The car's right here. Oh thank you. It was nice of you thinking I was my daughter. Tell me what you expected. Tell me what you did. For some ridiculous reason a beard. I could never rise to that. And what was I. Quite large little flushed and slightly out of breath and I believe you sang when urged. I think we're quits don't you. So soon. You know you're quite lovely. What. I say you're lovely. How nice of you to think that. Thank you. Oh did I mention I was going to take your course. Miss Redmond will please see me after class. You're not a bit old really. How did you know so much. I don't know anything. I have an idea that you know many obscure things well. And that is why you have you have such grace about the plain things. Who on earth are you anyway. Who do you think I am. I should like to know. It shouldn't be difficult. You see I am one of the plain things. I'm so sorry I'm disturbing not a bit of it my own fault for working on the porch anyway I've finished. Is hard and it whether certainly hasn't shown off to you these weeks you've been here with us was gay I left him talking horses to a man you know there are only three things gay really love horses corn soup and me you don't move. I want this picture of you. I want to take the print of it as deeply as I can. For afterwards I say oh for your Friday week two years in Vienna my picture of you must last a long time. I think I should miss you a great deal afterwards. What can one do for you. Do I need something so much. Yes that's quite true. But what I don't know one thing certain you won't go looking for it will you you're quite content to stay on here forever I live here my life is here if you can call it life seeing the neighbors filling the house with children I suppose would that be such a dreadful fate. Children I see I knew there was something you're like an artist without an art you mustn't make fun of me Nicholas oh but I'm not yes it's quite plain now a son I see him with your eyes your brow gales deep chest and straight back you'll be grave and solemn for a while until things have grown familiar then he'll laugh out loud he'll laugh a great deal first sons do you know I hope and you sing him to sleep at night. It's true I believe he might be the answer for you I should set great store by him then have one have one quickly or failing that adopt one I know it's right for you let's see now we must have a name for it Peter David no no I have it Christian Christian Redmond Christian Eve what is it tell me all that you said you he was speaking almost as though I thought we are own baby I've done it oh hello Nicholas I've done it even done what day persuaded Marcus to sell me that wrong stallion and forget how much only $1,200 is that a break or is that a break it certainly is congratulations thanks if you only knew how I've looked forward to this day Eve can tell you how much it means to me yes of course I can and if this makes you happy Gail I'm glad for you Gail is sorry to miss your farewell supper Nicholas I'm sorry to Eve but he's going to take the midnight train down he'll see you to say goodbye at breakfast surely to my host and to my hostess who has cared for me with all this care to our most welcome gift Eve why did you run away my last three days here I haven't seen my aunt in such a long time it seems tell me the truth I'm trying to it seemed to me Eve this is my last night here so talk to me honestly in the little time we have left what shall I say say say what you look Eve I try to be an honorable man I think you are a great and honorable man oh my dear from the first from the moment I saw you I didn't know what it is but I'm to be gone two years at least two years you've come with me no but I can't do you love him too yes yes I love Gail but this has nothing to do with him my love for you has not my going with you would then this is Hale and farewell for us but Eve if ever you send for me whenever whatever your reason I shall come remember that I shall remember and when you do you must be ready to go with me remember that as well yes when I send for you if ever I do I shall be ready to go with you you are listening to tomorrow and tomorrow starring Madeline Carroll on the Cavalcade of America sponsored by DuPont maker of better things for better living through chemistry as our play continues eight years have passed Gail and Eve Redman are with their son Christian now seven years old and on an afternoon of early autumn and come down as soon as you're ready Christian the horses are waiting Gail please please don't do it don't make Christian ride again at least not today how can you Gail that fall yesterday might don't be ridiculous darling take three good faults and make a horseman I'd had mine before I was his age to anyone who loves horses the important thing I don't think he does love them in fact Gail I'm I'm sorry to tell you but Christian has a deathly fear of horses what a Redman afraid of horses Gail I don't want him to ride again at least until he wants to please no you're on the wrong track of the boy you always have been I haven't wanted to say so but but what and it's almost as though you were trying to make the kid different from ordinary boys boys like I was for instance take the matter of teaching him yourself is that so bad I worked pretty hard for my degree but he can't even read or write yet that's true but they'll come so easily when they come so far he's been occupied with real things what for instance he has a sense of the strangeness of the world and if himself in it I'm talking about practical things all right he knows where the trout lie how to make a telephone he can grow things out of rocket seems to me I've seen him let a swarm of bees settle on his bare arm and bring them to a new high very valuable in afterlife he knows that Jesus lived and was a hero he can lead you to a spring in any patch of woods he can smell water he knows how to the difference between and and he can tell you why oh there's so much that he knows and it's all part of him and he's he's yellow what I said he was yellow that's why he failed that jump yesterday in film that's why he's gonna make it today my son yellow now you've got it all right Christian down the field and straight for the head how can you the boy was trembling actually white and tremble nonsense look at him come that's riding Eve give him his head Christian don't flinch up and over boy look at that over by two feet he's got him having the horse don't clear Christian job doctor what's to be done you said a week ago that if Christian Steve a broken he'd be all right and so I thought this this coma there's no accounting for frankly I'm baffled and so are the best men I've been able to call in for consultation but surely there's there's something to be done perhaps but we don't know what he's getting weaker each day and I'm afraid if we can't get through to him soon well it's just a matter of time before oh the phone just a minute yes this is 80 who no I didn't know thank you gail Nicholas hey he's back in this country this is 80 just heard him on the radio from Chicago Nicholas hey oh yes that professor I'll stay with us yes if he were here now whatever you send for me whenever whatever your reason I remember that even what is it if Nicholas were here even what's wrong it looks so strange operator I want to call Chicago person to person to adopt to Nicholas hey and it's urgent operator it's terribly terribly urgent you can reach Nicholas to have you here strong sure you eve my darling I'd have come across the earth hold me just for a moment then tell me the truth will Christian get well I don't know the other doctors are right when they say there's no apparent physical reason for the continuance of this coma so there's only one answer a deeper reason within the boy himself I've no doubt we'll find the trouble so simple it will break your heart oh Nicholas the most horrible thing has just come over me if this is true it's I who have done it no one else leave what do you say it's true loving you I've always been trying to keep him from Gail he's been pulled this way that way never knowing why until the last child poor baby I don't know I see it all now loving both Gail and me he tried to be what each of us wanted now he feels that he's neither that he's fearless both in it it's too much too much for his little seven years yes Eve this may be it and if it is Nicholas what you and you alone can solve it go into christian Eve now whisper softly the things he must hear tell him you and Gail love him I'm proud of him give him that confidence and will to live he must have to break through to us do you really believe I can it's the only way I'll try Nicholas I'll try can you hear me darling it's mommy I know a little curly-headed boy the dearest little boy knows where the trout lie he can find the prettiest flowers in the field sweetest fruit and berries this little boy has been away and his mother and daddy just don't know what to do without him you know where he is Christian his mother and daddy love him darling they need him to show them oh so many things his daddy says that if he'll come back he won't have to ride horses ever again unless he wants mommy and daddy is sad and we'll surely be very much sadder if their little boy doesn't come back soon Christian darling where is our little boy you're coming back to us on you darling you see mommy and daddy just couldn't get along without their boy couldn't sing to my friend Lord hey how can I ever begin to thank you don't try I understand not having a child of your own you couldn't quite but having had this most dreadful experience I well I realize more and ever that my life exists only in even Christian if anything ever happened to one of them I know he has on his page in you gail so I hear I'm coming Christian oh and doctor it goes without saying that you're eternally welcome in this house thanks Redmond I'll remember that well Eve my sweet the decision can't wait long I know I know you said that if I have a sin for you I should be ready to go with you my darling any part I may have had in Christian's recovery must have nothing to do with what you decide well my dear I can't decide it alone Nicholas I walk my feet off trying telling myself oh please you must help me what have you been telling yourself first and always that I love you as no one was ever loved before but in some way I had learned to get on without you and that if I'm to go with you it must be truly with you now this afternoon the car leaves for the station in ten minutes so short terribly short for a lifetime if I go it will break Gail's heart to say to him look you your wife great year she has really been in love with another man it would destroy him and me heaven's own judgment would not destroy you Nicholas well you are the wise one you say for years we have loved each other that is the truth no that is the fact it may be that the truth is simply that I'm Gail's wife and my place is here then it somehow just as it is it it's so complete you've decided yes you were never really not decided I think that's true I want to think so God bless you my darling and you my dear don't you see don't you see that that even if there weren't Christian if I didn't love us you and me I simply couldn't Gail needs me so and you need no one no not anymore you have yourself now that too you give me and I'll always love you for it goodbye my darling thank you Madeline Carol ladies and gentlemen in a few moments Miss Carol is to return to our microphone but first here is game Whitman with some interesting information our story of chemistry working for the victory we mean to have is once again a story of saving the most precious thing in the world today time and this time saving is concerned with the material vital to all people all nations whoa textile mills in weaving woolen cloth have to add a spinning oil to the world to make it travel more smoothly through the loom the oil must of course be removed before the cloth is bleached or died and until recently it was washed out with soap and water the cloth got wet the spinning oil was lost quite a lot of heat was needed to dry the soap cloth and more important time precious minutes and hours were required that we can ill afford to lose when every minute and hour saved counts partially because of the work of depart chemists and chemical engineers the old method of degreasing woolens is on its way out several woolen mills are already using a dry cleaning process in place of the old wet wash today thousands of yards of material are sewn together to make an endless belt thick or thin it makes no difference the endless belt runs through tanks of a DuPont product chemical compound that dries up oil the way water dissolves sugar the woolens come out of the solution clean and dry ready for bleaching or dying come out at the rate of a mile an hour enough for ten uniforms every minute time is saved because the goods aren't water soap helping to make more possible sooner expenses saved because less heat is required to dry the material space is saved for the whole process can take place in one fifth or even one tenth as much space as was needed before material is saved because the goods don't shrink the valuable spinning oil is recovered from the solution on a cavalcade program not long ago we told you what these chemicals mean in speeding up the cleaning of metals wherever metal must be absolutely clean before it is finished the new solvents are doing the job as it has never been done before machine tools mining equipment airplane motors rifles and machine guns are only a few of the things that are coming off assembly lines faster because of the characteristic way in which certain chemicals drink up oil now this same principle of cleaning has been applied to the weaving of woolen goods with the same time-saving results for the duration of the war they promise great savings in needed materials plus greater efficiency and speed of production and when the day comes when the war is at an end they promise us an entirely new method of handling woolens on that day these solvents will assume their full stature as one of DuPont's better things for better living through chemistry and now it is my pleasure to introduce to you again our star of the evening Miss Madeline Carrick thank you ladies and gentlemen it's always nice to be invited back to the DuPont cavalcade of America that's character of Eve Redman and her great love of children reminds me that you have a sort of special interest in children don't you miss Carol oh you're no doubt referring to the evacuated French children I took into my home near Paris at the beginning of the war how many children did you take under your wing miss Carol I should say about 200 200 you're very brave oh I don't know but there were times when I felt like the old lady who let times when I felt like the old lady who let times when I felt like the old lady who let times when I felt like the old lady who lived in a shoe but seriously I'm hoping and praying for the day when I shall see them all well and happy and free again good night good night Madeline Carol and thank you ladies and gentlemen next week cavalcade will present another of
