 Lux presents Hollywood radio theater brings you Loretta Young, Robert Preston and Edward Arnold in The Lady from Cheyenne. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil V. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. Whoever said it's a man's world must have had his tongue in his cheek when he said it or a very red cheek after he said it. But however he said it he was leading with his chin. It was dangerous to say that even in the days of the wild and woolly West as we approve tonight in the play called The Lady from Cheyenne. The lady in the case is Loretta Young and the gentlemen in her life are Robert Preston and Edward Arnold who learned about women from her in Frank Lloyd's Universal Picture. Of course there's always plenty of action in the story of the Wild West because whether it was a woman's world or not the men still thought it was their world. But the lady from Cheyenne beats the frontier politicians at their own game and reminds us rather forcibly that women were voting in Wyoming long before the rest of the country ever considered the idea. Wyoming deserves a deep bow from our 47 sisters for being the first to present the ladies with the ballot. But there are reasons other than voting why American women take more of a hand in public affairs today. For one thing they have more time off from domestic affairs thanks to the gifts of modern science like Flux Flakes for instance. Women gave that a smashing vote long ago and immediately elected it to a prominent place on millions of kitchen shelves. It's been reelected at every election since and the record shows it's done an outstanding job for its constituents. Women judge by past performances. So Flux Flakes continues to get their ballots. Now I'd like you all to meet the lady from Cheyenne. The curtain goes up on Act One starring Loretta Young as Annie Morgan Robert Preston as Stephen Lewis and Edward Arnold as Jim Cork. April 14th 1869 under the state line a printed notice is being tacked to the rough boards of a brand new railroad station in Wyoming. It reads notice the railroad wishes to announce a public auction of lots in the proposed township of Laraville. They'll begin at 10 a.m. It's almost 10 now and the crowd is gathering from miles around. They come by foot by horse by buck board and by the new steel monster of the prairie the railroad train. These are the founding fathers of Laraville ranchers farmers merchants gamblers and inevitably crooked land sharks. One of these is just stepping off the train now. Mr. James Cork as he waves his big hand to the crowd he's greeted by a loud cheer from his henchmen. Oh yeah boss. Fine you fellas ready to go. Sure you won't have no trouble. Just settler's inspector is here. Anybody else be rolled out. Good work Bonnie. Say boys I want you to meet Steve Ruer Steve the boys. Howdy chance. Steve here is going to run the auction. So that we'll know everything is going to be done my way. That right Steve. That's right. Nice and legal. Nice and legal. Now look boys I want all the river lots and Steve here is going to be taken with a sudden affliction. He won't be able to hear anybody bid unless they're standing down close. And that's where you boys ought to be to understand. Sure boss. Good. Well let's get started and remember fifty dollars a lot of the top price we pay. All right. All right everybody down this way the auction is down here. Come down this way ladies and gentlemen. My good friends hello pioneers and all you elegant ladies. You walk your road you've come by train. I know you've had a long heart. But that's over with. We're going to hold this off. We're going to found a town and we're going to build it up until New York and Chicago have something to shoot at. Just to get started so I'll introduce you to Mr. Steve Ruer. It's my lawyer. He's going to run the auction. Ladies and gentlemen Mr. Lewis. I had a chance to study the map so let's make it quick. Let's start with a lot number fifty seven. What do I hear. What am I paid. I bid fifty. Seventy five fifty dollars Do I hear more. I said seventy five fifty it is then sold to this gentleman for fifty dollars. Just a minute Mr. I bid seventy five. It was closed on that lot but I bid seventy five dollars. I'm sorry I didn't hear you. You hear me all right and it ain't legal. Now my friends at this minute you're breaking the law attempting to intimidate a legal representative of the railroad. By threats both implied and spoken and according to the verdict handed down in the case of state versus Peckham you're in grave danger of standing liable for a term of not less than four no more than six years in prison prison who's in prison Peckham language there for five years well I don't want no trouble with the law. Nice work Steve. Nice to meet you. All right now a lot number seventy two river lot what am I good for this lot seventy five dollars fifty dollars fifty dollars do I hear more seventy five sold for fifty dollars and now for a lot number thirty eight a beautiful garden spot on the river what am I good what do I hear fifty dollars fifty dollars I'm good do I hear more one moment please one moment can't fit here which one was it Steve here she comes the girl in the funny hat excuse me please that be true I did seventy five dollars so what she's supposed to be dressed up for this is an auction not a mask array I'll now be generous Jim the young lady's costume is a mere twenty years behind the time seventy five dollars hey lady where did you find that hat I've been seventy five dollars for that lot now just a minute ma'am will you hold my umbrella please thank you very much and now I do hope you're all going to be gentlemen and not bid anymore because I want that particular lot well ma'am just who are you bidding for I'm not bidding for anybody except myself then what do you want to land for well since you're nice enough to ask me I'll tell you I'm buying for speculation I come from Philadelphia my folks are quick as they're both dead though my mother died of heart trouble arterial sclerosis it's rather difficult to pronounce but it's really a dreadful disease my father's heart was quite good but after my mother died he was never quite the same he finally came down with sugar in the blood did you ever have that now and I guess you wouldn't you look quite strong well anyway my parents left me some money and there I wasn't often with nothing to do but teach school forever in Philadelphia and then my uncle told me about this place and so here I am and I have all the money my parents left me right here in this bag it's five hundred dollars thirty four dollars and sixty cents that's what the trip cost so far and if I have to I'll bid all my money on that lot so I do hope you're all going to be gentlemen and not bid anymore is this real there appear to be a number of children around here yes I might even put up a schoolhouse after all the town is going to be all you said they'll probably

ma'am's property no she but don't worry I'll rouse her out of there fast enough now listen Jim I've given the technique of being a robber baron a lot of study and the main idea is to gang up on

you get it back me get it and make it nice and legal stop at Jim how you hear me get down to that schoolhouse tomorrow and talk her out of it if anyone can do it you're the main so who Henry V8 was

office this afternoon well before you do I'd like you to see this it's a little notice it's been put up all around town since last night to whom it may concern notice is hereby given that all water rights to the Larival River are the property of James Cork land company the mission to use water for irrigation or cattle must be purchased from the company but what does it mean notice to the farmers now you sell your property Jim Cork he'll control the water this county the farmers won't be able to get a drop unless they pay him for it so that's why he wanted my property and that's why Stephen came and gave me the book and and even when he killed me he was thinking what I'm sorry any that's all right Henry yes I've been kind of childish and silly haven't I think I've grown up just in this one minute come right in well miss Morgan was certainly glad to see you are you Mr. Cork sit right there any thank you are you driven rather a hard bargain miss Morgan and I don't know just where I'm

what's going on around here yes Mr. Cork I'll tell you some people don't think it's very good very nice to go around pretending sent it for business reasons and kissing people when they find out they've been fooled they feel bad really bad they might even be like breaking things they might even be like taking up this baby let me tell you something as long as I have that property any farmer who wants to control all the water he needs from that river why you can't talk to me like that you do as I say you're making me mad Mr. Cork hopefully mad and he put down that glass I'll never in the world find your papers and you try any more monkey business to me I'll take you to law take me to law why you feel me I'm back Mr. Cork I run you out of this town there's nobody there when I say a thing I usually mean it for a brief intermission Mr. DeMille presents act two of the lady from Cheyenne with Loretta young Robert Preston and Edward Arnold now we bring you our old friends the Browning family 17 year old Dot Browning has a friend Jean Saunders spending the night with her two girls have just come home from the dance. My pretty little poppy daughter Jean wasn't the party divine so so I didn't I thought it was loads of fun for you maybe but I got stuck with that awful big boy oh well those things do happen sometimes they happen all the time with me I love parties and boys and everything oh honey don't say that you're just tired come on let's get ready for bed practically there now what on earth are you going to do that's my auntie my goodness at the time and I of course it only takes a moment and undies have to be locked every day before I played gene for dating us of course oh my dot I never thought about that oh now don't look for some kind of come along and see how easy it is to be dandy nowadays we help that you get fed with new quick luck you don't have to wait for hot water and then you just squeeze your auntie through the suds and the fresh of the daisy dot browning has done a very helpful thing for her friend gene because after this gene is always going to be dainty and that quality always makes a girl seem lovely and lovable as dot says it's easy now with new quick luck to protect daintiness and avoid defending these sheer flakes dissolve in a flash and take away perspiration quickly yet gently luxe is thrifty too because a little goes so far so keep that generous big box handy all the time now our producer mr. de mill act two of the lady from shy and starring loretta young as Annie Morgan Robert Preston as Stephen Lewis and Edward Arnold as Jim cork Jim cork in the driver's seat the government of larryville became a rain of terror objectives to his rule was shot or beaten their home set of fire and one night annie morgan watched her schoolhouse burned to the ground hang freeman the fighting newspaper editor is the only one who dares to tell the truth about the tyrant jim cork read all about it to you henry it's just my arm oh it would be all right this is the last straw we're going to do something to stop this we certainly are is to prove that we the better citizens of larryville are willing to face our responsibilities we've had enough of jim cork and we're here to see that in some way he's put in jail it's all very well but but who's going to put him there why whoever puts people in jail that's unimportant the fact is they shot our editor and they are burned on my schoolhouse sure sure but you've got to convict him and that takes a jury then we'll have a jury that's a simple matter why of course it is the chair hereby calls for volunteers who'd like to be on the jury raise your hands please oh what's the matter with you gentlemen it can't be that you're afraid why there must be 12 men in this town who aren't afraid well they're evidently aren't oh if we only had a women's jury we'd soon fix jim cork this is mcginnis that's just what we need we'll have a women's jury that ought to be very simple too none of this men's business about being open minded and not prejudices they say we want a good prejudice jury any look it's jim cork come right in boys come right in put the refreshments on the table there good afternoon lady what is the meaning of this intrusion well we heard you were going to have a meeting so i thought you might like to have some refreshments at the same time i'd like to introduce mr steven lewis our candidate for the legislature a fellow all your husbands are going to vote we want no part of you for your candidate we want to do it by law mr cork a jury is going to convict you and it will be a women's jury a women's jury that's good that is here go on tell us steve tell him what's wrong with it well well what is wrong with it mr lewis well i'm very much afraid that ladies can't possibly sit on a jury why not well because under the law only those who have the franchise can serve as jurors franchise yeah that means the right to vote and anyone incapable of voting at an election is also ipso facto barred from acting on a jury is that so yes it is ma'am and i suggest that if you intend going into public life you start by reading blackstone oh it's blackstone now is it it isn't the browning anymore well let me tell you something mr lewis blackstone or no blackstone we'll have women on that jury and they'll convict jim cork i promise you in other words Henry he said we couldn't do it but we can't can't we no steve was right you see there's law any laws that man made and under them a woman is just chattel a piece of property without any rights at all that's a nice thing all their laws that you live and breathe and i guess they think you should be thankful for that much well i'm not at all thankful henry but something just boiling up inside of me i think i'm just plain mad i'd like to hit somebody or sure but organizations have to be started and before things can be changed bills have to be passed up there in shy and in the legislature takes time listen here that crowd the election must be over well john oh it's all over steve lewis was just elected to the legislature oh that settles it i'm going to take the next train to shy and i'll get a bill passed so that's what has to be done goodbye henry i'll be back on Thursday you mind my sitting here why should i it's a public event you may sit any place you please thank you any any why don't you be a sweet little girl and go back to the school kids and books and friends and and leave these things to people who know what they're all about mr lewis will you please not annoying me anymore i'm reading to the beauty of evening calm and oh mr browning mr wordsworth oh to the beauty of evening calm and free the holy fanny at least let me give you one piece of advice if you insist upon going to the legislature you should do everything you can to make a good impression you should try to be as pretty as possible what and any if you don't mind my saying so you really ought to get a new hat well you please let me read no any i only leave me alone just go away from me do you hear go away what's the

broadcasting system mr demille and our stars loretta young robert prustin and edward donnell will return in just a moment for act three of the lady from shyan and now for a little demonstration of one striking fact about our product listen to these two girls each typing a letter you'll just heard the difference between two girl typists one very slow the other three times as fast now if you were a business manager and these two girls applied for a job which would you pick what do you say sally the fast one of course she'd have a day's work finished while the first one was just getting started and if you were a busy home manager with a lot of soaps that your groceries applying to you for jobs which would you choose a slow one or one that was three times as fast while the fast one of course and that's why new quickluck wins out because it's so much faster by actual tests in water as cool as your hand it dissolves three times as fast not just twice three times as fast as any of 10 other leading soaps that's big help mr ruik it takes no time at all to do stockings and undies every night with new quickluck it's a wonderful time saver another thing you probably noticed is how little you need to get rich abundant suds new quickluck flakes are thrifty last but not least you can always depend on luck's purity it's the gentlest kind of soap that can be made safe for anything safe in water alone yes there are three very good reasons why american women have chosen new quickluck for their pretty washables by a vote of two to one why twice as many women use it for their nice things as you use any other flakes chips or beads it's fast it's thrifty it's safe don't forget to keep that generous big box handy all the time new quickluck comes in the same familiar package at no extra cost now mr demille returns to the microphone the curtain rises on the third act of the lady from shy and any has gone to the governor's ball filled with a noble sense of duty and half a bottle of elsie's nerve tonic in her new clothes beautiful and radiant she dances with her unsuspecting victim the governor himself governor i hesitate to say it but you're so different from what i imagined really oh yes your beard your beard is beautiful you must have brushed it a great deal governor well yes and you're not old at all why thank you my dear warm in here isn't it governor could we go someplace where it's cool well yes and would you like to step out on the terrace oh thank you isn't it i'm awfully glad to be alone with you that's very nice of you yes isn't it but then you see i have my reason that's why i came here tonight i do hope you're not going to be angry with me too angry yes you see i i really want you to help me with my bill oh and the bill is to give women a franchise that means they can vote women's suffrage yeah now just pretend for a minute that you mr lincoln and you're freeing the slaves like governor you would even look like him if your beautiful beard would are oh would i really oh yes indeed and now you will help me won't you well i'm afraid there's nothing i can do oh you'll have to do some lobbying lobbying oh yes yes well my dear i'm afraid i'll have to join my other guests shall we go inside well thank you governor but if you don't mind i think i'll just stay right out here and think of all you said well of course of course may i have another dance later oh yes thank you evening ma'am oh hello george are you doing fine no i'm not i'm not getting anywhere he told me to go in that lobby again and oh george i sat in that lobby no ma'am he means to lobby that's the way they get everything did in washington oh how do they do it well it's this way lobbying is making use of the fact that the republicans hates the democrat and the democrat hates the republicans so they's already suspicious of each other you just got to help them alone help them along yes now mr fat child he's the leader of the republicans and mr dunbar he's the democrat boss you ought to see both of them thank you george i always miss morgan ma'am you're very very flattering well i'm not at all mr fat child oh mr fat child the governor told me the funniest story about the democrat that's all ma'am you are a republican answer born and bread man well the governor said that all the republicans are so smart they're much smarter than the democrats is that so ma'am oh yes he said that the republicans are all going to vote for the bill tomorrow yeah what bill is that the woman suffrage bill well i didn't think anyone wanted that bill to go through of course they don't they'll turn it down but it will look so good on the record for the republicans to vote for it you see they'll get the credit for being liberal and they still won't lose anything because they'll be letting the democrats vote it down well that's a right smart idea miss morgan every republican in the legislature will vote for that bill tomorrow oh mr fair child are democrats and you are a democrat aren't you a fight in one man i knew you would be and i wanted to tell you how right you were to scold me for that suffrage oh yes indeed the governor himself convinced me how ridiculous it was but he hopes the democrats will vote for it vote for it oh yes don't you see don't you see we're gonna make the republicans vote again well i oh i see man i knew you of course let the republicans vote against this i'll have every democrat in the legislature vote for it oh mr dunbar you're the smartest man of course you know miss morgan you're making quite a spectacle of yourself all the other gentlemen seem to like it miss louis you're quite the bell of the ball so i've been told all evening i want to talk to you come along where out here out in the terrace oh i don't know mr louis i i went for a walk with you at one dance and oh it wasn't very new well you're coming along whether it's amusing or not any any something's gone wrong with me and you're to blame for it i yes you until

brachett leave me and mr demille will bring us news of next week's play not long ago i read somewhere that on the average mrs america spends four years of her life washing dishes four years that's quite a big chunk of time why in four years you can go through college and get a degree in your hands well in a lot less than four years of dishwashing with a harsh soap they can get another kind of degree dh dishpan hands of course it's the wrong kind of soap that gives you dishpan hands millions of women washed dishes for many years yet their hands stay soft and lovely when they use the right kind of flakes flakes mild as the finest toilet soap that's how gentle new quick luxe is you see there's a difference in the way soaps affect your skin soaps containing harmful alkali dry the precious natural oils and soon the skin grows parched and chapped looks red and rough you can be sure you're using soap that's kind to your hands when you stick to new quick luxe it has absolutely no harmful alkali in hundreds of one hand tests of five leading soaps luxe was proved kindest to hands these gentle flakes are thrifty too especially when you buy the economical big box and fast they leave glasses and dishes sparkling in no time begin using new quick luxe flakes for your dishes tomorrow now here's mr. de mille with our stars Loretta young Robert Preston and Edward Arnold have given us
