Transcript

Your family theatre presents Ronda Fleming, Margaret Lindsey and Alan Mobray in The Legacy. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theatre Incorporated brings you the legacy. Starring Margaret Lindsey as Marcia and Ronda Fleming as Anna.

You have produced the drama, your host Alan Mobray. Thank you Gene. Tonight friends, we are happy to have with us two of Hollywood's loveliest stars in a story that would let Margaret Lindsey tell you.

We find her riding one of those very necessary locals, not far from Kansas City, and she is alone with her core. Somehow, that sound is the most lonesome sound in the world. But maybe that's because I feel so alone on a train late at night.

Nothing to look at but green plush seats and sleepy passengers, and my own soul. You see, I'm not used to solitary contemplation. I'm not used to six coach prairie trains that stop at every hip town either.

I'm the kind who travels on the super cheap and spends a night playing gin rummy with names and faces out of the road of Grabure. I'm Marsha Adams and I contact big writers for a big publisher and I'm rich and well dressed and I've taken an express train through life.

Only after what happened today, it seems a little foolish, for I'm not really going anywhere. It all began with a letter I had a few weeks ago. It was marked personal and postmarked in the town in Kansas I've never heard of.

But when I opened it, I heard a voice from the past. Dearest Masha, you've come a long way since we worked together at the Azure republishing house. I see your name in the papers now and then, and I know that you've made a success a success of your career. In fact, I read that you would have been Counts of City for a book fair on the 15th, and that's why I'm writing you.
