The Fall of Maggie Phillips

From Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theater. There in the fall of Maggie Phillips. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Ken Carpenter. Have you ever noticed one of those demure young ladies in the lending library of a small town and wondered if anything exciting had ever happened in her life or ever would?

Well, in tonight's play, Miss Maggie Phillips has her entire life changed just by entering a contest. And as a star of this gay romance, we're privileged to present one of the finest actresses anywhere Miss Dorothy McGuire.

And now Miss Dorothy McGuire, starring in Kathleen Heights, the life full romance, The Fall of Maggie Phillips. The fall of Maggie Phillips began in the spring. But it's doubtful that anyone in Fremontville noticed its beginning.

The talk in the small Northern California town centered on the melding snows on the mountains. The apricot and almond groves in full bloom in the valley. The great perfusion of violets on the lawns and the greater confusion of walnut tassels on the sidewalk.

For 35 spring Maggie Phillips felt content to watch the snows meld on the mountains. The groves burst into blossom the violets the walnut tassels. But this year, well as Maggie put it, there's got to be more.

You say something dear? I said there's got to be more. Oh, I don't see a single book on the shelves I want to read. And dear, you've mumbled something to the window several times now.

Something wrong, Clara. You were 35 once, weren't you? Uh, yes, Maggie. I was 35 just... Well, don't be silly, of course I was. Well, at all in the world it's wrong with me. I'm 35, I'm single, and it's spring.
