The Glass Menagerie

From Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theatre. I'm Wyman Faybater and Frank Lovejoy in the Glass Menagerie. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr Irving Cummings. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

Tonight in Warner Brothers, the Glass Menagerie, we will tell you the story of a young girl who's shyness and sensitivity, prevented her enjoying the usual romantic adventures of young people. Until the advent of a gentleman caller, a young man who was to change the life of a frivolous mother, an erratic brother, as well as her own.

When Charles K. Feldman turned this New York dramatic critic circle award winning play into an unforgettable motion picture, Jane Wyman played the lovely but gibberish daughter, and co-starring with her tonight will be two outstanding artists, Faye Bader in Frank Lovejoy. Now act one of the glass menageries starring Jane Wyman as Laura Wingfield. Faye Bader as Amanda Wingfield and Frank Lovejoy as Tom

Wingfield. Far out on the Atlantic Ocean a lonely little freighter butts away through the murky seas. It's long past midnight. The decks are deserted except for the young man who stands his watch. These are the quiet hours when a man plays solitaire with a deck of old cards in his heart. He remembers places and people. I remember

the city, the washed-ard weary middle of it, and a certain alley, and the grimy brick walls concealing furious and desperate living in the dark and shabby rooms we called our place of residence. It was a light on my sister's collection of glass that first caught my eyes when I woke up in the morning. Little glass animals as fragile as Laura herself.

Bad brother, you'll get out. Tom, it's time to get up. It's after seven. Rise and shine. Oh, all right. But I won't shine. Tom, apologize to Mother. What for? Well, you made a very angry last night, but if you'll apologize, then she'll start speaking.
