The Browning Version

From Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theater. Ronald Coleman and Benita Hume in the Browning Version with Robert Douglas. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr Irving Cami. Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, in tonight's play, the Browning Version, we will tell you the story of a man whose devotion to duty cost him his wife

and his self-respect until a small boy teaches him to use his heart to understand the people surrounding him. J. Arthur Rank produced this beautiful motion picture which was released here by Universal International. And as our stars we have Academy Award winner Ronald Coleman and his charming and gracious lady Bonita Hume. Also appearing in this recent stage hit is that fine English actor Robert Douglas.

Now Act 1 of the Browning version starring Ronald Coleman as Mr. Crocker Harris and Bonita Hume as Millie with Robert Douglas as Frank. In the English countryside there's a famous school for boys. It's near the end of a term on this late spring morning and Mr.

Flobish of the headmaster is showing a new teacher through the beautiful old buildings. It's very decent of you to come down Gilbert. After all you had until next term you know. Your self-interest headmaster frankly it terrifies me a little, taking over the lower fifth, replacing Mr. Crocker Harris.

You haven't met him yet, have you? No, sir. I understand that he's been ill. It's poor health, you know, that has caused him to resign. He has insisted, however, on being present, every day during term.

No, then, Gilbert, in this building, you'll find most of our classrooms. That din you hear are Mr. Hunter's scholars in science, upper fifth. They seem to be enjoying themselves, son. They like yourself. Mr. Hunter is a young man.
