From Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theater. From Allison and Jeff Chandler in Because of You. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Ladies and gentlemen, it's the frightening experience of some people to discover that a youthful mistake can haunt them all the rest of their lives.
And in tonight's play Because of You, we will tell you the story of a young girl who made the mistake of hiding a past. and who lives a lie which threatens to destroy her future. And as our stars of this poignant drama from the Universal International Studios, we have June Allison in one of our most sympathetic portrayals, co-starring with that excellent
actor, Jeff Chandler. Now, because of you, starring June Allison as Christine and and Jeff Chandler as Steve. I first met Christine Carroll 1944. Like all newcomers to the state prison for women, she was brought to my office for an interview.
A young, good-looking girl, first offender. She'd been sentenced for two years. You can sit down, Christine. This is Mrs. Gordon. She's Nathan here. We're going to put you to work, Christine. You'll be assigned to the textile mill.
Now we have better jobs, but it's all going to depend on you. I don't plan to give you any trouble. Well, I know that you were arrested with a man named Mike Monroe. Monroe was found guilty of armed robbery.
Most of the money was in your possession. Is that true? Mike gave me a package. I didn't know what was in it. You were his girl, weren't you? We were going to be married if that's what you mean.
But you knew nothing of his criminal activities? No. You expect me to believe that? The jury didn't believe me either. That's why I'm here. Indeed you are. And the time you spend here can wreck your entire life.
