Mississippi Gambler

From Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theater. Starring Aaron Power and Linda Christian in the Mississippi Gambling. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Ladies and gentlemen, one of the most colorful eras of American history took place along the mighty Mississippi.

It was a period of gorgeously gowned ladies, escorted by impeccable gentlemen, whose code of manners was determined, whether dancing at fancy balls or gambling on the riverboats. Tonight we recreate this era for you in Universal International's highly dramatic love story, the Mississippi Gambling.

And as our stars, we have chosen a perfect romantic team, Tyrone Power and Linda Christian, in their first appearance together on radio. Now act one of the Mississippi Gambling. Our entire own power is Mark Fallon and Linda Christian as Angelique Duro.

I first met Mark Fallon in the spring of 1853. I was on the dock in St. Louis waiting just for the likes of him, a green young stranger begging to have his bankroll license. I wandered over to the freight shed, took out a deck of cards, and started laying them down in a barrel.

down in the barrel. You're sure having a time with those cards, and as to I've been watching you. You have? I hope you don't mind. Don't mind it off, son. All I'm doing is making the fool out of myself.

You see these three cards? Well, sir, there was this traveling man last night. He just laid these three cards down on the table and bet me $20. I couldn't tell him which one was the queen.

You sure he was a traveling man? Oh, no doubt about that, son. He even had his sample cases with him. Well sir, I swore I knew where the Queen was every time. By Jingle and I bet my $20.
