The Big Trees

The Iron Horse's Radio and Television Service brings you the Hollywood Radio Fair, starring Van Heffen and Nancy Gates in The Big Trees. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Coney. Reading some Hollywood ladies and gentlemen, in the northern part of California are the glorious Redwoods, giant trees that were full grown thousands of years before our history

began. It's difficult to believe anyone would be mercenary enough to destroy it. But the early days of California such an attempt was made. This is the story of the Big Trees. And as our stars of this action-packed Warner Brothers picture, we have Van Hefflin and Nancy Gates, now act one of the Big Trees starring Van Hefflin as Jim and Nancy Gates as Alicia.

In 1900, the Congress of the United States passed a law that made a man in Wisconsin believe in magic. The magic that makes money grow on trees. His name was Jim Fallon. He was tough, and he was smart.

And he knew that there were big trees in California ready to make him rich. The trouble was that Jim Fallon's lumberjack's in Wisconsin wanted their pay. Jim Fallon needed the money to get started in far off California.

We've spelled big trouble for Mr. Fallon. Shut up! Boss, you better talk to the men. They're pretty mad out there. What's the matter with you, Frenchie? You're supposed to be a pretty good timber boss.

I can't talk to them anymore. They're so charm-franchy. Charm and sincerity that'll do it every time. Without them, no man can afford to be corrupt. Now watch closely. And gentlemen, I want your help. You were at our house now pay for it.
