The Walls of Jericho

Welcome to Hollywood! The Arab forces radio and television service bring to the Hollywood Radio Theater starring Cornell Wild and Harry Moore in the walls of Jericho. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.

There is a well-known saying there's no fury like that of a woman scorned. And we shall prove it and tonight's play The Walt of Jericho. This best-selling novel by Paul I. Weff Wellman was made into an up-solving motion picture by 20th Century Fox.

And as our stars, Cornell Wild, who is recreating his original role, and lovely Terry Moore, now act one of the walls of Jericho, starring Cornell Wild as Dave and Terry Moore as Judea, the year is 1900-8.

In Washington, Theodore Roosevelt is serving out his last year in the White House. In New York, Wall Street mothers have another financial panic. In Chicago, a woman is arrested and tried on a charge of driving an automobile without the presence of a male escort.

And in Jericho, Kansas, there's talk of paving Main Street. Young Dave Connors, the county attorney, is the moving force behind that project. Right now Dave and his wife Belle are at the supper tables. Yes, what you want?

Good evening, Mrs. Connors. Could I speak to your husband, please, busy? He's eating supper. Oh, but it's terribly important, Mrs. Connors. You mean it to your father again? Yes, ma'am, but I promise this will be the last time.

What you said before? Well, what is it? Nothing, Dave. Just do your normal. Mrs. Connors, please. All right. All right, I'll tell you. What do you want? The usual thing, that drunken father. Oh, now, babe.
