Transcript

From Hollywood, The Hollywood Radio Theater. September, ladies and gentlemen, this is Ken Carpenter. We've chosen the most provocative story. It's a comedy drama which vividly illustrates the importance of forgetting the past and concentrating on the future.

And as our star, we have one of the finest actresses ever to win an Academy Award, Miss Claire Trevor. And now Kathleen Heights story of one last September, starring Claire Trevor as Elizabeth. Ten years ago, if anyone had asked me what I wanted most, I'd have said, let me go to some picturesque spot with enough money to live on and let me paint as I please.

As a matter of fact, that's substantially what happened. Ten years ago, with a small inheritance from my mother, I came to Santa Fe, New Mexico. Since then, I've had enough money to live on, and I've painted as I please.

Now that I look back, I wonder why I didn't add one more requirement. Please let me have talent. In fact, now that I look back, I wonder about a lot of things. Hey Liz. Oh now please, old still can.

I won't be much longer. I'm holding you as a still a fool. Cows are letting me, Liz. We just aren't used to having our portraits painted these cows me. Yeah, don't squint so much. The sun's right in my eye.

Well, I needed that for the shadows. Oh, come on, open your eyes. Look, the car's on squinting. We don't know any better. The shadows are perfect, just perfect. Why don't you just paint the shadows? Leave me in the car, beep.

Ten. Please. Come on, you're proud. Who did? Oh, look, can't you stop bobbing around? I'm not painting a motion picture, you know. You better give it up for the day, Liz. You're just not in the mood.
