Orson Welles presents his radio adaptation of George S. Kaufman's play I Lost My Girlish Laughter, a satire of Hollywood, on The Campbell Playhouse, broadcast January 27, 1939. Playwright John Tussler meets film producer Sidney Brand, who wants to buy his play Sinners in Asylum for the screen. Brand's studio, Superfilms, plans to star the European actress Saya Tarn, and Tussler is brought in to write the screenplay. The studio's demands and Brand's chaotic working methods begin to clash with Tussler's wish to keep his play intact.

Transcript
The makers of Campbell's Sups present the Campbell Playhouse, Boston Wells, producer. This is Orson Wells. Hollywood is where the movies come from, and relevant to tonight's broadcast, nobody's had more fun poking fun at Hollywood than George Kaufman.
I have referenced not only to Merton of the movies and once in a lifetime, but also to the whole legend of things George Kaufman has said about the movies. I lost my girlish laughter as the name of tonight's broadcast, and it's the best seller which it deserves to be. And tonight, besides Mr. Kaufman, other guests on the Campbell
Playhouse, Ilka Chase, who's been very important in the animal kingdom, the women, and a dozen other Broadway hits. And tomorrow, Javer, who is a graduate of Zig Field Swoopy, Gordon's Three's a Crowd, Wyman's on your toes, and just last season, the extremely successful London production of Idiot's Delight. There's also Frank redick, Agnes Morehead, Myron McCormick, Ray Collins, and finally our author herself.
But just now I'd like you to hear a word from Ernest Chappell. Each far evening since the new Campbell Playhouse broadcast began, I've been talking to you about Campbell's chicken soup. Tonight I want to tell you some things about the most popular soup in all the world, Campbell's tomato soup.
Year by year, day in and day out, this one soup is served more often than any other. You and I could sweep across the country looking in at dining-room windows any noon or any night.
We'd see again and again people drawing up their chairs to bright steaming plates of Campbell's tomato soup. These are facts. You can check them with your own grocer and among your friends. Why is this one soup so often eaten by so many people?
One reason is that mothers like to serve it to their families, particularly their children, because it provides the nourishment of fresh, sun-ripe and the tomatoes. Then people are captivated by its inviting color and its delightful smoothness.
But the reason most folks like to have it is its flavor. It's a magic flavor created by an exclusive recipe of superb, luscious tomatoes, fine table butter and delicate seasoning. People say the flavor of Campbell's tomato soup cannot be matched and indeed it has something about it that folks never tire of, that young and old enjoy
again and again each time it's served, each spoonful they sit. Are you at your house enjoying Campbell's tomato soup often these days? And now for tonight's story. Orson Wells in his own radio arrangement of the best teller I lost my girlish laughter with Ilka Chase, Kamara Jiva, and the distinguished American playwright George Kaufman
making his debut on the air tonight as an actor. Good evening, Mr. Tuffler. Thank you, sir. Tell him the name of the Tuffler. Oh, fine, thanks. Fine, sir. Mr. Anders, come in yet. Didn't see him at the Tuffler.

Can I trip out? Yes, Mr. Very nice with the very nice people. No, I'm speaking to Roy. I beg your pardon. Yeah, Chief. Tuffler, yeah. We're going to do things this way, if you're Tuffler.
It'll cost a million dollars before you can get on the set. And what a cast I'm giving you. Sire time. Europe's most glamorous Tuffler. And I'm working on a deal for Tyrone Power. My own power.
Gee, Chief, he'll be perfect. Thanks, Roy. Hey boys, this is Tutsler. Tutsler, Mr. Fade. Go and direct your picture. He is picture? Well, he wrote to play, you know. Oh, he wrote to play. Tutsler, he's doing the adaptation of your play, Skinner.
How are you? I'm pretty well- thanked. You're a tough-to-play person. And this is Roy, my brother-in-law. He's my assistant. I'm very happy to meet you, Mr. Tutsler. All right, now let's get down to business.
Now, boys, the important thing is to stick as close as possible to the original play. After all, there are a lot of people in New York who have paid good money to see this play, so it must have something.
But of course, we have to remember the Hayes office. now i get my song about about it but when they saw my script it'd be in my usual good taste in their sand delicacy they said to me okay brand we trust you to do the right thing now boy i can't let them know
yeah you know what to do we never let you down here and roe i'd be sure to get down it will be very important yeah okay but of course we're changing the theme of the play uh... you understand that don't you talk about well uh... mister brand yes tusla hi well let us go it's not the
don't be back full tusla we're all a big family here and i'll get a yes for Now we're paying Tesla a fortune to write this annotation. All right, so he's one of the three greatest American playwrights, but has he ever written for the screen? No.
What are his screen credits? None, but you, Skinner, you know what it's all about, depending on you for the finest screenplay of the year. You never know who we might even win the Academy Award.
You're a thankful one, Cheats. That was a rotten deal you got last year. You're right. Thank you, Roy. Roy, you're sure you're getting everything down? Oh, yes, Cheats. I'll be one. Good. Now, Skinner, this is a suggestion, but bear in mind while you're writing.
This is the first time Sawyer-Tarnasen presented the American public. She's got to be a sympathetic character. Now the name of your play Mr. Tussler is not a sympathetic character, so we've got to make time more sympathetic.
Mr. Brant, may I point out that the girl is not supposed to be particularly sympathetic? The whole play happens to be based on the premise that it takes too long to do. I just leave everything to me, Tussler, and I hear this girl of yours.
Yes, she is. Did all her life on an island off the African coast? Africa? Hey, Chief. Africa, are you by any chance referring to my play so there's no silence to Brant? Certainly, Tussler. Your play.
Now this here girl has never known a mother's love and her old man was killed with her mother when she was a baby. The only love she's known is from animals and the kindly natives of the village.
So she is naive. But on the inside there is a roaring volcano. Her mother's Spanish blood. I get what you mean, Steve, I get it. Now go ahead, Skinner. Now here in this primitive background, uh, say, Alex has some camera angles, but no 57 takes.
I don't need a 57 takes. No, it's good. I've got anything to do with this kind of thing. You better say. That's right. I'd say, kid, maybe we could trade some dough by picking up some stock shots from bringing back a lot.
back alive thanks Roy hey what do you mean stock shots this is a major super film but on the other hand that might not be a better day of shooting pick up what this brand i'm worried i don't see where saw your turn has a fire for this role hey i'll see to it that she gives you plenty of fire boy i can just see
you in all the Spanish in a brake loose like an animal she scratches back when she comes face to face with an artificial civilization she's got to be changed she's a wild thing with a with bars around her she's caged Okay, wait a minute.
What a title. Lady in a cage. Scratch, what a title. Thanks Roy. Lady in a cage. Yeah, great, ain't it? Great, ain't it? That's well. That's well. What's the matter, Tuffler? Oh, nothing. All right ahead.
Tuffler, I'm beginning to wonder. Oh, you really have to. I just sort of an angle on the love interest. Yeah, terrific. Yeah, listen. You have a game living on the outpost of civilizations. Yeah, beautiful.
Luscious. He's primeval. Yeah. He's everything to drive a man crazy. Now this is my idea. This is Shipwreck and her own powers have washed up on the shore. He got this down. He wakes up to find this gorgeous creature looking down at him.
There's a passion flower in her hair. That's symbolic. He stares at her. He runs away frightened. He follows. The gentleman may I point out for the last time that that was not my idea when I wrote to him.
I just read a letter to Tesla and you too, Faye. This girl wouldn't run away. She wouldn't be afraid. Now remember, she may be naive, but insider is this flame. The Spanish blood. No, I still think she's run away.
Hey, hey, why should we argue about female psychology when the man who wrote the play is right here in this room. Let that tuckler what you would do, not tuckler. Listen to me, stay carefully.
Yes, sir. It's, uh, it's moonlight tuckler. Got that? We have a long shot of the jungle, and the jungle moon hanging low. Into the camera comes soya tung. Chanting a naked blood saw. Camera follows her as he dances into the waves.
Certainly she sees something. Stop! looking down at Tyrone Power's face. He opens his eyes, blindly he raises up his hand and cuts it. Got that toddler? I've got it. She's warm, alive. He leaps to his feet, cuts.
Mind you, Tyrone Power is the first white man Tarn has ever seen. All the dormant woman in her comes to life. He makes her grab for her. Now, touch her. If you were that girl, if you were there on that tropical beach with Tyrone Power, What would you do?
Well, I'll tell you. Now remember, he's Spanish. Yes, I remember him. He's a great man. I owe power. Yes, I'll tell you. Go on. Go on. I'll feel this way. In a situation of that kind, I'm not sure the public has been quenched.
You see, why don't I tell you that proves my point? Well, boy, that's enough of today. We've gone a long way on tussets. It's been great having you here. You were invaluable. And now I've got to get home.
My wife's going to have a baby. Uh, no, there's Mr. Brown. I'm Ms. Lawler. Where's Ms. Lawant? We didn't expect new economy-friendly. Oh, Mr. Brand, what are you doing in the hospital? What's happened? Come in, man.
What's happened? Baby's doing him in a minute now. That's what's happened. I didn't somebody tell me having a baby would like this. Sit down, sit down, man. My hand's over. Oh, no. It's getting me another set of things.
I'm getting a piece of staff and getting a week. Man, what are you doing here? You sent for me, Mr. Brand. Oh, yes. You've got to get to work. Get me to wardrobe department. Call off my lunch in the corner.

The rich, racy taste of your first spoonful seems to hit the spot, and by the time your plate is empty, Campbell's tomato soup has revived you and fortified you.
No other soup in all the world has quite the keen, lively flavor that this one has. No other soup is such a worldwide favorite. Especially right now, Campbell's tomato soup is a wholesome, sustaining dish to have often.
Enjoy it for lunch or supper, or as a first course for family dinner, and serve it sometimes as cream of tomato, adding milk instead of water. water cold days are soup days time for Campbell's tomato soup and now back to the Campbell playhouse hello mr.

Don't let Haywood talk you and anything stop. Why did it have to be Haywood aren't there any other agents of the business stop, regardless, Sydney? Yes, Mr. Brown? Match.
Farmer up there, and Skinner. Yes, sir. And Cottler. Yes, Mr. Brown. Send him in. You come in, too. Yes, Mr. Brown. Gentlemen, the master will conserve with you. It goes without saying it's important. He wants me to.
He always does. After you, gentlemen. Now, boys, I want you all to hear this. Hey, see, Matt, take it down. Gentlemen, we've just signed Bruce Andrews. Now, we've got to have a new angle on his Bruce Andrews.
Bruce Andrews, what did he get here? I'm a new plane. Roy's meeting him. Roy, you're welcome. Photography's the Porto's. All right. Good. Now then, why shouldn't we build up a new type leading man? For 1,500 a week, we should do something with him.
Leland Haywood, that were off. Well, I was talking to my wife, De De De La Lassain, about the cycle of the movie heroes. uh... film is very intelligent about such a story from that issue the fine memory to one she sees a patient of the field of interest i can't even remember names like
what are we talking about it like all of the best of that cycles of the people are over the last eight months and then the fresh guys left the girl down in the window is the screwball boy that's a good for your very word and uh... now we've reached the tail end of the cycle course you say things do
it start all over again to begin but that's obvious no a new ball of reading I see Mr. Brand. I see Mr. Brand. Any particular type in mind? There's something in what you say, Tuffin.
I guess it must be a particular type. What women want today is the romantic gallant, gentle, passionate. But manly, manly, what women want today is Brum Sanders. Hello, Mr. Brand Secretary. My moment, please. Mr. Ogleb, thanks for my damn calling, Mr. Brand.
I'll take a gap. What is it now? Look here, Ogle. I've had just about enough double crossing out of here. What? Yeah? Oh. Oh, here we go. You really mean? Georgie, aww, Georgie. I knew I could count on you.

Yeah, what about the romantic cycle? Oh, uh, let's go on and end this. How about Andes, what do we do? I need rid of him. If you'll be here any minute now. Now, I'll do something.
Stop him, Parma. You've got to keep Andes picture out of the papers. I don't want to worry about him, printed. I want to see him and I don't hear from him. We've got to get rid of him.
Come on. Oh, hey, Mr. Brown, isn't that kind of power? I know we give him a dark house. We'll make it to him, pleasant for him. He'll break his own congress. We'll make a test of him that'll frighten his own mother.
He may be a romantic galant, but it's strictly a law appeal. All right, Tesla. All right. Can I help but this business is full of heartaches. and I've got show profits. Now get busy everybody.
Get busy. And match. Back to bed my wife on the phone. I've got to tell her the good news. That's what makes the day for Selma. Yes Mr. Brad. Can you imagine that? We got my power.
Come on, Selma. Whew. Well, can they make the day for Selma? But what about Bruce Sanders? He's a friend of yours, isn't he? Yeah. You know, sometimes I wonder how me and like brains can sleep at night.
Why, he sure got that stuff. What, I knock him through a loaf. Whew, who are you talking about Roy? That lady man, the boss hired from New York. He's the nuts. Who's the nuts? Prochandish, he arrived.
He's right outside. Boy, can a boss pick him. It will calm down, Roy. And there's going to meet that build up now. Oh, what do you mean? There's been a slight change of plan, Roy.
Yeah? Yeah. We've got Tyrone Power. Try your own power. Oh, boy, can a boss pick him. Hey, magic. What are we going to throw at him, this? What would you do with him, Roy? Well, Jay, I don't know.
Not that we've got trial power. Send Mr. Anders in, Roy. Short thing, Meg. How much do Anders? We have something here, please. Thank you. Sorry, Meg. Hello, Anders. How are you? Hi, Mr. Tussler. Hello.
Nice to see you. How's your picture coming along? Surprisingly. Oh, this Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Anders. She's almost human. Sure she is. How do you do, Mr. Anders? I suppose I ought to say hello to Mr. Brand.
Oh, Mr. Anders, I am afraid I'm Mr. Apologize, Mr. Brand. He's out of town today. but he has read for us to do anything we could for you to work and help you get settled and well we get well the car here to take you to a hotel well how nice everybody is I'm saying mr. Tusser yes everybody is just wonderful
and there's and I've never been out here before mr. Andrews I haven't you know I've always been kind of scared and suspicious about Hollywood but you know back in New York we think mr. Brand's the only man out here with vision and integrity don't we mr. Tusser you took the words right out of my mouth
You'll let me know what happens to me next, won't you Miss Lawrence? Oh, Mr. Brand will tell you very soon, I'm sure, Mr. Andres. Yeah, something tells me I'm about to beat Mr. Brand to it, Miss Lawrence.
Uh, what would you say to a little lunch, Anders? I'd say, well... Oh, Mr. Tuffler, I, uh, I don't think I would if I were you. Don't give it another touch, Miss Lawrence. Uh, by the way, uh, you don't know anything about this lunch.
Don't forget. Me? I haven't heard a word, Mr. Tuffler. Ah, I knew you were that kind, the girl. Come along, Andrew. Don't you like this, my dear? An amateur aviator. Don't bother, Rosebud, be in his old plane.
And Mr. Bland, that door does not to be disturbed. Oh, sweet. Mr. Bland's been in his office all morning, following Lee Lynn Haywood's flight on the radio. He's been everybody around here that he breaks the record.
Oh, he won, I did. How good heavens are you, Miss Haywood? I am. Oh, well, just a minute, Mr. Haywood. Oh, don't bother to announce me. I want to surprise old Sydney. He'll be surprised, all right.
Oh, Sydney, how are you? How's the baby? I broke the record. I want to drink. Well, say, by the way, what to do? You think you're trying to pull off with Andy? Oh, uh, uh, uh, that was a great flight, Leeland.
A great flight, I was betting on you all the way, Leeland. I say that. I haven't much time, Sidney. Yeah, what's wrong, Leeland? Oh, it's mere trifle, Sidney. Just a misunderstanding, I'm sure. I hear you're planning to put power in Andy's part, after all.
Now, look here, Leeland. I'm not quarreling about power, but why do you have to put Andy's on the spot? I get up a Broadway successor come out here and you're trying to get in to break his contract.
Oh, what? The picture business will think he flopped and I can't sell him. Now, Sidney, is that kind? I'm a business man, Leelonotic, you'll mandatory. In this case, Sidney, you're going to be a humanitarian and like it.
I don't know how carefully you read and his contract, Sidney. In case your mind isn't fresh on the thing, let me recall to you, Clause C, Section B. And Bruce Anderson's full recompense shall be the salary specified and the prestige of playing the leading role in said Sidney brand production.
You get it, Sidney? The salary and the privilege of playing the leading role. Get it? What have I got a legal department for? To improve your golf game, no doubt. It's been pleasant seeing you, Sydney.
Give my regards to someone, the baby. I got an opening in New York tonight. Goodbye, Sydney. Mitch, Mitch! Get over to it, Mr. Brown. Am I warden of one? OK, Mr. Brown. All right, baby.
It's time. You called, Mr. Payne? Yeah. We're ready to take the beach scene now. You got it all straight? I think, Mr. Payne. I come up the beach. No, you come. Come down from this jungle over there.
The drums are beating, throbbing in your blood. You're quiet! You're happy as the day is long. You tried not to stumble over the mangrove roots. Quiet! On the beach you see this man. That's Mr. Anders.
Mr. Anders was found. We've met before. How did he? He's the first white man you ever seen in your life. He's lying there. You see him. You stop. You take a step towards him. He moves.
He reaches up. You scream. He opens his eyes. He says, Where am I? You say, Who are you? He says, I believe, Pucheson, of Virginia, then you say, my name, Tahini. He says, Tahini, you are beautiful.

It was a conspiracy, yes. Chaiya, please. The picture's more than half shot, Chaiya. I don't care how much it's shot. If you're a picture, rather than work out of the juxtaposition, well, how's it? You're a scientist.
Don't do that, Chaiya. I'm an artist. I know. And you're a poet with the greatest direction. I know you have. I know. I know. I'll have faith down here. I'll make him apologize. I know it's a fire in that. What I'll do a fire in what do you think he is? I'll show
him who's boss around here. Now say please for my sake. Say it. Will you finish the picture. Yes. Yeah. Say it. It may have so good to me. Say it. You're tired. That's what it is. I had one of this picture They'll beg you, Miss Galway, and have a nice rest.
To go right, Houston. But it's so dreamy. I'll find, uh, we'll get somebody to go with you, and maybe I'll go along myself. Sorry, would you finish the picture? Yeah, Sydney. You're so kind. So simple, Seth.
Well, that's settled, man. That's settled. You go back on the picture. Yes, I go back. Or do you send me for you? I'll go back. Heads, the Sydney Brand subject lady in a cage. This is to advise you that lady in a cage, formerly tinners in asylum, goes back for retakes.

Take your jolt, Mr. Tuffler. What is Hollywood, Mr. Tuffler? I find, find. Oh, my wife's coming yet? I haven't seen it. Jimmy, have you seen Mr. Tuffler tonight? No, I haven't seen it yet, Mr. Tuffler.

You have to be honest. You will not let you down in the future. Ladies and gentlemen, what an all foreign white eye. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Brand. You have just heard I lost my girly schlafter, starring our producer Wells as the producer Sidney Brand.
And here he is, Orson Wells. Ladies and gentlemen, I've asked our announcer and his chapel to allow me to interrupt him for a moment to invite you to join George Kaufman, a chase tomorrow J. Allen, the originator of tonight's story, and a somewhat peculiar little ceremony we are holding tonight in the latter's honor.
It's this way, right now, all that any of us on the Campbell Playhouse know for certain about Jane Allen. The author of tonight's story is that Jane Allen is not the author of tonight's story. Jane Allen is a phony, I mean the name Jane Allen is a phony. The real name of the perpetrator of I Lost My Gourlish Laughter is a well-kept secret with
its publishers who have promised to present our authors tonight and think they can do it without revealing her identity or his identity or their identity, whatever it may be. This is a good trick if Random House Incorporated can do it. But George Kaufman, Elka Chase tomorrow, Javen, myself thinks they can't. And just one minute, Jane Allen is actually
going to pay us a visit. We calculate that between us we can expose her or him or their more it and we'd like you to help to consider yourself pleased for tonight, a full member of our special secret service.
To one to unmask all authors and authors to the last poison pen name and standby for orders. When talking about Campbell's tomato soup a while ago, I pointed out that it has a flavor people never seem to tire of.
That is so. From the first taste, it wins you completely. And then as long as you know it, as many times as you have it, your pleasure in it continues. Perhaps it's the fresh taste of sun ripened tomatoes or the table butter that enriches it, or the delicacy of the seasoning.
I think it's all of these that account for the always welcome flavor of Campbell's tomato soup. And I do urge you to have it often, as the mainstay of the day's lighter meal, as the pleasant start for dinner.
And sometimes to have it as cream of tomato with milk added instead of water. But is it on your Saturday shopping list? Put it down, won't you? Campbell's tomato soup, several cans. And now, here's Orson Well.
Yes, Ernest Chapel, but where is Jane Allen? Well, I'm sorry, Orson. I haven't the slightest ideas. Ladies and gentlemen, I have every reason to believe that Mr. Chapel speaks the truth, because, as I think, I've already told you, nobody on this program has the slightest idea who the author of this story really is.
We only know that I lost my girlish laughter with credited on its title page to somebody who calls herself, or himself, or themself. Jane Allen. Well, I think I can tell you this much, Orson.
In checking the channel to Columbia's private studio, we've heard Ms. Allen on the microphone, and she is certainly a lady. Well, that's very nice of you. And it's very nice to hear. Let's see now.
We know that our author is connected in some capacity with the motion picture industry, and perhaps two for even more interesting reasons. She has insisted on an absolutely all-around anonymity. And now we know something more about her.
We know she isn't a man, and that's something. Secret 8 and H, 204, George Kaufman, reporting for service. Yes, H, 204. Orson, if Jane Allen is actually secreted someplace in the Columbia Broadcasting System, why can't we trace her just that way?
Sorry, George, but the rules don't permit it. If we knew what Jane Allen was going to broadcast from, we could simply surround whatever place it is with inquisitive friends of ours and the game would be up.
Oh, all right. We could operate an Ilka Chase reporting for duty, and I have a theory. Yes, operator Chase. My honk here is that this Allen woman is a collective, eccentric story about Hollywood, and that I lost my girlish laughter is simply a conduction.
I agree. Very well inspected, tomorrow, Javer. And now I think it's about time that we put the whole thing squarely up to its originator, Commissioner Ernest Chappell. Are you ready with Secret Studio X? Yes, Inspector.
Here we are. Are you ready Miss Allen? Ready for anything. Is your name Jane Allen? Yes, Mr. Kaufman for wanted, but better. Animal vegetable or mineral. If Inspector Kaufman will have the goodness to stop grilling, I guess, Devan.
I'd like to preserve the aminities and present it to you. Thank you, awesome wells and good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Now Miss Allen, I'd like to ask your question. I must warn you that anything you say will be used by Inspector Kaufman, and chase besides your audience and myself in our unrelenting efforts to unmask you.
Mrs. Allen, how did you come to write, I lost my girlish laughter. Because I got cheated out of a permanent. Commissioner Chappell, did you hear what I heard? Well, it sounded like the lady said she was cheated out of a permanent.
Now, look here, Mrs. Allen, I've never been to Hollywood. I mean to Hollywood to make a picture. Could you please clarify that last statement in words of one syllable? Well, it seems that a writer came into our office. The boss was in conference.
That would be Sidney Brand. The boss was in conference. So this writer approaches me at the desk. He asked him, do I know what? He's beside the sunny, shining, bright golden rays of sheer joy.
A new sit here, chained to your desk. Well, to make a long story short, he sells me. And before I know it, he's parted me from the five dollars I have saved for a permanent.
I see. Well, that just sort of got me to thinking about writers and about books. I thought how nice it would be to be a successful writer, to sell a couple of million copies, to sell the movie rights, the stage rights, the television rights, the submarine rights, to make a million dollars without having to punch a time clock every day to collect your salary.
Miss Allen, did you make a million dollars? How? No, I did not, Mr. Kaufman, but there are other compensation. Yes? Well, you're mine, and there you are, and these are tomorrow, Javer. What I mean to say is you certainly meet some interesting people, even though you don't get to see them.
And Miss Allen, did all those things you wrote about really happen to you? Miss Chase, I lost my girlish laughter is a novel. and a novel is fiction. By the way, Miss Allen, I don't know why I'm asking this, but...
Have you seen any good plays lately? Oh, yes, Miss Kaufman. I saw the opening of your new play, the American Waylusty. You don't say it. And may I say, it is one of the most moving and memorable things I've ever spent your fear.
In fact, a Kaufman, can you tell me why you asked that last question? Elementary, my dear, well, the elementary. The word child's play of deduction. That proves towards the Jane Allen is in New York.
Among other things. Now tell me, Jane, if I may call you Jane, and I might just work hard your Jane is anything else are you planning to write another book I'm afraid I've exhausted Hollywood for the time being and now I'm looking for a new field oh good and you know Mr. Wells I've always been curious
about radio and for what I can gather from this broadcast it looks like a very yes yes Jane just what are you getting at very nice meeting you very nice telling your story and very nice trying to find you all right what they think your name is on a small flip of white paper which I will immediately burn to a crisp so
all things have been very pleasant and when you've written your next book the book about radio and the wild men from Borneo who put on radio shows please Jane let us put it into a radio show until then the campable playoffs has always remained obedient to yours and you miss Ellen I promise you will remain shrouded
in the deepest suit and image and now in a chapel you please divulge the real name for the people who played with us tonight I lost my girlish laughter well to begin with Orson Wells was Sidney Brand the George Kaufman was tussler Ilka Chase This was Mads Lawrence and the Tomata Jiva was Saudi at time.
Faye was played by Ray Collins, Palmer by Frank Redick, Roy by Everett Flohn. Edgar Barrier played the part of Bruce Anders, Myron McCormick impersonated Leeland Hayward. The part of Francis Smith was played by Agnes Mourdhead, Raleigh by Joseph Cotton.
William Allen was the assistant director, and the music for the Campbell Playhouse was conducted by Bernard Herman. And now, Orson, will you tell us about next week's story? Next week the American nation observes the president's birthday by aiding him in his fight against infantile paralysis by dancing so that others may walk and next week we bring you one of America's foremost actresses
in a story by one of America's foremost authors. It has been of immeasurable importance in bringing home to the American people the necessity for an organized fight against disease. Ladies and gentlemen, next week's broadcast will be an adaptation of Aerosmith by St. Crale Lewis and our guest will be Helen Hayes.
Until next Friday night until Aerosmith, my sponsor, the makers of Campbell's Sups, and all of us in the Campbell Playhouse remain obediently yours. The makers of Campbell's Suits join Arts and Wells in inviting you to be with us at the Campbell Playhouse next Friday evening to hear Aerosmith starring Miss Helen Hayes.
Meanwhile, if you have enjoyed tonight's Campbell Playhouse presentation, won't you tell your growth to so tomorrow when you order Campbell's tomato soup? This is Ernest Tappell saying thank you and good night. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
