Well. As this is our twelve thousand, four hundredth episode 10 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,599 special, We're going to bring you an hour long episode, and I've chosen 11 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:26,920 something a little bit unusual. Anthony Adverse was a very well known historical epic 12 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,599 novel during the golden age of radio. It's a reference to every now and 13 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,680 again. When I first listened to this studio one adaptation of a portion of 14 00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:41,480 the novel, it really occurred to me that there were a lot of elements 15 00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:47,959 of the detective story, as Anthony Adverse was essentially task with solving a mystery 16 00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:55,200 involving some missing ship owners, as well as a missing collection. Myther reason 17 00:01:55,239 --> 00:02:00,640 for choosing to do it now is that it does feature a Bud Callier here 18 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,920 referred to as Clayton Collier, which is his given name, but he was 19 00:02:06,079 --> 00:02:10,960 known for many things on radio, but most notably playing Superman. And we've 20 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,120 been doing the Old Time Radio Superman Show for the past ten years, and 21 00:02:16,159 --> 00:02:20,439 we are nearing the end of that run at the end of February. So 22 00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:23,639 I love this would be a good time to trot out Anthony Adverse as you're 23 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,080 going to hear Studio One had a definite production style, and I think you're 24 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:36,400 going to enjoy the next hour program. The original air date on today's episode 25 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:42,919 was October fourteenth of nineteen forty seven.

Story is known 34 00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:03,080 and loved by million and now to introduce Tonight's great story, here's the director 35 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,080 of Studio one, Letcher Michael Anthony Adversus Squire, a young man whose story 36 00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:13,800 captured a million readers fourteen years ago and has enjoyed an uninterrupted popularity ever since, 37 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,160 comes to our microphone tonight at the age of twenty six, about to 38 00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:20,680 set out for a new world. Like the whole span of his tempestuous life, 39 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:26,600 Antony's adventures among the slave traders in eighteenth century Cuba are crowded with romance 40 00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:30,120 and tropical intrigue and the bright magic of a youthful quest. As lively as 41 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:36,160 fireworks and as tender as starshine, life with Antony is seldom uneventful Tonight. 42 00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:41,240 In Vincent mcconnor's version. For listening of Antony's Interlude in Cuba, you'll be 43 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,319 hearing Clayton Collier in the title role, Mercedes McCambridge as Dolores Miriam Wolfers Nallata, 44 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,639 and, among other divertisements, the songs of Signorino Venturro. Lanodomian has 45 00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:55,680 composed a special musical score which takes us first to an Italy of seventeen ninety 46 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:15,839 six. You wanted to see me, mister bonnifeller, Lad, I'd like 47 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,879 a bit of discussion with you, if it concerns a young lady and the 48 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,600 brawl I had last night when I visited a certain tavern. I've had something 49 00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:29,600 of your most recent indiscretions magnified and colored far beyond the truth. I fear 50 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,000 he's quite likely. Nevertheless, is also true that you've been seeing more than 51 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,279 a bit of that little actress, the one you called you in your sleep, 52 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:41,519 Angela. Oh she has broken my heart. If I were you had 53 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,720 not permit these youthful love affairs to make me melancholy. Oh why am I 54 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,079 so restless? The times are disturbed, all the talk of Napoleon seizing the 55 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:56,399 continent. He lives dangerously. This corsicn Anthony as your guardian, I've been 56 00:05:56,399 --> 00:06:00,560 aware of your great restlessness for some time, and I believe that I've found 57 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,279 a solution for it. Oh, you should go away, change this place 58 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,399 for another. Leave my beloved Italy. You need to go out into the 59 00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:15,240 world and prove yourself to the world and yourself, Anthony. I want you 60 00:06:15,319 --> 00:06:18,160 to go on a journey and collect a large debt that is owed to me 61 00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:24,480 thousands of thouars thousand. I'm sending you to Cuba. Cuba, an island 62 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:29,199 noted for its beautiful women. I have heard, never my what you've heard. 63 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,600 Listen to me. Now. You may have known already that we've had 64 00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:36,360 extensive dealings with the form of Geego and Son in Havana. I have checked 65 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,839 many an invoice for cargoes which we shipped them in the past. They paid 66 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,519 their debts with great promptness, but for more than a year now I've been 67 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,560 unable to collect so much as a Spanish dollar from them. Today I received 68 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,199 a letter from an agent, Carlo Chibo, telling me that the Gayegos have 69 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:57,199 disappeared, both of them, father and son. This begins to sound most 70 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,839 intriguing. What previded Sanuo Chibo from writing sooner? You shall see when you 71 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:06,079 meet him is a great fat, lazy procrastinator, an excellent businessman, but 72 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,360 not disposed to work. You already have passage for me, my lad the 73 00:07:10,439 --> 00:07:13,240 break wamp and o egg out of the town of Providence, which is in 74 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,959 the Rhode Island. Captain Elishah Jorham expects your board ship as soon after sunset 75 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,439 as possible. You must slip out to sea undetected. All ships have been 76 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,600 ordered to remain in the harbor. How can I ever thank you for all 77 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,519 you've done, mister Bonnifeather, by collecting this debt for me in Havana. 78 00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:32,439 I will not enjoy saying farewell. Let us never say farewell, lad. 79 00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:36,759 We shall have a glass of wine together, but no farewells I cannot abide 80 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:51,759 them. June ninth, seventeen ninety six, Dear mister Bonnifeather, I want 81 00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:56,439 to write and tell you of my voyage. The night of our farewell, 82 00:07:56,519 --> 00:08:01,079 two bearded Yankee sailors rode me out to the wamp and our and in the 83 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,399 darkness the brigantine slipped out of the harbor of the Vorno in a following wind 84 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,160 with nothing but her set. The cannon on the shore sent several shots after 85 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,360 us, but Captain Joram made sail and the ship rushed forward into the open 86 00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:24,079 sea. It was many weeks later when I had my first sight of the 87 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:33,200 New World, the long blue coasts of Cuba. That night, Captain Joram 88 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,279 and his wife gave a little dinner to celebrate our safe arrival. As we 89 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,200 dined, the three of us in the captain's cabin, a young seaman sat 90 00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:45,559 cross legged on a sea chest and played a guitar. Mister edver, she's 91 00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:48,480 been a long vige. Did I give you now a toast to safe arrival 92 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,879 in Cuba? Wheel chalk in the morning, I drink to your seamanship, 93 00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:56,360 Captain Joram. How filthy climate it is in Cuba. From my point of 94 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:03,120 view here and my wife her memories in Nantucket, the heat makes me yearn 95 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:07,399 for cranberry bogs and fish chowder. As for me, I'll take the trapics 96 00:09:07,639 --> 00:09:11,720 and rum ha ha ha. You have made my voyage most pleasant. There 97 00:09:11,799 --> 00:09:15,879 is not some way I can repay your kindness. After we land in Havana, 98 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,240 there is aye. There is escort my wife through all the churches in 99 00:09:20,279 --> 00:09:26,639 Havana. The churches, it's her New England conscience. Lad She's to vote 100 00:09:26,639 --> 00:09:30,879 into visiting cemeteries and contained roos. We shall hire a carriage. Missus Joram 101 00:09:31,039 --> 00:09:33,480 and you will see them all, will now that it'd be just lovely. 102 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,639 The boy here is from Cuba. He can tell you about the size of 103 00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:43,120 Havana. Ain't that right? One? He said? Heard that you live 104 00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:46,159 in Havana where he was born. He wish you stand to your service, 105 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,799 does he? Indeed he sees himself tacked out, handsome and fine clothes, 106 00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:54,519 live in the life of a gentleman. You there what I played the guitar 107 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,840 will right? He does not wait to be complimented. I know Havanah every 108 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,840 time, about Havannah. I know you like me to be your boy. 109 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,720 Ey I arrange everything good. I leave it all in your hands. Captain. 110 00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,919 You will be able to reach me through Senor Carlo Chibo, who represents 111 00:10:09,919 --> 00:10:13,879 my guardian in Cuba. Ay. I know him well. Many's the time 112 00:10:13,919 --> 00:10:18,480 I've got my stores from him. Look out for that fat gentleman. He's 113 00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:20,919 a bit of a show if he ain't you afraid? I trust that Senor 114 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:33,039 Chibo will be my friend. A tower with a banner flying rose out of 115 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:37,039 the sea as our ship moved into shore. By evening, we were in 116 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,320 close enough to see the sulfur puff of the sunset gun from Elmorro. Between 117 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,360 a setting sun and a rising moon. We slipped into the great bay. 118 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,840 Tier above tier of batteries frowned down upon us from the turrets of the fort. 119 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,960 The crew did a clod dance on deck as we glided along the waterfront. 120 00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:56,879 Havana was flooded in moonlight. By the time I went ashore to pay 121 00:10:56,919 --> 00:11:05,720 my respects to Senor Chibo. I should have had someone meet you at the 122 00:11:05,759 --> 00:11:11,120 ships in your adverse, if I had known you were arriving tonight a class 123 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,240 of Chippo sponge, thank you, I would enjoy that. For fifteen years 124 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,799 I have been the honort agent in Havana for the House of Bonifeatherer. Here 125 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:26,200 you are. Your guardian tells me in this letter that you are to be 126 00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:30,159 considered as a junior member of the firm. I am to represent mister Bonifeather 127 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,159 personally in this matter of the Gego debt. Ah, the gego debt in 128 00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:39,080 vain? Have I tried to collect it? Senor adverse? I believe in 129 00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:45,320 first impressions, so I am disposed to be candid with you. This Gago 130 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,960 debt is somewhat involved. Indeed, what manner of business did the Gayago's run. 131 00:11:50,039 --> 00:11:54,000 My guardian seem vague on that subject. The Gegos, it would appear, 132 00:11:54,320 --> 00:12:01,240 sold precious stones, ivory and other African imports. But there was also 133 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,360 a rumor that they dealt in slaves. Way, that's a different tune. 134 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,960 No one has ever seen them deliver a slave here in Cuba, but there 135 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:15,960 was always that rumor. When the Gayego's father and son were alive live, 136 00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:20,120 do you think then they are dead? In this violent land, when a 137 00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:24,399 man disappears, one must suppose him to be dead until he is proved otherwise. 138 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,799 And the two Diegos have been missing for more than a year. Tell 139 00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:35,000 me senor who manages their business affairs, their agent Rascal, who calls himself 140 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:41,240 Ferdinando Fernando signor. You are to stay here with me. I have a 141 00:12:41,279 --> 00:12:46,679 tremendous house and many servants. I should consider it an insult if you lived 142 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:52,519 elsewhere. A slow upon the Chipo hospitality. Tomorrow we shall relax and do 143 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,320 nothing. I must help you to adjust yourself to our tropical way of life. 144 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,960 What apparently a murder has been committed. Still, one must not distress 145 00:13:01,039 --> 00:13:07,679 the digestion. Presently we shall eat the tremendous dinner. What will be accomplished 146 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:11,519 much? We shall have lived another few hours comfortably. No one can do 147 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:31,080 more. Now let us have another glass of chipbows. Bunch the prettiest tombs 148 00:13:31,159 --> 00:13:35,600 I've ever seen, mister Adverse. I am happy that you've enjoyed the great 149 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,000 yards of a Vana Missus Jorome. Never seen prettier even in Italy. And 150 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:45,320 this cathedral, oh, it's might be mute. From the way people are 151 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,919 gathering, it would appear that there's to be some sort of service. You 152 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:52,480 think maybe a wedding, and mighty partial of the weddings. Look at all 153 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:58,080 them jewels and laces and such a uniform. Yes, the mosquitoes. I 154 00:13:58,159 --> 00:14:03,759 think the critics had enough to stay out of church. I wonder if there's 155 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:07,679 any more cemetery. No, according to the list one made out for me, 156 00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:11,600 we've seen them all. Shall we stand here by the door and watch 157 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:13,639 the people come out of the cathedral? Yes? That would be real nice. 158 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,840 My, don't they look handsome? Land says Look at that girl. 159 00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:24,399 I didn't know Spaniards had pale gold hair like that. Did you see your 160 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:30,240 mister Adverse? I do indeed, Oh, mister Adverse, look over here. 161 00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:33,039 What is it, missus John the prettiest statue and angel. Excuse me 162 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,279 just a minute, I must see it. I love that, Senor. 163 00:14:37,879 --> 00:14:43,240 I believe that I address a newly arrived visitor to Havana. That is Trussa. 164 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,919 It is my business to know every distinguished guest, and I feel certain 165 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,039 that you must be Senor adverse. I am indeed, and I am the 166 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:56,559 Governor, Your excellency, May I present my niece, Senorita Delores de la 167 00:14:56,639 --> 00:15:01,679 Cuente, my honor, Senorita, se your adverse, Delories. If you 168 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,360 will wait a moment with Senor adverse here in the shade, I will call 169 00:15:05,399 --> 00:15:09,000 our character. I shall be happy to wait here with saying your adverse, 170 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,559 I will be only a moment, Senor, a pleasure, your excellency. 171 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,639 And so, Senor, how do you like Havana? Oh? I find 172 00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:24,360 it a magnificent city, exciting and strange, as strange as your name, 173 00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:31,759 Doloris de la Fuente, Doloris of the Father. It is such a strange 174 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:39,360 name. It is a fitting name, a name splashed with stars. Your 175 00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:45,519 speech is touched with poetry, Saor as, so you too might be Spanish. 176 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,279 We Spanish, our great lovers of beautiful words. We are fond of 177 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:56,200 tree and of legends. This, this meeting of ours, seems to me 178 00:15:56,279 --> 00:16:00,240 like a dream. Oh yes, it is displaced. This cathedral is filled 179 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:06,720 with dreams and with legends. There is a very old one about a young 180 00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:11,120 girl who met a young man here by the statue of the Little Angel. 181 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,559 I hope it is a happy story. Oh yes, he's a legend of 182 00:16:14,639 --> 00:16:18,879 love. And as this young girl and the young man met here, a 183 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:26,120 small white dog perched itself on the statue. And this was an women saying 184 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,440 on and even today, when lovers meet near the statue of the Little Angel, 185 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,360 it is said that they will find happiness. It's a small white dove 186 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,639 purchased itself on the statue. I am glad that this is where we first 187 00:16:40,679 --> 00:16:48,440 met, and I when you're at there, perhaps we shall meet again. 188 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:53,639 Oh but that is a certainty. Look there, a white dove has only 189 00:16:53,759 --> 00:17:00,360 now swooped down to purchase itself on the shoulder of the little Angel. Oh 190 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:18,279 ye, Senor, we shall meet again. Now, do sit down, 191 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:25,319 Senor Gracia. Senor Fernando, I regret, Senor, that we are unable 192 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,000 to pay our debt to mister Bonney better then you know my mission in Havannah. 193 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,640 I knew it even before you arrived, Senor. I see, Senor 194 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,240 Chibo has already told me that the affairs of Gago and Son are in a 195 00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:45,279 somewhat precarious state. Words they are disastrous. When do you anticipate the death 196 00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:48,400 may be paid? Who can say, Senor? Believe me, I would 197 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,920 like nothing better than to see this debt wiped off our books. But even 198 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:59,279 before the Gegos disappeared, our ships were returning without cargo from Africa, and 199 00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:03,440 there where trade is not what it used to be. This surprises me. 200 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,880 I have heard that there is never any loss in the slave trade. Slave 201 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,960 trade, Why do you say that, Senor Caiego and Son does not deal 202 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,160 in slaves? Since my arrival in Havana, I have heard certain rumors, 203 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,400 Senor, this is a land of rumors. Come aboard the schooner which arrived 204 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,119 from Africa this morning. You will see that our cargo was made up of 205 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,640 spices and a few ivory tasks of so little value that they will barely pay 206 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:36,359 for the expense of the voyage. It is not a Senor from the House 207 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:40,359 of Bonny, feather of whom we have heard your servant, Senorita. Senor 208 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:45,200 adverse, I present my sister Neletta. We welcome you to Cuba, Verdinando. 209 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,119 Yes, Netta, I think you should attend in person to the matter 210 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,559 of the wages for the scene, and they wait at the pay window. 211 00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:52,960 If the matter is pressing, I shall come another time. I do not 212 00:18:53,079 --> 00:18:59,160 leave, Senor adverse. My brother will excuse himself, and I mean time 213 00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:03,559 shall remain. I shall attempt, in my poor way to entertain you as 214 00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:11,000 you wish, Senorita, your permission, of course, Senorita, is it 215 00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:15,480 customary and havannah for a young lady to receive a stranger unattended in this manner? 216 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,279 No, Senor, but I do not like customs, nor do I. 217 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,319 My father was from Barcelona. He too, was never one to follow 218 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,799 customs. You wear your shawl thrown over your arms like the ladies of Barcelona. 219 00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:32,519 Oh you know Barcelona, Senor adverse, I have visited that glorious city, 220 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,480 Senorita. I came to discuss business with your brother, But it would 221 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,799 seem he wishes to avoid such a conversation. You must forgive Ferdinando. This 222 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,359 climate has not improved his disposition what has it turned to your disposition, Senor? 223 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:55,240 At the moment, I seem extremely well disposed. Indeed, Senor, 224 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:11,279 then I am pleased. So you've got no promise from Ferdinando as to when 225 00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:15,160 the debt might be paid. He avoided my questions, gave me no satisfaction, 226 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,920 and I'm inclined to believe that his sister was more than a little interested 227 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,880 in our conversation. Is a fox and a rascal as to her, I 228 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,480 have my doubt. He is a beauty, as dark as the night, 229 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,880 and as unpredictable, a most curious woman, always within sight of her brother, 230 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,680 as though she distrusts him, And so do I, so do we 231 00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:38,079 all. What am I to do, sen your cheebow? How will I 232 00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:42,920 collect this debt? I sit here enjoying the pleasures of my party, and 233 00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:48,640 yet I arrange many things. I weave a fine web which extends in all 234 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:53,400 directions, and one dire erection leads straight to the Governor's palace. I am 235 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,839 most drateful, Senor Chibo. You are to drive to the palace in my 236 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,599 best to carry, and you will accompany me. No, no, no, 237 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,960 no, riding up and down our wretched cobblestones, disturbs my digestion. 238 00:21:04,279 --> 00:21:08,640 I see, do you think, Senor, that I will be fortunate enough 239 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:15,200 to see his Excellency's niece, the delicate Dolres with the golden hair the laws 240 00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:19,799 of the part. Perhaps now, then, Anthony, I believe that I 241 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,839 have discovered a plan that would help you to collect the dead which Diego and 242 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:29,599 Son owes to the House of bonnifad excellence. However, the Governor's permission must 243 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,039 be given or the plan is impossible. Tomorrow afternoon you will point out to 244 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,799 his Excellency that there is a ship in the harbor he named the Ariostota, 245 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:53,480 and your Excellency, this schooner, the Ariostatica, is the property of Diego 246 00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:56,920 and Son. I send your adverse. It is their property. This ship 247 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:02,519 makes voyage after voyage to Africa. Yet curiously, its cargoes are so small 248 00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:07,759 and unprofitable that Senor Ferdinando professes himself unable to meet expenses, much less discharge 249 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:11,359 his debts. As Governor, Senor, I too, am most interested in 250 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,960 the firm of Geago and Sun. You see, they also owe a considerable 251 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,160 debt to the Cuban government. Perhaps I can help you to collect that debt. 252 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,440 You have a proposal. The Idiostatica sails for Africa next week. That 253 00:22:23,559 --> 00:22:27,519 is true, Senor Chibo has suggested that I sail aboard her in order to 254 00:22:27,559 --> 00:22:32,880 determine why a profitable cargo was never brought back from these African voyages. Indeed, 255 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,559 an investigation should be most revealing. I will see to it that a 256 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,160 valuable cargo is shipped back from Africa. I will guard it and I will 257 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,279 sail with it back to Cuba. That way, I can check the ship's 258 00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:47,720 inventory when it unloads here and guarantee that nothing is missing. An excellent idea. 259 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,279 One cargo of ivory would pay off the Giago's debt to the House of 260 00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:55,480 Bonnifeather, which you represent, and to the Government of Cuba, which I 261 00:22:55,599 --> 00:23:00,880 represent. One cargo would pay both debts only I I would have to sail 262 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:06,359 aboard the Aerostatica as a representative of your excellency. That way the entire matter 263 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,319 would be completely legal. I shall have the necessary papers drawn up and send 264 00:23:10,319 --> 00:23:12,880 them to you before sundown. Good, your excellency, I take my leave. 265 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,400 You know your way to the streets, Senor. I'll go out as 266 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:33,039 I came through the garden you rap to your adverse anthony adverse, Senora Doloris, 267 00:23:33,279 --> 00:23:41,960 you are surprised, surprised, and greatly I I I had no hope 268 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,720 that I would meet you again so soon, nor had I I have thought 269 00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:49,519 much of you since that first meeting. It is good to hear such words 270 00:23:49,519 --> 00:23:55,680 from you. Sayor one has a dream in one's mind. But when I 271 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,039 saw you standing in the doorway of the cathedral, so tall, and your 272 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:06,440 fine, proud head, and you and your black mantilla, your face like 273 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,319 a flame in the glow of the great stained glass windows, yes it was 274 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,640 like a dream. But we are not a dream. Signor we are alive. 275 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,680 And listen to how we flatter each other. Could I not see you 276 00:24:22,759 --> 00:24:29,839 later this evening? Alone? Alone? But there are many who come to 277 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,359 serenade me from the outer gardens. Senorita, my very heart sings to you. 278 00:24:36,039 --> 00:24:40,480 It is to be observed. My windows do not open onto the outer 279 00:24:40,599 --> 00:24:45,839 garden, put onto this small private garden only. Of course, no one 280 00:24:47,079 --> 00:24:52,559 can climb that wall. But if they did, of course, if they 281 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,640 did, they would find me waiting here. I will come, Senorita, 282 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:17,000 tonight, tonight, senyor Chibo. When I returned from the Governor's palace. 283 00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:19,920 I had a feeling that I was followed. In Havana. Everyone is followed. 284 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:25,440 That is one of the customs of this city. Oh well, what 285 00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:30,799 shall we do this evening? Relax on the patio Tonight I have other plans. 286 00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:33,559 Indeed, I have a rendezvous in a star swept guarden. Not the 287 00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:37,720 Governor's niece, iye, the lawress of the fountain. You must be careful, 288 00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:41,680 Anthony. Oh, take one with you for protection should you meet any 289 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,680 of the golden ladies other admired. I confend for myself. However, I 290 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:51,200 will take one along the serenade the lady. Well, we have accomplished much 291 00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:55,519 today. You've gotten the papers which you needed for your voyage to Africa, 292 00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:00,920 and you have also become acquainted with the Governor's niece, all in one day. 293 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,960 Now it is evening, and I return at midnight to the Governor's palace. 294 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:23,480 I have a rendezvous with the golden Dolores one. You will wait here 295 00:26:23,519 --> 00:26:26,200 on this side of the wall. See, Senor, I will sing for 296 00:26:26,279 --> 00:26:30,319 you and the lady. You see, it was most fortunate that I brought 297 00:26:30,319 --> 00:26:33,839 my guitarck I you, rascal. Most fortunate is there some particular song you 298 00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:37,279 wish me to sing. I leave the choice entirely to you. It shall 299 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,039 be a very old love song, you say. The lady is beautiful, 300 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,440 as lovely as the night. Now help me scale this wall. Clasp your 301 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,119 hands together so I step upon them. Thus, now lift me up up. 302 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,880 I put myself up to the top of the wall. So ah, 303 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,440 And what do you see on the other side? Never mind what is on 304 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:10,519 the other side, you may sing, I I sing as their all you 305 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,200 have home glories. How can this be? I am in your arms, 306 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,359 your breath is on my cheek, and yet you are singing to me from 307 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:22,359 the other side of the wood. Ha ha ha. I use one voice 308 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:30,559 for serenading and another to whisper in your sweeping And for me, we have 309 00:27:30,599 --> 00:27:34,440 only just met already I must leave you. Yes, my uncle has told 310 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,759 me. Next week you sail to Africa. Promise you will not forget me 311 00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:42,920 until I return. Forget you if I never see you again, even if 312 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,680 I'm lost at sea, if you are married and I cannot speak to you, 313 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:56,079 remember that I love you. I shall remember oil. Even though our 314 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,640 lips can never speak such words again, Still we shall know. We shall 315 00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:07,279 know if I can return to you, Will you be here? Why do 316 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,279 you say if you can return, what could happen on this African voyage? 317 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,440 I know not what I am facing. Whenever you return next month, next 318 00:28:15,559 --> 00:28:25,400 year, you will find me in my beloved and me. What is that 319 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,440 that drum? You can hear it often in the quiet of the night. 320 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,079 But where does it come from? I do not know. Far away, 321 00:28:32,519 --> 00:28:36,240 perhaps from the hills or the other side of the island. The sound of 322 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:56,559 a drum carries for many MILESAA, you come, see mom Bib, Mom 323 00:28:56,559 --> 00:29:02,440 Bib, I come to you for help. What is it you sick? 324 00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:08,240 Oh great wizard. There is a man recently arrived in Cuba, a man 325 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,839 whom I love, but who has eyes for another one with golden hair. 326 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,240 You wish charm. Make this man love you. I want a charm that 327 00:29:19,359 --> 00:29:26,039 will make him my slave. That will need powerful charm. I will pay 328 00:29:26,079 --> 00:29:30,400 you a purse of gold if you make this man give his affection to me 329 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:37,279 instead of the governor's niece. I will make charm. Thank you bad you 330 00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:42,799 are indeed great with that. Only before I can make charm, I must 331 00:29:42,839 --> 00:29:48,160 have something that is part of this man, a pearing for his nail or 332 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:53,319 a single hair from his head.

Whoever you are, I am your prisoner, but I beg of 343 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:56,599 you. Do not harm the lady. Permit her to go free.

Senor Chebo. 353 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,359 We are faced with a most curious situation. What is that, your 354 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,519 excellency, your friend, Senor Adverse has been spirited away? Well by whom? 355 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:36,559 A band of masked men in my garden. My niece was a witness, 356 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,319 rascals. Who were they? Where have they taken him? In answer 357 00:32:39,319 --> 00:32:44,200 to both questions, I do not know. They were masked and had locked 358 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,960 all of my guards in one of the ante rooms. Oh, no one 359 00:32:46,039 --> 00:32:50,880 saw where they went. We must roused all of Havana, all the commandant 360 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,480 of police. For the past hour, the entire police force has been searching 361 00:32:53,519 --> 00:32:59,119 the city and with no result. What of Anthony's companion, the young sailor 362 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,920 won He too was spirited away it is my fault. Anthony told me only 363 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,960 this afternoon that someone was following him. I should have sent him my servants 364 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,039 alone to guard him. What can we do, your excellency? What can 365 00:33:12,079 --> 00:33:15,000 we do? We can only wait and trust that the police will find some 366 00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:28,799 trace of him, sing, your advers can you hear me? I want 367 00:33:29,799 --> 00:33:31,920 keep your voice down lest we be overheard. Why do you think they might 368 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:36,839 be taking us? I know that my eyes were blindfolded when they brought me 369 00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,799 aboard ship, so I could not even see her name from me, sound 370 00:33:38,839 --> 00:33:43,960 any feel of her. She is a schooner bound for some unknown and horr 371 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,480 away destination. I have been in changed before, but always for a reason. 372 00:33:49,039 --> 00:33:52,599 Why do you suppose we have prisoners here? Senor? I know not 373 00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:55,920 lif all right, and change them and take them up to the deck. 374 00:33:57,839 --> 00:34:00,440 What are you going to do with us? What you over this side in 375 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,839 a small boat? Are you putting us a shore? Selling us a drift? 376 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:27,599 You will see, Senor, you will see sen Senior Chapo, Yes, 377 00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:31,159 yeah, what is it? Most of those though? The commander of 378 00:34:31,159 --> 00:34:35,480 the police has just reported, ay, and what has he found? No 379 00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:37,599 trace of them in the entire city, Yes, discovered, No one has 380 00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:43,159 even seen them. There is nothing more to be done. I could do 381 00:34:44,199 --> 00:34:50,480 nothing. What about Senor Ferdinando Erdnando? Hi? Would it not be to 382 00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:53,360 his interest to spirit send your adverse out of sight? It would, your 383 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:59,679 excellency, But it would also be impossible. Could he not hide adverse in 384 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,199 the whole his ship the area Statica and take him to Africa? When she 385 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,000 sails? He could, indeed, but she does not sail before and not 386 00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:09,559 the week. Then let us go down to the docks and inspect his ship. 387 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,599 Go down to the docks in the middle of the night. I will 388 00:35:14,639 --> 00:35:17,320 go with you. What I have not been near the docks in the years. 389 00:35:17,639 --> 00:35:22,039 Would you not tend to this alone without me? I'm a long fat 390 00:35:22,079 --> 00:35:24,159 one. It will do you good. We must get there before dawn. 391 00:35:24,519 --> 00:35:38,880 Very well, I come reluctantly. I want Do you know where we are? 392 00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:43,719 Que not talking? Where are you taking us? I cannot tell you. 393 00:35:44,119 --> 00:35:49,119 This is like a wilderness jungle, but it must still be. There 394 00:35:49,199 --> 00:35:52,920 is some sort of settlement hop ahead. Soon it will be done. Then 395 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,639 we will be able to discover our whereabouts. This way he is leaving us 396 00:35:57,679 --> 00:36:00,920 off the path. Us did not follow behind us. We could try to 397 00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:05,960 escape on his back is turned a chance they would shoot us down. We're 398 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,880 going uphill steep hill, and it is earning morning. Fog would live. 399 00:36:10,119 --> 00:36:15,039 We could see what is any distance here? Open that door. It is 400 00:36:15,079 --> 00:36:19,400 a great wooden door in the side of the hill. Yeah, I'm putting 401 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,519 you on our finess, said, our finess is some sort of prison dug 402 00:36:24,519 --> 00:36:29,039 out of the side of the cliff without windows or ventilation. Alright, there 403 00:36:29,079 --> 00:36:45,239 you go. And do you swear, Senor Ferdinando, that you have seen 404 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,840 nothing of my associates and your right nothing not since he came to my office. 405 00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:54,000 Let me see that that must have been yesterday afternoon. We have searched 406 00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,800 the ship without finding any trace of them. What is this? You wake 407 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:00,239 me in the middle of the night, You rouse my crew and search my 408 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:06,199 ship. Why who's authority? By mine? As his Catholic Majesty's represented him 409 00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,599 Anthony Adverse and his servant was seized by a band of masked men in the 410 00:37:09,679 --> 00:37:15,039 very grounds of my palace. Such impertinent, your excellency, right in the 411 00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:20,440 palace gardens. You say, but this is no concern of mine. Why 412 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,119 have you searched my ship? To put it bluntly, because you are the 413 00:37:23,199 --> 00:37:28,679 one person in all ha a havana who might profit through the disappearance of senior 414 00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:45,280 adverse one. Listen, we are about to have a guess old frog face 415 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:50,280 again. This time let surprise him.

Lead the way, 422 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:28,519 Senorita, take my hand, your hat, come along one. I clutched 423 00:38:28,519 --> 00:38:31,800 the tail of your coat. Senor Senorita, how did you come here? 424 00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,639 Where did you get the key to our prisoner? I must talk quickly? 425 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,159 Aye, this a fine night. The air is sweet. Your god eats 426 00:38:38,199 --> 00:38:42,400 his dinner. I add a duplicate key made to the door of your sail, 427 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,639 and keep it. Let yourself in and out whenever the guard sleeps here 428 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:50,719 take it? What are you doing here, Senorita? Elator? Let us 429 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,039 sit on this side of the hill here in the moonlight. Very well, 430 00:38:57,079 --> 00:39:01,760 the moonlight is very bright. Even see the design of your necklace. And 431 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:07,239 I can see a hair that has pullen onto your shoulder. Here, let 432 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:13,760 me take a souvenir. So, Senorita, I should welcome an explanation of 433 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,360 why you are here. I too am a prisoner. Where are we? 434 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:23,440 This is Gego's rich the estate of Senor Geagos. My brother keeps me here. 435 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,960 So the Rinando had you brought here in the night aboard the schooner Ariostafrica. 436 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,199 It sailed back to Havana and was anchored there before dawn to prevent anyone 437 00:39:32,199 --> 00:39:36,519 being suspicious. And we are still in Cuba. We see, but many 438 00:39:36,599 --> 00:39:40,800 miles down the coast from Havana. This is the place where my brother hides 439 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,840 these slaves which he brings from Africa. Then what I have heard is truth. 440 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:50,760 See every ship stops here before reaching Havana. The slaves are unloaded, 441 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,719 and the ship goes down to Havana with only a few poor ivory tusks in 442 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:58,639 its hold. And that is an African druma here I knew it. There 443 00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,119 is a guarded village, a valley with hundreds of African natives or waiting for 444 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:07,199 sheeps to carry them into bondage. Why do you tell me this? Perhaps 445 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:15,559 I am a shame of my brother. Perhaps I would like to be rescued. 446 00:40:16,119 --> 00:40:20,519 What can we do? You must remain here, at least for the 447 00:40:20,639 --> 00:40:25,039 president. Prisoner. God returns happy hill, and you must hurry back to 448 00:40:25,079 --> 00:40:30,599 yourself. Knock yourselves in lest you suspect. We'll see you again tomorrow. 449 00:40:30,199 --> 00:40:37,119 Good night, Senorita, Good night, Anthony Adverse, good night.

Tell me, is it Nealita who rules here? 503 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:22,960 She is the one, a conning woman with an unexpected strain of savagery 504 00:45:22,079 --> 00:45:25,920 and superstition. We must act, We must develop a plan of escape. 505 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:44,119 I will take you to the hilltop and you will see the slave camp spread 506 00:45:44,199 --> 00:45:49,239 out below us is the Diego estate. That is the great house to the 507 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,360 right, where Senorita Neleita lives with her brother. What is the large building. 508 00:45:52,639 --> 00:45:58,119 It is a great storage house filled with stolen cargo. That is the 509 00:45:58,159 --> 00:46:04,159 slave border to the left spreads out across the valley. The slaves are chained 510 00:46:04,199 --> 00:46:10,400 there. Beautiful Neilatea walks among them with a whip. And you what causes 511 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:16,280 you to be here? My niece's strange stories in your I was educated in 512 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:20,800 Europe. When I finished school, I sailed back to my home in Africa, 513 00:46:21,519 --> 00:46:25,840 but the ship was attacked by pirates. After many adventures, I ended 514 00:46:27,079 --> 00:46:34,679 here a slave. I've played upon this strange woman's superstition, and that has 515 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:40,199 made it possible for me to help my fellow slaves. I hope someday to 516 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,440 set em free. I will help you. What is the latest purpose? 517 00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:50,840 She has conceived a wild passion for you. She had me make a wax 518 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,199 image in your likeness. Image there's supposed to be a charm which will make 519 00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:59,360 you her slave. She brought me a hair, a hair from your own 520 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,519 head, to place within the image. She actually thinks that a spell has 521 00:47:02,599 --> 00:47:07,760 been cast upon me. Hi, senor that is what she thinks. All 522 00:47:08,559 --> 00:47:23,400 this, Sir, promises to be most intriguing is in nights such as one 523 00:47:23,519 --> 00:47:30,840 sees in Spain, Senorita, the sky spills stars across the land. Here 524 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,360 is the place I wish to show you. I have noticed this building from 525 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:37,639 the hill your eyes will be dazzled by what they are about to see. 526 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:44,960 Follow me, Anthony adverse, I will disclose a treasure beyond the dream of 527 00:47:45,119 --> 00:47:52,400 men this way. These these caskets and chests, they they bulge with gold. 528 00:47:52,039 --> 00:47:59,480 In this chest our rubies, pearls, emeralds. Look, Senor, 529 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,239 look, get him. These are diamond Great tusks of ivory hang from the 530 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,880 ceiling. And his next room is filled with more golden coins. All of 531 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:15,800 this treasure can be yours, Anthony, yours and mine mine. With it, 532 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:21,920 you and I could be very happy. Yes, I am a passionate 533 00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:27,400 woman, and I am also an ambitious woman. I am making plans for 534 00:48:27,599 --> 00:48:31,039 us, you and I and for all this treasure. And what is your 535 00:48:31,119 --> 00:48:38,119 plan? My brother returns tomorrow evening. The Schoonerariostatica will pause here before it 536 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:45,559 sails to Africa. I have a plan. You will see my hands to 537 00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:52,920 one tomorrow night. You will help me bring that plan to reality. Oh, 538 00:48:53,199 --> 00:49:05,639 Antony, kiss me later. I am your slave, my slave. 539 00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:22,239 He himself said he was my slave. Are you surprised, Senorita, I 540 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:27,880 am Please. Your charm has worked to perfection mom Biby, and you will 541 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:32,039 find that I am most grateful. I am certain of that, Senorita. 542 00:49:32,679 --> 00:49:37,800 My brothership stops here tonight, and I have plans that drum you here, 543 00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:44,320 Senorita. He tells me that your brothership will duck just after nightfall. They 544 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:50,000 know a well, mom Bb, you are certain that senor adverts will obey 545 00:49:50,079 --> 00:49:55,079 my every command without hesitation. You need only order him, and he will 546 00:49:55,119 --> 00:50:12,400 obey. I shall order him tonight. So great is her faith in the 547 00:50:12,559 --> 00:50:15,800 powers of evil, Senior adverse that Nelita is convinced you are a slave, 548 00:50:16,599 --> 00:50:22,480 will obey her every command. The lady will presently find otherwise. She has 549 00:50:22,559 --> 00:50:25,159 something planned for tonight, something which concerns her brother. I am ordered to 550 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:30,199 join her for dinner without one. That leaves one free to help us in 551 00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:35,239 another direction. And what is that? Elita heard the drum beating. I 552 00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,159 told her to announce the arrival of her brother's ship. I did not tell 553 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:43,719 her that it said another ship was also approaching, an American ship. American? 554 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,639 What is its name? That I know not? One must throw out 555 00:50:46,639 --> 00:50:50,760 to meet it. I will send two slaves with him. Are fast assurcement? 556 00:50:51,079 --> 00:50:54,039 Can they row their arms and legs chain together? I to have a 557 00:50:54,239 --> 00:51:00,079 key, Senior adverse. Tonight every slave will find his uncle free of change. 558 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:04,800 And tonight we must escape, all of us, sen your diego and 559 00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:08,760 all of the slaves, I senor, Tonight we escape. Our first step 560 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:12,719 is to send Juan off to meet the American ship. Very well, Come, 561 00:51:13,559 --> 00:51:15,519 one will journey down the river. Then you will go to the big 562 00:51:15,599 --> 00:51:21,840 house for dinner. When you hear the drums, many drums, you will 563 00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:40,519 know these slaves are free. You feed my pet too much, and your 564 00:51:40,599 --> 00:51:46,039 adversary will spoil him, even as you spoil me. My dear sister. 565 00:51:46,519 --> 00:51:51,920 Should we not be alone to discuss business? There is much time, but 566 00:51:52,119 --> 00:51:57,000 the schooner sails before dawn. We will talk later. Now, another glass 567 00:51:57,159 --> 00:52:01,679 of wine, very well, one more glass. I wonder why the drums 568 00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:07,360 are silent tonight? Whoever knows why the drums are beaten or why they are 569 00:52:07,559 --> 00:52:12,480 silent? Roombaby never explains, and someday I shall have him beaten. Why 570 00:52:12,559 --> 00:52:15,880 do you not come with me on this voyage, dear sister, I sail 571 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:22,360 to Africa. You would enjoy the sea air. It might even sweeten your 572 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:27,159 temper. Ernando, you have had too many glasses of wines. Oh my 573 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,920 apologies and your adverse, You no doubt have worried, Senor Fernando. You 574 00:52:31,039 --> 00:52:35,719 all no graduate my adopting you and bringing you here. Quite the contrary, 575 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,800 I have been most happy here. How can anyone be happy in this place? 576 00:52:39,679 --> 00:52:44,960 Reads evil like a swamp? Nando, you talk to me and my 577 00:52:45,199 --> 00:52:50,719 dear sister, she is the dark queen of this evil place? Have you 578 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:57,000 had your charm made Meletta easy?

Yes, aim it directly 581 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:20,000 at his head, his head. You are my slave, Anthony adverse. 582 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:25,559 You will obey my every command, every command, Ferdinando, I have no 583 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:30,840 further use for you. I have plans. You are not included in my 584 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:37,159 plans, foolish brother. Even as we sit here, the treasure of gold 585 00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:42,480 and jewels is being loaded above the schooner Anthony, and ailing off to another 586 00:53:42,639 --> 00:53:50,159 land. And you, Ferdinando, you are going to die. What you 587 00:53:51,440 --> 00:54:00,760 are about to die? You shoot him? Anthony, holy trigger, Why 588 00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:06,199 do you know a baby? You are my slave? Forgive me, Senorita, 589 00:54:06,559 --> 00:54:08,360 I am not your slave. What are you saying? You're not moving? 590 00:54:08,519 --> 00:54:14,400 Later? The gun is now pointed straight at you. You must have 591 00:54:14,559 --> 00:54:16,800 baby. You must see. The witch doctor made an image of you. 592 00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,559 See here, I keep it on my person, an image of you, 593 00:54:22,039 --> 00:54:25,400 an image which makes you my sleep. It is you, not your brother, 594 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,519 who is the greater fool. Moombby is my friend and no witch doctor. 595 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:34,199 Even as we talk, he is freeing the slaves. The wake up. 596 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,760 I need you. When did your brother to drink too much? You 597 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:42,480 thought to have me kill him instead. I point the gun at you. 598 00:54:42,679 --> 00:54:45,840 You are my slave. You must have baby pointing god. Fernando pointed at 599 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:52,360 me. Where is that? Unless I am mistaken, Senorita, it is 600 00:54:52,440 --> 00:55:09,280 a ship's cannon. You are safe. I was thrown to the floor near 601 00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:13,400 an open window. I escaped. I was coming back for you as soon 602 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,880 as I could get. Send your gy go to sympathy and brother. The 603 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,280 house was struck by a cannon ball and set a fire. Both perished in 604 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,159 the flames. And my people have won their freedom. I we are all 605 00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:30,480 free. They are going now in boats, rowing south to a friendly lad. 606 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,280 You will come with us. I am on bib.

Hi, the treasure is stored in the 619 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,239 hold of that other ship, well land six. There's others that want to 620 00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:42,440 greet the last.

You not 629 00:57:29,039 --> 00:57:35,280 remember the little Angel of the Cathedral and the small white dog. Lovers who 630 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:42,039 meet there will find happiness. This is a legend Ny Anthony from the Heart 631 00:57:42,199 --> 00:58:15,920 of Love from Studio one at CBS. You have just heard Fletcher Markle's production 632 00:58:16,159 --> 00:58:21,559 of Anthony Adverse by Herbie Allen, another full hour Columbia feature from the pages 633 00:58:21,559 --> 00:58:25,360 of the world's great storytellers. Tonight's script was prepared especially for this series by 634 00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,360 Vincent mcconnor of the CBS Division of Program Writing, and the original musical score 635 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:36,920 was composed by Lana Doomian and conducted by Alexander Semler. Now again, mister 636 00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,719 Markle, a producer, introduced the principles in our cast tonight. In the 637 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:46,039 foreground, Anthony Adverse was played by Clayton Collier was Mercedes m Cambridge was Miriam 638 00:58:46,079 --> 00:58:52,320 Wolfe, Gilo Chibo was played by Danny Oco was Joseph Conway, Huan was 639 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:57,480 Ronnie lyss Captain Joram, Missus joyl Wrian McAllister and Elsie May.

We're Headley Rennie, John Merlin, 641 00:59:01,199 --> 00:59:06,480 Gregory Morton, Louis Quinn and John Seymour. The Spanish songs were sung by 642 00:59:06,719 --> 00:59:12,760 Nino Ventura. Next week, we're going to visit that changing yet unchanging land 643 00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:16,119 of the six gun, the ranch owner's daughter, and the disappearing mortgage where 644 00:59:16,159 --> 00:59:21,760 men are men and dust is bitten like a suspicious coin. And smile when 645 00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:27,000 you say anything, Pardner. Our story is Max Brand's unusual novels Singing Guns. 646 00:59:27,679 --> 00:59:30,159 So if anyone wants to know where we are next week, point to 647 00:59:30,239 --> 00:59:32,599 the wild West and say they went that way. We hope you'll be with 648 00:59:32,719 --> 00:59:37,639 us now until next week and Singing Guns by Max Brand. This is Fletcher 649 00:59:37,719 --> 00:59:42,159 Markle with a good night and thank you from all of us in Studio one. 650 01:00:00,039 --> 01:00:25,920 This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System. This is Andrew from Otrwesterns 651 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:29,559 dot Com. I wanted to invite you to come take a look at our 652 01:00:29,599 --> 01:00:34,320 site where we put out podcasts of old time radio Westerns. Check us out 653 01:00:34,320 --> 01:00:37,559 at Otrwesterns dot com. You're listening to the great detectives of old time radio 654 01:00:37,599 --> 01:00:49,519 with Adam Graham. Now let's get back into the show. Welcome back, 655 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:53,559 Call your UH does a good job on this. I also liked Mercedes McCambridge 656 01:00:54,079 --> 01:00:59,599 UH. Those who've been listening to the program for quite a while will remember 657 01:00:59,719 --> 01:01:04,480 miss mc cambridge from her role in the lead on Defense Attorney. She did 658 01:01:04,559 --> 01:01:08,480 a good job of creating a character with a very different voice, and there 659 01:01:08,599 --> 01:01:15,079 was just a hint of a norm of her normal voice, which is definitely 660 01:01:15,159 --> 01:01:21,719 an achievement because her regular voice is very distinctive over radio. And I also 661 01:01:22,039 --> 01:01:25,599 love the sound design. There's just a lot of care put into making this 662 01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:32,679 sound superb and this is a cut above what you would typically hear on a 663 01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:39,360 regular radio drama. And of course, Studio One would actually go on to 664 01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:46,119 become a big CBS TV anthology that aired a lot of live programming. It 665 01:01:46,199 --> 01:01:51,639 was probably the most successful of those, though the ties to the radio show 666 01:01:51,679 --> 01:01:55,960 are somewhat tenuous.
