<v Speaker 1>And this one may be a queen can tell it

00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:31.519
<v Speaker 1>to you. There is Broadway Thanks.

5
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 2>This is a story about a guy and a doll.

6
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>The guy's name is Jack O'donahue, who is a shoe clerk,

7
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 2>and the doll's name is Ida Peters, who is one

8
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>of the advantages of being on the First Road. A

9
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>musical comedy where the view is good. It begins on

10
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:49.000
<v Speaker 2>a summer night sometime back in Bryant Talk at sixth

11
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.479
<v Speaker 2>Avenue and forty second Street. Various citizens are enjoying the

12
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>night air and the benches are in good use. But

13
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 2>it soon happens that Jack is sitting on one that

14
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 2>has nobody else on it. That is until up walks

15
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Ida Peters and sits there. Then the scene is as fox.

16
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Uh, excuse me, miss, what for? What do you see?

17
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 4>I look, I came here to get a breath of air.

18
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 4>I am not trying to find company. It so happens

19
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 4>this was the only empty spot I.

20
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 3>Know that, miss, But you see my hat? What you're on? It?

21
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 4>Oh, oh, I'm sorry.

22
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 3>It's okay, it's not a very good hat here, thanks, yeah, well,

23
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 3>good night.

24
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 4>Uh just a minute, Hi, I'm sorry I blew my

25
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:41.480
<v Speaker 4>top like that.

26
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 3>Poor kid's all right. I guess you thought I was

27
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:44.879
<v Speaker 3>being freed.

28
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 4>Sure, but I should have known better. You should uh

29
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:51.120
<v Speaker 4>huh when you got up just then the light hit

30
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 4>your face.

31
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, now I'm sorry for what I should. Never stand

32
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.480
<v Speaker 3>in the light. When I was a little kid, the

33
00:01:57.799 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 3>other kids called.

34
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.040
<v Speaker 5>Me, but they caught you froggy.

35
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.040
<v Speaker 3>Oh I've outgrown up a little.

36
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Sure.

37
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, good night, miss good night. Hey, hey your hat?

38
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 3>Oh thanks?

39
00:02:17.639 --> 00:02:22.000
<v Speaker 4>He good night, Yeah, good night.

40
00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>That is the way it begives Donald like Eyda Peter's

41
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 2>who may not be the best looking in the world,

42
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:35.759
<v Speaker 2>but does not have to move over for anybody. And

43
00:02:35.879 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 2>JACKO Dane, you, who does not represent a Donald's dream

44
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.360
<v Speaker 2>and never will. Now what happens is considered practically incredible

45
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>by everybody.

46
00:02:44.560 --> 00:03:00.159
<v Speaker 6>And what that is I will tell you in a minute.

47
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.719
<v Speaker 1>And now back to the Damon Runyon Theater and the

48
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 1>famous story maybe a Queen.

49
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Well like I say, Ida and Jack meet up in

50
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Brian Park and this meeting goes on for quite a

51
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:30.360
<v Speaker 2>few nights. If anybody asks Hider why she goes there,

52
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.039
<v Speaker 2>it is a little better than six to five. She

53
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.520
<v Speaker 2>will not know, that is until one night when they

54
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>had taken a little war.

55
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 4>Jack, I'll have to leave you in a little while.

56
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.479
<v Speaker 3>Leave. Are you going away?

57
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:45.560
<v Speaker 4>No? No, not leaving town? If that's what you mean,

58
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.199
<v Speaker 4>that's what I mean. I'll stick around for a while. No,

59
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.080
<v Speaker 4>I I'm meeting somebody at midnight.

60
00:03:53.639 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh here in the park. No, it's eleven forty.

61
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 4>I know.

62
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:02.719
<v Speaker 3>You got a date.

63
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 5>Huh, how'd you know?

64
00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 3>I never kid myself?

65
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 4>What do you mean?

66
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 3>I'm all right to take a walk with in the

67
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.599
<v Speaker 3>park if we stay out from under the lights. But

68
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 3>I guess it stops there now.

69
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:16.879
<v Speaker 4>Look, maybe your trouble is thinking bad things about yourself. Sure,

70
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 4>you're not handsome. I wouldn't even call you a nice

71
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 4>looking Your nose isn't all wrong, your mouth slants in

72
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 4>a funny way.

73
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 3>But you're beautiful.

74
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 4>But you've got nice eyes. They're well, honest and clean.

75
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:32.720
<v Speaker 3>Thanks.

76
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 4>I guess I like you better than any guy I've

77
00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 4>ever met.

78
00:04:36.240 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 3>How big a field is that?

79
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Pretty big?

80
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 3>Jack? Mm hmm, pretty big?

81
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 4>I admit it. I wish you wouldn't to me, but

82
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 4>I keep things on the level.

83
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 3>You want me to walk you to the edge of

84
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 3>the park. No, will you be here tomorrow night?

85
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 4>Will you?

86
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:53.879
<v Speaker 3>It's the only time of day I look forward to.

87
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.959
<v Speaker 3>It's the only time anytime matters, the only time New

88
00:04:58.040 --> 00:04:58.879
<v Speaker 3>York looks good to me.

89
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 4>Jack, cut it out?

90
00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 7>Okay, okay, so you kiss me? That gives you a

91
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.800
<v Speaker 7>ticket to what I love you. I don't love you,

92
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 7>I guess No, I don't love you.

93
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 4>I never will.

94
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 5>Hi.

95
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 4>Oh, for the love of mine, I.

96
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.040
<v Speaker 5>Do, Eida, But forget it.

97
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.360
<v Speaker 4>Forget I said it. Forget you said it. Why I've

98
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:30.639
<v Speaker 4>got a date in ten minutes.

99
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 3>You're going to keep it?

100
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I am. Well, don't look at me like that.

101
00:05:36.519 --> 00:05:39.560
<v Speaker 3>I was wondering. I was wondering about tomorrow night. No,

102
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:41.959
<v Speaker 3>good night?

103
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:44.279

104
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 3>Oh sure, goodbye? What's the matter? Why'd you stop by?

105
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 4>Same time, same tomorrow night.

106
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>So now Ida is in love with Jack, and he

107
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:17.040
<v Speaker 2>certainly is more than somewhat gone about her. But all

108
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 2>it ever amounts to is those meetings in the park,

109
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 2>and why well I find out about two weeks later

110
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.240
<v Speaker 2>when I run into Ida in Mindy's or she runs

111
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.759
<v Speaker 2>into me while I am sitting there.

112
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 5>Hello Broadway, Hello, I just sit there.

113
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:30.360
<v Speaker 4>Thanks.

114
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:32.160
<v Speaker 2>The show is going all right?

115
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:32.600
<v Speaker 4>Fine?

116
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:34.879
<v Speaker 5>Anything wrong wrong?

117
00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 4>Why do I look at uh huh? Yeah, everything's wrong?

118
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 4>You know Jack o'donahue slightly. He's a clerk. He hasn't

119
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.319
<v Speaker 4>got a dime and he never will have.

120
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 2>There are some people who have the neck of being

121
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:50.600
<v Speaker 2>able to stay flat broke.

122
00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, why does it have to be him?

123
00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 8>Is he very special?

124
00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:54.720
<v Speaker 4>Extra?

125
00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:57.839
<v Speaker 2>I am listening Broadway.

126
00:06:59.000 --> 00:06:59.839
<v Speaker 4>Take a good look at me.

127
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 8>It is a pleasure.

128
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:02.120
<v Speaker 4>What do you see?

129
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:03.199
<v Speaker 8>M lots?

130
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 4>I'm good looking.

131
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.000
<v Speaker 2>There is no exaggeration in that.

132
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:07.399
<v Speaker 4>Lots of guys go for me.

133
00:07:07.519 --> 00:07:08.720
<v Speaker 2>That is a well known fact.

134
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 4>I could do all right, Yes you could, but not

135
00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 4>if I marry Jack, he asks you tonight. But I won't.

136
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 4>I swear I won't it. Why should I? I can

137
00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:21.439
<v Speaker 4>do better? Lots better?

138
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:22.240
<v Speaker 3>That is true.

139
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 4>You ever live in a one room flat in the

140
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 4>tenements in the summer, it's so hot the air is

141
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.600
<v Speaker 4>like a blanket with hot water poured over it in

142
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 4>the window. You put on all the clothes you've got,

143
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:33.639
<v Speaker 4>and still you freeze. You hear the kids yelling, and

144
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:36.439
<v Speaker 4>the neighbor's fighting. You ever live like that?

145
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

146
00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 4>I do? You want to go back to it?

147
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 8>No?

148
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:41.800
<v Speaker 4>Then why should I?

149
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 2>I have got no answer to that.

150
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 4>I can do all right. There are a hundred girls

151
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 4>who did all right, grab themselves what they could, even

152
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.879
<v Speaker 4>titles like a duchess countess.

153
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:54.279
<v Speaker 2>Why shouldn't I maybe even get to be a queen?

154
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:54.600
<v Speaker 8>Huh?

155
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:55.319
<v Speaker 4>Why not?

156
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:57.399
<v Speaker 2>What about Jack o'donne?

157
00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Oh shut up, Okay, I didn't mean that.

158
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:06.079
<v Speaker 2>I look, if you want advice, I have got none

159
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>to give. If you ask me for something good in

160
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.959
<v Speaker 2>the fourth and hire Lee, okay. If you want to

161
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:12.920
<v Speaker 2>know where there is a quiet game where somebody can

162
00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 2>turn a few bobs, okay too. But if you were

163
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:18.839
<v Speaker 2>asking me to put up a sign inside you telling

164
00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 2>you which way you should go, I am sorry. I

165
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 2>am all out of that kind of advice. In fact,

166
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.199
<v Speaker 2>I never touched the stuff.

167
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 5>Sure, I get it.

168
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 4>It's all up to me.

169
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.039
<v Speaker 8>Huh, it is all up to you.

170
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.519
<v Speaker 4>I guess I had it figured out before I saw you. Yeah,

171
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:39.919
<v Speaker 4>I know I did.

172
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:48.960
<v Speaker 3>So.

173
00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 2>The next night, Idam meets Jack in the park as usual,

174
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>but this time she has got something to tell him,

175
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 2>and the scene is as fun.

176
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 3>There quiet tonight, Ida, m hm, anything wrong, nothing's right.

177
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.200
<v Speaker 3>I'd like to make it all right, Ida, if you'll

178
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.960
<v Speaker 3>give me half a chance. Jack, Look, let me get

179
00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:11.159
<v Speaker 3>this all out before I get myself twisted so I

180
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:14.480
<v Speaker 3>can't talk. Last night, I asked you to marry me

181
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.039
<v Speaker 3>because I love you and you love me.

182
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I love you, but I don't love what you mean. Besides,

183
00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.240
<v Speaker 4>I'm getting married.

184
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 3>You're a kid.

185
00:09:25.039 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 4>No, I'm going away with him next week. Who you

186
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:31.639
<v Speaker 4>don't even know. Amy's from out of town. Saw me

187
00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 4>in a show.

188
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:34.559
<v Speaker 3>Money.

189
00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 4>You make it sound like something dirty.

190
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 3>No, just just something in the way that's right, you know.

191
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:47.639
<v Speaker 3>Right here, I should get up off this bench and

192
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:50.120
<v Speaker 3>say a lot of words. I should tell you you're

193
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:54.799
<v Speaker 3>doing the wrong thing, that you'll be sorry. But I can't, Eida,

194
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 3>I just can't. Good luck.

195
00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.120
<v Speaker 4>Wait a minute, Jack, listen, don't be sore.

196
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm not. I guess it takes a spot like this

197
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:09.360
<v Speaker 3>to make a guy realize what a dope he really is.

198
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 4>Listen, I love you. I'm going away, but I'll be

199
00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:18.720
<v Speaker 4>back a year from the night right here to see you.

200
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Right sure, sure are both of us just like the

201
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.320
<v Speaker 4>first night we net her? Right here every year on

202
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.000
<v Speaker 4>the same date.

203
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Why why are they?

204
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:32.159
<v Speaker 4>I don't know. Maybe it's just that I I gotta

205
00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:35.480
<v Speaker 4>have that much left of us. If you get married,

206
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 4>do the same. You mean that, I swear it.

207
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:48.320
<v Speaker 3>Jack, Okay, Ida, I'll be here every year, same date, same.

208
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:49.639
<v Speaker 4>Time, so will I.

209
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, there are some people who will say that this

210
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 2>is a crazy idea and it will never happen. But

211
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 2>if you will wait, I will tell you how wrong

212
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 2>some people can be. And I will also tell you

213
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:20.039
<v Speaker 2>what happens because of it in a minute.

214
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:23.759
<v Speaker 1>And now back to the Damon Runyon Theatre and the

215
00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:26.159
<v Speaker 1>famous story. Maybe a queen.

216
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Well Ida does get married, and she does leave New

217
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.080
<v Speaker 2>York and the guy she marries has more than enough

218
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:49.039
<v Speaker 2>of the stuff that makes the world go wrong in

219
00:11:49.080 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 2>an expensive way. Then it is a year later, and

220
00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 2>the scene is the same spot in Bryant Park where

221
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 2>Ida and Jack first meet. It is exactly the same time,

222
00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:06.559
<v Speaker 2>And what happens is this, Hi.

223
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 3>Hidah, Jack, Jack, how are you pretty good? Goleta sit down?

224
00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:15.399
<v Speaker 4>Sure of course I am. How you been wonderful?

225
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh you look swell, You're You're as beautiful as ever.

226
00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:22.639
<v Speaker 3>But are you happy? Ida?

227
00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.639
<v Speaker 4>I've got what I want, well, makes it okay?

228
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.720
<v Speaker 3>I guess how's your husband?

229
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:32.399
<v Speaker 4>I I don't know. We've separated.

230
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I'm sorry.

231
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 4>Don't be somebody else has asked me to marry him.

232
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:39.600
<v Speaker 4>I can go to Reno and get a quick divorce.

233
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:41.080
<v Speaker 3>Sure, that's easy.

234
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:43.559
<v Speaker 4>The man who wants me to marry him is wealthy,

235
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:48.720
<v Speaker 4>wealthier than the first. But Jack, you and I?

236
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:52.559
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what about us, Sada? What about us?

237
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 4>We love each other? You still love me.

238
00:12:57.960 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 3>I have never been able to talk myself out of it,

239
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:02.440
<v Speaker 3>nor I You're leave it now?

240
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 4>Yes, kiss me goodbye, same time, next year, same place,

241
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 4>I'll be here.

242
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.759
<v Speaker 2>So Ida and Jack leave it that way, and the

243
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 2>next year they meet, and the next meantime, Ida keeps making.

244
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:34.679
<v Speaker 6>Good scores for herself.

245
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:37.120
<v Speaker 2>We are keeping count along the stem and the book

246
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 2>shows four husbands and some financial arrangements which are certainly

247
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:43.080
<v Speaker 2>not five and ten. But there is never a word

248
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:45.879
<v Speaker 2>of bad talk, and she tells each husband about Jack

249
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.480
<v Speaker 2>and their meet. We figured this is a smart angle

250
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 2>because not one of her husbands is able to put

251
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.159
<v Speaker 2>a smudge against him. Then one night I run into

252
00:13:53.240 --> 00:13:57.639
<v Speaker 2>Jack o'donna hue in Middy's and the scene is as follows.

253
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:02.759
<v Speaker 3>Hello, Broadway, just fine, Jack, How you doing? Oh good?

254
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess you do not mind my mentioning you do

255
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 2>not look so good.

256
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:08.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I got a call a call.

257
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:12.399
<v Speaker 2>You see a doctor tomorrow. How is Idal? Oh?

258
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:16.000
<v Speaker 3>I saw her tonight. She's fine. You wouldn't recognize the Broadway.

259
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.720
<v Speaker 3>She's a lady, real lady. She even talks different now

260
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.279
<v Speaker 3>and she's been all over the world. Told me all

261
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.240
<v Speaker 3>about the places you read about. The beer Itz can

262
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.679
<v Speaker 3>even whistle stops in Africa and India.

263
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:27.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

264
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Ida moves around quite a bit. But no matter

265
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 2>where she is, she always turns up in Brian Park

266
00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:34.159
<v Speaker 2>on the same day.

267
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 8>Huh.

268
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:41.120
<v Speaker 3>She never misses me gee a year ago, slow Jack.

269
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>What will you do if she ever does miss one

270
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.320
<v Speaker 2>of those meetings? She won't Maybe something.

271
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:46.840
<v Speaker 8>Will keep her away.

272
00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Nothing could listen to me, Jack, I watch you now

273
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:53.960
<v Speaker 2>for a long time. You are sick, broke.

274
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:55.720
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I got a few dollar in a second.

275
00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.519
<v Speaker 2>What I am trying to say is that someday item

276
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:01.159
<v Speaker 2>might not get to Brian Park fee a date. You

277
00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:04.000
<v Speaker 2>have got to think about that right now. You keep

278
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 2>alive for just one day.

279
00:15:05.159 --> 00:15:08.799
<v Speaker 3>A year, that's right. Broadway three hundred and sixty four

280
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.600
<v Speaker 3>days I'm dead. One day I come alive.

281
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.519
<v Speaker 2>She might miss one of these years.

282
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 3>She won't stop saying it.

283
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Jack, But meantime, if you have a name, I'll

284
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:20.279
<v Speaker 2>get along.

285
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 3>It's okay, go see it doc. Huh sure, sure tomorrow.

286
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Jack. Meantime, take it easy.

287
00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:39.279
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I always take it easy.

288
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.559
<v Speaker 2>And some more years go by, and some more we

289
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:45.000
<v Speaker 2>watched Jack, And for every one year the rest of

290
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:48.480
<v Speaker 2>us live, Jack puts on about five. He gets gray,

291
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:51.120
<v Speaker 2>and it seems he cannot hold on to it die.

292
00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.039
<v Speaker 2>He just does not care. And meantime, i'd repeat us

293
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:56.879
<v Speaker 2>adds to her score. We see her picture in the

294
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.120
<v Speaker 2>papers quite a bit, and always in society. Each your

295
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.039
<v Speaker 2>husband is a step up for her, until finally she

296
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.559
<v Speaker 2>hits dead center at the target. I read it in

297
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the Bledge, so does Jack, And when they meet again

298
00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:12.159
<v Speaker 2>in Bryant Park, the scene is as follows. I read

299
00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:15.919
<v Speaker 2>all about it, idam, it's well, thank you, Jack. I

300
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.519
<v Speaker 2>guess this will be our last time.

301
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:17.679
<v Speaker 3>To get it.

302
00:16:17.759 --> 00:16:22.559
<v Speaker 4>What makes you say that? Oh Jack, you're sick. Broadway

303
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:23.759
<v Speaker 4>told me you won't see a doctor.

304
00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 3>Oh I'll be all right. I didn't mean I was

305
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.960
<v Speaker 3>going to kick off. I just meant you'd be living

306
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 3>in Europe. How that you're going to marry a prince.

307
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.799
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I walked up the ladder without missing a single run.

308
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:40.000
<v Speaker 4>There's no place else to go. I guess this is it, Jack,

309
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:41.480
<v Speaker 4>what I've always wanted.

310
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:43.720
<v Speaker 3>They see he's a pretty nice guy.

311
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 4>Yes he is. And I told him about you, Jack.

312
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:50.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh what did he say?

313
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.799
<v Speaker 4>It was one of the conditions under which I'd marry him,

314
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:54.000
<v Speaker 4>that i'd see.

315
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.879
<v Speaker 3>You every year, all the way from Europe if I

316
00:16:56.960 --> 00:16:57.240
<v Speaker 3>have to.

317
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:02.279
<v Speaker 4>Yes, he hasn't country. There was a revolution, But.

318
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 3>He's a prince, and you will be a princess.

319
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:10.880
<v Speaker 4>Princess Ida Peters, Watkins, Van Goring, Courtright, Benson, Morgan, Stooping

320
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.359
<v Speaker 4>de Moins. The last name will be on my stationary.

321
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:17.880
<v Speaker 4>The others were the wrongs.

322
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:20.319
<v Speaker 3>But you will be here next year.

323
00:17:20.839 --> 00:17:24.039
<v Speaker 4>I promise. I've never missed.

324
00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:26.960
<v Speaker 3>Please don't ever.

325
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.799
<v Speaker 4>No matter what happens, I'll be here.

326
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.559
<v Speaker 2>So Ida Peters marries a guy who carries the handle

327
00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:45.920
<v Speaker 2>of Prince Paul de Morrat, and she becomes the Princess

328
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:48.960
<v Speaker 2>de mort And from what we hear and read, this

329
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 2>is probably her last time at batt in matrimony. She

330
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.319
<v Speaker 2>has got what she wants, and each year she turns

331
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.680
<v Speaker 2>up in Brian pot to meet Jack o'donahue. Then it

332
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 2>is some time later. Either and the Prince are in

333
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:02.680
<v Speaker 2>New York in their hotel.

334
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:05.960
<v Speaker 8>Either.

335
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:07.519
<v Speaker 5>My dear, where are you right here?

336
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:10.759
<v Speaker 8>I have just received this cablegram.

337
00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 3>Here.

338
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:12.079
<v Speaker 8>Please read it.

339
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.519
<v Speaker 4>Oh what does this mean?

340
00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:21.240
<v Speaker 9>Exactly what it says, my dear, I'm no longer Prince Paul,

341
00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:25.839
<v Speaker 9>but King Paul, the fifth King Paul.

342
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:27.599
<v Speaker 8>The people want me back.

343
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:29.759
<v Speaker 9>I this will give me the chance to do what

344
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.519
<v Speaker 9>I want for my country, and you you will be

345
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:40.039
<v Speaker 9>a queen. No, no, no, but of course, what is it?

346
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.279
<v Speaker 8>My dear, you look frightened.

347
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:46.759
<v Speaker 4>I was just thinking of what someone said a long

348
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 4>time ago.

349
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.440
<v Speaker 8>Oh what is that?

350
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:50.920
<v Speaker 4>Nothing?

351
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.799
<v Speaker 9>I cannot blame you for being so stunned. I was

352
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.160
<v Speaker 9>the same when I received the cable gram. But now

353
00:18:58.400 --> 00:19:01.160
<v Speaker 9>I must cancel all engagements. There's no time to waste either.

354
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:02.720
<v Speaker 9>Take only what you will need on the plane. We

355
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 9>shall have the rest of our luggage sent over later.

356
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:06.680
<v Speaker 4>When when are you leaving?

357
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:10.240
<v Speaker 9>We are leaving immediately, my dear, I have charted the plane.

358
00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:11.559
<v Speaker 9>It leaves in half an hour.

359
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:12.319
<v Speaker 4>I'm not ready.

360
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.960
<v Speaker 9>Where a suit, my dear, well, Please do not stand

361
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:17.000
<v Speaker 9>there looking, Paul.

362
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:18.480
<v Speaker 4>There's something I must do first.

363
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.039
<v Speaker 9>There is nothing you can do first. I must be

364
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.039
<v Speaker 9>in my country tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

365
00:19:23.279 --> 00:19:25.440
<v Speaker 4>Paul, I'll join you there later I cannot.

366
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:28.000

00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:28.359
<v Speaker 8>we will.

368
00:19:28.400 --> 00:19:31.599
<v Speaker 4>I'll join you later the day after tomorrow. There's something

369
00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:32.480
<v Speaker 4>I must do tonight.

370
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:40.319
<v Speaker 8>Oh this Jack Cord Donahue. Yes, no, that is over.

371
00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Please Paul listen to me.

372
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.799
<v Speaker 9>No, you will listen to me for a long time now.

373
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.079
<v Speaker 9>I put up with this sentimental nonsense you feel.

374
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:48.359
<v Speaker 3>For this man.

375
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:50.119
<v Speaker 4>It's not nonsense, that is all it is.

376
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:53.799
<v Speaker 9>As long as I am an x a patriot, it

377
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.400
<v Speaker 9>does not matter. But now that I go back as

378
00:19:56.519 --> 00:20:00.960
<v Speaker 9>king and us Queen must not be one bread.

379
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.680
<v Speaker 5>Of scandal scandal.

380
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 4>There's never been any scandal about me.

381
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:08.160
<v Speaker 8>You do not understand. There will be those who will

382
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:09.160
<v Speaker 8>ridicule talk.

383
00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:09.680
<v Speaker 4>Let them.

384
00:20:09.759 --> 00:20:10.640
<v Speaker 5>I cannot afford it.

385
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:12.079
<v Speaker 4>I cannot go with you tonight.

386
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 8>Are wasting time?

387
00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:13.920
<v Speaker 3>Get ready?

388
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:20.079
<v Speaker 5>No, I will say it once more. Get ready, Paul,

389
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:21.799
<v Speaker 5>I can't.

390
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:24.559
<v Speaker 4>You don't understand, Jack.

391
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:27.079
<v Speaker 8>I will hear no more of that it is over finished.

392
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:28.319
<v Speaker 4>I am going to meet him.

393
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:35.039
<v Speaker 9>You are, yes, Then you force me to say something

394
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:36.480
<v Speaker 9>I do not want to say either.

395
00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:43.279
<v Speaker 8>Look into the mirror. Look what do you see?

396
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:47.960
<v Speaker 9>A woman of forty, a woman who has lived quite

397
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.640
<v Speaker 9>a good deal, a woman who is no longer as

398
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 9>beautiful as once she was. I am sorry, but it

399
00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:00.440
<v Speaker 9>is the truth. You have no money of your own anymore.

400
00:21:01.039 --> 00:21:06.599
<v Speaker 8>But you have. I gave you the jewels, everything I die.

401
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:08.119
<v Speaker 5>I give you this chance to go with me.

402
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:12.079
<v Speaker 4>If you do not take it, it is not a threat.

403
00:21:12.599 --> 00:21:14.039
<v Speaker 4>Believe me, you wouldn't do it.

404
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:18.039
<v Speaker 5>But yes, but yes, I have my pride too.

405
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:20.759
<v Speaker 9>If you stay here tonight and meet this man, it

406
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.279
<v Speaker 9>is a slap in my face that I will not take,

407
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 9>even from you.

408
00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:30.119
<v Speaker 8>Ida. What are you doing?

409
00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:39.079
<v Speaker 4>Leaving you everything here? This ring? This is mine? The

410
00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:39.920
<v Speaker 4>rest is yours.

411
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:43.480
<v Speaker 8>You are making the decision.

412
00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:47.839
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, Paul, it is one I should have made

413
00:21:48.000 --> 00:22:01.599
<v Speaker 4>years ago. Broadway, Broadway, Hello, there have you seen Jack?

414
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:02.079
<v Speaker 3>Jack?

415
00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:03.559
<v Speaker 4>No, he's not in the park.

416
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.279
<v Speaker 2>He is not. Oh this is the night you had

417
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:06.759
<v Speaker 2>the date with it.

00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:07.440
<v Speaker 4>But he's not there.

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:08.119
<v Speaker 7>I just left.

420
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.279
<v Speaker 2>I do not see him for some time. In fact,

421
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:10.839
<v Speaker 2>almost the wall.

422
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:12.920
<v Speaker 4>Help me find him. Please help me find it.

423
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I take it easy. You call his hotel.

424
00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:17.119
<v Speaker 4>Yes, he left him plenty of time to get to

425
00:22:17.119 --> 00:22:19.319
<v Speaker 4>the park by eleven, but he wasn't there. I waited,

426
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:20.000
<v Speaker 4>he wasn't there.

427
00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:20.839
<v Speaker 2>How long do you wait?

428
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:21.480
<v Speaker 4>Five minutes?

429
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:22.640
<v Speaker 8>Well, maybe you.

430
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Do not give him enough time. Come on, we will

431
00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:26.680
<v Speaker 2>go to the park and see.

432
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 4>You see he's not here. Broadway this is the place.

433
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:38.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I see he is not here.

<v Speaker 4>Broadway? Where is here?

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Very excited?

437
00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:41.920

<v Speaker 3>He's got there.

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 2>There is a taxi pull enough, although I do not

440
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:46.720
<v Speaker 2>think Jack has enough taught to take a cab from

<v Speaker 3>kind of busted inside.

467
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:47.799
<v Speaker 4>I would have waited for you, Jack. I would have.

468
00:23:47.680 --> 00:23:53.960
<v Speaker 3>Waited, honey, but I always like to be here first. Gee,

469
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.920
<v Speaker 3>I I'm sorry I was late late.

470
00:23:59.119 --> 00:24:02.720
<v Speaker 4>You I'm the one who's late.

471
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:04.279
<v Speaker 3>Very late.

472
00:24:09.839 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, there is not much more to tell. We get

473
00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Jack to a hospital and the doc tells us that

474
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.519
<v Speaker 2>he has a fifty to fifty chance if his lungs

475
00:24:16.519 --> 00:24:20.160
<v Speaker 2>are okay, but they are not. It is some hours

476
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.400
<v Speaker 2>later when I and I to leave the hospital and Jack.

477
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:27.480
<v Speaker 2>There is nothing more to do. But the story is

478
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.559
<v Speaker 2>not over. And what the payoff is I will tell

479
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:47.359
<v Speaker 2>you in a minute. Well, everybody is sorry to hear

480
00:24:47.400 --> 00:24:49.680
<v Speaker 2>about Jack, and everybody says that I'd have beat us,

481
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:53.880
<v Speaker 2>gives him a bump shake. What do they know about it? Anyhow?

482
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.160
<v Speaker 2>I do not see Ida until a long time. Actively

483
00:24:56.200 --> 00:24:57.599
<v Speaker 2>when I stop in a place for a cup of

484
00:24:57.640 --> 00:24:59.759
<v Speaker 2>coffee about three in the morning, and who is there?

485
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.759
<v Speaker 2>But she sees me, gives me a smile and says.

486
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:06.839
<v Speaker 5>I'm very glad to see Broadway and me you it

487
00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:07.839
<v Speaker 5>is a long time.

488
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Why do you not come around anymore?

489
00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:12.680
<v Speaker 4>I'd have to pass the part?

490
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:15.359
<v Speaker 5>Well, you could go the other way, I can't.

491
00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:17.359
<v Speaker 2>You.

492
00:25:17.359 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 4>You were looking well, okay, I guess you never changed.

493
00:25:21.480 --> 00:25:22.519
<v Speaker 6>I am a landmark.

494
00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:24.759
<v Speaker 2>If I change, a lot of people will lose their

495
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:29.240
<v Speaker 2>way around this there. Sure I see by the papers

496
00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:31.559
<v Speaker 2>that the prince is now a king.

497
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:34.759
<v Speaker 5>Yes he is, and you could be a queen?

498
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:36.440
<v Speaker 4>Like rolling off a log.

499
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:40.400
<v Speaker 2>What are you going to have me? Coffee?

500
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:44.680
<v Speaker 4>Coming right up? You know? I'll bet this is the

501
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:47.599
<v Speaker 4>only coffee joined in town with a waitress whose ex

502
00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:48.599
<v Speaker 4>husband is a king.

503
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:05.079
<v Speaker 1>And so ends the famous Damon Runyon story. Maybe a

504
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Queen listening again next week for the Damon Runyon Theater.

505
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:28.720
<v Speaker 1>The Damon Runyon Theater with John Brown as Broadway, is

506
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:31.640
<v Speaker 1>directed by Richard Sandville and the story is adapted for

507
00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:35.440
<v Speaker 1>radio by Russell Hughes. Bern Carstensen is in charge of production.

508
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:37.839
<v Speaker 1>This is a Mayfair production
