00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:08.919
<v Speaker 1>The Damon Runyon Theater.

2
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 2>Once again, the Damon Runyon Theater brings you another story

3
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:28.960
<v Speaker 2>by the master story teller, Damon Runyon, unless one the

4
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>melancholy Dane, and to tell it to you here is Broadway.

5
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Thanks well.

6
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 4>It is a matter of a few years back that

7
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 4>I am sitting in Mindy's enjoying a snack when I

8
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:41.479
<v Speaker 4>look up and see that Ambrose Hammer, the dramatic critic, is.

9
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Looking down at me.

10
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 4>Now, it happens quite often the citizens come into Mindy's

11
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.240
<v Speaker 4>and pick my table for some discussion or other, so

12
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 4>I think nothing of it when Ambrose.

13
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:53.320
<v Speaker 3>Seats himself and opens the proceedings as fun.

14
00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 5>Hello Broadway, doing anything special to night?

15
00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.359
<v Speaker 3>No, what is on your mind?

16
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 5>Want to go to a play? But kind Hamlet.

17
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Owner never see it. I never see it, but I

18
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 3>know all about it.

19
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.159
<v Speaker 4>At two in the morning, this place is crowded with

20
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.599
<v Speaker 4>citizens who think they are acted, and who do all

21
00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 4>their practicing as followed.

22
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.879
<v Speaker 3>To be or not to be, That is the question

23
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.040
<v Speaker 3>whether it is nobler in the mind.

24
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 4>To suffer et cetera, et cetera, to wit You know, Ambrose,

25
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.439
<v Speaker 4>That makes for very dull conversation because it is very

26
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 4>one sided.

27
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 5>Anyhow, go with me tonight.

28
00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:27.359
<v Speaker 3>What is special about tonight?

29
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:31.560
<v Speaker 5>Mansfield Southern is playing the Melancholy Dame.

30
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 3>I think you say it is Hamlet. Yes, it is

31
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 3>Mansfield Southern.

32
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:37.719
<v Speaker 5>Eh the same.

33
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:40.760
<v Speaker 4>But is he not the musical comedy citizens It seems

34
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:42.359
<v Speaker 4>to me he is reaching for a wide moment when

35
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:43.480
<v Speaker 4>he swings at Shakespeare.

36
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:45.079
<v Speaker 3>Ah, that is just.

37
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 5>It, Broadway. We are going to see Hamlet tonight and

38
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:52.040
<v Speaker 5>in the morning I'll make Mansfield Southern with Shakespeare had

39
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 5>written only letters to his tailor.

40
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 4>So I go along with Ambrose Hamlet to see Mansfield

41
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.719
<v Speaker 4>Southern in a Hamlet. It seems to me at the

42
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 4>time that Ambrose is more than somewhat prejudiced before he

43
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 4>even sees the play.

44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:13.639
<v Speaker 3>And I wonder why I find out. And the story

45
00:02:13.680 --> 00:02:15.360
<v Speaker 3>from there is a peculiar one.

46
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:18.400
<v Speaker 4>Indeed, in fact, it does not stop in New York,

47
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:20.039
<v Speaker 4>but goes on to a place.

48
00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Called North Africa.

49
00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.000
<v Speaker 4>It takes in a war, and the strangest performance of

50
00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 4>Hamlet that ever takes place. And I will tell you

51
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:43.599
<v Speaker 4>all about it in a minute.

52
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>And now back to the Damon Runy in theater and

53
00:02:46.560 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 2>a famous story, the Melancholy Dane.

54
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.719
<v Speaker 4>Like I am saying, I see a Hamlet with Ambrose Hammer. Now,

55
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 4>I personally prefer shows which have a little more dancing

56
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.400
<v Speaker 4>and singer. So I am glad when Ambrose nudges me

57
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:13.039
<v Speaker 4>at the end of the first act and says he

58
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.080
<v Speaker 4>has enough. Well it comes up the next morning when

59
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 4>I am again an innate at this time for breakfast, and.

60
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:20.560
<v Speaker 3>In comes Mansfield Southern.

61
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:24.759
<v Speaker 6>He looks at me and says, ah, Broadway.

62
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:28.400
<v Speaker 4>Ah, mister Southern, what brings you shuffling into this mortal quail?

63
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 6>Don't be flippant? Where's Hammer?

64
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 3>Why I do not see him this morning? You are

65
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 3>looking for him? I am going to kill him my

66
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 3>mine for breakfast.

67
00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 7>That man is a duster, the coward. He uses his

68
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 7>position to revent all his petty spies and hatreds. I

69
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:46.599
<v Speaker 7>tell you, Broadway, it will but skin and film the

70
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.039
<v Speaker 7>ulcerous place whilst rank corruption mining all within infects unseen.

71
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.319
<v Speaker 3>Please Mansfield, not while I am eating.

72
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:58.000
<v Speaker 6>Oh what a rogue Broadway read that review.

73
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 4>Last night Mansfield Southern played Hamlet, but not to win.

74
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.719
<v Speaker 4>M Hm, mister Southern, who has stolen the names of

75
00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 4>two great actors to make one bad one?

76
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 7>The dog, the lowly treacherous dog that doth snap at

77
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 7>heels in passion and frenzy. Too churlish to assume me

78
00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:21.319
<v Speaker 7>in the mosque of courage and make a fight of

79
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.480
<v Speaker 7>greater things in Mansfield.

80
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 3>If you wish me to read this, I'm sorry.

81
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 6>Read Mister Southern.

82
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 4>Sounded as though he were delivering lines from the depths

83
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 4>of a coal mine.

84
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:34.040
<v Speaker 3>By voice.

85
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 6>He is making sport of my boy.

86
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 4>In his interpretation, the melancholy Dane assumed the stature of

87
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:46.240
<v Speaker 4>a frantic housewife who has left her keys behind and

88
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.120
<v Speaker 4>smells the meat burden in the kitchen. In this case,

89
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 4>Amasa tis enough, Broadway, I'll kill him.

90
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 8>You will kill who?

91
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.160
<v Speaker 5>Southern you you were talking about killing somebody?

92
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 7>You ooh you by logical extravagance.

93
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 5>I'll go someplace else and blow off that head of steam.

94
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.680
<v Speaker 6>For two pins, I twist your neck.

95
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 5>If I had two pins, I'd pay the admission to

96
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:09.920
<v Speaker 5>see you try it.

97
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 6>You know you're safe.

98
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 7>I'd never get another job if I touched the hair

99
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:13.879
<v Speaker 7>of your fiendish head.

100
00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 5>Well, maybe someday you'll get the chance.

101
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:19.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh tis a hope I cherish to my heart.

102
00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.600
<v Speaker 7>Get off the stage, Southern, you didn't even wait for

103
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:23.600
<v Speaker 7>the last four hours.

104
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 5>Sudden, when I open an egg, I don't have to

105
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 5>eat the whole thing to find out if it's bad.

106
00:05:28.319 --> 00:05:30.279
<v Speaker 7>You know why you gave me that review because of

107
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 7>miss Chanelle Cooper.

108
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 5>You're crazy.

109
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:35.519
<v Speaker 7>Ay, yes, because she preferred me to you. You took

110
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 7>this course of vilify me to stretch me out upon

111
00:05:37.839 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 7>a rack of ridicule.

112
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 5>Look when you took on Hamlet to lay yourself open

113
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 5>to this, you should have started a musical comedy.

114
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 7>Someday, someday you eat those words, so help me, I'll

115
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 7>make you eat them.

116
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:50.079
<v Speaker 5>I'll have to be very, very hungry.

117
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 6>You know what you've done. You've blasted my life, blasted at.

118
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:57.560
<v Speaker 5>Is thought to have the engineer hoist with his own patent.

119
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.639
<v Speaker 7>Miss Cooper refuses to see me this morning, Miss Pursho's

120
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 7>remarkable taste. Someday you're going to be at my mercy

121
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.279
<v Speaker 7>and everything help you.

122
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 5>But by mister Southern Oh, and by the way, I'm

123
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:13.720
<v Speaker 5>dining with Miss Cooper this evening. Then we're going to

124
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 5>a good show.

125
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 7>Hasten my steps, lest my hands betray my intelligence and

126
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:19.199
<v Speaker 7>strike again.

127
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 5>Exit one bad Hamlet.

128
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.079
<v Speaker 3>You play pretty rough with him.

129
00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:26.160
<v Speaker 5>Ambro Well, he shouldn't have taken a fancy to miss Cooper,

130
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:27.639
<v Speaker 5>not while I had a fancy.

131
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 3>That is the only reason you put the fire and rim.

132
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.399
<v Speaker 5>Well, No, he is a very bad Hamlet, don't you

133
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 5>think so.

134
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:34.920
<v Speaker 6>I am no judge.

135
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 3>That is your business.

136
00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.279
<v Speaker 4>But it seems to me that the affair of this

137
00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:41.040
<v Speaker 4>miss Chanelle Cooper does more than a little too.

138
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 3>Word Well, they say in books, sir, color your judge.

139
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 5>Ah, forget it.

140
00:06:45.560 --> 00:06:46.439
<v Speaker 3>He is very mad.

141
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 5>So what all actors get mad at a bad review?

142
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:52.519
<v Speaker 5>They blame the critics, accuse us a biased stupidity, Broadway,

143
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:56.079
<v Speaker 5>any actor will blame anyone but himself for a bad performance.

144
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 3>No, but the less Ambrose, it seems you now make

145
00:06:58.600 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 3>an enemy.

146
00:06:59.439 --> 00:07:02.720
<v Speaker 5>Him, Broadway. I'll never live to see the day that

147
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 5>costume Geiser can hurt me, so says Ambrose.

148
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.480
<v Speaker 3>Hammer. Well, it is about this time that the war

149
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:14.399
<v Speaker 3>breaks out, and.

150
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.120
<v Speaker 4>I see nothing of Ambrose or Mansfield Southern, but quite

151
00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:20.279
<v Speaker 4>a spell. Then it is a long time later that

152
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 4>I am sitting at Middies when I see it for me,

153
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.759
<v Speaker 4>your face, Ambrose it He comes over to me, and

154
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.079
<v Speaker 4>the scene is as follows.

155
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.399
<v Speaker 5>Well, Well, Broadway, this is where I left.

156
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 3>You, Ambrose May. It is good to see you again.

157
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 5>It's good to be back, even with this.

158

00:10:55.960 --> 00:11:06.000
<v Speaker 5>And see which side he's betting on. Let's go well, Broadway,

236
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:08.919
<v Speaker 5>I found myself in that jeep tearing along a road

237
00:11:08.919 --> 00:11:11.279
<v Speaker 5>that's been hit by everything from machine gun bullets to

238
00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:14.240
<v Speaker 5>airplane bombs. Then we get to a place where two

239
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 5>roads branched off. Ginger stopped the gee. Looks like we

240
00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 5>take the road to the right.

241
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:22.759
<v Speaker 6>Bama.

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I guess so the fronts up that way. Yeah,

243
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:27.759

00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:28.759
<v Speaker 5>pound in that sector.

245
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.840
<v Speaker 3>So wherever they're pounding is wherever the war is ready?

246
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yes, I guess so.

247
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:35.480

276
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.360
<v Speaker 5>it won't because you know what they say about lightning. Okay,

277
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 5>but I'll thank you to deliver that message to the cherries.

278
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 5>The chances are they they haven't heard it.

279
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here we go, Bama.

280
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:21.879
<v Speaker 6>Back to the war.

<v Speaker 5>So long, mister, so long? Did you good luck? So long,

<v Speaker 5>mister so long, Bamma. I hope you keep losing bets

283
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:34.200
<v Speaker 5>And so there I was Broadway out in the middle

284
00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.559
<v Speaker 5>of North Africa with a very embarrassing wound.

285
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.360
<v Speaker 4>But then what happen? Where is Mansfield Southern coming right there?

286
00:13:40.480 --> 00:13:43.320
<v Speaker 5>But not until later and Broadway. Maybe you won't believe

287
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:45.399
<v Speaker 5>what I'm gonna tell you, but so help me, it's

288
00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 5>the absolute truth.

289
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 3>With that, Ambrose settles back and lights a cigarette.

290
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:56.399
<v Speaker 5>Then he begins to talk again.

291
00:13:56.840 --> 00:13:57.919
<v Speaker 3>And what he tells me is.

292
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.960
<v Speaker 4>A strange story, indeed, and I will tell you what

293
00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 4>it is in a minute.

294
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:20.080
<v Speaker 2>And now back to the damon runy in theater and

295
00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:22.720
<v Speaker 2>the famous story the melancholy dame.

296
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Like I say, Ambrose Hamma goes on with his store.

297
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:38.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah there, I was all by myself in the night.

298
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:41.200
<v Speaker 5>Then I guess I passed out because I don't remember

299
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.120
<v Speaker 5>a thing until I heard somebody talking Broadway. What I

300
00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:47.159
<v Speaker 5>heard made the goose flesh come up on my skin.

301
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:51.039
<v Speaker 5>Just think a dark night. The jairy is blasting away

302
00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:54.120
<v Speaker 5>in the distance, guys in tanks behind guns, and suddenly

303
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:56.840
<v Speaker 5>I hear a voice.

304
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:59.720
<v Speaker 6>Like beds fight for a plot where on the numbers

305
00:14:59.759 --> 00:15:01.480
<v Speaker 6>cat I'll try the cause.

306
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:07.960
<v Speaker 7>Men's Field Southern shut up, cannot dry the cause which

307
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:11.200
<v Speaker 7>is not toomb enough and continent to hide the sleeve.

308
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:17.440
<v Speaker 6>Recognize that hammer, Southern you. Yes, how are you?

309
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:18.159
<v Speaker 5>I'm hit?

310
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.000
<v Speaker 6>Anatomically speaking, you're hitting the only place a drama critic

311
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:22.799
<v Speaker 6>has feelings.

312
00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:24.159
<v Speaker 5>Look, what time is it?

313
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:25.879
<v Speaker 6>Time three?

314
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:29.200
<v Speaker 5>But when Ginger and Bama went, it was only nine.

315
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:31.639
<v Speaker 6>Ginger and Bama friends of yours.

316
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.600
<v Speaker 5>They went to get the medicals for me. They ought

317
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:34.360
<v Speaker 5>to be back by now.

318
00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 6>So well, the chances are they won't be back.

319
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:41.720
<v Speaker 5>Why not while you were asleep. I passed out from

320
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 5>my wound.

321
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:46.000
<v Speaker 7>While you were asleep, the jerry sliced through and cut

322
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:46.679
<v Speaker 7>off this sector.

323
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:49.559
<v Speaker 6>Amma, you and I are alone.

324
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:52.639
<v Speaker 5>Look someone, I'm wounded. I'll bleed to death.

325
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.679
<v Speaker 6>Yes, while you were sleeping, I poured something powder on

326
00:15:55.720 --> 00:15:58.720
<v Speaker 6>your wood. You're in no danger.

327
00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:03.320
<v Speaker 5>Well, I've got to see you're in pain. Hammer, Yes,

328
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:04.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm in pain.

329
00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:08.320
<v Speaker 6>It hurts just so not so wide?

330
00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:11.279
<v Speaker 5>Does a church door all so deep as a well?

331
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.360
<v Speaker 5>But listen, will you stop spouting Shakespeare and get us

332
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:17.639
<v Speaker 5>out of here? Do you have any suggestion I'm a

333
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 5>stranger here, I'm not. I've been here for weeks and

334
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:24.440
<v Speaker 5>week Yes, yes, I see you're in uniform.

335
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:31.240
<v Speaker 7>Yes, try to move all right, Oh, I can't bright

336
00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:35.519
<v Speaker 7>bright pain that maketh children of us. All Now, you

337
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:37.639
<v Speaker 7>know what I felt like after that review you gave

338
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:38.000
<v Speaker 7>me for.

339
00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:40.279
<v Speaker 5>The love of Mike Mansfield. You're not thinking about that

340
00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:41.919
<v Speaker 5>at a time like this, but I am.

341
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.279
<v Speaker 6>I've thought of nothing else. Hammer. Do you know what

342
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:46.120
<v Speaker 6>you did in my dramatic career over that review?

343
00:16:46.360 --> 00:16:49.559
<v Speaker 5>Stars? You were a musical comedy star. You shouldn't have

344
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:50.759
<v Speaker 5>tried Shakespeare much.

345
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.600
<v Speaker 7>Less, Hamy, I see, according to your philosophy, Hammer, a

346
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:56.120
<v Speaker 7>man must live and die in the same right, all right,

347
00:16:56.279 --> 00:16:56.879
<v Speaker 7>all right.

348
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.039
<v Speaker 5>I just need to hear no there, right now, just

349
00:16:59.080 --> 00:16:59.960
<v Speaker 5>get me to a doctor.

350
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 6>I could leave you here.

351
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.200
<v Speaker 7>I could leave you here and spend night afternoon, day after.

352
00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Day thinking delicious.

353
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:13.359
<v Speaker 5>Thoughts of the pain you are sudden, You're insane. You

354
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:14.359
<v Speaker 5>wouldn't allow.

355
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:22.039
<v Speaker 7>No, I guess I wouldn't, Hammer. I have a much

356
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.039
<v Speaker 7>better idea, much better.

357
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:27.000
<v Speaker 5>What is it?

358
00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:33.279
<v Speaker 7>Ah, You'll see, my kindly viper, You'll see I guess

359
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:36.359
<v Speaker 7>I've got to carry you. It won't be comfortable, Hammer,

360
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 7>not at all. In fact, it will probably hurt a

361
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:45.119
<v Speaker 7>great deal, But for your sins you shall pay.

362
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:58.319
<v Speaker 6>Ah, this will do very well. Down you go.

363
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:03.720
<v Speaker 5>Where are we? What is this place?

364
00:18:03.920 --> 00:18:06.319
<v Speaker 6>At one time it might have been a stone house?

365
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:08.920
<v Speaker 6>Right now your guess is as.

366
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:10.599
<v Speaker 5>Good as mine, for we can't stay here?

367
00:18:10.880 --> 00:18:11.240
<v Speaker 6>Why not?

368
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:13.920
<v Speaker 5>Where the jerry? You? You said they had this sect?

369
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:14.599
<v Speaker 6>That's right?

370
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.799
<v Speaker 7>But you and I have a little business, Hammer, and

371
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:20.519
<v Speaker 7>this is an excellent place to conduct it. What do

372
00:18:20.599 --> 00:18:24.240
<v Speaker 7>you mean, as I recall, you saw only one act

373
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 7>of my hamlet?

374
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:26.039
<v Speaker 5>Or what's that got to do?

375
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:28.519
<v Speaker 6>Is anything you missed my greatest scene?

376
00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 5>Suddenly sudden you've gone.

377
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:35.039
<v Speaker 7>Crazyes my greatest scene, for example, the scene with the

378
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:38.160
<v Speaker 7>grave diggers. You have to mention that at a time

379
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:42.279
<v Speaker 7>like this, mister Hammer, since you missed most of my performance,

380
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:45.160
<v Speaker 7>it's only far to you that you've see it.

381
00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Now what.

382
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:52.000
<v Speaker 6>The grave digger scene? This is quite a setting for it.

383
00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:55.200
<v Speaker 7>Ruins earth that has felt the terr of war, the

384
00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:57.119
<v Speaker 7>terrible wind of combat.

385
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:00.759
<v Speaker 5>You are crazy, No, quite the law Lord Harry.

386
00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.880
<v Speaker 6>You're going to watch me this time. You're going to

387
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:05.000
<v Speaker 6>sit through my performance.

388
00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:09.519
<v Speaker 7>This is an experience any actor would give his soul

389
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:10.359
<v Speaker 7>to go through.

390
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:16.119
<v Speaker 6>Now, let's see a scall. I've got to have a skull.

391
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.839
<v Speaker 6>Don't look at me like that.

392
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:24.720
<v Speaker 5>Uh, stone not a skull, but near enough.

393
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:27.680
<v Speaker 6>Now listen, Hammer.

394
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:31.039
<v Speaker 5>Listen, shut on the jerry are shelling this place?

395
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:31.640
<v Speaker 6>Quiet?

396
00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:32.720
<v Speaker 10>Now?

397
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:39.759
<v Speaker 6>Listen alas, poor Jory. I knew him Horatio.

398
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.680
<v Speaker 7>I forgot to tell you, Hammer, you're playing Horatio, Horra,

399
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:43.880
<v Speaker 7>saysan not.

400
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.119
<v Speaker 6>Now wait for your queue please.

401
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:53.680
<v Speaker 7>I knew him, a fellow of infinite jest, of most

402
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:54.799
<v Speaker 7>excellent fancy.

403
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 6>He has borne me on his back a thousand times now.

404
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 5>And there I lay Broadway, watching and listening.

405
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.039
<v Speaker 3>He really goes on through Hamlet.

406
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:16.079
<v Speaker 5>Everything I missed he did, and you're a wound. It

407
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:19.480
<v Speaker 5>gave me terrible pain. And believe me, Broadway, it is

408
00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.359
<v Speaker 5>not easy to remember Hamlet and play Horatio lying on

409
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:23.839
<v Speaker 5>your face in stone and mud.

410
00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:26.039
<v Speaker 3>But what happens then?

411
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.960
<v Speaker 5>For more than an hour sudden went on. He played

412
00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.759
<v Speaker 5>all the parts, and I watched him and listen a.

413
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.599
<v Speaker 6>While. And in this harsh world.

414
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:39.759
<v Speaker 5>Thanks for the love of Mike, that one came close

415
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:43.839
<v Speaker 5>enough to shaves, very close. But there's not much more,

416
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.559
<v Speaker 5>not much more, looks there's another speech by him, and

417
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 5>fought and Bras and Horatio and English. No, no, we'll

418
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:52.440
<v Speaker 5>all be killed.

419
00:20:52.759 --> 00:20:55.000
<v Speaker 6>That is entirely possible. But what have I to live

420
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:56.000
<v Speaker 6>for my career.

421
00:20:56.359 --> 00:20:59.559
<v Speaker 7>You ruined that, Ms Cooper, You roasted me so completely,

422
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:00.559
<v Speaker 7>she thought I as an idiot.

423
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:02.480
<v Speaker 5>You mind if I say I'd like to go on living.

424
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.279
<v Speaker 6>Why should you to ruin another career?

425
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:05.920
<v Speaker 7>Tonight's the hopes of still another actor?

426
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:08.400
<v Speaker 5>You're kidding, You're not serious.

427
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:09.000
<v Speaker 6>How do you know?

428
00:21:09.160 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, you can't be.

429
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 6>It's murder.

430
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:12.920
<v Speaker 5>I prefer to call it justice.

431
00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 6>I and your career as you ended mine.

432
00:21:15.680 --> 00:21:23.680
<v Speaker 5>All Right, you stay, I'll go very leave. I can't walk.

433
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:24.319
<v Speaker 6>I thought that.

434
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:28.480
<v Speaker 5>Well, goodbye, Hammer, you're leaving me. If you're lucky, the

435
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:29.680
<v Speaker 5>Jerry's will take over soon.

436
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:32.720
<v Speaker 6>Then it's only capture for you. Goodbye, Hammer.

437
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:39.319
<v Speaker 7>Sudden Wait, wait, Sudden, Sudden, all stop squawking.

438
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:43.319
<v Speaker 6>You can't be Yes, I came back.

439
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:45.680
<v Speaker 7>I'm about to do something for which my final actors

440
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:46.440
<v Speaker 7>will never forgive me.

441
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:46.799
<v Speaker 5>Hammer.

442
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:49.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm I'm going to get you.

443
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Out of here.

444
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:51.799
<v Speaker 5>Why did you come back, Summer?

445
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:54.839
<v Speaker 7>Why because I didn't finish the last act?

446
00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.400
<v Speaker 5>Hammer, I've almost let you walk too easy, but I

447
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:03.279
<v Speaker 5>swore you here the whole thing, and you will I see. Okay, Man,

448
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:04.119
<v Speaker 5>let's go.

449
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 6>Put your arms around my neck and hold on.

450
00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.599
<v Speaker 7>I'll have to crawl, crawl, as soon as the place

451
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:12.319
<v Speaker 7>is infested with Jerry's. But before we go home, tell

452
00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:14.440
<v Speaker 7>me one more thing, Hammer, what's that means?

453
00:22:14.480 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 5>Feel?

454
00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:16.880
<v Speaker 6>Are you still suffering with pain?

455
00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:17.319
<v Speaker 5>Yes?

456
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.519
<v Speaker 10>Then to my task and hammer, please groan once in

457
00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:35.119
<v Speaker 10>a while to keep up my morah.

458
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.559
<v Speaker 5>So he crawled with me on his back Broadway through

459
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.279
<v Speaker 5>the Jerry line, right through. I'll never forget that night,

460
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:44.799
<v Speaker 5>especially while I remember Southern whispering very softly to himself,

461
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:48.680
<v Speaker 5>imperious Caesar dead and turned to Clay might stop a

462
00:22:48.720 --> 00:22:50.240
<v Speaker 5>hole to keep the wind away.

463
00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:51.680
<v Speaker 3>How long does this go on?

464
00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:54.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. I passed out, and when I woke up,

465
00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:56.279
<v Speaker 5>I was in a field hospital in American World.

466
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:58.039
<v Speaker 3>But what about Serven? What becomes a him?

467
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.440
<v Speaker 5>I never saw him again? I heard he was decorated

468
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.039
<v Speaker 5>for saving me, and several times later for various actions.

469
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:04.880
<v Speaker 3>But where is he?

470
00:23:05.279 --> 00:23:06.440
<v Speaker 5>And I see you don't keep.

471
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Up with the theater Broadway, just the musical comedist search why.

472
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:12.960
<v Speaker 5>Mansfield Southern is opening tonight in.

473
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Hamlet again? Wait a minute, are you gonna review it?

474
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:20.319
<v Speaker 5>My paper? Assign me to it?

475
00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:22.119
<v Speaker 6>O Broadway?

476
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.559
<v Speaker 5>He is a lousy Hamlet, you still think? So I'll

477
00:23:26.599 --> 00:23:27.599
<v Speaker 5>never change my mind.

478
00:23:27.759 --> 00:23:29.640
<v Speaker 4>But if he opens the night and you are going

479
00:23:29.640 --> 00:23:32.200
<v Speaker 4>to review the show and he saves you, I've already

480
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 4>written the review without seeing the play.

481
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:36.599
<v Speaker 5>If you think I'm going to sit through one more

482
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:40.440
<v Speaker 5>performance of Hamlet, You're crazy. I've written my review and

483
00:23:40.480 --> 00:23:41.359
<v Speaker 5>it'll be printed as I.

484
00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:42.359
<v Speaker 3>Wrote it for Ambrose.

485
00:23:42.440 --> 00:23:46.279
<v Speaker 5>That's all Broadway. You can read my review in tomorrow's paper.

486
00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:54.559
<v Speaker 4>With that, Ambrose Hammer gets up and leaves Limpin more

487
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.680
<v Speaker 4>than someone naturally. I am very curious, indeed, as to

488
00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 4>what his review is. I find out the next morning. Also,

489
00:24:01.839 --> 00:24:04.319
<v Speaker 4>the payoff to the story comes the next morning, and

490
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:27.480
<v Speaker 4>what it is I will tell you in a minute. Well,

491
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:29.839
<v Speaker 4>like I say, I am in Mindy's the next morning,

492
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:32.000
<v Speaker 4>and I am just starting to read the dramatic page

493
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 4>when I look up and see somebody come into my table,

494
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:36.759
<v Speaker 4>and who is it but Mansfield's servant.

495
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:39.279
<v Speaker 3>He looks at me and then speaks, as.

496
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.440
<v Speaker 6>Fun, Broadway, have you seen Ambrose Hammer not.

497
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:45.119
<v Speaker 3>This morning, Man's Field? Why are you looking for him?

498
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:45.440
<v Speaker 6>Yes?

499
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.759
<v Speaker 8>I am looking for him. Oh I see, did you

500
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:50.559
<v Speaker 8>read the review? I am just getting to it when

501
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:53.920
<v Speaker 8>you come in read it maybe later. I saved his life.

502
00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:57.640
<v Speaker 8>I saved his miserable, narrow life. All what a fool,

503
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 8>just Amy you are? Read that review?

504
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.160
<v Speaker 3>Sure, sure, Mansfield.

505
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:04.759
<v Speaker 7>I'll say one thing for him, though he praised me

506
00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:08.480
<v Speaker 7>to miss Chanel Cooper. But what a little thing, What

507
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:11.160
<v Speaker 7>a small return for my gesture?

508
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.559
<v Speaker 3>Ore, Then everything between you and miss Cooper is all right.

509
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:15.279
<v Speaker 6>I suppose that we're going to be married.

510
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:17.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, that seems to indicate a pleasant relationship between the

511
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:18.279
<v Speaker 4>two of you.

512
00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:22.039
<v Speaker 6>The review man. Read it, and see what a scurrilous

513
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:23.279
<v Speaker 6>knave that hammer is.

514
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:28.759
<v Speaker 4>Sure in Mansfield, Southern's inspired performance of Hamlet last night

515
00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:33.920
<v Speaker 4>leads us to the hope that in this sterling young actor, well.

516
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 6>Go on, go on, you haven't come to the villainous part.

517
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:39.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh, in this sterling young actor, we have a new

518
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:42.279
<v Speaker 4>dramatic force of the power in Shakespearean roles.

519
00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:46.119
<v Speaker 3>Of all the mighty figures of another day, Mansfield.

520
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:49.160
<v Speaker 4>I see nothing in miss to make you the next phrase, Broadway,

521
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.920
<v Speaker 4>The next phrase, that's the one. Read it, of all

522
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:55.480
<v Speaker 4>the mighty figures of another day, including even the immortal

523
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:57.079
<v Speaker 4>John Barrymore.

524
00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 7>The dog, the treacherous dog.

525
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.119
<v Speaker 4>Wait a minute, at Mansfield, it seems to me that

526
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:05.160
<v Speaker 4>Ambrose pays you off in full account with him, including

527
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:06.000
<v Speaker 4>saving his life.

528
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:09.799
<v Speaker 3>He gives you Mischonelle Cooper. He also establishes your future

529
00:26:09.839 --> 00:26:11.000
<v Speaker 3>in the theater Broadway.

530
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.039
<v Speaker 7>There is still a streak of venom left in Ambrose Hammer.

531
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:17.279
<v Speaker 6>If there weren't, why.

532
00:26:17.119 --> 00:26:21.000
<v Speaker 7>Should he even mention John Barrymore in the same review.

533
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.839
<v Speaker 2>And so ends the famous Damon Runyon story The Melancholy Dame,

534
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:35.759
<v Speaker 2>listening again next week for.

535
00:26:40.559 --> 00:26:55.039
<v Speaker 1>The Damon Runyon Theater. The Damon Runyon.

536
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Theater with John Brown as Broadway is directed by Richard

538

<v Speaker 2>Berne Carstensen is in charge of production. This is a

539
00:27:05.640 --> 00:27:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Mayfair production.
