Speaker 1: Is today's suffering of fate worse than death. He is
Speaker 1: in Hollywood to make a movie, even though he has
Speaker 1: already sunk to such depths as radio. He is Uncle
Speaker 1: good Heart, hero of an afternoon program. The magnificent Montague
Speaker 1: feels that by merely being in Hollywood he has deserted
Speaker 1: the theater and sold his soul to the devil. Not
Speaker 1: even the fact that the picture he is going to
Speaker 1: make is Shakespeare's Macbeth can soothe his guilty and tortured mind.
Speaker 1: It is morning in the little bungalow the Montagu's have
Speaker 1: rented in Beverly Hills. Lily, his wife and one time
Speaker 1: leading lady, and Agnes the Maid are up preparing for
Speaker 1: the great man's first day at the studio.
Speaker 2: Peggoty Easy, Peggotty Easy, the Hollywood residents of Edwin Montague
Speaker 2: and Lily Bowam of East sixty first Street, New York.
Speaker 2: Agnes the Maid on this in what do you want.
Speaker 3: O?
Speaker 2: Empire Studios?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 2: Montague ain't up yet. Huh? You want me to wake
Speaker 2: him up at seven in the morning?
Speaker 5: Are you a kidding?
Speaker 2: I'm too young to die? Does he like California? He's
Speaker 2: nuts about it. He hides under the bed old until
Speaker 2: the sun goes down. Then he gets up, screams, and
Speaker 2: goes back under the bed.
Speaker 5: Mm okay, who is that, Agnes.
Speaker 2: The studio they say, your husband's still for his makeup
Speaker 2: and test. At eight o'clock. They're sending a car for him.
Speaker 5: Oh, I hope he gets there this time. He's been
Speaker 5: stoleing them off for all week. Oh, Edwin is so miserable.
Speaker 5: He certainly is now, Agnes. They talked to me to
Speaker 5: doing the picture, and he feels he's committing treason to
Speaker 5: the New York Stay that Ham, Agnes, Remember he's my husband.
Speaker 2: Okay, mister Ham.
Speaker 5: Please, we must help him through this mental crisis. Edwin's
Speaker 5: never forgiven the movies. He thinks. When they came in
Speaker 5: it was goodbye theater, and here he is making a movie.
Speaker 2: Goodbye movies.
Speaker 5: Edwin will be wonderful in the movies. Why do you
Speaker 5: think the picture companies were so anxious to sign him.
Speaker 2: Because they're Baxter to the wall that they go out
Speaker 2: in mouth of his the only voice left in the
Speaker 2: country that can be heard in the movie theaters above
Speaker 2: the crackling of the popcorn.
Speaker 5: Oh no, Agnes, think what can we do to make
Speaker 5: Edwin happy here in Hollywood?
Speaker 2: I know, let's sneak out tonight and burn the city
Speaker 2: to the ground.
Speaker 5: Agnes, DearS, if I tell you something, will you promise
Speaker 5: on your honor never to breathe the word but to Edwin.
Speaker 5: If he finds out, he'll be furious.
Speaker 2: What is it, Honey?
Speaker 5: I like Hollywood, so do I.
Speaker 2: That's sunshine every afternoon. I plunk the carcass down on
Speaker 2: the patio and let it splash all over me. I
Speaker 2: tell you, if you close your eyes, it's kind to
Speaker 2: believe you're not at Coney Island.
Speaker 5: And imagine having a little garden. Everything grows so first
Speaker 5: out of here.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what's bothering mindagu He's afraid his beard
Speaker 2: will start bearing fruit.
Speaker 5: Stop being skidding.
Speaker 2: And Shelley night. I want to put a smudge pot.
Speaker 5: Under it now, please, Agnes, don't mention his beard. Has
Speaker 5: he had enough trouble out here with everybody mistaking him
Speaker 5: for Gabby Hayes.
Speaker 2: Poor Gabby, Poor Gabby.
Speaker 5: I wonder when Edward.
Speaker 2: Edwards up every morning the same thing, He opens his
Speaker 2: eyes and then he realizes he's in How I would.
Speaker 5: You better get him his breakfast. The studio car will
Speaker 5: be here for him.
Speaker 6: Hurry.
Speaker 5: He's doing his morning vocal exercises already, the voice of
Speaker 5: the turtle.
Speaker 4: Good morning, good morning.
Speaker 2: Good, good morning.
Speaker 5: Gabby.
Speaker 4: Down down, be good.
Speaker 7: I'll go out in the backyard ing up all those
Speaker 7: bones you buryed.

Speaker 5: birds are singing.
Speaker 4: My nerve and my nerves are screaming, Edward.

Speaker 5: are in bloom. A warm breeze is blowing. The trees
Speaker 5: are waving.
Speaker 4: Aye.

Speaker 7: glorious symphony. And he's whispering to me, Hey, stupid, what
Speaker 7: are you doing out here? Get back to New York
Speaker 7: Boy in the Golden West, Agnes, Why don't you go
Speaker 7: down to the railroad station and meet a train head on?
Speaker 5: Edwin? Be fair about California. See how beautiful Hollywood looks,
Speaker 5: nestling at the foot of those purple mountains. All for
Speaker 5: a camera, oh for an.
Speaker 4: Avalanche, Edwin?
Speaker 5: Be reasonable, not try and enjoy yourself, Lily.
Speaker 7: I'm I had been for the first time since I
Speaker 7: came to this land as a nutburger.

Speaker 4: We have so much.
Speaker 6: Spade work to do, mister Fitch.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: I don't want to lead you on, but obviously they
Speaker 7: haven't told you.
Speaker 4: I am Edwin Montague.
Speaker 7: Who Edwin or, as certain critics insisted on labeling me,
Speaker 7: the Magnificent Montague.
Speaker 8: Yes, well that's all very interesting, mister Randolph, but we
Speaker 8: have much too much to get done before I can
Speaker 8: possibly release you as an actor.
Speaker 7: You will release me as an actor, mister Fitch. You
Speaker 7: are a follower of the drama. The name of Edwin
Speaker 7: Montague means nothing to you, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 8: But of course I'm not judge, mister Randolph. I haven't
Speaker 8: been in touch with.
Speaker 6: The little theater movement in years.
Speaker 4: More interested in professional actress.
Speaker 8: Now, well, shall we get on with it?
Speaker 6: Let me hear your voice.

Speaker 8: help you on the rocky road to being an actor.
Speaker 7: You as low and disimble, as special of humanity as
Speaker 7: I never seen outside of a snake pit.
Speaker 4: You are going to make me an actor, mister Randolph.
Speaker 8: It is not my practice to impress students with my
Speaker 8: theatrical background. I find many times that it over osdom.
Speaker 4: But in your case, may I.
Speaker 8: Acquaint you with the fact that, prior to coming to
Speaker 8: the studio I had spent three solid years with a
Speaker 8: Pasadena community playhouse.
Speaker 4: Rarely, and before.
Speaker 8: That I was senior to matter coach at Hollywood High.
Speaker 7: Oh, Master, I will never doubt you again, I should
Speaker 7: think not.
Speaker 8: Now we have to make the test. I have selected
Speaker 8: the scene from Macbeth. You see, it's Macbeth with Lady Macbeth.
Speaker 8: Now where Macbeth had just murdered the king and his
Speaker 8: conscience starts bothering him.
Speaker 4: Now you see in this scene.
Speaker 7: Missinks, I heard of voice cry sleep no more Macbeth.
