Speaker 1: The National Broadcasting Company presents Radio City Playhouse Attraction thirty
Speaker 1: Ladies and Gentlemen. Here's the director of Radio City Playhouse,
Speaker 1: Harry W.
Speaker 2: Duncan.
Speaker 3: Thank you, Bob Warree.
Speaker 4: Good evening everyone, and welcome to Radio City Playhouse.
Speaker 5: Our story tonight is.
Speaker 4: Different from anything we have ever done before. It is
Speaker 4: titled Luck and was written by Wilbur Daniel Steele, one
Speaker 4: of the greatest short story writers in America today. Originally
Speaker 4: mister Steele wanted to be a painter. We feel that
Speaker 4: the delicate shading of the master artist is evident in
Speaker 4: our play tonight and that it more than lives up
Speaker 4: to the play house tradition of the fine story. Expertly
Speaker 4: told with us for the first time this evening is
Speaker 4: mister John McGovern. We are very happy to welcome this
Speaker 4: extremely talented actor to his first appearance on our show.
Speaker 4: Mister McGovern, who plays the part of Jenison, is assisted
Speaker 4: by Bill Lifton, one of our favorite younger actors. Here
Speaker 4: then is Luck by Wilbur Daniel Steele, starring John McGovern
Speaker 4: and Bill Lifton, Attraction thirty on Radio City Playhouse.
Speaker 2: The scene is a scattered.
Speaker 1: Little community well up in the mountains. On a winter afternoon,
Speaker 1: along one of the remote mountain roads, a man is
Speaker 1: tudging through the customed snow.
Speaker 2: His name is.
Speaker 1: Jemison, people call him Jem. There's something on that trill
Speaker 1: about his appearance, something that makes people WinCE a little
Speaker 1: the first time they see him. He's not a young man,
Speaker 1: and yet he's not old. He's perhaps between thirty five
Speaker 1: and forty. The muscles of his neck seem permanently twisted
Speaker 1: so that his head sits on his body at a
Speaker 1: cruelly distorted angle. His face is blotched and purplish, her
Speaker 1: face deeply etched with lines of pain. He's wearing a tie,
Speaker 1: which is unusual, and.
Speaker 5: His bluefelt has been carefully brushed.
Speaker 1: He's taken great care with his appearance today because he's
Speaker 1: almost positive that if she gives him any encouragement at all,
Speaker 1: he'll propose to head a prole. When he turns in
Speaker 1: a Judge Pole's house, he squares his shoulders, and before
Speaker 1: he knocks at the door, he straightens his tie and
Speaker 1: removes his blue felt path.
Speaker 2: Why, jem, how are you, oh, hetty, Hetty? I wanted
Speaker 2: to say something to you, so will Yard is here?
Speaker 5: Jen we're going for sleigh ride.
Speaker 2: Will is here now. Don't look so disappointed, Jen.
