Speaker 1: Good evening.
Speaker 2: The makers of the New Rinso bring you the Amos
Speaker 2: and Andy Show with their guest tonight, mister Robert Benchley.
Speaker 2: Just before amoson Andy get going here, I have something
Speaker 2: that comes under the heading of things you never hear
Speaker 2: around the house.
Speaker 3: Hey, Mom, can I help the dishes please? Hammer you
Speaker 3: promise you'd let.
Speaker 1: Me do them?
Speaker 2: Well, you and I know that's just a pipe dream, except,
Speaker 2: of course, around this time of the year for a
Speaker 2: special reason that's eight days off. But usually you can't
Speaker 2: exactly depend on Junior to help. And that's my cue
Speaker 2: to tell you about the new Soaphy Rich Rinso.
Speaker 3: Now hang on.
Speaker 2: I don't promise that the kids will love washing dishes
Speaker 2: with Rinso, but I do promise that you'll find the
Speaker 2: job a whole lot easier. In short, get plenty of
Speaker 2: help from Rinso. You see new Rinso's peppy SuDS, really
Speaker 2: chased grease and crusted food particles like magic. Your dishes
Speaker 2: will sparkle, ponts and pans, gleam silverware, glassware. They'll all
Speaker 2: be clean as a whistle in a jiffy. Did I
Speaker 2: say whistle? Well, I'll bet that's what you'll do when
Speaker 2: you use rinso you'll whistle while you wash. Try rinso
Speaker 2: and see. And now to a miss and Andy and
Speaker 2: their guest Robert Benchley. The Kingfish is apparently confronted with
Speaker 2: a domestic problem because with his friend Andy, he has
Speaker 2: gone to call on that eminent authority on domestic relations
Speaker 2: and the author of that well known book Harmony in Marriage,
Speaker 2: Robert Benchley. The boys are at mister Benchley's office now
Speaker 2: to discuss the Kingfish's problem.
Speaker 3: Well, I sidly be glad to help you if I can. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you see, my friends here, the Kingfish kind of got
Speaker 3: itself in a jam with his wife, and we count
Speaker 3: on you to un jam him.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you see our figure that you was the
Speaker 4: expert on this stuff on account of the books you'd unwritten,
Speaker 4: and maybe you could help me.
Speaker 3: Yes, you understand, of course that marital problems are nothing unusual,
Speaker 3: that they must be dealt with in the abstract.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's the only way to deal with them
Speaker 4: all rage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, you see, marriage is a lot different than
Speaker 3: living life as an individual. In marriage, we have two
Speaker 3: great forces, isn't that right?
Speaker 4: Well, Marks, Miss Benger's just one great fools and one
Speaker 4: guy getting pushed around.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's right about that, mister Benchley. When I goes
Speaker 3: up there to his house, it always remind me of
Speaker 3: a butterfly fighting a p.
Speaker 1: Thirty eight, and I had a butterfly.
Speaker 3: Well, that certainly isn't right. But as I said before,
Speaker 3: to analyze marriage properly, we must look upon it in
Speaker 3: the abstract. I like to picture marriage has a beautiful streams.
Speaker 3: That is, two small brooks, each flowing its own way, calmly, serenely.
Speaker 1: Suddenly they meet, they joined, They.
Speaker 3: Flowed as one through woodland, gaze of happiness, peace and contentment. Kingfish,
Speaker 3: When is we gonna take our vacation.
Speaker 1: Quiet and be quiet? There? Again?
Speaker 4: You think we're abstract here gormous avenger, don't pay no
Speaker 4: tention to him.
Speaker 3: Well, of course you don't understand that I'm just using
Speaker 3: all of this is the figure of speech. Actually, there
Speaker 3: is no woodland glade, there is no valley, there is
Speaker 3: no stream. No, we went a long way without getting
Speaker 3: no place. I see the Perhaps we'd better approach this
Speaker 3: matter in the concrete. Tell me this has your marital
Speaker 3: trouble been of long standing?
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know about her, but I've been standing
Speaker 4: as long as a kN I.
Speaker 1: Can't, Kingfish.
Speaker 3: Why don't you tell me the whole story?
Speaker 4: Yes, I guess that's the best way.
Speaker 3: I'll give me all the details, everything that led up
Speaker 3: to the trouble.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the world, The.
Speaker 4: Whole things started when I decided to go into business.
Speaker 4: I come to see Andy in his office one day.
Speaker 4: Imus was there too, and I said to.
Speaker 1: Him, come in, Kingfish. Yeah, how is the Kingfish?
Speaker 4: Hello there, boys, say Andy? Is you doing anything in
Speaker 4: particular today?
Speaker 1: Oh? No, I ain't. Uh you want to go into business?
Speaker 3: Well, if the proposition is tractive enough, I might reserve
Speaker 3: oh as tractive.
Speaker 1: All right. It's the laundry business, you see.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 4: On account of the shortage of man Paul and Woman
Speaker 4: Paul and their elther kind of power, the laundry is
Speaker 4: having a little trouble keeping up their production. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: guess they is doing the best they can.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: I was talking to that fellow that down the street
Speaker 4: that runs the Bonton launderer.
Speaker 1: And what do you want to do is to farm
Speaker 1: out some of the work.
Speaker 4: In other words, he'd like to turn over some of the.
Speaker 1: Laundry work to us.
Speaker 4: Now we could wash it, nine on it and return
Speaker 4: it to him. We would be what you would call
Speaker 4: a subsidiary.
Speaker 1: Of the main thing.
Speaker 3: Uh somebwhat subsidiary? Yeah well that sounds good alright, but uh,
Speaker 3: we ain't gonna do no washing ironing as well.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, we get Lightning to do it.
Speaker 1: You'll see what we do.
Speaker 4: We make him our own personal subsidiary. Yeah, well, supposed
Speaker 4: Lightning doing do it, or then he can get somebody
Speaker 4: else to do it. That way, the real work and
Speaker 4: be done by a subsidiary of a subsidiary of the subsidiary.
Speaker 1: See, oh this is big business alright.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I know Lightning got a washing machine over there,
Speaker 4: if that's what you're counting on.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we figured on using that already. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, I think I run along, fellow, okays, say, by.
Speaker 1: The way or on the way.
Speaker 4: Home with you, mind stopping in at Lightning's house and
Speaker 4: tell him to wait there and get his washing machine ready.
Speaker 1: We coming over to see him, all right, I'll do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hold on, Yeah, that's gonna be a great business,
Speaker 3: all right, Kingfish, say, is it all right if I
Speaker 3: kind of mentions it to my gal that I gonna
Speaker 3: be a subsidiary?
Speaker 4: Oh no, and you can't say nothing about it yet.
Speaker 4: You see, the first bundle that gives us is gonna
Speaker 4: be sort of a sample bundle to see how we
Speaker 4: do is with it. The laundry is careful about clothes. Yeah,
Speaker 4: they won't make sure that we turns out a good
Speaker 4: job before they.
Speaker 1: Closes the deal, or we might. We gotta make good huh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, listen, this is a pretty safe thing to
Speaker 3: put my money in it. Or this is a safe
Speaker 3: and sound and yeah, well that's good because I'd hate
Speaker 3: to wind up losing my shirt in my own laundry.
Speaker 6: Yeah, turn it off, let it turn it off.
Speaker 3: That machine ain't working right, I answer, Yeah, something's wrong
Speaker 3: with it. It's splashing all over your lightning.
Speaker 1: Now, this job of being a subcity. Very sure you
Speaker 1: get your wet doing it? Uh, tell you what the do?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Scoop a couple of scoops of water out there, lightening,
Speaker 1: and we'll try it again. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Well, by the way, lightning, we don't want you to
Speaker 4: say nothing to nobody about us being in the laundry
Speaker 4: business yet. You see, this is a sample bundle we
Speaker 4: got here, and we gotta see how it come out
Speaker 4: for us.
Speaker 1: Now, you sure you understand now.
Speaker 4: Lightning, I tell me what if you gonna say if
Speaker 4: somebody asked you what youre doing, I'm just gonna play
Speaker 4: them all Right, that's enough water, I'll turn it on.
Speaker 3: Now we'll try it again. I will just put this
Speaker 3: lady shirtwaist in there and see how it'll work.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, put them there. You will.
Speaker 4: Get the rip to pieces. Turn it off, like pull
Speaker 4: the switch, stop the thing. Stop the thing, light and quick.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I look at that, Lightning.
Speaker 1: You is responsible. Get the shirtwaist out there, Lightning.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: Here the little piece of sleeve I got here?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 1: Did you say piece?
Speaker 3: That's all I want to know in case anybody is
Speaker 3: looking for subsidiary Brown telling me done?
Speaker 1: Left town. So you see, mos Benzer.
Speaker 4: When we finally got all the pieces of that shirt
Speaker 4: wars out of the machine, it looked like a big.
Speaker 1: Jigsaw pu his sure did well.
Speaker 3: Now, look, gentlemen, I can see very well why you
Speaker 3: might be worried about.
Speaker 1: The shirt waist.
Speaker 3: In fact, you got me worried about it myself. And
Speaker 3: I hardly know you, but after all, you came to
Speaker 3: me on the problem of domestic felicity, which is my line.
Speaker 3: Now I have a colleague down the street. As a
Speaker 3: matter of fact, he's right here in the same building
Speaker 3: on the ninth floor, room nine oh seven, and he
Speaker 3: has made a study of shirt waists problem.
Speaker 4: Well, well, you ain't hearing us out yet, doing, mister.
Speaker 1: Benzon, I'm sure I haven't.
Speaker 3: But just what exactly has all this to do with
Speaker 3: your marital problem?
Speaker 4: Or we get into that. You see, we didn't want
Speaker 4: the laundry to know that we've done.
Speaker 1: Such a bad job. So what did you do?
Speaker 4: Well, we pieced the pieces of the shirt waist together
Speaker 4: the best we could so we could tell what size
Speaker 4: it was, and then we went down to the latest
Speaker 4: shirtways department at the Globe Department store.
Speaker 1: To get another one.
Speaker 3: We want something in a nice shirtwais, miss, Well, we
Speaker 3: had a very pretty one. Did you have anything particular
Speaker 3: in mind?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we see it.
Speaker 4: One that's got Well, it is a lot like the
Speaker 4: one we wants to get that we could know.
Speaker 3: Well, what is it like? Well, as I remember that
Speaker 3: there was some junk on the collar, and then there
Speaker 3: was some stuff down the front, and then there was
Speaker 3: some more junk on the cuffs, and then there was
Speaker 3: some stuff on the sleeves.
Speaker 1: Is you got one like that. Well, tell me, was
Speaker 1: it ruffled down the front? Well, it was when we
Speaker 1: got through with it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, show your blouse here. Yeah, this is our most
Speaker 7: popular model.

Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd look exactly like it. Yeah, we'll take one
Speaker 3: of them. Miss, all right, what size?
Speaker 4: Well, no, that's where we got a snag. We don't
Speaker 4: know exactly what the size is.
Speaker 2: Well is she large or small?
Speaker 4: Well, it's nearly as we can figure it out. She
Speaker 4: and the horse class. On the other hands, she exactly
Speaker 4: nose Shetland ponies.
Speaker 7: Well, from what you say, I would judge that she
Speaker 7: would take about a thirty two.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, wait a minute, that can be right.
Speaker 3: Look how big eye is and all I take is
Speaker 3: a sixteenth. Well, the size has been different for women.

Speaker 3: Oh, a nuisance to wash, and the cooking.
Speaker 2: Fats too dark or rancid for further use.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: Well, save those fats in a tin container, and when
Speaker 2: you have a canful, take it to your meat dealer
Speaker 2: or butcher. He'll pay you four cents for each pound
Speaker 2: and give you two meat points.
Speaker 1: Besides, he's authorized to do this by the government.
Speaker 7: Say that's swell, But just what do they do with
Speaker 7: those used fats and greases anyway.
Speaker 2: Lady, They turn them into ammunition and explosives quick And
Speaker 2: those precious fats help to make those miracles sulfur drugs
Speaker 2: that have saved thousands of lives in this war.
Speaker 1: The humble task of saving.
Speaker 2: Them is one of the most important jobs you can do,
Speaker 2: and the need for this help you can give is
Speaker 2: so urgent that the used fats you turn in today

Speaker 3: Well, she certainly should have given you an opportunity to
Speaker 3: explain everything.
Speaker 1: Well, she is like that, she flies off the handle.
Speaker 3: Will and dealing with a marital problem such as this,
Speaker 3: the important thing is to know the type of woman
Speaker 3: you're dealing with. Yeah, as you probably know, there are
Speaker 3: several different types of women who went her into matrimony.
Speaker 3: For instance, there's the who wants to be an old maid.
Speaker 3: Or he may not be so hot, but I just
Speaker 3: want to be too choosy. Look what mother wound up
Speaker 3: with types. This is not really a marriage, but they're
Speaker 3: bringing together of two rational books.
Speaker 1: Yeah, see what you mean.
Speaker 3: And of course there's the jealous type, popularly known as
Speaker 3: the whatter. She got that I haven't got and where,
Speaker 3: and I get ahold of it after she's through with it.

Speaker 3: ubsidiary in neither key doing all the work yourself. And
Speaker 3: did this help to get you back in the good
Speaker 3: graces of your wife?
Speaker 4: It didn't make no imprint on at all. She was
Speaker 4: still convinced that there was another woman in the picture.
Speaker 3: And I, well, Kingfish, what has happened only runs through
Speaker 3: the form the course of married life, having as many
Speaker 3: ups and downs as you can see by this graft
Speaker 3: that I have here on the wall. Let's come over
Speaker 3: here and let's examine this chart. Now, this line indicated
Speaker 3: here in ink represents married life. No, it starts off
Speaker 3: here and reaches a remarkable peak within the first two weeks.
Speaker 3: This is the period during which the young husband and
Speaker 3: wife are eating in restaurants. The sharp decline which follows
Speaker 3: this comes with the beginning of home cooking and the cycle.
Speaker 1: Of the faulty gas range.
Speaker 3: At least the gas range takes the blame, as it
Speaker 3: can't talk back. Yes, this, however, is only a temporary slump,
Speaker 3: and we go along quite smoothly for some time, with
Speaker 3: only in a.
Speaker 1: Cave little drops here at what is.
Speaker 3: Known in economic circles as the session over the fur coat,
Speaker 3: or here where business conditions make it necessary for the
Speaker 3: husband to work late at the office all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: But now in the course of this line we notice
Speaker 3: a precipitous drop which maintains this low level for a
Speaker 3: short time, looks like about two weeks here, and the
Speaker 3: line rises again spectacularly. The husband's mother has gone home.
Speaker 3: Now here, let me see, I don't don't quite understand
Speaker 3: this complete break in the line. Either the husband and
Speaker 3: wife have separated, or my secretary forgot to fill my
Speaker 3: fountain pen, which well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is all interesting stuff. Miss Avenger but I
Speaker 4: still don't.
Speaker 1: See how it applies to my kids.
Speaker 3: Well, perhaps i'd better hear the rest of your story.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, like I said before, getting a stead of job,
Speaker 4: didn't cutting.
Speaker 1: A wife with my wife? And well, of course I don't.
Speaker 4: Found out through the grapevine that she was getting ready
Speaker 4: to leave town and go back to her relatives in Georgia.
Speaker 1: So I went up to see her. The beggar once more,
Speaker 1: not to leave. Please don't go away.
Speaker 8: I love you, honey, yet out of my way.
Speaker 7: I'm packing here and I'm leaving on the afternoon train.
Speaker 4: Oh but honey, look here, I've gotten me a regular job.
Speaker 1: And believe me that I ain't no other woman in
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 7: You never proved that to me from now.
Speaker 1: Uh, you better answer that door, hunty, you're.
Speaker 7: Answered, I don't live here no more.
Speaker 3: I have a package for oh missus Stevens.
Speaker 5: Here's your bundle.
Speaker 7: Oh thanks, I was waiting for that.
Speaker 3: I'm packing down and the boss told me to tell
Speaker 3: you that we were sure to help, and we had
Speaker 3: some of the stuff done on the outside. The follows
Speaker 3: that did your stuff ripple shad waste. But they went
Speaker 3: over and bought this new one at the gloves depoppment
Speaker 3: store for you.
Speaker 1: You mean, wait a minue, Wait a minue. Let me
Speaker 1: look at that shirt wears. Yeah, let me see that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, here's the one that I bought.
Speaker 1: Honey, that said, well, miss Stevens, is.
Speaker 7: The satisfactory, very satisfact. Okay, George, Yes, honey, I can't
Speaker 7: tell you how bad I feel for not believing it.
Speaker 4: Oh, that's all right, Let's forget the whole thing and
Speaker 4: never talk about it again.
Speaker 7: Oh, Jorge, this makes married life perfect. We're back together
Speaker 7: again and you've got a steady job and everything is wonderful.
Speaker 8: What happened after that?
Speaker 3: Kingfish? Well ahead, Dylan, Uh, that's all. Uh, we us
Speaker 3: back together again. Well are you fighting?
Speaker 1: Oh no, sir.
Speaker 3: Well, if you're back together again and you're not fighting,
Speaker 3: why in the world do you come to a man
Speaker 3: like me for advice?
Speaker 4: Well, that job that I took when I tried to quit,
Speaker 4: the man said, no, I was cruised to it. Now,
Speaker 4: what I want to know from you is how can
Speaker 4: I unfreeze myself from the job.
Speaker 2: When you see a fellow walking down the street whistling cheerfully,
Speaker 2: you can just bet on it. He's feeling pretty good
Speaker 2: and when you hear a woman whistling, especially if she
Speaker 2: whistles while she's washing clothes, you can make the same
Speaker 2: bet she's feeling pretty good. And you can also bet
Speaker 2: that she's using our new soapy rich Rinso. That's why
Speaker 2: she feels so swell. She can see herself that new
Speaker 2: Rinso gets out more dirt without making.
Speaker 1: Her work so hard.
Speaker 2: And chances are here's the little tune she's either whistling
Speaker 2: or singing.
Speaker 3: Rinso White, Rinzo White, Happy, little washy song. Rinzo.
