Now before Huckleberry Finn Ernest Chappele has 24 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:46.920 something to say about entertainment and other sort of chapel, sir, thank. 25 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:48.640 You arson, wells, ladies and gentlemen. 26 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.560 When you entertain at dinner, your first concern is the 27 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:54.120 pleasure of your guests. You want to be sure that 28 00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:57.879 they enjoy themselves and enjoy the food you serve.

They've 41 00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.520 seen how it's brought fairly glistens with chicken richness, and 42 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:33.319 they've relished the. 43 00:02:33.280 --> 00:02:35.639 Fluffy rice and the pieces of tender chicken meat in. 44 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.000 It in every plateful. They've told others. 45 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.120 How much they like Campbell's chicken soup, and so its popularity. 46 00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.479 Has grown and continues to grow. 47 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.960 Have you tried this deep flavored, home like chicken soup 48 00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:47.520 of Cambell's. 49 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.240 Why not enjoy it tomorrow? 50 00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.240 I promise you, just as sure as you like chicken, 51 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.479 you like Campbell's chicken soup. And now orson well starts 52 00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:05.479 our Campbell Playhouse presentation talk about tim starting Jackie Cooper. 53 00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.199 Last week we said that this week we broadcast Mark 54 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.960 Twain's Sockleberry Finn. Well, you're expecting then a dramatization could 55 00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:29.639 clear concise ladies and gentlemen, you will hear no such thing. 56 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.240 We're sorry, but we think Carckoberry Finn is too good 57 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.280 a book to be dramatized, exactly speaking, and so we won't. 58 00:03:36.800 --> 00:03:39.199 We won't even try a nicely parted version of the story. 59 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.639 We couldn't do it anyway. We don't even have to. 60 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:43.479 For one thing, the story hasn't got what you'd call 61 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.479 a nice plot. The principal part of it, of course, 62 00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.879 relates to the deathless saga of a voyage down the 63 00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.000 Mississippi by the most celebrated wrath the world has ever known. 64 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.080 We're going to tell most of that story, and as 65 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:56.919 many of the others as we can, and as nearly 66 00:03:56.960 --> 00:04:00.840 as possible. In Mark Twain's own words, you'll forgive me, please, 67 00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.120 but I must inject what may seem at first to 68 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:06.520 be the personal note. Ladies and gentlemen. It would appear 69 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:08.840 that during the course of this past week there have 70 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:13.919 been circulated rumors, rumors, evil, unfounded and unfair, nasty, vile 71 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.199 rumors whose sources I cannot place, and whose origins I 72 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:20.120 am at a loss to discover. It has been said 73 00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:23.879 that I will perform the role of Huckleberry Finn. You'll 74 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:25.720 all be relieved. I am sure to hear from my 75 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.639 own lips that this is not the case. Must be said, however, 76 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.920 in all candor, that I restrain myself none too easily 77 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:36.360 to be Huckleberry Finn, even for an hour. This was 78 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.639 not likely to be put to one side. However, I'm 79 00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:41.759 as happy as possible and as proud as I really 80 00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:43.759 ought to be to welcome now to the Campbell Playoffs, 81 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.199 that gifted and very young performer who will be Huckleberry 82 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.040 Finn and who is actually Jackie Cooper. 83 00:04:57.560 --> 00:04:59.680 I'm mighty proud to meet you, mister Wells. 84 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:02.639 Goberry Finn and a friend of Mark Twain's as always 85 00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:03.199 welcome here. 86 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.879 Mister Twain did write proud by me in his story, 87 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:06.279 didn't he? 88 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.519 Right, Proud is a bit of an understatement, hug Well, 89 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.240 when I think at the very beginning of the book, 90 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.560 you don't know about me without you've read a book 91 00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:16.879 by the name of the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. 92 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.600 That I thought you wasn't gonna play Huckleberry Finn. 93 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:24.839 Mister Wells, Oh, pardon me, all right, huck. 94 00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.920 You don't know about me without you have read a 95 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:28.680 book by. 96 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.560 The name of the Adventures of Tom Sawyer. But that 97 00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:32.399 ain't no matter. 98 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.560 That book was. That book was made by mister Mark Twain, 99 00:05:35.639 --> 00:05:36.800 and he told the truth madely. 100 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.279 There were some stretches in it, But then I never 101 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.399 seen anybody but lied one time or another. 102 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.279 Without it was Aunt Polly or the witty Douglas. 103 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.439 Anyways, that book winds up by Tom and me finding 104 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:49.120 the money that the robbers hid in the cave, and 105 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:52.160 it made us rich. And the widow Douglas, she took 106 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.240 me for a son and allowed she would civilize me. 107 00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.319 It was rough at first, going to school every day 108 00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:00.079 and living in the house all the time, consider and 109 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.160 her dismal regular and decent. The widow wasn't all our ways, 110 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.759 but mostly things was going pretty smooth. That is till 111 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.399 the night I killed a spider. I was a setting 112 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:10.360 in my room. 113 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.519 And I have just a paragraph or two, Huck, no 114 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:14.040 more than. 115 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:19.920 A paragraph or two, Thank you well. Huck was sitting 116 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.399 in his room, tired and lonesome, trying to think of 117 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:25.120 something cheerful, but it was no use. He felt so 118 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.920 lonesome he most wished he was dead. The stars were shining, 119 00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.720 the leaves rustled in the woods, ever so wonderful. And 120 00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:34.480 there was an hole away off of Hoohoo, and about 121 00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:37.879 somebody that was dead, a dog crying about somebody that 122 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.040 was gonna die, and the wind was trying to whisper 123 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.399 something to him the way out in the woods. He 124 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:44.399 heard that kind of a sound of the ghost makes 125 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.519 wants to tell something that's on his mind. The candle 126 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:49.680 was almost burned away. 127 00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.399 That's more than a paragraph or two, mister Wells. All right, 128 00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:59.800 that's right, mister Wells. When this year spider went calling 129 00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.480 up my shoulder, I flipped it off and lifted the candle, 130 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.800 and before I could budget, it was all shriveled up. 131 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.639 I didn't need Miss Watson's slave Jim to tell me 132 00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.600 that that was an awful bad sign and would fetch 133 00:07:09.639 --> 00:07:12.399 me some bad luck.
