Key Discussion Points & Plot Progression

1. Opening Scenes & Rescue on the Maine Coast

(00:32 – 04:48)

• The play opens amidst a violent Maine storm as a ship called the Huntress goes down. Captain January finds a lifeboat containing a small, smiling baby clutched in her mother's deceased arms.
• Choosing to care for the orphan himself, January remarks that it feels like “the Lord might have asked me to take care of her for a while.”
  • Quote:
    “It's like she was delivered into my hands… like the Lord might have asked me to take care of her for a while.”
    — Captain January (03:30)

2. Life at the Lighthouse: Star’s Upbringing

(04:48 – 13:01)

• Years pass; Star grows up with a blend of humor, affection, and quirky discipline from Captain January.
• Their close bond is evident as Star celebrates her birthday and receives a locket that once belonged to her birth mother.
  • Quote:
    “What kind of a name is there for a baby girl washed up on the beach when the stars are just coming out? That’s it—Star.”
    — Captain January (04:49)
• The two demonstrate a natural, teasing rapport and genuine care for each other, especially in Star’s birthday scenes.

3. Trouble with Authorities: School and Threat of Separation

(13:01 – 18:09)

• Mrs. Morgan, the new schoolteacher, is alarmed Star isn’t in school and questions Captain January’s parenting.
  • Quote:
    “From what I observe, this child is being brought up entirely without control. She's rude, disrespectful... It's within the power of the authorities to send her to an institution.”
    — Mrs. Morgan (16:25)
• January staunchly defends Star’s education, claiming he’s taught her “from the two best books there is: the Bible and Bowditch (the navigator’s manual).”
• Mrs. Morgan insists Star must take an advanced test, raising the threat of separating Star from January.

4. Community Life and Star’s Independence

(18:09 – 22:16)

• Star shows her independence, running errands for the lighthouse and playfully haggling with local shopkeeper Mr. Carver.
• A tourist inquires about Star’s identity, revealing she hasn't been to school. The looming school examination becomes a key source of tension.

5. Star’s Examination & Lighthouse Community

(26:20 – 37:25)

• The day of Star’s test approaches. January tries, with comic difficulty, to help her prepare (“Why didn't I go to school instead of running off to sea?” [26:20]).
• Captain Nazro, January’s old friend, tries to sneak her the test questions, but it turns out to be the wrong (high school) exam.
• Star’s practical, sea-bred knowledge comes through during the exam itself, as she corrects the blackboard drawing:
  • Quote:
    “They're not schooners, Mrs. Morgan… a schooner carries its mizzenmast amidship. These are ketches!”
    — Star (33:33)
• After a comically literal retelling of Romeo and Juliet, Star is deemed clever and advanced—earning her a jump to the eighth grade.

6. Star’s Family Truth Revealed and Painful Separation

(38:59 – 46:10)

• A pair named the Eastons arrive in town, seeking information about a lost family member. They soon realize from the locket and story that Star is their niece.
  • Quote:
    “She’s my niece, Captain January. She's my sister's child.”
    — Mrs. Easton (39:51)
• A heart-wrenching confrontation ensues:
  • Quote:
    “If you ever take her out of the sea, did you swear to the Lord to help save her? Did you do as should be done by her? Have you worked and sweated for her and lived in fear that some day she might be taken away from you, huh?”
    — Captain January (40:22)
• Forced by law and for Star’s “own good,” Captain January must let her go. In an effort to ease the pain, he pretends he wants her to leave, breaking both their hearts.

7. Aftermath & Emotional Consequences

(46:10 – 54:45)

• Captain January is left alone, with his beloved lighthouse soon to be automated—stripping him of his life’s work and Star’s companionship.
• Star is placed with the Eastons in Boston, but remains emotionally attached to January, despite new comforts.
  • Quote:
    “You've been wonderful to me, Aunt Laura… but that’s not enough, is it?”
    — Star (55:26)
• Star continues writing to Captain January; his recovery from illness paves the way for a hopeful reunion.

8. Reunion and Hopeful Future

(56:36 – 58:06)

• The episode culminates with Star's joyful reunion with Captain January, who arrives commanding a new boat, signaling the endurance of their bond and the promise of ongoing connection.
  • Quote:
    “Would I forget the north and the south? Where would I? I'm captain of this craft, that's what I'm doing. And I'm the first mate.”
    — Captain January (57:18)

Transcript

[NHTSA Public Service Announcer]

Tonight in your city, someone is walking their dog. Someone is crossing the street to their car. Someone's kid is riding a bike home. And they're counting on you to drive the speed limit. Speeding accounts for nearly 30% of traffic fatalities. And most of those crashes don't happen on the interstate. They happen on the streets where people live. Slow down. It's an act of care for the people around you. So remember, speeding catches up with you. Know the road and respect its limits. Presented by nhtsa. Now back to your podcast.

[Captain January]

We proudly present Hollywood. The Radio Theater brings you Margaret O' Brien and Lionel Barrymore in Captain January. Ladies and gentlemen, gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Eight year old Margaret o'. Brien. Margaret has hurried home to co star with one of the screen's most beloved actors, Lionel Barrymore. They appear in Captain January from 20th Century Fox. The story of a bluff warm hearted lighthouse keeper to whom the sea delivers a devoted partner for his lonely life. A little girl named Star. We're off to Cape Tempest on the lonely coast of Maine and the first act of our play featuring two metro golden mare favorites. Margaret o' Brien as star and Lionel Barrymore as Captain January. In from the northeast roars a biting winter gale lashing the rocky coast of Maine, whipping the dull green Atlantic into a white frenzy of foam. Somewhere in a mad mountainous sea, a sailing vessel rolls and pitches or decks awash beneath the heavy wa ways. In a last desperate ple for mercy, she lifts her sp to the black sky. And then with a shudder, the gallant craft slips downward to her grave. Ship right. Ship right. The hunters of Cape tempers cal down with all hands. He'll let me through here. Where's the minister? Where's the minister? Here, Bob. What do you do, Mr. Win? Captain January wants you. He found a small boat just off Great Rock. He dragged it up on the boat from the Huntress? Yes, sir. And there was someone in it. I'll take you there. Never mind. I'll find you myself. Captain January. Over here. Take care of them rocks.

[Orderly Meds Advertiser]

Sir.

[Captain January]

Bob Evans. Bob Evans said you wanted me. I did, sir, but it's too late. He's gone, chief. Who? A passenger off the Huntress in the drift. Half a day in an open boat. Come over this way, sir. There she is. Mr. Winfrey. This woman has been dead for hours. Dead? Died saving the little one. Her arms around her, keeping the little one. Look here, sir. Under the tarpaulin. Where? It's a baby. Smiling like a little angel. That's the Way she was when I took her from her mother's arms. Captain, we'll have to bring this child up to the village at once. Oh, please. Now, if it's all the same to you, I'll just bring her along to my place. Your place? The lighthouse? Why not, sir? I'm cozy up there and you see. Well, sir, it's like she was delivered into my hands. Like the Lord might have asked me to take care of her for a while. You're a good man, Captain. All right. Take her along to the lighthouse. If anyone inquires after her, I'll let you know. Thank you, sir. Up you go, child. Wait. Did you find anything that might give us a clue as to who this child is? No, sir. No. Only this locket. It was held tight in the woman's hand. She'll have to have a name, though, won't she? What kind of a name is there for a baby girl washed up on the beach when the star's just coming out? When?

[Star January]

Hi.

[Captain January]

That's it, Star. That's your name, child. We're going to call you Star. Start again at 6:30.

[Star January]

Here I am, Cap. Well, what would you like for breakfast?

[Captain January]

What'll I have for breakfast? 6:30. Almost time for lunch.

[Star January]

Won't you sit down?

[Captain January]

No breakfast in half a day. Gone.

[Star January]

Oh, you're not really angry. When I was a child, you could fool me. But not anymore. I know when you're just pretending.

[Captain January]

Ain't you forgetting something?

[Star January]

I don't think so. So let me see. I made my bed, I brush my teeth. Oh, it's my birthday.

[Captain January]

Yes, ma'. Am. And I suppose you're just waiting for me to hand over a present.

[Star January]

Cat present. Where is it? Oh, please let me see it.

[Captain January]

No breakfast yet, and she wants her present beside. I didn't say I had one, you know. I only said that.

[Star January]

Oh, you always have a presentation, President. You never once forgot.

[Captain January]

Oh, I always give you a spank, too. One for every year when we have that.

[Star January]

Not now. After breakfast. I feel tougher after breakfast.

[Captain January]

And don't go slipping any shingles in the seat of your britches like you did the last time. That spanking hurt me more than it did you.

[Star January]

Honest. I didn't know that. There was a nail in it.

[Captain January]

Maybe.

[Star January]

Been a long time, hasn't it, Cap?

[Captain January]

Long time.

[Star January]

I mean, since you and me shipped together.

[Captain January]

Eight years today. Stop. That's why you're having your birthday.

[Star January]

But I must be more than 8 years old.

[Captain January]

You may be 10 or so. I don't know exactly for all we

[Star January]

know, maybe I'm 30, huh?

[Captain January]

Maybe. But I. I think it's highly improbable.

[Star January]

Cap, what did I look like when you fished me out of the water?

[Captain January]

I had to ring you out and hang you up to dry.

[Star January]

Tell me all about the storm again.

[Captain January]

Yeah, you heard about that storm every birthday.

[Star January]

But it gets to be a bigger storm every time you tell it. How many miles did you swim, towing the lifeboat with me? And your teeth?

[Captain January]

I had the tow rope in my teeth. Not you.

[Star January]

The last time you told me, it was me.

[Captain January]

Well, you. You. You're a year older now, Star. You ever get lonely here?

[Star January]

Lonely?

[Captain January]

Well, it ain't much of a life living in a lighthouse, no company except me.

[Star January]

Who else would I want?

[Captain January]

Well, I was thinking maybe. Maybe this ain't the right kind of life for a youngster. Maybe. Maybe you ought to go away somewhere else. Would you like to, sir?

[Star January]

No, I wouldn't. But if you keep saying that, I will go away. And I'll never come back either. Oh, don't you know by now I'm never going to lose fear?

[Captain January]

Well, I just like to make sure once in a while I'm doing right, that you really want to stay, that's all.

[Star January]

Wait, do I do. And that's the end of it.

[Captain January]

All right, honey. All right, all right. Well, here now. I'll let you have your birthday present.

[Star January]

Oh, Cap. What is it?

[Captain January]

Yeah, you like it?

[Star January]

Why, it's a locket. Oh, it's beautiful. Where did you get.

[Captain January]

Was in your mother's hand the night I found you. There's a picture inside of it. Gap. I'll open it.

[Star January]

Is that my mother?

[Captain January]

Reckon it is. Your mother and you. It must have been taken soon after you was born.

[Star January]

She was. She was very beautiful, wasn't she?

[Captain January]

And you're a lot like her. I've saved it all these years till I thought you was big enough to know what it was.

[Star January]

I'm gonna keep this forever and ever. Thanks, Cat. My mother was very beautiful. And catches. I look a lot like her. That's funny, isn't it, Emma Jean? I mean, me being beautiful. But you never can tell, can you, Emma Jean? I may grow up to be beautiful after all. I bet you weren't so much better when you were my age. But you're beautiful now, Imogene, And I love you very much. Well, what do you say? That's better.

[Captain January]

Stop. You finish that million years in a minute.

[Star January]

Hurry up, Imogene.

[Captain January]

If you hurry, I'll let you go in the village.

[Star January]

The Pinhead.

[Captain January]

Yeah, there's a few things we need from the store. Would you like to go?

[Star January]

Sure I would. Emma Jane, will you please cooperate a little? I've got a mix of feelings.

[Captain January]

Morning, sir.

[Star January]

Morning, Captain Jerry.

[Captain January]

Ah, hello, Captain Nazare. Happy birthday.

[Star January]

Thanks. Are you coming over to the lighthouse tonight, Captain Nazaree?

[Captain January]

Well, January ain't invited me yet.

[Star January]

Lyman's inviting you right now. Cap and I are having this prize party all by ourselves.

[Captain January]

Well, you better warn him I'm coming. At times, I get the idea that January ain't exactly partial to me.

[Star January]

Oh, don't worry. I'll tell him to behave. Goodbye, Captain Nasril. See you tonight.

[Star January]

Good morning, Mr. Cottage.

[Captain January]

Morning, Star. What can I do for you?

[Star January]

We need another case of brass polish. Better send it over right away. And don't forget what we get off for being government.

[Captain January]

It'll be there tomorrow, Star.

[Star January]

Tomorrow. We need it today.

[Captain January]

Well, I'll try, but there's a lot of summer folks up here already keeping me hopping. I'll do the best I can.

[Star January]

All right. Oh, how much are these lollipops three cents apiece. Three? What about the government discount?

[Captain January]

Oh, sorry. Two cents for you, Star.

[Star January]

Thanks. So long, Mr. Carp.

[Captain January]

Go along.

[Star January]

Oh, Mr. Car.

[Captain January]

Oh, yes, Mrs. Morgan.

[Star January]

Who was the little girl?

[Captain January]

A star. Why, she's Captain January's girl. He's the lighthouse keeper.

[Star January]

I wonder why I haven't seen her in school.

[Captain January]

Well, I guess the teacher was here before. Wasn't very strict about things like that.

[Star January]

That's why she isn't here now. I think I'll have a talk with that child. And then she tried to make me go to school, and I said I wouldn't. I was very polite, Cap, honest. But I said I had to go home.

[Captain January]

Good for you. Go on. What happened then?

[Star January]

Well, the next thing you know, she had me by the earth, dragging me along the street.

[Captain January]

Oh, she did what you do?

[Star January]

Well, one thing led to another thing, and before you know it, she sat

[Captain January]

down on a chair.

[Star January]

No, on the street.

[Captain January]

Well, how'd that happen?

[Star January]

I don't know. I can't figure it out.

[Captain January]

She tripped, huh? What'd she say then?

[Star January]

I didn't wait to hear. I just ran.

[Captain January]

It's a good idea. Well, forget about it.

[Star January]

She can't do anything mean to us, can she?

[Captain January]

Ah, of course not. Remember, I work for the government. I am the government here.

[Star January]

Yes, but I think she's government too.

[Captain January]

Don't worry about it. This is your birthday. Oh, yeah? Open up. Find out.

[Star January]

Oh, it's Captain Nasro.

[Captain January]

Nasro.

[Star January]

Come in, Captain.

[Captain January]

They blind my eyes. Can't they even give a birthday party without you barging in? Oh, pipe down, you old catawampus. Here, honey, here's your present.

[Star January]

Thank you. This happened as a present.

[Captain January]

It ain't much, honey. I bet it ain't.

[Star January]

It's a doll.

[Captain January]

A g. Well, well, well, well, well, well, what of it?

[Star January]

Oh, it's beautiful, Captain Nasril. Thank you very much. Cap, aren't you going to invite Captain Nasal to our surprise party?

[Captain January]

Well, I wasn't counting on it. I sent you here. Tear down Nasril.

[Star January]

Good. I'll pick the place for it, whether

[Captain January]

you was counting on it or not. I'm gonna stay for a while. Oh, you are, are you? Yes, I are. Time I was doing a little inspecting around this here lighthouse. Must be daft in Washington appointing you an inspector for. You don't know the difference between a telescope and a tar barrel. The way you handle them, I guess there ain't any. Look at that brass work. That brass was clean till you rubbed your dirty glove on it. Why, you Foul bound old derelict. If you wasn't my host, I'd fire you right now. If you wasn't my guest, I'd quit.

[Star January]

Come get it, satyr. You know, it's nice to see you two getting on for a change. Here, Captain Nazo, you sit here.

[Captain January]

Thank you, sir. Hey, what's that thing there? What do you think it is?

[Star January]

It's a cake.

[Captain January]

Right pretty.

[Star January]

Cat made it all himself.

[Captain January]

No. He did. I guess I'll just eat the candles. Listen here, you're no good. Dick.

[Star January]

Spider Cap, stop it. Now you sit right down and behave. This town. Come in, the door's open. Good evening. My goodness, is the school teacher. Which one of you is Captain January, please?

[Captain January]

I'm Captain January.

[Star January]

Well, I'm Mrs. Morgan, the new teacher.

[Captain January]

Oh, sit down, ma'. Am.

[Star January]

Captain January, why isn't this child in school?

[Captain January]

Well, I was aiming to send her next year.

[Star January]

We have a compulsory education law and this child is old enough. How does she know how old enough I am? We don't even know ourselves. Don't be impudent. I'm not being impudent. From what I observe, this child is being brought up entirely without control. She's rude, disrespectful.

[Captain January]

Ah, now, hold on, hold on.

[Star January]

What's more, this child is adopted. It's well within the power of the authorities to send her to an institution if you fail to raise her properly.

[Captain January]

Taken from me. Just a minute, Mrs. Morgan. You're talking through your clothes when you say Star's been brought up ignorant. She reads writing and she writes down reading better than any 8 year old on this coast. What do you mean 8 year old? Ain't a 10, 11 year old from here, Newfoundland, that knows as much as Star. No. Now any 12 year old, far as that goes, or 13 or 14, say,

[Star January]

maybe I am 30.

[Captain January]

I've been learning her from the best two books there is. The Bible and Bowditch.

[Star January]

And just what is Bowditch, please? You've never heard of Bowditch? Why, that's one of the greatest books ever written. American Practical Navigation by Nathaniel Bowditch. Fine reading for a girl of her age.

[Captain January]

Any objections in the Bible?

[Star January]

Let me tell you.

[Captain January]

And let me tell you, ma'. Am, There ain't better reading in the world than the Bible and Bowditch. They both learn it to steer a straight course.

[Star January]

I didn't come here to discuss rigging matter. Please have a report to the schoolhouse next Tuesday. And since you seem to think she has the intelligence of a child of 10, we'll call her 10 and give her the test for that age. Wait, wait. Maybe I'm only seven. Ish. So?

[Captain January]

Well, I'll stand by ten Tuesday morning, please.

[Star January]

Good night, Cap. What was she talking about? An institution?

[Captain January]

You worry head about that. N. I'd like to speak to you for a minute.

[Star January]

What's a party?

[Captain January]

Hey, it's something about the light. Come on up. The light. NRO. Well, you certainly are a lover, January. What was the idea of insisting that Star was as smart as a girl of 10? Well, she is interested, sure, but why make it tough for yourself? I reckon I did put my foot into it. After all, Star doesn't even belong to you, you know. Doesn't belong to me? That's what I said. You've got no legal right to her. You've never even adopted her. She's more than adopted. She's part of me. That's all right, but that ain't the law. You fished her out of the water. You should have tried to find if she had any folks. I did try. Yes, you did. Well, I could cried for a while. I couldn't keep trying forever, could I? Anyway, she has no folks. You're all dead. Are they? How do you know? Well, if they never come for her, no one's even asked for her. And you're just hoping they never will. What business is that of yours? She's mine. Nobody's ever going to take her from me. Lobsters. Eat your lobsters. Lobster here. Lobsters right from the water.

[Star January]

Lobsters fresh from the water. Fifteen sand.

[Captain January]

Hello.

[Star January]

Well, lobsters, baby. Lobsters fresh from the water. What you got there, lobsters? No, they're shrimp, but don't tell anybody. Lobsters.

[Captain January]

You can't fool me.

[Star January]

They're lobsters. All right. They're lobsters. Now go away, will you? Get your lobsters. And you live in this place. Lobsters fresh from the water. I said, do you live in this place? Get your lobsters. Just bean sand. I come from New York. Oh, tourists. Lobsters fresh from the water. Do these things bite? Certainly they bite. I don't believe it. Look, little boy. Go away, will you? Oh, I want to see if they bite. Well, if you have to, you have to. Go ahead. Ow. Ow. See? They buy lobsters fresh from the water. How about a Nice lobster, lady? 15 cents. No, thank you. Best you ever tasted. Just take one home and try. I'm sorry, but I'm living at the hotel. You see, I'm a tourist too. Oh, I really didn't mean that. He was just getting fresh. I Know, I was standing over there watching you. I wonder. I wonder if you'd tell me something. Sure. What? Where you got that locket you're wearing? Oh, that cat gave it to me. He's my father. Captain January. Your father?

[Captain January]

I see. Hello. Where have you been?

[Star January]

Oh, come here, Bruce. Have you some change? I want to buy some lobsters.

[Captain January]

Lobsters? What for?

[Star January]

Oh, it's all right, lady. I don't want you to buy them if you can't use them.

[Captain January]

Oh, really?

[Star January]

No, sinner. I wasn't born here, if that's what you mean. You weren't? Where were you born? I don't know. That sounds funny, doesn't it? But you said your father. Oh, Cap. Oh, he's not really my father. You see, he found me. And what are you looking at me that way for? Go on, dear. What were you saying? I wasn't saying anything. I have to go home now. I'm late. Excuse me.

[Captain January]

Go away. Your lobsters.

[Star January]

Oh, they'll be all right. Goodbye, Ruth.

[Captain January]

Laura, what is it? You look as if. Are you ill? Laura.

[Star January]

Bruce, listen to me. That child. I must know who she is. Find out for me. I must know her name.

Born in Ireland, reared in Germany, yet Victor Herbert was easily the crown prince of American operetta. Much of his work, in fact, is set in the Bavaria he had known as a boy. And the spirit of Irish and Bavarian folk songs is obvious in his music. But Herbert took this foreign flavor and distilled it into something typically American. The operetta, the musical extravaganza, Naughty Marietta. And the standard, Ah, Sweet Mystery of life. Babes in Toyland, a continual delight to the young of all ages. These and many other musical contributions of the minstrel. For the million will never die or grow old. And neither will another. Of Victor Herbert's contributions to the world and the world of music. His formation with eight others of ascap, American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, an association that all but ended musical piracy in the United States. There are thousands of people who owe a debt of gratitude to Victor Herbert for that single act. There are millions who are ever grateful for him, his music. The curtain rises on our second act, presenting Margaret o' Brien as Starr and Lionel Barrymore as Captain January.

Tonight in your city, someone is walking their dog. Someone is crossing the street to their car. Someone's kid is riding a bike home and they're counting on you to drive the speed limit. Speeding accounts for nearly 30% of traffic fatalities. And most of those crashes don't happen on the interstate. They happen on the streets where people live. Slow down. It's an act of care for the people around you. So remember, speeding catches up with you. Know the road and respect its limits. Presented by NHTSA now back to your podcast.

[Captain January]

A few days have passed, then Tuesday has rolled around. Fate for Tuesday, when Star is to appear before the school board for her examination, she assures Captain January nothing of her meeting with the lady on the mainland. For the captain's only worry is how to help Star pass. Alone in the lighthouse, he studies a book of grammar. His brow is furrowed with deep lines as he struggles with the conjugation of the verb going to be. I was, you were, he was, we were, you were, they was, were. That can't be right. Something's all mixed up here. Why didn't I go to school instead of running off to se.

[Star January]

Morning, Cat.

[Captain January]

Oh, hello.

[Star January]

What you doing?

[Captain January]

Nothing.

[Star January]

I thought you were going to help me with my examination.

[Captain January]

Oh, I am. I am. Now, let's see.

[Star January]

How about starting off with a little grammar?

[Captain January]

Grammar? Oh, no, no, no. They won't ask you anything about grammar. We'll begin with arithmetic. Recite the multiplication by five table.

[Star January]

Cap, that's kid stuff, huh? We've got to make it tougher than that.

[Captain January]

We'll do the sixth table. Go ahead.

[Star January]

Oh, but that's the baby. Seven years old.

[Captain January]

Seven years old. And they know the multiplication by six tables?

[Star January]

Sure they do.

[Captain January]

I never even heard of it till I was 23. All right, all right. Let's get on to geography.

[Star January]

Geography. I like that.

[Captain January]

Oh, you do? Well, here we go. Now, if you were sailing from Boston High harbor to China, to what point of the compass would you turn the nose on the second day out?

[Star January]

Cap, I don't think that's the way they'd ask it.

[Captain January]

No? Why not?

[Star January]

Well, Captain Nazo says

[Captain January]

all was Nazarel. Did I hear my name mentioned? What do you Want nothing with you, you desiccated old crawfish. But I thought I'd come and help Star get ready for the examination. You being so illiterate. Me, illiterate? I can spell you down, read you down and figure you down. I can do it with my hands tied behind my back, sir. No, you couldn't. You need your fingers to count on. Oh, is that so? You can't count over 10 without taking your shoes off.

[Star January]

Look, gentlemen, this isn't going to help me pass that examination.

[Captain January]

She's right. But this might help.

[Star January]

What do you say?

[Captain January]

Well, you see Star, I figured it might help things along if we knew the questions they was going to ask. This here is the examination paper. I, I borrowed it from the school room.

[Star January]

Captain Nasro, that's cheating.

[Captain January]

It is?

[Star January]

Of course it is, isn't it, Cass?

[Captain January]

That's a very delicate point. But we didn't talk about that. Some other time. Let me see that paper. N. Now, Star, the first question. If a field is 87 and a half rods long and 43 and a quarter rods wide, what is the length of the diagonal drawn from the northeast corner to the southwest corner? Prove it.

[Star January]

Well, what's the answer?

[Captain January]

What's the answer, Nasru? Well, how much is a rod? How many fathoms? Would it do you any good to know now? Well then keep quiet. Prove that he takes.

[Star January]

Wait a minute. What's that?

[Captain January]

It's the second question.

[Star January]

But we didn't get the answer to the first one.

[Captain January]

Well, we're skipping the first one. Prove that heat expands.

[Star January]

Prove that heat expands. What does it mean?

[Captain January]

That means prove that heat makes things bigger.

[Star January]

Well, let's see. Sure it does. Look. It's hot in the summertime, isn't it? If the days are longer in the summertime. In the on winter. Well.

[Captain January]

Well, Nel. Well, that sounds logical to me. Yes, sir, 100%.

[Star January]

This isn't so hard. What's for number three?

[Captain January]

Number three? Write down from memory the quality of mercy speech from the Merchant of Venice.

[Star January]

The quality of mercy is not strained.

[Captain January]

Is that old? I think it goes on from there.

[Star January]

But that's all I know.

[Captain January]

This is a put up job. That hatchet faced school teacher is just trying to frame us. Let me see that paper. No child of 10 could answer this stuff. I, I can't even answer it myself. Wait, wait. I, I, I think I made a mistake. What? Well, this here's a high school examination. High school? So you can't even steal proper? Well, it said examination, didn't it? How was I to Know there's different tests for different ages. That's right. How was you to know? You never passed a 10 year old test, did you? Well, I could have passed one. Maybe when you was full grown.

[Star January]

Excuse me for interrupting, but I have to leave for school soon.

[Captain January]

Yeah, See now with me telling that Morgan woman I was teaching stuff in the Bible, they pretty apt to be some questions about the Bible. Well, there ain't many children as up in the book as she is. I know, I know. What are the four gospels?

[Star January]

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

[Captain January]

Fine. You remember. Remember that story I read you last week about the prodigal son?

[Star January]

Uh huh. The father said, bring out the fat attack and kill it and let us seek and be married.

[Captain January]

Correct. But everybody wasn't, Mary Star. It was a brother and they were his neighbors. Now, who was sorry that the prodigal

[Star January]

son come back the fatted calf. Ladies and gentlemen of the school board, I think you know why we are here today. This child Star January is to take the 10 year old test. Sit over there, please. Thank you. We also have another student here, a little gentleman from New York. Girl is going to summer school this year. Sit next to her, please, dear.

[Captain January]

Oh, Judge Hardrow. Yes, Judge.

[Star January]

I've invited you here for a very special reason. I don't need this little girl being booked up properly. But I'll let you determine that for yourself.

[Captain January]

Begin the examination, Mrs. Morgan.

[Star January]

Now, children, on the blackboard is a drawing of eight fishing schooners. Excuse me, but the odd schooners, Mrs. Morgan, they're catches. What's that? You said schooners. But they're really catches. I don't believe that makes any difference. Oh, but it does. You see, a schooner carries its mismatch amidship. And a catch is more like a yaw. That will be enough, please. Yes, ma'. Am. On the blackboard we have eight. Eight catches. If one could carry a load of 100 tons of fish and four could carry twice as much. How many tons could they all carry? Half filled. Well, Star? Well, in the first place, I don't think you can get 100 tons of fish on a catch. That's not the question. But the boat would sink. Be quiet. Yes, ma'. Am. Darl, do you know the answer? Half will be. Boat should carry 600 tons of fish. Not on top of the water.

[Captain January]

No muffling, please.

[Star January]

Thank you, Gerald. Now, Star, will you please define a relative pronoun? A relative pronoun. A relative pronoun. Surely you know that. Well, my pronoun is a pronoun that connects Two clauses. And has its antecedents in the other clause. Very good, Gerald. Wow. And now we'll discuss literature. Gerald, will you please tell us in

[Captain January]

your own words the story of one

[Star January]

of William Shakespeare's plays?

[Captain January]

Well, once, there's a man named Romeo. And there was a girl, a Juliet.

[Star January]

Go on, dear.

[Captain January]

Well, her family was called Capulets.

[Star January]

Decapulet. And his family were named Mon Star. Please stop annoying Gerald. But I'm not annoying him, Mrs. Morgan. I'm just trying to help him.

[Captain January]

Who are you?

[Star January]

And just what do you know? The story of Romeo and Juliet. We inhabit those at the lighthouse. I've read it. Twice. And you understood, of course. Oh, yes. You see, these mommy views. And Capulets, they hated each other like poison.

[Captain January]

Never mind.

[Star January]

So Romeo and Juliet, they couldn't eat, so they met in the garden, sat on the slide. I beg your pardon? They couldn't get married on kind of old folks who weren't on speaking terms. So this Juliet, she takes a drug and knocks herself cold. Really? And stick you in a box and ship her off to a vault. She's as cold as a herring in there. And Romeo thinks she's a goner. Just then, a fellow named Paris walks in. They get into a scrap. Just a moment. What a battle. Romeo stabs Taris. Paris stabs Romeo. Will you please. Romeo says Paris is to fight to the finish. And the next thing you know, Paris is on the ground, stabbed through the kiddos. What?

[Captain January]

What was that?

[Star January]

And then Romeo. Super time.

[Captain January]

Yes, yes, I see. I see.

[Star January]

See the kind of brain up he's had? What are we going to do with her?

[Captain January]

Put her in the eighth grade. She's won. Eighth grade. He said put her in the eighth grade. Here, Nazo, have some more cider. Thanks. Pretty good for a fellow that never had much book learning. What's book learning got to do with cider? I'm talking about educating Star so good that she jumps right into the eighth grade. You educate her. It's the things I learned her that put her through. Fuck you. Who is it? It's Winthrop, Captain. The minister. Oh. Come in, sir. Come in, come in. Morning, Captain. Good morning, Sir. Ezra. Morning, Mr. Winthrop. If it's Star you come to see, she's in school. Eighth grade. I came to see you January. About her.

[Captain January]

Bad news? Depends on the way you look at it, Captain. A lady came to my house yesterday. A lady and a gentleman. Their name is Easton. They're visitors here. Well, they asked me a lot about the star, about where she came from and how long ago. I told them about the night you found her on the beach. Oh, you told them? We talked for a long time, Captain. I told them I would bring them out here tonight. You see, they want to take Star. They want to bring her to Boston to give her a home there. Why? Why? Because. Because from what they told me, I have no doubt that that star is Mrs. Easton's Le.

[Star January]

We were traveling most of the time, Captain January, and all we heard was that my sister had been lost in a shipwreck. When we came back to America, we tried to learn more about it, but they told us that everyone had been lost. Then we came up here. When I saw the child, I almost knew then. She looked so much like my sister. And then the locket. I know. She's my niece, Captain January. She's my sister's child.

[Captain January]

What if she is, Captain? What if she is? I say. What have you done for her? If you ever take her out of the sea, did you swear to the Lord that to help save her, you do as should Be done by her? Have you worked and sweated for her and lived in fear that some days she might be taken away from you? Huh? Have you? Captain January. Well, I'm sorry, ma'. Am.

[Star January]

Please believe me. I know what this means to you. And if it weren't for the child's own good, I wouldn't ask you to let me take it.

[Captain January]

We can give her everything she wants, Captain. A home schooling, and more important, I think we can make her happy for the child's own good. There's a thought there, isn't it? There's another. You say you can prove that she's your niece. We have the passenger list from the Hunter. The mother and child were both registered.

[Star January]

And then there's the locket. There was a picture in it. My sister and her baby, taken when she was a year old. My sister was wearing a white dress, smiling and looking down at the child. Is. Is that picture still there?

[Captain January]

Yeah. I don't think there's any question that Mrs. Easton is far as Aunt Captain. No, there's no question.

[Star January]

Then you'll let us take her?

[Captain January]

Lord giveth. The Lord taketh a word. Well, I'll ask you to do it easy. It'll be sudden, like for the girls, you know. And she ain't used to being took sudden by ways being slow. We'll be very careful, Captain.

[Star January]

Cap, where are you? Hold on.

[Captain January]

Come in, Star. Come in. This lady is Mrs. Easton, and this is Mr. Easton.

[Star January]

Hello, Star. Hello. You remember me, don't you? Yes. I met you on the docks one day. We were going to buy some lobsters. That's right. Well, I. I guess you want to talk. I better go upstairs. Oh, please don't go. You see, we want to talk to you. Star, do you remember my asking about that locket you were wearing? May I see it now? I haven't got it. Where is it, Star? I haven't got it. I see.

[Captain January]

Star, you keep that locket in the box over there, don't you? I think you better get it for us, darling.

[Star January]

Why does she look at. Why does she want it? Why does she look at me that way?

[Captain January]

Because this lady is your aunt, D. My aunt? Yeah. Your own kin.

[Star January]

Darling, I haven't any kid. You know that. I haven't anybody but you. Tell her to go away. I don't like anybody looking at me the way she does. I don't belong to her. I belong to you.

[Captain January]

Easy. Don't. Oh. Easy, Helm. Steady now. Car. Your aunt wants to take you to live with her through the providence of God. She's been led here to you and she feels it's her duty to claim you the name of your parents.

[Star January]

I won't go with her. I've lived here ever since I can remember. I won't go. Cass, why don't you say something into here? They're trying to take me away.

[Captain January]

They have a right to you, child.

[Star January]

A right to me. Do you want me to. To go away? Do you? Are you tired of me?

[Captain January]

Well, honey, I. I'm an old man now and. And an old man likes quiet, you see, and. Well, I'd be quieter by myself, so maybe it's all for the best.

[Star January]

No, Captain O. You've never ever said anything like that before. All you thought about was me. I told you I'd never go away and then you'd be happy. And now.

[Captain January]

And I tell you that I'm needing rest and quiet as Susan to an old man. I kept you here for eight whole years. What thanks do I get? Hanging on to me and hanging on to me. If you want me to stay right out there, child of will, I want you to go off with these folks and leave me alone.

[Star January]

Will it? If that's the way you feel about it.

[Captain January]

Yeah. Got it.

[Star January]

All right, I'll go. I'll go and never come back. I'll go, do you hear? Never. Never.

[Captain January]

Hey. God forgive me for this. Things I said to the child. May God forgive me.

[Star January]

I know I didn't mean it, Lord. Please only make me believe so. Please let me stay here, Lord. Please let me stay with Cat. The cat picked me away. If he wronged me, let them. And hiding that locket really wasn't dishonest, was it? And if it was, please forgive me because. Because if they have that locket, then they know I belong to them. And I don't. I belong to Cat. I belong here. Oh, please, Lord. Please let me stay.

[Captain January]

After a brief intermission, Lionel Barrymore and Margaret O' Brien will return in Act 3 of Captain January. You can we return you now to Mr. Keeley? After the play, we'll bring Margaret O' Brien and Lionel Barrymore back to the footlights for a brief chat. Here they are in the final act of Captain January. It's dawn of the next day. On the rocky beach near the lighthouse, Captain January stands looking out at the angry sea. All night long he's walked the path he could the rocks and the lighthouse gate. His hair is rumpled by the wind his eyes bright and fever from the road comes Captain Nasril to stand quietly beside him. It's fixing up the storm right. Be blowing a gale by evening. Evening. They'll be coming for her. Then they'll be coming to stars. Take her away. January, I was wondering if. Well, it'll be mighty lonesome here for you for a while. Why don't you come into the village and live with me? Live with you? It's comfortable. Food is good. We'll be taking care of the light. Well, the light will take care of itself. See? They're going to install automatic equipment. What's that? Look here. This telegram came last night. Read it. Genuine 36 month automatic equipment will be installed in lighthouses 8, 9 and 10. Informal keepers. Their services will be no longer required. I'm sorry, Captain. Of course there'll be a pension for you. A pension. There's a fine life for an active man like myself. Easy, Captain. Sitting in a soft chair waiting for a check each month. Nothing to do but wait and think. Easy, man. Why, you're sick, January. You better come inside. I'm not sick. You're feverish. Now come along. Well, I can look after myself. All right. I'll be in the village if you need.

[Star January]

Cap, I've been waiting all day for you to come back. What's the matter? Aren't you gonna talk to me?

[Captain January]

There's nothing left to say.

[Star January]

I only want to hear one thing. You weren't telling the truth last night, were you? You don't want me to go away, do you? Please, Cap, tell me.

[Captain January]

I'M trying to do what's best.

[Star January]

I know you didn't mean it. You couldn't. I. I don't believe you. Then, any you believe me. So I said I wanted to go,

[Captain January]

Not a question of wanting.

[Star January]

Why isn't it? They can't take me away if I won't go. And the locket thing is the only thing that'll prove anything. And they can't find it. No one will ever find it.

[Captain January]

There's more than the locket for you. The way you come here and. Well, I can't explain it to you. I can't think. Somehow. It's all dark and misty.

[Star January]

You mean I gotta go with them? Is that what you mean? Yes, Star, but not cause you want me to go. You don't, do you?

[Captain January]

Who wants you to go? What? Star, how can you say that?

[Star January]

Oh, Cat. Cat.

[Captain January]

There, there, now, now, now. It's a fine life you'll have, darling. I'll be coming to see you as often as they let me. Oftener, maybe. Yeah. They're good people, Cath.

[Star January]

What if they have you, Tom? We go on living just the same, wouldn't we? You wouldn't be talking of a fine life then. We'd live just like we were, wouldn't we?

[Captain January]

Aye, but they did come.

[Star January]

Then why don't we run away?

[Captain January]

What's that?

[Star January]

We were always talking about going someplace else. Why? Why? We could take the sailboat and go down the coast and no one would know us.

[Captain January]

Oh, Star, don't be saying such things. I can't. I can't think. I tell you, I put the food in the boat.

[Star January]

We could sail for days and days. We could.

[Captain January]

They'd find us. They'd bring us back. Back?

[Star January]

No, they wouldn't. Please, Pat. I'll get the boat ready. We'll be gone before dark.

[Captain January]

It's the wrong thing, Star. It's wrong. It's wrong.

[Star January]

It isn't wrong. We're going, do you hear? We're going.

[Captain January]

To.

[Star January]

Everything aboard?

[Captain January]

All set. Get in the boat.

[Star January]

Oh, wait, wait. I forgot about Imogen. I'll turn her loose. I'll be right back.

[Captain January]

Hurry back, sir. January. What are you doing down here? Out of my way. I'm busy. You're going to take this boat out in the sea like this? I can handle any boat in any kind of sea. Where are you going? I'm taking Star away. Ha ha. Don't be afraid, fool. You can't do that. You're sick. Sick, am I? You're raging with fever right now. You'd Never be thinking of such a thing. Get out of my way. I won't. You're not leaving with that child if I have to knock you down and sit on you. Now get off of this boat. Get off. You know, you and me have had a lot of fights. But I always thought that down deep you was my friend. I am your friend. You let him come here and take Star away from me, and you call yourself my friend? Oh, it's for the best. January. Come on up to the lighthouse. Let me go. Another. Let me alone or I'll bring you. You crazy man. Stop it. Stop it.

[Star January]

Let him go. Let him go. What are you doing to him? Let him go.

[Captain January]

Da. You're not leaving here tonight.

[Star January]

We are. We have to.

[Captain January]

No one's going to stop us. You or any others. Da, he's not his self. Can't you see? He's raven mad. He's a sick man, Star. Ah. Would he be taking a boat out tonight if he knew what he was doing? Let me go. Any boat in any sea. We're ready, Star. Come on. We're ready.

[Star January]

What's the matter? Talk.

[Captain January]

Spa. Go get the doctor. Quick.

[Star January]

Is that all you can tell us, doctor?

[Captain January]

That's all, Mrs. Easton. He's a very sick man. What about the little girl? I mean, her staying here. We don't want to take her away if it'll have bad effects. He's barely conscious now. It might be just as well if she weren't here. I've already told Yvette she's to go with you.

[Star January]

You'll keep us informed, Doctor?

[Captain January]

Of course, Laura. Where is Stuff? I've allowed her to see him for a moment. You'll be right back.

[Star January]

Would die Happ. I wouldn't be leaving now, only. Only the doctor says. I love to. But when you wake up, I. I'm gonna try to be back. And don't forget, you're going to come and see me. Whenever they met you, and maybe. Maybe oftener. And when you're not there, I'll be thinking of you. I'll be thinking of you all the time. Oh, Star, dear. Yes, ma'.

Oh, Star, I've been looking all over for you. Uncle Bruce will be back from New York soon. He'll want to see you. Yes, ma'. Am. Star. What's the matter? Aren't you happy here, dear? You've been wonderful to me, Aunt Laura. I never. I never had such pretty clothes and things. But that's not enough, is it? Oh, I didn't mean it like that. I. Everything Here. You and Uncle Boot. Why, you've been wonderful. You've even brought the speech out, thinking it may make you feel better. Well, it does. Only Daddy, you don't have to explain it to me. I know how you feel. Have you. Have you heard from Cap lately? Justin, He's a lot better. You've been writing to him every day, Hap, haven't you? Yes. He answered too. You know Cap. He's not so strong on Stellen. Aunt Laura, now that he's better, do you think we can go and see him sometime? Well, we'll have to wait and see if. Oh, there's Uncle Bruce. Come on, darling. He has a surprise for you.

[Captain January]

Hello, Laura.

[Star January]

Hello, dear. Wampa, please. Did you bring it, Boot?

[Captain January]

I certainly did. Here, Star, look out the window down by the dock.

[Star January]

Why, it's a boat.

[Captain January]

You like it?

[Star January]

Oh, it's beautiful. It's. It's almost a yacht, isn't it pretty?

[Captain January]

Nearly. Come on down. Take a look at.

[Star January]

Did you see?

[Captain January]

From New York all the way I started last night. He was me. Oh, run, brain. I sail tops in every season. You never charted.

[Star January]

Oh, crap. I thought you had forgotten me.

[Captain January]

Forgotten you? Would I forget the north and the South? Where would I Now, how did you get here?

[Star January]

What you doing?

[Captain January]

I'm captain of this craft, that's what I'm doing. And I'm the first mate captain now, so. Yes, sir. Second me. First name Second.

[NHTSA Public Service Announcer]

Second.

[Captain January]

Second.

[Star January]

Aie. It's wonderful to see you two in such good.

[Captain January]

For the majority. Here's your producer, Mr. Keeley. Back to the microphone comes Margaret O' Brien with her sea selling partner, Lionel Bargara. We're glad we got you back in time for tonight's play.

[Star January]

I enjoyed so much playing opposite Mr. Barmore again. He helped me so much on the picture we just finished making.

[Captain January]

Oh, well, thanks, Margaret. Thanks. You know, you've always been my very favorite leading lady. And, Lionel, I want you to know how much I have personally enjoyed your being with us on this stage. You're the only one of the Valimore family I haven't had the great good fortune to have played with. Feeling mutual, Bill. Well, good night.

[Star January]

Good night.

[Captain January]

Good night, Margaret. Good night, Lionel. This is William Keeley saying good night to you from Hollywood.

Tonight. In your city, someone is walking their dog. Someone is crossing the street to their car. Someone's kid is riding a bike home. And they're counting on you to drive the speed limit. Speeding accounts for nearly 30% of traffic fatalities. And most of those crashes don't happen on the interstate. They happen on the streets where people live. Slow down. It's an act of care for the people around you. So remember, speeding catches up with you. Know the road and respect its limits. Presented by NHTSA now back to your podcast.
