[Narrator/Announcer]

Lux presents Hollywood. Leave it on. His company, the makers of Lux Pilot soap, brings you the Lux Radio Theater starring Merlo Brown and Cameron Mitchell in Wuthering Heights. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Irving Cummings. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight not Only begins the 21st year of the Lux Radio Theatre on the air, but we will present the first of our 20 great motion pictures of the past 20 years. Our opening masterpiece is Mr. Samuel Goldwyn's Tempestuous drama Wuthering Heights, one of the world's great love stories. And as afdar, we have beautiful and talented Merlo Braun recreating her original role and one of the fastest rising young stars in Hollywood, Cameron Mitchell. Following our play, we will pay tribute to our special guest, Mr. Samuel Gold, who will tell us about his latest production, Guys and Dolls. Now Act One of Wuthering Heights, starring Merle Oberon as Kathy and Cameron Mitchell as Heathcliff. Desolate and lonely are the rolling moorlands of Eng. Where in the winter night the snow drifts loom like giant specters in the teeth of screaming gales. About 100 years ago, a stranger lost his way on such a night. Freezing, blinded and stumbling, he saw at last the fitful lights of an old manor house, aged and crumbling on the hillside. He knocked desperately at the door. It was opened by a doddering old butler who stood staring at him. Then, without a word, he led the stranger into the musty living room. There in the dim candlelight, a man and two women sat without moving. The man was tall and dark skinned like a gypsy on his face, the stamp of years, a bit of suffering. At last, the man turned and spoke.

[Heathcliff]

Who are you? What do you want? My name's Lockwood.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I've lost my way on the moors.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Strangers have no business on the moors

[Heathcliff]

at this time of year. And no business here at any time.

[Narrator/Announcer]

But I. I couldn't find a village. A man could die out there on

[Heathcliff]

a night like this. I'm afraid I'll have to stay until morning. Do as you please. Beg your pardon. I don't keep accommodation.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Mr. Cliff, you can't. He's our guest.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, then suppose you attend to his comfort.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Helen, show the gentleman to the guest room, please. The guest room, master? Yes. There's no other place. Well, yes, mistress. This way, sir. Now, you hold the narrator while I unlock the door.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Of course.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Mind you, to assemble on the carpet.

[Heathcliff]

Ah.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You call this the death chamber?

[Ellen (Servant)]

It was once a trifle depressing. Light of fire. No fire will burn in that grate, sir. The chimney's been crowned for years.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Must have been a fine old house then.

[Ellen (Servant)]

What's it called? This is Wuthering Heights, sir. And the tall chap downstairs with the piercing eyes? That'll be Master Heathcliff, sir. And the once lovely lady who looks at him with fear? That's his wife, Mistress Isabella. Well, good night, sir. If you want anything, there's the bell rope. My name is Ellen.

[Heathcliff]

Well, thank you, Ellen. Good night.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

What is?

[Ellen (Servant)]

The door?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

The window. The cat's broke in the window. Stand that.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I'll close it.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I heard a voice. Good heaven.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Didn't you hear that voice?

[Ellen (Servant)]

A woman shouting she's lost on the moor.

[Narrator/Announcer]

What's going on? A voice out there.

[Ellen (Servant)]

A woman crying that she's lost.

[Heathcliff]

And she's come. She's come again at last.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, Cassie.

[Heathcliff]

Cassie, wait for me.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Wait for me. He's not going out there in that.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Go. I'm coming. I'm coming. Kathy.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Oh, but this is insane.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Come back. Cassie.

[Heathcliff]

Cassie.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Close the window.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Get in with that man out there.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Close the window. Am I mad? Why did he go out there? What was that voice? You heard him call her name? It was Kathy.

[Heathcliff]

Kathy?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Who is she?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Kathy is a girl who died.

[Heathcliff]

But I don't believe in ghosts, if that's what you mean. I don't believe in phantoms, drop in the night.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You don't believe? Perhaps if I told you her story, you'd change your mind about the death returning. Tell me her story. It all began the day in return to Wuthering Heights as a servant. That was 50 years ago it was a sweet, well kept estate. Then Mr. Earhaw was master of fine man. He dearly loved his two children, Cattle and Himley. One day Mr. Earnshaw returned from Liverpool. Was a fun boy. He had picked up a dark habit looking gypsy lad with the most dreadful marks of beating upon his back. Mr. Earnshaw called for me the moment he arrived.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Give him a good stubbing, Ellen. And put some of Hindley's clothes on him.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Come with me, lad. Don't touch me. Let me alone.

[Heathcliff]

Good. Now, now, now, son.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Ellen won't hurt you. You'll stay here.

[Heathcliff]

No one will ever meet you again. And you'll always have plenty to eat. Poppy.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

France, Hummy France. Get out of my way. Hello, Father.

[Heathcliff]

Well, Henley.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Kathy.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Papa. Who's that boy? Yes, who is he, Father?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Children, this little guest will pay us

[Heathcliff]

a visit for a time.

[Narrator/Announcer]

As long as he wants a home yard.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Who's dirty?

[Heathcliff]

Look at him, Kathy. Don't make me ashamed of you. Hindley.

[Narrator/Announcer]

He will sleep in your room.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

In my room? I won't let him. He's a dirty hip.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That will do, Hindley.

[Heathcliff]

Take charge of the lad, Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And what was his name then, Mr. Henchard?

[Heathcliff]

His name? I think we shall call him Heathcliff. Yes, sir.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Come, Heathcliff.

[Ellen (Servant)]

That dark, brooding boy who never before had known kindness brought a subtle tease to life at Wuthering Heights. The three children seed the play well enough to going scamping off over the moor on their ponies and climbing the crags together. But neither Cathy nor Hindley were open and fragged anymore. And one day the children fought openly.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Your father gave me this pony. It's mine. Give me that pony, do you hear? Or I'll tell father you boasted you'd turn us off when he died. That's a lie. I never said it. Of course you didn't.

[Narrator/Announcer]

He did.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

He'll cheat us out of everything. You never had a father, you gypsy beggar, and you'll never get mine. Tindley, don't hit him.

[Heathcliff]

No, no, no.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

He drift without the other stone there. Frankie doesn't teach you, Hindley.

[Heathcliff]

He's bleeding.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Serves him right. Sipping stiff. Are you hurt? He hit me with that stone. Kid. Why don't you ever cry when you're hurt like other people? Why should I cry? I'll pay him back someday. I don't care how long I wait. If I can only pay him back. Heathcliff, don't say those things. Come, Heathcliff. Now Hindy's gone, we can have our game at the castle again. I don't feel like playing at the castle. Please. You always smile and laugh when we're there.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Come on.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Heathcliff. Don't dance. Oh, he sit here beside me. This is our castle. It's this Penistone Craig, and you know it. It's in your castle, you know. Drinking disguise. Tell me about it again. Well, it's all true. Cross my heart. Your father was Emperor of China and your mother Queen of India. You were kidnapped by wicked sailors and brought to England. Don't make fun of me, Kathy. I'm not making fun of you. You're a really and truly prince. And I'm your slave. No. You're my queen, Kathy. And you'll always be my queen, you hear? Yes, Miss Kit. Your queen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And that's the way they grew up. Wild and free, roaming the moors together. But Patty was 18 in Henry, past 21 when Mr. Earnshaw died. Good man. He never saw the evil of life. He braves his kiss like his own son. But on the very day of his funeral.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You're not going into that room to look at my father's body.

[Heathcliff]

Why, he loves me more than you.

[Narrator/Announcer]

He's past your wheedling now. I'm master of Wuthering Heights. If you want to stay here, we've need for a stable boy.

[Heathcliff]

A staple boy.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That or get out.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And that's what he became. Heathcliff, who had lived under this roof as one of the families was a staple boy.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, give me a hand up to my saddle. Very well, sir. You gypsy beggar. How many times must I tell you, sir? That's better.

[Heathcliff]

By the time I come back in the morning, I won't be straight.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Scrubbed. Scrubbed.

[Heathcliff]

You understand?

[Narrator/Announcer]

If they're not, I'll thrash you to my anthrop.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Heathcliff. Heathcliff.

[Heathcliff]

Yes, Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, Heathcliff. I heard him.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

How much longer are you going to stand this?

[Heathcliff]

I don't know what you mean.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Look at you.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Dirty and unkemptened in rags. Why aren't you a man? Why don't you run away?

[Heathcliff]

Run away?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You could come back late. You're taking away.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Why aren't you a prince like we said long ago?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Why don't you rescue me, Heathcliff?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Kathy.

[Heathcliff]

Can't he come away with me now?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Now? Where?

[Heathcliff]

Anywhere.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You mean leaders?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

We are live in haystacks, steal our food. Oh, no, Heathcliff.

[Ellen (Servant)]

That isn't what I want.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, you just want me to go off alone.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, no, Kathy, no.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That I won't do. I've stayed here since your father's death. I've been beaten and cursed Like a dog abused and driven mad just so

[Heathcliff]

I could be near you. And like a dog, I'll stay to the end.

Thank you, Edgar. Oh, Ellen, we had the most marvelous time.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Have you forgiven me?

[Heathcliff]

It was not your heart that spoke, Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

No, my husband. But that my heart is yours.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, Kathy. The clouds are lowing over the winter head.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

See how the light is changing?

[Heathcliff]

Kathy, you are such a part of the poor.

[Ellen (Servant)]

We belong to the moors, you and I. Oh, Heathcliff. Make the world stop right here.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Make everything stop and stand still and never move again.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Mister. Moors never change. And you and I never change.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Don't talk, Lipkin. Don't talk. All this might disappear.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Ellen, hurry, please. My hair's not nearly fixed yet. Supposing you're not ready when your Mr. Linton gets here. Any young man who will come sniveling

[Ellen (Servant)]

back after the way you treat.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

But I said my apologies to him, didn't I? Of course he'll come. Oh, Kathy, I can't believe this change in you.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Just yesterday seemed you were a stupid harum scarum child with dirty hands and a willful heart.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

That's my other nature, Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I still have it.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

It used to fly around wild, but now I can coax it into a cage whenever I want.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Heaven.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Since when are you in the habit of entering my room?

[Narrator/Announcer]

You're not.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I will not. I take orders from you.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, now that we're so happily alone, may I know to what I owe this great honor?

[Heathcliff]

He's coming here again.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Who?

[Heathcliff]

That stupid fop Linton.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You're unbearable.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Utterly unbearable.

[Heathcliff]

Why are you dressed in silk?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Because gentlefolk dressed for dinner.

[Heathcliff]

Why are you trying to win his puling flattery?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I'm not a child anymore. You can't talk to me that way.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I'm not talking to a child.

[Heathcliff]

I'm talking to Kathy.

[Narrator/Announcer]

My Cathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, I'm your Kathy.

[Heathcliff]

Yes, you are.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

And I'm to take orders from you in dirty stableware?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Hey, Kathy, where's your heart?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You had your chance to be something else. You left here once. Why didn't you stay away? Now let me alone.

[Ellen (Servant)]

That's right.

[Heathcliff]

That's right.

[Narrator/Announcer]

The dirty stable boy can't come near you, lest he soil your dress. But who soils your heart, Cassie? Who turns you into a cheap, vain, ambitious fool?

[Heathcliff]

Linton does.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You let yourself be loved by him because it pleases your spirit. Stupid, greedy vanity.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Thief or beggar is all you were born to be. Kneeling beside the road, begging for favors, not earning them, but whimpering for them with your dirty hands.

[Narrator/Announcer]

All I am to you now is

[Heathcliff]

a pair of dirty hands.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, have them then. Have them where they belong.

[Heathcliff]

No, Kathy. It doesn't help to strike.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, Heathcliff, I'll thank you to stay

[Ellen (Servant)]

out of my kitchen.

[Heathcliff]

Yes. Kathy's still with him.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes, he is. What's the matter with you? What are you staring at?

[Heathcliff]

Oh, Ellen. Ellen. I want to crawl to her feet. Beg to be forgiven for loving her. For needing her more than my own life. I don't care, Ellen.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I don't care if she loves Linton

[Heathcliff]

or whom she loves. If she'll only look at me and say my name.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, it's Ms. Cliff.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Ellen. Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

She's coming now. Get out here.

[Heathcliff]

Now wait outside the door.

[Ellen (Servant)]

No, you can't.

[Heathcliff]

I want to be where I can see her.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Here. Let's go for her.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Ellen, where are you?

[Ellen (Servant)]

There you are. Yes, Miss Kathy. Has Mr. Linton gone? Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Oh, Ellen, I have some wonderful news for you. Edgar has asked me to marry him.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And what did you say? I'm to give him my answer to Nora. That's. Do you love him? Of course. Why?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, that's a silly question.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Because he's handsome and pleasant to be with? Not enough.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, then, because he'll be rich someday and I'll be the finest lady in the county.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, Ellen, it would be heaven to escape from here. What about you? Hinchcliff Heechliff? He gets worse every day. It would be great me to marry him. I wish he'd never come back. What is that? I want nothing but a room. Perhaps. Well, my darling, it must have represented his beautiful home in heaven to you. You'd better enter that heaven and take your place among the Lincoln angels. The only thing is, I wonder if I belong in heaven. I dreamed once I was there and I broke my heart with weeping to come back to to the Beat Moors. The angels were so angry they flung me back. And I awoke on top of Wuthering Heights sobbing with joy. So, Ellen, I suppose I've really no more business marrying Edgar Linton than I have of being in heaven. But Ellen. Ellen, what can I do? You're thinking of. He's clever. Who else? He seems to take pleasure in being mean and brutal. And yet he's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same. The little happiness he's known, I've known too.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

If everything else in the world died

[Ellen (Servant)]

and only Heathcliff remained life would still be full for me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Ellen. I am Heathcliff.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Who's that? I heard Miss kissing Miss Joseph.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Heathcliff's taken Master Hindley's best horse.

[Ellen (Servant)]

He's gone.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Gone?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Ellen.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Ellen. Did he hear what I said?

[Heathcliff]

Yes, mister.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

How much did he hear?

[Ellen (Servant)]

I'm not sure, but I think to where you said it would be good of you to marry him.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

No. Heathler. Heathler. Come there. Come there. My.

[Narrator/Announcer]

On that stormy winter night a century ago, a traveler, Lockwood sat in the musty guest room at Wuthering Heights listening to the story told him by the old servant Ellis.

[Ellen (Servant)]

At night, the heat just went away. Kathy ran far across the wood after him in a bitter cold, calling his knee into the wind. Hours later in the morning, Edgar Linton found her half frozen in her silken party dress. For weeks after she was ill, the Linton took her to their manor house in Asbestos. Day by day, the strange influence that Heathcliff had had upon Kathy wore off. And she was happy with Edgar.

[Heathcliff]

Why can't you remain here forever, Kathy?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, Edgar. You and your sister. You've been too kind to me already.

[Heathcliff]

If I can make you happy by just being kind, that should be enough for me. After all, what else can I give you?

[Ellen (Servant)]

What else? You've given me a great deal else. You've given me your own self. Your strength. My strength. You'd understand if you really knew what my life was before.

Chumba Casino it was like the moors, endless and desolate. And I was lost in time, calling for someone in the darkness to save me. I was so frightened, so terribly alone. Then suddenly you were there. You held out your hand and led me back to a way of living I really never knew before. What you said long ago is true. There was a curse on me, Edgar, that kept me from being myself, or at least from what I wanted to be. That kept me from living in heaven. Verd. Do you understand now, Cathy, my darling?

[Heathcliff]

Let me take care of you. Love you always.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Would you.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Would you love me always?

[Heathcliff]

Always, Cassie.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Then let's be married, Edgar. Oh, goodly quickly. It's the Lincoln home I'd been telling to me before. I don't know what to call it. After she became his mistress, the only one who did not seem completely happy was Edgar's sister, Isabella. A year or two after the marriage, the three of them sat in the drawing room. Edgar will be Isabella and Cassie quietly being the petty point when the door knocker sounded. When I saw who it was, I went back into the Drawing room.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes. Ellen, what's the matter?

[Ellen (Servant)]

It's his. Captain Heathcliff has come back. Tell him I'm not at home, Ellen.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Not at home, darling, to whom?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

It's Heathcliff.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Heathcliff?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Mm.

[Heathcliff]

Does he seem the same, Ellen?

[Ellen (Servant)]

No, sir. I hardly recognize. And I can find clothes. He seems quite so impressive. Adam.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I said I didn't wish to see him.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, nonsense, Kathy.

[Narrator/Announcer]

It's been a long time. Bygones. Must be bygones.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes. Let us see some kind of caller.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Fill him in, Ellen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes, Edgar? This is a mistake.

[Heathcliff]

Cassie, your hands are trembling.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Are they?

[Heathcliff]

The past is dead, my dear. Don't hesitate to smile and be nice to him, because I'll understand. And it's my wife who loves me who smiles.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Thank you, Edgar. You always understand. Mr. Heathcliff.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Come in.

[Heathcliff]

Hello, Catherine.

[Narrator/Announcer]

How are you? Heathcliff, have you met my sister Isabella?

[Heathcliff]

Oh, how do you do, Ms. Lip?

[Ellen (Servant)]

We are glad to see a gift, sir.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, Heathliff, I must say I've never seen such a complete change in a man. You seem to have buffered.

[Heathcliff]

Yes, I have.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You must have found at least a gold mine. No, I merely remembered that my father

[Heathcliff]

was Emperor of China and my mother a Queen of India.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Staying long in the neighborhood?

[Heathcliff]

I'm staying the rest of my life.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Really.

[Heathcliff]

I have just bought the horses, the cattle and the moors belonging to the estate known as Wuthering Heights. You mean Cathy's brother Hindley sold out? Yes, but he doesn't know it yet. I imagine it will be a shock when he, Hindley discovers his gambling and liquor debts were paid up for him by. By his former stable boy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Heathcliff.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You can't have done that.

[Heathcliff]

That's as underhanded a piece of work as ever I heard of.

[Narrator/Announcer]

If I'd known Hindley was in such

[Heathcliff]

financial strait that his holdings were being stolen by a freeman. May I remind you, Mr. Edgar Linton, that I am not a stranger. I am merely a neighbour. Now I'll say good night.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Wait, Heathcliff. Well, I want you to know that we sometimes have friends who come here. I guess Edgar and I. You're welcome to come too, but not with the old scowl on your face or that old bitterness in your heart.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you, my dear friend Cathy, for the warning. Oh, I. I just remembered. I forgot to congratulate you on your. Your marriage. May I now express my delight. Good night,

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Edgar. I think he behaved abominable. What? And you too.

[Narrator/Announcer]

What in thunder do you mean?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, you could at least have been civil. You dismissed him as if he'd been a servant.

[Heathcliff]

You consider him anything else?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I find he's grown fascinating and distinguished.

[Heathcliff]

Really, Isabella, I hope I misunderstand.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Well, you don't. We see all too few people. And I, for one shan't be rude if he ever calls again.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Edgar. I see. I greatly dread what the future will bring.

[Heathcliff]

No, nonsense, darling.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I tell you, the part is dead.

[Heathcliff]

That's all. Jesus. I'll occupy the master basement. Yes, sir. You'll stay on, of course. Thank you, sir.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Shall I pack Master Hindley's things?

[Heathcliff]

No, just move them out of the master's bedroom. He'll remain under this roof. Not Mr. Hindley, sir? Yes. He gave me a roof once when I needed it. Joseph. I take it he's drinking a great deal.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yes, sir. Though Dr. Kenneth has ordered him not

[Heathcliff]

to give him all the drink he wants. Say yes, sir. A lady's waiting to see you, sir. A lady from Lincoln Manor, sir. Why didn't you tell me? In the future, you'll have announced visitors immediately. Oh, Ms. Lincoln.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Are you disappointed, sir?

[Heathcliff]

Not at all.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I was passing by.

[Ellen (Servant)]

My horse went lame.

[Heathcliff]

I see.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I just want to tell you I'm

[Ellen (Servant)]

furious with my brother and Kathy. They received you most shamefully last night.

[Heathcliff]

Your brother didn't send you with this apology?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, no. In fact, he's forbidden me to.

[Heathcliff]

To speak to me?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes.

[Heathcliff]

And Cassidy also forbade you?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes.

[Heathcliff]

Then in all the moorland, you'll. You are my only friend.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I. I would like to be.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you, Ms. Minton. I enjoy frankness. You didn't come here to apologize. And your horse can go lame. You came because you are lonely. Because the house you live in is too happily wedded for an outsider. Because it's no joy to ride the moors alone. Is that right? Yes. Then, my dear, you his own lady anymore. Oh, you think it's strange that I should kiss you?

[Ellen (Servant)]

I don't know.

[Heathcliff]

You hated it.

[Narrator/Announcer]

No.

[Heathcliff]

I see you like frankness, too.

[Ellen (Servant)]

The same strange power that Snip had held over Kathy he seemed to hold against her brother's wishes. She came often to Wuthering Heights, and she was seen many times with his cliffs, riding across moors. Then one night, there was a party at Linton Manor. Nicholas had not been invited, but he came as Isabella's guest. But his looks were all for Kathy. Dark, rolling looks. Until the guest grew uncomfortable and left before the evening had well begun. Later that night, Kathy went to Isabella's room. Isabella?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

May I come in? If you wait.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Are you getting ready for bed?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Yes.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Oh, I can get A lovely dance tonight.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

May I speak to you for a moment?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Well, Isabella, you behave disgracefully tonight.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

In what way, Mayor?

[Ellen (Servant)]

It was bad enough asking Heathcliff here

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

without consulting or

[Narrator/Announcer]

but to throw yourself

[Ellen (Servant)]

at him the way you did when

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

you refused to dance with him. I had to dance every dance as a result.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You fool. You vain little fool.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Really, Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I'm going to open your eyes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Isabella.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Don't you see me using you?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Don't you see me using you? To be near me, to smile at me behind your back. To try to rouse something in my heart that's dead. It's you who are vain and foolish, Kathy, who's great is in love with. That's a lie. It's not a lie. He told me so. He's kissed me. Yes. Kissed me. Held me in his arms. Told me he loves me. I'm going to your brother.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Go to Edgar. Tell him Heathcliff has asked me to marry him and that I have said yes. You hear? Yes. You can't, Isabella. He's not a man. He's something horrible and dark to live with. I know why you say such things. Because you love him. You're mad with jealousy at the thought of my marrying him. Because you want him to come pine for you, dream of you, die for

[Ellen (Servant)]

you while you're safe as the lovely Mrs. Edgar Linton.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You want to hurt him, destroy him. But I want to make him happy. And I will.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I will.

[Heathcliff]

Sit down, Kathy. I won't say I'm not surprised to see you.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Does Edgar know?

[Heathcliff]

He wouldn't approve.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Ceaseless. Is it true?

[Heathcliff]

Is what true?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Did you ask Isabella to marry you?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Did you? Ceaseless.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You mustn't do this villainous thing.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

She's never harmed you?

[Heathcliff]

No, Catherine, but you have harmed me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Then punish me.

[Heathcliff]

That's what I intend to do.

[Ellen (Servant)]

How?

[Heathcliff]

Every moment I hold her in my arms, when I kiss her, when I promise her life and happiness, you'll be punished.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You'd marry her? To do that?

[Heathcliff]

Yes. To teach you the ways of pain and the awful hell I'm in.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Heathcliff, if there's anything human left in you. Don't make me a partner to this kind.

[Heathcliff]

Cathy. If your heart were only stronger than your dull care for the world and its conventions. I'd live silent, content, in your shadow, begging for an occasional word or thought, as I used to do. But no. No cat in you had to destroy me with that weakness you call virtue.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You had to keep me tormented with

[Heathcliff]

that cruelty you think so pious.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

How have I been cruel?

[Heathcliff]

You wished to Be known as the finest lady in the county. You wanted your luxury and your light. At the same time you wanted to keep me, your despairing lover, ruthless.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

That's not true.

[Heathcliff]

Now that I am returned, had you given me the smile of love, I might have been content. Well, now, Kathy, you needn't think of me as your despairing and foolish lover. You can think of me as Isabella's husband and be glad for my happiness, as I am.

[Narrator/Announcer]

In the crumbling house on Wuthering Heights a hundred years ago. The candle burns low in the dreary guest room. There is no sound but the wind outside and the hushed voice of the old maid servant as she tells her story.

[Ellen (Servant)]

It was then that Isabella Ludy came into this house as a bride.

[Heathcliff]

Yes.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Edcliffe married her out of revenge. The same revenge that made him keep Henry here. So he was drinking himself into the grave. Isabella learned the reason for her marriage to Edcliffe, but she was powerless to do anything. Then one day, Dr. Kenneth, an old friend, came to see her. He had come that morning from Lincoln Manor.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I tell you, Isabella, go back where you belong, to Edgar's house.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Edgar de Sandman. Dr. Ken.

[Heathcliff]

I know. But he needs you now.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Kathy is gravely ill. Really?

[Heathcliff]

Didn't you know?

[Narrator/Announcer]

But it's a matter of days now, perhaps hours.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

He can't be dying.

[Heathcliff]

Yes. Fever, inflammation of the lungs, this intense cold. And something else.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Something else?

[Heathcliff]

Yes. I'd call it the will to die.

[Ellen (Servant)]

If Kathy dies, I might begin to live.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Isabella. Begin to live.

[Heathcliff]

In this house with Heathcliff, nothing can live.

[Narrator/Announcer]

No Henry. Nothing but hate.

[Heathcliff]

So you think begins to live when Kathy dies. You won't.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Oh, Hindley. What is it?

[Narrator/Announcer]

This house.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I can feel the hate within it like a hurting weight.

[Heathcliff]

Of course you can't. And you.

[Narrator/Announcer]

He hates you even more than he hates me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Stop it.

[Narrator/Announcer]

He loves you.

[Heathcliff]

Every time you kiss him, his heart

[Narrator/Announcer]

breaks with rage that it's not passing.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Isabella.

[Heathcliff]

Isabella. Why don't you do what I've been through with to do?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Kill him.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Don't talk to me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Get away.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Kill him.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Kill him while this still time to

[Ellen (Servant)]

save your immortal soul.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, in lady.

[Heathcliff]

Well, remarkable Ridley Hidley. It's the first coherent speech I've heard from you in weeks.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Please. Please, Dad. I. I tried to stop him.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you, my dear wife. Your loyalty is touching. Your curses will come home to feed

[Narrator/Announcer]

on your own heart. Every agony you've ever given will return. Laugh now, Heathcliff. There's no laughter in hell.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Heathcliff.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Why do you have him here?

[Heathcliff]

My dear existence would be so much less without my boyhood friend under my roof.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Heathcliff, you poison yourself with paying him back. Send him away and love will come to this house. Kiss me, Heathcliff. Tell me you love me. Tell me, darling, why.

[Heathcliff]

Why isn't there the smell of heather in your head?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Let me come near you.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Please. I can make you happy, my darling.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Let me.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Please.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You'll never regret letting me try. I bring life to you. Life and sunshine and freshness.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Put your arms around me. Look into my eyes.

[Heathcliff]

Your eyes are empty. Like an intense.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

They aren't empty. You look dupless. Look at me. I'm pretty. I'm a woman. Let your heart sins just once.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, is it how you.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

God.

[Narrator/Announcer]

God, why did you give me life? What is it but hunger and faith?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Mr. Sidney. Bella.

[Heathcliff]

What's she want here? Helen.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I've come from Linden Manor to speak to Mistress Isabella.

[Heathcliff]

Then you'll do so in front of me.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Her brother is asking that she come home for a visit.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, so he's lost some of his pride, has he?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, there's none gone in this house.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Please, Mr. Isabella. He needs you.

[Heathcliff]

Needs her? What is this, Ellen? Why does he need her?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Let go of me.

[Heathcliff]

Cap is ill. She dies. Kathy's dying?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Yes.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

She's dying. You're not going?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yes.

[Heathcliff]

Tell my wife.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

No. She belongs to Edgar.

[Heathcliff]

She belongs to me.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

If she's dying, let her die in his arms where she belongs. Let her die. Let her die.

[Heathcliff]

Now who speaks of hate?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Get out of my way, Easter. No.

[Ellen (Servant)]

No.

[Heathcliff]

And there was a murmur from the height a far away and Wild, heartbroken moan the wings of Lucifer beat on the night the soul of Lucifer wept all alone. Shall I read some more, darling?

[Ellen (Servant)]

No. Edgar, will you open the window, please?

[Heathcliff]

Won't it be too cold, please? And of course, my darling.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Now I smell the heather and. Edgar, isn't there a south wind? And is it a snow almost gone?

[Heathcliff]

Yes, quite sound.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Will you get me something?

[Heathcliff]

Anything you wish, my darling.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Some heaven. There's a beautiful patch near the castle that you'll get from this.

[Heathcliff]

What castle, Jessie?

[Ellen (Servant)]

The castle on the moor. Of course. Bring me some from there.

[Heathcliff]

You're in a fever, my dear. There's no castle on the moor.

[Ellen (Servant)]

There is.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

There is.

[Ellen (Servant)]

On the little hill beyond Wuthering Heights.

[Heathcliff]

Dennison.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Clarence. Yes? Please go now.

[Heathcliff]

Why do you call it a castle?

[Ellen (Servant)]

Because I was a queen now once. Will you bring me the havoc if

[Heathcliff]

you rest while I'm gone And sleep.

[Ellen (Servant)]

You're so kind, so good.

[Heathcliff]

My darling.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You made me the finest lady in the contest.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Such lovely clothes. I've always adored that velvet dress the most. Wasn't it a wonderful dress, Edgar?

[Heathcliff]

Wonderful when you wore it.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Go now, please. Get new heaven. Heather.

[Heathcliff]

Sleep, my dear. Kathy. I'll be back with heather.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You want. Where is she?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Where is Cassie?

[Narrator/Announcer]

She's not to be disturbed, sir. Master H is down for the doctor.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Cassie. Oh, boy.

[Heathcliff]

Catherine.

[Ellen (Servant)]

He's there. Come here.

[Heathcliff]

Cassie.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I. I dreamed you'd come before I died. And when you came in my dream, you scowled at me once more.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, Kathy.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Because it hurts so much to see me die.

[Heathcliff]

Please, Kathy. Please don't hurt me.

[Ellen (Servant)]

How strong you look. Left. How many years do you thank you, Stephane.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, Kathy. You're my life, My soul.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Don't let me go. If only I could hold you.

[Heathcliff]

Kathy.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Don't think of death.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Will you forgive me? Be happy when I'm in the air.

[Heathcliff]

Then.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Then you say this is the grave of Catherine.

[Heathcliff]

And Charlotte

[Ellen (Servant)]

not long ago wept to do that.

[Heathcliff]

But all that stuff. Oh, darling. I could as soon forget you as my own life. If you die, Kathy. If you die, there will be no peace for me. Ever. God,

[Ellen (Servant)]

I want path to escape.

[Heathcliff]

Why did you betray your heart, Kathy?

[Narrator/Announcer]

You killed yourself. No. I'll not comfort you. You deserve this.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Don't break my heart.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I never broke your heart, Kathy. You broke it in my tears. I don't love you, Kathy. They blight and they damn you. You loved me.

[Ellen (Servant)]

What right.

[Narrator/Announcer]

What right had you to throw away

[Heathcliff]

my love for that.

[Narrator/Announcer]

That poor fancy thing you felt for him?

[Heathcliff]

I found out he's misery and death

[Narrator/Announcer]

and all evil could have never parted us.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Kathy.

[Narrator/Announcer]

You did that alone. You wandered off like a greedy child to break your own heart and mine.

[Ellen (Servant)]

I know you. Oh, Catherine.

[Heathcliff]

Oh, my Katherine. I do forgive you. I love you. I love my murderer.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Carry me to the window. And they look at the Morris. The dear one. Oh, my darling. Just hunt more.

[Heathcliff]

It's my kind of yes.

[Ellen (Servant)]

How lovely this kind looks over there. It's our castle, remember? I'll never forget Castle Houston. I'll be waiting there till you come. I'll be waiting there until you come.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

J. They're coming, Master. At me.

[Ellen (Servant)]

But heaven can go.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

And you, Kathy,

[Heathcliff]

you are dead. My Kathy. May your soul hear this before I go.

[Narrator/Announcer]

May you not rest so long as I live on.

[Heathcliff]

I kill you, Cathy. Then haunt me.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Be with me always. Haunt me. Only don't leave me where I cannot find you.

[Heathcliff]

I cannot live without my life. I cannot live without my soul.

[Ellen (Servant)]

And though that was 20 years ago, I can still hear and see that wild hour with poor Heathcliff holding the dead body of beloved. Trying to tear away the veil of life and death. Crying out to Cathy's soul to haunt and torment him until he died.

[Heathcliff]

Then the strange voice that I heard was Cathy. And Heathcliff went to follow her into the storm.

[Ellen (Servant)]

It wasn't Cassie herself, but her love. Cassie's love, stronger than kind, stopping for its unlisted. Who's there?

[Narrator/Announcer]

It's Dr. Kenneth. Open the door.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Dr. Kenneth. What's the matter?

[Narrator/Announcer]

I was just crossing the moor on my way home.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Did you see him, mister?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yes. I saw him from my carriage. He was wandering through the snow with a woman.

[Ellen (Servant)]

A woman?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yes. They were walking through the storm with their arms about each other. I started toward them. I was nearly up to them when of a sudden my horse reared and plunged. And then. Then I found him alone, lying in the snow.

[Heathcliff]

Heathcliff was dead.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Dead by the castle. By the Pennistone Crag.

[Heathcliff]

Yes. However did you know?

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Look down, my Hesker. This is really our castle now. And I will always be your queen. Remember, Hester, your father was an emperor of China and your mother a queen of India. We have our castle now, Houston. And our love. Now and forever.

[Narrator/Announcer]

In a moment, our stars will return and Mr. Cummings will present his movie preview of the week. Thank you, Merv Oberon and Cameron Mitchell, for making Wuthering Heights even more memorable by your fine performance. And now, may I introduce the great producer of motion pictures, an outstanding artist, gentleman and showman, Mr. Samuel Goldwin.

[Heathcliff]

Thank you, Irving. I thoroughly enjoy the show. And Merle dear, you were just wonderful.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Thank you, Sam.

[Heathcliff]

Listening to you took me back to the time we did the picture together. Your performance and I were just as great as it was then. And thank you, Cameron Mitchell for doing such a fine heat fit. Thank you. Wuthering Heights is still a great love story. The greatest ever called leather screen Certainly is. Mr. Golden, why don't you bring back Wuthering Heights? There are so many people who would like to see it. I expect to do.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Bring it back, Sam. People are always asking me when they

[Ellen (Servant)]

can see it again.

[Narrator/Announcer]

And to see beautiful Mer Oberon in her lovely luxe complexion.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

It is a luxe complexion, Irving. I was introduced to Lux when I first came here from England. And it's been my favorite toilet soap ever since.

[Heathcliff]

Now that we're on the subject of dolls, what are you going to bring out? Guys and Dogs sometime next year. I'm preparing him now and expect to start photographing early next year.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

Guys and Dogs is one of the biggest hits on Broadway of the past few seasons.

[Ellen (Servant)]

The rights to film it must have cost a lot.

[Narrator/Announcer]

I understand you paid over a million dollars for the picture rights.

[Heathcliff]

That's right, I did.

[Narrator/Announcer]

No wonder you're so careful with the casting.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

You certainly made an excellent choice in casting Marlon Brando as Kai Masterson.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Will Marlon sing and dance?

[Heathcliff]

He will the first time musical. But Marlin can do anything for my money.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

And for mine. I just finished making a picture with

[Ellen (Servant)]

him and he's wonderful.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

I'm also interested in the girls rooms. Don't you have anyone in mind for Ms. Adelaide?

[Heathcliff]

Sam, I've made a decision and I'm sure the public will delight it at my choice. And for your information, she'll have a lovely luxe complexion. How about the part of Nathan Detroit? That's perhaps to remain a secret for a while.

[Narrator/Announcer]

Well, I know the picture will be done as only Sam Goldwyn can do it. In a way that has always set such a high standard for all Hollywood to follow.

[Heathcliff]

Now. Thank you, Irving. Now tell me, are you continuing with your high standard next week and presenting another great motion picture?

[Narrator/Announcer]

Yes, Anne. It's one of Warner Brothers finest pictures of last season. Edna Thurber's great novel. So big. And as our stars we will have one of the most accomplished artists in Hollywood. Ida Lupino. Co starring with one of our most handsome leading men, Robert Stack.

[Cathy (Catherine Earnshaw)]

That should be a wonderful show.

[Ellen (Servant)]

Good night.

[Heathcliff]

Good night. It certainly will.

[Grainger Announcer]

Good night.
