Too marvelous for words. Thank you very much. Moving along from right to wrong, meet Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy. Ventriloquist Edgar Bergen brings his top headed dummy, Charlie McCarthy and speaks for both. But when Edgar speaks for Charlie, his own lips never move and you'd swear that the words are coming out of Charlie's mouth. Since the first appearance on the Rudy Valley Hour just a few months ago, Edgar and Charlie have zoomed to the top of the heap in the field of comedy. So, Mr. Edgar Bergen. Speak for yourself. Thank you, Don, that was very nice. Didn't you like it, Charlie? Well, yes. No, I still miss Rudy Valli. I don't know, just not happy, that's all. Not happy in Hollywood? No, Mr. Bergen. My body may be in Hollywood, but my soul is still in Radio City. Well, after you've been here a while and met everybody, Charlie, you'll soon learn to like Hollywood. Uh huh. Mr. Michi, how long have you been here? Oh, just about a year, I guess. Uh huh. What do you do, Charlie? No, don't you know, Charlie? Don is in pictures. Oh, is he really? Yes. Fascinating work that extra business, isn't it? Don Ameche's a star, remember? You saw him in One in a Million. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, of course, of course, yes. Which one was he? Why, he was Sonja Henny's leading man. Oh, Sonya. Henny. Wild skater, huh? Yes, Charlie, she's positively lovely. Yeah. Well, if you're so positive about it, you don't happen to know her phone number? You certainly overrate yourself, young man. Oh, I don't know about that. I did pretty well with the stewardess on the airplane coming out here. Oh, yeah. Such service served me lunch and she talked to me and she slapped my face. And you certainly deserved it too, young man. Yes, Such conduct on the plane. It was shameful. What did I do that was wrong? What did I do? Name five things. In the first place, what in the world possessed you to go back there in the washroom and drop pop bottles out of the airplane? All that? Yes. I was playing Bomber. Bomber. And then you talk to the pilot. Yeah, but why? I don't know why. They serve at lunch in those paper cups and those paper dishes. Oh, well, I. To save weight. Oh, was that so? Yes. Every pound counts. Oh, that's it. Yes. Is that why they made the hand towel so small too? Oh, I didn't think the hand towels were so small. Well, they were so small, I was almost ashamed to put them in my suitcase. Well, now. Well, I'm really ashamed of you, Charlie. Are you really? Yes. Don't you ever stop to regret your actions? Oh, I'm too busy thinking what to do next. Anyway, we got here, didn't we? Yes, that's the important thing. Now, I suggest that tomorrow we should visit the studios or go fishing. Oh, no, I'm sorry, but tomorrow I have to look for a house in the suburbs. Oh, do you? Yes. And then, of course, comes the servant problem. Oh, just that. Well, if you get stuck for a butler, remember, I'm trained. That's right. Yes. You rehearsed me, remember to go as Rudy Valli's valley. That's right. And if I remember correctly, you were a terrible mess at it. Oh, I wouldn't say that. I remember everything you told me. You do? Mm. I see. I'd be glad to help you out temporarily. And besides, I can use the cash. Well, I'm not sure that I can use you. Well, I'm sure sure I can use the cash. Well, I believe in letting a boy work for his money. Yes, you've proven that. Yes. And I will consider you. Yeah? Yes. But remember, Charlie, always efficiency. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And always courtesy. Oh, definitely, milord. Yes. And the name will be Bertram. Good old Bertram. Yes. And. Or is it no time? Must there be any insolence? Oh, thanks to Font, me lord. Oh, You. And remember, Charlie, Thursday I rest. Quite so. I see no visitors on Thursday. Oh, don't you? No. Thursday is my not at home day. Your not at home day? That's right. Where do you go? I stay at home. You stay? Oh, that's marvelous. Marvelous. A bit sneaky, eh, Wat? Yeah. Now the thing is, if someone comes to the door, what do you say? We don't need any. No, no, no, no. I mean, suppose a friend of mine, for example. Suppose lord sithersby of England should come and call on me. Yeah? Yes. What do you say? Is it Thursday? Yes, Thursday. Uh. Oh, no go. No go. I give him the buns. Rush. No, no, no, no, no. You must.

And Donna Michi as Tony, popular actor husband who fears he is losing her love. Tony decides to test Marie. Disguised as a Russian guardsman, he makes love to her. He confides his plan to their old friend, Dr. Bernard. And now we find Tony dressed as the guardsman, alone in his own living room with Dr. Bernard. It's not so easy, Tony, to play a part and fool your own wife. Either I'm a good actor or I'm not. And if I can act for money and for fame, why can't I do it to test the love of my own wife? Well, I must admit. The guardsman's uniform becomes your. Any woman would find it hard to resist you. But she has resisted me, Bernard, Once this afternoon. I was afraid she wouldn't. But to see your conquer feeling for this guardsman. Crush it. That means more than happiness, dear friend. That means peace of mind. Then she is true to you? There is no doubt of it. And a woman who can be true to her husband when I am the lover, will be true always. But what did you do about Olmutz? Didn't you tell her you were playing three performances there? Oh, I sent a wire and called it off, but she thinks I'm there. I actually left for the train and rushed next door, put on this uniform, mustache, wig, and presented myself for tea. Prince Vasily Samsonov. You sound very convincing with that accent. Not for nothing, Bernard, did I want to visit Russia. Dr. Bernard is a. He's a law. That is nice of him. Bernard, what do you think of my conquest of a nice little. Well, what else can one expect when you are the lady. Oh, forgive me. This is Prince Vasili samson of Prince Dr. Bernard. I have been most correct in my behavior so far. And therefore the presence of this doctor. Doctor. Dr. Bernard. Dr. Bernard will not prevent me from saying before him as a witness that there is nothing I would not do, nothing I would not sacrifice. If you. If I. You know what I would say. Oh, I know, I know. But I want to hear you say it. What do you want to hear? I want to hear the end of that long sentence. I want to hear you say you love me. Oh, great heavens, Bernard, he doesn't understand. Bernard, look at him. He's no beauty, but at last, at last, a man who has no ringing voice. A man who, thank heaven, is neither intelligent nor brilliant nor Melancholy nor sentimental. Bernard. This simple, honest, stupid. Come see. He doesn't even know how to behave. But dear old friend. At last, after all these years are man. Yes. But now, with my congratulations. May I leave you? Must you? I must. I really must. I only stopped in to make sure that you were not too lonely. You'll forgive me, friend? Most certainly, friend. Do you realize what life is has done to us? I do not know what is happening to me. And you do not know what is happening to me. You should have known I would burn with a great flame. Once you set me alight. Now you are afraid I am mad. My happiness has turned my head. I do love you, do love me. I love you. I adore you. I worship you. Are you as happy as I? I am unspeakably happy. And I am going to kiss you. When shall I see you again? Tomorrow. Tomorrow at five. Tomorrow at five. Lisa, I shall want tea for two in glasses. Russian tea. Yes, ma'am. I'm not at home. I shan't be back all afternoon. Yes, ma'am. Of course. When the prince comes, Liesel, you'll let him in. Yes, ma'am. Oh, it's you, sir. What? All alone, my love? Oh. Oh, it's you, Tony. What brought you back so soon? What's that? I returned two whole days early. And all you have to say is what's brought you back so soon? All your greetings. I'm interested to know why you played only one of your three performances in Allmut. Perfectly simple, my dear. This morning I received a telegram from our own theater. Saying that Krauss was ill. And that they would put on Hamlet. You know perfectly well that when I play Hamlet. There isn't even standing room. So. I know, I know. Spare me the rest of the press notices. Well, in short, here I am with my sweet little wife. And what did you do with yourself all last evening? Nothing. Oh. Weren't you bored doing nothing? No. You didn't go anywhere? No. I thought you were going to the opera. Yes. How silly of me. Of course, I quite forgot. I did go alone. Of course. No one was there with you? No one. Oh, if I tell you I was alone. I was alone, of course. But someone mentioned something about a soldier. A guardsman. Guardsman. Guardsman. What do you mean? You were in box number four first. Here. Oh, I see. You pay someone 10 gulden to spy on me. 20 gulden, possibly. Throwing your money away. Very well. That was where I sat. But you didn't exactly sit in the box. You spent the greater part of the evening in the anteroom with the guardsmen. That is not true. Mrs. Spangler, the usher says it is. Mrs. Spangler. The usher is lying. All right, I'll send for her. Just a moment. Is this a joke? Oh no, this is not a joke. And you really seriously think that while you were away working for me that I was entertaining so that I, who gave up her freedom, her whole life for your sake. But while you were away I should be entertaining souls? For heaven's sake, don't get so excited. How could you do that to me? Oh, my dear, this has really gone to. Don't stand it any longer. No. I feel all is over between us. All is. Oh, Marie, Marie, now don't say such things. You know how madly I love me. But you suspect me. No, I do not suspect you. You believe lies about you. No, no, no, no, I don't believe anything wrong about you. You're not saying that because you really believe. No, I'm going away. I'm not. Marie, Marie, not. Listen, you can't go. Darling, what would I do without you? I should die. You really mean it from your very, very heart that you don't believe those malicious lies? Of course I don't believe them, I swear it. You love and trust me. I love you and trust you. It was all lies and slander. It was all lies and slander. Oh, my darling, how I must love you to be able to forgive this. But I do forgive your. I shall love only you, darling, forever and ever. And you believe in me? I believe in you. Oh, please forgive me. I'm. I'm so, so in love with you that. Why are you crying? Oh, I can only tell you why I'm crying. Oh, now, now, now, my sweet. Now don't, don't cry anymore, please. Now you rest while I go and change my clothes. If you men only understood your wives, you'd go away and leave me alone for a while. I'm so nervous after this dreadful scene. I'm a wreck. Very well, my love. To show you how considered I am of your nerves. I'll go as soon as I change. My Tony. What is taking you so long? I thought you were going out. I'm ready now, precisely five o'clock. His Majesty himself could not be more punctual. Oh, good afternoon, Prince. I began to think you weren't coming. Really? What does all this mean? Are you trying out a part? Are you acting? No, darling, you're doing the acting. You're even in costume. Yes, I am. And I hope you realize and instead of begging my forgiveness now that you're exposed, instead of realizing that the moment has come when even your lies are of no avail. You were. You were. What does this mean? Doesn't this guardsman's costume make everything clear? Yes, dear. Well, then, what are you doing? What am I doing? I'm going on with our little comedy from where we left off last night. Comedy? I've been playing for your sake since yesterday afternoon. If you wish, we can keep it up, but I really think we've had enough of it by now. You mean. You mean you've been acting ever since yesterday afternoon? Of course I've been acting. Do you think for a moment that you could fool me, your own wife, just by dressing up in that ridiculous costume and putting on the third whiskers? What? I knew you all the time. I don't believe it. But why not? You trust yourself to play a difficult part well enough to deceive even me. And yet you don't think I can play a much easier one. Though my acting ability is fully equal to yours. Oh, now. Better? Possibly. Now, let's not go into that. We are not discussing my act. Oh, I was. We are. If you can play the godsman well enough to fool me, why couldn't I play the woman who believed in the guardsmen well enough to fool you? Because I simply could not be recognized, whatever you may say. Oh, you couldn't disguise your kiss. It was so entirely your own. Impossible not to recognize it. Yes. I was afraid you recognized my kiss. And then your eyes. What was it I told you the day that you first told me you loved me? What was it I told you about your eyes. Let's see. Look in my eyes. Sweet, warm, sad look that betrayed me. Yes. You're looking at me like that now. Well, I don't want to. Oh, but you are. And I am to believe that you recognized me the very first minute? The very first minute. Well, then why didn't you tell me from the beginning? Because I wanted you to play the comedy out to the end. I didn't think you lacked the courage to go through with it. Then you do love me. You'll never put me to the test again? Never again. And you love me? Oh, I am so in love with you, darling. Why are you crying now? Oh, I can only tell you why I'm crying for Ms. Harding and myself. Thank you.

I have the very great pleasure now of welcoming back to good health and into last circulation our friend W.C. fields, who makes his first appearance into serious illness which kept him off the stage and out of pictures for over a year. And now he returns, fully recovered to say hello, W.C. field. Well, Mr. Fields, I'm sure you'll feed at home because here's your old folly. Piano player Werner Janssen. Oh, yes. Hi, Jackson. I've known Werner Jackson for quite a spell, Mr. Fields. The name is Jansen. Werner Janssen. Oh yeah, that's right, Jansen. Yeah. Hi, Werner. Cute little fell, isn't it? How's everything, Mr. Fields? That. That's Charlie McCarthy. Oh, yeah, so it is. How are you, Charlie? How do you do, Mr. Fields? How's it? He's put on quite a little weight since I saw him last. Now, miss. Mr. Fields, listen, will you tell us about the accident that started your illness? Oh, yes, yeah. Half attack. You are Mr. Bergen, aren't you? No, no, no, Mr. Fields, that's Ms. Harding. Oh, yes, I see. Yes, I know Ms. Harding very well. How's your partner, Ms. Laurel? No, no, no, no, Mr. Fields, you're confused with Laurel and Hardy. Oh, yeah, how silly. I. May I Beg your pardon, Mr. Laurel. Mr. Fields, listen, everybody is impatiently waiting to hear about your recovery. Now, if you'll kindly. Yes, yes, yes, certainly. Excuse me. Excuse me. Mr. Perkins? No, no, no. I'm Don Amece, remember? Oh, yes, yes. Remind me to ask the dummy a few questions after I said hello to the phone. Yeah. There. How old is Charlie McCarthy? He's 12 years old. 12 years old. How interesting. I wonder if a little leper will sing me a song. Yeah, I will if you give me $10. $10, eh? He's more than 12. Well, he's really older than he looks. You see, he was hewn out of an old oak tree. His face looks as though it's you. Not of a piece of sassafras root. How is that so, huh? Well, if they had to cut your face out of a piece of wood, they'd have to use redwood for a nose. And an ample bit of it too, I might say. You too, eh, Charlie? Charlie. All right, Mr. Fields. Now, about that serious illness of yours. Oh, yes, of course. I was pretty redwood for a nose. He's a pretty fresh little punk, isn't he? Redwood for a nose. You're full of termite. The guy is drunk. Take him away. Draw his flies. Don't care. I may be drunk, but I'll be sober tomorrow. And you'll still be full of termites. I'm glad to see you're looking so well, W.C. you don't mind if I call you W.C. do you? Oh, no, I guess not. It is a bit confusing, though. In Europe, royalty always referred to me as thee. Double. You say you know, John Amishi? I could call you Da, but the folks would think I was in trouble again. You know, from the reports I got, you surely have had your share of trouble. They said you were a death's door. Yes, I was. Yes, I was. Well, what did the doctors do? Oh, they did everything in their power to pull me through. Find a lot of boys, though. Medico, Redwood, Ferno. He's only 12, eh? What's he wearing a wig for? Now, now, look, look, W.C. i know you were very ill. But what I'd like to get at is just what really was the main trouble. I had a very stubborn case of Pernicious dandruff. Pernicious dandruff. Yeah. Well, isn't it a fact that you broke your neck? Oh, yes, I forgot all about that. I heard you were run over by an automobile. Can you imagine that little red pulling that crack? If they ever called my friend got a red one? Yeah, he was redwood for a nose. W.C. please, please. How did you come to break your neck? I didn't come to break my neck. I came to ride a bicycle. I should have stuck to my velocipede. You were riding a bicycle And a Paramount truck loaded with props. Please, please, don't mention any names. Just say, attention Truck. Oh, yeah, but it was a Paramount. Yes, I know, but this is the Chase and Sanborn program. Well, I could say it was a Chase and Sanborn truck. Yeah, that's fine, fine. Now. Now, go on. But if you want to know the truth, it really was a Paramount tr. I'm sorry I mentioned it. Now, go on. Well, anyway, a truck. Yeah, a truck owned by Paramount. Please, Mr. Fields, will you please go on? You keep interfering all the time. A Paramount truck backed over me and broke my neck. Could I say, a Paramount truck loaded with case and Sanborn coffee. Would that be all right? You imagine that little rat. Redwood for a nose. Now, I didn't like that ample bit of it too. Wonder how I'd like to have my nose filled with nickels. Wouldn't mind that, would he? Now, Mr. Fields, you've told us the truck ran over you and you broke your neck. Now, please forget all about Charlie. What happened next? Well, it took me to a hospital. You were in the hospital for quite a siege, weren't you? 10 weeks. Of course, you had a pretty nurse. The one I had had false teeth and a glass eye. But I suppose you would say she was pretty and she was gentle as a mountain lion. And she weighed as much as a Paramount truck. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Don't say didn't wait. I filled with Chase and Sanborn coffee. All right. Well, what was the doctor's exact diagnosis of your ailment? Just a broken neck. No, the croakers said I had Mogo on the go. Go. Or what is known to medical science as Ralph Hidalgo. What does that all add up to in English? A broken neck coupled with a very stubborn case of pernicious dandruff. When you got home, something else happened, didn't it? I was ingurgitating an invigorating stimulant that I call red milk. Then I slipped down a flight of stairs. Yeah, well, what was the breakage in that non stop flight? I fractured the southernmost portion of my spinal column and to my great dismay I discovered I'd spilled half of the tasty nectar. Can you imagine that little rat. Redwood for a nose. Don't let him get away. Why didn't hold him? Yeah. Now, after. After your three point landing, what. What did they do? Oh, they refilled my glass and off we went to the hospital. Clang, clang. Twang. What is this sound I hear? Wait a minute, wait a minute. The ambulance is coming. The sirens ringing. Yeah, but W.C. now wait. Wait until these people. Pretty nurses laughing. W.C. wait a minute. What if the breathing pan. Wait a minute. Just bring the stretches out. W.C. now, wait a minute. Is brandishing their sharp knives. W.C. will you wait a minute, please? Say, I wrote most of that myself. Pretty good, I think. Where were we? I don't know where you are, but there I was in my same beloved cot back in the hospital. Yeah, you weren't out of the hospital long, were you? Just long enough to drink my lunch. And then. And then redwood furnose. I'll take Baby Leroy in preference to him anytime. And he's no bartender. Oh, come, come on, Mr. Fields. Forgive and forget. I seem to recall that in Papa you had yourself another accident. Yes. Whilst convorting in Poppy, I was again compelled to venture on a high bicycle. I instructed the boys to catch me in case I fell off. And did they catch you? Yes, on the first. What is the sound I hear? The ambulance is coming. So you were off to the hospital for another 10 weeks? Yes, and this time I enjoyed my convalescence. Having a nervous breakdown for 10 weeks? No, the run was curtailed on account of my developing low bar pneumonia. They put me in an oxygen tent. I thought I was camping, but. What do you mean? After I played three weeks of Fields the Campfire Girl, I returned to play out my open two weeks of nervous breakdown. And what next? A full tendon, broken left foot, Paget's disease, double vision, infected cold or nervous breakdown. They came so fast and furious it was difficult to distinguish them from perfect hell. I had mif. And Tip and Buffindil. What? Oh, don't ask me what they are. And a slip sacroiliac. A slip what? Sacroiliac. S a C R O hyphen. You're on your own from there on. Well, the. The doctors cured you of everything, didn't they? Yes, everything but that stubborn case of Phoenicia. Sandra. It was ferocious. Ratty. Clang, clang. Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang. Thank you. Thank you very, very much. In the picture 50 roads to town, Anne Southern and I did a little song that's been haunting me. And they say the best way to get a haunting song out of your dreams is to sing it at people. So I'm singing this one at you. Never in a million years could there be another you. I would shed a million tears if ever we were true. Never in a million moons could you ever be surprised and darling for a million Junes this love of how we lay. There would be no world for me if ever we would part where I go, your name will be right on the tip of my heart. For only once in every light time someone just like you appear. Is there any greater glory, any greater thrill no, never in a million years. There would be no world for me if ever we would part where I go, your name will be right on the tip of my heart Her. For only once in every lifetime Someone just like you appear. Is there any greater glory, any greater stream. No, never in a league your. No, never in a million. Never in a million years.

Ever since the first Garrett Garrity's down to their latest Broadway hit, Babe Legs and Arms, there's been a pungent freshness in everything they write. Their most novel musical work is the stirring All Points West. Currently they are writing the new Mervyn leroy production, starring Fernand Gravy and Ethel Merman. Say, Larry, which comes first in writing a song? The words or the music? Well, Dick, how do we usually answer that question? It can happen either way. It usually happens neither way. We usually start with a title. Title? With an idea. Then I write a tune to it. I write a lyric to the tune and there we are. Yeah, well, there you are. But where am I? We're still trying to find out which came first, the chicken or the egg. Well, maybe you better ask a couple of other roosters. Now, about All Points West. Whose idea was that? Well, a fellow named Paul Wyffen is holding a modern music concert which he combined his orchestra with a Philadelphia symphony and he was putting on a series of musical stunts. Take it away, Dick. Until he asked us to do something special for his concert. I racked my brain. Larry racked his brain. You see, Donna, Chef's a racket. Yeah. We tried to get the most characteristic American sound. We settled on a train announcement. From this idea came All Points West, a combination tone poem, oratorio and one act play. Sometimes it sings, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes it rhymes, sometimes it doesn't. And how did you discover Ray Middleton to sing it? Oh, we can't take credit for that. No, Ray was suggested. We showed him the manuscript, he proceeded to read it and sing it off as if he'd rehearsed it a thousand times. And if you know all points west, that's almost a miracle. And we're delighted he's doing it tonight. And so are we. Ray Middleton in All Points west by Rogers and hart, leaving track 33 at 11:27, the Great Lakes Express bound for Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo, Erie, Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Kalamazoo and All Points where? Clear enough, ain't it? Don't stand too near the mic. That's the secret. Remember when we used to call em through megaphones? Had the yellow lungs out. Now it's easy. See that salesman with his sample cases and his wife? She's kissing him goodbye. A long Long trip. He's whispering in his ear he promises oh, yes, he'll be true oh, yes, he'll be true. Ha ha. Yourself and get around must be marvelous. Home is where your satchel is and fun on the train. Fun on the train I never get in em. There's a mother saying goodbye to her boy. Go west, young man. She's crying. They always cry. You'll be going to get a job out there. They say there's lots of jobs for any young man out west. I ain't so young anymore, but I'd love to go where the breeze smells fine from the sage and pine and the sun turns rock into gold. I have heard when you ride on a prairie so wide you forget that a man can broaden for the Rockies rise to the sunburned skies and the world opens up like a pan. But for me there is dust, there is dirt, there is rust. While you go west, young man. While you go west, young man. Look at those doughboys. You ask where those rookies are going. Plattsburgh, where the camp is. That's where they train. They line a muscle each morning and boy they got to shine. Each button must be buttoned before they get in line. The drum starts in drumming, the bugles start to blare with uniforms. A gleaming and nose is in the air and hoses in the air. At night they clear and smoking and maybe chew him crap. They sit together joking until it's time for taps. What a life. I'm never get anywhere. Number 42 for Boston. Yes, miss. Leaves right away on track seven. College girls. Ada. Ain't they pretty? Finishing school, they call it. They used to call them flappers. Now they're dead. How young they are. How sweet they are. How clean they are. How fresh and beautiful. Their hands are soft, their eyes are bright. At night they sleep and lean their hearts away. Life is a dance to them. It makes me feel. Leaving track 17 at 12:10, the Honeymoon Express bound for Harmon, Ostening, Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and all points where. Look at that guy. No honeymoon for him. Poor guy. He's handcuffed to a cop. Yep. A burglar, maybe. A killer. No Niagara Falls for him. He'll get as far as Ossining. Up the river, maybe. For keeps. How mad he looks. What's he mad about? At least he's going somewhere. There's a honeymoon couple with all their friends and relations. Rice. They're throwing an old shoe. Hands to hold, fun sights to see. They've got the world, the world is free. Spinning through the night with his pretty, bright and happy groom Goodbye. What's that yelling? What's that crowd? Police whistles. The crook. The prisoner broke away. Look at the cops. They got him. No, they didn't. Look. I hope he makes it. Look out. Look out. There's a cop behind that post. He's got his sweep. He got away. Hurry, hurry. Cop's got his gun out. Don't shoot. Don't shoot. You fool. You will hit someone. Oh, you fool. Why me? Here, here. I'm going gone on track seven at 12 oh, sight to see, to see, to go I'm going somewhere now oh, I leave a blast on a train that fast and the whistle is starting to blow now the track is all clear and the chief engineer there's all points west Let go. There's all pines west LA There always must be an au revoir and I'm saying it now for our guests, Ann Harding and Rogerson Hart. For Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy. I'll be back next Sunday.
