Spinquest is a free to play social casino void where prohibited. Visit spinquest.com for more details. Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theater brings you Olivia de Havilland and Paul Lucas in Appointment for Love. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. In motion pictures a straight line is not always the shortest distance between two points. Take the case of Paul Lucas. After making 10 or 12 pictures for 10 or 12 years here in Hollywood, he was suddenly discovered all over again on Broadway. Watch on the Rhine was the play that turned the trick. When Mr. Lucas played that same part on the screen for Warner Brothers, the result was the Academy Award. Tonight he's here in the Lux Radio Theatre to co star with the talented Olivia de Havilland who finished high school and began starring in pictures in almost the same breath. She's been making the screen look lovelier ever since and just recently has added a brighter note to the scenery in the Aleutian Islands of which more later tonight we've cast these stars in Universals gay romance Appointment for Love. The appointment in this instance is between a famous playwright and a woman doctor whose career puts a few rocks in the road to romance. In these days the audience for one of our plays just about covers the globe and many of the men in khaki and blue who used to join us at home now join us overseas. Many of them are also self appointed ambassadors for such comforts of home as Lux Flakes. A photograph has just come in showing a sergeant in the midst of doing his washing somewhere in Australia. The washtub is steaming away over a small wood fire. There are tents in the background under a grove of eucalyptus trees. I've never heard very many soldiers celebrate the joys of washing clothes. But the sergeant in the photograph is grinning broadly. Perhaps the reason is right there beside the washtub a familiar looking box of luxe flakes. And now the familiar moment of curtain going up and the first act of Appointment for Love starring Olivia de Havilland as Jane and Paul Lucas as Andre. The curtain has fallen in the Hyperion Theater. The exit march is claimed but the audience will not leave. I'm Asking. Crowded in the aisles, New York's first nighters are clamoring for the author, Andre Castile. But one of the first nighters is not taking part in the demonstration. That young lady there in the second row. Through all the noise and confusion, she remains strangely calm. As a matter of fact, she's fast asleep. She is still dozing peacefully when Mr. Castile makes his entrance on the stage and holds up his hand for silence. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. I hope that you don't expect me to say anything or do anything very clever. An artist's position in playmaking is. Oh, Hastings, see if there's a doctor in the house. That girl in the second row has fainted. Excuse me. Please. Just let me through, please. Please. I'll take care of her. Is the young lady with you, madam?
Dr. Jane Alexander
No, she isn't.
Andre Cassil
She seems to be all alone. Oh, please, she needs air. Stand back, please. Is there a doctor in the house?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, did somebody call the doctor?
Andre Cassil
Don't worry now, young lady. You are going to be all right.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, but you see.
Andre Cassil
Is this your purse? I'll take it. Now, just relax.
Dr. Jane Alexander
What are you doing?
Andre Cassil
I'm going to carry you. Up you go now. You'll feel better outside.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, thank you. Well, maybe I will.
Andre Cassil
Boy, have you found a doctor yet?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes, sir.
Andre Cassil
The box office says it's a Dr. Alexander in seat 108. Dr. Alexander. Dr. Alexander.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Wait, please. I'm Dr. Alexander.
Andre Cassil
You. You. You are who?
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm Dr. Alexander. So you can put me down, please.
Andre Cassil
Don't be silly. You are ill. You fainted.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Now, don't you be silly. I never fainted in my life.
Andre Cassil
But I saw you faint.
Dr. Jane Alexander
No, you saw me sleeping.
Andre Cassil
Sleeping?
Dr. Jane Alexander
I couldn't keep my eyes open, and I couldn't get out. And when you picked me up, I didn't want to make a scene.
Andre Cassil
Oh, so you fell asleep at my place?
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm afraid I did. Do you mind?
Andre Cassil
My play is no good.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Terrible. Now, will you put me down?
Andre Cassil
Gladly. And good night.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Good night.
Andre Cassil
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you for liking my play so much, But I must confess that the young lady who painted did not faint. She was asleep.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, I adore your party, Andre. And I adored your play tonight.
Andre Cassil
Oh, no, thank you, Ethel.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Andre, don't you remember me? My name is Edith.
Andre Cassil
Oh, well. Well, thank you, Edith, then. Mr. Castile, you're wanted on the phone, sir. Ms. Benson calling from Chicago. Oh, Nancy, let me have it. Hello, Nancy. Andrew. Yes, Nancy. Of course. I missed you. Oh, yes, yes, they liked it. Some of them. What? Why, of course you are going to be my next play. Here, darling, I'll let you talk to Hastings. George, take this. Is Nancy Benson? Oh, sure. Hello, Nancy. How are you? Huh? The next play. Wait a minute. Did you promise her a partner? Next one. No, no. Hello, Nancy. Why, we'd love to have you. Andre's tried to sell me the idea of you doing the part a dozen times. We'll talk about it. Goodbye, love. You still stuck on that girl, Dream boat? No, no, no more Finny. Finny. She wouldn't be bad. No, but it wouldn't be good either. Anyway, I've got another idea. Pretty one. Ah, beautiful. There's a young lady to see you, Mr. Castile. Oh, excuse me. Ge. Good evening. Oh, hello.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Hello. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your party, but you picked up my purse and my keys were in.
Andre Cassil
Hello, Castille. Beautiful play. Beautiful. Wrote a wonderful review. Great phrase. I hate to disagree with such a fine critic, but you've been taken in again, old man. The best play you've ever written, Andre. Perhaps, but it's still not very good. Now, poke your fingers into any of my characters. And what would you find, doctor?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, I'm sure I don't know.
Andre Cassil
I will tell you. Saw that. Just saw that.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm afraid that's true. Now, my king.
Andre Cassil
Now you also agree that my situations are phony and unbelievable.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I agree absolutely. Now if you.
Andre Cassil
You are not just agreeing to be polite?
Dr. Jane Alexander
No, I'm not. I'm agreeing because I agree completely. The people in your play were unreasonable, illogical.
Andre Cassil
They were in love. And love is an unreasonable and illogical emotion.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm sorry, but love is very logical. You can prove it in a laboratory. It's a chemical attraction based on a law governing affinity. Put two objects with affinity in a test tube and they merge through attraction. It's the simplest of all formulae.
Andre Cassil
That's very scientific, I'm sure.
Dr. Jane Alexander
But all you do is just add a little rose colored romance and cloud up what's really happening. Now, if you don't mind, I'll take my keys and go home.
Andre Cassil
Oh, no, no, no. I want to talk to you. You are the only person who knows the truth about my plate. Except myself, of course.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, Mr. Cassille, you're the worst kind of a faker. You like your plate. You think they're wonderful. My purse, please. Good night.
Andre Cassil
Ah. Hey, dreamboat. Wasn't that the babe who fainted in the theater? She's no babe. She's a doctor. And you Know what the doctor thinks, Georgie? She thinks that love is something you make in a test tub.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Doctor Alexander's office. No, Dr. Gunther. She isn't here just now. Yes, sir. I'll tell him. Morning, Nora. Oh, Dr. Alexander. Dr. Gunther just called. He wants to see you about that strep case. And there's a new patient in your office. Thanks.
Andre Cassil
Hello, Doctor. Well, well, here I am. I came to see you do it.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Do what?
Andre Cassil
Make love With a test tube. You know, you said you put in two people and.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Mr. Castile, I'm very busy, and we're not allowed to have social calls here at the hospital.
Andre Cassil
Oh. Oh, this is not a social call, Dr. Alexander. I. I didn't sleep one wink all night thinking about what you told me.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Dr. Alexander, Dr. Gunther's here. Oh.
Andre Cassil
May I come in, Doctor?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Certainly. This is Dr. Gunther, our chief of staff, Mr. Andre Cassil.
Andre Cassil
How do you do? How are you, Mr. Cassil? I never felt better in my life. Well, that is, until last night. Yes, last night I just went to pieces. What seems to be the trouble, Mr. Cassiel? I believe it's my heart, Doctor. I see. You don't mind if I watch your examination of the patient, Dr. Alexander?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Why, no, not at all. But I think probably Mr. Cassio would rather come back when he has more time.
Andre Cassil
Oh, no, no. Might just as well get it over with while I'm here.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Let me feel your pulse, please.
Andre Cassil
Dr. Alexander is my assistant. I like to watch these young ones sometimes. They can teach us old fellows a thing or two. You say you're having a little trouble with your heart, eh? Yes, Doctor.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I think probably it's occupational disease. He probably overworks it.
Andre Cassil
I've seen many of your plays, Mr. Cassil. Very interesting. Thank you, sir.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Will you take off your coat, please?
Andre Cassil
Oh, yes, yes, my coat.
Dr. Jane Alexander
And open your shirt.
Andre Cassil
Shirt? What for?
Dr. Jane Alexander
I want to listen to your heart.
Andre Cassil
Oh, I'm sure I'm going to feel much better, Doctor.
Dr. Jane Alexander
No talking, please.
Andre Cassil
Oh, I'm sorry.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Stethoscope, nurse. Yes, Doctor? Quiet now.
Andre Cassil
Certainly. Oh, it's so cold.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Please, no talking. Hmm. Very unusual.
Andre Cassil
Really? What does it sound like?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, I'd say offhand it's.
Andre Cassil
Oh, really?
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm afraid so.
Andre Cassil
Did you hear anything good? Do you drink very much, Mr. Cassil? Oh, no, no. A little wine, sometimes a little Brandy and whiskey. Dr. Alexander may have to stop all that.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Dr. Alexander certainly will. Oh. How much sleep do you average, Mr. Castle?
Andre Cassil
Not very much at night, but quite a bit in the morning.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Early evening hours are the best, aren't they, Dr. Gunther?
Andre Cassil
They certainly are.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Now, Mr. Cassio, will you jump up and down on one foot, please?
Andre Cassil
Certainly.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I really think that it's a matter of fatigue, Dr. Gunther.
Andre Cassil
Too much work, Too much play.
Dr. Jane Alexander
All right, you can stop that now. I want to listen again.
Andre Cassil
Now, this part I like very much.
Dr. Jane Alexander
No talking, please.
Andre Cassil
Oh, I'm sorry.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Hmm. Yes, Mr. Cassille? I would suggest that for the time being, you give up liquor, not play so hard and get more sleep. Later on, if it seems necessary, we'll have a thorough examination.
Andre Cassil
Oh, why not do it now, Doctor? If the patient is ready, I'm sure it would be better to do it all at once. Thank you, Dr. Gunther. You don't know how helpful you've been.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Will you step this way, please?
Andre Cassil
Of course. And I'll look at all your reports, Mr. Cassidy. Thank you. I'll drop by later, Dr. Alexander.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Very well, Doctor. I guess you're stuck with him, Doctor. We'll see who gets stuck. Give him the works. Everything. Everything. We'll start off by taking some blood from his arm for the lab. Yes, Doctor. Hand me a needle, please.
Andre Cassil
I'm waiting, Dr. Alexander.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm coming. Needle, Doctor. Thanks. All right, now, mister. Conceal your arm, please. Just hold it still.
Andre Cassil
Now, look, before we start, what about dinner tonight?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Steady, Mr. Castillo.
Andre Cassil
But what about.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh. Hello, office. This is Dr. Alexander calling. I have a patient who's been coming to my office every day for two weeks. His name is Cassil. Well, he's not to be allowed to come to my office again. He's cured? Yes. And if he insists, will you please have him shown to psychiatry? Thank you.
Andre Cassil
Of course, I know you don't like it, but you're having a good time.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I like to dance.
Andre Cassil
Is that all?
Dr. Jane Alexander
I used to dance a lot.
Andre Cassil
Really? That sounds very frivolous, but it proves I was right.
Dr. Jane Alexander
It doesn't prove a thing.
Andre Cassil
No?
Dr. Jane Alexander
No. Decidedly no.
Andre Cassil
Sure.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Look, we've been out now five or six times. We've dined, we've danced. Still, there are no rosy colored clouds.
Andre Cassil
Oh, it's too soon. But speaking of clouds, I have a place in the country I would like you to see. An old hunting lodge.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Is that where you write your plays?
Andre Cassil
Well, not exactly. It's too nice for work. So quiet and peaceful.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Sounds like an ideal place to write your claim.
Andre Cassil
And there's a waterfall. You can hear it from the house at night.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Sounds wonderful.
Andre Cassil
Will you come to see it sometime?
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm very busy. Doctors never get vacation.
Andre Cassil
Oh, Dr. Alexander. Call for you, Doctor. They want you at the hospital right away. Emergency.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, Andre, I'm terribly sorry. I always get emergencies when I'm having the most fun.
Andre Cassil
I'll go with you.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Certainly not. I might be hours. Goodbye, Andre. All right. Now, Nora, if you want me again tonight. Don't worry, we won't. And you've got to get some rest. You look all in. Don't you think someone ought to drive you home? No, I'll be all right. I'm just a little jumpy, that's all. Good night. Good night, Doc.
Andre Cassil
Jane.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Andre.

Dr. Jane Alexander
How did you know I wanted to see you waiting out here?
Andre Cassil
You said you with work very late and I was afraid you'd be tired.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, I am tired. But I never felt so wonderful in my whole life. They said she couldn't live, but you did. They both lived.
Andre Cassil
I never saw you look this way before.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I never felt like this before. I was going to call you and you were waiting right here.
Andre Cassil
I will always be waiting. Always.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, Andre. You know, I'm kind of surprised at myself. You don't mind my saying that this is something I I never thought I'd do, ever.
Andre Cassil
I'm very happy that you changed your mind, darling.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm not being silly about it, am I?
Andre Cassil
Oh, you are being very sweet. We'll be all alone at my hunting lodge.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Nobody will even know we're there, will they?
Andre Cassil
Nobody but the people who take care of the place. And you don't have to worry about them.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I still can't believe it. Mrs. Andre Castile. Oh, Andre, it sounds beautiful.
Andre Cassil
There's the wire, Martha. Arriving tonight. See you.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Think I'd better make up two rooms.
Andre Cassil
No, Martha. He says he's bringing his bride up here.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, it's about time Mr. Casseel settle down.
Andre Cassil
Well, I don't know. We had a lot of fun. Remember the time three girls showed up at once? He certainly played hide and seek that weekend.
Dr. Jane Alexander
You ought to think shame of yourself. You mean man.
Andre Cassil
The only way we could get him out of the house was to say he had to go to a fire. He wore my helmet and carried my axe.
Dr. Jane Alexander
He certainly looks silly, too. I wonder which one of them he marries.
Andre Cassil
Well, you know, I think I'd fancy the Benson girl. Yes, the Benson girl. That's the one. That is, if it was me that was doing it.
Dr. Jane Alexander
There they are.
Andre Cassil
Hello, Timothy. Hello, Mr. Castile.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Welcome home, Mr. Castile.
Andre Cassil
Hello, Martha. Congratulations to you, sir. And to you, too, ma'.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Am.
Andre Cassil
Thank you, Timothy. She's wonderful, but a little bit heavy.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Put me down, darling. Hello, Martha. Hello, Timothy. Welcome, Mrs. Cassil.
Andre Cassil
Well, this is a surprise. Quite a surprise, I must say. Well, Mr. Cassiel, you certainly did very well for yourself. Thank you, Timothy. Now, how about some wine? It's all ready, sir. You'll have it in two.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'll take some supper, Mr. Cassidy. Oh, what a nice house, Andre.
Andre Cassil
And what a nice wife to live in it. My wife? That sounds kind of new, but I suppose I get used to it. My wife.
Dr. Jane Alexander
My husband. Sounds new, too. Nice and new and. And warm.
Andre Cassil
Hello. Come on. I want to show you out of our waterfall. Who? There. You can see it from the window. Just a minute.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, it's Lovely, Andre.
Andre Cassil
Oh, Mr. Cassiel. Who is it, Timothy? Well, it's for you, sir. A certain party. Well, just tell him I'm not to be disturbed. I can't tell him that. And he's going to disturb you quite a lot. It's the old chief. What chief? Which chief do you mean? The old chief. Fire Chief Benson. Fire chief? What in the world would a. Oh. Fire Chief Benson. That's right. Fire Chief Benson. And he's very excited and he, he seems to be heading up this way.
Dr. Jane Alexander
What's he coming here for?
Andre Cassil
Oh, he drops in from time to time. We talk about fires. Everybody here belongs to the volunteer fire department. I'll speak to him.
Dr. Jane Alexander
You know, this sounds like fun.
Andre Cassil
Sometimes it is, ma', am, and sometimes it isn't.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Is there a fire now?
Andre Cassil
There's smoke, ma'.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Am.
Andre Cassil
Oh, yes. Quite a lot of smoke. Hello. How are you, Chief?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Hello, Pappy. What's going on up there? I just got in from New York tonight, Pappy. Come on down the stage.
Andre Cassil
Oh, no, no, no, no. I, I, I, I'd love to, Chief, but I'm on my honeymoon.
Dr. Jane Alexander
What? Whose honeymoon?
Andre Cassil
Mine. It's, it's nobody you know, Chief.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Will you stop calling me Chief? I'll be right up there, Pappy.
Andre Cassil
No, wait, Chief. Well, if that's the way you feel, I'll certainly do my duty. I'll be right down to the station. You can count on me.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I thought so. I'll be waiting. Naked, sappy Pappy.
Andre Cassil
Why, Chief? Well, I have to go. Is there a fire in the depot, sir? Oh, a very, very bad one. I'm sorry, Jane, but community duty, you know. I'll be back.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, come on, darling. I'll go with you.
Andre Cassil
No, no, no, no, no, no. They won't let women go. They wouldn't like it. Would they, Timothy? Oh, no. The chief had just raised the roof, ma', am, if you showed up.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, all right, but be careful.
Andre Cassil
I will. Timothy. My axe and my fire hat. Comin up, sir.
Dr. Jane Alexander
And don't take any foolish chances on me.
Andre Cassil
Yes, and don't get burned. I won't. I promise. Bye.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Hello? Hello, operator, Will you get me the depot, please? Thank you. Hello, depot? How's the fire going? The fire? Why, of course there's a fire. Oh. Oh, there isn't? Well, is Mr. Cassil there? He is talking to a. Oh, a young lady. Well, thank you. Good night,
Andre Cassil
Jane.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Here, dear.
Andre Cassil
Hello, darling. Sorry I was so long.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Tell me all about it. Was it bad?
Andre Cassil
Ah, it was a very stubborn blaze. Very hard to get under control. But it's, it's all out now.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Nothing left but the ashes.
Andre Cassil
Nothing.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I could see the flames from the upstairs.
Andre Cassil
Huh? You, you, you could see the.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I want some wine. Your throat must be very dry.
Andre Cassil
Yes, it is. It is very.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Sit down. I'll get it. You're probably exhausted.
Andre Cassil
Oh, no, I, I, I feel fine.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Your face is so hot. Oh, I hope you didn't get too near the flames.
Andre Cassil
Oh, no, no, no, no. I was very Careful about that. Hmm?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Your pulse is pretty fast.
Andre Cassil
Well, that's the effect you have on me, darling.
Dr. Jane Alexander
It might be the suspense too.
Andre Cassil
Suspense?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes. You weren't quite sure I would believe your fire chief story.
Andre Cassil
Oh, I didn't fool you, huh?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Not for long. Oh, darling, you didn't have to go to so much trouble. You could have told me the truth. Were you afraid I'd be jealous?
Andre Cassil
Well, it was sort of the idea.
Dr. Jane Alexander
But I'm never jealous.
Andre Cassil
Oh, but most women are.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, but that's because they don't understand it. You know, jealousy is a very simple thing. Physiologically, it's merely the adrenal gland pumping adrenaline into the bloodstream. Of course, it has a psychological trigger.
Andre Cassil
Bing.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes, like that sets the glands worsen. Oh, but that's a hangover from caveman days and has no place in a civilized mind.
Andre Cassil
You really believe all that?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, I certainly do believe it. Listen, if you ever catch me being jealous, I give you leave to put on your tiger skin, pick up your club and beat me back to my senses.
Andre Cassil
Oh, that might be fun. Jane, darling, aren't you tired?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Not a bit. Want to go for a walk?
Andre Cassil
I certainly do not want to go for a walk. No, neither do I. Oh, now, who can that be?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Another fire, darling.
Andre Cassil
Hello? No, no, sweet, I, I, I don't think so. Who? No, he ain't got any. Dr. Alexander here.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, Timothy, that's for me. Excuse me, dear.
Andre Cassil
Just a minute.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Thank you, Timothy. Hello? Yes, Dr. Gunther. Oh, really? Why, yes, of course I can wait just a minute. Andre, what's wrong? I have to get back to the hospital. Hello, Dr. Gunther. We'll drive in. I'll make it as soon as I can. It's perfectly all right. Good night. Dr. Edward has been hurt, and I have to get back and take over his cases.
Andre Cassil
Tonight?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes, and I have to get dressed.
Andre Cassil
But, darling, this is our honeymoon.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I know. I'm terribly sick.
Andre Cassil
No, no, I won't let you go.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Andre, don't be silly. There are 20 patients waiting for me there.
Andre Cassil
But I am waiting here.
Dr. Jane Alexander
But you're not sick, darling.
Andre Cassil
But I am, so look at my tongue. Now feel my head. I've got a fever. I'm coming down with something.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Andre, you do look sort of funny.
Andre Cassil
There now, you see.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Timothy, put Mr. Cassille to bed now.
Andre Cassil
Now wait.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Now put him to bed right away, Timothy. And put an ice bag at his feet if he gets a chill. Good. Good night, dear.
Andre Cassil
In a moment, Mr. DeMille presents Paul Lucas and Olivia de Havilland in Act 2 of Appointment for love. But now here's a musical fairy tale. The scene is the bedroom of Susie the spendthrie getting ready for a special, a very special date. She's looking through her clothes closet and
Dr. Jane Alexander
maybe my blue one. Dick likes blue. Oh dear, it looks awful. How about the greens? Gosh, it's all tired out. Maybe the red? No. Maybe the gold. Goodness, no.
Andre Cassil
And then the dresses stepped right out of the closet and one of them
Dr. Jane Alexander
said, susie, Susie, don't you know how to keep dresses looking like news? Listen while we tell you the secret. Hear those bubbles, gentle Lux bubbles. Just a dip. Never a touch of strong soap. Never any rubbing with cake soap. Just a dip in Lux. And dresses come out lovely looking like new. Susie, don't you know people stop look at girls whose dresses have that luxe look. Anything safe in water is safe in lux. And how much you save because clothes lead a long life when they lead a luxe life.
Andre Cassil
We pause now for station identification. This is cbs, the Columbia Broadcasting System. Act 2 of appointment for Love. Starring Olivia de Havilland as Jane and Paul Lucas as Andre. What's going on, everyone? It's bluff here and we're driving through the states in the Bluff Mobile. And the best thing that we can do is play our favorite casino style games on Spin Quest.

Andre Cassil
So far, the marriage of the successful playwright and the successful woman doctor has been a dismal. The first two days of Jane's honeymoon have been spent at the hospital, working day and night. Now Andre has returned to his apartment in New York. Only to find that his bride has taken a separate apartment in the same building. This is ridiculous. What's wrong with this place?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Nothing.
Andre Cassil
It's large. I like it. It's where I live. If you don't like it, I'll get another one.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Darling, that's not the idea. You've got to be reasonable.
Andre Cassil
I want to be reasonable. But there is no reason in the world for me to live on the 17th floor and my wife to live on the 22nd.
Dr. Jane Alexander
There are many reasons.
Andre Cassil
I don't want to hear any of them.
Dr. Jane Alexander
All right. If you don't want to listen to me, I'll just go upstairs.
Andre Cassil
But whoever heard of a bird building two nests?
Dr. Jane Alexander
In this case, it happens to be very necessary.
Andre Cassil
I'm sorry. I don't see any necessity at all.
Dr. Jane Alexander
We can talk it over when you're a little calmer. Ring for the elevator, please.
Andre Cassil
I want to talk it over right now.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Darling, I don't want to upset you.
Andre Cassil
I am not upset. I just don't understand this kind of a joke.
Dr. Jane Alexander
It's not a joke.
Andre Cassil
Going up.
Dr. Jane Alexander
22, please.
Andre Cassil
Now listen, Jane.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Andre, please don't be difficult about something that's very sensible and very sound.
Andre Cassil
Sensible?
Dr. Jane Alexander
When we were married, you knew that I was a doctor and that I was going on with my work.
Andre Cassil
Yes, but I didn't know that I would have to make an appointment every time I wanted to see you.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Please let me finish.
Andre Cassil
All right. Go ahead.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Now, I have to be at the hospital at all hours. Sometimes I come in so tired I don't want to see anybody. Sometimes I get called at 4 o' clock in the morning. Sometimes I work all night and sleep all day. Now, really, you couldn't possibly fit your life into that crazy kind of routine.
Andre Cassil
I only know one thing. 22, madam.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Thank you.
Andre Cassil
I only know that when a man marries a woman, it's because he wants to be married to her.
Dr. Jane Alexander
But you will be married to me and I'll be married to you. The only difference is that I'll be free to do my work and you'll be free to do your work. Now, really, isn't that a very sensible plan?
Andre Cassil
No.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Why? Why isn't it sensible?
Andre Cassil
Because. Because it's like that test tube idea of yours. It figures out everything but human relationships.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Andre. Look. The most important thing is for our marriage to last.
Andre Cassil
You think so?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes.
Andre Cassil
Well, I think the most important thing is for our marriage to begin. And it will not begin until you come home. And home is where the husband lives. That's the law.
Dr. Jane Alexander
The law? Really? That's very funny.
Andre Cassil
I don't think so.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I refuse to argue about it in the hall. Do you want to come inside?
Andre Cassil
No, I don't.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Very well. Good night, Andre.
Andre Cassil
Good night. Going down? 17. 17. You want I should wait for the lady? No. Mr. Cassil. Mr. Cassil, sir. Huh? Huh? What is it? I hate to disturb your rest, sir, but it's Mrs. Cassil. She's come to have breakfast with you. Huh? What? Your wife, sir. She's here for breakfast. Breakfast? What time is it? It's almost a quarter of seven, sir. Almost a quarter of seven in the morning. Get out of here before I kill you. Yes, sir. Shall I tell madam? You're not accustomed to having breakfast before 12, sir. Tell her the. Oh, never mind. I'll tell her myself. Get me a roll.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes, sir.
Andre Cassil
Here, Arthur. I want the cook up. Sir. And breakfast will be ready in a few minutes. Stop talking about breakfast. Quarter of seven. Where's my wife? In the dining room, sir. Quarter of seven. I'd never heard of such. A.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Good morning.
Andre Cassil
Good morning.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Sit down, dear. I hope I'm not too early.
Andre Cassil
No, no, no. I always get up in the middle of the night to have breakfast.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, it's going to be fun. We can have breakfast together every morning. Every morning, I promise.
Andre Cassil
The same time?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes. You see, this gives me plenty of time to get down to the hospital at 7:30 mornings. You're dressed. You can walk down with me. Oh, it isn't far. Only a mile.
Andre Cassil
Oh, that would be interesting too. We could walk around all by ourselves at half past seven in the morning. I certainly shall look forward to that.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Andre, have you thought about last night?
Andre Cassil
A little.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm sorry, Vicroix. So am I. Oh, here's the key to my apartment. I already have the one to yours.
Andre Cassil
That's marvellous. We have everything figured out.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'll tell you all about it at dinner tonight.
Andre Cassil
Dinner? But dinner seems so far away. Will Madame have a.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes, lots of cream.
Andre Cassil
Will you have oatmeal, sir? What? No, I. I thought not, sir.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Now, what are your plans for the day?
Andre Cassil
Hm? Today. Oh, you mean today now. Sausage and egg, sir. Coffee. Strong coffee. Yes, sir.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I thought maybe if I could get time off for lunch I could meet you at the Little restaurant where we had our first meal.
Andre Cassil
That's a very romantic idea.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I feel romantic today. This is our first breakfast together. All right, then I'll pick you up at the theater and we'll have lunch after that. I have an ulcer operation at 3.
Andre Cassil
Oh, God. Come on, George. Come on, come on, wake up. What's the matter? What's the matter? Wake up, George. I want to talk to you. Oh, I'm dreaming. No, you are not dreaming. I had to talk to someone and nobody I know is up here. What time is it? Eight o' clock in the morning. Eight o'.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Clock?
Andre Cassil
Hey, I thought you were on a honeymoon. That's what I thought. George, I married a monster. What? I married a monster. This had better be good. It's very bad. My wife eats breakfast at seven in the morning, then walks to work one mile. If I am dressed, she's going to let me walk with her. Now, what can I do? Shoot her. Oh, but I love her. Then shoot yourself. Now, George, please, please be serious. At 8 o' clock in the morning? And not only that. She has her own apartment five floors up. Say that again slowly. She lives on the 22nd floor and I live on the 17th floor. And she won't come down. She won't? No, and I won't go up. What do you want me to do? You don't need a producer, you need a lawyer. No, no, no. It's just some silly idea that she has about marriage. Two people have to be two people. She has her work. Can't she work and be married too? Yes, but she wants her own apartment. Oh, I get it. You live your life and I live mine. Well, go ahead and live your life. She'll get so jealous, she'll turn into a human fly and crawl down the outside of the building. She doesn't believe in jealousy. Gotta believe in something. Look here. Act one, wife won't play house. Act two, husband makes wife jealous. Act three, they wind up in each other's arms. Curtain falls. Dreamboat. It's a cinch. It's sure fire. Now, just. Just go back to sleep, George. Thank you. Do you know, darling, that we are celebrating our fortune? 48th wedding anniversary.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Our what?
Andre Cassil
48 hours.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh. And we've done nothing but quarrel.
Andre Cassil
Nothing. Coffee, sir? Yes, please. Jane, I've been thinking a lot about it since breakfast. So have I. Tonight we'll have dinner together in my apartment.
Dr. Jane Alexander
We'll have dinner there every night. That was part of the plan.
Andre Cassil
And we'll have breakfast there too.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Of course we will. I want to be with you as much as I possibly can.
Andre Cassil
Alec, is it really you?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Why, Michael. Michael Daly. Oh, how nice.
Andre Cassil
Well, this is a rare piece of
Dr. Jane Alexander
good fortune, I don't believe.
Andre Cassil
Just off the plane about half an hour ago.
Dr. Jane Alexander
No.
Andre Cassil
Called the hospital three times, wandered in here to try and drown my despair, and here you are in my very teeth. Really, Michael, I was going to write you a million times, but you know I never write letters. And anyway, you never answer them. No, Gene. Pardon me, old fellow. You don't mind if I sit down? Oh, no, thanks, Alex. I thought of a dozen ways to lure you to Brazil, but I knew you wouldn't come.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Michael, listen.
Andre Cassil
What have you been doing? You look peaked.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Mike, will you please stop? I'm trying to introduce Mr. Casseel.
Andre Cassil
How do you do? Now, you mustn't be busy tonight, Alex. You have to run me all over New York.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Michael, I want to do all the
Andre Cassil
old places we used to.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Michael, Mr. Casseel is my husband.
Andre Cassil
Well, that's very nice. Yes, and what did you say?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Husband?
Andre Cassil
Yes, she did say her husband.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes, Michael, we're married.
Andre Cassil
Oh, well, I don't like that at all. I walk around the corner, go to Brazil, and the moment my back's turned, you marry the first beggar who comes along. Pardon me, old fellow. Surely, surely. I know what you mean, Michael.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Mr. Casseel is the Mr. Casseel. The very famous one who writes the play.
Andre Cassil
Well, don't tell me you married him for that reason. I'm famous, too. She never married me. Said she never was going to get married, but I was gentleman enough to believe her. But if she was going to get married, I certainly think she should have married me. I saw you first, you know. You. You don't mind, old fellow? No, no, certainly not. I think you made a great mistake in getting married at all, Jane. A brilliant career in medicine, your own life. You might have turned out to be a great doctor.
Dr. Jane Alexander
But I'm still practicing.
Andre Cassil
Oh, he can't even support you, eh? Now, wait, my friend. Now wait.
Dr. Jane Alexander
No, Michael.
Andre Cassil
You see, I don't see what you want to live in New York for anyway. You'd be much better off as a doctor. On one of my expeditions. Catch new microbes, go into jungles, fight epidemics with one hand and natives with the other. And you pass all that up for marriage here in New York, living in a little cooped up apartment. Two apartments. All right, two apartments, six apartments. What difference does it make? It. Why two apartments?
Dr. Jane Alexander
It's a long story. And we don't want to go into it now. You know, Andre, Michael is an explorer. He goes to all kinds of weird places, meets all kinds of weird people.
Andre Cassil
You don't have to go very far. You meet them everywhere. No offense, old fellow. Oh, no, no. Two apartments.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, well, Michael used to be a patient of mine, didn't you, Michael?
Andre Cassil
You bet I was. That's why I'm back here. Devil. A lot of fun having Janie for a doctor, old fellow. You're patient of us, too. I'll never forget those treatments. They used to put me to sleep like the dead. Now, why don't you try one?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Now, Michael, it's been lovely seeing you, and we must get together if you're going to be in town for long. But in the meantime, I really have to run. I have to get to the hospital.
Andre Cassil
Oh, it's running off to the hospital. You ought to break her of that habit. Mr. Cassil, why don't you take her out of the hospital?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Now, look, because I don't want to be taken out of the hospital.
Andre Cassil
Oh, all right. I'll drive you over there. I want to talk to you about doing a broadcast scientific.
Dr. Jane Alexander
You.
Andre Cassil
You don't mind, old fellow, do you really want to know what I think?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Look, Michael, I'll talk to you about it later. Goodbye for now.
Andre Cassil
Righto. Oh, by the way, while I'm still in the States, I'm going to call you every day. I'm going to be an absolute pest. You're making a very good start. Oh, I'll do much better than this. Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. If he had said old fellow one more time, I think I would have killed him with my bare hands.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, it's a good thing you didn't try it. He has muscles like an ox.
Andre Cassil
Oh. Oh, he has muscles like an ox.
Dr. Jane Alexander
He's really very nice, Andre.
Andre Cassil
Well, it's a matter of whether or not you like oxes.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oxen.
Andre Cassil
Oxen, all right. Terrible word. Anyway, seems to do very well here.
Dr. Jane Alexander
He's quite fascinating, you know. He's been all over.
Andre Cassil
Why doesn't he go back? All over?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, you'll change your mind when you get to know him better.
Andre Cassil
I don't want to know him anymore.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm great. Don't shout. He's just a patient of mine with a very interesting feeling.
Andre Cassil
Wait. A check, please. Yes, sir.
Dr. Jane Alexander
After all, it's just the same thing as you going off to meet that Benson girl. That didn't mean a thing to you, did it?
Andre Cassil
Well, of course not.
Dr. Jane Alexander
So you see, this doesn't mean much either. Goodbye, darling.
Andre Cassil
What time is it, Lily? It's just 9:30, sir. What time did Mrs. Cassio say she'd be here? Around about 9:30, sir. She can get away from the hospital. 9:30. Good, good. Some of the 1926 vintage tonight, sir? No, no, no, not wine. Cognac. Yes, sir. You'll pardon my noticing, sir, but don't you think wine would be safer in case madam hasn't dined? Yes, yes, possibly. But this is not for Mrs. Cassio. Are you expecting someone else, sir? Yes, yes, a Miss Meredith tonight, sir. A few minutes. But aren't there possibilities of complications? Do you think so? Well, it's very likely, sir. Do you suppose Mrs. Cassil might be jealous? Leary? I don't know, sir. Well, we can try. I'll answer that. You go and get the cognac. Yes, sir. Hello, Edith.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Hello. I hope I'm not late. I had such a awful time getting away.
Andre Cassil
So glad to see you again.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, I couldn't believe my ears when you telephone.
Andre Cassil
Let me take your wrap.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'd given you up for lo. And I heard you got married.
Andre Cassil
Sit down, Edith.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Nice. Nice and cozy.
Andre Cassil
I wanted to see you again because I felt I hadn't been very nice the last time you were here.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh. Oh, the night the play open. Oh, yes. You know, Andre, you certainly must have had an old awful lot of experience to write a play like that.
Andre Cassil
Sit down, Andre. Over here. Just leave it, please. Yes.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, nice.
Andre Cassil
Would you like to hear some music?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, sure. Put it on. I'll turn out the light there. I can hear better in the dark.
Andre Cassil
Oh.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, you have a wonderful view from here. I have a wonderful view from my place too. It's on 66th Street.
Andre Cassil
Yes.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Uh huh. You can see the Hudson River. If you ever get tired of looking at the east river, you can come over to my place and look out my window and see the Hudson River.
Andre Cassil
That might be a very nice change.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Yes, it would be. So you're not expecting anybody, are you?
Andre Cassil
No. Why?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, you keep looking at the door as if you're afraid somebody might come in.
Andre Cassil
Oh, am I? Oh, I'm so sorry.
Dr. Jane Alexander
You know, when I look at a fire, it just makes me feel nice and drowsy. Oh, I just love to cuddle up.
Andre Cassil
Would you like a cigarette?
Dr. Jane Alexander
A cigarette? Oh, no, no. I don't smoke much. I don't drink much either. Just once in a while there's someone I like very, very much. And then, of course, I only take. Take one. What was that?
Andre Cassil
Oh, nothing.
Dr. Jane Alexander
It sounded like the door.
Andre Cassil
No, no, no, no, no, no. Here, sit close to me. You know, darling, it's. It's very sweet of you to come here and. And you know you shouldn't.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, why not? You said you wanted me to come over. So I said to myself, well, I'll come over. Hello. Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you. Oh, this fire looks cozy. It's cold outside.
Andre Cassil
This is my wife.
Dr. Jane Alexander
How do you do?
Andre Cassil
And darling, this is Ms. Meredith, an old friend of mine. Yes, I thought you were going to be at the hospital tonight.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, no, I just had to give Michael a few shots. Watch the progress of the fever. Well, I guess I'd better be going. I really have to be going. You see, I'm late for an appointment. Oh, no, please don't go. I just dropped in to say hello. I'm going on up to change now. Wish I could stay, but you know how it is. Good night, Ms. Meredith. Listen, I want to get out of here.
Andre Cassil
Oh, I'm sorry.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I thought I. I've been around, but this beats me. You didn't marry her on a bet or anything, did you?
Andre Cassil
Liry, get Miss Meredith rep, please. I'm. I'm. I'm sorry. I'll have to go up and explain.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Go up where?
Andre Cassil
Just up. Goodbye.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, while you're thinking up an explanation for her, will you think of one for me too? Andre. Come in, dear.
Andre Cassil
Jane, I want to tell you something.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Don't bother, darling. I understand you were just rehearsing a scene in your new play.
Andre Cassil
No, no, no. We were. Ms. Meredith is not an actress.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, really? She's so lovely. She ought to be very good on the stage.
Andre Cassil
Oh, you think she's attractive?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh yes, very.
Andre Cassil
Of course, I haven't known her very long, but. Oh, hello. How about a little three handed game of gin rummy? What. What is he doing here?
Dr. Jane Alexander
I'm keeping Michael here under observation, waiting for his fever to break. Getting better too.
Andre Cassil
Oh, I feel fine. If this man is sick, why isn't he at the hospital?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Not until the serum works. He has to stay up and do all the things he does normally. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to judge how effective the treatment is.
Andre Cassil
I don't like his being here.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Why not? He's a friend of mine. Look, I don't object to your having your friends like Miss Meredith, do I?
Andre Cassil
Yes, I know you don't, and that's just the trouble with you. Besides, it's entirely different. Miss Meredith doesn't have A fever.
Dr. Jane Alexander
That's what you think. Where are you going?
Andre Cassil
To fill a prescription for him. Me old man? Yes, you old man. Apples. A barrel of apples. Goodbye.
Dr. Jane Alexander

Andre Cassil
After a brief intermission, Mr. DeMille returns with Paul Lucas and Olivia de Havilland for the third act of Appointment for Love.
Dr. Jane Alexander
You know, Mr. Kennedy, this week I found out for sure that spring is really here.
Andre Cassil
I hope you're right, Sally. But what's your proof? Did you see her, Robin?
Dr. Jane Alexander
No Robin. But I wrote a poem and that's a positive sign that it must be spring.
Andre Cassil
Let's hear it.
Dr. Jane Alexander
The sun is bright the birds are here My heart is light and full of cheers but not because of spring alone has life assumed this happy tone. There really is another thing which makes me just as glad as spring. That is to know there is a way to help my rayon stockings stay as good as new for twice as long. It's news that fills me full of songs and I can tell you what it takes the secret is to use Lux plates Just try and see if I'm not right Your stockings last. The world is Bright. Did you like it?
Andre Cassil
Very nice, Sally. And making stockings last twice as long is something for you women to be pretty happy about, isn't it?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Happy? Why, it's something to write poetry about all year round. And Lux certainly helps. Tests proved that silks, nylons and rayons stand twice as much strain if they're washed in gentle, luxe flakes as they do if they're rubbed with cake soap or washed in with a strong soap. There are just two simple things to remember. Luck. Stockings. After each, wearing and dry rayons from 24 to 48 hours.
Andre Cassil
Now, our producer, Mr. DeMille, Paul Lucas and I will get the details on Olivia's elution journey after the play. But now the curtain rises on the third act of Appointment for Love, starring Paul Lucas and Olivia de Havilland. Mister and Mrs. Andre Cassil, their differences patched up, have at last made a definite appointment to meet at home. But home has a different meaning for each of them. That evening, when Mr. Cassil steps into the elevator, the boy says, 17. Mr. Cassil, no. 22. And a few minutes later, when Mrs. Cassiel arrives, looking breathlessly happy.
Dr. Jane Alexander
22.
Andre Cassil
Mrs. Cassiel, no.
Dr. Jane Alexander
17, please.
Andre Cassil
After waiting until two o' clock in the morning in his bride's apartment, Mr. Andrew Cassil is good and mad. Hello? Hello, this is the Henley Medical Center. Well, I want to speak to Dr. Alexander. What? She checked out at what time? 10:30. I see. Thank you.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Hello? Yes, this is Mr. Casseel's apartment. Oh, don't hang up, Ms. Meredith. Tell me, were you expecting? Oh, you didn't know, but you hoped, is that it? Well, don't worry, Ms. Meredith. It happens to the best of us. You see, I've been stood up too. Good night. Doctor Alexander's office. Oh, good morning, Mr. Castile. No, she's not here, Mr. Castile. She just left with Mr. Michael Daly. Mr. Castillo, please. They went to do a broadcast on the radio. The Scientific Forum. Mr. Castillo.
Andre Cassil
I'm sorry, sir, but Studio B is on the air. You can't go in now, sir. Listen, is that the Scientific Forum in there? Yes, sir, but you. Then get out of my way. Please, sir.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Quiet.
Andre Cassil
And now we're ready for questions from the audience. The Asha will pass through the aisles with the mic. Now, are there any questions you would like to ask Dr. Alexander?
Dr. Jane Alexander
I have a question, please.
Andre Cassil
Yes, madam?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Is it true, Dr. Alexander, that simple cases of measles still prove fatal to primitive people? Uh, yes, it is. The primitive man lacks resistance because his system has not had to exercise the functional guards against the disease. Which creates certain immunity. Thank you.
Andre Cassil
Anybody else? Let me have that microphone, please. Thank you. If she will be so kind, I have a question I would like to ask Dr. Alexander. The question is this. Where did you spend last night?
Dr. Jane Alexander
On plane.
Andre Cassil
Shut that mic off. You were not at home. You were not at the hospital. Where were you? Throw that man out of here. Ladies and gentlemen, I am her husband.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Outside, please.
Andre Cassil
What do you say? Dr. Alexander? Can you give us a statement?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Sit down, boys. Hello, Pete. I haven't seen you since I was at Bellevue.
Andre Cassil
That's right, Doc. You sure been getting famous since then. Mind if we get a few pictures?
Dr. Jane Alexander
No, no, not at all. Help yourselves.
Andre Cassil
Suppose you know why we're here, Doc.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I can't imagine.
Andre Cassil
Like the rest of the nation, we want to know the answer to that burning question.
Dr. Jane Alexander
What question is that, Pete?
Andre Cassil
Well, your husband and about 100 million others would like to know where you spent last night.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, well. All right, boys, I'll tell you. I spent last night in the apartment of one of the most charming and romantic men in all New York.
Andre Cassil
You wouldn't want to give us his name, would you, Doc?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Gentlemen, you think I'm a cad?
Andre Cassil
Wave my paint, my pretty Doctor Tells all A ron Earth Domestic flight on radio where were you? Late. Well, where? You laugh. Why were you like. Mr. Garcil? Yes, what is it? Miss Benson to see you, sir. Miss Nancy Benson. Nancy.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Don't get up, Pappy. Just the old fire chief calling.
Andre Cassil
Hello, Nancy.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Hiya. What's the matter? You look awful. Got a cold?
Andre Cassil
Yes, I have a cold.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Sin your feet. Come on, Pappy. Where's your sense of humor? This isn't serious. It's funny. Why be worried about publicity? I wish that were my face all over the front pages.
Andre Cassil
I'm not worried about publicity.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Now, don't tell me you're worried about her. She's the kind that tells her husband about the other man. And I thought doctors were supposed to be ethical.
Andre Cassil
Oh, if I hadn't started it with that radio.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, I'll admit that wasn't very smart. But you can't sit around here moping about it the rest of your life. Leary, get Mr. Cassia's hat.
Andre Cassil
No, Nancy.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Now, look. You write plays. You get your people into all sorts of jams and you get them out very convincingly. But the first little thing that happens to you personally, you act like a schoolboy caught throwing kisses to his teacher. Come on, Pappy. You're getting out of this joint right now.
Andre Cassil
Maybe you're right. You can get My hat, dearie. Yes, sir. You're a good guy, Nancy. Will you be dining at home tonight, sir? I suppose so.
Dr. Jane Alexander
He's dining all right with me and about 85 other people. Oh, a party, but a good one.
Andre Cassil
Oh, you think a party's a good idea?
Dr. Jane Alexander
You bet I do. Now, for Pete's sake, stop playing Hamlet.
Andre Cassil
Your hat, sir. Thank you, Mary.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oh, I. I suppose you read that she's going on some sort of an expedition to Mexico and getting a divorce on the side. Yes.
Andre Cassil
Yes, I read it.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I knew this thing couldn't last. You didn't have anything in common. And besides, Pappy, I never did think you were the marrying kind.
Andre Cassil
That's the trouble. I am. Going up. Oh, good evening, doctor.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Hello, Gur.
Andre Cassil
Nice night, is it? Yeah. 17, doctor?
Dr. Jane Alexander
No, 22.
Andre Cassil
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you swapped apartments with Mr. Casseel because of. On account of the night when you stayed in 17A all night.
Dr. Jane Alexander
You haven't told that to anyone else, I hope.
Andre Cassil
Oh, no, ma'. Am. I never interfere in the private affairs of the tenants. That's a rule.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, that's a good rule to keep.
Andre Cassil
Yes, ma'. Am. But you see, you stayed down there all night, and he stayed up here.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Who stayed up here?
Andre Cassil
Mr. Cassil. He came in with a big box of flowers. So I said, 17, and he said, no, 22. You know, the next day, the janitor told me he found all those flowers out on the sidewalk.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Are you sure of what you're saying?
Andre Cassil
Oh, yes, ma'. Am, But I better shut up before I interfere in the private affairs of the tenant.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Scott, let me off at 17. Hello, Leary.
Andre Cassil
Oh, good evening, madam.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Leary, where's Mr. Casseel? Hello, Dr. Alexander. Who are you? Oh, it's so nice of you to come. We really didn't expect you. Andre, look who's here.
Andre Cassil
Jane. Hey, there's a doctor in the house, folks. Pretty good, huh?
Dr. Jane Alexander
We thought you were halfway to Mexico by now, didn't we, Pappy?
Andre Cassil
Yes.
Dr. Jane Alexander
It's so much more civilized to be friendly about divorces. And don't you worry about Andre, doctor. He's well on the road to a speedy recovery. Aren't you, Pappy? Will you kindly take your hand off my husband and stop calling him Pappy? Oh, now, honey, don't start getting jealous. Get your hands off. Oh, and I'm not going to get a divorce.
Andre Cassil
Jane, what is this?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Come with me, Pappy. I've got to speak to you.
Andre Cassil

Andre Cassil
22. Waiting for the only woman I ever loved or ever will love.
Dr. Jane Alexander
The only woman you ever loved? Oh, darling.
Andre Cassil
Why, darling? A tomato like that and he's asking questions yet.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, you see why you were up here in my apartment. I was downstairs in your apartment.
Andre Cassil
Me. I feel like a itty bitty cupid. I don't care where you. My apartment. You were in, Jane.
Dr. Jane Alexander
All night, darling.
Andre Cassil
But I was right here. I was waiting and you were.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I was waiting, too, for the only man I ever loved or ever will love.
Andre Cassil
Jane, excuse me, but if the doctor gets any emergency calls tonight, do you want I should?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Gus.
Andre Cassil
Gus, we're surprised at you forgetting rule number one. Huh? Never interfere with the private affairs of the tenants. Good night, Gus. Good night. Oh, love, it's sickening. Our stars will return for a curtain call in just a moment. Reports from our far flung battlefronts are encouraging, but the war is far from over. The toughest part of the job still remains to be done. We still need to produce more and more war material and need used fats from American kitchens to do it. Used fats go into the manufacture of munitions, medicines, synthetic rubber, nylon for parachutes, paints, varnishes, plastics, and a long list of Other vital war and peacetime products.
Dr. Jane Alexander
But now that I don't have to give points for lard or salad oil or vegetable shortening. I thought that meant this. Plenty of fat.
Andre Cassil
There are more of the kinds of fats we can eat. Yes, but not enough of the kind needed by industry. In peacetime, we imported this kind of fat, useless for food, but essential in making many different products. Now, some of these sources of supply are cut off by the war. We must depend on used fats from your kitchen to make up the difference or dip into our edible fat supply. So to help the war and to conserve the fats we need for food, keep on turning in every bit of used fat.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Do we still get ration points for used fat?
Andre Cassil
Yes, indeed. Two red points, as well as four cents for every pound of used fat you turn into your butcher. Use all the unrationed fats you need in cooking. But when you have finished with them, save every drop for your butcher. Turn in at least one tin of used fat a month to help our fighting men get the materials and medicines they need. Now, here's Mr. DeMille with our star. It's time now for that tradition of the theater that always follows a delightful performance. The curtain call. And here are Olivia de Havilland and Paul Lucas. Thank you, Siby. It's a pleasure to be back. It was two years ago, Paul, almost exactly that. You gave me one of the most enjoyable evenings I ever spent in a theater, seeing Watch on the Rhine. Thank you very much. That did turn out rather lucky for me.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, you got the Academy Award for playing the same part in pictures. It's just possible it may have been more than luck.
Andre Cassil
I think Paul is modest by nature. He won't admit, for instance, that. Well, that he's the best tennis player in Hollywood. There is always Mickey Rooney to beat.
Dr. Jane Alexander
And if you said he was the best fencer, he'd find someone else.
Andre Cassil
Well, Basil Ratbone, maybe. And if I said. I said he made the best Hungarian goulash of any cook in Hollywood. No, no, no, that's right. That's right. My goulash is the best. Would you like to try it sometime? Oh, indeed I would. That's a date, Paul. You know, not many girls ask spending their vacations in the Aleutian Islands these days, ladies and gentlemen. But Olivia has just come back from that well, that perpetual winter resort. And a rather large number of soldiers and sailors aren't going to forget her. How was the weather up there, Olivia?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, in all the time I was in the Aleutians, there were only five days of sunshine. And they said that that was very unusual weather. Five days more than usual.
Andre Cassil
How far out did you go?
Dr. Jane Alexander
Well, I traveled by plane. And we went to every island that had a hospital right out to the end of the chain.
Andre Cassil
Well, that's romantic, But I believe it's barren scenery.
Dr. Jane Alexander
As barren as a tabletop. And there's a great GI joke up there in the Aleutians. The boys say there's a woman behind every tree.
Andre Cassil
I can imagine the welcome. You're astounding.
Dr. Jane Alexander
Oddly enough, it's the nearest I've been to my birthplace since I left here at the age of two.
Andre Cassil
But you weren't born in the Aleutians.
Dr. Jane Alexander
No, I was born in Tokyo, Japan.
Andre Cassil
Wow. In the not too distant future, I. I hope you may visit American soldiers there.
Dr. Jane Alexander
I hope so, too. Now, what have you planned for the Lux Radio Theater next week?
Andre Cassil
It's a very simple and a very moving drama, Olivia. The Columbia picture success Penny Serenade. And our stars will be Irene Dunn and Joseph Cotton. Penny Serenade is a love story of two people who found happiness with the help of a child. And with these distinguished stars heading our castle, I think we've found some fine entertainment for next Monday night. Yes, I remember the picture cv. It should be great for radio. Well, good night now and thank you.
Dr. Jane Alexander

Date: July 3, 2026
Starring: Olivia de Havilland as Dr. Jane Alexander, Paul Lucas as André Cassil
Producer: Cecil B. DeMille
This episode of Harold's Old Time Radio features a broadcast of Appointment for Love from the Lux Radio Theatre, dramatizing the classic Golden Age film romance. The story centers around the comedic and heartwarming marital trials of a successful playwright, André Cassil, and an accomplished doctor, Jane Alexander, as the collision of career ambitions, unconventional ideas about love, and traditional expectations test the bounds of their relationship. The episode is rich in witty dialogue, gender dynamics, the challenges of balancing work and romance, and ultimately, the reconciliation of two strong-willed modern individuals.
Cecil B. DeMille introduces the play and its stars, setting a glamorous Hollywood and Broadway context. He notes the global reach of these stories, especially for servicemen abroad, and shares a vignette about a soldier doing laundry with Lux Flakes—tying back to the sponsor.
“Many of the men in khaki and blue who used to join us at home now join us overseas... Many of them are also self-appointed ambassadors for such comforts of home as Lux Flakes.” ([02:25])
At André's Broadway play, Dr. Jane Alexander dozes off; André mistakes her for having fainted.
Notable scene:
"You saw me sleeping." – Jane ([05:01])
"So you fell asleep at my play?" – André
"I'm afraid I did. Do you mind?" – Jane
Jane unflinchingly tells André his play’s characters are illogical, sparking debate on the logic of love.
"Love is very logical. You can prove it in a laboratory. It's a chemical attraction..." – Jane ([07:49])
"That's very scientific, I'm sure." – André
André pursues Jane persistently, pretending heart trouble for a comedic hospital checkup. Jane remains practical, skeptical about romance and slightly bemused by André's theatrics.
Humorous exam sequence in the hospital:
"Will you jump up and down on one foot, please?" – Jane ([11:18])
Their relationship progresses: dancing, country trips, but Jane continues to prioritize her medical duties.
"I'm very busy. Doctors never get vacation." – Jane ([13:48])
The couple marries, but their demanding careers and independent lifestyles immediately cause friction.
Key sequence:
"Whoever heard of a bird building two nests?" – André ([28:39])
"When we were married, you knew that I was a doctor and that I was going on with my work." – Jane ([29:04])
André attempts to make Jane jealous by inviting an old flame, Edith Meredith, over. Jane, unruffled, has her own old friend (Michael, a globe-trotting explorer and former patient) around.
After a series of missed appointments and growing public scrutiny over their marriage (with newspaper headlines speculating), theirs becomes a subject of public gossip.
André embarrasses Jane by asking "Where did you spend last night?" in front of a live radio audience. She coyly responds:
"I spent last night in the apartment of one of the most charming and romantic men in all New York." – Jane ([50:54])
The fallout leads both to consider separation—but neither really wants it.
Through a mix-up, Jane and André realize they each spent the night waiting for the other in the other's apartment, symbolizing their mutual love and misplaced pride.
Reconciliation scene:
"22. Waiting for the only woman I ever loved or ever will love." – André ([56:42])
"I was waiting, too, for the only man I ever loved or ever will love." – Jane ([57:18])
They joyfully reunite, each recognizing the other’s worth and the love beneath the misunderstandings.
(Skipped most commercials except where part of the show’s character banter):
The episode is rich in classic 1940s wit, with a brisk screwball romantic banter. Jane’s scientific detachment and André’s romantic flair create comedic tension, while deeper themes on the challenges faced by professional women and the changing nature of marriage are woven in playfully.
A charming tale of love, frustration, and ultimate understanding, with sparkling chemistry, memorable quips, and a clever twist. The story remains a delightful examination of love “appointments” and marital negotiation, showcasing both stars at their most engaging.
