Episode Overview

This episode features a full dramatization of "Broken Arrow," adapted from the 1950 film, on the classic Lux Radio Theatre. The radio show explores a pivotal story set in the Arizona Territory in 1870, focusing on the struggle for peace between the Apache tribe, led by Cochise, and American settlers. Central to the narrative is Tom Jeffords, a white frontiersman who builds a bridge of understanding with Cochise and, ultimately, seeks harmony through empathy and love.

Key Discussion Points & Story Highlights

Introduction: Challenging Stereotypes (01:04–03:07)

• Notable Quote:
  "Too often in our Western pictures, the American Indian has been cast in the role of villain... However, in tonight's play, Broken Arrow, we have two heroes." [01:04–01:35]

Act I: Jeffords Meets the Apaches (03:07–21:52)

Jeffords' Compassion and the Beginning of Trust

• Tom Jeffords (Burt Lancaster) discovers and aids a wounded Apache boy, showing compassion uncommon in the era’s bitter conflict.
• This act of kindness unexpectedly earns him the boy’s gratitude, and ultimately safe passage from the Apache camp, challenging the prevailing cycle of violence.

Cultural Misunderstandings and Prejudice

    "We murdered Indian women and kids." [09:15]

Seeking Understanding

Earning Cochise's Respect

• Jeffords demonstrates honesty and courage before Cochise, explaining the mail riders’ peaceful intentions.
• Cochise, skeptical but honorable, agrees to spare mail carriers—a tentative first step to peace.
  • "If I let the mail riders go in safety, but no one else, there will be little loss. It will show the whites what power the Apache has." [24:45]

Fragile Trust and Sabotaged Peace

• Despite this agreement, violence erupts: U.S. Army’s covert plans are exposed, and a wagon train is ambushed, revealing the ever-present danger and suspicion.
• Cochise’s word is honored for mail delivery, demonstrated by a successful bet in Tucson.
  • "Because he gave his word and he's a man of honor." [30:18]

• Key treaty conditions are discussed: freedom for Apaches, equality, no soldiers on their land, and punishment for crimes on both sides.
• Cochise reluctantly agrees to a three-month trial peace—symbolized by the breaking of an arrow and a growing pile of stones.
  • "If a big wind comes, a tree must bend or be lifted out by its roots. I will make a test of this piece. A test of three moons." [40:19–40:35]
• Not all Apaches agree; Geronimo departs in protest.

Marriage and Tragedy

• Jeffords and Sansere marry in a moving Apache ceremony.
  • "With my knife, I bring a drop of blood from each. And with this cord, I bind your hands together... Now, forever, there is no loneliness." [48:09–48:43]
• An ambush orchestrated by white settlers results in Sansere’s death, shattering Jeffords and threatening the fragile peace.

Standing By Peace in the Face of Loss

• Jeffords, overwhelmed with grief, is counseled by Cochise to stand firm in honoring the peace:
  • "Are you a child that you thought peace would come easy? You, who taught me so well? Is it my brother who asks me to spit on my word?" [54:17]
• Cochise refuses to allow vengeance, preserving the treaty’s spirit.
• The tragedy unites both communities in their desire for lasting peace.

Final Reflection

• Jeffords acknowledges that the loss of his wife becomes the "seal" upon the peace, echoing the heavy personal cost for the greater good.
  • "The death of San Sire was like a seal upon the peace. And from that day on, wherever I went, I always remembered my wife was with me." [55:48–56:42]

good life Sleep Lux presents Hollywood. Lever brothers co. The makers of lux flakes bring you the lux radio theater. Starring burt lancaster, jeff chandler and deborah padgett in broken arrow. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William keeley.

[William Keeley]

Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. Too often in our Western pictures, the American Indian has been cast in the role of villain. For according to the Western movie code, the white man is always the hero. However, in tonight's play, Broken Arrow, we have two heroes. One, an American Indian, famous leader of the ferocious Apache tribe. The other, an American frontiersman whose understanding of his savage enemy brought peace and goodwill to the early West. As the stars of this current screen Success, from the 20th Century Fox Studios, we have Bert Lancaster, who was kind enough to step in and play the role when James Stewart suddenly became ill. Co starring is Jeff Chandler, who, by the way, is a special favorite of ours. And because when he was a supporting actor in this theater, we knew it was just a matter of time till Hollywood claimed him. And for romance, we have adorable little Deborah Padgett, whom we first welcomed to this stage as a starlet. And as a starlet, Deborah told us how much she relied on Lux Flakes to maintain her personal wardrobe. Lux Flakes are always a favorite of stars and their studios because of the gentle protective care they give. Now, Broken Arrow, starring Burt Lancaster as Tom Jeffords, Jeff Chandler as Cochise and Deborah Padgett as Sansire. This is the story of a land, of the people who lived on it in the year 1870, and of two men, one named Cochise and the other Tom Jeffords, who tells our story.

[Tom Jeffords]

Cochise was an Indian leader of the Chiricahua Apache tribe. What I have to tell happened just as you'll hear it. The only change will be that when the Apache speak, they will speak our language. Since getting out of the Union Army, I'd been prospecting in Arizona for gold. One day I got word from a new colonel who had arrived in Tucson. They said he wanted to see me. I was passing through the mountain country when I saw some buzzards. Circling in the sky. Well, I figured it was a herd deer. A rabbit maybe, or a snake. Only it wasn't a deer. Not a rabbit either. His kind was more dangerous than a snake. He was an Apache. An Apache boy. For 10 years, we'd been on a savage war with his people. A bloody no give, no take war. Boy was badly hurt. I gave him some water. He thanked me by lunging at me with his knife. And he just stared at me, waiting for me to kill him. Now, don't move. If I wanted to kill your boy, I'd have done it before. Let me see just what's happened here. He had eight pieces of buckshot in his back. I stayed with him for three days. Then on the fourth morning, I saddled my horse. You are going now? Well, I must go. But you stay. Too soon for you.

[John Milton Kennedy]

In the wickiup, my mother is crying.

[William Keeley]

My father looks for me.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I am their only one now.

[Tom Jeffords]

No brothers or sisters? White men kill my brothers and my sister at Big Creek. My mother is crying, he said. It never struck me that an Apache woman would cry over a son like any other woman. Apaches are wild animals, we all said.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Before you go, tell me, do you

[Sansere]

pray to kill her of enemies?

[Tom Jeffords]

Why, no.

[Sansere]

Apaches pray for all white men to die.

[Tom Jeffords]

But now I pray to keep you safe.

[Sansere]

Here, you take this. My necklace.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, thanks, boy. Thank you.

[John Milton Kennedy]

And it's very big against headache and disease.

[Tom Jeffords]

Now it is yours. You wear it. Suddenly, an arrow slammed into a tree trunk. Then another and another. I dove of the rocks.

[Sansere]

Put away your gun.

[Tom Jeffords]

The arrows are only to warn you.

[John Milton Kennedy]

This white man is my friend. He is my friend. He must not be hurt. When did my son become a tame Apache? Father, look.

[Sansere]

My back.

[John Milton Kennedy]

He gave me life again when the soldiers wounded me. This one, he was with the soldiers?

[Sansere]

No.

[John Milton Kennedy]

He found me later.

[William Keeley]

He healed me.

[John Milton Kennedy]

It would be wrong to harm him. You do not give orders. You speak our tongue?

[Cochise]

A little.

[John Milton Kennedy]

White men pay many dollars for the scalp of an Apache. Why did you not take his scalp?

[Tom Jeffords]

If I kill an Apache, it will not be for scalp or money.

[John Milton Kennedy]

You are a woman? Maybe.

[Tom Jeffords]

It is well known that Apaches do not take scalps either. They are not women.

[John Milton Kennedy]

You did not kill. We will not kill this time. But not again.

[Tom Jeffords]

They wanted to kill me, all right, but they were letting me go. They stood there, watching me as I went to my horse. And then, from a distance, I heard a bird cry. Suddenly, the Indian swarmed over me, tying my arms and gagging me. Before I could shout a Warning. The bird call had come from a guard down the canyon. He'd seen something. A party of white men. Later, they brought me to the scene of their AMB

[John Milton Kennedy]

Learn well, this is Apache land. You have no right here where Cochise lives. No white man can live. Now go. Go far. Let your face not be seen again.

[Tom Jeffords]

I reached Tucson the next morning. The new colonel was waiting for me.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I'm glad to know you, Jeffers. I'm Colonel Bernal. I've come here with orders to clean out Cochise and his Apaches from the Grand Mountain area.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, that's a pretty big order, sir.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Wipe them all out. Butcher them like hogs. Kill every one of that man. I've just been talking to him. He was with a party of miners. They were ambushed yesterday morning. Half of them were killed. He said they wanted Cochise. He said they got 10 or 12 Apaches out of a war party of 50.

[Tom Jeffords]

There weren't 50, Colonel. There were only five. And not one of them got scratched.

[John Milton Kennedy]

How do you know?

[Tom Jeffords]

I saw what happened.

[John Milton Kennedy]

You saw it? Seems to me most men with a lot of hands.

[Tom Jeffords]

I was hogtied. The Apaches jumped me earlier.

[John Milton Kennedy]

So you just fought your way out, huh?

[Tom Jeffords]

No. They let me go.

[John Milton Kennedy]

They let you go? I never heard of a thing like that happening to a white man. Did you, John? No. How about you?

[Tom Jeffords]

I'd helped a wounded Chiricahua boy and I guess they thought they owed me something.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Apaches playing fair?

[Tom Jeffords]

Oh, hello, Mr. Lowry.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I don't understand this, Jeffords. You found a wounded Apache and you didn't kill him?

[Tom Jeffords]

That's right, Mr. Lowry. I didn't kill him.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I'd like to ask you why, Colonel Minal.

[Tom Jeffords]

Just what was it you wanted to see me about?

[Cochise]

Him.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I think I know how we can stop cochise. I have 250 men in town, fresh, disciplined troopers from the East. But I need you to do a little reconnoitering for me. In six months, the war will be over and we'll have Cochise up by the neck.

[Tom Jeffords]

No. No, sir. No, you won't. Cochise can't even read a map. But he and his men know every gully, every foot of mountain and every waterhole in Arizona. Why, he can't even write his own name. But his intelligence service knows when you got to Fort Grant and just exactly how many men you've got. He stopped the Butterfield stage from running and he stopped the US Mails. No, you're not gonna string him up in six Months, Colonel? Not in six years. Good day, Jeff.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Jeffords, wait.

[Cochise]

You.

[John Milton Kennedy]

You will scout for me, though?

[Tom Jeffords]

You can find somebody else, maybe.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Jeffords don't know which side he's on. That's right, Slade. That's right. I'm not looking for trouble, Jeffords. But if you don't fight against him, then you're with him. And I got a right to say that.

[Tom Jeffords]

What's your name, mister?

[John Milton Kennedy]

My name's Slade. I own a ranch only a mile out from Fort Grant. Even so, Apaches burned my house last month. My wife was inside. Seems to me a white man would want to see that sort of thing stopped.

[Tom Jeffords]

That's right. Anybody would.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Then why won't you help the colonel?

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, that's private business, mister.

[John Milton Kennedy]

War ain't private business. Not when they're murdering our women and kids, it ain't.

[Tom Jeffords]

Big Creek. We murdered Indian women and kids.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Oh, Chief started his thing, and any man who. Now, hold on, Mr.

[Tom Jeffords]

Smart Aleck. Little Lieutenant, fresh out of the East. Start of this war, he flew a flag of truce, which Cochise honored. And then he hanged Cochise's brother and five others under that flag.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Well, you hear all sorts of stories.

[Tom Jeffords]

You want to know why I didn't kill that Apache boy? For the same reason that I wouldn't kill your boy or scout for the Army. Because I'm sick and tired of all this killing. Besides, who asked us out here in the first place?

[John Milton Kennedy]

Now, look here, Tom. I don't claim the white man's always done right, but we're bringing civilization here, ain't we? Wipe them all out, butcher them like hogs. It's the only way.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, I had one good friend in town, Milt Duffield. Milt ran the mail depot. I wanted to see Milt. And I wanted to see a man

[Cochise]

who worked for him.

[Tom Jeffords]

An Indian named Juan. One of the few tame ones in the territory.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Will you turn the colonel down, Tom? Well, it's up to you, I guess.

[Tom Jeffords]

Yes, Milt. I guess it is.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Meantime, no eastern mails come in or

[Tom Jeffords]

gone out of here for several weeks now. I know, but maybe there's a way to get it through. A new route?

[Cochise]

Oh, no.

[Tom Jeffords]

Same old route. A one one. I got some work for you.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Not much work here anymore.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, if you want to earn some money, I'd like to hire you for say. Well, say a moon, maybe. I want you to teach me to speak Apache good. I want you to learn me about Apache spirits, about Apache ways.

[John Milton Kennedy]

No white man has to learn these things. Why you?

[Tom Jeffords]

I want to speak to Cochise.

[John Milton Kennedy]

You crazy?

[Tom Jeffords]

I tell you, Milt, I'm sick and tired of having people like Slade and Lowry ask me which side I'm on. I'll be willing to take a chance up in Cochise's territory to look for gold.

[John Milton Kennedy]

All right.

[Tom Jeffords]

Now I'll take a chance on something else.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Cochise will not speak with white man.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, we'll send up smoke signals.

[John Milton Kennedy]

He will not come to see you.

[Tom Jeffords]

No, no, no. I. I want to go to see him.

[John Milton Kennedy]

To his stronghold.

[Tom Jeffords]

That's right. No white man seen Cochise in 10

[John Milton Kennedy]

years and lived to tell it.

[Tom Jeffords]

Don't try it, Tom. 1 1. Will you teach him? I want to speak to Cochise about letting the mail go through. Maybe even about peace.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I will teach you.

[Tom Jeffords]

Thanks.

[John Milton Kennedy]

But for this, I will not take gold. It will end bad.

[Cochise]

Cochise will kill you.

[Tom Jeffords]

From Juan, I learned all he could teach me about Cochise and the people he ruled. Then came the day when Juan rode with me out of Tucson. At the fringe of the canyon country, we built a fire and made a smoke signal.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Smoke says that you are coming into the land of the Apaches in peace. They will not believe it, but maybe it will make them want to find out.

[Tom Jeffords]

You've been a good friend, Juan.

[John Milton Kennedy]

No.

[Cochise]

They will kill you.

[Tom Jeffords]

Maybe so. You better go on back to town.

[Cochise]

Now remember then, if you see Cochise, do not lie to him.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Not in the smallest thing. His eyes will see into your heart. He is greater than other men.

[Cochise]

I remember.

[Tom Jeffords]

So I started into the canyons. I never felt so lonely or so so dog scared in my life. There wasn't a sign of an Apache, but I knew that the smoke signal had been seen. And not a movement I made went unwatched. For three days I climbed higher into the mountains. Every sound the rolling of a stone, the call of a bird or the coyotes at night. Maybe this would be the last sound I'd hear. I kept my hands visible, away from my weapons. I tried to look at ease. And then I saw it. The Apache village. Great stone crags guarding the approaches in a forest beyond. I rode by the sentinel rocks. And suddenly, out of nowhere the trail behind me became alive with Indians. And far ahead, I saw them pouring out of the wickiups, their rifles in their hands. No one said a word. When they surrounded me, they stopped my horse. Finally, one of them spoke. Get off the horse. You. We have met before.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Before we let you live. You are a fool.

[Tom Jeffords]

I have come to speak to Cochise. Even a fool knows that he respects truth as he respects bravery.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Take his weapons.

[Tom Jeffords]

I hand them to you. I will want them when I leave.

[Cochise]

How do you know you will leave here alive? I am Cochise. Speak.

[Tom Jeffords]

When the Indian wishes to signal his brother he does so by smoke signs. This is the white man signal. This in my hand, this is a letter. My brothers, far away can look at this and understand its meaning. We call this mail.

[Cochise]

We have seen such signals before.

[Tom Jeffords]

The men who carry the mail seek no trouble. Yet your warriors kill them. I have come to ask you to let these men travel in safety.

[Cochise]

This mail carries war signals against us.

[Tom Jeffords]

No, no, this is used for other talk. War signals are sent by the military.

[Cochise]

You have carried such messages against us.

[Tom Jeffords]

When I was a scout for the army, yes.

[Cochise]

You have fought us.

[Tom Jeffords]

Yes. In the battle of Apache Pass.

[Cochise]

Come with me.

[Tom Jeffords]

I could hear the click of their rifles as Cochise led me through the angry files of his people. He said nothing until he entered his wiki up and sat down.

[Cochise]

I am the leader of my people. We fight for our land against Americans who try to take it from us. You give me no reason why I should not kill American mail riders. They kill you too.

[Tom Jeffords]

Mail riders do your people no harm.

[Cochise]

There were Apaches who did your people no harm. They were hanged. One was my brother.

[Tom Jeffords]

My people have done yours great wrong. I say this to you as I have said it to them.

[Cochise]

You think because I am an Indian, I'm a fool. You can trick me.

[Tom Jeffords]

I would not have come here if I thought that. The Apaches are warriors without equal. But compared to the whites, they are small number. And tomorrow they will be smaller.

[Cochise]

I will not talk with you of that. Your people do not want peace. They have taught me that.

[Tom Jeffords]

I ask you to think on it.

[Cochise]

Why should not the white man act first? You want me to be better than the white man?

[Tom Jeffords]

A white man has come here. I ask you to think of tomorrow.

[Cochise]

My mind must work on it. You will rest in my wikiup tonight.

[Tom Jeffords]

It is my strong wish.

[Cochise]

But first you will walk with me so my people will see us together. And you will be safe.

[Tom Jeffords]

With the coming of darkness, some of the Indians started a chant, a song of some kind. And then around the fires, I could see the dancers approaching. Warriors in full paint, with masks and costumes. Like nothing I had seen or heard about before.

[Cochise]

This is a spirit dance. The spirits of good and evil.

[Tom Jeffords]

I think that this must be the dance that comes before the sunrise ceremony. For a young girl.

[Cochise]

Yes. You are very different from other whites. You learn to speak our tongue, try to understand our ways. Maybe someday you will kill me or I will kill you. But we will not spit on each other.

[Tom Jeffords]

That is how I feel.

[Cochise]

The girl we dance for is in the holiest time of her life. It is good luck to visit her now. Would you like to visit her?

[Tom Jeffords]

Yes.

[Cochise]

Come with me. Were you ever wounded?

[Tom Jeffords]

Wounded? Why, yes. In my arm.

[Cochise]

We will tell her. For this night only, this girl is even more holy than most. Maybe because she has been away from us for a long time. She is very old for this ceremony. It is very special.

[Tom Jeffords]

There was a faint light in the wikiup. A glow from the fires. She sat there alone, her eyes closed.

[Cochise]

Young, beautiful before her.

[Tom Jeffords]

Even Cochise was humble.

[Cochise]

White Painted lady. I have old wounds. I hold out my hands before you.

[Sansere]

Each scar is a mark of love for your people. The path of your people is stretched long behind you. And you are the head. And you are the heart. And you are the blood. Killer of enemies is your father. And you are his son. You will be well.

[Cochise]

I have brought someone with me.

[Sansere]

Then he is welcome.

[Cochise]

He has an old arm wound.

[Sansere]

Give me your arm. Does it hurt you?

[Tom Jeffords]

Sometimes.

[Sansere]

It will never hurt again. Your life will be long. The good things will be yours. The sun will shine for you.

[Tom Jeffords]

We stood there in the silence for a moment. Then Cochise let me out again.

[Cochise]

At such a time as this, she sees and knows many things.

[Tom Jeffords]

What is her name?

[Cochise]

Sansere.

[Tom Jeffords]

Sansere. Morning Star.

[Cochise]

Yes. Morning Star.

[Tom Jeffords]

Cochise took me back to his wikiup. He would see me in the morning, he said. But I couldn't sleep, even long after the drums and the dances were finished. I lay there thinking Cochise the savage. Cochise the killer. Cochise as strong and as wise as any man I'd ever known. Then he faded from my mind. And in his place, I saw a girl. The girl Sansiri.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Before our stars return with Act 2 of Broken Arrow. Here's Libby Collins, our Hollywood Reporter with sensational news. Listen. Listen to what Hollywood is saying about it.

[Sansere]

Marvelous. Sensational. Nothing like it. Joan Caulfield says I could hardly believe my eyes.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Claudette Colbert says it's simply wonderful.

[Sansere]

Alexis Smith says it's better than ever.

[John Milton Kennedy]

It's sensational. It's new luxe.

[Sansere]

A better than ever luxe.

[John Milton Kennedy]

New Lux with color freshener.

[Sansere]

The most thrilling improvement since Lux was invented. New Luxe with color freshener is a real beauty bath for fabrics. It gives new life to all colors every time they're luxed.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Hollywood screen stars, women everywhere are saying it's a washing miracle.

[Sansere]

Smart prints are brighter and gayer. Look glowingly alive.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Wait till you see what it does for white things. They stay frosty white, dazzling white. Whiter than you'd ever dream possible.

[Sansere]

All colors sparkle with new life and beauty every time you wash them.

[John Milton Kennedy]

No other way of washing makes all your nice things looks so fresh, so bright, so truly new. And this wonderful new luxe is mild and safe as ever.

[Sansere]

Now more than ever. Nulux with color freshener is the favorite wardrobe care of Hollywood screen stars.

[John Milton Kennedy]

The luxe in your neighborhood store right now is Nulux with color freshener. Get a big box tomorrow. Give all your nice washables that nice as new luxe. Look, here's our producer, Mr. Keeling.

[William Keeley]

Act two of Broken Arrow. Starring Burt Lancaster as Tom, Jeff Chandler as Coches and Deborah Padgett as San S.

[Tom Jeffords]

The next morning, I found myself free to come and go through the village. I walked to the stream to watch, but I discovered I wasn't alone. Full of curiosity, aren't you? Sunserei. Well, what I'm doing, it's. It's called shaving.

[John Milton Kennedy]

It's all right.

[Tom Jeffords]

You can come closer. See?

[John Milton Kennedy]

Shaving.

[Sansere]

I thought you were skinning yourself.

[Cochise]

No.

[Sansere]

How did you know I was there?

[Tom Jeffords]

Why, I saw you through this. We call this a mirror.

[Sansere]

Well, I see my face. Oh, what a thing it is.

[Tom Jeffords]

Mirror. Here it is.

[Cochise]

Yours?

[Tom Jeffords]

Mine. You can look at yourself every day. You can see how beautiful you are. No. Wait a minute. Please don't go away.

[Sansere]

I must. It is not fitting.

[Cochise]

But why?

[Sansere]

I am not married.

[Tom Jeffords]

Aren't you allowed to talk to Apache men?

[Sansere]

Only at ceremonies or in the dance.

[Tom Jeffords]

But I was told that Apache boys and girls, they often pick those they want to marry. How can they do that if they. If they don't get acquainted?

[Sansere]

Oh, they get acquainted. There are ways.

[Tom Jeffords]

Which ways?

[Sansere]

They meet by accident where no one sees them. Oh, I leave you now. I have work to do. To pick juniper.

[William Keeley]

Where?

[Sansere]

There in the forest.

[Tom Jeffords]

I was going to walk up that way myself by accident.

[Sansere]

No, please, you must not.

[Tom Jeffords]

You told me not to follow you, but I had to. I don't know when I may see you again.

[Sansere]

When do you leave?

[Tom Jeffords]

Cochise said he would talk to me soon.

[Sansere]

Will you come back?

[Tom Jeffords]

I hope so. I want to. It's important to me.

[Sansere]

Why?

[Tom Jeffords]

May I speak truly from my heart?

[Sansere]

It will be all right.

[Tom Jeffords]

All my life I've been mostly alone. I wanted it that way. But when I saw you last night and you touched me and you prayed for me, I felt bad being alone. I knew that I needed to see you before I left. So that I could find out if it was the same as it was then.

[Sansere]

Is it the same?

[Tom Jeffords]

Yes. Now when I go away, I will be lonely for someone. For the first time in my life.

[Sansere]

I think maybe I too will be.

[Tom Jeffords]

You will be what?

[Sansere]

Cochise. Cochise.

[Tom Jeffords]

She ran off. I waited for Cochise. But whatever he was thinking, he made no mention of Sunseeri.

[Cochise]

I have decided about the mail.

[Tom Jeffords]

You have kept your word.

[Cochise]

If I let the mail riders go in safety, but no one else, there will be little loss. It will show the whites what power the Apache has. The idea makes me laugh a little.

[Tom Jeffords]

It is a good step. The seed is small, but maybe the tree will grow big. I will be happy to tell my people.

[Cochise]

It would be wise if you leave now. Your horse is saddled. You will reach Tucson without harm.

[Tom Jeffords]

It was big news that I took back to Tucson. Big enough to bring out quite a crowd in front of Milt Duffield's mail office.

[John Milton Kennedy]

You're trying to tell us Jevons? Your so called Cheese himself? That's right, Mr. Slade, I did.

[Tom Jeffords]

He gave me his word he'll let the mail ride us through.

[John Milton Kennedy]

What's that worth? The word of an Apache murder? While you were up there with him, his fighters attacked the wagon train just 40 miles east of here. Killed every person in it.

[Tom Jeffords]

Cochise never said anything about calling off the war. He just said that the mail could go through.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Well, if you're so full of faith in the word of an Apache, will you lay a little bet on it?

[Tom Jeffords]

You name it, Mr. Lowry.

[John Milton Kennedy]

$300 that five mail riders in succession leave here and that five come back.

[Tom Jeffords]

You've got a bet, Mr. Lowry.

[John Milton Kennedy]

You heard him, gents. Mail rights guaranteed, save for Tom Jeffords and his pal, Cochise. Now, who writes first? What's the matter? No volunteers? Looks like you'll have to go yourself, Jeffords.

[Tom Jeffords]

All right, Slade, I will.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Oh, no, you won't. That won't prove a thing. I'll go. That'll prove something. You better think it over, Milt. Milt's your friend, Jeffords. You gonna let him go out there and be butchered?

[Tom Jeffords]

When can you leave, Milt?

[John Milton Kennedy]

I'll leave right now.

[Tom Jeffords]

Thanks. Milt came back. So did the next rider. And the next and the next. I was so proud of Cochise, I was ready to bust. Then Colonel Bernal sent for me.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Come in. Come in, Jeffers. Well, I've just been speaking to the mail riders. They tell me it's real peaceful on the trail these days. So peaceful, in fact, that I'm going north for a while. I'm going to bring in a wagon train from Mesila.

[Tom Jeffords]

A wagon train?

[John Milton Kennedy]

Why not?

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, I. I don't want to tell you your business, Colonel, but Cochise made no agreement about wagon trains. You could be jumped anywhere along that trail.

[John Milton Kennedy]

That's exactly what I'm hoping for. And for once, we'll have all the men we need.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, he'll have enough, too.

[John Milton Kennedy]

No, I don't think so. I'll have 75 cavalrymen in plain sight. Then the mule drivers, each fully armed and in the wagons out of sight. 50 more troopers.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, I hope you make it, Colonel.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Don't be a fool, Jeffords. It's not a wagon train I'm interested in. I'm out for Cochise. This time, I think we'll suck him in. I want you to come with us.

[Tom Jeffords]

I can't go with you.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Very well. But when we come back, they'll be ready to make a deal with us. Maybe you would object to helping us with a treaty.

[Tom Jeffords]

No, sir, I won't object. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of

[Cochise]

unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back.

[Tom Jeffords]

So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills. But it turns Out. That's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment

[Announcer]

of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12 month plan required. $15 per month, equivalent to taxes and fees. Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. Me slow when network is busy. See terms.

Free at ZipRecruiter.com Zip. That's ZipRecruiter.com Zip ZipRecruiter.com Zip Five nights later, three drivers from Bernald's wagon train staggered into Tucson. They'd been ambushed.

[John Milton Kennedy]

We were cut to pieces. 50 dead and 100 wounded. Colonel Barnal's killed 5,000 pounds of grain, Every wagon, every gun, every mule. Bernal never should have tried it. Maybe not. But how did Cochise know we had men hidden in the wagons? He must have known. He knows what goes on at Fort Bowie. He knows what goes on here. Oh, I don't think he does. Then how did it happen? Who's telling him? Who's this spy?

[Sansere]

Find him.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Find him and string him up. Maybe I can tell you. Monsieur Voucher. Yeah, you were with them miners, weren't you? Maybe. A lot of us can tell you. Oh, ho.

[William Keeley]

Who is he?

[John Milton Kennedy]

Mr. Duffield. Over here. Juan. What do you want? The mail writer has come in from Bowie. He is unharmed. You hear that, Larry? That's number five. Looks like you lost your bet. Yeah, it sure looks like it. You don't pay to bet with Tom Jeffords now, does it? He's in with Cochise? He's a personal friend of that murderer Coach.

[Tom Jeffords]

Anybody else want to call me a renegade?

[John Milton Kennedy]

I'll never call you a renegade, Jeffords. A man's a liar who says. You are getting kind of soft, aren't you, Lowry? Shut up and let me finish. How come Cochise is so partial to you? How come he lets the mail through, then wipes out a whole wagon train?

[Tom Jeffords]

Because he gave his word and he's a man of honor.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Man of honor? No Indian's a man of honor.

[Tom Jeffords]

The first Peace move in 10 years and you're all too blind to see it.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Peace move? We'll have peace when every Apache is hanging from a tree. Here's your $300, Jeffords.

[Tom Jeffords]

Here's what I think of your $300. The drinks are on me.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I don't drink with any Indian lover. He's a copperhead. He sold us out. Hurry him up. What are we waiting for? Release that man. I said release that man. My name is General Howard. I've just come in from Fort Bowie. Isn't there enough trouble going on without

[Tom Jeffords]

this sort of thing?

[John Milton Kennedy]

I've got a dozen troopers around this building. There'll be no hanging tonight, gentlemen. Come along, Jeffords. I'll hear what you've got to say alone. My office,

[William Keeley]

Then.

[Tom Jeffords]

When the mail rider got through tonight, why, they were all sure I'd sold them out. Well, that's the story. I don't think I'm not grateful to

[John Milton Kennedy]

you, General, but I. Jeffords, I want you to take me to see Cochise.

[Tom Jeffords]

Why do you want to see him?

[John Milton Kennedy]

If I can. To make a treaty of peace.

[Tom Jeffords]

Who sent you here?

[John Milton Kennedy]

The President of the United States, with full power to make a fair treaty.

[Tom Jeffords]

Yeah, to be changed later.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Any treaty I make will stand.

[Tom Jeffords]

I warn you, General, I'm not going to sell Cochise down the river. Now, what's your idea of a fair peace?

[John Milton Kennedy]

Suppose you tell me.

[Tom Jeffords]

All right, I will tell you. Equality. The Apaches are a free people. They have a right to stay free on their own land with no soldiers on it.

[John Milton Kennedy]

What else?

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, you can talk the rest over with Cochise.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Then you take me to see him.

[Tom Jeffords]

He'll go alone, without troops?

[John Milton Kennedy]

Is that the best way?

[Tom Jeffords]

That's the only way.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Then I'll go alone.

[Tom Jeffords]

Once again, I was back at the Apache stronghold. Only Cochise had not yet returned from the ambush of the wagon train. But someone else was there. Sancer, there is something I need to know. I have been away almost A moon. Has anything changed with you?

[Sansere]

No. When you went away, I became frightened. I thought, he won't come back. And even if he does, when he returns from his own people, he. He will look at me with cool eyes. But now I. I am no longer afraid.

[Tom Jeffords]

You're trembling.

[Sansere]

You put such new feelings in my heart. It is there I am trembling.

[Tom Jeffords]

I love you, Sanzere. I love you.

[Sansere]

They are returning. Cochise and the warriors?

[Tom Jeffords]

You can welcome them later. Not now, Sunserei.

[Sansere]

No, Tom. Not now.

[John Milton Kennedy]

This is the warrior's return. Let it be told in our campfires how the Chiricahuas fought. How the great Cochise led us. A great wagon train destroyed, their wagons and horses taken. Corn for the whole winter. Blankets and guns. And lesson. More. In battle there are losses. Some of our men have gone to

[Cochise]

live with their fathers.

[John Milton Kennedy]

They were brave.

[Cochise]

They died honorably.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Now, for the last time, listen to their names. They will be angry if their names are ever mentioned again. Ponce. Victorio. Fiance. And his stomach.

[Tom Jeffords]

So I have come to you again, Cochise, only this time to speak of an end of the war.

[Cochise]

This man you call General Howard. If I make a peace with him, a bigger general will throw it away. No, no.

[Tom Jeffords]

He speaks for the chief. Of all Americans, there is no one greater.

[Cochise]

How do I know they will keep a peace?

[Tom Jeffords]

How do they know you will keep it?

[Cochise]

My word is my life. I do not break it.

[Tom Jeffords]

I know that. But they do not. You trust me, Cochise? There are Americans that I trust, but there are Indians that I would not trust.

[Cochise]

Me too. I would talk now of other things. Ah, it is good then. Listen. All evening, my friend. Your eyes have gone to the maiden Sansi Era.

[Tom Jeffords]

I'm glad you speak of her. I want her for my wife. I will do all the things expected of a husband here.

[Cochise]

So where will you live? Here there will always be Apaches who have suffered from white men. Will hate you for it. Tucson, maybe. Will there not always be white men who will hate your wife because of the color of her skin? You'll go far away then, in new places. But your eyes will never see anything. Always they will turn toward home. And San, Sire? They will look at her as at a strange animal.

[Tom Jeffords]

I ask you to think on it. I have thought of nothing else for a moon.

[Cochise]

Sansira is young. She does not know. Besides, I have listened to her mother. She will refuse you.

[Tom Jeffords]

I'll take her away from here. She'll go with me, too.

[Cochise]

She will not refuse. I make a joke. Always the girl's mother is a good joke.

[Tom Jeffords]

Then I can marry her.

[Cochise]

Bring three horses and saddles to her parents.

[Tom Jeffords]

I'll bring them back from Tucson with.

[Cochise]

No, no. You will let me give them for you.

[Tom Jeffords]

Oh, no, no.

[Cochise]

They're almost yours anyway. They came from your people. I want to do this for you, my friend.

[Tom Jeffords]

And the marriage now.

[Cochise]

Not now. First you go back to Tucson. Look into the heart of this general. Do not bring him back unless you are sure of him. Tomorrow I will send out runners. Apaches from all tribes will come here. To talk of peace is a big thing. I cannot decide it alone.

[Tom Jeffords]

That is not expected.

[Cochise]

And remember, I make no promises.

[Tom Jeffords]

I returned to Tucson for a solid week. I studied and I questioned General Howard. By the time I brought him back to Cochise, I knew he could be trusted. I prayed that a decent peace would come from the meeting of these two men. I wanted it for my country. I wanted it for Cochise and his people. And I wanted it because I loved a girl.

[Sansere]

Tom. Tom. You are back. But it is not permitted to visit me.

[Tom Jeffords]

Cochise will allow it. For a short time only.

[Sansere]

Cochise, he is in council?

[Tom Jeffords]

Yes. Soon he will send for me to join them.

[Sansere]

But not now.

[Tom Jeffords]

No, not now.

[Sansere]

My mother is in the wickiup. We will sit out here.

[Tom Jeffords]

Closer.

[Sansere]

No, not closer. We must not even touch our hands. I have been very busy these days. I prepare my clothes for the wedding. I must build a special wikiup for our honeymoon across the lake, away from everybody. In all this, my mother helps me and teaches me. And I try to do as I. As I think she did when she was a girl.

[Tom Jeffords]

And she couldn't have done it neater.

[Sansere]

What is that? What does it mean?

[Tom Jeffords]

Oh, that's something that the Americans say it means. Well, it means that I love you and I'll honor your parents. But most of all, it means that I love you.

[John Milton Kennedy]

The American, he is wanted now.

[Sansere]

Always. When we are alone. We are never alone.

[Tom Jeffords]

Cochise. I think he plans her that way. Big joke. The Indian leaders had been in council together. They called for General Howard too. There would be questions. And upon our answers could rest the fate of all the Southwest territory.

[John Milton Kennedy]

And you understand, Cochise, about the signing of these maps. I will place my name upon yours. You will place your mark upon mine.

[Cochise]

What is the purpose of this?

[Tom Jeffords]

It is a way of showing to all people, for all times any agreement that you and General Howard make.

[John Milton Kennedy]

If we make peace with the Americans, can we still raid the Mexicans? There cannot be war against the Mexicans either. Let the white eyes be sent back. Wait.

[Cochise]

We will talk further by ourselves. Now is the time only for questions.

[John Milton Kennedy]

If the chief of the white men dies, what will follow? His word is a bond on the chief who follows him. Suppose some white man wants yellow iron and he comes in our land to take it. Can we kill him? Such a man should be captured and given to our military. Then he will be judged and punished.

[Cochise]

Suppose he is not captured until he has killed one of us?

[John Milton Kennedy]

If a white man kills an Indian on your territory, we will hang him.

[Cochise]

That will be something for Cochise to see. The two white men will go now. I will bring you our decision.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I trust none of this. They offer a piece of paper that marks where we can go and where we cannot go. Our land gets smaller then he says we cannot go into Mexico and our land grows still smaller. Where will we get corn and horses if not by taking them as we always have?

[Cochise]

The Americans will give us cattle. We will raise them and trade them for our needs.

[John Milton Kennedy]

The answer of a woman. I am not afraid. I speak from my heart. You speak well. Speak more. It is not the Apache way to be grandmothers to cattle. Cochise is ready to surrender us all. It is not this false peace we need for the new chief now. I say this.

[Cochise]

It is not easy to change, but sometimes it is required.

[John Milton Kennedy]

The Americans are growing stronger while we grow weaker.

[Cochise]

If a big wind comes, a tree must bend or be lifted out by its roots. And I say this also. I will make a test of this piece. A test of three moons. I take one of my arrows.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I break the arrow. I will try the way of peace. Those who stay with me must keep my word. Let all others walk away. I walk away. I walk away. I walk away. I walk away. Who else comes? Who else? Who else?

[Cochise]

Take your women, your children, your horses, your weapons.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Leave our territory. I leave you my name also. Now I am ashamed to be a Chiricahua. I will take the name the Mexican enemies have given me. From now on, I am Geronimo.

[Tom Jeffords]

I'm worried, General. They're taking a long time. Too long.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Meanwhile, I find this food delicious.

[William Keeley]

What meat is it?

[Tom Jeffords]

Pony. In your honor, sir.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Pony. What kind of meat is that?

[Tom Jeffords]

A pony is a small horse, General.

[Cochise]

Oh, a small horse. The council is ended. We will try this piece. There must be a time for testing. Three moons.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Why is it needed?

[Cochise]

The white man has not shown in the past that he will keep a piece.

[John Milton Kennedy]

A three month armistice. Well, maybe it's a good idea.

[Cochise]

I have placed a stone before my Wikiup. For every day without war, there will be another stone. When three moons have passed, the pile will be high. Then we will place a white flag upon it. There will be peace.

[Tom Jeffords]

My heart is glad, Cochise.

[Cochise]

I am not yet glad. To talk of peace is not hard. To live, it is very hard. I will wait three moons to be glad.

[Tom Jeffords]

Not everyone was happy about the treaty. There were those in Tucson who still thought that Cochise was a liar and a murderer. But I saw and I heard of things that never before happened in the Southwest territory. For the first time in years, the Butterfield stage was running again. Some of Geronimo's men attacked it and they were driven off not by American soldiers, but by Cochise's Indians. It was almost too much for the people of Tucson to believe. I could go back to the canyons now. Back to San Sierra.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Ali's gone. Lowry Jeffords is back with the Apaches. What are we waiting for? Slade, you're a fool. There's no need for us to stir up trouble. Sooner or later, the Apaches will start it again. Yeah, and when they do, some more of us will be dead. It's time we pick the place of the moment ourselves. There'll never be a piece as long as Cochise is alive. I say give them a chance to prove it. Did they give my wife a chance? Are your own sister and her kids? You can be with us or not. Lowry. I've got a plan. I'm gonna kill Cochise.

[William Keeley]

My first is Hollywood born Kathleen Hughes, who won a contract at 20th Century Fox without the knowledge or help of her uncle Fu Herbert, the famous writer. Our second is a glamorous new star. But more of that later. Kathleen, I understand that your first screen role was on location.

[Sansere]

That's right, Mr. Keeley, in Nevada. It was the first time I'd ever been out of California.

[William Keeley]

And would you like to travel?

[Sansere]

Oh, yes. I want especially to visit England. Maybe if I were a star, I might even be presented to the king and queen. As Irene Dunn was when she made the Mudlark there.

[William Keeley]

Well, we'll all have a chance to see her superb characterization of Queen Victoria soon. The big charity premiere on January 30th at the Chinese Theater will be Hollywood's most spectacular in years.

[Sansere]

I wouldn't miss the Mudlark for the world.

[William Keeley]

And tonight I have news of another premiere. New Lux with color freshener. A better than ever Lux that is winning new fame in leading Hollywood studios and in the homes of Hollywood's most glamorous screen personalities.

[Sansere]

It's really terrific. You know, when I was on location in Reno, the first thing I did was to buy a box of the new Lux. I used it for my lingerie again and again. And the colors stayed so bright and so fresh. I thought I was dreaming.

[John Milton Kennedy]

It's the most sensational improvement in Lux ever. Made all colors look brighter, gayer, more sparkling than ever before. Smart prints come alive, look sharper, clearer. And whites. Never have you seen white things look so dazzling every time you wash them.

[Sansere]

Yes, I'd call it a real beauty bath for colors.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Hollywood's most glamorous screen stars agree with you, Kathleen. No other way of washing keeps lovely colors so bright. White. So white. And as mild and safe as ever. Ladies, why don't you try new luxe with color freshener for your pastel slips and 90s. Your white blouses, your gay printed dresses. See them glow with new beauty every time you wash them. If you're already a luxe fan, you'll discover new Lux with color freshener is more wonderful than ever. Get a big box tomorrow. Give all your washables that nice as new luxe look. Thank you for coming tonight.

[Cochise]

Kathleen Hughes.

[John Milton Kennedy]

We pause now for station identification. This is cbs, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

[William Keeley]

The curtain rises on Act 3 of Broken Arrow. Starring Burt Lancaster as Tom, Jeff Chandler as Cochise and Deborah Padgett as San Siren.

[Tom Jeffords]

The day had come for my marriage to Sanceres. It was on that day that Cochise placed the 12th stone on the mound in front of his WikiUp.

[Cochise]

So far it has gone well, my friend.

[Tom Jeffords]

Yes, and the signs are good here as well as Tucson.

[Cochise]

I will still wait to be glad. But now you will forget about peace and war. Now you will think only of your bride.

[Tom Jeffords]

The ceremony, is it a long one? No.

[Cochise]

With us, the ceremony of love takes place in the heart. The rest is small.

[Tom Jeffords]

Come.

[Cochise]

They are waiting for us. Let the woman who is to marry come here.

[Sansere]

I am here.

[Cochise]

Let the man who is to marry take his place beside her. The woman's left hand. The man's right hand. With my knife, I bring a drop of blood from each. And with this cord, I bind your hands together. Now you will kneel down upon the earth. Now your blood mixes. Now, for you, there is no storm for one is sheltered to the other. Now, for you there is no cold, for one is warmth to the other. Now there is no loneliness. Now, forever, there is no loneliness. Go now. Ride the white horses to your secret place.

[Sansere]

Look at you. The sun is high and still you sleep.

[Tom Jeffords]

No, not asleep. Just quiet. Because I'm so happy, I'm afraid if I open my mouth, my happiness will rush out into a funny noise, like. Yahoo.

[Sansere]

What does that mean? Is it an American word?

[John Milton Kennedy]

No.

[Tom Jeffords]

I think it was a word that was made by Adam when he opened his eyes and saw Eve.

[Sansere]

Who are they?

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, don't you know?

[Sansere]

I know so little. Sometime will you grow tired of me and go back to your people?

[Tom Jeffords]

That is a bad thought, Sunseer. Never think it again. You are my people.

[Sansere]

Will you tell me that often?

[Tom Jeffords]

Each day of our life together, I will tell it to you. I will always remember the moments of these days.

[Sansere]

We will remember them together. In the quiet of the nights, we will talk of them a little. And in time to come, we will see our children ride white horses. Maybe.

[Tom Jeffords]

When we returned to the village I saw that the pile of stones had grown higher still.

[Cochise]

There is still peace in the land, Talwan.

[Tom Jeffords]

But your men, so many of them seem to have disappeared.

[Cochise]

I have sent them out. From now on, we will protect all whites leaving Tucson. And Futboy. Also, we guard Apache Pass. If this peace does not hold, let it be the whites who break it. Now, where is your woman?

[Tom Jeffords]

In the wikiup, I think she is.

[Cochise]

You will get her, and we will walk into the canyons. I think I will teach you how to use the bow and arrow.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well. What's so hard about shooting a bow and arrow?

[Cochise]

Nothing, my friend. I think even you can learn.

[Sansere]

Look, Cochise, he misses again. What sort of man did I marry?

[Cochise]

Never mind Girl, by the time he is a grown man, he will know how.

[Tom Jeffords]

Now, you just take it easy. Where's another one of these arrows? This is ridiculous.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I bring a stranger.

[Tom Jeffords]

Who's that?

[Cochise]

One of my men.

[John Milton Kennedy]

What stranger?

[Cochise]

Bring him here.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I find him in the canyon. He carries this gun.

[Tom Jeffords]

Why, that's Ben Slade's boy. I know this boy, Cochise.

[Cochise]

Then you will talk to him.

[John Milton Kennedy]

It's all right, bub. Come on up.

[Tom Jeffords]

Your name's Slade, isn't it?

[John Milton Kennedy]

That's right, Mr. Jefford. I've sure been praying you'd be around here.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, now, nobody's gonna hurt you. What happened? You lose your way?

[John Milton Kennedy]

No, sir, not exactly. You're the one who said these Apaches wanted peace. I don't call it peaceful when they go right on stealing.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, what got stolen?

[John Milton Kennedy]

Two young colts of mine. Beauties swiped by Apaches the night before last. I've been tracking them in the canyon when this redskin jumped me.

[Cochise]

None of my people took them.

[John Milton Kennedy]

The boy lies.

[Tom Jeffords]

I know his father. He's one of the worst haters of the Apaches. If we can show that he's wrong, it would be a good thing. People will hear about it. Maybe you still have some men like Geronimo. Maybe they talk your way with their tongues, but not with their hearts.

[Cochise]

You speak wisely. I will see these horse signs.

[Tom Jeffords]

Sansere, maybe you better go back to the village.

[Sansere]

No. No, Tom, please let me go with you.

[Tom Jeffords]

All right, if you want to.

[John Milton Kennedy]

All right, bub.

[Tom Jeffords]

Now, you take us down there and show us these tracks.

[John Milton Kennedy]

It's not much further, Mr. Jeffords. You'll see him playing just the other

[Tom Jeffords]

side of the creek.

[Cochise]

Whose horse is that over there?

[Tom Jeffords]

Yours, huh?

[John Milton Kennedy]

Yes, sir. That's the mare. I was riding her. Is it all right if I get her now?

[William Keeley]

Sure.

[Tom Jeffords]

Go ahead.

[Sansere]

You call the boy Bump? Is that his name?

[Tom Jeffords]

No, that's just to be friendly.

[John Milton Kennedy]

If you'll come down this way, you'll see the tracks real good.

[Cochise]

Why does he mount the horse?

[Tom Jeffords]

I don't know.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Hey.

[Tom Jeffords]

Hey, come back here.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I'm in the clear. Go ahead, start shooting. Wave.

[Sansere]

Men, look. On the cliff.

[Cochise]

White men.

[Tom Jeffords]

I don't know how long it lasted. One of their first shots had hit me. When I came to, I was alone. Then I. I saw something lying in the rocks below me. I got to my feet. The haze disappeared some.

[William Keeley]

Siri.

[John Milton Kennedy]

No.

[Tom Jeffords]

God in heaven.

[Sansere]

No.

[Cochise]

Ambush, my friend. It was me they were after. You. You are hurt bad.

[Tom Jeffords]

She's dead, Cochise. Son. Sarah is dead.

[Cochise]

They fired and ran. One I killed with an arrow. One was wounded by my men. He still lives.

[Tom Jeffords]

Give me a knife and bring him to me.

[Cochise]

It will not be done.

[Tom Jeffords]

Bring him to me.

[William Keeley]

No.

[Tom Jeffords]

It will not be done. Some things a man cannot bear. Do you see her?

[William Keeley]

She's dead.

[Tom Jeffords]

And this peace is a lie.

[John Milton Kennedy]

They don't want peace.

[Cochise]

It is not a lie. I will not let you make it a lie. Are you a child that you thought peace would come easy? You, who taught me so well? Is it my brother who asks me to spit on my word?

[Tom Jeffords]

Why do you speak to me? Speak to her. When she hears, I will hear.

[Cochise]

You will hear me now. You will hear this. This was not done by the military. Geronimo in the south breaks the peace no less than these whites. As I will bear the murder of my people, so you will bear the murder of your wife. I am Cochise. I do not betray my people or their children. No one on my territory will open war again. Not even you.

[Tom Jeffords]

He carried me back to the village. A few days later, he told me that some men from Tucson had come to see me. Milt Duffield was with them and General Howard.

[Cochise]

Tom.

[Tom Jeffords]

We've come to pay our respects, Tom. Thank you, Milt. We've rounded up every man that had anything to do with the ambush. They're going to pay the full penalty for what they've done.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Jeffords, I know nothing can compensate you for the terrible thing that has happened. But your friends here are trying to tell you that your very loss has finally brought our people together in the will for peace. Without that will, treaties are worth little or nothing.

[Tom Jeffords]

General Howard's words meant very little to me then. But as time passed, I came to know that the death of San Sire was like a seal upon the peace. And from that day on, wherever I went, in the cities, among the Apaches, in the mountains, I always remembered my wife was with me.

[John Milton Kennedy]

And now here's Libby Collins, our Hollywood reporter with the Lux movie news of the week.

[Sansere]

I'm practically bursting with news tonight, John. First, my movie news. It's payment on demand. RKO's timely story of modern marriage, superbly acted by Bette Davis as the brilliantly ambitious wife, and Barry Sullivan as the husband who is bored with his business success.

[John Milton Kennedy]

With two such stars, no wonder it's outstanding.

[Sansere]

Well, it's a challenging domestic drama. Barry Sullivan wants to be a quiet, small town lawyer, but Betty craves wealth and position, and by her relentless scheming makes him a wealthy but unhappy executive of a big Steel company.

[John Milton Kennedy]

For a role like that, Betty must wear gorgeous clothes.

[Sansere]

Uh huh. She does. And here's where my second big news comes in. News about a washing miracle. New luxe with color freshener. This new luxe was used to care for all the fine washables of the entire cast. You should hear the wardrobe women rave in the picture. Betty wears some ravishing blouses with her beautifully tailored suits. A navy and white dot, a cream colored crepe and white lawn. Every time they were locked, they looked as sparkling and fresh as new camera. Perfect. Michael Wolfe, famous RKO designer, could hardly believe his eyes. It's the most thrilling improvement ever made in Lux Flakes.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Imagine that ladies colors actually renew their brightness every time you wash them.

[Sansere]

Brighter than you ever dreamed possible. Prints come alive as never before. Looks so gay and exciting. They're positively breathtaking and white. Stay cloud white. Whiter than any other way of washing

[John Milton Kennedy]

can make them your gayest prints, your most delicate colors, your frostiest whites sparkle with new beauty every time you wash them. Lux has been the favorite of screen stars, smart women everywhere for years now. New luxe is even more wonderful than ever. For blouses, washable dresses, lingerie, all your nice things. And safe and mild as always.

[Sansere]

Notice Betty's blouses when you see payment on demand. They were luxed again and again. Look as nice as brand new.

[John Milton Kennedy]

When you try this new luxe, you're in for a thrill. You'll agree with screen stars, Hollywood dress designers and heads of wardrobe departments. New luxe is the most wonderful clothes care you've ever discovered. Get a big box of luxe flakes tomorrow. It's in your store. Now give all your pretty washables that nice as new luxe look. Now here's Mr. Keeley with our stars.

[William Keeley]

And here they are, Bert Lancaster, Jeff Chandler and Deborah Padgett for a special curtain call. Bert, we want to doubly thank you for stepping in at the crucial moment when Jimmy Stewart was taken ill. You were wonderful, Bert.

[Tom Jeffords]

I was glad to be.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Thank you.

[Tom Jeffords]

I was glad to do it. Bill and Jimmy to you. Hurry up and recover. You did such a great job of Tom Jeffords in the picture that I hated to follow you. You can have the part back now. But I am going to keep your Lux flakes.

[John Milton Kennedy]

That's okay, Bert, but confidentially we're going

[William Keeley]

to send Jimmy a double supply. We understand that he may become the papa of twins.

[Tom Jeffords]

Don't tell me that's why he collapsed.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Uh oh. When he heard the news. No, no, Bert.

[William Keeley]

Just the Case of that old virus X. Jeff, we want to congratulate you on your new and successful picture career. But we do miss you here. I hope you'll come back and visit us often.

[Cochise]

Thank you, Bill. I'd like that. Just call me anytime.

[Tom Jeffords]

You better call Deborah, too. She and Jeff are becoming quite a team.

[Cochise]

Not exactly, Bert. I barely spoke to her in Broken Arrow.

[Sansere]

Put in our new picture for 20th Century Fox, Bird of Paradise. You're my brother.

[Cochise]

This is an improvement this time. You marry Louis Jordan.

[Tom Jeffords]

Well, Jeff, there's no reason why we handsome fellows shouldn't always win the girl. Says here.

[Sansere]

I think you'd better tell us about next week's play, Mr. Keeley, before the Apaches declare war again.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Yes, I agree with you.

[William Keeley]

Well, Deborah, it can't be too long since you read the book Robert Louis Stevenson's immortal classic, Treasure Island. And as our stars, we will have that distinguished British actor, James Mason. And the new and talented youngster, Bobby Driscoll. And that fine character actor, Nigel Bruce. We know the entire family will want to hear this great adventure story as it was brought to the screen by Walt Disney.

[Cochise]

It sounds great, Bill. We'll be listening. Good night.

[Sansere]

Good night.

[William Keeley]

Good night. You are all wonderful.

[John Milton Kennedy]

Here's a tip from one of Hollywood's beautiful stars, Joan Fontaine. She says it's easy to be luxe.

[Cochise]

Lovely.

[John Milton Kennedy]

I depend on my daily luxe soap facials. They do wonders for the skin. Leave it softer, smoother, exquisitely fresh. Why don't you try this gentle care Joan Fontaine uses for her million dollar complexion? Work the rich, creamy luxe soap. Lather well in. Rinse with warm water. Rinse again, this time with refreshing cold water. Now pat your face dry with a soft towel. Your skin is so much lovelier after this beauty facial. Active lather does the trick. Give skin that lux, lovely look. Put Hollywood's beauty soap on your shopping list. Now discover for yourself why 9 out of 10 screen stars use fragrant white luxe toilet soap.

[William Keeley]

Lelever Brothers Company, the makers of luxe flakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday evening when the Lux Radio Theater presents James Mason, Bobby Driscoll and Nigel Bruce in Treasure Island. This is William Keeley saying good night to you.
