The bakers of Weber's Bread present your All Star Western Theater. From Hollywood comes you're All Star Western theater starring America Great Western Singers, Boy Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sage With Songs and a story of the West. My Name Is Cottonseed Clark and here are the riders of the Purple sage. I'm a long way from home and that blue mountain dome Till I hear the echoes from the hills and that sweet Billy Bell My little hillbilly gal Hauling in the echoes from the hill When I left my happy said now don't do nothing wrong I recall my mammy saying sonny, don't be long oh, I know that someday I'll be wending my way back among the eggs and from the hill Sometimes I wonder why I have to roll Somehow my thoughts are traveling way back home I miss the hills, the old folk then my little sister Lou I wonder if they miss me too I'm a long way from home and the two mountains on Till I hear the echoes from the hills and the sweet Billy Bell my little hillbilly gal Calling in the exit from the hill When I left my pappy said no to nothing wrong I recall my mammy saying Sonny, don't be long so I know that someday I'll be winding my way back home on the echo from the H. It's sam. The writers of the Purple Sage thought perhaps you would like for them to go away back into their saddlebag of western heart songs and come up with an old time favorite of yours. That would bring back a few pleasant memories to you all. So let's listen to the boys sing. Little coquette. Make you father the one who loves you Break in heart you are ruin Little potent true heart tenderly dreaming of you Someday you'll fall in love Like I fell in love with you maybe no one you love will just be ooh. And then when you're all alone with only regret you know Little coquette I love. And now let's go out west once more and join the riders of the purple stage in their regular weekly adventure on your all star western theater. Yeah, here they come. 4 willing Al slow and Jimmy Dean, the riders of the Purple Sage. The boys are on their way to the Bar Kay dude ranch to put on a special western musical show. To advertise the place and to help them along, they have enlisted the services of their old friend 10 cards. Now, what do you say we ride on ahead of the boys looking at the Barquet ranch and see what's in store for them. Here's dad Kilgore, owner of the Barquet, and his twin daughters, Elda and Nelda. And believe me, they're as much alike as two peas and a pod. You know, this could be a heck of a lot of fun. Let's see what's going on? I'm telling you girls, it don't make sense. I and this gang of guitar pickers to put on the show. Besides, we got all the customers we can accommodate on the dude ranch now.

[E]

But Daddy, that isn't the idea. We want to keep our customers happy so they'll come back again next year. Besides, this place can use a little.

[D]

Entertainment, but paying $500 for it is carrying things a shade too far.

[E]

Oh, Daddy, you're just old fashioned.

[D]

I'm just old fashioned enough to want to keep some of the money I've made so I won't have to get out and work to make more.

[E]

Just wait till you see this show. You'll change your mind.

[D]

Yeah, probably go out of my mind.

[E]

Just look at their photos, Daddy. They're just like I pictured. Ah, well, look at them, Daddy. You said you liked them on the radio.

[D]

Yeah, but I don't like them. $500 worth. Which one is that? That's Jimmy Bean running like a cow eating ice.

[E]

I think he's very handsome. And this is Al Flo.

[D]

Now that's my idea of what a Missouri mule should look like.

[E]

You ought to be ashamed.

[D]

I take it this character here is hoy willing?

[E]

That's right. Isn't it cute?

[D]

You know what he reminds me of?

[E]

No.

[D]

What? Did you ever see a gopher sticking his head out of a hole?

[E]

After you see them and hear their show, you'll change your mind about them.

[D]

Say, daughter, who's this a picture of?

[E]

Well, that's a boy they're bringing with them. His name is Ken Codd.

[D]

Ken Cod. Now that's what I call an intelligent, honest, upright looking young man.

[E]

Well, they should be getting here most anytime now.

[D]

They don't have to rush on account of me.

[E]

Right now I must rush upstairs and get dressed. I want to look my very best. Ah, and that isn't any too good. Just leave the ride as the purple sage to your twin sister. I'll leave nothing to my twin sister. In that case, it's every girl for herself.

[D]

Well, boys, there's the Barquet ranch. Yes, sir. And I'll bet it's loaded with dudes of a dozen. Say, I'll bet that big red barn over there is where we'll do our show. More than likely. Ken, what do you think of this layout? Well, the last time I played in the barn, the place was filled to capacity, loaded to the rafters. Well, did the folks like your act, Ken? Did they applaud you? Well, it sounded something like a Worm crawling over a Persian rug with rubber boots on it. Well, boys, here we are. And look who's coming out of the house. Man, oh, man, I can see right now this is the place for me.

[E]

Hello there. We've been expecting you.

[D]

Well, the expected has arrived, ma'. Am.

[E]

I'm Melda Kilgore. It's so good to have you with us.

[D]

Thank you, ma'. Am. I'm Foy Willing. This is Al and Jimmy. How are you? And this is Ken Cart. Howdy Doody.

[E]

We're all looking forward to a big show and a grand time tonight.

[D]

Well, we'll do our best to put on a good show, Ms. Nelda. And as for the grand time, say, what are you doing right after the show?

[E]

We'll discuss that later. Right now, how would a big plate of fried chicken appeal to you?

[D]

Oh, well, if it won't put you out of the way any, I might gnaw on a gizzard for a while. I'm crazy about gizzard.

[E]

Well, I'll see that you get plenty of them, Ken. Well, first, let's go in. I want you to meet my father. Daddy, I want you to meet the riders of the purple stage. This is Boy Willing, Al Slowey and Jimmy bean.

[D]

Howdy. Howdy, mister.

[E]

And this is Ken Card.

[D]

Mr. Codd, this is a real pleasure. Thank you, sir. Now, may I have my hand back?

[E]

If you boys would just make yourselves at home, I'll see if dinner is ready.

[D]

Thank you.

[E]

I won't be long.

[D]

Well, Mr. Kilgore, how's business? Good. How do you like being in the dude ranch business? Fine. Say, I'll bet it's a lot different than cattle renting. It is. Are you feeling all right, Mr. Kilgore? Never felt better in my life. Card, my boy, you're looking the picture of health. Take another look. It's nice weather we've been having. What's good about it? Well, that is. Willing, I've been wanting to ask you something. Yes, sir, Mr. Kilgore. What was it? Did you ever see a gopher sticking his head out of a hole? Well, I don't ever recall seeing one, sir. Well, the next time you shave, remember I asked the question. Gentlemen. Yes, sir, Mr. Car. Kenneth, my boy, how would you like to join me in a little tour of the ranch? Fine, sir. Now, now, I'd like that myself. That is, if it's all right with you, Mr. Kilgore. It might not be safe, Mr. Chloe. I don't understand, sir. I take it you're from Missouri? Well, I sure am. How did you know? I'm never wrong, Mr. Dean. If you need some ice to eat, you'll find the ice box full of it. Come on, Mr. Codd, my boy, let's be off. I'll see you fellas later. I am never wrong in my calculations of the human race, Mr. Coddling. Yes. Hey, you know, it's rougher. He's rougher. And a fresh cut on cat. You're just not a wolf. And that old boy is really rough. I'll tell you, while we're waiting to eat, I think I'll go down to the barn and see if the horse has been cured. For now, that's a good idea. Yeah. Well, I won't be long. Wonder where the gal got off to. Well, I guess she's turning the. Oh, here she comes now. Man, alas, she sure is pretty.

[E]

You don't have to tell me which one is which. You're boy willing and you're outlawed.

[D]

What a memory. She's gone two minutes and she still knows it.

[E]

You think you know who I am, but you don't.

[D]

Look, ma', am, are you feeling well? Must have got mixed up with the fried chicken.

[E]

I know, but you'll go.

[D]

You don't say. And I suppose that was your twin sister that just left here?

[E]

That's right.

[D]

You mean there's. There's two of you?

[E]

That's right. Nelda and Elder were twins.

[D]

Well, cast me out to sea and call me Drifty. We're getting somewhere. Now, there's one of these. Where is Elda, Nelda?

[E]

I'm Elder. He's Nelda.

[D]

Well, who's the eldest, Elder or Nelda?

[E]

I'm Elda, and Nelda is Elders and Elder for about two minutes.

[D]

Oh. Huh. Well, here she comes now.

[E]

You've met my sister. What do you think of her?

[D]

Same as you. How's the fried chicken come along, Elder? I mean, Nelda.

[E]

Where's Jimmy, dad and Ken?

[D]

Oh, they'll be back soon.

[E]

Well, then we'd better start eating. It isn't too long until showtime. Come right this way, boys.

[D]

Man, oh, man, this fried chicken is really scrumptious. You ain't telling no lie. Say, here comes old Dean. Well, I got the horses all put away and fed and. Say, what's going on here? Oh, Jimmy, this is Nelda's twin sister, Elda. Hey, this is something. Can't tell you two apart. And one's just as pretty as the other.

[E]

Thank you, Jimmy. That's nice of you.

[D]

And don't go making eyes at either one of them. Cause I've already spoken for Nelda. Yeah, and Elda and me are just like Thea. You didn't happen to be triplets, did you? No, no.

[E]

We're sorry.

[D]

You're sorry? Where does that get me? Now, wait a minute. Just take it easy, Dean. We saw him first and I had to go put the horses in.

[E]

Oh, here comes Daddy and Ken.

[D]

What do you say, son? I sure appreciate that little drink you gave me. Mr. Kilroy. Yes? Always like to have my friends sample my private stock. Come in, Ken. The fried chicken is fine. How do you. Ms. Nell? I'm. Oh my. I'm already seeing things. What do you mean, Ken, old man? That little tally of yours, I'm seeing double. It's the last time I. Wait a minute, Ken. Just take it easy. This is Elda, Nelda's twin sister. You know, for a minute there I thought I was a goner. Don't go making no eyes at either one of them. They're both folk for. Well, may if I went back and sampled that private stock again, Mr. Kilgore, we can stir up a couple more for Dean. Me great sense of humor. You have cards? You're a card. And I'm proud of it, sir. Ace high. Why don't you girls get Mr. Dean a bowl of ice? Ice? Yes. I want to see you eat it. By the way, Mr. Slowey, I saw an old friend of yours down at the barn. An old friend of mine? Yes. You said you were from Missouri, didn't you? Yeah.

[E]

Daddy should be ashamed.

[D]

Say, we'd better hurry it. Keep it close to showtime. It sure is. And Mr. Willing, suppose you'll have more self confidence in your work. I wouldn't shave until after the show if I were you. Nicaragua is a beautiful town. You buy a hacienda for a few pesos down. You give it to the lady you are trying to win, but her papa doesn't let you come in. Managua, Nicaragua is a heavenly place. You ask a senorita for a little embrace. She answered Yucaramba cramba Bambarito in the Managuanet Carrago that snow. I have been to many tropic boards. I might include even Brooklyn if you're ever feeling out of. So I'd like to recommend a looking Managua, Nicaragua, what a wonderful spot. There's coffee and bananas and a temperature hot. Jose, take a trip and on the ship go sailing away across the agua to Managua, Nicaragua. Across the agua. Thank you, folks. Thank you a lot. It sure is nice being here on the Barquet Ranch to entertain you folks. And we want to thank Mr. Kilgore and his twin daughters for inviting us. I have nothing to do with it. We hope you folks won't forget the Barcade. It's one of the finest dude ranches we've ever seen. And we know, we'll. That you'll tell your friends about it. That's the first sensible thing you've said, young man.

[E]

Daddy, be quiet.

[D]

Shut up. And now let's welcome a fine little fella that you folks have been hearing on the network a lot of the past year. And here he comes, the Billy with the red bow tie. Ken Cards. Well, thank you, boy. And hi. Your friend. Say, Ken, I've been wanting to ask you a question. Are you married? No, I'm still making my own living. Well, do you have a girl? You have a girl, don't you? I sure do, Foy. You know, I'll never forget the night I met her. It was love at first sight. She's really a sight, too. I went over to this great big dance, walked in the floor. There she was, sitting over there on a great big sofa. I walked over to her, I said, what do you say? Would you like to dance this next one? She said, I sure would. I said, well, go ahead. I want to lay down. About 10 minutes later, another great big heavy walked over to me. About 280 pounds. She says, what do you say we have this next dance? It was all right with me. I gave her my arm. She almost broke it. We danced around a little bit. Finally she got me in one of them jitterbug contests. We only danced almost three minutes. We were almost disqualified. One of my feet touched the floor. Finally, the music stopped. Feller walked over and gave us a great big silver cup. You mean that you won first prize? That's right. It was an accident, though. My garbler got caught in her earring. Well, friends, I reckon I like to play a little something on the fan show. And so here we go with Bye Bye Blue. It. Now, I'm telling you, this ain't getting us anywhere. We come here to spend one night and to do one show. And we've been here four days. Oh, Dean quit grat. Yeah, what better place is it? Or take a vacation. Vacation? Me, I. It's them twins. You two guys have been with them every doggone minute of the day. And at night, too, until the old man run you off. Well, what's wrong with That I like Elder. No, no. You mean Nelda. Elder's mine. Elder, Nelda, what difference does it make? You know, Father, something's been worrying me. Well, what's that, Ken? Well, when you're out one of them girls and you decide you want to kiss her, you're in doubt about which she is, what do you do? Why give her the benefit of the doubt? Well, that's about as good of an answer as any. Well, what are we gonna do, spend the rest of our lives here? You know, I'm thinking mighty serious about it. Me too. Are you kidding? Well, I'm sure not, Dean. You know I'm slum overboard about Elder. Elder? Yeah, Nelda. Besides, old man Kilgore's beginning to warm up now. You know, he even acts like he might like us. Well, I'll tell you, I'm giving you till morning to make up your mind. Cause old Dean is gonna take off from here like a scalded dog. Now look, girls, I want to talk to you about those boys.

[E]

Yes, Daddy. What would you like to know about them?

[D]

I don't want to be narrow minded about how late these two boys stay here at night. But I wish you'd tell them to quit taking the morning paper when they leave.

[E]

Oh, they're awfully nice boys, Daddy.

[D]

Especially I. Yeah, but does he know how to say good night?

[E]

I'll say he does.

[D]

Surely you didn't tell him that you loved him?

[E]

Oh, no, Daddy. He had to squeeze it out of me.

[D]

I'll tell you right now, I don't stand for any kissing.

[E]

I don't either, Daddy.

[D]

I'm glad to hear that.

[E]

I always sit down.

[D]

I'm glad you do, Daddy.

[E]

Now don't be old fashioned. Oh, now, we've got to get ready. The boys will be here soon.

[D]

The boys?

[E]

Are you and Ken Card going to play dominoes tonight?

[D]

I don't know, honey. I became very disappointed in Ken Card today.

[E]

How's that?

[D]

He found three empty milk bottles out back of the barn in the grass. And he came running in here to tell me that he'd found a cow's neighbor. Look, Nelda, honey, how about you and me maybe having one little kiss?

[E]

Well, I. I suppose one kiss wouldn't hurt. Here. That was so sweet. Tell me, Floyd, why'd you lend a kid like that?

[D]

Well, I used to be a vacuum cleaner salesman.

[E]

Daddy wouldn't like that kiss you gave me.

[D]

Oh, you tell your daddy not to worry. I ain't gonna give it to him. Say, Nelda, honey, did you ever Consider getting married.

[E]

Will you marry me? What? It's like this, Mr. Kilgore. Nelda and me. I. I mean, Elda, that is. She promised to marry me. Well, what do you expect? Hanging around here every night, a medal? Well, how do you know she wants to marry you? Well, sir, she gave me her lips and. And then she gave me her heart. And now I want her hand. What are you doing? Piecework. Now, what do you think, sir?

[E]

Well, you can't say, Alan, I didn't try.

[D]

Yeah, he acted like a little lamb. A little lamb. What'd he say?

[E]

Why don't you boys get jobs nearby? And perhaps sooner or later we can win a molder.

[D]

Say, that's not a bad idea.

[E]

What do you think, Elder? Oh, I think it's a wonderful idea, Nelda.

[D]

I tell you what. Old Dean and Ken are getting pretty restless. Now, we'll talk it over with them. I wonder where they are now. I haven't seen either one of them in several hours. Save their hide. Believe me, I know how to do it. You'd better do something desperate. When a man is in love, he won't listen to reason. I ought to know. Well, I know what to do. I'll break it up quick. Come on, let's go. Where are we going? Well, they're over at the house now with the girls. We're going over and throw a bomb into the fireworks. Just leave everything.
