Leber Brothers Company, the makers of Lux toilet soap, bring you the Lux radio theater, starring   Alan Ladd, Howard Da Silva, McDonald Carey, and Wanda Hendrix  

[00:00:50] Unknown:

in two years before the match.  

[00:00:53] Unknown:

Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, mister William Keeley.  

[00:01:18] Unknown:

Gaynor's   violent saga of adventure on the high sea.   Tonight we present the first clean version of 'two years before the mass' from Paramount Studios   with four of Paramount's outstanding stars.   Allen Ladd, Howard DaSilva,   Macdonald Carey   and Wanda Hendrix.   If you remember Dana's book, you may recall that when he arrived in California   from around The Cape,   1 thing which impressed him was, and I quote, the beautiful complexions of its women   which they guarded with large man's ears worn about the head.   Well, I'm sure visitors to California are still impressed by the loveliness of our women who nowadays guard those beautiful complexions   with luxe soap rather than with man tears.  

However, that can't be said of California only.   Luxe soap and beautiful complexions   go together wherever wise and lovely women live.   It's time to weigh anchor with two years of autumn last. Starling Alan Ladd as Charles,   Howard Da Silva as captain Thompson,   Macdonald Carey as Dana, and Wanda Henrich as Maria.   Boston Harbour   eighteen hundred and thirty five.   The brig children   have just tied up to the wars of the Stewart Shipping Company after a record breaking voyage from California.   First aboard her is the ship owner who goes at once to the cabin of captain Thompson.  

[00:02:50] Unknown:

Captain Thompson,   congratulations.   Congratulations.   Thank you. Thank you, sir. One hundred and thirty days out of Monterey. It will be a long time before anyone breaks this record. I'll break it myself, mister Stewart. Someday I intend to set a record that no sailing ship will ever equal.  

[00:03:06] Unknown:

Here are the ship papers sir.   Oh, and a death certificate. One of the crew. Another death? Yes. Today is off Rio. I buried in the sea. Couldn't you have put him ashore?   That would have meant entering and clearing a foreign port. It would have cost five days of good winds without knowing if the man would have benefited. I don't question your judgment. Thank you miss.   What are you looking at mister Stewart? That document on the wall.   That document is my dismissal from the United States Navy.   A unique ornament is it not?   Let me read it for you.  

Mister Francis Thompson, late captain United States Navy New York. Sir,   you are hereby dismissed from the naval service of the United States.   They waste no words, do they? I,  

[00:03:47] Unknown:

I I'll sign your papers captain.   Mister Stewart and I would like very much for you to join us at dinner this evening. I wish I could accept so, but I'll not be able to. My son is home for a change. I'd like for Charles to meet you. It would do him good. You may not be aboard ship as long as we're in talks in case it isn't a program. No, Charles.   There's time only for gambling and carousing. However I consider it a favor if you have a ship loaded for sea as soon as possible. The cargo is all ready. You may sail as soon as you sign the crew. Oh,   where's one bothersome item? I've been asked to have you put in at Fernambuco, Brazil and pick up two passengers for San Francisco.  

Passengers?   This ship doesn't fit in to carry passengers. I know but one of them is related to an important official we can't risk of sending. May I pull it at Monterey First? By all means, cipher your record. I'm sorry about this captain. It's bound to delay you. I'll still break the record.  

[00:04:41] Unknown:

Abadene. Aye, sir. Come here.   With any luck, we'll sail before the end of the week. We'll find the old crew. I'll have trouble doing that, that, sir. We'll get those you can replace the others. We'll need 15  

[00:04:58] Unknown:

Lisa. We'll see that you get them mister Amazeen.  

[00:05:04] Unknown:

Now look here, Charles. I appreciate you showing us the Boston Waterfront, but after all Wasn't matter, Harry? Is that a little too rough for you? I, thought you were going to show us your father's ship. Yes. The one that broke the record.   Later maybe. But you said she was sailing at midnight? Let her   sail. Right now I'm going to have another drink. I'll wait   it. Not a serious thought in your head is a child. When are you going to settle down and go to work? You know, I have it all figured out. Never.   I have all the time in the world and my father has all the money. He'll make it? I'll send it. Well, suppose you spend it in some other place than this. Come on. Let's get out of here. Oh, sit down my friend. We're going to have another drink.  



[00:05:46] Unknown:

Now don't upset yourself, mister Amazeen.   I promised I'd find you 15 men for the pilgrim and 15 I'll deliver. The pilgrim fails at midnight tonight, mister Bowler. Tonight.  

[00:05:56] Unknown:

We're paying you to get us a crew. Yeah. Still do ours.  

[00:05:59] Unknown:

Now let's see. We brought nine men aboard that floating piece of partition already.   Poor, poor lad. It's wicked enough to Shanghai men, mister Amazeen, let alone to serve on the pilgrims. Shut up, Roland. You'll wake up at sea with the rest of them.  

[00:06:14] Unknown:

Now then nine men at at $12 each comes. You'll get your money when we cut the others. Come on. Let's get over to the bar. Okay.  

[00:06:24] Unknown:

Break out the rum, Barkeep.   A drink for every man in the town.  

[00:06:29] Unknown:

Drink up, bitch. Drink out compliments to the finest brig that ever got booked in Boston Harbor. Wait a minute. You wouldn't be looking for a crew, would you? I'm signing Cracker Jack Seaman for a champion's passage around the horn. Mister, we know your ship. He's a bad ship and a hungry one. I'll have none of your rum. Don't listen to him, man. Don't drink with me. I will. I will. And what's more, I'll sail on your ship. You're mister Amazon, aren't you? That's right, mate. What's your name? Richard Dana. Oh, you're making mistake, sailor. I don't think so. What did you say?   Oh, I was just advising that gentleman not to sign on the totem. Who are you now?  

Look at him, mate. A daisy.   Late, sunny shirt. Get out of here. In good time. But first, I'd like to talk to that sailor. I said get out of here.   Move aside, miss Ramsey. I'll teach you to buddy in fancy drawers.  

[00:07:20] Unknown:

So he's a fighter, is he? Stand back, lads, and watch the fun.   All hands on deck. All hands on deck. Cruise on deck, captain Thompson. Thank you. Thank you, mister Amazigh. All hands. Attention.   Attention.  

[00:07:47] Unknown:

Gentlemen,   we've been at sea a few hours, Donnie, but it has already come to my attention that some of you have stated that you boarded my ship against your will.   That is a lie,   and I will tolerate no repetition of it.   Every one of you has either signed his name or made his mark agreeing to sail. I made no mark. Noted half of it. I mean, as he did it, sir King. I will pretend that neither of you men were so foolish as to interrupt me.   Those who are new aboard will soon learn that I demand but one thing of the crew,   complete permission to authority.  

Authority being vested in myself,   in mister Amazeen, the first officer, and in mister Foster, the second officer.   Mister Foster, do you have a prison? Aye, sir. Peter Bellamy.  

[00:08:28] Unknown:

And what's the charge? Upon finding himself aboard the ship, he attacked mister Amazeem with a knife. Mhmm.   Bellamy,  

[00:08:35] Unknown:

the punishment for attacking an officer is 20 lashes well laid on, and you will be confined in chains on quarter rations   until it is considered that you've learned your lesson.   Mister Foster, you will count the strokes.   Mister Ramazine carry out your orders. Aye. Aye.  

[00:08:51] Unknown:

Two,   three,   four.   Alright.  

[00:09:05] Unknown:

Captain Thompson.   What are you doing on the call today? Who are you? I wanna talk to you. I'm Charles Stewart. You like your watch? I said my name is Stewart. My father owns the ship.   So I demand that you take me back to Boston to put me ashore. How long will it take? About a year if we're lucky.  

[00:09:23] Unknown:

No time for jokes. One of the things I never take to see is a sense of humor.  

[00:09:27] Unknown:

Your mark is signed on the ship's articles. I don't make marks. I sign sign my name. I was Shanghai.  

[00:09:33] Unknown:

The law doesn't require me to be an authority on signatures. You'll serve as one of the crew and be treated as one. I don't intend living with that rabble.  

[00:09:41] Unknown:

So take me back and lose command of the ship.  

[00:09:44] Unknown:

Mister Stewart,   whether I remain in command of this ship or any other ship is a little moment.   But as long as I do command her, you may be sure that I I   shall remain her captain   and that she will stay on her course.   Mister Ramessesen,   Yeah. Turn him through with the crew.  

[00:10:12] Unknown:

Hey, Omie Otis. Easy  

[00:10:29] Unknown:

remind your tongue that sneaking skunk Foster has just waited up in something on us. It's food.   Today, he thinks Foster and Amazon, captain Thompson. I don't laugh for him. He's never been to sea before. I'm a farmer.   My wife, my children, they don't know where I am or what to do. Fuck up. He's here. Fuck up. I'll let him alone.   Dana, come and fill your plate.   Besides, this is no time to be writing letters home. This is no letter I'm writing. What is it, Jess? Well, it's a sort of diary I   suppose. You see unlike most of you, I signed for this voyage voluntarily.   I told you he was crazy.  

I want to write about this ship   and the men who sail it.   Why?   Oh Stuart, I thought you were on watch. I am, but I'm hungry.   I'll go on watch after I eat.   You call this food? Maybe you'll be feeding with the captain since you're the owner's son. Yeah.   And since when have you been willing to sit down with us, With common sailors?   I've avoided it so far. I can avoid it still long.   I'm going up on deck.  

[00:11:52] Unknown:

How do you know, Manny? I'm Sam Hooper, sir. I worked in your father's office.   But I always wanted to go to sea. What? I wanted to live on a ship, and now I'm on one.  

[00:12:02] Unknown:

Yes. And what a ship.   Is that what you're going to do? Well, I  

[00:12:06] Unknown:

I thought you might explain to the captain on account that he works for your father.  

[00:12:10] Unknown:

I'm afraid I can't, sir. And I don't seem to carry much weight for the captain. But someone's coming. It's only the cook. Get down the door.  

[00:12:18] Unknown:

So you don't like my cooking, mister Stewart?  

[00:12:21] Unknown:

No. I don't. Well, I don't, thank you. It's the gruff they give me to cook, but this is different.   Here. In the pot, take a sip of this.   Well, sticking, mister Stewart. And the nearest you'll get to it till you're ashore again.   Who's that second thought? Where's my Guinness captain function? Oh, the mates get fancy cooking too. My second day is later.  

[00:12:40] Unknown:

She's gone, Sam. It was chicken, wasn't it?   I never knew I could get so awful hungry.  

[00:12:46] Unknown:

When did you eat last? It's been so long. I can hardly remember. Well, the maids get chicken later, do you think? And it's in the galley now. Stay where you are, Sam. We'll be right back.  

[00:13:03] Unknown:

Our hands are on deck, sir. Thank you. Thank you, mister Avilin.   Gentlemen,   this is the second occasion I found unnecessary to muster this crew for reasons of discipline.   One of you has stolen the meat's food from the galley.   I do not propose to go to the trouble of individual question and search.   But if the thief does not step forward at once,   I shall presume the entire crew guilty   and you will be put on hardtack and mortar until further order.   Well?   Very well then. So it shall be.   Take over the traumasins. Oh, boy. Watch. Watch on deck. Turn two. I hope  

[00:13:41] Unknown:

so. Stuart.   What do you want, man? You dirty bilge rat. Why don't you speak up and take what's coming to you?   Why should I? Alright. A sailor alive will do what you're just under your ship late. I saw you. You were standing there by the door. You were eating something.   Yeah. Yes. Both chicken nachman. I I found it very tasty. And now you're going after and report it was you. We stole it. If you don't, we'll take care of you right here. Let him alone then. Turn him loose. Why? Because you could beat him to a pulp, but it wouldn't teach him anything.   He isn't worth dirtying your hand.  

Just keep out of our way to it. That won't be too difficult then.   Come on. Let's get below.   That's a nice picture of the door again. Larry washer, his voice.   Stowaway are you? What's your name? Sam Hooper, sir. He had this pen with him, sir. That's where our chicken went. Did you steal it? Well,  

[00:14:37] Unknown:

yes, sir. I was awful hungry.  

[00:14:39] Unknown:

Why did you board this ship? I wanna be a sailor, sir.  

[00:14:43] Unknown:

Oh?  

[00:14:45] Unknown:

Very laudable ambition.  

[00:14:47] Unknown:

I am on at the cabin boy, mister Foster. Oh, and you can put the crew back on rations. I I see. Thank you very much, sir. Come along you.  

[00:15:04] Unknown:

How's your writing coming, Dana? Oh.   Oh, pretty good, Malcolm. What's that you've just written. This?   This is about Belenite.   His punishment was sickening.   A human being made in God's likeness   flashed like a beast.   How long he will live is hard to say.   Sometimes I'm able to see him to the hold and give him a little bread and water. That's as far as I've gone.   I've been thinking about you Dana.   You had a young fella last trip called Dana too. Died a few days out.   We   buried him off Rio.   I know.   He was my brother.   Okay. Brother. You much like writing Dana.  

Yes.   I do. Mr. Foster. Not offering a man off watch who'll spend his time writing.   It's gonna be a book.   I don't know.   Maybe. Can I see it sometime?   I hope you will mr. Foster   sometime.   Thanks.   Look forward to it. Mr. Dana. Oh hello Sammy. Mr. Dana,  

[00:16:11] Unknown:

why don't you and the rest of the men like mister Stewart? You like him, Sammy? Yes, sir. I do. Even though he let you take the blame that day for stealing the chicken? But nothing happened to me, mister Dana. Besides, he stole it from me. But he ate it? Just one piece mister Dana. He made me eat all the rest. Fadden, what are you trying to tell me? Well I was hiding in the door and I told him how hungry I was. Is this the truth?   Yes sir. It's the truth.   Thanks  

[00:16:44] Unknown:

Sammy. Oh, I want to apologize Stuart. After Sammy told me what really happened, I forget it. Doesn't matter. But it does matter. And I'm afraid you'll learn how much it matters before this voyage is out.   Anything else, please?   Nothing except I've battle   Just real. Better look lively though. Macklin tells me the captain takes this very serious.   Yeah. There ain't enough work on this ship. We got a fool with a cannon. That's Rick our back. If he can play, he's still in the navy. Instead of being kicked out. Oh, watch out. Here comes damage. Why you goose scum? You aren't fit to set the same deck with him. I suppose it's being kicked out was a mistake. It's no mistake when the captain of a 20 gun sloop thinks a 48 gun frigate standing   there with a quarter deck being shot to splinters around him till he goes down wounded. And this master gunner runs to help him. And the next day, given that gunner twenty lashes for leaving the station during action. And you gave him the plug. I got the the plug. Number one,  

[00:17:48] Unknown:

guns. Praxis.  

[00:17:49] Unknown:

Fire. They don't cut much of a ticket. They think that a ship might disguise. No. But they do. He's always disobeying admirals. But he knew more in the force better than all that admirals put together. Number two, guns. For Axis.  

[00:18:00] Unknown:

Higher.   Oh very slowly. Reload and stand by.   Mister Amazeen. Number four gun ready sir. Hold your fire. Where's mister Foster? That's number three gun sir. Mister Foster is now in deck. Send a man below and find him.   Why why weren't you at your post mister Foster? You had six minutes to go to the powder magazine and return. I was returned from the magazine sir when Stuart hit me.   Is this true Stuart?  

[00:18:31] Unknown:

Yes sir, I hit him twice.  

[00:18:34] Unknown:

Mister Abadene,  

[00:18:35] Unknown:

ring that man up. Why'd you hit him mister Stuart? What happened?  

[00:18:39] Unknown:

It It doesn't matter now, sir. Better get out Stewart.  

[00:18:42] Unknown:

Mister Amity dismissed for battle stations.   Warm all hands to witness punishment. Secure  

[00:18:48] Unknown:

and all hands must your ass.  

[00:18:52] Unknown:

Stewards.   A punishment for striking an order of 20 lashes well laid on. Disobedience to orders and battle practice 10 lashes.   If the offense had been committed in battle you would have been hanged.   In view of the obvious strike this is your first voyage,   I propose to remit 10 lashes.   Mister Vandervine,   have a cook stand by with some brine. Mister Foster,   help the 20 list throat.  

[00:19:14] Unknown:

Get the salt cook and leave the cabin boy in the galley.  

[00:19:17] Unknown:

Proceed with a punishment.   One,   two,  

[00:19:24] Unknown:

eight,   four,   five,   six, seven,   six,   I wonder  

[00:19:57] Unknown:

In a moment we'll return with the second act of two years before the matter.   Meanwhile here's Libby Collins our Hollywood Reporter.   What's on your list tonight Libby? Ride the pink horse, mister Keeley.  

[00:20:08] Unknown:

A wooden horse on a merry-go-round in a little New Mexican town. Oh, you're talking about the new universal international picture. That's it. I was completely charmed with the set the studio has built. And as you know mister Keeley, they reproduced an entire new Mexican village at Fiesta time. Ride the Pink Horse has the unusual distinction of being directed by its own star Robert Montgomery.  

[00:20:29] Unknown:

And Bob does a wonderful job in both capacities.   It's an exciting story of a war veteran and a gang leader with Andrea King playing of all things, a gangster sweetheart.  

[00:20:39] Unknown:

Such a delicate lovely looking person. I could hardly imagine her in such a role. Well, she's such a versatile actor. She makes the part entirely convincing.  

[00:20:47] Unknown:

And furthermore, in any role she plays, I can say she has glamour.   You know Andrea King. What do you think John Kennedy? I'd enjoy seeing her in any role. She has real beauty. Cameo like features  

[00:20:59] Unknown:

set off by a lovely luxe complexion. And she told me just how she cares for that delicate skin of hers. Active leather facials with Luxe toilet soap lady? You're right, John. Every single day.   Here's what she does.   Smooth and fragrant luxe soap lather well in. Rinse it with warm water then cold   and packed with a soft towel to dry.   She says it's amazing the way skin takes on fresh new loveliness.   No wonder nine out of 10 famous screen stars recommend these beauty facials with luxe toilet   soap. They're such a wonderfully effective care.  

[00:21:33] Unknown:

Recent tests show that. Skin specialist found that actually three out of four complexions improved in a short time with daily luxe soap care.   So here's a suggestion for the ladies in our audience. Try these active lather facials regularly.   Remember, gentle luxe toilet soap is Hollywood's own complexion care.   Doesn't your complexion deserve it too?  

[00:21:56] Unknown:

Here's mister Cayley at the microphone. We continue with two years before the mass, starring Alan Ladd as Charles, Howard Da Silva as Captain Thompson,   Macdonald Carey as Dana and Wanda Hendrix as Maria.   The brig Pilgrim, all canvassed to the wind,   ripped through the South Atlantic. Ships and crew alike under Captain Thompson's iron   hand, training for a new speed record.   Below in the postal,   Charles Stewart lies on his bunk.  

[00:22:31] Unknown:

Is that your thing? Yes.   Don't try to move.   Your back must feel like   fire. Who brought me down here? Macklin and Sam and I.   Frank. We do the same for any shipment.   Stuart,   when battle stations were sounded, I hid my book carefully away. Now it's lying out on my bunk.   That's what started my fight fight with Foster. I saw him down here.   You're taking your book.   Why didn't you report him? You might have saved yourself the plumbing.   Getting him was worth it.   How's Solomon?   He's dying down that hole.   Do you have any idea what we're doing? Off Brazil.   We'll be putting in a pen and paper film.  

We'll be able to get ashore, get fresh food. Things will be better Stuart.   Will they then?   I wonder.   What's the matter, mate? Why aren't you eating? Nobody can eat this stuff. Not even us. It's been dead a hundred years. You smell it yourself. What's going on on here? Oh, I'm glad you stopped by, mister Foster.   Look at our plate. The stuff's crawling. We got a right to decent food. Sure you have. I'll tell the captain. You'd like to blab what goes on down here, wouldn't you? That night, put it on you. Put it through your throat, Robert. Don't be a fool. Hey.   I wasn't gonna, mister captain. With Amazon, I was gonna tell. Tell him what mister Foster does.  

We need fresh provisions.   Then tell him. Tell him now. And in case you change your mind, Foster, just remember, while I may get a flog and I'll be hanged maybe, before I do, you'll feel this knife right up to the hilt.   Now get out of here.   Come on, Stewart. You better get on deck.   Dana, what about Foster?   What do you tell about Brown, Klee and I? I don't think so.   Foster is scared of us now. What if Brown had stabbing his fall?   He'd be hanging from that yard   arm. He'd have a trial first, wouldn't he? No, he wouldn't.   Aboard any merchant ship, a sailor hasn't got a chance.  

He's just an animal to be worked to death.   Star,   flawed.   But it's going to change sometime.   It has   to.   Perhaps you've come to realize that.   I never thought much about it until I felt that lash on my back. That's why I'm writing my book.   If only I can get it published, if people will read it. The ship owners will be a Western enemies.   And my father for one. Outside of Thompson, your father is my chief example. I'm going to What's that? Hold.   Look over there.  

[00:25:12] Unknown:

It's land. Land. Hold on. We're away.   Mister Ebenezer.   Hang on. Break out the identification   Bill?  

[00:25:38] Unknown:

Not too good.   The ship,   we slowed down.   Yes. We're coming into Purnham Buickle. We're stopping to take on passengers. You you shouldn't have come down here, Stuart.   Your courts leave at the cafe again. You let me worry about that.   We're all bringing you something back from shore. Fruit, vegetables.   We'll get it down to you. You'll be alright, darling.   You're gonna be fine. Thanks, mate.  

[00:26:07] Unknown:

We've been fighting from Sean, mister Ambles. They're sending up rocket. Now where will I put the passengers, sir? Infossel's cabin. Tell him the birth of the crew. Aye. Aye, sir. Shall I stand by with the anchor? What? We're not going to anchor. The passengers will be rode out in the dory. We'll take them aboard and we'll be back to Main Thompson. I'm begging your pardon, sir, but we're in need of fresh provisions. A provision for this voyage in Boston. Yes. But the thorn horse is bad and there's grumbling in the folk's home. The salt marsh is always bad and there's always grumbling in the folk zone. Well, the short rations, sir, there may be trouble.   I think I can handle any trouble on my ship, mister Amazin.  

Stand by to pick up a passenger.   This is your cabin madam. I,   I had not been informed my passengers would be women.  

[00:26:54] Unknown:

The cabin would serve us at a nicely captain Vincent.  

[00:26:57] Unknown:

At least you speak English.   Where's the other woman, the young maid? On the deck I believe, worrying about our luggage. I'll have it sent in directly. I should warn you miss Dominguez,   this is the first time ladies have been carried on this ship.   You will kindly stay in this cabin as much as possible. I do wish, captain Thomas. And please hold yourself completely aloof from any contact with the crew.   Now if you'll excuse me, I'll see about your baggage.  

[00:27:23] Unknown:

That's all your baggage, miss? Oh, just drop the box in the corner, Sam. Yep.  

[00:27:31] Unknown:

My neighbor wants to know your name. Well, I'll be very happy with it.  

[00:27:35] Unknown:

The boy. Me? Oh, Sam Hooper, ma'am. I'm an apprentice. He would have ordered this ship.   Oh, oh, and this is my friend, mister Stewart. Thank you, Sam.  

[00:27:45] Unknown:

So, so you're going to Monterey?   No. To San Francisco. You'll be with us the whole trip? We hadn't expected ladies aboard it. We had the cabin much   cleaner. Can I, give any further help? No. Thank you.  

[00:27:57] Unknown:

Oh,   yes.  

[00:28:01] Unknown:

Oh,  

[00:28:02] Unknown:

for me? Oh, both of you.  

[00:28:04] Unknown:

Look at this coin, Sam. A picture of the Queen of Spain.  

[00:28:07] Unknown:

God, she's beautiful.  

[00:28:09] Unknown:

She looks like you, miss. Save the compliment, Sam. I think she wants us to go. If you don't mind. Well,   thanks for the tip, miss, Dominguez.  

[00:28:17] Unknown:

Maria Dominguez. Miss Dominguez,  

[00:28:20] Unknown:

I hope   Miss Dominguez, I hope you'll be comfortable.   Sam, do you mind if I keep this coin? Oh, no. You carried all the heavy things anyway. Thanks, I'll   make it up to you later.   The Mingus,  

[00:28:40] Unknown:

I didn't know you were on deck. Oh, it's not settled in a stealthy cabin, missus Wood.  

[00:28:45] Unknown:

How's your mate? Poor Mercedes.  

[00:28:48] Unknown:

Very smooth.   But say I'll be fast Cape Horn I thought it'll be fine. Don't take me to the rounding of Cape Horn. It's a great event and a sailor's life. Yes. It's turning out that way.  

[00:28:58] Unknown:

Oh, you know, I've I want to talk to you ever since you came aboard.  

[00:29:02] Unknown:

Won't you get into trouble?   It would be what?   I should like to talk to you also.   How about Sam? He seems so humble.  

[00:29:12] Unknown:

He is humble.  

[00:29:14] Unknown:

He didn't bring us on the news today. We've been sharing them with him.  

[00:29:17] Unknown:

He's sick,  

[00:29:18] Unknown:

mister David. Not safe. It's something much worse. Well, if it's food you own, why can't you tell the captain to put into the nearest port? You don't know our captain.   Why do you have to obey him? Stand says your father owns the painting. He does. But  

[00:29:34] Unknown:

Yes.  

[00:29:37] Unknown:

The wind is mounting. I must ask you to go to your cabin.  

[00:29:40] Unknown:

Stuart, what are you doing here? Letting talk the lifeline, sir. Have you finished?  

[00:29:45] Unknown:

Yes.   Then get where you belong.  

[00:29:53] Unknown:

Come in. Come   in. Well, mister Amity. I've come to report, sir, there's sickness in the crew. I've just looked at Hayes, and he's got it alright.   Scurvy, cabin boy too. And Bellarmine.   Bellarmine's. Bellarmine who? The prison. He's been in irons almost since Boston. Oh, yes. Yes. He attacked you with them. Right? Very well. I conduct burial services, mate, late Bell. Yes, sir. But captain,  

[00:30:16] Unknown:

at the Scurvy spread, we can't work that ship. We're long past Cape Horn, and I thought it well, we could put in somewhere else. The ship will not put in anywhere. The winds have sailed. It's only three days to make up as it is. We've sailed with a few cases of Scurvy before, mister Amity. Aye,  

[00:30:28] Unknown:

sir. How many fresh supplies on this? One and a half bags of potatoes and one of onions. We're, we're running very short. Very well. From now on are to be served only to the passengers.   I'll tell the ship's coming down. Come back to your wife. Mister Amity.   Mister Foster.  

[00:30:41] Unknown:

Well, answer him. Fire him, mister Foster. Another jet. Damon Hayes.  

[00:30:59] Unknown:

You look so right, mister Duke. I'm busy if the capital means the law.   What makes you say that? Tonight, after the day of ceremony, I ask him what kind of a man he steals human beings and then to stand and pray for that thought. Oh, please don't you make an enemy out of himself. He sent me to my counter. He said I was over off. He should have stayed in the cabin.   I   I wanted to see.   How is that?  

[00:31:26] Unknown:

No better. Not the same.  

[00:31:28] Unknown:

You know the decision for grow where now? The weather is getting cooler. And you'll be home in six weeks. The wind holds good.   Six more weeks.  

[00:31:37] Unknown:

Well, you don't seem very happy about it. It.  

[00:31:41] Unknown:

It's it's nearly that I have not been home for a very long time.   You see, I was sent to a convent in my group and I was paying the rules. I think you'll find living in California a lot different than Spain. I suppose so.   The windows of my father's house window. There's nothing to see but the California view.   But from the windows of my school in Spain, I could see all my three. Even a king and queen when they go by.  

[00:32:03] Unknown:

Oh,   you know I carry a picture of the Queen. You do? Mhmm. With coins.   Remember you gave this to Sam in the eye asking if I could keep it.   You shouldn't.   Why not?  

[00:32:18] Unknown:

You shouldn't.  

[00:32:19] Unknown:

Why not? Tell yourself that I ride in California. I shall be married. Narnished.  

[00:32:23] Unknown:

How long has it been since you've seen me? Since I left California. But you're only a child then. I'm going to marry you.  

[00:32:30] Unknown:

I'm married for the reign of Spanish parents in life. Did that make it right?   Your way, the American way any better.   You have some adult as you only want to choose. Someone you may never have seen and a woman you do not know who should tell me. What about what? Doesn't that end anything?  

[00:32:48] Unknown:

Maria?  

[00:32:53] Unknown:

Yes.  

[00:32:54] Unknown:

I will always carry the likeness   of the queen of sin.   Hear what I got to show you down in this hole. Why do you find a hide from? Why'd you bring me down here? When I light the candy, you'll see.   Foster. Foster's dead, mister Emmeline. I killed him a few minutes ago.   Look about you, mister Emmeline. Half a sack of potatoes and a basket of onions. Foster stole this from the gallery. When I followed him in here, he offered me half not to tell. And you killed him. Sick man and a sick boy in a folk zone. He had this all the time. He had this where they shipped me for dying a scurvy.   I killed him and I'd do it again. Why are you telling me? So you can take me to Thompson. I wanna get it over with. Take this food to the folks don't divide it. I'll take care of Foster's body.  

You're not reposting me. Just get this food to the men and keep your mouth.   Fantasy. This isn't your wife Stewart. What are you doing on deck? No. I'm talking. I had   Brown told me about porcelain.   What have you done about it? I dropped his body overboard. Told the captain and phoned him from the rigging.   Said it was too dark to lower a boat and try to find   it. Thanks, Valentin. I'll get the whole. Oh, there's something else.   By dawn, we'll be inside of land, won't we? If the wind holds. Macri says that the islands of Mexico, he says they've got food there.   Fresh food. I'm not the master of the ship. So we've got to stop something in the middle of the ship. Get all low before.  

I'll do what I can.  

[00:34:30] Unknown:

I'm quite aware that we've sighted land mister Amazeen. Those are the Clarion Islands. We made up almost two days. And shall I order course sir?  

[00:34:38] Unknown:

Alter? Our course is Monterey, mister Amazeen. Captain Tomlin, as first mate of the ship, it's my duty to warn you that unless we take on supplies, they'll be mutinied.  

[00:34:46] Unknown:

Thank you.  

[00:34:47] Unknown:

Thank you, mister Amazeen. I'll enter your remarks from the law. Who's in charge of the deck? I am, sir. But I had Dana take over what I reported to you. In view of the proximity of land, shouldn't the maid of the watch be absent as little as possible from his responsibility?  

[00:35:00] Unknown:

Very good.  

[00:35:08] Unknown:

No use talking about it. Thompson's not going to all the course. You're right, Max. There is no use talking, but we can do something about it. Yeah. Of course. We can go up on deck and take over the ship. Or would you rather stand by and see Sam when the others jumped overboard like Hayes and Bellana. It hang for Mutiny Stuart. We'll have to wait. Where's Dana?   Still with Sam. And what has to be done can be done alone. Thompson's on the quarter deck. This cabin's empty and there are guns in his   cabin. Wait here all of it.  

[00:35:42] Unknown:

What's the forest, mister Amazeen?   Oh, it's by North.  

[00:35:46] Unknown:

Very well. We hold it as long as the wind last. When or not we're making to those islands. Where did you get those thistles?  

[00:35:52] Unknown:

From your cabin. I trust you know the penalty for muting me. Let's say that my father owns this ship and I command you make for land. You're a fool Stuart.  

[00:36:00] Unknown:

Are you going to change course?  

[00:36:03] Unknown:

Yes.   Yes. I choose to remain alive to enjoy the pleasure of turning you over to the proper authorities. Mister Adam Dean, you will bear witness that I everything I'm doing is under duress.  

[00:36:12] Unknown:

Ready about. I I say.   Oh, head's decision.   Thanks for the color of it.  

[00:36:20] Unknown:

Keep your hands at your side mister Thompson.   You'll come to no harm that I can.  

[00:36:27] Unknown:

Thank you. Thank you, mister Amatine. You always were handy with a belaying pin. Pick them up.  

[00:36:31] Unknown:

Amatine.  

[00:36:32] Unknown:

Yes, Stuart. I hit you with that pin. Whatever I am, I'm no mutiny out. I'd, I'd like to hang you now, Stuart. But mutiny demands a trial before a proper  

[00:36:42] Unknown:

court. I had my chance to kill you when I didn't.   But someone will when it be safe.   And when the people back home learn the things I've learned of,   they'll run butchers like you clear the sea. They can be low, put them in iron.  

[00:36:57] Unknown:

Helmsman,  

[00:36:59] Unknown:

you will hold the course.  

[00:37:00] Unknown:

There he goes.  

[00:37:13] Unknown:

We pause now for patient identification.   This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.  

[00:37:37] Unknown:

In a moment we will return with act three of two years of honor matter.   For most girls an eighteenth birthday is a pretty important occasion.   Our guest tonight however, miss Barbara Chalice had special reason to celebrate hers. Right Barbara?   Yes mister Keeney. That was the day I signed my contract with Universal International. And now you're a full fledged working picture actor. Not every girl that sees her ambitions are young.  

[00:38:01] Unknown:

But look how long I worked for it. I started at 12 modeling children's fashion and I became a photographer's   model and the talent saw my picture. So here I am in Hollywood where I've always wanted to be. And enjoying your new career I take it. Oh, it's really exciting to see how pictures are made. I spent hours watching them film the last moment. Very interesting psychological drama.   Oh, and the set was fascinating in itself.   An ancient castle   complete with high iron gates, secret rooms and spiral staircases. Mhmm. It really was scary. Did you meet the stars Robert Cummings and Susan Hayward? I did, mister Keeley. And he was very gracious to me. It was a thrill to see Susan Hayward as a place of mysterious heroine of the lost moment. Susan is you the beauty in person. Oh, yes, mister Keeley. With her flaming red hair and gorgeous complexion, Susan Hayward is strikingly lovely.  

[00:38:52] Unknown:

I imagine mister Kennedy here will be interested in what she told me about her complexion care. It's no secret Barbara that Susan Hayward is an enthusiastic luxe girl. It would be hard to find a lovely old example of a luxe complexion and hers. I agree mister Kennedy.  

[00:39:05] Unknown:

One note that Susan Hayward's exquisite skin at any girl would be convinced that luxe toilet sole care really works. It has to work when nine out of 10 screen stars depend on it so faithfully.   And many a girl on the way out too. Here's one who never neglects her daily luxe soap care. I wish our audience could see that radiant complexion of yours. Thank you miss Barbara Chalis for coming tonight.  

[00:39:26] Unknown:

Now here's something any woman who wants softer smoother skin can do.   Get some of Hollywood's own beauty soap. Fragrant white lux toilet soap tomorrow.   Use it regularly and see if you don't agree.   Lux girls are lovelier.  

[00:39:43] Unknown:

Back now to William Keeley.   Here's the third act of two years before a man. Starring Alan Laddis Charles, Howard Da Silva as Thompson, Macdonald Carey as Dana and Wanda Henricks as Maria.   A few days have passed and the brig children have now approached the port of Monterey, California.   In prison and hold,   Charles Stewart Pezzadovato.  

[00:40:13] Unknown:

Maria.   You should have come down here. No, but it's funny.   I I dealt with some food. Oh, thanks.   Have you heard of Stanley?  

[00:40:24] Unknown:

A little longer.   Oh boy. I've been sending in some of our food. I missed the damage.  

[00:40:32] Unknown:

Maria, why did you really come down here?  

[00:40:35] Unknown:

Because I   I thought of him.  

[00:40:40] Unknown:

Even if you cared a little you you wouldn't tell me would you? You couldn't make any difference.  

[00:40:45] Unknown:

I told you my whole life has been planned. It will always be that way. Don't you always go?  

[00:40:50] Unknown:

Perhaps I couldn't Spanish, but in English it just doesn't make sense.  

[00:40:54] Unknown:

I know.   I remember you said it that way.  

[00:40:58] Unknown:

You   you better  

[00:41:01] Unknown:

come. Yes. You'll be in Monterey yourself.   I'll see you again as soon as I can return.  

[00:41:08] Unknown:

Thank you, Maria.  

[00:41:15] Unknown:

There's the Port Of Monterey, miss Travelline. Hi, sir. We like it here in the Bay until lots of bastioners come aboard in Clearance. You may take any questions. Aye. Aye.   Oh, we've established a new record for boys, miss Travelline.   You may hoist the record  

[00:41:32] Unknown:

Welcome to the board of pilgrim, Don Sebastian. Captain Thompson, how good to see you again.  

[00:41:37] Unknown:

And this.  

[00:41:38] Unknown:

This is senorita Maria Dominguez,   Don Sebastian Peralta, mayor of Monterey.  

[00:41:43] Unknown:

Don Sebastian. Senorita,  

[00:41:45] Unknown:

before my men rode me to the ship, I dispatched a messenger to your father in San Francisco.   How happy it will be to know you will soon be home again. Thank you, Don Sebastian.  

[00:41:55] Unknown:

And, when will you proceed to San Francisco  

[00:42:15] Unknown:

May I suggest madam that since I cannot speak your tongue you might express yourself in English.  

[00:42:20] Unknown:

I will tell him once a person he will never get a tooth from you. I was also going to say that in my opinion, mister Tuoh is not guilty of anything. He only tried to save the lives of sick men.   The two of them died.  

[00:42:32] Unknown:

They died because of the old brutality. You'll find complete details in the state of don't Sebastian. I am sorry, senorita,  

[00:42:38] Unknown:

that the captain has full power to demand a trial. Thank you. I trust there will be no delay.   As you wish, captain.  

[00:42:45] Unknown:

Tomorrow morning at eleven.   Stewart,   are you awake?   Stewart.   Who is it? Dana. I got Maximilian Brown with me. Alright.   What are you doing down here? The captain's just issued orders. There'll be no surely. So we're jumping ships, Stuart.   And you're coming with us. We'll have you free in no time. It's taking a pretty long chance, Dana. We know that. I mean, helping you to escape. Before a jury, you won't have a chance against Thompson.   Where are we going? We don't know yet. We'll take the door and Get to shore. So what about the passengers? Just the mean doesn't have any. So I have no chance of vision to do so. I think they're working on those chains. Big iron's first round. We'll cut the hand up later.   We'll ask for reporting the hold of the ship, sir. As in as the prayer cargo's on loading. Yes, sir. It's getting back to shore, sir. Well if we're able to unload the full cargo tomorrow, each watch may have two two hours of  

[00:43:42] Unknown:

what is that? What's that noise? What's going on for us?  

[00:43:47] Unknown:

Well it's a cruiser.  

[00:43:48] Unknown:

The load of boat. Order them to return mister Amazeen. Vote ahoy.  

[00:43:52] Unknown:

Get back on board. And what have we done? You will take the consequences Zena.  

[00:43:57] Unknown:

I order you to pull about. Here's something's ship captain Thompson. Very well.  

[00:44:18] Unknown:

But I don't kill my shipmates for you because that's murder. Mister Amozin, you are no longer first mate of this vessel? That's right with me captain Thompson. Dana,  

[00:44:26] Unknown:

Dana wait for me.  

[00:44:29] Unknown:

Amozin, Amozin come back here. Do you hear me? I order you to return.  

[00:44:37] Unknown:

And joining you mate,   I'm leaving a ship.   I tell you daddy,  

[00:45:03] Unknown:

He said.   Hammersmith said.  

[00:45:06] Unknown:

All   of   you,   back Felicia.   Do you hear me?  

[00:45:12] Unknown:

Do you want us back Jesse?   I say go back. Yeah. Go back and take the ship. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Ask the men what they want. Do we jump ship everybody to split around and take over?   There's your answer Dana.  

[00:45:25] Unknown:

We're coming back to the  

[00:45:28] Unknown:

ship  

[00:45:31] Unknown:

captain  

[00:45:33] Unknown:

Thompson.  

[00:45:36] Unknown:

Maria.   Maria it's alright. You can open the door now.  

[00:45:39] Unknown:

What what's happened? All that spicing and shooting. He's taking the ship. Captain Fonte.  

[00:45:44] Unknown:

He's dead.  

[00:45:45] Unknown:

No.   Not not you.  

[00:45:47] Unknown:

No. That could have been a Gladney. With Mackman. She's   dead too. We're putting you and your maitre show Maria and we're pulling out of here. We can stay.  

[00:45:58] Unknown:

I don't care where we go as long as you're safe. But you can't stay on the ship.  

[00:46:03] Unknown:

I don't know what's going to happen to me or anyhow. Stuart, come here. Wait a cabin real there.   Stand by Stuart for that rifle. That's happened. There's a ship coming alongside with soldiers with the hotter patrol.  

[00:46:15] Unknown:

Now out of sight men. All of your friends. Hey. Hey. Ahoy.   Big pilgrim.  

[00:46:20] Unknown:

I heard that.  

[00:46:22] Unknown:

We were just celebrating our record void.   Sorry we alarmed you. Where is your copy done? He's left orders not to be disturbed.  

[00:46:31] Unknown:

I think I had better come aboard.  

[00:46:34] Unknown:

You and your men sir, stay just where you are. Do it, Brown,  

[00:46:39] Unknown:

Julie.   Make a moment of fire.   Stand by to slip anchor men. But I'll pass you this in about the hobbit   Then bring them here at once. Oh you can't tell them loose now. It'll spill the whole story. It won't matter the winds with us and there's a ship in the harbor to follow. Get the girl and her maid. There's no time to lose.   Marie I,   I don't know how or how but  

[00:47:04] Unknown:

promise me you'll let someone. Do it. We'll buy it.   I promise you.  

[00:47:09] Unknown:

Come back to it. Can we proceed now  

[00:47:27] Unknown:

Men,   we've been a full day at sea.   For a while, we'll have nothing to worry about.   But here and now, we've got to make up our minds where we're going. We know where we're going, Dana. First, we're gonna put him somewhere and get food aboard.   And after that? We head to the audience. They'll hunt us down in every spot in the world. You got a better idea?   Yes. We should put about for Boston, give ourselves up and tell them exactly what happened and   why. We're gonna sell the car door and for once live like human beings. Then we will be hunted down like pirates. And people will go on saying that seamen should have no rights. What Dana said makes sense. Well that's all very well for you, sir. The ship owner's son. But they'll sing us up.   I may be a ship owner's son,   but I'm also a senior now.  

And I have an interest in that book that Dana's writing.   He can help American sailors get a different kind of life. But it's no use unless the men who's defending have the courage to back him up.   Take this ship back home like freeborn Americans.   Face the charges.   Prove that what we did was justified.   If you got the ship,  

[00:48:31] Unknown:

it's up to you. I'll never walk down us. Me too. Thanks, honey. I'm with you. I'll take a chance too.  

[00:48:37] Unknown:

Alright.  

[00:48:38] Unknown:

What about you, bro?   Yeah. If if you're all alright.   Soon as this seal room, Dana, let's come across. Thank you, bro.   We're going home then.   We're going back to Boston.  

[00:48:55] Unknown:

Boston, Massachusetts.   April Ten Eighteen Thirty Six. The Briggs Pilgrim Stewart Shipping Company, boarded by customs officials in Boston Harbor.   Disney reported in Pacific Ocean, Captain and officer's jet.   Entire crew is under arrest.  

[00:49:15] Unknown:

You can see your son now mister Stewart. Thank you Warren.   Hello father. Charles, it's good to see you again even under these circumstances.   Now I don't want you to worry my lawyer. We'll have you out of here tomorrow.   Well, thanks father. I'm staying here with the rest of the crew. Stay with them here in prison.   I want to take the charge, but we did was justified.   Then it's also crude that. It's going to be public. Well, it's not going to it Charles. You'll be out on bail tomorrow.   No father.   Whatever happens to them, I'm sharing it.   You've changed Charles.  

I'm glad.   Thank you father.  

[00:49:57] Unknown:

If there's books sold out in Boston, public or gas, the charges made in books, two years before the mass, center of great controversy. United States Senate takes over investigation   of history.   Do you have anything further to tell us mister Dana?  

[00:50:16] Unknown:

Yes, senator Barnes.   None of us can offer a better dissent than the testimony just delivered by mister Dominguez.   The timely arrival here in Washington was more than we even dared to hope for.   I do have one thing more to say though.   We all knew that the penalty for mutiny is hanging,   yet we willingly brought our ship home to face the charges   for the good of those who will continue to sail American ships.  

[00:50:42] Unknown:

Mister Charles Stewart.  

[00:50:44] Unknown:

Justice.  

[00:50:45] Unknown:

Attorney General is awaiting the decision of this senatorial committee.  

[00:50:49] Unknown:

You have a final statement. Please make it   now. Whether we live or die senator is a matter of law.   But the only law that a sailor has ever known is the personal decision of his captain.   If a sailor obtains his senses to starvation,   swogging or even death.   Gentlemen will stay that way as long as the government allows it to whether sailors die or not.   If you believe that we've told the truth,   we beg you to make just laws to protect the lives of the men who serve our country on the sea.   We   we leave that city to you.  

[00:51:23] Unknown:

This investigation stands adjourned.   If there's third of all charges, attorney general free school of children, congress pass this law protecting merchant's fees.  

[00:51:43] Unknown:

You won't stay, mister Donald.  

[00:51:45] Unknown:

Not even for our wedding. I can hardly do that, mister Nicholas, now that I'm first made of the Hilton. We're way anchored tonight.   Well,   good luck to you both.   Thanks, Dennis.   I have your boy.  

[00:52:18] Unknown:

We have only one regret about tonight's play. That two years at sea must boil down to a single hour on the air.   But for that exciting hour, all our thanks to Alan Ladd, Howard Da Silva, McDonald Carey and Wanda Henry.  

[00:52:35] Unknown:

And Alan, a special thanks for your speedy return from New York to take part in tonight's play. I wouldn't have missed it Bill. You know the first picture I ever made was a three sixty. Small part, but it took a lot out of me. What did you do Alan? I got three sixty.  

[00:52:51] Unknown:

So realistically   if I recall   that you got the critics award war for that   performance. Howard for such a congenial personality in real life, you certainly make a most distasteful villain on the screen. Well, Bill you haven't seen anything yet. Will you see Seth will be the most unconquered?  

[00:53:06] Unknown:

What do you do in the 15 mister de jello? You see it's through Howard that Paul had Goddard gets tortured at the state.   Yep.   I even hate myself on that one.   So I understand you ought to see the premier in Pittsburgh as soon as you finish tonight's broadcast. That's right Alan. Well Alan I hope you treat Dorothy L'amour better in your new pylon picture wild harvest. I'd say Dorothy sees us pretty rough in that picture though. You in New York in connection with that picture, Allen? Now I was saying some location shots and doing some vacations.  

[00:53:34] Unknown:

I read if you attended the harvest moon bowl on your birthday. And 18,000 people saying happy birthday to you. 18,000  

[00:53:40] Unknown:

happy birthday. That's some sort of a record isn't it? Well it really gave me a self. Wanda here has a birthday coming up next week. You're nineteenth isn't it Wanda? That's right mister Keith. Well it's nice to know a woman who's so young she doesn't have to lie about her  

[00:53:54] Unknown:

age. Man with such a lovely complexion that is plain to use as like soap. Oh I do indeed mister Keeler and always will. That's such a wonderful complexion here. From a girl with a wonderful complexion,  

[00:54:05] Unknown:

that phrase indeed.   What are you presenting next week in this theater bill? Next Monday night we put the accent on suspense  

[00:54:12] Unknown:

with Universal International's   spine chilling hit, the web.   And our stars are Ella Raines, Edmund O'Brien  

[00:54:20] Unknown:

and Vincent Price. That was one of Vincent Price's

Most of us think of home as the safest place that we can be.   Yet the National Safety Council finds that two thirds of all accidental deaths in The United States occur at home through hazardous conditions and personal carelessness.   For your own sake and your family's,   check your home for such unsafe conditions as bad lights, dangerous stairways, cluttered rooms, and unprotected play space.   And cultivate habits of safe conduct, thoughtfulness, and reasonable caution.   Mcdonald Carey appeared by arrangement with Paramount Pictures and is currently appearing in Paramount's thirty six star production Variety Girl.   Wanda Hendrix appeared with the courtesy of Paramount Studios and is currently seen in Welcome Stranger starring Bing Crosby.
