Transcript

Speaker 1

The makers of Campbell's Bout with Him, the Campbell Playhouse Wars, and well, what.

Speaker 2

Is the.

Speaker 3

Good evening? It is often well.

Speaker 1

Last week, if you remember, I asked you to put yourself in the position of a certain Matt Dennant, who is the center of some interest.

Speaker 3

In this week's broadcast.

Speaker 1

I invited you to conceive of yourself as a decent young man. Just out of thinking the rest of your trousers. I sketched in for you the outlines of the scene to be played by yourself as this Matt Dennant and a certain lady played by Miss Wendy Berry.

Speaker 3

Then I said good night. We went off the air tonight. My better instincts.

Speaker 1

Obliged me to admit that, while there were no misrepresentations of.

Speaker 3

Facts, my whole appeal was.

Speaker 1

Designed simply and frankly to lure you back to the Campbell Playoffs. Probably my choice of Hi spots will not be yours. Perhaps I have led you to expect something between an Hallwood Spots and a Drury Lane melodrama. If so, you will be pleasantly surprised, because John Goldsworth is a escape in spite of it faintly catch penny title and even abetted by certain elements of undeniable adventures, is a

highly civilized high comedy. Indeed, in London theater audiences remember it for Nicholas Hannon's and Sir Jerrey Morier's death performances of Matt Dennis, and in New York, Lesley Howard made another of his very considerable successes in the same part. We shall strive to please, but you'll be glad to know that Wendy Berry has promised is here to help us. And now before escape and before Wendy Berry and est Chapels, mister Chapel.

Speaker 4

Thank you, orson Welles.

Speaker 1

If I were to ask each one of you to name aloud right now your favorite soup, and if I could hear your replies, I'm almost certain the soup that would top them all would be Campbell's Tomato Soup. The reason, of course, is the magic, matchless flavor of tomato soup, as Campbell's make it a flavor that speaks to have

the appetite. Watch a hungry man enjoy to the last drop the racy flavor of this smooth blend of luscious tomatoes, delicate seasonings and fine table butter set a fragrant plateful of Campbell's Tomato soup before a tired appetite, and see its lively tang take hold of that appetite from the very first slip, and the way a child and a spoon and the bright glowing bowl of Campbell's tomato soup

make friends is a delight to mothers. Indeed, because everybody from the youngest to the oldest in the family enjoys this soup so much, I'm tempted to call tomato, of all soups, the soup of the seven ages.

Speaker 3

It's always a happy choice for the main dish.

Speaker 1

At lunch or supper, a welcome beginning for the day's main meal. That's why Campbell's Tomato soup is the steady favorite with most families. The soup serves often and enjoyed. Always have it again soon, won't you? Perhaps tomorrow? And now our Campbell playoff's presentation of Escape with Wendy Berry and here is Dawson.

Speaker 3

Wells to set the scene.

Speaker 4

Our American version of The Golds where they play.

Speaker 3

The scene is New York.

Speaker 1

In New York, there's still a placer to where a civilized man can take his nightcap rather late it with leisure and without a flaw show. One of these is the grill room of the Plaza. Across from the Plaza the last of New York's almost extinct horse carriages, a brace of withering Victorias.

Speaker 4

Some of us still charter.

Speaker 1

These autumn nights when we'd like to take a girl around the park or smoke a pipe before turning. In the night of the Murderer, Matt Dennon found himself alone, and after a spot of something in the grill the pipes to smoke.

Speaker 3

And an urge to smoke it in the open air.

Speaker 1

He hired the dowdiest of these now the old Dowagers, and started off.

Speaker 3

That's where our story begins. Yes, were the everyone used to be. But I remember when I bought this there Elsie, the name.

But they try, you know, they do try, and always wanted what I'd do if I bumped into an escaped convict. Yes, you'd have quite a problem, there, wouldn't you? Out between the law and one's didn't prints as a gentleman. If it's a gentleman, like a whole conversation with a felon.

Speaker 4

What do you think?

Speaker 1

It seems to me anyone who tries to escape must have a lot of nerves.

Speaker 3

It's taking a long chance.

Speaker 1

Yes, I don't envy him. This is getting to be a pretty law abiding country these days. Evading the law isn't quite the glamorous thing.

Speaker 3

It used to be.

Speaker 1

Someone's probably appeal to me. I've done some escaping. My soul was that songs from school when I was.

Speaker 3

A boy ran away. That's right. I was ahead of them for two days before they caught up.

Speaker 1

Two days. Very interesting, good.

Speaker 3

Way to lose weight. Ever been on a raw potato?

Speaker 2

Dat?

Speaker 3

By the way, I hear convict go way Melsworth this day before yesterday? Yes, I saw that.

Speaker 4

Yes, well the name of Matt Dennis. I really scaped the time.

Speaker 1

Very interesting. I strike you don't believe I remember it? What that central part case? Oh?

Speaker 3

Yes, there was some girl they were trying to wrist. You know, in a case like that, they might wait till someone complain, don't you think.

Speaker 1

Well, technically, I suppose the detective were doing his duty, and yet in those cases there's always an element of doubt.

Speaker 3

The young man didn't complain.

Speaker 1

I think you have to remember father. I remember it said that he and the girl were having an intellectual conversation.

Speaker 3

That's right.

Speaker 4

I remember that as Segt.

Speaker 3

Thanks, I've got into a bad habit of coming out without the back home that thanks.

Speaker 1

As suppos one might run into that convict fellow in a minute, unless they've caught him.

Speaker 3

Do you a little like meeting a copperhead? We got a lot of them around here. Poor thing only wants to get away from you, And.

Speaker 1

Yet if you don't break us back into one, it'll bite something. I had two dogs die of snake mine. So it's a duty, perhaps, do you think so, Tody? Probably I don't always do mine?

Speaker 3

Oh don't you?

Speaker 1

Well, I'm glad of that need to do.

Speaker 3

I do you know that prison he got away from the dreary, sir, PRIs from the outside. I mean that was worth Yes, I know.

Speaker 1

And the fact is I've had the misfortune to send a good many people to prison in my time, And in those days I made a point of seeing a prison now and then, I remember I used to give my juries a past to go and see where they sent their fellow human beings. And out of a lot, how many do you think I had the curiosity? None?

Speaker 4

How'd you get.

Speaker 3

Who'd want to go into a prison?

Speaker 1

I just assume visit the more the bodies there aren't living. Anyway, you tell me, prisons are much improved nowadays. They've introduced a human feeling, have they splendid.

Speaker 4

What was the date of that? I mean, they don't shave their heads anymore?

Speaker 3

You know any convicts?

Speaker 4

I no, Well, yes, I know one?

Speaker 1

Really is he interesting?

Speaker 3

The most interesting man I know.

Speaker 1

And tell me suppose this man we were talking about this escape country suddenly it turned up here.

Speaker 3

What would you do? Run like a hare?

Speaker 4

Yes, I suppose it would depend.

Speaker 1

Partly on whether anyone else was around. Human nature is very sensitive. Do you like the climate? Hudson Valley has.

Speaker 4

Quite a reputation, overrated.

Speaker 3

I think been here before.

Speaker 1

No, this is my first business staying long, I hope not beautiful spot Lassy Point.

Speaker 3

I liked it better for up the river. Well, I think our call of the day anything wrong. You're not here, are you?

Speaker 1

I'm afraid I'll have to abandon the excellency guy who gave me. I've enjoyed it, but I'm.

Speaker 3

Smoking on a rather empty stumble.

Speaker 4

Oh yes, I know, best feeling.

Speaker 1

I got it one step before I was to speak at some sort of testimonial dinner. Tobacco must be one of the things you really miss in prison. And as I suppose, they get tobacco now and then though empty stomach too, I guess Yes.

Speaker 3

Here's another cigar. Try it later after you've eaten. I will, but you're passing my back. Thanks really going.

Speaker 4

Eh where I must be getting onto? It's been very pleasant.

Speaker 1

I have enjoyed our little talk. My time of life, one doesn't often get new sensation.

Speaker 3

What heaven have I given you any well?

Speaker 1

I don't remember ever having talked before to a man who'd escaped from school.

Speaker 3

Goodbye, sir, goodbye mister Dennant.

Speaker 1

Huh. I hope you have a pleasant journey, especially because no one seems to have noticed.

Speaker 3

The real chat. Would you mind telling me how you spotted me?

Speaker 4

Oh where you kept looking at your trout? Wopeishly, I think that's the word.

Speaker 1

Then, if you'll excuse me those type of trousers of yours that cotally goes so far down you know, I guess I hope you'd think I was the lead a.

Speaker 3

Fashion and there was another.

Speaker 1

Thing you're obvious sympathy for yourself.

Speaker 3

Yeah, that's a prison habit.

Speaker 1

You're not allowed to sympathize with other people for fear of contaminating them.

Speaker 3

So you sympathize with yourself. Before I got stand up, I don't remember ever feeling sorry for myself. Now, I doubt if I ever feel sorry for anyone else.

Speaker 4

It's very natural.

Speaker 3

Well, it's been most interesting because.

Speaker 1

Now you see, if I were to meet an escape convict, I know what I should do. Do you mind if I ask, well, mister Demmont, this time I say, this time, I wink the other eye. It's a good day, you, good day, thanks.

Speaker 3

From you. The moment I feel quite human again. You know that's been rather the effect on me.

Speaker 1

Well, good day. This is radio at ninety point seven w FVSM, New York. If you are listening to the Campbell Playoffs presentation of Escape, Starry Watson Wells.

Speaker 1

LID to Ernest Chapel, Ladies and gentlemen, welcoming you back to the Campbell Playhouse. In a moment, we will resume our presentation of Escape for just a moment. Now I'd like to talk about another kind of escape, I mean, the happy escape for mother from so many of the labors of the kitchen. Time was, and it was only yesterday when Mother all but lived in the kitchen. She had to do so in order that her family might

have tempting and wholesome dishes. Soup making in particular was a long and tedious family need, and so she patiently devoted herself to her soup kettle. Today times have changed, the home soup kettle is more and more going the way of the candle mold and the spinning wheel.

Speaker 3

As women everywhere have tried.

Speaker 1

Campbell's soups, They've tasted these soups of candles and realized that they are indeed made the true homeway, delicious and wholesome and nourishing. Women have watched their families enjoy them, and they've heard their husbands say, there's just.

Speaker 3

No sense either are going to all the bother of making soup anymore, not when.

Speaker 1

We can buy such fine soups disease. And so I'd like to invite you, if you haven't already done so, to try some of the twenty one tempting Campbell soups. Try, for instance, Campbell's Chicken Soup for its rich chicken flavor. Or try Campbell's Vegetable Soup with its hearty beef stock and fifteen different garden vegetables if you will. I'm pretty sure that when your family tastes.

Speaker 4

Them, they'll say to you too.

Speaker 1

I don't know where I'll go now, wait, close the door.

Speaker 3

I think I read about you. You're that Matt Dennis. Yes, poor fellow. I didn't mean to kill him. I've been sorry. Where have you come from?

Speaker 4

Who was chasing you?

Speaker 3

Farm down? A great contain farmer to hired hands a stake tub.

Speaker 1

The Lord knows?

Speaker 3

Who are my oparishioners.

Speaker 1

That you came to me for.

Speaker 3

Thanktual, thank you? Mind I wonder this is a situation I've never had to face, mister Dennim you just let me rest of it, That's all I'll ask, of course, sit, thank you. I locked the door, not that window. Oh no, no, they can't see him. I expect you're hungry too.

Speaker 4

No thanks, I'm beyond it, you know that feeling.

Speaker 3

No, I'm afraid we of the church lead to regular lines.

Speaker 1

Poor father, how does it look? Can you give me up? There's one man to another.

Speaker 3

Who am I to give you up? I can't help you to escape, but if you want rest, you're welcome.

Speaker 1

Wonder what our Lord would have done for that, Mister Dennis is the hardest preaching in the world.

Speaker 4

Nobody ever knows. Very tired.

Speaker 3

I never thought long to feel such. I have a little brandy here. Sometimes someone gets saint church. Thank you, Yeah, drink it down.

Speaker 1

Thanks, I do, mind you, I wonder if you return this fast form. It's empty and here's the address herat the La Coup. You might say, with unending.

Speaker 3

Gratitude, but please don't give that name away. I'll see to it.

Speaker 1

What made you escape and stick up Bob jat nccage and open the door.

Speaker 3

I'm mistaken to see what happens. Yes, I know what you're thinking. I've done my time and more. If you have a fair trial, you can't try bad luck home bad well. I oughtn't to have hit him, of course, but for an orderly knock out six weeks or something like that. About you get I got five years because of a railing. If you're quiet in your own mind.

Speaker 1

That's the only pay yountn't worry if I'll be caught, all right, I'm not worrying about that.

Speaker 3

What bothers me is my own piece of mind. I don't like the thoughts that keep rising in your op parishioners. Ah, yes, when you've gone, Shall I be entitled? Who have been silent about you? Without telling them that I've been silent? Am I entitled to refrain from helping the law without letting my parishioners know it? And if I let them know it, can I keep what little influence I now possess.

Speaker 1

It is right for a priest to go on where he.

Speaker 3

Has no influence. But that's my trouble, mister Dennis. I say I hear who is that? No, Thomas, I'm busy now. I can't let anyone into the church. Will service time my sex, hospitality demarg.

Speaker 1

Shan'ner good, fam, I don't want to be on your conscience.

Speaker 3

I'll be moving. No, wait, I'll have vestors in a few minutes. There will only be a few gathered together that I'm afraid you can rest in the vestry through the service.

Speaker 1

Nobody comes here, thanksfully, all right, I'll go and take my chance again.

Speaker 3

It's dark now, and I don't like to give up. I'll give them another run in decotiny open. You might give me your blessing. I'm not certain enough of myself. Not certain. It takes supticious police to give a blessing a real thing this time?

Speaker 1

What is it? Who is it?

Speaker 3

I give up on it. Get behind those coats and.

Speaker 2

The propp.

Speaker 1

Sorry, it's about that escape convict. I told you, Thomas, I could see no until after vests.

Speaker 3

I know, father, I know that it's this officer here. Thought you ought to be told. I saw a man coming in here a while back, the escaped convict fatherow.

Speaker 1

This man says he found him in a haystack on the South Mountain road, but.

Speaker 3

He gave him a slip and he came in here.

Speaker 1

You've been here long, honey, ah a please, Lord's lock, but I haven't done the side.

Speaker 3

Sure he's not in tide the church.

Speaker 1

I don't know whether you have the right to chearch a holy place, but but look for yourself as quietly as you can. Please, look you go with him to it?

Speaker 3

Then I suppose that concreet quite all right? Yes, father, quick? So he used to coming back? Oh, Pomplin looked already.

Speaker 1

Speaker 3

Yes, I understand.

Speaker 1

All right, Hey, just a minute, you're part of my asking father, Are you certain you haven't seen this man?

Speaker 3

What is it you're asking me?

Speaker 1

Father? I am asking you, on your honor as a Christian, whether or not you've seen the escape convict.

Speaker 3

He hasn't. Sorry, Father, I was hidden in there. I give up. Office said okay, but we.

Speaker 1

Weren't looking here.
