Lux presents Hollywood the Lux Radio Theatre brings you Ronald Coleman and Susan Hayward in the Petrified Forest with Lawrence Tierney. Ladies and gentlemen your guest producer Mr. Thomas Mitchell. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. Top billing is the ambition of every actor and we're fortunate in having on our stage tonight a man who holds the long-distance record as a top star in motion pictures. I'll not forget that my first appearance before the camera was with Ronald Coleman in Lost Horizon. Perhaps one reason for his long record would be that he selects his material with care and that's why Ronnie is with us tonight in Robert Sherwood's exciting drama The Petrified Forest. He appears with that talented young actress Susan Hayward as the man and woman whom fate dramatically brings together in one of the strangest love stories of our time. An outstanding Broadway stage success The Petrified Forest takes place in the 1930s when Americans still throng the highways and the roadside tavern was the outpost of a restless nation a meeting place for every type of traveler from wealthy tourists to armed desperado and the armed desperado in our cast is the new RKO actor Lawrence Tierney who has just finished playing the title role in the screening of the Dylan Jet. We bring you tonight's play on the birthday of the father of the English theater William Shakespeare. Since Shakespeare's time of course the theater has grown immeasurably in scope and I dare say popularity. In fact you could find no better example than this stage of ours which raises its curtain every Monday night to an audience of many millions in return for their loyalty to Lux Flakes and if your attendance is rewarded and I hope it always will be by the best in Hollywood stars and plays I'm sure your loyalty to Lux Flakes is rewarded by longer life to precious fabrics and pleasanter easier ways to care for them. Well it's time for our curtain and the first act of petrified forest starring Ronald Coleman as Alan Squire and Susan Hayward as Gabby with Lawrence Tierney as Duke Mantis. Sprawling over a vast area in northeast Arizona there's a huge forest of trees that have turned to stone the petrified forest and a dozen or so miles away clumped on the edge of the desert there's a tiny oasis in all this wasteland it's called the Black Mesa barbecue and filling station. Lonesome and weather beaten still it's a living to old grandpa Maple and to the strangely attractive girl who stands behind the lunch counter is granddaughter Gabby. What's the matter don't you like the pie? Ah it's lousy. Oh yeah? You still got that engine cooking for you? Paul is okay so lay off or eat somewhere else. Hey Pop who's the big football hero out there? That's Bose helps me with the gas. Where are you boys heading? Straight down the road stringing wires. You think your work's tough? In my day you had to be tough. Paiutes of patches and plenty of white men with no love for their neighbors. Yes sir it was kill or be killed. Out of way Mr. Maple. Tell them about the time you took a shot at Billy the Kid. I didn't take no shot at the kid. He took a shot at me. Two shots. You see I was standing like this. Well Pop it's very interesting but we got to be going. Now what's the bad news Gabby? Fifty-five cents a piece. Fifty-five cents a piece. There you are. Even money. Be seeing you Mr. Maple. Paul again boys. I always enjoy talking to anybody in the telegraphing business. You always enjoy talking. Where you going Gramp? I need some cool air. Going for your walk Gramp?  Yeah maybe I'll do that yeah. I'm doing okay. Oh you heard what your grandpa said. What's bothering you Gabby? Don't you like me? No not a great deal. Ah that's okay seen as I've been at just a little while I haven't had a chance to get into my act. Hey what's that? It's a book and you wouldn't like it. How do you know how I feel about things? Poems! You're reading poems.  The shapely slender shoulders small long arms hands wrought in glorious wise. Oh romantic huh? I suspected right along all you need was a little encouragement. It's great poetry. I can think of a lot better ways to spend your time. Hey Bose. Yeah? Why do you always wear that football jersey number 42? Because I'm proud of it that's why why shouldn't I wear it? I forget it. Well I would have made All American that's all except I wasn't with a big team. You ought to see the newspaper clippings I got. What's an almost all American doing here working a gas pump? Well you can call me a sap if you want to Gabby but I guess I'm falling in love with you. Cool off Bose. If Graham comes back and sees you trying to make a pass you're gonna be out of a job. So what? Hey baby you didn't mean that about well about not liking me did you?  Enough for a kiss maybe? Cut it out Bose. I said cut it out. Good evening. Oh good evening sir. What can we do for you? May I order something to eat? Sure. Miss Maple here will take care of you. Don't you want to sit down sir? Thanks. Here's menu. Driven for? Ah I've been hitchhiking. Wonderful the progress you can make by wiggling your thumb. Now the menu says today's special barbecue. What's the barbecue? Well here it's a hamburger sandwich it's always today's special. It's pretty good. I want it and I'd like some soup and some beer and I'll order the dessert later. Okay. Another question where am I? This place is called Black Mesa but there's nothing else here. Just bumming along? I'll call it gypsy-ing. I had a vague idea I'd like to see the Pacific Ocean and perhaps drown in it but that depends.  Oh you might call me an American once removed but if you don't mind. Okay I'll get the soup. Thanks. Good evening. Enjoying your dinner? Excellent. Want your coffee? Charming young lady said she'd bring it right in. That's my granddaughter. I just been out for a walk. I'm at the sheriff. Can you give me this newspaper? Yes sir Denver Post and look six killed in Oklahoma City massacres. Duke Manti's Sergeant here's his picture. Duke Manti did he do that? Him and his friends. He doesn't look very vicious does he? Well you can't never tell a killer except by his chin. Now that's a funny thing. Killer always holds his chin in. Ever hear of Billy the Kid? Oh yes indeed. I knowed him well. Took a couple of shots at me once. I congratulate you on still being with us. Well it was kind of dark. He'd had a few drinks. Just wanted to scare the pants off in me. Here's your coffee. Thanks. Just set it down Gabby. You know you can go just so long without food. That's right. Been having some bad luck. Yep. No disgrace these days. What line working in Mr? None just now. At times I've been a writer. writer huh? What's your name? Alan Squire. Squire. No, can't say I ever heard of you. Well it says it's up as ready Graham. I like eating in the kitchen Mr. Squire. In there I can see what I'm getting. Pleased to have met you. Pleased to have met you sir. As a charming old gentleman you old grandfather. Yes. He told me he'd been missed by Billy the Kid. Poor grandpa tells everybody that. He gets pretty sick of him after a while. I met a writer once. Oh. Yeah he was on his way to the coast. Said I ought to go to Hollywood and look him up.  You want to go into the movies? There's nothing I want except to go to Borge. To where? Borge that's in France. Oh. You'd never guess it but that's where I came from. Are you French? Partly. I was born in Borge. But all I know about it is from the postcards my mother sends me. They've got a cathedral there. Is your mother in Borge? Mm-hmm. Yeah dad brought us back here in 1919 after the war. She stuck it out here in this desert for a couple of years and then she packed up and went back. Some people said it was cool of her to leave me but what could she do? She just couldn't live here and you can't blame her for that. She tried lots of times to get me over there to see her but while my father was alive he wouldn't allow it. And now? Well not so long ago she got married again to a Frenchman who was a bookstore and three kids. I thought maybe it wouldn't be right barging in on her now but I'd sure like to see her. Do you speak French? Only what you can learn in high school. Every birthday my mother used to send me a book but they were all in French. So last year I asked her if she'd mind sending me one in English. It's this book here, The Poems of Francois Lyon. Ever read it? Oh yes. That's wonderful poetry. My mother wrote something on the cover. I'm our Cher Petit Gabrielle. That means to my dear little Gabrielle. She gave me that name. Gabrielle. It's a beautiful name. Wouldn't you know to get changed into Gabby by these no good desert rats?  Yes. But you find solace in the poems of Francois Lyon. Well they get the smell of the gasoline and hamburger out of my system. Would you would you like to read me one of those poems Gabrielle? You mean now? Yes. While I'm finishing today's special. Okay I'll read you the one I like best. He wrote this about a friend of his who was getting married. At daybreak when the falcon claps his wings no wit for grief but noble heart held high with loud glad noisy stirs himself in spring and takes his meat and towards his Lord draws nigh. Did you ever see a falcon? Yes. What does it look like? Oh not very pleasant like a hawk and in a way it's like this man here. This picture is in the newspaper Duke Manti. Oh there were some Mexicans in the kitchen a while ago. They told Paula that Manti's heading this way. Won't you finish the poem? For sure. Such good I wish you. Yay and heartily. I'm fired with hope of true love's need to get. Knowing love writes it in his book for why this is the end for which we twain a myth. You know that's wonderful stuff. Wonderful. But that's the way the French people are. They can understand everything like life and love and death and they can enjoy it or laugh at it depending on how they feel. And that's why you want to go to France? For understanding? I will go there where there's something beautiful to look at and wine and dancing in the streets and happiness.  I've been to France. Writing books? No. No planning to write books. You see I married. My wife supported me. Oh please don't think too badly of me. I once actually wrote a book. I was 22 when I wrote it. It was very very stark. It sold slightly over 600 copies. It cost the publisher quite a lot of money and it also cost him his wife. You see she divorced him and married me. She saw in me a major artist who needed only a background to bring him out. She gave it to me with a fine view of the Mediterranean. Well for eight years I reclined on my background waiting for the major artist to step forth and write. But he didn't. And you've left your wife now? Yes. I'm glad you did. It was her own suggestion. She'd taken up with a Brazilian painter also a major artist. So I decided to go forth and discover America. What were you looking for? Well that's rather hard to say. Oh something to believe in I suppose. Something worth living for. Something worth dying for. And what have you found? Nothing so interesting as an old man who was missed by Bill of the Kid and a fair young lady who reads beyond. Well I do other things that might surprise you. Oh I'm sure you do. I wouldn't tell this to everybody but I paint pictures. Are they any good? Of course not. Could I see them? Oh I never let anybody see them I'd only get kidded they're kind of crazy. Oh please let me see them. Perhaps it's my mission to introduce you to posterity as an American genius. Are you kidding me. No no no Gabrielle I know I've never kidded anybody outside of myself. Okay but you've got a promise not to tell anybody. My word of honor for all its worth. I'll go get them. These others here are all desert scenes. Oh yeah. This one's a portrait. Oh. It's polar our Indian cook. Not much of a like this. Oh no I'm sure you didn't intend it to be. Tell me what what made you paint in this strange manner. It's just the way I feel.  No no I'm tremendously impressed and also bewildered. I bet I could improve if I get to France. They've got the finest art schools in the world there. There's beautiful things to paint. Well don't you don't you realize there are probably thousands of artists in France today who are saying I'd find a really big theme for my canvas if I could only get to Arizona. Yes I know they say the desert's full of mystery and it's haunted and well all that. Maybe it is but there's something in me that makes me want something different. I know there's something in you. I wish I could figure out what it is. Listen you've been to France. What are they like there. Frenchman are not like they once were. Well no one in Europe is.  No no especially not reckless. But they're always having a good time aren't they. Not invariably. Would you like to marry a Frenchman. I don't want to marry anybody. I want to be free always. Well how about number forty two. You know the stalwart used in the football jersey when I first came in he was. He was trying to kiss me. He's after me all right. Do you think he'll succeed. I haven't decided yet. What do you say. No no no no don't ask me Gabrielle no let your French blood guide you. It matters like that it's infallible. But you want to know something. You've seen a lot. I don't know anything. How can you say that you've got a lot of brains. Yep brains without purpose. Noise without sound shape without substance. I belong to a vanishing race. I'm one of the intellectuals who thought they'd conquered nature. The world's in a chaos and what's the reason. Who knows. I do. I'm probably the only living person who does now. It's nature hitting back. Or not with the old weapons of floods and plagues but fighting back with strange new weapons called neuroses. She's deliberately inflicting mankind for the jitters. Nature's annoyed. Taking the world away from the intellectuals and giving it back to the apes. She's. Forgive me Gabrielle and don't listen to me for all I know you may be an entirely different species. One of nature's own children and therefore able to understand her and laugh at her or enjoy her depending upon how you feel. And by the way the beer is excellent. Made in Phoenix.   And no wonder she fell for you in the first place. That sounds alarmingly like a compliment. It is a compliment. What did you say your first name is. Alan. Alan Squire. I've been calling you Gabrielle so you'd better. Where are you going from here Alan. That depends on where the road leads. It leads to the petrified forest. What's that.  Petrified forest. Suitable haven for me. Perhaps that's what I'm destined for. To make an interesting fossil for future study. Alan Squire a specimen of the in between age who was born too late for the Great War and too soon for the one that's coming. I see you've taken my advice you're not listening. I was just thinking. I'd like to go to France with you. I'm afraid I could never retrace my step. You mean you haven't enough money. Even that is an understatement. Well I haven't got enough either yet but I've got a lot coming to me someday. Are you are you proposing to me trying to turn me into a gigolo again. No it'll be different this time. Do you know how much Graham Scott sold it away in the bank at Santa Fe. Twenty two thousand dollars. He won't give me any of it now but it's all will to me. We might have to wait years for it. But if you'd only stay. You think you'd like me as a life companion. I know I would and I don't make mistakes. Wouldn't you like to be loved by me. Yes. Yes Gabrielle. I should like to be loved by you. You think I'm attractive. There are better words than that for what you are. Then say you'll stay I could have both fired and you haven't got anything else to do. That's just it. You couldn't live very long with the man who had nothing to do with worship you. That's a dull kind of love Gabrielle. The kind that makes people old too soon. I thank you for the suggestion. You give me something wonderful to think about during my lonely wandering. I'll think of the chimes of birds. And you. And the forest turned to stone. You mean you're going now. Yes. Well I can't stop you. No Gabrielle you can't but you can do me one great favor before I go. Would you mind very much if I kissed you goodbye. No I wouldn't mind. You understand that it would be nothing more. I'd understand it. It'd be just a kiss. That's all. That's absolutely all. Gabrielle I. So that's what's going on naked huh. Who do you think you are. He didn't get fresh. He didn't get fresh.  Yes the impulse is rather hard to explain. Pay a check and get out. How much do I owe Miss Maple. Thirty cents. Thirty cents. Is that all the eight thirty cents. Well that brings me to another embarrassment. I haven't got it. Well that's just fine isn't it. That's just great. But he got in your pack there. The shirt. Socks. The passport. Insurance policy. And a copy of the modern man in search of a soul.  Take your hand off him. Yes sir we'd like some gas and oil please. Get going. How many gallons or whatever it needs. Yes dear. Any idea how far we are from the Phoenix built more a good two hundred miles a good two hundred miles. That's just fine give the man a gasoline boat okay okay. Yes dear I know dear. Cigarettes well Miss Maple goodbye Alan wait a minute. Oh Mr. Say if you're going to Phoenix maybe you'd have room for my friend. Oh Mr. Squire he's on his way to the coast and well he hasn't got a car right now he's an author but really I guess you're a little suspicious what with Duke Manti on the loose and all that well well I guess it would be all right thank you thank you Miss Maple I remember your kindness I forgot to give you a change. A dollar. But I. But I wanted you to keep that take it please I can't very well pretend when you get to the Pacific Ocean send me some pictures will you I like pictures of water. Yes dear here you are Miss come along Mr. Squire I suppose I'll never see you again Gabrielle well that's the way it isn't a gas station they commonly go somehow or other I'll repay that dollar heaven knows when maybe we'll run into each other some day and. Yes yes good good bye Gabrielle. Bye Alan.   Well I'm not I am about being a little nice to me for a change. I'd like to be nice to you I'd like to be nice to everybody you can be Gabby how about you and me taking a walk around the Mesa you know what I've been doing I've been sitting here thinking what he said what do you say he said that what's wrong with the world is that we've been trying to fight nature he said we've got to admit that nature can't be beaten well isn't that exactly what I've been trying to tell you all along you and me a night like this we could really get acquainted baby. Sorry I'm not in the mood now how can you say that OK folks now just behave yourself and nobody will get hurt hey what's the idea put on that gun who's the boss my grandfather he's inside what do you
