Lux presents Hollywood Leaper Brothers Company the makers of Lux Flakes bring you the Lux Radio Theater Starring Charles Boyer and Madeleine Carroll in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir Ladies and gentlemen your producer mr. William Keely Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen In the December readers digest you may have been interested to read as I was of the current revival of ghosts in England Unlike most Americans the English tend not only to believe in ghosts But to cherish them as an indispensable part of British life Tonight we ourselves present a very fascinating spirit in 20th century Fox's screen success the ghost and Mrs. Muir Our stars in this unusual romantic drama are Charles Boyer and lovely Madeleine Carroll Madeleine making her first Hollywood appearance since her distinguished record overseas While people say that seeing is believing. I'm not quite sure that that applies to ghosts Truly, you generally can't see them But you can often trace the results they have on people's lives as in our play tonight In the same way you can't see the qualities in Lux Flakes But you can certainly see the results both in the way Lux keeps those precious fabrics looking lovely longer And also the way it brightens the lives of busy housewives everywhere On to the first act of the ghost and Mrs. Muir starring Charles Boyer as Captain Greg and Madeleine Carroll as Lucy Muir Some 50 years ago in London a young and handsome widow Lucy Muir Left the home of the mother and sister of her departed husband and boarded a train With her went her small daughter Anna and a servant named Martha There the little one to sleep now mom. Maybe now you can tell me where we're going. You've been very patient with me Martha. I Suppose we are running away.  That will be enough Martha.  Coons. He has several houses for rent There must be one we can afford at least we'll be by ourselves good for you mom good for you We should be there soon We'll stay at the end till mr. Coons finds the house we want. Yes, ma'am. Oh, Martha. I know I'm doing right. I know Say mrs. Muir that you'll find no better home in white cliff than the Burnham Mount. It's newly built It's near the village and I can't understand why you won't show me girl cottage The description in your file is most intriguing. Oh, believe me madam girl cottage wouldn't suit you at all I suppose there's something wrong with it. Is it the drains? Well, I put up a house for rent mrs. Muir You may be sure there's nothing wrong with the drains. Then why shouldn't it suit me? Oh, will you kindly allow me to be the judge of that now about this time going to live in the house? I should be the judge mr. Coons I'm sure there's another agency in white cliff. Perhaps they have girl cottage listed also very well mrs. Muir Come I'll show you girl Well, you wanted to see girl cottage and I've shown you girl cottage now we can leave it's lovely and so close to The ocean and so far from a neighbor. I can't understand it. Why should a house like this remain empty? Well, it's been without a tenant for four years. Of course. It's terribly dusty, but mrs. Muir Who's that in there there in it's a portrait a portrait on the wall Oh, oh that yes the former owner captain Greg the room so dark for a moment. I thought it was someone real Well a sea captain that explains a scheme of decoration, doesn't it? Which is all in frightful taste. Oh, it's a delightful room mrs. Muir. I assure you this house will not suit you at all Nevertheless, I shall go upstairs There are only three rooms upstairs. They're all bedrooms at the main bedroom. It's quite ugly. It's draft.  He liked to watch the passing ships as I shall too, mr. Coombs, I suppose you have a reason for disliking this place so intensely, but I could become very fond of it Mr. Coombs, maybe now you know my reason Well, you would come I didn't want to show it to you but oh, no you had to see it Haunted how perfectly fascinating eight times. I've rented it eight times the tenants have left after the very first night What a pity mr. Coombs That laughter that was captain gray. It was indeed, but why does he haunt was he murdered he committed suicide?  Coombs Please arrange for us to move in tomorrow Time is it mama way past sleepy time Anna darling no more stories tonight No off to sleep with you. I love it here mama our own house and our own ocean Even the rain sounds different than the rain in London That's because we are so close to the sea darling You're not afraid of the storm are you? Why should I be afraid of course? We're snug and warm in our own little harbor Good night darling All tucked in is she mum she'll be asleep in two minutes me too mum Oh your hot water bottles downstairs mum on the kitchen table and the kettles on the stove Thank you, Martha It's storming out there for fair ain't it? I don't mind saying it's a bit scary like Martha a strange house and all in not a soul in a mile of us. Oh go to sleep silly I'll be up in a minute Why should Martha turn out the kitchen light you've got it candle light it What nonsense is this now now I'm hearing voices like mr. Coombs With these matches. It's not the matches. It's Very well captain Greg. I know you're here Are you afraid to speak up? Is that all you're good for to to frighten women? Well, I'm not afraid of you light the candle light it. How can I when you keep blowing out the matches light the blasted candle?  I'm sorry.  I I didn't mean to embarrass you embarrass me I mean because of the way you died what the way I died madam Committing suicide who the devil said I committed suicide mr.   Yes. Yes, I suppose so well the coroner's jury said it was suicide Because my blasted char woman Testified I'd always slept with my windows open. How the devil should she know how I slept. Oh, I'm so glad You have a strange sense of humor madam. I mean because you didn't commit suicide But if you didn't why do you haunt because I have plans for my house We do not include a buck of strangers making themselves at home I think it's very childish of you frightening people. Well in your case. I'll admit I Chartered the course with regret. You're not a bad-looking woman. You know, especially when you were asleep So you were in my room this afternoon while I was napping my room madam And I thought I dreamed it all but I knew I'd close the window and when I woke I found it open I opened the window because I didn't want another accident with a blasted gas I'm quite capable of taking care of myself good And you will break your gear and shove off tomorrow Preferably the first thing in the morning. I will not go the house suits me perfectly It's my house madam and I intend to turn it into a home for retired seaman, and you should have said so in your will I didn't leave a will why not because I did not expect to kick the blaster gas on with my blasted foot. I Won't be shouted at for one year. I've been shouted at and ordered a burden and I'm sick of it Temper all laugh dad either. I won't leave this house I won't I believe that stop that blasted blabbering madam. Oh, I love this house. I I can't explain it It was as if the house itself were welcoming me asking me to rescue it from being so empty You can't understand that can you all right? Then I'm a silly woman, but that's the way I feel So you love the house. Well, I admit that's a point and you did not frighten like the others That's a point too. All right, you must stay here madam, but on trial. Oh, thank you captain Grimm keep your distance woman I'm sorry. You made me so happy. No intention of making you happy. I merely want to do what's best for the house Then you'll go away and leave us alone. I will not go away. Why should I? Because of my child. I don't want her frightened into fit But I never frightened children into fits but think of the bad language. She'd learned all confounded madam My language is most controlled. Well Anna is much too young to see goes. Oh very well. I'll make a bargain with you Leave my bedroom as it is and I'll promise not to go in any other room in the house Then your brat and your servant need never know anything about me But if you keep the best bedroom, where should I sleep in the best bedroom? But oh in heaven's name madam. I am a spirit. I have no body. I Haven't had one in four years. Is that clear? But I can see you no no no all you see is an illusion like a blasted lantern slide It's not very convincing, but I suppose it's all right. Oh, it was was a fool for a helpless woman I am not helpless. Oh, well if you're so confoundedly competent You'll notice that your kettle is about to boil over. Oh, so it is. Thank you. Ah one thing more There's a portrait of me in the living room. I want you to removed to the bedroom must I It's a very poor painting. It's my painting. I did not invite your criticism Well, I only meant it doesn't do you justice. It's all right. All right. I tend to your hot water bottle What a sorry substitute good night. Good night. Good night, miss Good afternoon. It's about time you came upstairs You're waiting for ours. Why I agree to see you only in this room You'll talk to me like a gentleman captain Greg or I'll go straight downstairs Would have never said you could chop down my tree out there. I ordered it chopped out But thank you don't matter my I plundered that tree with my own two hands. Think how much prettier your garden will look with a rose bed I detest roses. I hope the whole blasted bed dies of blight Captain Greg if you insist on haunting me you might at least be more agreeable about it Why should I be agreeable? Well as long as we are living together I mean if we had to be thrown together so much Life's too short to be forever barking at each other. Your life may be short madam But I have an unlimited time at my disposal Then say something pleasant for a change. Well, that's a pretty dress you have on Thank you much better than smothering yourself in all that black crepe I happen to have been wearing mourning for my husband whom you didn't love How dare you say that because it's true.  That's not what I've heard about sailors see men confound it Sailor sailor is a land lover's word now. Why did you marry him? Edwin? I I don't really know He seems so romantic. Hmm, but it was different afterwards. Hmm. Did he beat you? Oh, no poor Edwin never really did anything He was an architect, but not a very good one. I'm afraid he couldn't have designed a house like this Who did design it? I did of course It reminds me of something an Old song or or a poem magic casements Opening on the foam of Baylor seas in fair lands for loan Strange to find a sea captain quoting Keith. Oh, life can go slow at sea plenty of time for reading in the off-watches How wonderful it must be reading lyric poetry up in the crow's nest with a sheet belling in the wind See is blasted old madam. The sheet is a line a rope ropes can't belly I don't know anything about the sea except that it's romantic. That's what all landsmen think seaman no better Then why do they go to sea? Oh because they haven't got enough sense to stay home Like those two women at the front door. What two women look out the window. Oh No, who are they my blasted in laws? And Martha sure to send them up here. Well, well, what do you want of me? Well do something hide go away and decompose Dematerialize madam, but whatever it is do it quickly. They're on the stairs Oh, no fear they can't hear or see me unless I choose that they should oh, then please don't choose I'll get rid of them. Why don't you let me? You know, I've had considerable experience. No, you're not to do anything Talking to yourself. Oh my poor Lucy. So pale so fragile Madam you're Eva.  Well, that's up to you Oh Lucy, we have such bad news the gold shares your entire income. What about the gold shares? They're worthless the mine is closed down. No more dividends Lucy. It was all in this morning's newspaper So we've come to take you and Anna back home with us Even you're sure of this of course. No, don't make a scene in front of these swabs. I don't intend to make a scene Oh, of course, you don't you're my brave little girl Please mother Muir make her stop that catawalling or by Judas. I will take a hand. You keep out of this Lucy How can you talk to me like that? Oh blast. Eva did you hear what she said? Yes, mother I heard now stop snivelling, but I didn't mean you then just whom did you mean you're acting in a most peculiar fashion Lucy Obviously this dreadful place has preyed on your mind That's in your belfry Down what I mean. I I want to think but why with your income gone You'll have to come home with us. Don't do it Lucy. Do you want me to stay? Yes? Lucy are you out of your mind? You really mean it? Of course. I mean it Lucy Lucy I'm sorry mother. It's very kind of you, but I'm going to stay.  I I want nothing more to do with her. Well, you don't have to push me mother. I'm going Eva I'm not pushing you stop it mother. Please, but I'm not touching you Eva I'm out on the balcony Are you well? I've had just about all of this. I'm going to stand stop talking in riddles two days ago You shove those poor women out of this house Squealing like a couple of pigs that wasn't enough was it? What do you mean by pushing mr. Coombs down the stairs just now? I only hope that when I reach the afterlife, I'll have a little more dignity dignity You call it dignified throwing yourself at a herring gutted swab like Coombs I asked mr. Coombs here because he's the logical man to help me find lodges for the summer Lodges. Oh, oh, I made a mistake. Oh, forgive me my dear. I thought you wanted to sign Coombs on for a husband Mr. Coombs that walrus My experience that women will do anything for money And now you and your blasted experience have ruined everything. Why I could not allow lodges in any case They're worse than passengers at sea It's them or star not at all. I've solved your problem madam You're going to write a book book.  It's all I can do to write a postcard But I can write a book and you can put it down on paper for me What sort of a book the story of my life right and swash this Right and swash by by captain X I don't think that's at all a nice title. It's not meant to be it's meant to be sensational like the subject But it takes months to write a book. What are we to live on in the meantime?  Will you understand you're trying to claw off a leash or you can't afford to be squeamish I do understand and and don't swear at all right and be sensible now Since we're going to be collaborators You may call me Daniel. That's very good of you and I shall call you Lucia My name is Lucy. No, no doesn't do you justice my dear women and Lucy are always being imposed upon but Lucia Now there is a name for a namazole for a queen. I Don't feel much like a queen. I feel frightened and confused Martha and I could always get along, but it's my baby. It's Anna. Well, don't you trust me? Oh, I do Daniel when I'm talking to you But when you're not here, I Well, it's it's asking a great deal to expect anyone to entrust our whole future To someone who isn't real, but I am real Lucia I'm here because you believe I'm here Keep on believing and I'll always be real to you Yes, get into town and pawn your blasted jury and don't come back without a typewriter Ah Yes blood and swash by Captain X That too of the ghost and mrs. Muir will continue in a moment Libby, have you any romantic tidbits for our audience tonight? Well, it's not a big name story, mr. Kennedy But a very unusual real wedding took place on the set of my wild Irish rose during the last week of shooting Oh, who were the lucky people two of the dancers in this fabulous new musical of Warner Brothers And just imagine Andrea King was the matron of honor She looked almost like a bride herself and hand embroidered white batista It was one of the costumes she wears in the picture and the best man Dennis Morgan Andrea's romantic leading man In fact, the entire cast of my wild Irish rose came as guests and they looked very colorful on their Celtic costumes Did the bride wear something old something new something borrowed something blue and Andrea saw to the new She gave her some gossamer sheer nylons with embroidered clocks of tiny seed pearls. You mean to wear Why certainly Andrea told her just to luxe them and they'd wear beautifully And I'm sure that's true because luxe flakes are so gentle even the sheerest nylons last twice as long You're absolutely right Libby those famous strain tests proved it Runs came sooner when stockings were washed with strong soap or rubbed with cake soap all kinds of stockings Nylons silk rayon and cotton lasted twice as long when they were washed with luxe flakes That's just like getting an extra pair of stockings every time you buy a pair and remember girls Luxe care prolongs the wear of everyday stockings as well as super shears So luxe them after every wearing Luxe stockings last twice as long We return you now to William Keely act two of the ghost and mrs. Muir Starring Charles Boyer as Captain Greg and Madeleine Carroll as Lucy Summer has come to whitecliff by the sea But there's no clamor of lodgers in girl cottage Instead week after week the constant platter of a typewriter as the ghost of Captain Daniel Greg Dictates the vivid story of his life to Lucy Muir well Why have you stopped typing you didn't finish the sentence It's it's that awful word Daniel. Well, it's a perfectly good word. I think it's a horrible word It means what it says doesn't it all too clearly? Oh hang it all Lucia if you're going to be produce will never get the book finished Now where was I upstairs? Yes? Yes, sir the customs of Marseille Different to any on any. Oh cares. This is not a blast literary epic It is the unvarnished story of a seaman's life. It certainly is unvarnished. All right All right smear on some varnished and but leave the guts in it. I Think there should be a chapter about your boyhood your school days never went to school I was educated by the vicar poor man. You must have had a dreadful time Oh, I suppose you were a model of all the virtues at 12 Certainly I was and Anna shall be the same and I is not fat as you probably were I wasn't fat I was skinny still worse hair ribbons and a thousand freckles probably I notice you still have freckles very few And I've been told they're quite becoming. Hmm. Let me see Yeah Good heavens the time. I get some sleep. We'll put in a full day tomorrow.   They know I'm busy writing a book, but that's all You've been very thoughtful about keeping your promise not to to disturb them madam. I'm a man of my word and what words Daniel what did your aunt do when you ran away to see? Oh Thank heaven probably that there was no one around to fill our house with mongrel dogs and track mad on her carpets Did she write to you every Sunday for seven years. I was at sea when she died What are you thinking how lonely she must have been with her silent empty house and her clean carpets? Good night, Lucia Devil with your dawdling Lucia, but I'm so tired I sent us so to and the book is all finished. I can't see straight or think straight You don't have to think just write this down Do all who follow the hard and honorable profession of the sea? To the after-guard masters mates and engineers To able-bodied and ordinary seaman to stoker's carpenter's sale makers and sea cooks. I Dedicate this volume the end the end Well tomorrow you take it to the publishers Why did you write the book Daniel? It wasn't merely to save the house for me partly that and partly to help people understand Those poor devils who go to see for want of a better sense Well now about the publishers you'll go to Tackett and Sproul in Gretzmith Street. Yes, now be sure you see Sproul You once came in fourth in your trace Francis himself a seafaring man Daniel I Hmm What's to become of us? You and me well nothing's to become of me Everything's happened that can happen. Have you forgotten how many illusion such an earthy illusion When we were writing the book I was happy, but now when I try to think of the future. It's It's all dark and confused Like that fog out there tonight. Oh, you've been working too hard Couped up in the house too long, but I love it here Yes, but you should be out in the world meeting people seeing man I have no desire to see man Confounded you should you know you you are a very attractive woman. You owe it to yourself Yes, Daniel. Take the early train Lucia. Tackett and Sproul Gretzmith Street Impossible madam you can't see mr. Sproul without an appointment, but I have a manuscript here, and I'm sure a cookbook perhaps Gardening another life of Byron. Oh Really, Mrs. Muir. Oh Well, I'll mail you a notice when mr. Sproul can see you probably next month. Thank you surely You're not leaving Mrs. Mrs. Muir. I have no appointment. Then you shall have mine, but mr. Fairley. Oh, it's all right Albert. Just tell old Sproul I wouldn't wait well Aren't you going to thank me? It's very good of you, but but I'm afraid I can't accept you're a very beautiful creature I can do no less than insist that you take my appointment Well, Mrs. Muir, are you going in or shall I carry you in?   I I don't know what you're talking about mr. Sproul I distinctly heard and such a nice-looking woman, too Mr. Sproul, please this book it isn't what you think it is at all. It's it's the Unvarnished record of a sailor's I mean seaman's life seaman What could you know about seaman or a great deal? Believe me? Hmm unvarnished to say shamefully so.   Sproul must be starving Oh, I pitched the matriarch lunch some time ago. Hmm. I'll wait Albert. I'll wait Mrs. Muir, this is quite a book. Thank you. You're not going to pretend that you wrote it. No. Oh, no It's a man's book and what a man Captain X I'd like very much to meet him. Oh, I'm afraid that's impossible He he's away. Oh a voyage, of course. Yes a very long boy. Oh, bless my soul. What a story We shall publish it of course. Mrs. Muir. You just leave everything to me and Be happy that you know such a man. There aren't many like him these days. You appreciate that I think I do mr. Sproul and thank you very much Got so stuffy upstairs. I thought I'd wait for you down here mr. Fairley quite an appointment you had wasn't it? But it's pouring now and you haven't an umbrella. I'm quite capable of finding a cab. Oh now please I deserve a minute, don't I? Dear me, I certainly didn't bargain for this blasted rain. As you said you could find a cab Ruined your hat though, wouldn't it? Now if you asked me nicely Please would you mind? You're smiling. I'll be right back But why why shouldn't I ride to the station with you? Perhaps I too must catch a train I don't believe it really mr. Fairley the sheer brass the word you're looking for is brass exactly Still anyway, I should be grateful to you. You see mr. Sproul has agreed to publish my book You always had a weakness for feminine literature. Well, this book might surprise you It's surprising enough to find a lady author infinitely more exciting than her heroine could possibly be I assume you also write mr. Fairley. Uh, yes, uh Children's books forgive me mrs. Muir, but uh, I am uncle nedy Uncle nedy Ridiculous, isn't it? Why you're adored by half the children in the world. Oh, I love the little monsters My little girl is not a monster. I shall make an exception then. I look forward to meeting her mrs.  I'm not sorry at all as a matter of fact. I'm Uh, well, uh your book.  I thought he said he had to catch a train too I rather think he only wanted to ride to the station with me The way he was smirking at you like a cat at a fishmonger's I found him rather charming Other charming now you're starting to talk like him. Well, how in blue blazes you want me to talk has better I think you're being extremely childish. You should have pushed him out of the cab In another minute. I would have Daniel why I believe you're jealous. Well, of course. I'm not jealous Jealousy is a disease of the flesh. I haven't had any flesh for years I've never known you to be more disagreeable And today of all days. Yes prouds bought the book Yes, and now I can buy the house just as we planned. I'm not so sure I want you to have the house after all I wish you'd stop this sulking You said yourself that I that I should see men. Yes. I said men not a perfume pencil pusher Anyway, I I shall never see him again. Well, that's what you think Where are you going? I'm disappearing always hated trains. Anyway, I'll see you later, madam Where's Anna? She's in the orchard with uncle nedy, but I didn't expect him till tea time every day this week He's cold. I can't be rude to him Martha. I can He's out there painting a picture. How exciting Whenever you're ready, we'll have tea in the garden. Yes, ma'am I'd like your little girl lucy. She's very wise. For instance How did she ever guess I wanted to be alone with you if you bribed her to go away? Aren't you interested in what I was painting before? You're quite accomplished, aren't you? I should think being uncle nedy would satisfy anyone. No, I also paint Uh under the name of runwa Oh, you're such a fool, Miles. You know, that's quite the nicest thing you've ever said to me And what if anything do you do as miles fairly specifically? I behave quite idiotically towards A young lady that I fell in love with In a publisher's office Miles, please lucy am I being unforgivably offensive? It's just that I'm Well, I I I don't quite know what to say. Then say nothing. Take a look at this canvas Why It's me You've been painting me in my in my bathing costume. Mm-hmm every morning. I've watched you and Anna on the beach Not too bad, is it? It's very flattering really lucy darling. It would take a thousand runwa's to Shouldn't have done that. You shouldn't have kissed me. That was unforgivable, wasn't it? I shall not go away even if you send me and I shall see you again Even though you forbid it. I'm sure I I have no control over where you go or what you do. Then you won't forbid it Miles, please If you do want to see me go away now Yes, lucy if you wanted my darling No wonder you wanted to plant a rose garden here Daniel perfect sitting to be kissed in You've been spying on me again. No merely happened to be haunting to be sent at him Why did you let him?  That's nothing but masculine conceit. Well now what happens? Miles fairly is staying at the inn in the village as well, you know He'll either remain there or go away. It doesn't matter to me one way or the other I think it matters more than you'll admit. Well, then why bother to ask me? You seem to know my mind better than I do He puts brilliant in on his hair Most men do you can find an excuse for everything only because you're attacking him I know I know it's a natural human reaction. Oh, I wish you wouldn't be so superior just because you're Not alive and he is yes very much so. It's no crime to be alive. No No, my dear no Only sometimes it's a a great inconvenience The living can be hurt. I don't intend to be hurt But if I'm to go about in the world as you said it Well, it will mean taking risks and real happiness is worth almost any risk Well Watch your soundings luchiere I will Daniel I only wish you all alone in the garden Oh Have some tea mother. What that's odd now. I swear. I heard you talking Is uncle net he's still about no, he's gone. Mom. It's none of my business. But what's he up to? I rather think he's going to ask me to marry him and you'd be willing to I might Why shouldn't I because he ain't good enough for you. That's why not He's the kind of man no decent woman would associate with Martha. I've got a right to my feelings woman. I've got a feeling about him Oh, I'm sorry. It's it's just that I've been so worried about you lately, mom Don't worry Martha. I know he isn't perfect. But But he's real real I thought I was impervious to emotion But I'm not I need companionship and laughter and And all the things a woman needs. Well, I hope he could give them to you. I I'll go fetch anamom excuse me Well, Daniel Haven't you anything to say Let's see in the moonlight lucy and a warm summer night I could stay here forever my darling. I've never felt like this before my Hmm. How do you feel? I don't know Like looking down from high up All dizzy and And unsure you won't fall. I'll hold you It isn't right It can't be to feel like this. It is right because you're happy I should go back to the house. It's it's Anna's bed. Oh, just this one night. Can't you pretend you're forgotten? My is what's wrong darling. I'm jealous Or a little girl She's my daughter. I can't forget when you're with me.  Can you hear me? Hmm. I sleep, huh? I thought you were one woman with sense But you're like all the rest of them Lucia wake up. I'm talking to you Blast it all. I said it but No, sleep on Lucia sleep. I should have known You've made your choice the only choice you could make You've chosen life and that is as it should be whatever the reckoning That's why I must go away. I can't help you now Lucia Listen to me. Listen my dear You've been dreaming Even now you are dreaming Dreaming of a sea captain that haunted this house Of talks you've had with him Even a book you both wrote together, but you you wrote the book Lucia You and no one else A book you imagine from this house and from that portrait on the wall Now it's been a dream And in the years to come you'll remember it only as a dream And it will die As old dreams die At waking But how you would have loved the north cape and the fjords in the midnight sun Where the blue water rushes into green the forklands Where is southerly gale wipes the whole sea white as snow Ah what we both have missed Lucia What we both have missed Goodbye Lucia Goodbye My darling We pause now for station identification. This is CBS the columbia broadcasting system Before we bring you act three of the ghost and mrs. Muir I want to introduce a delightful young lady whom 20th century fox has recently added to his roster of young talent Miss jane nye In fact, jane is so photogenic that a portrait of her won her a screen test Have you met any of the top ranking stars yet jane? Yes, jone crawford I met her the first day she started work on daisy kenyon Oh, that's a picture jone was keen to play in from the moment she read the book And she was wonderful in the love scenes with dana andrews Yeah, jone knows how to get dramatic value out of a scene too Like the later scenes in daisy kenyon when she's married to henry fonder and she always looks so lovely I was on the set one day when her stand-in was posing in some lovely Lagerie similar to jones cost less delicate versions. I'm sure yes, but even these were lovely I could hardly believe it when the stand-in told me they had already been luxe a number of times And the jones even lovelier things get luxe too, but john kennedy ought to be interested in that I am jane, but it's not surprising Leading hollywood studios specify gentle luxe care for everything washable because it's so safe Well, I've been a luxe fan for years myself as a matter of fact jane Luxe under things stay lovely three times as long A scientific laboratory took a number of identical slips in 90s and washed them two ways One set with a strong soap the others the luxe way It wasn't long before those washed with strong soap looked faded and drab But the luxe ones stayed lovely three times as long. Well, that's a big help to any girl's budget Right And that means you can have three times as many pretty undies without spending any more Because instead of just replacing worn out faded ones you can buy extra undies and have three times as many Thank you, jane knife for being here tonight Back now to our producer william kealy Act three of the ghost and mrs. Muir with charles boye as captain greg and madeline carol as lucy The coming of miles fairly into the life of lucy muir has marked the passing of the ghost of captain gray But lucy is scarcely noticed his disappearance in her love for her handsome suitor And the excitement over the success of the book called blood and swash Imagine it martha a check for 200 pounds for mr. Sproul another 200 pounds for that awful book Lummi mom's such language and mr. Sproul wants me to go to london immediately some more papers to sign Don't you worry about n and me, but I can't possibly go to london. Mr. Fairley's coming. We're having a picnic.

Oh, tell me now. I'd love to hear about them But I can't remember them very well Just bits and pieces of a phrase here and there a look I think I dreamed most of that book I wrote I must have I never could have thought of it All these years I've tried to remember but but I can't Do you know what I think? I think you fell in love with him too. I did nothing of the sort I wouldn't blame you if you had when did you stop seeing him after about a year? I dreamed we quarreled It was about a man uncle neddy Anna. You knew that miles fairly and I used to pray you wouldn't marry him And you were so right I saw him five years ago at a dinner party bold and fat and drinking too much and he cried It seems his wife finally had enough and left him And to think I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him Perhaps he did exist mother captain greg Perhaps he did come back and talk to us Wouldn't it be wonderful if he had Then you'd have something You know what I mean To look back on happiness No, darling We just made him up you and I He never existed I just wasn't intended to have that kind of happiness And I haven't missed it really I haven't Oh, I've been lonely at times, but there have been compensations You and now bill And dear Martha and this house The sea and the girls And memories I've had those you know even if it was a dream Now come along we'll join your young man for tea Dream I cannot blame her Was all my own doing I told her it was a dream. How long the gold has occurred Even Anna is older now than Lucia was when she first stepped into his house Anna long since married Children of her own role white and bright excited to be noble. I never thought she'd live to be 80 Lucia Lucia Hey him and what are you doing out on that balcony? Don't you know what the night air does to you? I'm coming Martha I'm coming What were you doing out there? I don't know. What difference does it make? I hope you remember what the doctor told you That I'm an old woman Well, so is he There was a letter this afternoon from Anna Little Lucy's engaged little Lucy To the captain of a transatlantic airplane Anna's very happy about it says it must run in the family airplanes I suppose she means Captains here you drink your hot milk I'm too tired. I And I have a funny pain in my arm No wonder standing out there in that fault sit down now and drink it while it's hot I don't want any hot milk now now. Don't get into a state. I am not in a state. I I just want to be left alone Bossing me around all the time. Well, I'll leave it on the table Take it or not.  I uh, I have a riddle for you. I'm listening when are a cook's hands like a rose garden I can see you're dying to tell me when they're in flower Oh But when a housewife's hands are the color of a red red rose, she doesn't like it a bit It means she has a bad case of dishpan hands But she can do something about that just change from strong soaps to lux flakes for dishwashing Changing to lux takes away that red look makes hands soft and smooth again Smooth as white rose petals the way her hands used to be and the way husbands still prefer them Lux flakes almost make dishwashing a pleasure The suds feel so soothing and rich and they certainly get the dishes clean fast Lux is a real time saver. It rinses so perfectly. You don't need to dry the dishes Just rinse them with hot water and let them drain They dry without streaking and don't forget lux is as easy on the pocketbook as it is on hands Tests show lux suds are so much richer You can wash up to twice as many dishes with lux as you can with the same weight of 10 other leading dishwashing soaps Lux is thrifty Here's mr. Keeley at the microphone brought the ghost and mrs. Muir so vividly and happily to life Charles Boyer and Madeline Carroll Madeline, you don't know how happy we are to welcome you on this stage again And how proud we are of your war record overseas Well bill you can't imagine how happy I am to be back and to be teamed for the first time on lux With charles boy the feeling is mutual believe me madeline But I understand that in addition to all your other work overseas You had your own radio show in paris.

Balance, balance, balance, balance, balance. Nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Let me put on my mic real quick. OK. So we don't know that much about memory, but what we do know is that if I were to start reading off a list of random words, you would only be able to memorize about four of those things. And then if we wait 20 to 30 seconds and talk about anything else, you're only going to remember about two or one or none. We kind of know that, right? Almost every person I've met has told me I have a really bad memory. So that's understood. But at the same time, if I walk up to anybody in this room and I ask how to get to the restroom, you could probably tell me. And you could probably tell me with like really good detail. Like walk out of that door. There's going to be the thing with the coffee and the tea on it. Just past that is the registration desk. Take a right. We're going to pass the escalators. Then we're going to have two sets of elevators. The one on the left only goes up to the 17th floor. Right, the one on the right starts at the 18th floor. Keep going. We're going to see the women's restroom first and then the men's restroom. We could all do that. So on one hand, we have a memory that completely sucks. But at the same time, we're able to like magically memorize the blueprint of this building. And we don't even try to do it. So how does that work? What memory athletes do when they memorize gigantic list of words is instead of using that short-term memory that we call it or present memory, they use their spatial memory, the same memory that we use to memorize locations. Which is what I try to do today. So we'll see how we did with 10 random words, which is more than double the amount of words that we're supposed to be able to memorize. So the first word was me staring on my watch. Anticipation, does anyone remember what happened next? Clown, perfect. And then what? Yes, clown and opera. And we did a little trick there where we combined the two. I was wearing the clown thing and I was singing. Does anyone remember what happened next when I came over to this side of the step? I don't even need to remind you, perfect car. And then what happened over here? Discovered in orange. It's awesome. You guys are doing really well. After that, what happened next? Sprint, great. So I balanced on my hands and then we sprint back over to the other side of the stage. And there was a countdown playing on the speakers. And then we ended with applause. So that's excellent. That's the entire method. That's what everybody uses to memorize thousands and thousands and thousands of digits or hundreds and hundreds of random words. It's just by visualizing it and using that spatial memory. So now we're going to see how to apply that to a few different things. The first thing is going to be names, because everybody has a hard time with names. How many people do you think you've met at this conference? I think I've met maybe like 200 people, right? I think there's 1,500 people here. I remember about half of those names and I was actually trying to remember them. So it's probably a lot worse for some of you who weren't trying. When you first meet somebody, what you want to do is actually listen to them tell you their name. Because a lot of the times when we're meeting somebody, we're five seconds into the conversation and we completely forgot their name. While our memories actually aren't that bad, we just weren't paying attention when we were introduced to them. So remember their name. The second thing you want to do is kick in that spatial memory. So to do that, this is Ryan. Everybody say hi, Ryan. All right, so you've got the first thing down. You listen to the name. Now you want to look at Ryan and find something that stands out to you. Now Ryan's got, obviously he's got his own look going on, so he's given us a lot of things to look at. But first thing I notice for him is a tattoo on his neck. So if I want to remember Ryan, I'm going to look at that tattoo and I'm going to think of a word that rhymes with the word Ryan, something that I can easily visualize and then attach it to that tattoo. So Ryan, for me, makes me think of Ryan. So I'm going to imagine coming up on Ryan's right hand side, a big lion running. He's got a bright orange mane. He's breathing hard. He jumps up in the air and he bites Ryan in the neck and just rips off his tattoo and he's flailing it around. There's blood everywhere. The lion's throwing the tattoo at you and you're super grossed out. The most offensive you can make the image the better, because then it's going to be more memorable. So the next time we see Ryan will immediately notice his tattoo. We're going to remember that crazy scene of a lion ripping off his tattoo and throwing it around the room. And then we'll be able to connect that again with Ryan. Makes sense? So names are pretty easy. And I bet you all can start doing that right now. Let's move on to the next thing. And that is memorizing a shuffled deck of playing cards. This is the first thing that I started getting interested in when I got in memory. It's actually more useful than you think it is. The reason you want to memorize cards is because it's the only thing that you can memorize that will actually impress your friends for number one. The second reason is because it teaches you everything you need to know to compete in the world memory competition. All the techniques that are important for that. So looking at a card, here we have the seven of diamonds and the seven of hearts. The reason why this is so difficult to memorize is because they're just hard to visualize. These two cards almost look exactly the same. If I wanted to just close my eyes and try to use this visual technique we've been talking about, and I visualize a seven of diamonds, and I visualize a seven of hearts, I'm probably still going to forget it. It's difficult. So what the pros do is instead of memorizing cards they memorize people. So the seven of diamonds for me is Isaac Newton. The seven of hearts is Einstein. So these guys are much easier to memorize. They're completely different. You can imagine them interacting with each other, doing different things. So the next step is to think of a person for every single card in the deck. That's 52 people. And when I first heard this I almost stopped because that sounds like, I mean, I got to use my memory to do that, right? But there's a technique, a trick, called mnemonics. And mnemonics just take information that's available to you, that's already right in front of your face, and uses that information to remind you of the thing it is that you want to remember. So looking at a card we have two bits of information. We have the value of the card, so four of hearts, it's a four, and then we have the suit of the card. Just looking at those two things can remind us of the person it is that we associated with that card. So we'll go through the values really quickly here. You'll reference these later, I'm sure, but every ace and every two in the deck is an athlete. Doesn't matter what the suit is. Ace of clubs, ace of spades, ace of diamonds. These are all athletes.  Every three and four is an actor. Three is a male actor, four is a female actor. Every five and six is a controversial or sketchy person. Somebody has done something that not everyone agrees with. And these are people that you can think of. Five is a male, six is a female. So you might see a pattern. Every single odd card in the deck is a male. Every single even card in the deck is a female. Seven and eight, these are people of like any kind of science field. Physics, math, any scientist. Remember my seven of diamonds, seven of hearts. I had Isaac Newton and Einstein. Again, seven's a male, eight's a female. Nine and 10, these are people of power. That can mean political power or super human powers. Any of that stuff. And Queen and King, this is a couple. This could be a famous couple, a couple you know. This could be you, whatever. And then finally Jack, there are four of these in the deck too. And these are all religious figures. Okay, the second thing, suit. There are four suits we have. Each of these are a specific type of person. So a diamond is a rich person.  Think diamonds, right? Shiny, fancy. Hearts, these are people you love. It's gonna be family, friends. Clubs, these are like bad people. You can think strong. I have used Arnold Schwarzenegger for one of my club cards. Sylvester Stallone, another good example. Or people who are just like bad at what they do. Spades, this means funny. These can be comedians, friends, jokesters, or other things that are funny to you. So taking those two things combined now, we can try to memorize three cards. So we have ace of diamonds, jack of spades, and four of hearts. So first thing we wanna do is look at the suit, right? May not remember, but ace is a male athlete. And diamonds is super fancy, or extravagant, or rich. So this for me is Michael Jordan. And for the rest of my life, this will always be Michael Jordan. The next card we have is jack of spades. Remember Jack is a religious person. Spades means funny. So a funny religious person, Dalai Lama. Next card is four of hearts. Remember four is a female actor. Hearts is somebody you love. So it's a female actor that I love. Well, we may have all different opinions on this, but I'm married, so this is my wife. Remember, this is just, you can use whatever pictures you want. This is just a reminder. So four of hearts is my wife. She's not an actor. And she's putting a Santa hat on my dog, Baxter. So now we have three very different images that we need to memorize. And we could, if we wanted to, build a story, like we did with the words. And we already know you guys can do that because you just did it, right? So you could imagine there's a basketball court. Michael Jordan's dribbling down the basketball court. He jumps up, slam dunks the basketball, and for whatever reason, the Dalai Lama is like, he's down below the basketball, who's praying.  There's blood everywhere. My dog comes running out of the locker room. He's running around in the blood. He's leaving footsteps all over the ground. Luis is screaming. It's crazy, right? So you won't forget that. And that's how you would memorize three cards. But there's actually a more popular technique of memorizing when you have lots of things to memorize. So we have to memorize 52 cards. So we're probably gonna wanna use this. This is called the method of Loki, also known as the journey method or the memory palace. Most people have heard of this. The way this works is you take a location that you're really, really familiar with.  And you imagine yourself walking from room to room to room.  So if it's Michael Jordan, you might see him jumping off your bed and slam dunking into your laundry basket. The important thing is to look at everything in your room and imagine your memory interacting with those things. So it's firmly planted. Then you go to the next room, say the bathroom. You do the same thing here with your second memory. So here we'd have Dalai Lama. Maybe he's in the shower and the boot is in the sink. I don't know.  You look at the TV, you look at the carpet, you look at the couch.  And then you retrace your steps from the beginning of the journey and everything will be right where you left it. It's really cool. So if you're like me and you're from, I'm in Portland now so I have a little bit more room but if you're coming from San Francisco or even here in Chicago, your memory palace might look something like this. So I would actually recommend, and this is a better method, is to go outside to make your journey. Because you have a lot more room this way. So this is a run that I do a couple times a week and I've ran it so many times that I could close my eyes and run it and I have 34 locations that I could place memories.  And 34 doesn't seem like a ton but that's actually enough to memorize two shuffled decks of playing cards. Now explain how that works right now. Professional memory athletes need to memorize a lot of stuff and they don't wanna be building journeys that are like thousands and thousands and thousands of locations long. So they're actually able to compress their memories to take up less space. So if we instead of just coming up with a person for each of our cards, we also come up with an action and an object. For example, the first card is Michael Jordan slam dunking a basketball. The second card is the Dalai Lama praying in front of the Buddha. The third card is my wife Louisa putting a Santa hat on my dog Baxter. We can then compress those three cards into a single image, a single memory by taking the person from the first card, Michael Jordan, the action from the second card, praying and the object from the third card which is in this case my dog and then we combine those into a single image. So we have Michael Jordan praying to my dog Baxter. And the really, really, really great thing about this technique is not only have we compressed our memories to take one third of the space that they used to before but we automatically get these images that are extremely memorable and we don't even need to think about it.  Like it's very memorable and it's easy to retrace. So that's good. If you wanna get started, the gift shop here I checked actually has Chicago themed gift card playing cards so you can go check those out. If you start getting quicker I wanna just have shuffled decks to practice on. You could go to this URL, it's just spinning out shuffled decks of cards and it'll time you. This is also a GitHub repo that shows the people that I use for these associations. That may be a good starting point but it's pretty good to come up with your own pictures so you actually remember them. All right, that was kind of intense. We're gonna take a quick 30 second break and practice our memories. So find a person to your left or to your right to your front to your back that you haven't met and memorize their name. Now I'm gonna give you a quick reminder. Quick reminder, hold on, hold on, quick reminder. Okay, find something on their face. Attach their name to that something on their face and don't actually tell them the image you create. That's important, go.  Time's up, everybody back, get down, all right. Good job. So does anybody remember this guy's name? Yes, good, that's hoping no one'd get it and I'd give you a prize but I don't have no prizes for everybody. Okay, moving on. We're now going to memorize something that is probably the hardest thing to memorize but since we've all learned how to memorize cards it's not as hard as it once was. We're going to memorize numbers. This is definitely the hardest thing to memorize but the person who sets the world record for this is able to memorize 937 random digits in 15 minutes which is four credit cards a minute. Kind of amazing, right? This guy can make bank at a restaurant. So memorizing these 16 digits isn't actually that difficult. We're gonna use a system a lot like we did for the cards because numbers are basically impossible to memorize. We're not gonna memorize numbers at all. We're gonna memorize pictures instead of numbers. So here's a grid I've made. You could do the same exact thing. Each of these squares represents a two digit number from 00 to 99. It's your task to fill all of these squares with different pictures that you can memorize every two digit number. So if you started with cards like I recommended then there's no problem just reusing those images. So numbers one through 52 can just be the same images you use for playing cards. So now you're over halfway there, you're basically done. You only have 48 more pictures you gotta come up with. Some of these are gonna be super obvious. Like 00 is a personal favorite of mine. This, every time I see it, I see a set of eyeballs. So it's really easy to remember that one. It could be eyeballs, it could be sunglasses or goggles. You might imagine like Arnold Schwarzenegger putting on shades. So then we only have now 47 numbers left that we need to memorize. And some of these will have special meaning to you. So 1984, that's the year I was born. So I imagine a birthday cake with big bright candles, burning fire. 1974, that's the year that the Rubik's Cube came out and I really love the Rubik's Cube so I'm never gonna forget that. 1991 was the year that the first episode of Doug aired. So I imagine the Quail Man, every time I see the number 91. And so that leaves us with now 44 more pictures that we need to come up with and none of these have any meaning to us whatsoever. So we'll use another mnemonic to build pictures and remind us of those pictures. And a mnemonic for this is called the major system. The major system is also known as the phonetic system because each number from zero to nine is assigned a phonetic sound. So zero is Z or Z. One is T, t, t, sorry. Two is N, nuh, nuh. Three is M or muh, muh, muh. Four is R, ruh. Five is L, luh. Six is J, juh. Seven is K or kuh, kuh. Eight is F or puh, puh. And finally nine is P. So those are all the phonetic sounds so let's break down our number real quick so we see how this works. We'll grab a number 83, this number we don't yet have a picture for and we'll apply the major system to give us a picture and be able to remind us of that picture later. So we take eight and we grab the phonetic sound for the number eight which is F and then we do the same with three so we have M.  Well that's totally fine. So your picture now for 83 could be an FM radio and that's all you need to remember that. But you could also just start sticking in vowels things that aren't part of the major system until you make a word that makes sense to you. So foam is the first word I found and this is a really good word because it's extremely visual. You can imagine being in your room just spraying foam all over the place. You're not gonna forget that. But I kept searching just to see if I could find something else and I found FIM. Does anyone know what FIM is? No, FIM is not actually a word but it sounds like FIM. Now remember this is the phonetic system so you're looking for things that sound similar not necessarily spelt the same. So 83 for me is FIM. So I imagine maybe my beautiful color scheme working on some ruby just basically sitting behind the computer it would be my memory for 83. So we could take the major system and apply it to all the rest of the pictures until eventually we have 100 unique images that are easy for us to recall either by the major system or they just have special meaning to us. So now memorizing a credit card number is just like memorizing the cards. We go through and break the number down into sets of two. So we look at 44, we grab our image for 44, we place it in the first room of our memory palace. We go to the next room, we grab the image for 85, we place that in the next room. We then move over to maybe the living room, we take the image for 34 and we put it in there and then again we retrace our steps to remember the number. And if you've taken the time to create the person, action and objects that we did for the playing cards, then the same exact compression can be used here too. So you can memorize a binary number like this, which is huge in a single image. This is one image. So when someone memorizes something like, you know, 50,000 binary digits, it's not quite as impressive when you realize this is a single image in their memory palace. The way this works is you can break it down just like you might imagine. So 001 is one, 010 is two, 110 is six, 101 is five, 111 is seven and 100 is four. So now we have three two-digit numbers, which can either be three pictures or we could compress them, right? With person from the first, action from the second and object from the third into a single image. Well, it's not as difficult as it sounds. So I'm coming up on time, so I'm going to give you something to read in the future. And that is this book here. This is by Dominique O'Brien, and he is the eight-time world memory champion. So he really, really knows his stuff. He's a horrible writer, but the techniques here are very good. So he's gonna talk about everything we talked about today and then give a little bit of advice and like practice problems for some other techniques. But they all come from the same technique of using your spatial memory. Another book if you're interested in competing or just learning more about how competitions work. This is a very popular book that you may have already read. It's Moon Walking with Einstein by Joshua Feuer, and he is a journalist that decided he'd start learning how to memorize and he ended up just winning the U.S. Memory Championships. So it's pretty impressive. That's it. I'm Chris Hunt in real life and on the internet if you have any questions. Thank you.

Not at them figures anyway. Whether Rael Madrid will be prepared to let him come to Everton on loan might be a different thing, but for me personally I just don't see anything in this one just more people talk. Another player that has been linked with a big money mood to Everton today is Donnie Van Der Beek at Ajax. Newcastle and Rael Madrid also interested in him. Apparently, the 23 year old valued at around 35 million euros also. That seems to be the figure, the bus figure at the moment. Again, just to reiterate, I just don't see Everton paying this kind of money. The world has changed. A lot of clubs won't be paying this kind of transfer fee for anybody. We don't know whether the games are going to complete it. Everton are no different than a lot of other clubs. They need the nine games to be completed for television revenue. Otherwise, it will hinder them in the summer. There's no question or whenever the transfer window is. So players like Donnie Van Der Beek. I don't think around Carlo Anciolotti's radar at all. One player who might be is Mangal Arsar, the centre back from Nice. He's a 21 year old defender. He's available on a free transfer. He's tipped to join a club in Germany, but Everton are apparently in the race for him. He's a six footer, good age on a free transfer. That's more likely to interest Carlo Anciolotti. Obviously, Everton heavily linked to Gabriella Leal's centre back with some news outlets saying that personal terms are already agreed. They may well be, but what has changed is that the initial deal Everton had in place with Leal will not be there no more of 30 million again. If Leal won a deal at about 15 million, then maybe that Gabrielle move will still happen to Everton, but not at the 30 million price tag we've seen. UEFA have set proposals in place to make it even more difficult to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. It would certainly affect a club like Everton. There's no question about that. They want to do it over a four year period. They want to get rid of the top four and entry into it is based on a four year period, where basically you've got to get in the Champions League places, so to speak, the top four for three seasons. And then I've the hope of being allowed to compete in the fourth, other than that, you have to win the league. This is this is something that just tries to make that more of an elite make it a closed shop reward. Those teams that are up there, it's absolute nonsense. It's your way for probably another way to keep a super league at bay and do it this way. I don't I don't know who from England who would vote for that doubt, to be honest, because you'd get teams who have been in it the last few years.  You'd get Manchester City because they've been in it that period of time. But then even if you do maybe Chelsea or Arsenal, then teams like Spares miss out, you know, United maybe. It's I just don't say it. There's too many big clubs in England with money that will will veto this in my opinion, places like France. It's not really going to matter that much. But what you're doing also in those leagues is you're essentially stopping teams from building and progressing. You stop teams from getting better. And what happens if you're? Yeah, it's just they make it a nonsense to me. And they can't be I can't I'm quite simply coming from me. And finally, league in France and their second division have been cancelled. Today, the French government saying there will be no football in France until at least September the 1st. Italy are saying also today that they're going to have to rethink there was talks they will go back on the second of June. Germany, who had proposals in place to go back on May the 9th, that apparently there's been a spike of COVID, new COVID cases. So that might be reevaluated now. And I suppose the thought is now France have become one of the top five leagues to actually cancel this season, whether or not that will mean others follow suit Spain, maybe Italy, maybe the Premier League. You know, so will the Premier League look at this? As an opportunity to get more eyes on their product, there's less games, less competition, they can be the biggest ticker in town. And we know that talks are underway for the Premier League to return on June the 8th. Clubs going back into training grounds going to be some interesting developments, most definitely as we move forward with this. That is it for today.
