Hello, welcome back to Exotic Wine Travel. I am your host, Matthew Horkey. So we're filming here and we're talking about some unique grapes in Santa Barbara County. People know Santa Barbara County for Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, for the most part, Sera to a lesser extent, but these are three unique grapes. Sorry, this is a blend. So one, two, three, four, five unique grapes here. So before we get started, I wanna let you guys know that this video has not been paid for in any way, shape, or form. But if you do like these videos, if they do add value to your life, check out our guide to the wines of Santa Barbara called Sipping Santa Barbara, Recommended Wines and Producers. Let's get started. So I've used the Corvind Model II Elite. I wanna thank Corvind for giving us a test sample to use on these wines. I wouldn't have gotten through these videos without them. And I'm pouring into these beautiful Gabriel Gold Edition hand blown glasses. I will have a discount code for the glasses up at the end of the video. Let's get started first. So, you know, Santa Barbara County, where I talked about everyone knows Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and something to a lesser extent, Sera. I think Chardonnay is probably the best in Santa Barbara County, Pinot Noir, maybe second, maybe even Sera second. But also you found Bordeaux grapes, which we have here. You find Italian grapes, they call Calatel wines there. And we're gonna take a look at some of these today. First of all, we have a producer who has been extremely kind to us ever since we visited. This is Moretti. Now Moretti has a shop in the Lumpuck Wine Ghetto called, Sirene's crawling around in back there, making me laugh, called Taste of Santa Rita Hills. They were especially really, really, really, really helpful to us. And actually if you show them your copy of Sipping Santa Barbara Recommended Wines and Producers, you get a free tasting at the shop. So let's get started. This is the Moretti Vermantino from 2016 Camp Four Vineyard. This is a single vineyard effort. I am excited to taste this. I love the 2015. And also, Sirene and I just judged at the Vermantino Competition in Sardinia in the fall of 2017. Let's get started. You remember anything about the Vermantino? That you like. You like it, right? A lot. So let's get started here. Vermantino, a grape from, you know, some people, a lot of people say it's Sardinian. It is grown in Tuscany as well and the coast of Liguria and southern France, Provence as well, I think, right? And also Corsica. Let's get started here. The cool thing about all these wines, these two Moretti wines, this one from Boehner Fortiade, they're actually all made by Steve Clifton. Famous guy who started Brewer Clifton wines now is on his own at Palmina and La Voie. Anyways, I'm thranting on. Let's get started here with the Vermantino, which is very Vermantino-y. And what I mean by that, a lot of pineapple, lime, and almost like gassiness, oiliness. That's what I get with Vermantino, a little bit of spiciness. I'm really liking this a lot. Let me give this a go. You're gonna like this. I like Vermantino so much because in the world of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, sometimes you want something different. Vermantino offers that. This is maybe not as big and body as the 2015. Remember, 2015 was really big and body, but it just has wonderful flavors and a spicy finish. I mean, I could see this, me really enjoying this with some seafood pasta, some shellfish. What do you think over there? Yeah, seafood pasta with cream. Do you like this? Very nice, very, very good. I think this is very good. For me, 4.2 out of five easily. I'm a big fan of Moretti because their wines are relatively good value for money. And Santa Barbara County, you can pick this up 29 US dollars, maybe get for less at retailers. Awesome, let's move on. Now, what's named after? Antonio Moretti is actually Italian. His wife, Jenny, is fantastic. And this is the Rosomio, which means my red. 60% Dolcetto, 30% Barbera, 10% Nebbiolo from Santa Barbara County. Let's give this a go. We're gonna have lighter color here, which I'm surprised. Dolcetto usually has some nice dark, firm color. Wow, this smells really Italian, actually. I'm not on this show because I'm not feeling well. Sure, he's not feeling the best. But I get excited when I listen to him. Juicy cranberry flavors, cherry, sour cherry. I am loving this. It doesn't have San Giovese in it, but it has the San Giovese kind of earthiness, mineralness to it. This is really exciting. Give it to me. Can I fall leaves? This is really good. The 2013 got some age out. Let me give this a little bit of a taste. Awesome. It sounds like lava, it's molly. $34.  Really? This is the kind of wine. It's medium body. It's not gonna score super high, maybe in terms of critics, because it's not a huge, showy wine, but it's just juicy, food-friendly. It has complexity. If you're liking the sour cherry, the cranberry notes, you're gonna dig this exactly. It's got high acid. Goes well with foods. It's got some spice. I'm looking at Shireen. What do you think of this? I taste a lot of mibeolo, but obviously there's some funny banya. In a good way. Dry hair kind of smells. It's rustic, right? It's really Italian rustic with a little bit more bright fruit to me. I'm gonna go off on a limb here. Not many people are gonna agree, but this is just hitting my personal palate perfectly. I'm going 4.3 out of 5 on this. I actually am very excited about this wine. I don't think as many people are gonna get as excited about it as I am, but I love it. I like it. I love it like me. Okay, let's move on here. Dr. Bob Boehner and his wife founded this wine we call Boehner 48 Vineyards. This is their state-grown 2013 Petit Verdeaux from the Santa Ines Valley. We had their V3 early on the show, which we both loved. Their V3, they only have on the property for reds, Petit Verdeaux Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon. Petit Verdeaux, you don't see it bottled as a varietta wine, a heck of a whole lot. Darkened tannins, late ripening, darkened color. Let's give this a go. We don't come up, we just actually picked up one from Napa. We were in Napa for a few weeks and Sherene got one from Gurgats Hills. Ah, excited. And they're gonna drink for a while. Let's give this a go. Some Petit Verdeaux in the house. This is rolling in at 34 US dollars. What makes that? That's a good price for an H-wood. And this is Petit Verdeaux-y. I don't know what Verdeaux-y is. Purple flower. Yeah, it's purple flower. Like lavender, dark, dark cherry, like really dark cherry, dark fruit, black cherry. Almost like a black cherry pie. My grandma used to make some nice delicious pies. That's what it's kind of reminded me of. Some kind of pencil-led earthiness. This is a good show. I think this show today, I was probably least excited about shooting. But these wines are bringing some serious heat. Maybe I'm in a good mood. Let me give this a go. I need you to check me to make sure I'm just not getting, I'm not just in a, in a feel-good mood. Yeah, black cat. Just taste, I want to see what you have. I love, like Petit Verdeaux on its own can sometimes be too ripe, too tannic. I like this a lot. Medium to full body, not huge.  The tannins are actually quite soft for a variety of Petit Verdeaux. What do you think? I think the tannins are approachable now, but it's not soft to me. It's the give away that it's Petit Verdeaux. Otherwise, it's just by the aroma I would actually might be able, oh, I might guess that it's Cabernet Sauvignon. I was thinking this is Bordeaux.  But that tannins, it feels different from Cabernet Sauvignon. Wow, yeah, the tannins are not small in bite. They're not like biting like Cabernet Sauvignon. I am really, 4.2, 4.3. I think our dad would love that wine. I think I'm 4.3 out of five. I'm pretty high on this. What do you think about this? Am I getting too excited, or do you think it's pretty darn good wine? We haven't tasted many Petit Verdeaux examples, but this is definitely one of the best examples that we have. Good job, Dr. Bob. Both wines showed excellent. So guys, I'm gonna put the discount code for the Gabrielle Glass up on the screen right now. You can get 15% off the Standart Glass or the Alfa De Cantor. I will also put our guide up there, Sipping Santa Barbara, recommended wine producers. Check them out. Check out Moretti, Taste of Santa Rita Hills. If you visit the Lumpf-Winegate, I'll put the link in the description box. And Dr. Bob from Bainer, Fort, Bainer, Fortier. Good showing. So guys, anything else? You were out of the video, but you were still engaged? Anything kind of about the show, about these wines that you noticed? They're all very good. Yeah, I mean, all made by Steve Clifton, I'm sorry, of Paul Mina wines. You can wanna check out his wines. He also makes Pinot Noir under the Levoix label. Really good stuff.

Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Kay Francis and Warren William in my bill. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. Tonight we follow the fortunes of a gallant woman, a symbol of all those gallant women who faced the world alone and found happiness for themselves and for their children. I think perhaps we've all known someone like Mary Colbrook in the play my bill. Hers is the brand of courage and devotion for which mothers are famous. Her story is a tribute to the love and sacrifice of all mothers the world over.  It's the part she played in the Warner Brothers picture, a performance that had all the warmth and understanding of Mary Colbrook herself. So I'm not surprised that you've been asking to hear Kay play the same part at this microphone. And co-starring with Kay we present Warren William, who's back on this stage after too long an absence. You know we get a good many definite instructions from you every week, not just as we do the comments and criticisms. And one of the most frequent comments from members of this audience is that after listening to the Lux Radio Theatre for a few Monday nights they feel they'd like to take out a regular membership. So they buy a cake of Lux Toilet soap for the first time. And that's a noble gesture. And the beginning of a pretty good habit too. One cake always deserves another and another and another and another. So the regular listener becomes a regular customer. And that's what makes Lux Toilet soap a national habit among millions of American women. And tonight we have a play especially tailored for these millions of women. A play about one woman who found herself fighting the whole world with only one real ally. A ten-year-old son named Bill. The strongest bond in the world is the tie between a mother and child. Incidentally this is one of the best parts we've ever had for a boy actor. And I believe you'll hear more about the lad who's playing it tonight, Dick Stavis. Now the curtain rises on the first act of the play My Bill starring Kay Francis as Mary Colbrook and Warren William as John Rudlin with Dick Stavis as Bill. In the quiet little town of Colbrook, Massachusetts is a quiet street called Colbrook Avenue. There in an old frame house, simple and dignified, live the Colbrooks for whose ancestors the town was named. There are five in the family. Mary Colbrook, a young widow, Reginald, age 18, Muriel 16, Gwen 12 and Bill 10. Muriel 16 is on the telephone, engaged in a long-winded conversation. Hello, Lynn. I'll have to talk to Mother. What? You keep on practicing. Wait a minute, Lynn. Here she is now. Mother, Lynn wants to know if I can go to his sister's party tomorrow night. Why, of course, dear. But I can't go if I don't get that new dress. Miss Colbrook, the butcher's in the kitchen. He says he wants to see you. All right, Pula, as soon as I get the mail. Mother, wait. What about my dress? Hello, Lynn. Wait a minute. She's gone again. Mother, will you please listen? Of course, dear. What is it? Well, Lynn wants to know it. The mail, Mother. Oh, nothing much, Gwen. Just bills, I guess. Any news from that, Carolyn? I don't see anything. Well, when is she coming? I don't know. She simply wrote that she'd visit us. If people want to be that vague, we just have to take them as we find them. But we must be nice to... Mother, please! What about my dress? Don't shout like that, Muriel. Now. What's the matter, dear? Mother, you know perfectly well, Madam Clair said I couldn't get the dress until we paid for the last one. Now, do I get it or not? Have you got the money? Darling, you're too young to start worrying about money. And don't scowl like that. It spoils your looks. The butcher's in her hair in this cold world. Oh, dear, the butcher. All right, Pula, coming. Hello, Lynn. I don't think I can go. No, nothing you've done. I'm just not sure I can go. That's all. I'll call you later. Hello, sis. Who are you talking to? Lynn. It's about the party. And I won't go unless I get my new dress. Well, you won't get it, so don't worry. Why won't you, Reggie? What do you mean? Come on in the living room, and I'll tell you. What's the matter, Reggie? Listen, have you two noticed there's been a distinct shortage of money in this house for the past few weeks? Well, I just found out that our credit in this town has been marked NG. What does that mean? No good. Reggie? Yep. I went into Kauffman's department store to get a new tie, and they refused to charge it. A measly dollar and a half, and they refused. Reggie, how humiliating! It's all mother's fault. She has no sense about business.   What is it now? Bill, just look at you. Next to losing our credit, you're the biggest disgrace in this family. I'll keep quiet. What's the trouble, children? Mother, just look at Bill. I see him.  Hello, Bill. If Aunt Carolyn comes, you'd better hide him. Hide Bill? Why, nonsense. If Aunt Carolyn isn't going to like having a hoodlum around the house, you know how she is. Yes, Reggie. I know how she is far better than you. You hardly remember. I do very well. Anyway, she's got lots of money, and I hope she comes. Yes, dear, of course. Have a good game, Bill. Yeah, I made a 90-yard run for a touchdown. He looks as if he crawled it. Oh, forget Bill. Mother, mother, if we're on the brink of financial ruin, don't you think you might tell us about it? Reggie, what's the matter? Our credit is so poor that I can't buy a dollar and a half tie. That's what's the matter.  And you didn't pay the butcher because you haven't any money in your purse. I looked. How am I ever going to finish my law course? And how am I going to get my dress? Or go on with my art studies? What about my piano lessons? Children, please. Now, don't get yourselves all upset. It's bad for your digestion. Pula, door, please. Mother, is all the money Dad left us gone? We want to know. We're not babies any longer. Of course you're not. Reggie, straighten your tie. Well, there's been a little mix-up in my account with the brokers, that's all. But there's nothing for you to worry about. Tomorrow, mother will take care of everything. Miss Goldbrook, you've got to come on and talk to these men. What's the matter, Bula? And they's going to move our piano. That's what we're going to do, lady, unless you've got 24 bucks. Too much payment. Well, as a matter of fact, at the moment I haven't. But I could call a company and explain. Won't do no good, lady. Cash or the piano. Let's get it, Jake.  Don't you dare test that out. You know they won't like the chair. Hiya, Goldbrook. Lynn. How are you? The door was open, so I came on in. I dropped over to the sea where Muriel won't go to the party. You moving? Oh, no. We're just getting rid of the old piano. What's the use of kidding, Lynn, mother? The fact is the piano was being taken away from us.  Because I'm tired of more of the poor flushing. That's why I've had enough.  No, don't. I'm sorry you had to come right now, Lynn. Just every day problems of a family. Sure, I know. Of course. But I'm afraid it's a little upsetting for Muriel. It's horrible. Don't feel like that, Muriel. I know how these things are. And everything's quite all right, anyhow.  You're just an ostrich. That's what you are. Am I, darling?   Does your family pay its bills? Your mother knows what's happened to the money your father's left her. Well, Lynn's father is very much alive, dear. Oh, you know what I'm talking about. Muriel, take it easy. Look, Mrs. Colbrook, I have a little money, and if you'd let me help... Mother, if you take so much as one penny from Lynn, I'll never speak to you again as long as I live. Never, never, never! What a gal. Gosh, I never knew she got like that. Oh, oh, she doesn't usually. But things have been a bit upset lately. She'll be all right tomorrow. I certainly hope so. Look, if there's anything I can do... I'm afraid I'm the one who'll have to do things. Goodbye, Lynn. Goodbye, Mrs. Colbrook. So long, Bill. So long, Romeo. Better luck next time. You'll never see him again.  You aside. I don't care. When I think of all that practicing, I've done just being wasted. Oh, I don't... Are things really bad, sweetheart? Well, they aren't too good, Bill. Well, I got some money. Can you do anything with 65 cents? Mm-hmm. You can get a quart of ice cream. The children always feel better when there's ice cream for dessert. Yeah, but what about everything else? Tomorrow, Bill. I'll think of something the very first thing in the morning. Okay. But don't let him get you down, sweetheart. I'll go get the ice cream. Thanks, darling. Hello? Cambridge National Bank. May I speak to Mr. John Rudlin, please? Well, it took you an awfully long time before you decided to come to see me. Yes, John. And I know I shouldn't have. I hope you'll never say that and really mean it. What can I do for you? Well... Well, uh... I need money. And I've nothing to offer with security. Yes, I know. Well, how could you? It's my business. Bankers are supposed to know about those things. Why didn't you come before? Oh, pride, I suppose.  Is that the only reason? Well, no. You see, every time I decide to come, I remember how jealous Robert used to be of you. That was a long time ago, Mary. Yes? Yes, Robert's been dead almost nine years. It's hard to believe sometimes. It doesn't seem that long. It seems longer to me. John, please.   Never going anywhere, never seeing anyone. What are you getting out of life? I have four children. They've been my life, John. They've kept me pretty busy. I imagine so. Well, how much money do you need? Anybody home? We're all home in the living room. Oh, that's nice. What's all the packages, Mother? Just a few things for dinner and a few other things. Reggie, you wanted a tie, didn't you? Well, here it is. I hope you like the color. A tie? Bill, put these flowers in water, will you, sweet? Flowers? Mother, what's the meaning of this?  Muriel, here's your dress, darling. Madam Claire just finished it. Mother, you got it. Oh, and Reggie, I want you to pay the rent, the lights, the grocer and the butcher. You'll have to hurry before they close. What am I going to use for money?  Here. Mother, what a roll of bills. Where did you get it? Don't ask so many questions. Do what she tells you. Is everything all right, Mother? You got the check from the broker? Everything's perfectly grand. Oh, darling, you're wonderful. What about you, Reggie? Well, I think it's great, Mother. Rah, rah, rah! Rah, rah, rah! Mother, mother, mother! Oh, don't be silly. I'm glad you're so happy, kids. But please remember one thing. Anyone can be normal in normal times. That's no test. It's when things go against us that we show our true colors. We must never weaken. And no matter what happens to us, ever. The main thing is that we must stick together. Now very rich. Muriel, call and tell him you can go to the party. You'd better move the furniture back again and make room for the piano. Bill, what are you doing this afternoon? I've got a football game. Oh, yes. The Tigers versus the Panthers. All right, kids, run along now. And Bill, hold that line. Signal 62, 78, 23, high. Kick it, Bill. Kick it. Oh, boy, what a kick. Nice work, Bill. Holy mackerel. Get busted a window. Oh, gee, it would have to be Mrs. Crosby's window. Yeah, that old crab. Well, it's good buddy or ball, Bill. I'll get it back. I ain't afraid of her. Right back, fellas. My window is fixed. Not a minute before. Now go away. All right, Mrs. Crosby.  What do they say I am? A mean, nasty old woman who locks herself in. Why, you get out. Get out of here, I... Hey, what's the matter? My heart. Gee whiz. Here, sit down. Want me to call a doctor? No. No doctors. Got any medicine in the house? Upstairs. But I... I'm all right now. Don't bother. Here, let me rub your hands. And I'll stimulate the blood. What happened? Just one of my spells. Gee, ain't there anyone to take care of you when you get one? No. I live alone here. In this big house? I should think you'd get awful lonesome and want someone to talk to now and then. I haven't anyone. Gee, I'm sorry. I guess what my mother said must be right. What did she say? Well, just last week she said, Mrs. Crosby isn't really mean. It's just that she hasn't got a single friend anywhere. And that's why she feels the whole world's against her. She said that. I... I wonder if she wouldn't pay me a visit some time so we could get acquainted. I'll ask her about it. You'll like my mother. She's swell. I'm sure of it. I guess I'll be getting on home if you're all right now. Just a second. What did you say your name is? Bill.  Thanks, Mrs. Crosby. That's a bird, Reggie. Now, Graham, eat all of those vegetables. They're good for you. Excuse me, will you, mother? You'll sit down. Where are you going? Mother, I'm late. Then I'll be here soon and I've got to do my nails yet and get dressed.  Then I'll just have to wait. Oh, mother. You look lovely tonight, darling.  Yes, I went right to the main office. Mother, I've been trying to find out where you got all that money. You didn't... Hiya, kids. Hiya, sweetheart. Bill, you're late for dinner again. Everything's stone cold. Oh, that's all right, sweetheart. I think nothing of it. Where were you anyway? I was having a little talk with Mrs. Crosby. Mrs. Crosby? That old prank? You don't know anything about her, so keep quiet. Sit down and eat, Bill. Mother, I still want to know where you got them. Oh, Gwen, I've been meaning to ask you. Did you notice if they brought back the same piano? Come on. But how do you know, dear? I wouldn't want to get an older one or anything. The middle C is flat. That's ours, all right. Mother, will you listen? Have some peas, Bill. Thanks. Mother, please, you've been stalling all through dinner, but I think it's time you answered my question. What question was that, dear? You know what I mean. Where did you get all that money yesterday? She never did tell us, mother. As long as she got it, that's the important thing. Mother, I insist upon knowing. I can't get money from a bank. Thank you, Bill. That's right. I just asked them for money and they gave me a note. You see, Reggie, you were worried for no reason at all. Now who can that be? A bit of sling. Maybe it's Aunt Carolyn. I'll answer it. Good evening. Don't you ever answer the doorbell? Yes, when it rings. Sometimes it doesn't. It's erratic. Like your mother. Well, are you going to let me in? I'm your Aunt Carolyn. Oh, I'm sorry. Please come in. Mother, Aunt Carolyn is here. You're Muriel, of course. I'd have known you from your earliest pictures. You're quite pretty. Thank you. This is Gwen and this is Reginald and Bill. Hello, Aunt Carolyn. How are you, Bill? Hello. Cold Brooks. I can see the qualities of the Cold Brooks in you. Eternal qualities they are, make no mistake. How are you, Aunt Carolyn? We're delighted to see you. We've looked forward to your visit. Thank you. You must be tired after your journey. May I get you some dinner? No thanks. I've had my dinner. Well, perhaps you'd like to freshen up a bit. I'll take you to your room. Thank you, but I've taken a house down the street. Oh. Oh, I see. Well, I'm sure we're all disappointed. Oh, let's stop pretending. Where do you go from here? What do you mean? I mean now that you've hit the bottom. Well, how do you... Oh, I found out all about your problems. Even if you didn't send me a signal of distress. Mother, what is she talking about? Is there anything wrong, Mother? She's in the dark. Lie to them. Your own children. Well, I'll tell them.  You mean we're broke? We have nothing? Nothing. You're penniless. I'm sorry, children. It's true. I've done the best I could. The best you could. Everyone in this town says you're scatterbrained and they're right.  You can't talk like that to my mother. It's time somebody told the truth. Mother, we don't own this house, you know. Have I thought about it? I haven't slept for weeks. How could you go through that much money? You don't understand, dear. I didn't know anything about business when your father died. I never had to. Well, I... I made some investments. Why? To get all the things I wanted for you children. Interest rates were going down and I had to find some way to triple the principal. So I took a chance. You had no right to do it. It was criminal of you. You've never used that tone to me before. I wish I had. Now we're paupers and a laughing stock. Father always said you had no sense of responsibility. But Reggie, two and a half percent of... I don't want to hear anything about it.  Will you please leave the room? All of you. I want to speak to you about Carolyn. I'll leave the room.  That's what I'll do.  Why have you come here, Carolyn? To take care of my brother's children. He was in his mind about you. And begged me to watch over them. And how do you propose to take care of them? I want you to give them up. What? I won't do it. Never. Then I'll take them from you. You try, Carolyn, and I'll... What? There's nothing you can do. And when the last dollar is gone, they'll come to me with their own accord. Because I can give them the things they need. Will you please go now, Carolyn? I think you've said just about enough. I've said everything I want to say at the moment. Just with heart and on the table. Hello, Muriel. Hello. Well, I'm beginning to economize. Bill and I walked all the way to the market. How much do we save on the vegetables, Bill? You said a dime. That's right. Mother, I want to know something. Again, dear? You told us you got that money from the bank. Yes, dear. What bank? The Cambridge National Bank. Why? From Mr. Ruddler? Yes, darling. He's the president, isn't he? If we're so poor, what kind of security could you have given him? He didn't ask for any. I just gave him a note. Payable on demand. Oh, mother, how could you? That... that bachelor! But I... I don't understand you. You've given a note payable on demand to John T. Ruddlin, who's the most despicable man in this town.  A lot of people don't like John Ruddlin because he's a banker. He's smart. But he happens to be a very fine man and an old friend. He's no good.  Muriel, where did you... He was after you even when my father was alive. Aunt Carolyn said so. Oh, Aunt Carolyn. When did you see Aunt Carolyn? I didn't. But Reggie did this morning. I see. Well, she stops at nothing, does she? Oh, I wouldn't worry about John Ruddlin or that note, dear. I'll pay him back. You'll do nothing of the sort. You're not going to disgrace this family anymore. When the time comes, I'll pay what you owe. You'll pay? Yes. I'll marry some rich man and save this family. I've just sent Lynn away. Boy, are you nuts. Oh, no, Bill. She's just melodramatic. She has a self-sacrificing complex. But I think that shows something good in her. Are you ready, Muriel? Come on, I've got the bags. Reggie, Gwen, where are you going? There's no use making a fuss, Mother. The girls and I are leaving. Yes, I've had a talk with Aunt Carolyn and she's invited us to live with her. Reggie, well, you can't do this.  That's what you are. Now, we're simply trying to be practical, Mother. You don't seem to realize what our position is. I realize better than you know. Oh, but we're not licked yet. I'll find some way out of this difficulty. Already, I've begun to economize. I may even find a job for myself. But no matter what happens, you can't leave. Well, if you intend economizing, why should you object to our going to live with Aunt Carolyn? No, I don't want to afford it. And it would make things easier for you. It's simple arithmetic. It isn't arithmetic at all. It's a spite. Oh, she doesn't care about you, Reggie, or any of the others. She just hates me. She never wanted your father to marry me. I don't know why. Well, that's something we know nothing of. We're merely trying to be sensible. Now, children, you're young. You don't realize what you're doing. How much you're hurting yourselves. It makes you cowardly.  You're not of age. But I won't. I'm going to let you make your own decisions. But you ought to know that this is all wrong. We agreed to stick together. It's too late for speeches, Mother. We're leaving. Come on, Gwen. Goodbye, Mother. Go on, scram.  That's all I can say. Don't cry, sweetheart. They're not worth crying about, honest. What? I could have married somehow. It wouldn't come out all right if... if we just stuck together. Sure it would. But if they turned out to be rats, you can't help us. Oh, there's children. But, Bill, you don't understand that there's still my children. I want them back. Sure. I know how you feel. But never mind, sweetheart. You're here? Yes, Bill. Yes, you're here.  In just a moment, Mr. DeMille presents our stars Kay Francis and Warren William in the second act of My Bill. Does that sound familiar? A crowded bus is stopping to take on a passenger. It's Mrs. Randall, all tired out from a hard day shopping. Goodness, I wish these buses wouldn't start till a person's had a chance to get her fare out. Oh, wait, driver. I'm caught in the door. There, that finish is the feather on my hat. Took the top right off, I'll bet. Phew, it's good to get a seat even if you are practically shoved into it. I'm so tired, I almost wish the Johnson's weren't coming over tonight. Glad I've got this new dress, though. Hope Jim will like it. I wish I was home. I can't wait to get into a good, warm, luck-soaked bath. It'll make a new woman of me. Mrs. Randall has the right idea. After that luck-soaked beauty bath, she will feel like a new woman, rested and wonderfully refreshed. And here's the important thing. She'll be confident of the charm she knows is most important of all. The charm of perfect, exquisite dangerous. You see, luck-soaked has active lather that carries away perspiration and every trace of dust and dirt. It leaves skin really fresh, sweet, and its delicate perfume is so refreshing. And tender one when Mrs. Randall slips on that new dress of hers this evening, she'll say to herself, I feel so fresh after that lovely luck-soaked bath. It's really wonderful. Yes, fastidious women love the way a luck-toilet-soaked beauty bath makes daintiness, sure. Why don't you use white, fragrant luck-toilet-soaked for a daily beauty bath? It's such a luxurious soap, and it costs so little. We pause now for station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. Who have my bill, starring Kay Francis as Mary Colbrook and Warren William as John Rudlin with Dix Davis as Bill. It's a lonely place now, the little house on Colbrook Avenue. With three of her children gone, Mary faces life sadly, but without bitterness. Young Bill is concerned chiefly with the financial problems involved. With this in mind, he's gone to visit his young friend, his new friend, Mrs. Crosby. Glad you came over. I just wanted to see how you were, Mrs. Crosby. Besides, I need some advice. I'm flattered you want to take me into your confidence. Well, even if you haven't got a lot of kids, you'll kind of understand. Now, what is it that's troubling you? Mrs. Crosby, have you got any idea where I could borrow some money? If it's that window you're worrying about, forget it. Well, that's one thing. I've got to get some money for other reasons. I've got an idea. I see. You want to negotiate alone. Huh? Negotiate. That means talk it over. Put it through. Oh, yeah. But not from you, Mrs. Crosby. I wouldn't use our friendship for that. No, man, this is strictly business. Well, then, I suggest you go down to the Cambridge National Bank and see John Rudlin. I heard things about him, Mrs. Crosby. You sure he's all right? Of course he is. He's a fine man. But don't tell him I said so. But you just talk with him. I'm sure you can work out something. Well, Mr. Rudlin, I want to negotiate alone. Huh? I see. What for, Bill? Well, Mr. Rudlin, I want to go into the newspaper business and I'm desperate for $3. What do I have to do to get it? I mean, I haven't got any securities and that kind of stuff. No security, eh? That's bad, isn't it? Yes, sir. But I have a pretty good reputation. That counts too, doesn't it? Yes, yes. We always consider the borrower's reputation, Bill. And I've never heard any slander about you. But do you think that business conditions are ripe to open a newspaper stand? Well, they're ripe for me anyway. All right, Bill. I think we can manage to let you have that alone. Oh, boy. Oh, Miss Kelly. Will you draw up a loan for $3 for Mr. William Coldbook? What? Why, yes, sir. Right away. And, uh, Miss Kelly, tell the office boy he doesn't need to go out to buy papers. Hereafter, we'll take from Mr. Coldbook. Yes. Oh, boy, thanks. Don't you think the idea's got possibilities, Mr. Rudlin? Sounds good, Bill. And why don't you get a regular route besides people to subscribe through you? Say, that's great. No wonder Mom says you're smart. How is your mother, Bill? Well, there's nothing wrong with Mom. Money can't cure. That's why I'm starting now. Good boy. Take care of her, Bill. She's a fine woman. Help me to start serving dinner, Miss Coldbook. I suppose you might as well, Bueller. I guess they aren't coming. Yes, sir. Oh, I was so sure they'd be back for dinner, Bill. I couldn't believe they meant it. Well, I can't see why you want to be sad about losing three pelucas like them. Oh, maybe it's not all together their fault, Bill. Maybe I've trained them badly. I've always allowed them to be completely free about everything. They think I've done wrong. And I suppose they feel justified in leaving, especially with all that cowl and can offer them. Look, sweetheart, did you ever have a talk with Mr. Rudlin before he made those bum investments? No, I didn't. I wish you had. He seems like an awful nice guy to me. What do you know about him? Well, I'll tell you. I figured that since we were broke, he didn't even make some money. So I decided to go into the newspaper business and went down to borrow some money from him. You borrowed money from Mr. Rudlin? Well, I'll pay him back. I only got $3. But Bill, how did you happen to go to him? Well, Mrs. Crosby recommended him. You know, I told you I was over the other day and we kind of got to be good friends. Bill, you certainly get to the strangest places. Well, Mrs. Crosby's all right.  Yes, I will. But not now. I've got too much on my mind. Yeah, I guess so. Oh, I don't know which way to turn, Bill. No? Well, I don't want to be telling you what to do, sweetheart. But I think the first thing you ought to do is look for a job. Bill, I think you've got something there. How to operate a condometer? What's that? Never mind, do you type? Well, not very fast. And of course you don't know short. No, no, I don't. I'm sorry, but there's nothing. Well, Mr. Barnes, I know it. I don't doubt that, Mrs. Colbrook. But you see, it would be embarrassing for our customers to have to buy merchandise from a former member of their social set. There's nothing I can do. Sorry. All right. Thank you. Mrs. Colbrook, but in our business, one has to be able to make friends. Do you think you could do that? Oh, certainly. I don't have any trouble making friends. Well, if you're sure about that, I think we might get along together very well. Don't you think so? Oh, no, I don't. Good afternoon. What's this? What are you doing here? I'm selling papers. You want one? Bill, does mother know about this? Sure she does. A Colbrook selling newspapers. What's the matter with that? My mom says it's okay, and if she says it's okay, it's okay. I'll put a stop to this if it's the last thing I ever do. She's disgraced the Colbrook name long enough. Come along, children. Just a minute. Dude, are you anyway? What do you so mean to her for? That goes for the rest of you, too. Keep your voice down. People are looking at us. Let them look. They ain't seeing much. Children, come along. Hurry, children. Yeah, hurry. You ought to be ashamed. There's nothing but a lot of pelukas, all of you. Oh, hello, sweetheart. How you doing? Oh, swell. I made 80 cents so far today. How are you doing? Did you find a job yet? Not yet. Don't worry. Something will turn out. Sure it will. Sure. Look at me. A couple of days ago, I was broke, and I'm in business for myself. Yes, and you are a great success, too, Bill. Look, sweetheart, you don't mind, do you? I mean, about me selling papers on the street? Mind? Well, I'm proud of you, darling. That's all I wanted to know. I leave this house.  You'll vacate this house by the end of the week, and as soon as you do, I shall bring the children back to their home. You're doing this deliberately, Carolyn.  What have I ever done to you? I'm trying to protect the Cold Brook name. You've gone through a fortune and left your children no alternative but one of charity. And now you allow William to make a spectacle of himself selling papers in the streets. You have no consideration for family pride or your children.  Is that the way they feel about it? They do. And the sooner you and Bill leave town, the better it will be for all concerned. I realize you have no funds, but if you do as I ask, I shall see to it that wherever you go, you'll receive enough for living expenses. I don't want your charity. That's up to you. Good day. What's she want now? Bill, we're leaving here. Huh? What for? Well, Aunt Carolyn has taken a lease on this house and wants us to get out. Giving us the needle again, huh? Well, we can find another place. No, Bill. We're leaving Cold Brook. What? Just because she wants to get rid of us? Well, it's the children too. They're ashamed of us. Me being broke and you selling papers. Where do you want to go, sweetheart? New York. I've got just enough to get us there and take care of us until I can get a job. Couldn't find anything here? No. Oh, besides, Bill, the whole town knows about the children leaving me and I've got to get away. Okay. That's the way you feel about it. There's a train for New York in a few hours. Will you be ready? All right. I guess I can sell these papers there, too. I'm sure you can. All right. I'd like to say goodbye to Old Mrs. Crosby. Can I? Of course, dear. I'll pack your things for you. My heart. You shouldn't be alone like this. I'll get my mom. She'll know what to do. Hurry. Hurry. You just lie there and rest, Mrs. Crosby. Thank you. I knew Bill's mother would be like this. It was nice of you to come. You sure had me scared, Mrs. Crosby. I'll be all right now. Of course you will. The doctor will be here any minute. No doctor can give me a new heart. No, but he can help. You'll see. I don't want to rush you, Miss Colbrook, but if you're going to catch that train, you better get started. Yes, Pula. Are you going away? Yes. Bill and I are leaving town tonight. I was packing when he called me. Yes, that's when I came over to tell you, Mrs. Crosby. We've been put out of our house. But I thought your aunt rented the house. And that's just it. But how did you know? Oh, I heard about it. It's getting late, Miss Colbrook. You better hurry. All right, Pula. Wait a minute. What are you and Bill going to do? Look, Mrs. Crosby, you're sick, and it seems to me that sweetheart and I ought to stay here with you until you feel better. What do you think? I wish you would. Bill, we can't do that. Why not? Besides, if you leave now, the kids are likely to think you're just running away and don't care about them. We just can't leave Mrs. Crosby like this. Please stay. You would make me very happy. But Mrs. Crosby, please. All right, we'll stay. Bill, did you have this all figured out? Is that why you came over here tonight instead of going to your room and packing your things? Honestly, how? There are times and I think you don't understand me. Well, Doctor, is she any better? I'm afraid not.  This condition's been coming on for years. Now, well, it's too late. But isn't there anything we can do? Nothing except stay with her. She's very lonesome, and oh, yes. She wants to see John Rudlin. Will you phone him? John Rudlin? She was rather insistent about it. I'll be getting along now. Good day, Mrs. Colbrook. Good day, Doctor. Hello, Doctor, really? Afternoon, Bill. Hello, sweetheart. Bill, what are you doing home at this time of day? Well, I closed up for a while. How was she? She's been calling for you all afternoon. You'd better go in and talk to her. Okay. Bill. Bill, wait. She's very sick, Bill. Yeah, I know. But she'll be okay with you taking care of her. Look, darling, sometimes, no matter how much care you take care of people, it doesn't make them better. I don't know what you mean. Sometimes, people get tired, Bill. So tired that nothing can help them. They've lived such a long time, and they need rest. And then after a while, they stop trying to go on. There's nothing to be frightened of. Even they aren't frightened. Do you know now what I mean, darling? I guess so. She's a good friend of yours, isn't she? Yeah. Go into her now, my sweet. She's waiting. Hi, Duchess. Hello, Bill. How's the paper business? Swell. I made $1.20 today. How are you doing? Not so good. Has Mr. Rudlin come yet? No. Mom's calling him now. What do you want to see him for? Business. I think you're the only one who... Oh, gosh, isn't there something I can do for you? Yes. What?  I don't know any old ladies. Then... you can give it to me. Huh. What's this nibble and a bow? Nothing. I just got a little cold. Anything else you want me to do? Get Rudlin up here. Quick. He'll be here. Don't worry. He'll come. After a short intermission, Mr. DeMille and our stars, Kay Francis and Warren Williams, will return in Act 3 of my bill. Well, tonight we have our Hollywood fashion reporter, Libby Collins with us. Say, Libby, that's a very interesting little business you've got on your head. Interesting the best you can say for us, Mr. Rooick. Well, honest Libby, it looks good. But say, isn't that hat kind of different from what you girls have been wearing? I mean, softer and not so crazy, if you don't mind my saying so. More feminine. I'm glad you approve, Mr. Rooick. I found out a long ago, it's men you're trying to please, a little straw hat with violets and roses on the brim will do the trick. Mr. Rooick, hats are going to be really adorable this spring. But here's an advanced tip for girls who'll be wearing them. You mean not to be carried away and buy too many, Libby? No woman can have too many hats. But seriously, Mr. Rooick, it's what's under the hat that I want to talk about for that freshest springtime look. Now is the time to begin regular, thorough complexion care. Then, when a girl purchases what you call one of these little businesses on the top of her curls, she's much more likely to be glad of what she sees in the mirror. The luxe toilet soap comes in? It certainly is, Mr. Rooick. A few minutes, once or twice a day devoted to luxe soap, active lather care is a grand investment. I'm a busy person, so I don't have much time. But I can take an active lather facial in almost no time at all. It certainly does the trick. Libby, will you tell us how you take your luxe soap facial? It's very simple. I just pat the nice, rich luxe lather rinse with warm water, then cool and pat my face dry. Active lather really removes dust and dirt and stale cosmetics thoroughly. And here's the important thing. I take these luxe soap facials regularly. Never neglect this care at bedtime no matter how tired I am.  And thanks for the tip. To the women in our audience, I say, won't you try these luxe beauty facials for 30 days? If you're tired, famous screen stars take them regularly. They say their skin feels so smooth and soft after a luxe facial. Looks so fresh, too. You'll be delighted with this gentle luxe care, they tell you. So why not get three cakes of luxe toilet soap tomorrow? Now, our producer, Mr. DeMille. The curtain rises on the third act of my bill. Mrs. Crosby has passed on. But Mary Colbrook and Bill were this was her last wish. Meanwhile, Aunt Carolyn, established in the old Colbrook home, rules her charges with an iron hand. Things in the living room. Oh, I'm sorry, Aunt Carolyn. I was just going out. Where? Well, I had a date with Lynn. I thought you weren't going to see him anymore. Well, I thought it all over, and if it's all right with you... It's not all right with me. We'll discuss it later. Gwen, did you practice today? No, I don't feel much like playing. Now, if you want to continue with your lessons, you'll have to make them worthwhile. Yes, Aunt Carolyn. Did you see this in the paper? It's about Mrs. Crosby's funeral. Who's Mrs. Crosby? Well, that's a lady mother's been living with. Oh, I wonder what she'll do now. Well, they'll have to leave the house for one thing, I hope, then they can leave town. Maybe she'll be able to borrow some more money. From whom? Well, I don't know. I asked you from whom, Gwen? From Mr. Rudlin. Has she ever borrowed from him before? Well, I think so. Then I suppose she'll do it again. What do you mean? Stripes on the zebra. You can't change them. Well, I'm going up to bed. It might be a good idea if you all go to bed early. Put a change. Good night. Good night, Aunt Carolyn. I'm getting tired of being bossed by her. So am I. What right has she got to tell me when to practice? What right has she to tell me I can't see Lynn? Yes, and I think she's gone a little too far with mother, too. Forcing her out of this house. I never expected her to do that. If you ask me, it was pretty low down me. I saw Bill on the street today. He said that Mr. Rudlin was going to let them stay at Mrs. Crosby's place until the estate was settled. Yes, but what then? Afterwards, I mean. Well, I don't know. Something ought to be done. Something will be done. Only I don't want John Rudlin mixed up in it. I'm Reginald Colbrook, Mr. Rudlin. This is my sister Muriel. Well? We came here to talk to you about mother, Mr. Rudlin. Have you? Good. I've been hoping you kids would snap out of it and come to your senses. I suppose you want to follow Bill's lead and lend a hand. Looking for jobs, eh? Ever done any secretarial work, Muriel? Me? Well, no. The fact is... The fact is, Mr. Rudlin, we didn't come here to answer questions, but to ask them. Oh. Well, I think you have a few to answer. Why aren't you living with your mother? Aunt Carolyn said she'd care for the rest of us, but she wouldn't support Bill and mother.  Well, there was nothing we could do. Oh, yes there was. You could have thrown the house in Aunt Carolyn's smug face and walked out and got yourselves jobs. But I'm going to law school and Muriel is... Right. Ever hear of night school? Ever hear of boys working their fingers to the bone for their mothers?  One of the finest women who ever bore three ungrateful brats under thoroughbred. Get out of my office. Both of you. Now, see here, Mr. Rudlin, I came here to...  Get out. Don't go, Reggie. Do you think your bellowing is going to cover the issue, Mr. Rudlin? You can't whitewash yourself by scolding us. What are you talking about? She's talking about lending mother money without collateral. Yes. Is that any of your business? I lend her as much as she'll ask for. You're very generous, aren't you?  We know your reputation in this town and when mother can't pay... Why, you... Now, you listen to me. I don't care what you two unnatural children think of me or what you say. But when you become disrespectful of your mother, you become far lower than anything you might accuse me of being.  And I did it without thought or hope of repayment. There's a lot more I could tell you about your mother, but it would be a waste of time. All I know is that when I look at you two, I'm glad I'm not a father.  Sit down, Bill. I can't stay, Mr. Rudlin. I'm gonna sell 50 papers today. I think what I have to say is just a little more important. But I gotta get enough to buy a Mother's Day present for sweetheart. She'll get it. Look, Bill, I'm executor of Mrs. Crosby's estate. Yeah? What's that got to do with me? A great deal. You see? You're the sole heir to her property. Huh? She left you everything she had. As considerable stock, I won't know how much until it's liquidated. Then there are two houses. Two? Two? Yes.  You mean our house? That's right. Mrs. Crosby owned it, but it wasn't generally known. Now there's a clause in Aunt Carolyn's lease obliging your aunt to vacate. Immediately, I should the property change hands. Say that again. I said you had the right to take possession at any time. Yeah? Hey, look, could you do me a favor? Of course. What?  Huh? I've got some important business to attend to. Took you long enough to answer that, Bill. I beg your pardon? Who are you? I'm the butler. Oh, yeah? What are the others? Where's Aunt Carolyn? She's not at home. Well, that's swell. You can start packing because you're not at home either. What's that? That's right. You and Aunt Carolyn and anybody else is around. This is my house and I'm coming in, so get out of my way. Who is it, Jenner? It's me. Bill. Bill for Pete's sake. Bill, where did you come from? What are you doing here, Bill? I'm taking over. That's what. This house belongs to me. What? You heard me. Mrs. Crosby owned this house and she left it to me and her will. Are you joking? Do I look like I'm joking? She left me this house and hers and a lot of other stuff besides. And Mother's moving in right now. Bill, that's wonderful. Gee, that's great. Congratulations.  Oh, now wait a minute, Bill. There's something we want to tell you. Yes, Bill, you. Wait nothing. You can't come crawling back just because the ship isn't sinking anymore.  Oh, in just a few minutes, everything's cooking and I just finished fixing these flowers in the hall. Ain't they pretty, Mr. Bill? Mr. Bill, where do you get that stuff? I wonder who that is? If it's your Aunt Caroline, Bill, I hope you're gonna let me be the one to throw her out. Nothing doing. I'm saving that pleasure for myself. Hello, Bill. Sweetheart. Hey, how'd you know I was here? I told her everything, Bill. I had to. You're not of age, you know. Oh, that's right.  Where are the children? Children? Well... Bill, you didn't send them away. But isn't that what you wanted me to do? Of course not. Oh, look, Bill, this letter came this morning. Read it. Dear mother, we've been fools. And no matter how poor you are, we want to be with you. Please answer. You're loving children, regium, murial, grand. Don't you see, Bill? They wanted to come back. And you really want them? Oh, of course I do. Okay, I just wanted to be sure they weren't lying to me about this letter. All right, Billa, open up. Oh, there they are, sweetheart. Mother! Mother! Oh, it's good to see you back. Thank you so much. Oh, to have you all together again. That dinner table in there looks like a party, Bill. You bet it's a party. We've got something to celebrate. Oh, boys, Aunt Carolyn, now the fun begins. What's going on in here? What is it? Nothing unusual is going on, Aunt Carolyn. Mr. William Coldbrook is giving a party in his own home in honor of his mother. Bill's the name, ma. Have you lost your wits? My son has inherited this house. And a lot more, tell her. I'll tell her. He has more money right now than all the Coldbrooks ever stole from the Indians. This house, the Mrs. Crosby's house, and securities. I'll find out about this.  I'm the executor of Mrs. Crosby's estate. And Mr. Coldbrook here is now owner and completely with it in his rights. Who are you? Mrs. John Rudlin. Rudlin! Have you the audacity to bring him in this house? I have. Then you're more shameless than I thought. Robert's been dead for almost nine years, Carolyn. It's disgraceful. Goodness knows what went on when my brother was alive. Miss Coldbrook, I think you ought to leave. Yes, so do I. When I do go, these children will go with me. If their mother has no sense of decency, I have.  I'm sorry, Aunt Carolyn, but we'd rather be with mother. We've changed our mind.  Thank you, children. But your Aunt Carolyn has made some insinuations which ought to be cleared up. She has a narrow warped mind and I'm afraid she'd rather see evil than good in anything. Oh, I... I've tried never to speak badly of your father, but your Aunt Carolyn forces me to tell you the truth. Anna, girl, you tell him, sweetheart. I married your father because... Well, because I've been brought up to believe that wealth and family were the most important things in life. But I learned that human kindness and sympathy were much more important. Your father didn't seem to feel that way. Oh, not that he was ever deliberately vicious or cruel. He was only indifferent to people's feelings. I believe his family would call it being strong-minded. My brother Robert was... Keep quiet, Carolyn. I'm talking now. I suppose when the Coldbrooks first settled here, they... well, they had to be hard and disciplined in order to survive. And that was the way he wanted to raise his children. I believe that that kind of training was no longer necessary. But I told him so. Oh, we... we fought about it constantly. In time, we would have worked out our own problems, but his family wouldn't let us. They interfered at every turn. They hated me. They've always hated me. If you think I'm going to stay... You keep quiet.  Just let me get my breath. You always told his father was a swell guy. Well, I always wanted you to think so, Reggie. But it's too late now. I, uh... I had known John Rudlin when I was a girl. He was a bank clerk then, and... Well, I... I made the mistake of marrying your father instead of him. But when he learned what I had to put up with, he came and begged to help me. Your father found out about it. Gerard Carroll and the rest of the whole book saw to that. He began to poison his mind against me. He accused me of every dreadful thing you could think of, even in public, until I thought I couldn't stand it any longer. But I knew they'd never let me have my children, so I put up with it. Until your father died, and I was free of them. Mother, why didn't you tell us before? Because I've tried to spare you these things. Even after your father's death, I refused to see John Rudlin because of any possibility of hurting you children. Not even for financial advice, and heaven knows I needed it. But from now on, it's going to be different. I told my brother that you were in love with this man. Yes. Yes, I've always loved John Rudlin. And I knew that he loved me. So now we're going to be married. Gee, that's swell, sweetheart. Oh, I'm so happy, Mother. I'm all for it, Mother. Disgraceful, that's what it is. Ah, Carol, and I'm sorry for you, because I suppose you can't help being a cold book.  Don't you push me, Mary cold book. Oh, gee, I wanted to put her out. Aunt Carol, and there's the door. Stop it. You... And now, as Bill would say, Aunt Carol and Scram. Well, I guess that's that. Well, now, now I think we can have our dinner. Dinner, sir. Mother, here's something we bought for you. Oh, flowers. Three boxes of them, oh, darling. They're lovely. Thank you so much. Let's start practicing again. Oh, gee whiz. Well, Bill, what's the matter? I wanted to get you a present, too. Bill, you've given me the greatest, biggest present of all. What about the house? Dinner, sir. I was going to get you a real present with the newspapers I sold. Well, hey, I forgot. Mr. Ruddon, what happened to my papers? I sold them. All of them? Every last one. Here you are. Two dollars and 20 cents. Hey, wait a minute. There ought to be another dime there. Oh, look. Oh, that must be lit. By George, you're right. It was weighed down at the bottom of my pocket. Thanks. So maybe I'll take you in as their partner. How about it, sweetheart? I think it's a wonderful idea. Don't you, John? Mother. What is it, Muriel? Mother, can I go out to dance with Lynn tomorrow? Mother, listen. Well, I think, uh, what, Gwen? A bula, the door? Mother, can I? Always find it.  Oh, isn't it just grand to be back to normal again? The curtain falls on tonight's play, and Kay Francis and Warren Williams return to the Footlights. We congratulate them on a fine performance. Thank you, Mr. DeMille. And I know you'll join us in awarding a big red apple to Dick Stavis, who played Bill tonight. He certainly deserves it. He's a fine trooper. No, we haven't got a red apple handy. Just suppose we find him another part instead. Kay, it was very pleasant appearing with you again. Just like old times, Warren. It's several years since we did the picture together. You know, Kay, I like to remember Warren as a tall, decisive figure in a toga. A toga? I imagine he looks well in one, but why? Well, he played Caesar for me in Cleopatra.  Purely the inspiration I had from the director, CB. Seriously, though, it's grand to be here in this theater again, Mr. DeMille. I've enjoyed it. And I want to tell you that I'm still absolutely loyal to Lux soap. It's been several years since I discovered what a help it is in keeping one's complexion smooth. And now I wouldn't think of using any soap but Lux. Great minds run on the same channel, Kay, when it comes to Lux soap. And I know the audience is anxious now to hear about next week's play, Mr. DeMille. Well, it's one to really get excited about, Kay, because next Monday night, we're going to present Bob Hope and Constance Bennett in The Awful Truth. It's a madcap comedy with Bob in a part of a young man who's trying to win back the love of his former wife against pretty tough competition. Frankly, we believe it's an even better play for Bob than the one we had when he was here last year. So if you're looking for a really entertaining hit, don't miss Bob Hope and Constance Bennett in The Awful Truth at this microphone next Monday night. I certainly won't, CB. It sounds like a great show. Good night. Good night. Good night. Good night.  Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Toilets soap, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night when the Lux Radio Theatre presents Bob Hope and Constance Bennett in The Awful Truth. Mr. Cecil B. DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood. Kay Francis has just finished the picture of the man who lost himself, by Larry Fox for Universal Pictures. Warren William will soon be seen in the Columbia picture. The lone wolf takes a chance. Heard in tonight's play were Dix Davis as Bill, Claire Videra as Aunt Caroline, Janet Waldo as Muriel, Sydney Miller as Reggie, Barbara Jean Wong as Gwen, Werner Felton as Mrs. Grosby, Edward Arnold Jr. as Lynn, Bernice Pilot as Bula, Lou Merrill as Truck Driver, Ferdinand Munier as Doctor, L.A. Romstead, James Reed and Tommy Lane. Our music is directed by Louis Silvers and your announcer has been Melville Roy. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Paris Agreement is very much in the news. Countries have pledged to reduce the CO2 concentration in order to maintain global temperatures at two degrees above pre-industrial level. This figure shows the CO2 concentration as a function of time. The colors show the top four emitters, the USA, the European Union, India, and China. The black line is the global total. So if you focus on after 2015, the black line shows the emission pathway we must be on to achieve that two-degree target. And obviously, very ambitious reduction schedule is very much needed. Country emissions are self-reported. So my challenge is, how do we know if the country is maintaining their pledges and how can we encourage them to do better than their pledges? So we know speed limits are effective if there's feedback. And the radar gun is a very effective feedback. So a model for 3D verification must be trust but verified. So the Jet Propulsion Laboratory has developed a new instrument called the Orbiting Carbon Observatory, OCO. That's the chemical formula for CO2. So the OCO uses reflected sunlight to measure the number of molecules of CO2 and oxygen in the pathway. It's really cool. The pixel is three square kilometers, and the satellite's going at seven kilometers per second to give us a view of CO2 of the entire globe. The CO2 OCO was scheduled for launch for 2009, unfortunately. The rocket, instead of going up into space, went down into the Southern Ocean. So we all worked to argue for reflight, which was approved in 2010. So the rationale for the reflight was climate treaty verification. Here we go at Vandenberg Air Force Base. And so the reflight was scheduled for launch at 2.56 in the morning on July 1, 2014. I was out there in the cold California fog. I was grateful for the hot coffee supplied by the food trucks. But unfortunately, the launch was aborted 40 seconds before target because there was a valve wasn't working. So lucky for us, it was quickly replaced, and we have a successful launch the following day. So this is the first picture. It's very exciting to me, the first picture from the satellite. And you can clearly see that Pasadena, the urban part of LA, has much higher CO2 concentration than Edwards Air Force Base. So my challenge is, how can I use this data, this marvelous set of data, for treaty verification? So we at Berkeley have been developed a new mathematical system to do just that. So in the model, I asked the question, suppose China can pick any country has underestimated its emissions. It is a large country, and comprehensive surveys are very difficult. So can we tell using the satellite data? And it's very exciting. Here is what the model tells me. The extra CO2 needed to match the observations. So you can see the red region over China is clearly showing us that that country was under-reporting in the hypothetical experiment that I carried out. And the blue means no worries within the uncertainty of the system. When I sum up the extra CO2 for four large regions, what we see is that for East Asia, that's the red bar, that we can recover the missing emission. So it's not totally clean at the moment because how CO2 is blown around depends on the wind. And so we know that weather forecast models are not yet perfect. And so there's still uncertainty that we're working on. But we're really excited. This is the first demonstration that the satellite data are useful for retrieving emissions of fossil fuel CO2. So we're very encouraged. So OCO2 now is flying at the head of a constellation of satellites we call the A train. A for afternoon over past time. Okay, so you can see between the first and the last one, it's very short time. So the A train is measuring the CO2, the temperature, the water vapor, the clouds, the aerosol, the ozone and everything. So now we have a very good monitor, not just of the CO2, but of the health of the planet. Looking forward, OCO2 is scheduled to be on the space station. And so what we also have is geocarbon is also approved to be on a geostationary satellite over the Pacific. So we are very excited. We hope that the radar gun that we have developed at Berkeley will contribute to 3D verification and the health of the planet. Thank you very much.


Plants and algae produce triacylglycerols, tags, as a form of energy storage. These tags consist of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol backbone and are a major source of nutrition and nutraceuticals. There are two main pathways for their production, an acyl-CoA dependent pathway and an acyl-CoA independent pathway. Both pathways involve the conversion of carbohydrates into fatty acids, which are then combined with other fatty acids to create tags. Additionally, algae contain high levels of very long-chain, polyunsaturated fatty acids, VLC, Pufas. Genetically engineered plants can now be used to increase the amount of VLC Pufa in oil seeds by introducing genes from algae.
