Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Charles Boyer, Paulette Goddard and Susan Hayward in Hold Back the Dawn. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. There's glamour in the air tonight. Our stage is ablaze with it and out beyond our footlights as far as radio can reach. A hushed audience waits to hear Charles Boyer, Paulette Goddard and Susan Hayward in the Lux Radio Theatre.  Only a few hours from here, along the common boundary of this country and its sister Republic, Mexico, is a colony of people without a country. Men and women from the four corners of the earth waiting their turns to cross the border into the United States. There you can find more stories of success and failure, of tragedy and comedy, of love and hate than fiction can tell in a lifetime. And their paramount found the subject for the current screen success, Hold Back the Dawn. You'll hear it tonight with two of its original stars, Charles Boyer and Paulette Goddard. And with them, the gifted and charming Susan Hayward. In the theatre it's an old custom for the producer to peek out front and count the house. Well, I couldn't do that in the Lux Radio Theatre, even if my eyes were as sharp as my granddaughters. But I have an idea that tonight's plays and stars have drawn a full house all the way from Hollywood to Broadway. And as one showman to another, I'll congratulate Lux Toilet Soap for making an evening like this possible. And just for the record, if you haven't tried our product yet, that's something you owe to yourself, not to us. Lux Toilet Soap is its own best salesman. And after it sold itself to you on its own merits, then just think of the Lux Radio Theatre as an extra dividend that you get every Monday night. And now it's dividend time. So we'll raise the curtain on the first act of Hold Back the Dawn, starring Charles Boyer as George, Paulette Goddard as Anita, and Susan Hayward as Emmy. Perhaps the best way to begin our story is to tell you how it came to be made as a motion picture. One day about a year ago, a visitor walked into the Paramount studio here in Hollywood. He had no visitors pass, but he managed to attach himself to a group of sightseers who were touring the lot. The man wanted very badly to speak to a certain director, who, for the purposes of our story, we'll say was myself. I was shooting that day on stage four, and sometime during the morning, I became conscious of this man standing quietly at my side. He was still there when we broke for lunch. All right, cut. Print the last two. Break for lunch, back in one hour. One hour, everybody. One hour. Dorothy, leave my script. I want to look it over. It's right here. Beg your pardon. May I speak to you? What's that? If I can have just a minute. I'm very pressed for time. Well, what is it? We met in Nice. Remember? At the parochial? Oh yes, yes. Hello. I hate to presume on that chance meeting, but I need $500. You need what? $500. I must have it. This is not charity. For that money, I have something to sell. Well, what is it? A story. Oh, I see. Well, in the front office, we've got a story department, and we've also got a lot of stories. No, no, you haven't got this one. Listen, please. I'm not a writer. I assure you I will not tell you the story if I didn't need the money. All right, all right, but some other time. No, it must be now. Before the federal police take me. Federal police? What do they want you for? Well, that's part of the story. Please, I have so little time. Well, all right, let's hear it. Oh, thank you. Of course, I cannot use the real name of the others. You will understand that. My own name is Georges Covezco. I was born in Romania, but I have spent most of my life in Paris and Riviera in Samarit. My papers give my occupation as dancer, which is correct in a general way. Oh, it was an easier life if you had a deep voice and knew how to look at a woman. But the war came. People who had money made for America. But you need a visa to go to America, unfortunately. And for certain reasons, it was wiser for me to try to get in more discretely. So I went to Mexico, to a little town that straddles the border to California. There is a wire fence there, or you can see right through it into the United States. Yes, the wire fence. Now, let them tell you it's only 12 feet high. It's a thousand miles high. Some people try to climb it. It's no use. They catch you when you get on the other side. The main street is called the Cairois. There was an American consulate, of course, where you could apply for a visa. It was the first place I went. Get down, Mr. Vasco. I see from your questionnaire that you wish to enter the United States permanently. Yes, sir. That will require a quota number. Do you know what a quota is? No. Every year, the United States permits the entrance of about 150,000 immigrants. That number is proportioned among the various European countries. You were born in Bucharest, so you come under the Romanian quota. Yes, sir. The Romanian quota is very small and very crowded. Oh, that means I'll have to wait? How long? From five to eight years. Five to eight years? Five to eight years. Like a prison sentence. The local hotel was called the Esperanza. The rate was a dollar a day, but you'd better take your room by the year if you could get one. They were all taken, crammed with people, waiting, waiting. And so I began my sentence. I was still there five months later, on the 4th of July. There were a great many American cars on the Cairois that day, all celebrating with firecrackers. I noticed a car by the curb filled with young boys. It had a sign painted on it. School bus Azusa, California. When I reached the car, one of them leaned out and threw a firecracker at my feet. Who did that? I said, who did that? It was me, Miss Brown. You mean it was I? I'm not very proud of you, Tony. Apologize to the gentlemen. Thank you very much, Madame, but it is not necessary. No, no, please don't go. The boy must apologize. It's a matter of discipline. You see, your form of humor, I don't appreciate.  All year long, they stir up mischief for the 4th of July. I see. Well, I think it would be preferable if they let off their high spirits in America, under the feet of Americans. No, don't let's get into international complications. See, there is a fence back there. You Americans make a very definite point of it. I gather you don't like us very much. Very little. Oh, I see. Shall I apologize now, Miss Brown? Don't you dare to. Come on, children. So I turned from the street and went into the cafe climax, a filthy little bar where I spent my days and nights. It was there that I met Anita. Oh, I hadn't seen her for years. She came up behind me as I sat there and spoke over my shoulder. And now we present the dark sensation of the Riviera, George and Anita. Anita? Stop staring, George. It's me all right. Yes, it must be. I saw the back of your head. It's different than the back of any other head. What do you mean? Need a haircut?  The sight of you was still like touching a high-tension wire. After all these years, after that last goodbye of ours. Yes, casino at Cannes. An abrupt goodbye, if I remember. Very.  I can still feel it.  We had a good run of luck. You had that rich barrel, the one with a glass eye. I had Mrs. Sweeney. Cannes soup, Sweeney. Well, they were platinum cigarette cases in that soup. You had to step in and spoil everything. I simply said, listen, Mrs. Rich Soup, just because you've got money. Well, maybe it wasn't the right way to talk to a customer. It's good to see you, just the same. What are you doing here, Anita? Down for the day from Los Angeles with some people. Those drunks at that table. It's not the same Anita George. Well, it's not the same George. You do look a little frayed. You're living here? Yeah, waiting to get a course. Hotel Esperanza. I served a little time there. Oh, that sight. You're Australian. Well, vaguely. How long for your quarter? Whatever it was, I didn't wait that long. How did you get in? Meet Mrs. Shaughnessy George. I married an American. And what? And simple, if you're married to an American, you get preference. Go to Washington and in four weeks, everything is settled.  No, but they let you into the country. Three years before you become a citizen. Anita, where are you, Anita? Who's that? Your husband? No, Shaughnessy was a jockey from Caliente. Five foot three. Once over the border, I went to a judge. I said a woman wants a man, not a radiator cap. Divorce grant. $50. Very smart, Anita. I haven't been very smart since, George. I'm on the bargain counter now. Anita, where are you? You better go. Let him wait.  I want to keep them open once again. You better go. Hey, what goes on? Who is this guy? It's all right, my great big bull. Come along. That guy's bothering you. Come on, my torero. Come on. I sat there, thinking over what Anita had said. You just marry an American, as easy as that. Get hold of your wedding ring, and you could swing right over that fence. Just get a shave, get into a good suit of clothes. Why not? My intentions were entirely honorable. Object, a trimony. I met many women that day, American women, but all they wanted was a few hours of fun. When you go serious, they flooded away. So I was depressed that evening, but on my way back to the hotel, I saw the school bus. You know, the one from Azusa, California. It was stuck in the middle of the road. Now, children, please go and sit down over there. You, mechanic, can't you give me any idea how long it will take to fix my car? I still must have dry a generator soon. Soon? You said it would be done by three o'clock. The motor was flooded, we have to dry. All right, but please hurry. Good evening. Oh, good evening. Still with us? Yes, I know you don't like us, but I promise we'll get back over that border as soon as we can. Oh, no, no, please, I feel very badly for you. How do you think I feel? Sitting all day here in front of this awful filling station. Children are as cross as two sticks. Are any of them your children? No, I'm a school teacher, and I'm responsible for them. Although they'll be in a perfect tizzy about us back home. Well, of course, they're parents, and maybe your husband. I haven't any husband. But if we're not back by nine o'clock, Mr. McAdams, the principal, will think we're dead in a ditch. Well, while you're waiting for the car, why not telephone and tell him you're all right? They said there was no telephone. Oh, yes, there is one at the hotel. Oh, yes? Across the street. May I show you? Will you? Oh, thank you, Mr. Georges Kovescu. My name is Miss Brown. This way, Miss Brown. So we went across to my hotel, Miss Brown and I. But before I left, before I left the car, I managed to get rid of one of the parts the mechanic had laid out on the street. I pushed it into a drain. So when we came into the lobby, I was afraid for a moment that the clerk behind the desk would ask me about my bill. Mr. Kovescu, tell me, do you ask him about the bill? Not just now, Flores. We want to telephone. What is the number, Miss Brown? Azusa, California, 30991. That's not cheap. Long distance. Flores, please. Go in the booth and ask for the number. Si, si. 30991. Azusa. That firecracker this morning, maybe I should be grateful to your pupil now. Why? Perhaps I would never have seen you. Cigarette? No, thank you. The school board doesn't approve. Well, to tell you the truth, I don't like them much. Miss Brown, may I ask you something? What?  My hat? Yes, your hat. I want to see you without it. That's an odd request. Doesn't the school board approve? I don't think there are any regulations about it. There. Well? That's amazing. Your name is not Margot. No, it's Emmy. She had the same hair. Only it was always must by the wind that went her in some of its. Who are you talking about? You thought I was better, Miss Brown, when you first spoke to me on the street. It was because I saw another woman in your face, Margot.  Ears were bad. Eyes that seemed to be saying beautiful things, and everywhere they spoke, a lie. I knew it and I loved her. I had to come here to the end of the earth to know that I really hated her, that I had always hated her. Oh, I'm sorry. No, just look at me, Miss Brown. Keep looking at me. Oh, it's like a sudden breeze on a stifling day. Azusa 30991 is on the telephone. Oh, thank you. Hello? Who is it? Oh, yes, Mr. McAdams. Yes, I called to say we had an accident. Don't get excited, it wasn't really an accident. Yes, we'll be back as soon as we can, Mr. McAdams. Yes, Mr. McAdams. Yes, I'll look out for drunken drivers, Mr. McAdams. Goodbye. Is everything settled? Yes. I do appreciate your taking so much trouble. Thank you very much. Not at all. The car must be ready by now. Oh, I want to pay for that car. No, no, please, Miss Brown, I am in your debt. But there is no way I can pay you for the loveliness of these few minutes. I thank you, Miss Brown. May I kiss your hand? Oh, you're the strangest man. Oh, perhaps the loneliest man. Go back. Let go, let go. I show you. Miss Brown, Miss Brown.  Miss Brown. Tony, what's the meaning of this? He kicked me in the leg. Tony, why did you do such a thing? Because he twisted my arm. Why did you twist his arm? Because he stole the gachkett. I did not. I didn't touch it. What is this about a gachkett? The gachkett, your generator. On our car? See, it was there. I tried. Is it important? She won her own without. Oh, children, this is serious. Did any of you take it? No, no, no. See, tomorrow morning. But that's impossible. Of course it's impossible. Perhaps we could find another car. Thank you, but I couldn't leave the bus behind. It's school property. All right, Miss Brown. Flores, we're having guests tonight. Who's having guests? Oh, no. I mean, we can't stay all night here. Of course you can. Oh, that one need a room next to yours? Yes. It's gone. I rented it this afternoon. All right, I will find something else. I will not let the children out of my sight. Not for a single second. Of course you won't. You and the children can all sleep here in the lobby. There are enough couches and armchairs. Flores, get blankets and pillows. But who is going to pay for all this? Flores, Flores, please. See, see, see. Oh, Nita, what are you doing in my room? The door was unlocked. I had just dropped in to borrow a cup of sugar. I thought you were with some people. Oh, I walked out on him. Was that very wise? Who cares? I've taken the room next door. What do you want, Nita? I've been thinking about you all day. The way you always held me away from you when we danced.  Didn't you ever love anybody in your life? I want you to go, darling. George, please. This is the wrong time, Nita. George, if we were in the States together, we're a team. There's still good seasons in New York and Florida. Or I'll get you across the border somehow. I know a lawyer. Maybe he can fix it. I don't need a lawyer now. Well, I'll scrape together some money, George. I'll give you anything, anything you want. Anything, Nita? Anything, George. Well, I'll take this. What? This ring on your finger. What do you want that for? Well, I can use a wedding ring. Thank you, Nita. Miss Brown had a hard time going to sleep that night. Her heart was beating fast. And her neat, tidy senses were all thrown out of gear. She found a kind of half-sleep at last. Then, about five o'clock in the morning, she stared. Oh, I know because I was sitting beside her when she opened her eyes. You'll wake the children. What are you doing here? You had no right to be here. Of course I have no right. No right to sit watching your face, learning it like a poem. No right to tell you that I love you very much. You must go away right now. Please. You needn't be afraid, Miss Brown. You see, we're like two trains, halted for a moment at the same station, but we are going in different directions. We can't change our course anymore and we can hold back the dawn. See? It's going light already. Soon the children there will be waking up. The shops will open and you will be gone forever. It is getting light, isn't it? You'd better go. You needn't be afraid, Miss Brown. Not of a dead man. I am dead, you see. I've asked myself thousands of times why they shouldn't bury me. Perhaps I know now. Perhaps it was to see the sunrise once more, to hear enchantment in a woman's voice, to feel a nearness, the warmth of her lips. No, no. Of course, no. You needn't be afraid. It's like a classroom here, isn't it? The pupils and their teacher, rules of departments, schedules and discipline. You are very conscientious, Miss Brown. No infringement of the regulations for you. No rebellions, no violent desires. Oh, if you found one in your sober little mind, you would tell it to go stand in a corner, wouldn't you, Miss Brown? I don't know.  One split second to snatch it happiness before it's dark again. Please, let me go.  It is all your kisses. It's all your life.  Your left hand. Why? Why? Yes, yes. It's a wedding ring, Miss Brown. I put it on your hand as you slept. It was my mother's. You see, you see how wild a dream can be, but you are wise and sane and cool. No, please. Oh, you needn't be afraid. Goodbye, Miss Brown. No, wait. Listen. Yes? I want to tell you. Tell me what? About you being lonesome. Other people are lonesome. So lonesome they almost give up waiting. Mr. McAdams always said I was crazy, but I knew all the time deep down in my heart that someday, somebody, somewhere, even though Azusa was at the end of the world, I knew you'd come. I knew you'd come. I knew. And so the trap was set. We were married that morning. She never had a chance. Little Miss Brown. In just a moment, Mr. DeMille and our stars, Charles Boyer, Paulette Goddard and Susan Hayward will bring us act two of Hold Back the Dawn. And now while we're waiting, let's do a little imaginary wire tapping. Mrs. Martin is telephoning her grocer. And a dozen oranges, two bunches of carrots, and then I want some soap. Yes, of course, luck soap. Three cakes. Will you send my order over right away, please? I'm going out. Well, it sounds as if Mrs. Martin is a busy young housewife, and you'll notice that she's pretty clever, too. She's just as particular about the soap that touches her precious complexion as she is about ordering the right kind of food for her family. She's one of the many young women who have taken Hollywood's tip on beauty care. Literally, millions have found that nine out of 10 screen stars are right when they say that luck's toilet soap is a wonderful aid in keeping skin smooth, lovely to look at, soft to touch. That's why these women give their complexions screen star care with daily active lather facials. It's such an easy, simple care. Here's all you do. You dust pat luck soaps, rich, active lather, lightly into your skin. This lather is so, so creamy, it feels as if you are actually smoothing beauty in. But you rinse with warm water, then a dash of cool. With a towel, pat your face dry. This beauty facial has removed stale cosmetics, every trace of dust and dirt, thoroughly. And it leaves your skin looking flower fresh, feeling wonderfully soft and smooth. Believe me, these daily active lather facials really work. You want the charm of a lovely complexion? The kind of skin that wins romance and holds it. Why don't you take Hollywood's tip? Try active lather facials regularly for 30 days. This beauty care of the stars can help you to new appealing loveliness. Remember, tomorrow, luck's toilet soap. And here's a thrift tip. Buy luck's toilet soap, the economical three cakes at a time way. Mr. DeMille continues with act two starring Charles Boyer as George, Paulette Goddard as Anita and Susan Hayward as Emmy with Edgar Berrier as Hammock. There was something compelling about that man's story, something that drew me far away from the deserted soundstage and carried me to his world below the Mexican border. I listened to him and I watched his eyes. They were desperate and treating at a time full of contempt for himself. We had to get the Mexican judge out of bed to marry us. The license was $6, but it seemed a sound investment. The ceremony was brief, the office drab and solid, but to Emmy Brown, being there was like standing at an altar in a cathedral. The town was just waking when we walked back to the hotel.  And I always expected to be married in the Margaret Martin Memorial Church in Azusa. Oh, you did? I never dreamed of anything so beautiful and exciting as this. Oh, my, they'll be surprised back home. Mrs. George Iscovescu. Or is it Fisco? I don't even know what you are. Rich men, poor men, beggar men. Oh. What do you love? At the thought of the family when we arrive in the school bus. You and the children and I... Unfortunately, I won't be able to go with you right away, my dear. You... You won't? No, not for another four weeks or so. Why not, George? Well, you see, I'm a foreigner. I have to wait for my visit. Four weeks? You mean you'll stay here and I... Can't you come down? How can I? We're all tied up with summer classes. I'm terribly busy. Well, it's only four weeks. Well, maybe it's better. I'll have a chance to break it to them gently. George, I'll write to you every day. I'm waiting for your letters every day. And you won't be so lonesome now. Promise? Oh, I promise. I won't either. I'll have this, your wedding ring. George, take it a minute. The ring? But... Please. Now... Now will you put it on my finger and say the words? The words? For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse. With this ring I thee wed. For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse. With this ring I thee wed. Till death do us part. Till death do us part. George, I'll never take it off. Never. Department of Immigration. Oh, George, this is priceless. What are you laughing at? Oh, these letters she writes to you. She really must be something. Did she send her birth certificate? Yes, right here. And here's the blank paper she signed for the petition. Well, I'd better get that written. Don't forget to send her birth certificate. Emily Agnes Cecilia Brown. And so young. Well, her letter certainly show it. How did you like the paragraph about her eyes? What eyes? Oh, listen. There's one thing I didn't tell you, beloved. You said you liked my eyes. Well, you might as well know, George, that when I read a long time of correct papers I have to wear my glasses. Listen to this part. Mother is fixing up the spare room for us. The scrap of chintz in this letter is what she's going to have for curtains if you like it. Well, how would you like this stuff for curtains, George? It's all real spots, dear George. My wife goes dear to me every day. She leaves me alone, doesn't she? I write her a few letters, throw in a telephone call, and once I cross the border... We'll be on our way to New York. Uh-huh. With a short stop in Azusa. Half an hour. Long enough to tell her of a love that was too great to last. A mistake that was too lovely not to have been made. That she was too good and you too low. Come on now, Anita. She'll brush up like a drop of rain. You swine. Anita had a superstition. She said a letter to Washington needed a drop of champagne for good luck, or maybe she just liked champagne. We went to the cafe downstairs and ordered a cheap one. Don't put champagne in it'll be champagne all the way. Well, I hope it will be a better vintage. It will be. Only the very rich will get a crack at George and Anita. We'll be very expensive, I'm afraid. Oh, they can write a surf on their income tax. You'll make a wonderful deduction. I knew. Hello, Mrs. Shaughnessy. Oh, hello. You remember me, Mrs. Shaughnessy? Of course. George, this is Mr. Hammock. Mr. Iscovescu. How are you? How'd you do? Mr. Hammock is from Washington. From the immigration department. Oh, yes? Kind of a surprise to see you down the side of the fence, Mrs. Shaughnessy. A gal that could hardly wait to hug every stripe and kiss every star. All 48 of them. How long are you staying this time, Mr. Hammock? Oh, two or three days. Just making sure the old gate is still here. How's your husband, Mrs. Shaughnessy? I, uh, I don't know, Mr. Hammock. We're divorced since a year. No, not really. You mean it's gone that beautiful love match? I really loved him then. Oh, sure, sure. Only once he got you across the border you found you didn't like the shape of his nose. If you're suggesting... Oh, I'm not saying anything, Mrs. Shaughnessy. You made the grade. In is in. Only there's been an awful epidemic of marrying up and down the border. The department has a new theme song. Is it love or is it immigration? Funny, isn't it, George? Well, I don't quite know what's being talked about. Well, we won't bother you with it. Did you see the bullfights, Mr. Hammock? That's why I came down. The two of you? No, no. I live here. We were all friends in Europe. Oh, Hungarian? Romanian. Signor Escovesco? Yes, Flores? I have a message for you. Oh, would you excuse me, Mr. Hammock? Oh, sure. If well, Mrs. Shaughnessy has heard me as a surprise. Yes, Flores, what is it? Your wife. She's in a room at the hotel she said for... What? Yes. Ask her to wait there for me. See? Tell her not to leave. I'll be there as soon as I can. George! Well, I wasn't expecting you. I know. Oh, look, George, our wedding cake. I brought it all the way from Azusa. Isn't it wonderful? Yes, you should have told me you were coming. I wanted to surprise you. Oh, Mr. McAdams was so nice. He's gotten a substitute teacher from Riverside. He gave me a week off and said I could use the car. Isn't that lovely? A honeymoon for a wedding present. Oh, and this... This... This is from my mother to you. My father's watch. The dentist's where I cut my teeth on it. Here's yours. It's yours. Oh, that's very kind. And this is for you, too. I mean, for us to start out with. What is it? $500. What? My father teaches college for high school work. I won't have time to take a course now. Oh, no. I don't want any money from you. It's all George. Please. Community property. But... It's the law in California. Please take it. Very well. Thank you, George. Oh, it was just like a madhouse at home. Nobody could believe it. And the questions they asked. And you ought to hear how they pronounce our name. Whiskey, whiskey, and it-ski-bit-ski. Did you see what the kids put on the back of the school bus? No, what? Come here to the window. See? A sign. Good luck, Mr. and Mrs. Iscavescu. Everybody laughed at me all the way down here. You shouldn't have parked in front of the hotel. What? Well, it's against police regulations. You better give me the keys. I'll move it into the alley. All right, George. They're right here. Thank you. I won't be long. Anita, here. George, I almost died when I saw that sign. I was just coming out of the cafe with hammock. Did hammock see it? No, I got rid of him. What's he doing down here? Staying for a week. Nice week to pick with hammock around. We'll have to send her back before he starts asking questions. I can answer any questions. Oh, you can. For instance, why you didn't mention you were married into an American. And all of that happened a little fast, didn't it? And isn't it a little unusual for a bridegroom to sit in a bar with Mrs. Shaughnessy? Mrs. Shaughnessy who also happened to have married an American to ease herself over the border?  Where can I take her? Oh, any place, but get her away from here. Take her south. Keep her there until a week's up. All right, all right. Here. Here is the letter for Washington. Mail it for me. And here's some money. Well, how come? Never mind. Take it. Uh, I offer us $180. Pay him.  Well, it's like old times. Good luck, George. So, I got Amy away from the hotel that afternoon. I thought I would take her to Ensenada no matter of 50 miles. But in the night and the storm, I must have taken a wrong turn. A turn away from the road I had been following all my life. But over all night, and when the sun came up, we seemed to be approaching a little village. There was a crowd of people, all walking or riding in one direction.  What's the matter, Shumosho? Had a good sleep? Yes. Where are we? In back of an ox cart. Riga, our lado. Por que tanto tráfico. Hay una fiesta en honor del santo del pueblo. This isn't Sunday. Where are they going? It's their pit on Saint's Day. They're having some kind of a celebration. Todos los novios y los recién casados vienen al pueblo a recibir la bendición. What saint is it, George? Well, whoever is the saint of brides and bridegrooms. Brides and bridegrooms? Uh-huh. They're being blessed in the village. George, that's the dearest thing I ever heard. Yes? All this time not telling me where we were going. You're wonderful, George. Oh, that afternoon we had our marriage blessed in the little church in the village. Amy, kneeling by my side, her eyes glowing with delight. After the ceremony we went outside in the garden. There was a foolish legend about an olive tree there. If the married couple shook it, however many olives fell, they would have that many children. There were three that fell as we stood there. This one is Joshua after my father, and this one is Helen because that's what I wish I was named.  And this one, what was your father's name, George? Gregor. Gregor Escovescu then. Mother's so foolish. She thought we should change our name to Ingersoll or at least Ives. I said nonsense. This is America. It's for the Rockefellers and the Joneses, for the McGonagals and the Frankfurters and the Jeffersons and the Slavinskys. You see, you see, George, it's like a lake, clear and fresh. It'll never get stagnant while new streams are flowing in. Well, your people are building pretty high dams to stop those streams. Just to keep out the scum, don't you see, George? In Azusa, when they learned I'd married a foreigner, there was exactly one person who said something nasty about you, Mrs. Beglo. She said, I suppose he's just one of those foreigners coming with empty hands to grab as much from America as he can. Mr. McAddon put her in her place. He said, I suppose your great-great-grandmother was Pocahontas, Mrs. Beglo. Funny? Yeah, very funny. She's really just jealous. You see, her husband ran away after she'd been married only a week. Oh, you like Azusa, George? Yes. There are wonderful opportunities. It's an up-and-coming little place. The fastest growing town between Los Angeles and San Badoo, people going and coming, building and making and selling. Why do you think we call it Azusa? Everything from A to Z in the USA. Well, I suppose I could sell quantities of brushes with this accent of mine. Oh, I don't worry about you, except for one thing. Yes? You smoke too much. Oh, well, I will stop. Thank you, George. She leaned toward me then and kissed me. In that hot July afternoon, it was like... like kissing fresh snow. I could feel her hand tremble on my shoulder. Of course, there was no hotel in the village, but we had the car, and we had planned to sleep in the back. It was a clear night. Start with great stars. She was humming an American tune. Perhaps so I wouldn't hear her heartbeat. Mine was beating too. I thought of the day I was to tell her it was all over. The day I was to cast her overboard because she couldn't fit in with my plans. Wasn't that enough? I had no right to involve her. I wanted her to be still Miss Brown when I left her. That's why I did the trick about my shoulder. See, I was out of the car putting the suitcases in the back. Ouch! George, what is it? Are you hurt? I'm afraid of... Oh, George, you're hurt. No, that's just my shoulder. I only doubt it's happened before.  No, no, no. Don't touch it, please.  We'll put a compress on it. Oh, no, no. I can't move it to take off my coat. No, let me sit here with my arm up like this. George, if we drove someplace and found a doctor, he'd... Oh, no. Not over these roads. It'll straighten itself out. Just go to sleep, will you, Amy? If it hurts too much, wake me up. All right, I promise. Now go to sleep. Yes, dear. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, George. We pause now for station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. After a brief intermission, Mr. DeMille and our stars, Charles Boyer, Paulette Goddard and Susan Hayward, will bring us Act 3 of Hold Back the Dawn. We want to take these few moments to show you that romance always tags a girl with a lovely complexion. Here are three examples. I am a fellow in high school, and I have a girl, and she is the one girl for me.  Honest, she's gorgeous to see. I'm a young man with romance in my heart, and I don't insist on perfection, but the girl must have one thing, not money, not brains, a lovely alluring complexion. I've been married ten years, but it seems like a day. I have such a beautiful wife. She's got a complexion like peaches and cream. In short, she's the pride of my life. See? Oh, loveliness has a wonderful effect. Why, everyone... Well, what I really want to say is, everyone falls for a beautiful complexion. Isn't it so? And here in Hollywood, the owners of some of the world's most famous complexions tell you of an easy care that helps to keep your skin at its very best, soft and lovely. It's just this. Use luxe toilet soap. Every night, pat the creamy, active lather into your skin. You'll love the gentle caressing feel of it. Rinse with warm water, then a dash of cool, and pat dry with a soft towel. This mild, pure soap, you'll find leaves skin-filling smooth and flower-fresh. It's Hollywood's favorite beauty care, and yet it's actually thrifty to use. Its tremendous popularity means a low price for each fragrant white cake. Try it, and the first time you do, you'll see why luxe toilet soap is the soap nine out of ten screen stars like to use for their lovely, smooth complexions. And from that time on, luxe toilet soap will be the beauty soap for you. The curtain rises as Mr. DeMille continues with Hold Back the Dawn. There was a strange story the man told me, and I noticed that every once in a while he would stop and glance quickly over his shoulder as if afraid of being interrupted. Then reassured, he would begin again. We traveled around for almost a week, Amy and I. Amy kept talking about the United States, about Alderdam and how her brother had gone to school with a very famous man by the name of Jody Maggio, and what the word swell means. That is exactly what she was, swell. At last, we returned to the border to the hotel esperanza. Oh, that was the shortest hundred miles. We couldn't drive around the block, could we? Just once? You couldn't make a mistake and think it is too mild at your due back in Azusa? No. Tonight, July 13th, parent teachers meeting, auditorium, eight o'clock. Oh, it sounds very dull. Don't go. I have to, Georges. The Adams would be seven. We'd better leave your suitcase in the car, then. Get the rest, come on. Georges, you don't suppose that if I went to the American authorities and talked to them, they'd let you come with me? Three more weeks, Amy. Congratulations. I could ask them how they'd like to be without their wives for three weeks. I've seen their wives. They'd like it very much. Good morning, senor. Good morning, Flores. Let me see this cover screen room, will you? Run upstairs, Amy, while you pack and have them fill up the car. All right, I'll only be a little while. Sure. Oh, I thought you'd never come. I've been dying here day after day, looking down the street, watching for that car of yours. Look at these telegrams. Oh, no, good news. Two offers. The Casanova New York or the Savoy in Chicago. Of course, we're taking New York. They're both for the 1st of October. Well, not the 1st of October. Oh, we can make it easily. Out of here in three weeks, there's plenty of time in New York to brush up on the Old Tango. Yes, but I'm not going right on to New York. Of course, there's stuff over in Azusa. Well, that'll be half an hour, you said. Well, it will be however long it takes. But we had it all so simple. She was too good. You were too low. I'll do it my own way. Do you mind? Oh, the slow way? Why do you have to take all the... You like the girl? Yes.   All right.  Well, hallelujah. That will do. You've got enough money to get you back to New York. I'll find you there when I'm ready. Thanks. And you just stand right in the middle of Times Square and whistle. Mrs. Iskavescu? Yes. Do you mind if I come in? Why, no. I'm Anita. I don't think George has told me about you, or did he? No, he didn't. I see you're packing. Yes, I have to get back this evening. Good.  Of yours? Yes, my wedding ring. Why, what would I be doing with your wedding ring? You're wearing it. You see, I loaned it to George. This? It belonged to his mother. Isn't he wonderful? The way he knows how to pluck at a heart string. You see, I gave him the whole idea. What idea? About the marriage. And let's give him credit. His execution was brilliant.  What? You remember the 4th of July? Why did you stay overnight? My car broke down apart, was lost. He kicked it down a drain to keep you here. All he needed was a few hours. He married me. He married you to pass that gate. For the same reason that I married my little American, and with the same ring. Well, don't stare at me. Take a look at the engraving inside. Toots for keeps. Just slip it off. No. Maybe you should know a little more about the history of George's Cavescu. Get out, please. Please. The first time I heard about George was in Austin. Lady Whitwood and her daughter had both tried to turn on the gas because of him. And there were others. Did you hear me? Get out. Oh, I know what you're thinking. This woman's a tramp, and she's in love with him. Well, I am a tramp, and I am in love with him. For 10 years I've loved him. Just as you love him. Only there's this difference. I'm his sort. We belong together. And you...   Now get away. Get in that car and don't turn back. And if you know it... Yes? You're wanted in the lobby. Who is it? Mrs. Iscovescu to answer. Mr. Hammack who? Listen, he's from the immigration department. He's going to ask you a lot of questions. Don't go. Don't see him. I'll be right down, Flores. Take my bag, please. You can't give him away. What for? It won't do you any good. I learned life from a schoolbook. Remember? Get out of my way. No, listen. Don't go down there. Don't. I had you all figured out, Mrs. Iscovescu. The first day I saw you. But if you have any questions, I would be glad to answer them. It's your wife I want to hear from. You just keep quiet, understand? Are you Mr. Hammack? That's right. Amy. I'll handle this. Right over here, Mrs. Iscovescu. Take a chair, will you? Please. I want it understood. I have no right to bother you with any questions. It's just if we think an American might be getting a dirty deal, we try to... I'll answer any questions. Good. Good. Now, how long had you known Mr. Iscovescu when you married him? A few hours. Had you any idea he was waiting to get into the country? Yes. And that he might have married you to turn the trick? He might. Okay. Now, if you'll take the trouble and start scraping the varnish off Mr. Iscovescu, an awful lot of interesting things come to light. For instance... For instance, the way that he made his living, that he was involved with a lot of women. And one particular lady right here in this hotel. I know that too. Listen, Mrs. Iscovescu, anybody can see the setup with half an eye. He asked you to marry him for the express purpose. You're making one mistake. I asked him to marry me. All right. He got you to ask him. Now, look here. With this evidence, you can get an annulment. It's a cinch. That'll slam the door right in his face. Get a what? An annulment, I said. An annulment? Mm-hmm. How do you like that, George? No thank you, Mr. Hammack. It's very sweet of you, but, you see, there's nothing wrong. He told me everything. You people always see plots and traps. It's a fine marriage, and we love each other very much. Well, I'll be the dog gardener. Maybe I'm just dumb. Sorry, lady. Amy, did any tattoo? Yes, she told me. Well, I've always been full of words.  Just one more word. Thanks. No. You see, I come from a small town. We don't have fine hotels. We eat in the drugstore, but we leave a tip just the same. I don't feel I was too generous for these seven days. Only perhaps when I met you, I shouldn't have been so vain. I should have worn my glasses. Perhaps I would have seen you then. The way I see you now. Goodbye. She left me then, and I stood looking after her as she got into the car.  And then, suddenly, do you believe in premonition? When a black wave breaks over you and you know something terrible is going to happen? Well, I had a premonition then. In my ears was the screeching of brakes of tires taking a wild curve. Before my eyes was her foot on the gas pedal, placing it down. I saw her. I saw her in that car. Faster! Faster! Faster! I can't hear you. See? See? I will tell Sr. Esquibesco as soon as he... See? Flores, is it bad? See? On a straight, empty road, no one knows how. She rolled over three times. She's in the hospital in Los Angeles... Be careful. He's here. George. What's happened? Something has happened. George... I know it. I feel it. There was an accident, wasn't there? Sí, señor. Bad? Sí. Where is she? They took her to General Hospital in Los Angeles. I'll... I'll take your care, Flores. No, they won't let you across the border. You have no papers. Give me the keys, Flores. Sí, señor. What do you want to do? Crash that border. They'll catch you and they'll never let you in again. Never! Get out of my way. Don't, George. I won't let you. All you wanted was a chance to get to the States legally, but you've got it.  They'll catch you. You haven't got a chance. George, please! So I drove across the border. That was last night. Through the gate, without stopping. Oh, I knew they would come after me, but I didn't care. It was five o'clock this morning that I got to the hospital. And it wasn't until I climbed those steps that I was really afraid, yes. Afraid it was too late. And nothing left that I could do. Are you Mr. Iskevescu? Yes. I'm John McAdams. Oh, I wish he... I'm conscious. We're very much afraid. The steering wheel was crushed against her. There's no fight left in her. Can I... can I go in? Yes, of course. The doctor's there. Amy, she doesn't hear you. Amy, it is George. I've come. I'm here. Amy, wait.  Keep talking. She doesn't know me. She must know you. Her pulse quickened just then. It's stronger. Talk to her, please. Amy, breathe. Try. Please. Try hard. That's right. Again. Now again. It's all right, Amy. Amy, breathe. I don't know how long I've sat there. But I must have said it a million times. Breathe, breathe. And then this afternoon, she seemed to go stronger. The doctor sent me out of room. Mr. McAdams was with me. The doctor said she's going to get well. Yes. I thought she'd smiled once. Amy, Mr. Iskavasco, I don't know if she ever told you, but for a while I had some hopes about Amy. She couldn't quite make up her mind between me and Teachers College. She was saving up for a post-graduate course. Oh, yes. Yes, I know. Then you came along, and we were both out. Teachers College and I. Yes, that's right. She had saved $500. What are you looking at? That's your city down there. That's Hollywood out that way. Hollywood? Where they make pictures. Yes. Oh, yes, of course. Hollywood. Well, that was this afternoon. When Mr. McAdams said Hollywood, I remembered you, a director in moving pictures. And that's why I came to you. You see, there were $500 missing to square the account. And I had some vague hope that, well, you know, perhaps if you liked my story, you would give it to me. I think that can be arranged. But what are you going to do now? You can't stay here. What about Hammock? Yes, what about it? Come on, Mr. I, you've given us quite a chase through every operating room in Hollywood. Come on. No, please. Wait. The story I've told you, if they can use it, of course the money goes to her. Here is a real name and address on this paper. I trust your discretion. I understand. Let's go. Where are you taking him? To jail? And have him eat off the government for a couple of months? Oh, no. I'm dumping him right back where he came from, across the border. On our way, Mr. I. Well, that's the story, as Georges Cavescu told it to me almost a year ago. But the real ending happened a few weeks after that. Down there on that border town where Georges Cavescu sat one afternoon in a little park, writing letter after letter. Hi, Mr. I. Oh, hello, Mr. Hammock. Writing to somebody? Well, I come here every day and write letters to Azusa, to the council, to Washington, to you. But you see, I never mail them. They go by air mail on the wind, like this one, see? Good way to save postage. Who was that one for, the one you just threw away? Oh, that's not the letter. It's an advertisement. Slightly reformed character, eager for some decent work. Any place on the globe where they will have him. In reply to your ad, we herewith inform you that we have made an opening for you, right in that border. What? A certain immigration inspector neglected to report a certain incident.  In where? In the United States. Not at the gate, with all your papers. I don't understand. Aren't you the husband of an American wife? Go on. Don't keep awaiting. Here I am. Amy. Oh, darling, everything's all right. They're going to let you in. Oh, let me see you, Amy. Let me look at you. Here are your papers, George. But you'll have to stay put for a little while. In Azusa. Do you mind, George? Azusa! It is in the United States, isn't it? Oh, it sounds very wonderful, Amy. And you will be there, won't you? George gives a proper salute to three fine performances. And now Charles Boyer, Paulette Goddard, and Susan Hayward return to the Footlights. Thank you very much, Simeon. I think you should join us in this curtain call. That performance as the famous director, Cecil Bidemille, was very convincing. I told Mitchell Lysen, who directed the picture, that I hoped I'd play his part, as well as he did. I just wish that I'd been your director for five minutes. You sound very bitter, Paulette. Well, you're in Reap the Wild Wind too, Susan, and you'll remember that scene where I get spanked by Ray Milan. Well, you have to expect plenty of, shall I say, action in the middle pictures. Yes, but he didn't have to keep shouting, make it more realistic, Ray. Why, everyone else on the set thought it was a wonderful scene, Paulette. Nobody ever loves the director. Don't ever become one, Charles. Never having been spanked at your command, Simeon, I don't bear the guise that Paulette does. Well, if I can't direct Mr. Demille, perhaps I can give the women in our audience a little direction or rather a suggestion. It's on the subject of complexion care, and two words will cover it. Luck soap. There can't be any argument there, Paulette. I've used luck soap for a long time, and I know that anyone who tries it will be just as enthusiastic as we are. And anyone who looks at either of you will run, not walk, to the nearest luck soap counter. What is the play next week, Simeon? Well, Charles, I imagine everyone remembers the famous play and picture, Merton of the Movies. That's our play for next week, but the big news is the stars we've cast. Next Monday night, our own special Merton of the Movies will be Mickey Rooney. And starring with him, Judy Garland. So I hope you can all join us to hear Mickey and Judy in this entertaining story of the young man who wanted to be a motion picture star. Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in Australia about Hollywood? Well, here is something I want to hear, Simeon. Good night. Good night, everybody. Good night. I think the whole company deserves a medal tonight. Our sponsors, the makers of Luck's Toilet Soap, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night when the Luck's Radio Theatre presents Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in Merton of the Movies. This is Cecil B. DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood. Today, America's oldest fighting force celebrates this 166th birthday. The United States Marine Corps was founded on November 10th, 1775. And so we extend our congratulations now. As always, the Marines have landed and the situation is well in hand. Charles Boyer will soon be seen in the Universal Picture Appointment for Love. Paulette Goddard and Susan Hayward were heard through the courtesy of Paramount. Miss Goddard appears in Nothing but the Truth, and Miss Hayward will soon be seen in Cecil B. DeMille's Technicolor production Reap the Wild Wind. The picture, Hold Back the Dawn, was produced by Arthur Hornblow and based on a story by Kitty Frings. Heard in tonight's play were Edgar Berrier as Hammock, Tony Martelli as Flores, and Fred McCoy as McCarrons. Tune in next Monday to hear Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland in Martin of the Movies. Our music has been directed by Louis Silvers, and your announcer has been Melville Royk. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Hi everybody! Welcome to another Barn's Takeout. My name is Amy Gillette and I'm a collection researcher here at the Foundation. Today we're going to go into gallery number 11 and look at one of my very favorite objects which is this sizable pewter tankard standing on this little chest and sharing wall space with paintings by Haim Soutine, Amadeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso and more. So let's go ahead and take a closer look. Here's the tankard. It's made in Germany toward the end of the 18th century. It's about 13 inches tall almost made of pewter which is a metal alloy consisting primarily of tin and as you can see it features some completely wonderful decoration. Most notably this ennobled pretzel flanked by lion's rampant. So let's go ahead and take a closer look at its crest here. So as we said in the center is this wonderful pretzel surrounded by three further loaves of bread. There they are kind of ensconced in this vegetal design with the kind of flower down here. It has a crown. The crown has jewels and these sort of floral finials. There's more vegetable decoration and I mentioned that it's bracketed by these lion's rampant here and here.  So here's one of them. Let's zoom in on him a little bit.  You can see the whiskers here, the tongue out and you can see he's looking towards this inscription up here that continues around onto the other side. And as you can see, it is in German and the sense of it is may God in heaven bless the fields so we may bake big breads and have a little money. So the fine sentiment, let's take a closer look at this lion over here as well.  So let's go back, find it. So at this angle we can't completely read it but we can see that it's surrounded by this reef here that's made out of wheat as another nod to its owners being on the baker's guild actually. And it's got this Latin inscription up here now which essentially says long live a well-made tankard and gives the year 1792. So altogether here we've got this big tankard. We've got this pretzel crest and I mentioned that it's the emblem of the baker's guild. So legend has it that the baker's got this emblem, this crest in the year 1683 when again, according to legend, the bakers were up overnight and there was a siege of the city of Vienna by Ottoman Turks and because the bakers were up preparing bread to be ready for the next morning they happened to notice some of them invading Turks laying mines and so they did rush off these bakers to alert the city commandant. They were able to thwart the attack and then the grateful emperor ended up awarding the bakers their emblem as a kind of thanks for saving the city from what would have been certain disaster. Now the veracity of this particular legend is disputable mainly because you see bakers emblems with exactly the same elements the breads the crown crier to the year 1683 but I think what it does show you is this huge amount of pride, institutional pride in the part of these bakers guilds which is actually a little bit complicated for this particular tankard because as much guild pride as we see in this exterior ornament it's actually stamped in the inside with the year 1766 so prior to this decoration was applied in the year 1792 which we're not able to see but it says right up there. So what's going on? It actually seems like this tankard might have been made for an individual because while it is big and goodness knows would hold a lot of beer at about 13 inches it's not anywhere near as big as the typical ceremony guild, ceremonial guild vessel to use during these communal ceremonies which were apparently very convivial affairs because their term Schliefkannen in German means essentially that they're so big that when they're full of beer you'd have to drag them to pass them to the next person. Either way it does seem that this one eventually made its way and was used and displayed within a guild. Now thinking of guilds, a note about craftsmanship. I want to turn our attention again just briefly to the long live a well-made tankard inscribed on its lid. Pewter was a material that was in use since antiquity and got to be common and popular for household use toward the end of the Middle Ages and thrived from there down to about the year 1800 and pewter's guilds were highly regulated full of professionals and if we just look at the level of craftsmanship in the inscriptions and the wriggle work that we can see in the the beasts around the pretzels you can appreciate it as a work of truly fine art which brings me to my next point. I did mention that this kind of artisanal pewter work started to fall off after about the year 1800 but happily this pewter found this pewter tankard found a second happy home in the walls of barns foundation so let's look at it down here and i'm going to read a letter letter to you that dr albert barnes himself wrote in the year 1948 explaining why he collected objects such as these so he wrote we constantly maintain in our books and our teaching that the great artists of all time have been not only the composers painters and sculptors but workers in the so-called useful arts like rottweier and pewter in fact i threw a bombshell into the teaching of art by claiming there was no essential difference between the fine and household arts i got the idea of proving my case by putting metal works immediately next to some of the best paintings from the 13th to the 20th century and so by putting by putting our tankard here in gallery 11 perhaps he wanted us to see that its upright form is not so very different from this portrait by modigliani or perhaps he wants us to see the pretzel in these writhing trees in this landscape by sutin either way long live a well made tankard thank you so much for joining um please hit subscribe and we'd love it if you leave comments thank you so much and have a good day i'm tom collins new bower family executive director of the barns foundation i hope you enjoyed barns takeout subscribe and make sure your post notifications are on to get daily servings of art thanks for watching and for your support of the barns foundation


Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with the Stock Swoosh, and I'm here today reviewing the spy. Called the market long in both the queues and the spies today. Gapped up and very aggressive, but worked in a one-minute high. The market is holding the low of the day. And for all intents and purposes, looks like it could possibly break out over the high. Could be today and could be tomorrow. We're so, so close. 248.91 is the previous high. Got up this morning too, 248.79. And I just want to go back. And I talked about this a little bit today in the room. But we had really talked about it actually a couple of weeks ago before the Labor Day holiday, how the market is strong, OK? And this looked bearish to many, many, many, many people. Made a big topping tail here. Gapped down, fell hard of the day. Rally, couldn't get it over the high. Made a lower high, made a lower low. Came down in here, pivoted. Gapped down here, fell red hard. But all along the way, the market has proven to shake off every piece of negative news and that it is very, very strong. This gap down here on this day that failed to go lower and rallied and actually got bought. We actually got bought. This gap down here actually got bought. And then it had the follow through was just a show of strength for the market, OK? A very, very, very strong sign that the market was going to make another new high. Of course, you don't know when until it does it. Last week was the volume with the Labor Day holiday. This morning, though, when the market gapped up, I mean it showed its hand once again. This is just happening. It's just doing it. It's just the market's just getting bought. You can't, you wouldn't be going higher like this continually over and over and over and over and over again without buying. This is buying. And there are people that are short this market here from the look of the stuff that's happened a month ago and they're going to have to cover in here if they haven't covered it already when we get over the high. So the market did not even pull in here. I had discussed that previously too. Even if we had, we would have still been holding the uptrend. We didn't have to, we didn't. We're not going to. We're going to make a new high. It looks like very soon. So it could even happen today, although we've hit through already the first target today. The second target's in sight, which is $2.49. And then the dream target for the market is $2.50 in the spy. Very bullish. Very bullish and no signs of letting up. So here we are in September. People talk about this being a month for selling. Haven't seen it yet, September 11. 16 years ago today was, gosh, where were we 16 years ago today? Can you remember? I remember where I was 16 years ago today. So it's just, wow, time just keeps going by. Doesn't it, people? And here we are, it's 2017. So remembering those today, people, 9-11, market higher continuing to show its strength. And we will see what we get. Going to ease into this fall earnings season, ease into the week. The market is a busy, busy beaver here today with buying action, and we'll see what we get into the end of this first half period, really, of the fall. September 15th is Friday. So we'll see what we get. Oracle is Friday, though, I know. It's Thursday night. Oracle is Thursday night, so I'll be watching that one. I just don't know if it's gonna gap up or gap down. So have a great week, everyone, and I will talk to you all soon. If you're interested in the Golden Gap class this weekend, email me at melissa at thestockswitch.com. Have a great day, everyone.


Oh, by the way that you're on, everyone's going crazy. They're saying, let's go, Yelly, Yelly. Hey, y'all in the chat, ask questions and I'll ask Yelly. How you doing, bro? Good, dude. I'm just hanging out, man. Same as you are probably, just trying to pass the boredom but also try to stay ready if we got to turn this thing back up here soon, which hopefully we do. Yeah, hopefully we start here pretty soon. Yeah, man. They're asking, what's your favorite song? What do you listen to before games? My favorite song. I don't really have like a, I don't know if you do, but I don't really have like a set playlist. I'm not really walking around with the headphones on or anything. It's really whatever the guys are playing, the clubhouse, and it's a different clubhouse DJ for us every day. Sometimes it's the same guy, but I don't know. I'm sure you do a good job of the two, but you usually do a pretty good job of getting yourself ready to play or getting yourself into mindset where you got to go turn it on and that whole deal. Maybe there's a day or two where like you really locked in and you got your own like playlist going on. You're really feeling something. You lose yourself M&M, you're like, let's go. Hey, all right, here's the next question. Start one, bench one, sit one. Or cut one, I'm sorry. Start one, bench one, cut one. Harden, Curry, or Kairi. Oh man. Harden, Harden, Curry, Kairi, those are the three? Yeah. Let's see. Probably startin' Curry, Benchen, Kairi, and I gotta cut Harden, which is gonna get me booed right off of this Zoom card. Get out, get out. I don't know, dude, you can't go wrong with any of those guys.  Oh man, I don't know what you're talking about. I've got no bias here, come on. But honest to be, he's startin' over everybody right now.   Just like a routine, man. Like this guy was so dialed in on his routine every day. Like, it didn't matter if he was starting, if he wasn't playing, it was to the point where, I don't know if I ever talked about this, but it was like the point where he would take the exact same number of flips in the cage every day. Bro, they told me in California pizza kitchen for lunch every day. Yeah, well, it would be like a different, it would be like a different thing. Sometimes it was like CBK, I think it was like Shake Shack. I guess throughout his career it was like different, different places that he really liked. I don't wanna blow his spot up too much because he's such a private guy, but it was fascinating to watch, man. Just how routine oriented he was, how he could get himself to prepare. Great dude, I really liked being around him. Awesome teammate, but it was so dialed in, dude. He was so in tune with his swing and what he wanted to accomplish. And you would probably heard the stories about him, like the home run dirt, like everybody say he could win a home run dirt, but I fully believe that after watching it. Hell yeah, what's your favorite ballpark to play in? It's always so hard for me to, that's a common question that we get asked all the time. I'm sure you do too. And it's hard for me to pick. I like aspects of a lot of them, and it probably depends on the time of the year and atmosphere. I like both of our parks, bro. Minimade and Miller, they're both dope. Yeah, that was your first time playing in Miller last year, right? Yeah, it's a good place to hit, and it's usually a pretty good atmosphere, good fans. I think that's the only place I could go deep to center. I was like, holy cow, I thought I flew out. That's a great place to hit. Why'd you shave? Everyone in the chat's asking, why'd you shave? They thought you were gonna keep it. Oh yeah, dude, so I was chilling the other day and I just took a shower and I looked at myself in the mirror and I was like, this just got, I just started hacking away at this thing, but there's still time for it to come back. It'll be back another week or two if I want it to be, but. Hell yeah. Yeah, I just hacked it off one day. Hell yeah.  I don't know. I mean, I'm sure there's some of them, but I don't really ever like giving anybody too much credit and it's not like- That's something you asked me earlier. Yeah, that's not a disrespect thing, but it's just like I have a hard time of like conceding to the fact that like I can't succeed against anybody on a given day.   Yeah, that's why I said 70 knows, 70 knows got my number, but I'm not gonna admit that just today, that's it. What's it like having Barry Bons as your hitting coach? I learned a lot from Barry and I did that thing with Ploof and the John Boy guys the other day about like kind of what I learned from him and took away from that whole experience and I tried to build on it throughout my career and as you know, that we're always constantly trying to get better, like just because you've had successful seasons and the big leagues doesn't necessarily mean that you're accepting of that and that you're cool with just staying at that level forever. We all wanna get, we all wanna reach like, I think we all wanna get the most out of our careers, we all wanna reach whatever like our peak potential is. So you're always in search of improving and getting better and like that's what drives you on the day to day and I learned so much from Barry and him and Frank Menekino combined I think really helped me out a lot. Hell yeah. And so things are both of those guys that I could kind of apply to my career and tweak in ever since. Hell yeah. Hey, so since this is a charity stream, we're trying to get as much money donated for the food bank as possible. I was kind of gonna put you on the spot and see if you wanted to sign a bat that we could raffle off to everybody who donates. If I can fire it off on that wall, then yeah, sure. Oh man. All right, so you're in. Who we got back there? So we got two of the Louisville Slugger bats from the All-Star game last year, the Fender guitars and a lot of Maruti stuff.  We got Jose Abreu. We got some players weekend bats. You down to sign one and send it off? Yeah, just send me a text after this award. Or to send it. I can get it to you. Sounds good. Hey, everybody in the chat, if you guys donate right now, you guys will be entered into that raffle and we will pick a winner. All right, last question for you. Sammy Sosa or Mark McGuire? I remember following McGuire a lot when I was a kid during that home run race. And that was before like you could go on the internet. So you'd have to wait and like check the newspaper in the morning, which I'm sure a lot of people on this thing have like no idea what that even means. But there was a time kids back in the day when you had to go away. So the newspaper came out in the morning to check on your sports news. You couldn't always go on Twitter or Instagram and have some instant validation or you would hopefully see it on the bottom line of ESPN. But I would remember like they each had like their head shot in the newspaper and then like a home run tally. And I would check that every day. And I was always rooting for McGuire for whatever reason. But I mean, I enjoyed watching Sammy too. You know, that's probably even before your time. No, that was like, that was my favorite. What'd you say? Hey guys, remember, Yelly's gonna, excuse me, Yelly's gonna be auctioned or given us a signed bat to send off to people who donate. So thank y'all for donating Yelly. Thank you for joining us, bro. Well, yeah, man, you're staying up all night. Like you're doing it 24 hours. We're doing it 24 hours. We got, actually we got Boris Diaz about to join in, talk about Greg Popovich, talk about his career, talk about his wine business. Yeah, we're just rolling, man. We got a bunch of people coming on, helping us out. So thank you. Thank you, bro. The most good work you're doing, man. Appreciate you for having me. And obviously, pulling for you guys to raise as much money as you can. Hell yeah, bro. We'll see you soon. Hopefully, we got a season. I know, man. Text me that address wherever you want me to send that bat. Just send it to us. We'll send it to them and we'll get it to them. Yeah, text me whatever address you want me to send it to. And then, yeah, dude, hopefully I see you down the road here for the season. Hell yeah, bro. You're the man. All right, man. Be good. Later.


James says, I'm looking for help and support. I am a Mac user, a Mac Pro 2020 utilizing SharePoint OneDrive. It stopped working at the weekend and I had to unlink it and set it up again, but it's now looking weird and is not syncing. Looking weird. Well, it's because you're looking at it through the Mac interface. Of course, it's going to look weird. Yeah, duh. Yeah. That's exactly what I was going to say. It's interesting to me that he had to unlink it and set it up again. I'm assuming that that means that the only way that this person is accessing his SharePoint or OneDrive files is through the sync mechanism, which is an option. You can always sync if you have problems, you do. You un-sync it, stop the sync and resync no problem, or you could simply go to the browser and even on a Mac, it works much better and much more intuitively. Typically, I recommend my Mac people. If you're having any struggles with the client applications, go to the browser. The browser just works phenomenally and on top of that, a lot of the new features are headed to the browser apps. It's a bonus on top of it. What do you do? I got a question on that, Sharon, is what do you do when you need the offline files though? When you need them to be offline, you can still sync them to a Mac book. Through the web? No, you have to have the client, correct? You have to have the sync client running. Yeah, you're going to use the OneDrive sync client the same way. Yeah. If you're having problems, then you won't have that functionality. But I was also going to add on to that. If you're having issues because it's not unheard of for the service to actually be having problems, one of those surefire ways of checking that is to go and see can you get into OneDrive via the web through the browser and see if there's something else that's going on. Maybe it's a permissions issues, there's something wrong with your profile that's messed up. Usually I'll say with the end users, the very first thing, if it seems to be having some issues, just go back to the document repository or wherever it is that you originally started from and press the sync button again, just in case something is going on and you just do a bit of a reconnect and then I've seen it then sync without doing that because when you do the unlink, they see the unlink and it's often leaving the files on the device and then they're trying to delete the files and they're going to do it. Then go into the OneDrive sync client, unsync the folders like literally go through choose folders and tick them off to pull them off first. Then do the disconnect if you're going to and then go back online and reconnect. But I always go before you go through all that, just go online, click sync first, and see if that actually resolves it in terms of just bringing that connection back if something's gone on, and then go through those next steps first. Is there any guidance also when you're talking about the offline access, how many items, how many folders, are there limitations or their best practices for how many that you click on and try and sync at one time? That's to you as possible. Yeah. Well, that's what I've learned. That's why I'm asking that question. In fact, there's a couple of tips around that. When you sync, you can go to the files that you're syncing and you can actually do two things. There's one that says clear up space and that'll actually remove any of your downloaded files from your machine, but leave you connected to your library. The other thing is you can actually choose certain ones to keep offline all the time, so that if you have a specific file that you don't want to go back to the Cloud, you want to keep it where you can access it on your computer. It'll actually always make sure that you have a fresh copy on your computer. It's really good to select what you're going to work with, sync to it, use it, and then if you're not going to be using those files for a long time or don't know that you're going to go back to them, then maybe stop syncing that particular library or folder or whatever because you don't want to maintain those syncs any longer than you have to. I mean, how many files do you sync as well? If it's particularly big, one, you have to be careful on your device, how many files do you actually have on it and that you're trying to have offline? If you're trying to take everything so that it's keeping on this device and you're going to start having some issues as to how many you can ultimately have. If it's going to contain more than 100,000, then you start to go, how many files do you really want to be syncing before it starts to max out and it doesn't like it as a client? Yup.


Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, accompanied by Governor Jim Martin. Of the United States. Thank you. Thank you all. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. And Jim, Governor Jim, thank you very much. And a very good morning to all of you. And having had a few minutes here to look at some of the signs, there's a lot of talent here that could be used on political commercials. And a very special hello to Jim Broighill and Jim Holthauser, Jesse Helms, Jack Hawke and Jim Gardner. You know, it's a real pleasure to come here to Raleigh and drive in the gold spike for Express 88. The train that will take us all the way to victory on November 8th. It's quite a treat for an old hand like me because I remember when being a Republican in North Carolina felt like being Gary Cooper in High Noon outnumbered in a big way. That reminds me of a story when you're my age, everything reminds you of a story. You know, there was in those previous times, there was a Tar Heel who was running for office as a Republican and he was out in the rural area and he saw a farm there and decided to step in and do a little campaigning and he announced who he was to the farmer and who said, well, wait right here till I get Maugh. She's never seen a Republican before. But while he was gone getting Maugh, the candidate looked around for something. He thought he'd give him a little speech and look for something in the nature of a platform and all he could find was a pile of that stuff that best Truman spent 35 years getting Harry to call fertilizer. And there he was ready to speak and when they came back he gave him a little Republican pitch. When he was finished, the farmer said, it's the first Republican speech I ever heard. The candidate said, that's the first time I ever made a speech from a Democratic platform. That's in the past now. North Carolina is a leader, a pathfinder as this country travels down the road toward the future and I'm here to help that future along from the state house to the courthouse because what North Carolina has been teaching this nation is that the future has an honest face, a good face, a conservative face. It's a future in which a responsible president will deal with a responsible congress that seeks to enhance our strength at home and abroad. And that, my friends, means a more conservative congress. On November 8th, that goal will be met when the great people of North Carolina go to the polls and send great congressional candidates like Tom Fetzer and Ryan's Gray, Ted Blanton and Charles Taylor to Washington. It's a future of peace through strength and prosperity through liberty. Personified by the men I believe will be the next president of the United States, George Bush. The opposition can say that ideology and values don't matter. The opposition can try to hide what they believe. Wasn't George Bush right when he said that the opposition is over there in left field, out of the mainstream of American politics, and their policies can only be described by the dreaded L word, liberal, liberal, liberal. Now from top to bottom, from president to congress to local office, especially here in North Carolina, this is what is at stake. This election this year is a referendum on liberalism. The choice before the American people this year is just as clear as it was in 1980 and 1984. A choice between on the one hand policies of tax and spend, economic stagnation, international weakness, accommodation, and from Grenada to Libya always, always blame America first. And on the other hand, the policies of limited government, economic growth, individual opportunity, a strong defense, firmness with the Soviets, and always, always I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States. When we took office eight years ago, America was in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We turned that around and since our expansion began, we've created over 18 million new jobs. That's almost two and a half times as many as Europe and Japan combined. We've reduced the unemployment rate to a 14-year low and presided over the greatest flowering of new businesses and new technology in the history of the world. And today, a greater proportion of our potential workforce is employed than ever before in the history of the United States of America. Let me explain something that perhaps many of you might not be aware of. You know the figure for the rate of unemployment. Well, of course, there are always people between jobs who are looking for a new one or new inference into the job. But that isn't the figure that counts. The so-called potential employment pool in the United States is considered to be everyone, male and female, from age 16 on up all the way. That is what they consider the potential pool for the first time in our history. 62.7% of that body of citizenry are employed in jobs in the United States today. Look at Jim Martin's North Carolina. The economy grew at a rate of almost 6% in 1987, the lowest yearly unemployment rate in nine years and last year over 120,000 new jobs statewide. And for the first nine months of 1988, the unemployment rate is the lowest it's been since 1973. In fact, several corporations from a well-known state up north, it's a place called Massachusetts, have been moving some of their business and operations out of the northeast and down here to the research triangle. How's that for high-tech Tar Heel know-how? Of course, you know that the research triangle park is also home to one of our most distinguished Americans. And just this week, and you know he's here in the place today, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine and he's with us here, Dr. George Hitchings. And now, what we've done with the economy is very important and it must continue. But what we believe in is much more than that. Our greatest treasure as a nation is our precious moral heritage, the basic values of faith and family that make ours a great nation. It's the power of the family that holds the nation together and that gives America her conscience and that serves as the cradle of our country's soul. I've often said that there really are only two things the liberals don't understand, the things that change and the things that don't change. The economy, technology, these things change. But America's basic moral and spiritual values, they don't change. Let me just give you an example of the difference between our values and theirs. The liberals recently proposed a federal child care assistance program. Sounds alright so far. But under their program, if you want assistance and wish to leave your children with their grandmothers, the grandmothers would have to be licensed by the federal government. Now, one of the liberal congressional staff members behind the bill was asked by a reporter after I said that the first time, was that true? And the reply came that, well, of course it's true. After all, and here's his quote, how else can you design a program that receives federal funds? Licensing grandmothers. Can you believe that? The next thing you know, they'll say that barbecuing ribs is an environmental hazard. Another area where we differ is crime. We've appointed serious-minded judges who respect the Constitution and know the meaning of the word punishment. Violent crime has fallen significantly since 1981 because we put criminals on notice, make a false move and the next sound you hear is the clang of a jail cell door closing. George Bush and I also believe that a crack dealer with a machine gun who murders a police officer in the line of duty should receive the death penalty. If you ask me, there are no Americans braver and no citizens more precious than the men and women who guard us, our state and local police. And George Bush and I stand behind them. But what about the liberals? They oppose the death penalty. They oppose it absolutely and in every case. And sometimes they seem to care more about the rights of criminals than the rights of victims. And if you ask me, we don't need to see the job of the police made any tougher by the kind of furloughing of first-degree murderers, even those ineligible for parole that we've seen in the state of Massachusetts. That state has the most liberal prison program since Billy the Kid sprung the Lincoln County Jail. Besides fighting crime and restoring our economy, we also went to work on our nation's defenses. We're once again respected in the world, our armed forces are strong, and America is at peace. We and our NATO allies stood firm in the face of Soviet missiles pointing at the heart of Europe and Asia. And Mr. Gorbachev got the message. He did business because he knew we meant business and we still mean business. I know that here and there there have been some people concerned that maybe are making some progress with them, means that I've turned somehow inside myself and perhaps not being as watchful as I should be about our Soviet neighbors. And that's not true. I just have one slogan that guides me. It's an old American slogan. Trust everybody, but cut the cards. But none of this, my friends, none of this could have happened if the liberals had their way. There would have been no INF treaty or rollback in Afghanistan or democratic revolutions around the globe. They opposed rebuilding our military defenses. They opposed the deployment of the missiles in Europe to counter that Soviet threat. They opposed the liberation of Grenada. They opposed the raid on terrorist Libya. They opposed our policy of helping freedom fighters advance the cause of liberty around the world. Vice President Bush and I did all those things, and I'll tell you proudly right now, we'd both do every single one of them over again. And there's something else, something else we've done that I'm particularly proud about. And that's pushing ahead in our efforts to protect the United States and the world from the threat of a nuclear attack by means of our program called SDI, the Strategic Defense Initiative. A lot of the research into SDI goes on around here in the research triangle area. And ladies and gentlemen, we've been so successful, so wildly successful in our research and advances that we've slashed an incredible $46 billion. That's almost half off the projected cost of our most promising freedom. And that's with funding levels I barely consider adequate to the task ahead. All I can say is one word. Wow. Let me assure you of this. SDI is no fantasy. It's a reality. And it's going to shape the future as long as there's a Republican in the White House. There's even more that we must do. We must go to battle to take the hill, capital hill that is. You know that like many of you, I'm a former Democrat. And it's often said that the once proud Democratic Party of FDR and Harry Truman is dead and gone. That the Democratic Party has been taken over by the left. That the departure from the mainstream, which we began to see at their 1968 convention, now defines the party at the national level, especially the liberal leadership in Congress. But there's something you should know. The party of FDR and Harry Truman couldn't be killed. The party that represents people like you and me that represents the majority of Americans, this party hasn't disappeared. The fact is we're stronger than ever. You see, the secret is that when the left took over the Democratic Party leadership, we took over the Republican Party. We made the Republican Party into the party of working people, the family, the neighborhood, the defense of freedom, and yes, one nation under God. You see, the party that so many of us grew up with still exists, except today it's called the Republican Party. And I'm asking all of you to come home and join me. I say come home because the liberal leadership in Washington has replaced the idea of checks and balances with the philosophy of adversarial government. Now when they lose in the national election, they fight a political guerrilla war for the next four years to block the policies that the American people have chosen at the ballot box. That's what the liberal Democrats have been doing in Congress for the last eight years, keeping the liberal Democrats in control of Congress is a certain formula for governmental gridlock and political paralysis. Let me take an opinion poll of my own. When you vote Republican at the top of the ticket, will you also make sure to vote for the tip-top Tar Heel 7? Howard Kobel, Alex McMillan, Cass Ballinger, and once again Tom Fetzer, Lyons Gray, Ted Blanton, and Charles Taylor. And will you make sure to vote for a great guy who's running for Lieutenant Governor Jim Gardner? Will you make sure to cast your ballot for Sam Wilson, for Attorney General? They all need you, and America needs them. Remember, it takes the President and Congress working together to move America forward. So if we have to ride two horses at once, shouldn't they both be headed in the same direction? So that's what's on the line this year. And why the thousands of you here today, each and every one of you, have a responsibility to get the truth out all across the Tar Heel state. Ladies and gentlemen, America needs the strength, the vision, and the true grit of George Bush, Jim Martin, and the tip-top Tar Heel 7. Express 88 is ready to leave the station, and it's time to tell all of America to come aboard. Now, I'm going to stick my neck out here and say something that maybe would have you think I'm sticking my nose in your business, but having been a governor for eight years and having had the advantage of the line item veto, which I used 932 times and was never overridden once. I have a suggestion for all of you. Get these people I've mentioned here by name in office and get to the point where you can add a little something to your governor's power and give him, first of all, the right of veto itself, which he presently does not have.  So far, we haven't made it together. Let me just say to you here, you know, I go back to something else. I've got a nasty habit now and a new hobby. It isn't a part of the speech, but I just can't help it. I am collecting jokes that I can find are written by people in the Soviet Union. And they are told among themselves. And it reveals a great deal about their sense of humor, but also about sort of cynicism with regard to their system. And every once in a while, I like before I leave and get some people like you together. I want to tell you one of those jokes. I told a couple to Gorbachev, and he laughed. But there are some I can't tell him. It would be tactless to tell him. But one that I did tell him, and I'll repeat to you, is this joke has an American and a Russian arguing about their systems. And the American said, look, I can go in the Oval Office and pound the President's desk and say, Mr. President, I don't like the way you're running our country. And the Russian said, I can do that. The American said, you can? He says, yes, I can go into the Kremlin, into the General Secretary's office, pound his desk and say, Mr. General Secretary, I don't like the way President Reagan's running his country. Thank you all, and God bless you all. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for coming to North Carolina. Thank you for the plug for that veto amendment to our Constitution. But thank you for being here to let these people tell you how much they love you and what you've done to rebuild our country and rebuild our faith in the future. Mr. President, Mr. President, as symbolic of the power of this campaign and symbolic of the unity of this state and this nation, we're going to have a train ride from Asheville to Moorhead City early next week, and that will also be the 88 Express. And because of that, I want to present to you your own railroad hat so that you can be a part of that. Senator.
