00:00Hello everybody, this is your Hollywood correspondent, Granville Owen, bringing to you the latest

00:10news flashes from Movie Land.

00:12We are broadcasting direct to you from State 7 of Warner Brothers Studios, where Edward

00:15G. Robinson and Betty Davis are just about to complete the last scene of their new picture,

00:20Kit Galahad.

00:21And from the reports I've heard, it is bound to be one of the most exciting and dramatic

00:23pictures of the year.

00:25Well, Mr. Robinson.

00:26Yes?

00:27And Miss Davis.

00:28Yes?

00:28Would you care to say a few words over the air?

00:30Why, certainly, it's a pleasure.

00:32Sure.

00:36Shall I be myself, or shall I give him a bit of the character that I play in Kit Galahad?

00:40Oh, let's stay in character.

00:42All right.

00:44Me?

00:45I'm Nick Donati, see?

00:47One of the smartest guys on the main stand.

00:49Now, don't get me wrong.

00:51I play the game strictly on the level.

00:53I play square with everybody.

00:55Everything went along swell until I met this Kit Galahad.

00:58And I gave him a break.

00:59And what happens?

01:00A million dames fall for this guy, and my gal's got to be one of them.

01:03But I ain't going to stand for it, see?

01:06Nobody ever double-crossed Nick Donati and got away with it.

01:08Just a second.

01:09Let me tell my side of it.

01:11I'm fluff.

01:12I was seeing you in the nightclub when Nick first met me.

01:15He was always swell to me.

01:16But when Kit Galahad came along, I...

01:20Well, I fell in love with him.

01:21Yeah?

01:22Listen, do you know what I'm going to do?

01:24Yes.

01:25You're going to stop talking right now, or you'll tell the audience the whole story.

01:28I dub thee Kid Galahad.

01:49And these, my colors, you shall wear into battle.

01:57Galahad.

01:57Clean of heart.

01:59Gallant rescuer of ladies, but no woman in his life.

02:02The strength of ten men.

02:03Because no dame can get close enough to give him a haircut.

02:06Yeah?

02:06When did you double-cross your mother last?

02:11Nobody in this game mentions my family.

02:13I keep them out of it.

02:14Trying to crawl out for Monday, Nick?

02:16No.

02:17When I start paying you back, it won't be on Sam.

02:20We love each other.

02:21You can't keep us apart.

02:22You haven't any reason to.

02:24It's your own filthy, tempered, dirty mind.

02:25We haven't done anything.

02:27Yeah?

02:27How many times have you been up there with him?

02:29Hmm?

02:30What have you two been doing?

02:31Going to nightclubs and getting yourself smeared over the front door.

02:33The pages and the smudge sheets, like a common rash.

02:36Oh, Nick, you drive me crazy.

02:38Are you always going to throw the whole works out of the window just because that temper of yours breaks out in a rash?

02:42You think I'm going to let him get away with the double-cross?

02:44What are you so sore about anyway?

02:46Who weren't doing anything.

02:48I was just teaching him how to mix a few drinks.

02:50Oh, I'm fed up with your being jealous all the time.

03:03And I'm going to let him go.

03:04I'm going to let him go.

03:06I'm going to let him go.

03:06Oh, I'm for you.
