01:00Hello, Operator. Can you connect me with Worldwide, please?
01:11Why, Mr. Young!
01:12Now, listen to this.
01:14Oh, tear me down. Why don't you bring me back from Spain?
01:18Pass that around.
01:19Oh, is that all?
01:23Yes, Mr. Young.
01:24Are you working here or is that just a rumor?
01:26Where's Chicago?
01:27In Illinois.
01:28Oh, I mean, I'm sorry. Here's your party, Mr. Sears.
01:32Well, it's sure good to have you back, Ted.
01:34I bet it was exciting.
01:35Thanks, kids. The old homestead doesn't look a day older.
01:38Hi, you big fella.
01:39Hey, you're looking great. See you later.
01:41For three shifts. Still the prettiest girl in the office.
01:43We've got a date coming up. Don't forget it.
01:45Hello, Ted.
01:45Hello, babe.
01:46See you later, Ted.
01:47Okay, honey. Say, listen, where's the rest of the gang?
01:49Blakes and Cleveland covering that strike.
01:51Hogan just left for Miami.
01:52And Charlie. How's good old Charlie?
01:57What's the matter? Isn't anything wrong, is there?
01:59Oh, no. Mr. Sears is quite well.
02:04Charlie!
02:05Well, how's my favorite cameraman?
02:08How are you, Rat?
02:09That's the old pal. I knew you'd miss me.
02:11Like I miss flea powder with coffee.
02:13Oh, now, is that nice after all I've done for you?
02:16Sure. I'll never forget what you did for me, double-crossing me out of that little trip to Spain.
02:20If it was all for your own good, Charlie, you might have gotten yourself shot or something.
02:23Then think of the loss of the newsreel business.
02:25The best cameraman that ever photographed a baby show.
02:28Well, but this is my favorite secretary.
02:29Hiya, Claire.
02:30Well, hello, Ted. I'm glad to see you back.
02:32Oh, I feel great. Is the boss in?
02:36Oh, yes. I think he's been looking forward to this.
02:39Oh.
02:39Now, Mr. Sears, you want on the phone? Cheyenne calling.
02:42Watt's phone's in. I haven't grabbed the next plane to Frisco.
02:44Now, the tone war's over. Tell him to start another one.
02:46Hey, what comes off there? Who does overhead think he is?
02:48That's your lane?
02:50Just what do you think you're supposed to be doing down on that forest fire?
02:52Shooting rabbits or shooting film?
02:53Oh, it was too hot for you.
02:56Wait a minute.
02:57Yeah?
02:58Hello?
02:59What do you want?
03:01Well, get this.
03:03It's going to be too hot for you around this office if you come back without that fire.
03:09Hello? Is that you, Senator?
03:11What can I do for you?
03:13Tamara?
03:15Your little daughter?
03:16You'll bet we'll cover it. I'll have one of our best men there.
03:20Much obliged, Senator.
03:22Well, congratulations, old boy. I knew you had it in you.
03:26Yes, sir, Kelly.
03:28And nobody wishes you any more luck than your old pal, Teddy.
03:32Thanks. I knew you'd feel that way.
03:34Well, I do.
03:35Two o'clock tomorrow, young.
03:37Something big?
03:38The biggest baby parade ever held in Asbury Park.
03:43What?
03:44Baby parade?
03:45And be sure you include the Senator's baby daughter.
03:48Oh, have a heart, Charlie. That's not my kind of stuff. What do I know about babies?
03:52Well, I can learn. Certainly not too late for you.
03:54Listen, sweetheart. If you think because you're sitting on the driving seat, you're going to ride me all over the place.
03:58Well, you can't take it, huh?
03:59I can take it as fast as you can dish it out. You want to make something out of it?
04:03Hello, J.B.
04:04Hi, Mr. Willard.
04:06So you're back.
04:07I trust you enjoyed your vacation?
04:10Yes, sir.
04:11No, sir. I mean...
04:12Splendid.
04:13You were in newsreels like the one I just saw in the projection room, Mr. Sears, and we'll all be taking a vacation.
04:18Permanently.
04:18I thought it was up to standard, J.B.
04:20That's the trouble. Rodeos, parades, bathing beauties.
04:23Baby.
04:24Yes, sir, Mr. Willard. No, just how you feel about it.
04:26Charlie's done the best he could. The public is fed up looking at the same thing over and over again.
04:29What we need is headline news. Where do you see my war stuff?
04:32I don't have to wait. I've seen it.
04:34Oh, you couldn't have. It hasn't been developed yet. I haven't even seen it myself.
04:37Take a look at these.
04:40You ought to recognize them.
04:42Where, Porter?
04:43Well, what of it?
04:44Yes, five days ago.
04:46While you were still over there congratulating yourself,
04:48those photographs are on the front page of every newspaper in the country.
04:51By the time our film reaches the theaters, we'd be lucky if the war isn't over.
04:54Why, our Porter still isn't newsreel.
04:57Newspaper. Why, our Porter? And that!
05:00I tell you it's beginning to hurt.
05:02The latest news report coming to you directly from the Associated Press.
05:06That's what you're up against?
05:07People all over the country listening to it.
05:09Sometimes, while it's happening.
05:11No wonder we're losing contracts.
05:12The $100,000 prize in the sweet steak lottery today
05:15was Miss Martha Millicent Jones of Dubuque, Iowa.
05:17Other American winners were
05:18Myrtle Harper, Brooklyn, New York, $40,000.
05:21Arthur Halligan, Brainerd, Minnesota, $15,000.
05:24James Corrigan, Los Angeles, $10,000.
05:27Bessie Martin of Seattle, $5,000.
05:29Preston Carter, Detroit, $5,000.
05:31And those are the winners in the sweet steak lottery.
05:33This concludes our afternoon broadcast of the Radio News.
05:37Shucks.
05:39Oh, I didn't really think I'd win.
05:40I never do.
05:41I never do.
05:41Nancy.
05:48Yes, Aunt Jane?
05:49Can you let me have a dollar?
05:50Yes, certainly.
05:51I just bought five yards of that material we were looking at.
05:55And when I looked in my bag, I found I'd left my money home.
05:59Oh, dear.
06:01Oh.
06:04Nancy.
06:05Gambling again.
06:06Oh, it isn't really gambling, Aunt Jane.
06:08It's for charity.
06:10Oh, charity fiddlesticks.
06:11What will the school boy think?
06:13You couldn't teach anymore.
06:15I don't care what they think.
06:16I don't care if it is gambling.
06:18I'm sorry I didn't win.
06:20Those other people, they can be somebody now.
06:22Go places and do things.
06:24They won't have to go on taking in borders
06:25and making over last year's clothes and teaching school.
06:28Nancy, are you?
06:29Oh, so would you be if that was all you had to look forward to.
06:32But you don't have to teach school after we're married, Nancy.
06:34Nancy, don't upset her, Andrew.
06:37She isn't herself.
06:38I'm sick of being myself.
06:40I want to be somebody else.
06:41Well, who do you want to be, Nancy?
06:44Oh, somebody who doesn't have to be a hypocrite
06:46for a lot of narrow-minded people
06:48who try to run your life for you.
06:49Gosh, I never knew you felt that way about it.
06:51If I have to stay in this town forever, I'll die.
06:55You're coming home with me.
06:57What you need is a good dose of sulfur and molasses.
07:01Morning, Miss Jones.
07:02Morning, Mr. Pettibole.
07:04Oh, Miss Nancy.
07:06You better take this letter while you're here.
07:08Well, thank you.
07:23You read it, Aunt Jane.
07:24What is it?
07:25Something you're afraid of?
07:27What does it say?
07:28Oh, my reading glasses.
07:30Andrew, you read it.
07:32Supreme Television Corporation, New York City.
07:37Dear Miss Jones, I am happy to inform you
07:39that your slogan,
07:40Television, Your Eyes and Ears of the Future,
07:43has been awarded first prize in our national contest.
07:46Gosh!
07:47What is it?
07:49What did you win?
07:50New York.
07:51Huh?
07:51Oh, for a whole week with all my expenses paid.
07:54Don't you understand, Aunt Jane?
07:55A trip I've waited for all my life.
07:58Alone?
07:59She won't have to be alone if I can arrange to go with her.
08:02Oh, no, Andy.
08:03I want this just to be my holiday.
08:05Nancy.
08:09Aren't you going to kiss me?
08:10It's the new postcard.
08:24Hey, snap it, kid.
08:25This train only stops here a few minutes.
08:27Ah, sweepstake winner.
08:29How it feels to win a hundred grand
08:31if I had my choice about shooting her?
08:33It wouldn't be with a camera, I know.
08:35What two bucks did you lose on that gamble?
08:37Don't you know the other guy always wins?
08:38Oh, you're not kidding me, Ted.
08:40Sears is giving you a ride.
08:42With two blocks of waterfront on fire
08:44and he suckers you into an assignment like this?
08:46Ah, maybe he's right this time.
08:48Personality in the news.
08:49What personality has a waterfront got?
08:52Anybody can shoot a fire.
08:53Yeah, anybody except us.
08:55Well, at least Charlie's tip on this one is exclusive.
09:04Hey, Bud.
09:06Ha-ha.
09:07Exclusive.
09:08Uh, Bud.
09:10Uh, don't you think that car is parked in the wrong place there?
09:15Huh?
09:18Sure.
09:19Well, uh, how about doing something about it?
09:26See you in front.
09:27Why, Mr. Young.
09:35Never know who you're going to run into.
09:37Yes, sir, the world's getting smaller every day.
09:39Sort of crowded, Maloney.
09:40Hey, what's a big shot like you doing out here, anyway?
09:42See it in your favorite theater next week.
09:44Don't be funny.
09:45See it in your favorite newspaper tonight.
09:47Copyright by Wire Photo.
09:49Always first for the news.
09:50So long, Young.
09:54See you in Woffo.
09:54Hey, Maloney.
09:58Hey, Clark.
09:59A little careless about your breaks, I'd say.
10:04Part of his distributor.
10:06Nice going, kid.
10:08Hey, Conductor, you've got a Miss Jones on this train.
10:24You know, one of those hometown broken-down sweepstake winners.
10:27Oh, is that who she is?
10:28You know, I had a ticket on that myself.
10:30All right, where is she?
10:31There's a Miss Jones in car 27, compartment D.
10:33Thanks.
10:33Say, set up an observation car.
10:35Yes.
10:35Oh, no, in the back.
10:36Always in the back.
10:38Always in the back.
10:40Hey, fella, what are you trying to do?
10:42Collecting shores on that heap?
10:44Well, I never put it there.
10:45Have you been drinking?
10:46I tell you, I would frame.
10:47They're getting nuttier every day.
10:49Come on, Joe, give a hand.
10:50We're late now.
10:52Hey, you.
10:53Come on, get busy.
10:55Oh, would you like to have us drive around you?
11:03Oh, excuse me.
11:06Miss Jones?
11:07Excuse me.
11:08Oh, that's all right.
11:09Excuse me, Miss Jones.
11:10Are you looking for me?
11:11Huh?
11:12Well, you're not Miss Jones.
11:14Well, well, well, I had no idea it was going to be you.
11:17Miss Jones, I'm from the Worldwide Newsreel.
11:19I'm here to interview you.
11:20Me?
11:21Yes, indeed, you're a celebrity.
11:23You're really over to the public.
11:24They'd be interested in you.
11:25Yes, sir, particularly after they've seen you.
11:27Well, I'm not...
11:27Oh, it's quite painless.
11:28Now, if you'd just come this way,
11:29the light in here wouldn't do you justice.
11:31The Worldwide has always burned.
11:33Wait till I get the guy that did this.
11:37Hey, how would you like to have us change your oil?
11:40Come a little closer, Miss Jones.
11:43That's fine.
11:45I don't know what to say.
11:46Just tell them in your own words
11:48how you feel about your good fortune.
11:50Smile, Miss Jones.
11:52That's it.
11:53Now, remember just one thing.
11:54The whole world is looking right at you.
11:58All right, here we go.
11:59Go ahead.
12:04Well, it all happened so suddenly
12:07that I'm still not quite used to it.
12:10I wish everybody could have won,
12:12but of course I'm glad it was I.
12:15You see, this is the first time I've ever won anything,
12:17and it's my first trip to New York.
12:20Well, goodbye now.
12:22Worldwide newsreel building, please.
12:44Your party doesn't answer.
12:47I'll keep trying.
12:48Yes.
12:49Please, may I see the manager?
12:51It's about those pictures you took.
12:52The sweepstakes winner.
12:53I'm Miss Jones.
12:54Oh, Miss Jones.
12:55Yes, I'll tell Mr. Sears.
12:59Yeah?
13:01Who?
13:02Well, what does she want?
13:03Well, she says she's that sweepstakes winner.
13:05No, I'm not the winner.
13:06There's been a mistake.
13:07Oh, yes, mistakes will happen.
13:10I bet $5 on a horse yesterday
13:12and found out later I could have bought them for $6.50.
13:14She says she's not the winner.
13:17Well, I'm not Charlie McCarthy.
13:19What is this, a newsreel office
13:20or the Bureau of Missing Persons?
13:22Yes, Mr. Sears.
13:23I'm sorry, Mr. Sears.
13:25Mr. Sears is busy.
13:27Well, then, may I see Mr. Young?
13:29Oh, Ted Young?
13:30Yes.
13:30Oh, I'm sorry.
13:31He's out on an assignment.
13:32Oh, but I must find him.
13:33It's very important.
13:34Well, he might try the glove department
13:36of the champ's training camp.
13:38Well, that's what I came to tell you.
13:39I'm not Millicent Jones.
13:40My name's Nancy,
13:42and I never want anything in my life
13:43until the Supreme Company's television contest.
13:46Television contest?
13:48Your eyes and ears are the future.
13:50That's the slogan that won me this trip to New York.
13:52When you stopped me on the train,
13:53of course I thought you knew who I was.
13:56You thought...
13:57With 50,000 contests going on every day,
14:00you had to think that was news.
14:02Well, do you know what you've done?
14:04You did it.
14:04I didn't.
14:05How should I know you thought I was somebody else?
14:07Why, this is going to make worldwide
14:08the laughing stock of the newsreel business.
14:10They're going to have to call that film back
14:11from every theater in the country.
14:13Well, why did you think I came here?
14:14To pay you a social visit?
14:16Did you flatter yourself that you were so irresistible?
14:18Well, you're not.
14:20Who said anything about that?
14:22I'm glad I'm not who you thought I was.
14:23I'm glad I haven't any money, you fortune hunter.
14:26Oh, that's what you think about me.
14:28Yes, that's what I think about you.
14:29Okay, okay, have it your own way.
14:31Hey, driver, pull up over there and stop, will you?
14:40Wait for me here.
14:41Yes, sir.
14:41Got a phone, Dad?
14:43Yeah, have you got a nickel?
14:46You can go on, driver.
14:48Hello?
14:49Hello?
14:50Charlie?
14:52Say, something's happened.
14:53What?
14:57What?
15:15What do you think of that?
15:16And they're off.
15:19And they're off.
15:21Pretty Lady, Everett, Hijack, and Blue Lake, if you leave.
15:24Approaching the first turn, Pretty Lady, Hijack, go away from the field with Hijack on the rail.
15:28It's Hijack by Larkin, and as they race down the back stretch, it's Hijack, Pretty Lady, Everett, and Blue Lake.
15:33Yes, much.
15:34Larkin is racing into potential.
15:35They're coming up to the home stretch, but Hijack is on the front of the air.
15:38And here comes Larkin.
15:40Look at him go.
15:41He's passing them all like they're standing still.
15:42He's out on the front by three legs.
15:44Now four legs.
15:45Five, six.
15:46And with a terrific burst of speed, Larkin wins by 10,000.
15:50Save 100 feet of that and better use it to end the reel.
15:53Hello, sweetheart.
15:54Where have you been?
15:55I tried to tell you on the telephone, but you were too busy shooting off that big mouth of yours to listen to me.
16:00What? Why are you...
16:02You'd better get busy and call back to fill in that sweepstake winner because I shot the wrong winner.
16:07Yeah.
16:08The minute she saw herself on the screen, she drove up here to tell me all about it.
16:11She's pretty burned up, Charlie.
16:13And I don't blame her. It was your fault.
16:15My fault.
16:16Why, you double-crosser.
16:18Go ahead.
16:19Get your head off.
16:20I don't want to listen to you.
16:21I don't deny all these seats.
16:23Who got the tip to set me up there on that phony?
16:25You did.
16:26Won't be any laughing matter to the old man if that girl sues you for your shirt.
16:30If you don't think she's got a swell case, sweetheart, ask your lawyer.
16:34I guess that's about all, Charlie, except to say I know how much you're going to miss me when I see you...
16:39You're on fire!
16:40I'll resign.
16:41I'll have you blackballed in every newsreel in this town.
16:45I'll... I'll...
16:47Do you realize what that guy's done?
16:50Why do you know that... that... that... that girl...
16:53Why... why... why... why... why she can sue us for our shirts?
16:55So I just heard from Ted.
16:58If I know how I could get my hands on that guy, I'd...
17:00That's what I mean, Mr. Wallace.
17:10That's what they're looking at right now in half the theaters in the country.
17:14The World Series played on a mechanical board, a pretty poor substitute for the real thing, I'd say.
17:18No doubt, young man, but I think...
17:19Then why are they doing it?
17:20I'll tell you why.
17:21Because they don't want to wait a week or so to see it in the newsreel.
17:24Why, we're living in an age of speed when the things that happen today are forgotten tomorrow.
17:28That's why I'm here, Mr. Wallace, because you've got the speed and I've got the answer.
17:31Television newsreel, how's that sound to you?
17:34Well?
17:34I knew you'd see it.
17:36Why, we'll revolutionize the business.
17:37With your equipment and my experience, nothing can stop us.
17:39Nothing, whatever, young man, except that it won't work.
17:41Well, what's the matter with it?
17:42They're waiting for you in the laboratory, Mr. Wallace.
17:44If you'll excuse me, I haven't time to discuss it now.
17:47Mr. Wallace!
17:58Mr. Wallace!
18:25Why aren't you out covering the series, young?
18:28They tell me the Giants aren't doing so well.
18:30They've got nothing on me.
18:43Hotel Weldon?
18:45I like to speak to Miss Jones.
18:46Nancy Jones.
18:48Indeed?
18:48I'm afraid you can't.
18:50She's not here.
18:51Where did she go?
18:52But, Miss Jones, if you'll just listen to me...
18:55I have listened to you and I don't like it.
18:57And stop following me.
19:05What do you think you're doing?
19:08As manager of this hotel, Miss Jones, I'm sure you will understand.
19:11I have to protect our dignified reputation from, uh, from unfortunate notoriety.
19:17Under the circumstances of life...
19:19You think that I'm a...
19:21Come back here!
19:31Now you can tell it to this gentleman.
19:33His newsreel is to blame for all this...
19:34No, no, no, please, Miss Jones.
19:36After all, mistakes can happen, you know.
19:38And can be very costly ones.
19:40Costly?
19:40In a case of this sort, where our reputation is at stake, we have but one course of action.
19:45No, no, no, no, wait a minute.
19:46Uh, Miss Jones, your attorney mustn't be too hasty.
19:48Why, who?
19:48I realize this has been a trying experience for everyone concerned now, but we must just
19:52talk this over quietly.
19:53There is nothing to talk over.
19:55I regret the necessity, Miss Jones, but I shall expect you to find other accommodation.
20:00But I'm not who you think I am.
20:02Good day.
20:02Oh, so it's funny, is it?
20:07Being mistaken for somebody else.
20:09It wouldn't be so funny if I had called an attorney.
20:11It would serve you right.
20:12Yes, of course.
20:13Uh, no.
20:14Uh, Miss Jones, please, now, you must be calm.
20:16Oh, how would you like us looking forward to it all your life?
20:19Waiting for the chance, dreaming, planning for it, a holiday like, like this.
20:23Now, I'm sure it isn't as bad as all that, Miss Jones.
20:25You're excited.
20:26We're both excited.
20:27I'm not excited.
20:28What do you want?
20:30Nancy, I went to the station as soon as I found it.
20:32Now, now, I wouldn't let a thing like this happen to you.
20:35You've got a lot of nerve coming here after the jam you got this little girl in tow.
20:38Why didn't you tell me who she was when I had you on the phone?
20:40Ah, you were too busy with that monologue of yours.
20:42I'll tell you why I didn't give you the tip off about you.
20:44Because I fired him for that fight when he fell.
20:46It's all he had on his mind, putting me on the spot, even if you had to be the goat.
20:49Oh, that's a lying answer.
20:50You've got to believe me.
20:51Yes, or you can double cross her the way you did me.
20:53Get out of here, Steers.
20:54Come on, beat it.
20:55Yes, get out.
20:55You heard the lady.
20:56Both of you.
20:57Huh?
20:57Get out.
20:58So I'm a double cross her, am I?
21:12That's what I said.
21:13Oh, God.
21:25Are you hurt?
21:26I didn't know Charlie had it in him.
21:29Oh, um.
21:32Oh, you forgot your hat.
21:35Oh, thanks.
21:36Wait a minute.
21:37Hey.
21:37Hey.
21:37Oh, well, water, Chuck, she must have dropped it.
21:45No, no, I'll take it to the lady.
21:47I know it's well worth it.
21:49Thanks.
21:51Oh, you dropped your water, Chuck, out there, and I found it.
21:55The manager told me to bring it to you.
21:57Oh, no, he told me to hide it from you.
22:02Oh.
22:04You don't believe everything that guy said about me, do you?
22:06Well, I wouldn't cause you any harm.
22:09Well, I guess you just can't help it.
22:11You're not going away, are you?
22:12Don't you think it's a good idea while I'm still in one piece?
22:15Oh, I know it hasn't been much fun for you, but I wanted to tell you something.
22:19Ever since you walked out on me back there on that road, I'm glad you're not that sweepstakes winner.
22:23I'm glad you're nobody except Nancy Jones, because if you were somebody else, well, I wouldn't have met you.
22:30Well, that hasn't brought either of us much luck.
22:32It did me.
22:33Well, but you've lost your job, and so will I, as soon as that school board sees my picture.
22:38You don't have anything to worry about.
22:40Now when we've got a proposition so hot it's going to burn the newsreel film right out of existence, your eyes and ears of the future.
22:45That's what you gave to me.
22:46It's going to turn the newsreel business upside down, too.
22:49Television?
22:50Bullseye.
22:51Why, Ted, I...
22:52Oh, say that again.
22:53Say what?
22:54What you just said, what you just called me.
22:55You never said that to me before.
22:57Hadn't you better keep your mind on television, Mr. Young?
23:01Yeah, I guess maybe you're right.
23:04We'll go to our rooms later.
23:06Right now, we want to surprise my niece.
23:09Lady, nothing would surprise your niece right now.
23:13We shouldn't have let her come here alone in the first place, Miss Jones.
23:16There was something very funny about the way Nancy was acting when she left.
23:20I noticed she hasn't been eating right lately.
23:23I hope that's all it was.
23:25Anyway, I feel better now that we're here.
23:29Ah, everybody I talked to said the time wasn't ready for it yet.
23:32But they couldn't broadcast television more than 50, 60 miles.
23:34So what?
23:35That's their tough luck.
23:37Somebody's going to do it.
23:38Well, why didn't you go to the Supreme Company?
23:40They're going to be the first to put television sets on the market anyway.
23:43And Mr. Powell, the man who picked my slogan.
23:45After that boner I pulled on a slogan winner, I didn't exactly expect the cordial reception.
23:51Well, uh, does he have to know?
23:54Well, thanks.
23:58Probably Simon McGree back again.
24:03Nancy.
24:03Oh, Aunt Jane.
24:06Why...
24:06Hello, Nancy.
24:08Well, uh, why didn't you let me...
24:10Andrew thought it'd be better to surprise you.
24:12It seems such a...
24:14Oh, this is...
24:16This is Mr. Young.
24:17My Aunt Jane.
24:18And this is Andrew.
24:20Mr. Horton.
24:21Oh, why, how are you?
24:23How do you do?
24:24I'm...
24:24Oh, uh, Mr. Young's in the newsreel business.
24:29Well, that is, he was.
24:30You see, he's the cameraman who interviewed me at the train.
24:33Oh, yes.
24:34And my niece wired us.
24:36Uh, Mr. Young was just leaving.
24:40Oh, that's right.
24:41Well, I'll just say good day.
24:45It's nice to have seen you.
24:46Bye, Aunt Jane.
24:48Bye, Andy.
24:48Hey, Andrew.
24:55Oh, I'm so glad you came.
24:57So am I.
24:58Nancy, if you weren't my niece, and I didn't know you...
25:01Oh, don't be silly, Aunt Jane.
25:03Mr. Young's a perfectly respectable gentleman.
25:06Oh, Father, Chair, Andy.
25:07He just happened to be calling on me while I was unpacking a few things.
25:12Yes?
25:12Well, you can pack them right up again, because we're going home.
25:16Oh, but Aunt Jane, you and Andy haven't seen anything of New York.
25:19We've seen enough, if you ask me.
25:20No, Andrew.
25:21Oh, so that's why you came, to spy on me.
25:24Nancy, he never said that.
25:26Oh, he doesn't have to say it, Aunt Jane.
25:27He's thinking it.
25:28What do you expect me to think when I find you're entertaining a strange man in your room?
25:31I wasn't entertaining him.
25:33Well, he didn't look bored to me.
25:35Andrew.
25:36Darling, I don't think you or Andrew could ever understand.
25:47Under Chairs, Supreme Television.
25:50Certainly it's going up.
25:51Didn't you read that story this morning?
25:58Well, not bad for a stock that opened up at 14.
26:28As soon as that newsreel announcement broke this morning, I knew we'd skyrocket.
26:32I'm so glad, Mr. Powell.
26:33You ought to get on the bandwagon yourself, Ruth.
26:36You can make more money in a day than even I pay you in a week.
26:40Thank you, Mr. Powell.
26:40I think I will.
26:42This one's from the Theater Owners Association.
26:45Oh.
26:47Young knew what he was talking about.
26:49Every exhibitor in the country is anxious to get in on the ground floor.
26:54Mr. Powell's office.
26:56Well, just a moment, please.
26:58The Union Newsreel Company.
27:00Ask Mr. Young to come in, will you?
27:01He's being interviewed for an article in the Scientific Home Magazine, Mr. Powell.
27:05Yes, sir, Mr. Poppilus.
27:07You may tell your readers that newsreel television is now a reality.
27:10In a short time, we'll have a set in every home.
27:11Precisely, Mr. Young.
27:13That's exactly what our readers are anxious to know.
27:17Specifically, how do you manage to overcome the curvature of the Earth?
27:21How?
27:24Of course, I realize if the Earth were flat, there would be no television problem.
27:30But since ultra-high radio frequency transmissions travel in a straight line like this, how do
27:37you manage to transmit them, say, from San Francisco to New York like this?
27:43Well, you're not very well informed, are you, Mr. Poppilus?
27:51Well, I admit I'm really a lame.
27:54Oh.
27:54Well, then, it would be quite difficult for me to explain to you the, um, technical side
28:01of it.
28:01Uh, perhaps I could help you, sir.
28:04Now, if you would just take this and stand here, please.
28:08Now, this is New York.
28:11You're here.
28:12And this is the Pacific Ocean.
28:17And this represents the Rocky Mountains.
28:25Now, how do you manage to transmit them, say, from there to there when you can't climb over
28:32the mountain?
28:33Why not?
28:35What does an airplane do from here to there?
28:39Doesn't it travel in a straight line like this?
28:43It just goes a little higher than the mountain, that's all.
28:47A little higher than the mountain.
28:51That's all I can tell you now, Mr. Poppilus.
28:52You see, I'm, uh, not permitted to reveal the engineering secrets of our process.
28:57It, you just must climb higher, that's all I can tell you.
29:02Yeah, climb a little higher.
29:08A little higher.
29:09Yes, now I see what you mean.
29:21Thank you very much, Mr. Young.
29:23Did I say something?
29:25I just signed a contract with that worldwide outfit, and now what happens?
29:30Television.
29:31This gentleman will see Mr. Young.
29:33Go.
29:35Our readers will be very gratified, Mr. Young.
29:38And thank you again.
29:40Yes, yes.
29:40You see, anything you like, it's all right with me.
29:42And good day, Mr. Poppilus.
29:43Good day, sir.
29:44Don't forget to buy television.
29:46If you'd ask about newsreels, I'd know what I was talking about.
29:52Charlie!
29:53Well, uh, how's my favorite cameraman?
29:55Oh, you remember Miss Jones, don't you?
29:56Yes, how do you do, Miss Jones?
29:58Don't forget lunch.
29:59One o'clock, and remember, no Andrew.
30:02Goodbye, Mr. Seals.
30:03Goodbye, Miss Jones.
30:06Charming girl.
30:07A little impulsive at times, but, uh, you know how women are.
30:09Or don't you?
30:10Well, tell, old boy, congratulations.
30:12Thanks, Charlie.
30:13I didn't know you'd feel that way about it.
30:15I thought you were a little sour on your old pal.
30:17What?
30:17Me?
30:19Now, about this, uh, television proposition, Ted, old boy.
30:22I, I've just had a long talk with J.P.
30:24He was a little skeptical at first.
30:26You know how he is.
30:27He's brought up in the old school.
30:28Always difficult for him to see something new.
30:31But then, after I sold him on you, Ted, old boy, he saw the light.
30:35Uh, of course, we'd like to have a practical demonstration first.
30:38Sure.
30:39Say, that's swell of you, Charlie.
30:41I always knew you'd put it over, Ted.
30:43I've been waiting to put it over ever since I last saw you.
30:46Catch, catch, Charlie.

36:43That's your television, last year's movie film, so that's what you've been framing me with.
37:13Take it easy, young.
37:15You better start talking fast, Powell.
37:17We couldn't take a chance on that portable transmitter.
37:20There's too many obstructions between here and the airport.
37:22The broadcast would never come through.
37:24It was all a phony, just a stock promotion.
37:27But what about those thousands of people who bought stock in our outfit?
37:29Bought it because they believed in what we promised.
37:31Television's only a matter of time, an investment for the future.
37:34We need that money to develop it.
37:35You crook.
37:37While we were listening to your phony broadcast, you know what happened out there in that airport?
37:40That dirigible blew up.
37:42What?
37:42And your whole crooked outfit blew up with it.
37:45Now, wait a minute, young.
37:46We're in this together.
37:47We'll see it happen right after I shut off the transmission.
37:50Well, will we?
37:51They're going to hear the truth now.
37:52We'll see it.
37:53We'll see it.
38:06We'll see it.
38:07i've talked to my associate gentlemen he's willing that i should handle the financial
38:26arrangements good that's more like it it'll take some time to iron out the details of the contract
