00:01:14Well?
00:01:15Please, I must see Mr. and Mrs. Ballantyne.
00:01:17What for?
00:01:18Well, I've got something to give them.
00:01:19They're on now, I'll take it.
00:01:20Oh, no! I've got to do it myself.
00:01:22Not a chance, lady.
00:01:24Nobody's allowed backstage but the actors.
00:01:26That's the rule, and I ain't gonna break it.
00:01:30Train man, train man, on your way
00:01:40Oh, I'm ready to go
00:01:43Train man, train man, on your way
00:01:47To the land of old Black Joe
00:01:50Ho, ho, ho, ho
00:01:53Hear that choo-choo, bop and a lone
00:01:57I can hear it singing a song
00:02:02Candid yams and junior hams like in the days of yore
00:02:07A little angel waiting by a little cabin door
00:02:10Lordy, lordy, how I find
00:02:14Just to be back in Caroline
00:02:18Way down south of the Mason, Nixon sign
00:02:24With my mammy
00:02:28Always on south of the Mason, Nixon sign for love
00:02:36A little flower
00:02:47A little flower
00:02:49Oh, but I've tried
00:03:07Why, I've got something to give them
00:03:08Oh, why didn't you tell me a new gag, eh?
00:03:10Hey, Bill, take these things
00:03:12Don't, don't, don't go away from the Hemp's door
00:03:14Here, you can't
00:03:15Uh-huh
00:03:26It's a baby
00:03:27Did you...
00:03:32Did somebody lose a baby?
00:03:34All right, wise guys, who put this baby in the basket, huh?
00:03:48Don't look at me, I ain't done nothing
00:03:49Yeah
00:03:49Whose baby is it?
00:03:50Did a new part of your act?
00:03:51Oh, somebody's kidding
00:03:52Yeah, probably you, huh?
00:03:54Wise guy, you're comedians
00:03:55Putting a baby in a basket
00:03:56What's that, is that a laugh, huh?
00:03:58Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
00:03:59There's a no kid
00:04:00Oh, sweetest
00:04:01Dear Joe and Kit
00:04:04I've asked my landlady to bring little Wendy to you
00:04:06The doc says my time's just about up
00:04:09But as long as I know the baby's in your hands
00:04:11I don't mind joining Flossie
00:04:13Goodbye, your pal
00:04:15It's Barney O'Hara's baby
00:04:16It is Barney
00:04:18But she's got Flossie's eyes
00:04:19You remember how pretty she was?
00:04:21Yeah, she and Barney were a beautiful team
00:04:23Gee, they were marvelous
00:04:24Well, what are we gonna do with her?
00:04:27We're gonna keep her
00:04:28Ho-ni-kai-u-wa-wicky-wicky
00:04:38Sweet brown maiden
00:04:40Sent to me
00:04:43As she gave me language lessons
00:04:48On the beach at Waikiki
00:04:52Mmm, bone-kai-u-wa-wicky-wicky
00:04:58She repeated playfully
00:05:03All those lips were so
00:05:06One-kai-ki-on
00:05:08The beach at Waikiki
00:05:11Now everybody is asking me
00:05:31Who's that bunch of poison-ality
00:05:34With a figure like a cow
00:05:37Baby, take a bow
00:05:38Everybody wants to know
00:05:42Where I found this homely Romeo
00:05:45You could haunt a house and howl
00:05:48Baby, take a bow
00:05:50Oh, hear them whispering
00:05:53Hasn't she got anything?
00:05:57Why, baby, you must stand out
00:05:59Mister, what a bunch of bull you hand out
00:06:02But I'm gonna stand right here and say
00:06:05That I wish you were a million miles away
00:06:08Funny, I feel that way too
00:06:10Is that so?
00:06:11Baby, take a boo
00:06:13Oh, our act was awful up to now
00:06:19Baby, take a bow
00:06:22Everybody's asking me
00:06:28Who's that bunch of personality
00:06:32I'm presenting you right now
00:06:35Daddy, take a bow
00:06:38Everybody wants to know
00:06:42Who's that great big handsome Romeo
00:06:45I'm presenting you right now
00:06:48Daddy, take a bow
00:06:51Hear them whispering
00:06:55Hear them whispering
00:06:55Hasn't he got everything?
00:06:59He's a standout
00:07:01Listen to the compliments
00:07:03They hand out
00:07:05Let me stand right up and say
00:07:08Who's the one brings mother all his pay?
00:07:12I'm presenting you right now
00:07:15Daddy, take a bow
00:07:18You know what I was thinking?
00:07:33Well, first let me get used to the idea
00:07:34That you've been thinking at all
00:07:36Well, what?
00:07:38You remember when they straightened out
00:07:39Barney O'Hara's affairs
00:07:40And they found out that he'd made
00:07:41Half the payments on that farm up there in New England?
00:07:43Yes, and we're trying to get rid of it
00:07:45Yeah, well, maybe that's where we're wrong
00:07:46Maybe we ought to keep up those payments
00:07:48For what?
00:07:50Well, so we could have a place
00:07:51Where we could all settle down
00:07:52You know, retire
00:07:53Are you crazy?
00:07:56Takes money to retire
00:07:57We got a bank account, ain't we?
00:07:59Thanks to Wendy
00:08:00But it's not enough to retire on
00:08:01So forget it
00:08:02Ah, listen, kid
00:08:03Let's give her something
00:08:05That we've never really had
00:08:06A home, huh?
00:08:07Maybe that's the way
00:08:08Barney figured it for Wendy
00:08:09Maybe that's why he picked out the farm
00:08:12Well, sure it is
00:08:13It's up to us to go through with it
00:08:15What do you say, honey?
00:08:16Oh, it's a pipe dream, Joe
00:08:18I can just see you in overalls
00:08:20Busting sods
00:08:22And nobody to give you a hand
00:08:23Except the cows
00:08:24And me in a gingham apron
00:08:26Sweeping and cooking
00:08:27And making beds every day
00:08:28Well, maybe we could afford a maid
00:08:31We could not
00:08:32I guess I can hold up my own end
00:08:34Then you'll go for it, huh?
00:08:36Ah, we'll talk about it in five years
00:08:38Ah, five years
00:08:39In the meantime
00:08:41You better start making those payments
00:08:42Look, I'll write that lawyer tonight
00:08:44You'll write him a letter
00:08:45Remember, we're gonna be
00:08:47New England farmers
00:08:48Listen, Wendy, honey
00:08:51It's gonna be a little tough
00:08:53For about five years, see
00:08:54But after that
00:08:54Wow!
00:08:55We've been to London's Piccadilly
00:09:09But it was time for tea
00:09:11We've walked along the Champs-Élysées
00:09:14The pride of gay Paris
00:09:16You can rave about your Broadway
00:09:19And Times Square
00:09:21Come on along

00:09:36Every Joe
00:09:41Every Jane
00:09:42Walks along the Dreamer's Lane

00:09:46That's Fifth Avenue
00:09:49Where they stop
00:09:51Window shop
00:09:52And their hopes are so high
00:09:55Pricing rings
00:09:56Rippy things
00:09:57That they can't afford to buy
00:10:00But they smile
00:10:01They don't care
00:10:02Everyone's a millionaire
00:10:04When you're strolling on
00:10:07Fifth Avenue
00:10:08He's left
00:10:09Anyway

00:11:00Soldiers marching in memory of the brave
00:11:04There are shouts, there are cheers
00:11:07Mingled with a mother's cheer

00:11:25A cathedral and then
00:11:27Central Park, Cartiers
00:11:29And World Wars 5 and 10
00:11:32What a street, what a thrill
00:11:34Say you haven't lived until
00:11:36You've been strolling on Fifth Avenue
00:11:40You've been strolling on
00:11:43You've been strolling on
00:11:44Fifth Avenue
00:11:45You've been strolling on Fifth Avenue
00:11:55You've been strolling on Fifth Avenue
00:11:57You've been strolling on Fifth Avenue
00:11:59Uh, folks, I know you're very anxious to see the movie, but if you don't mind, I'd like to...
00:12:23Oh, Wendy, you go ahead and tell them
00:12:25Ladies and gentlemen
00:12:27Oh, just a minute, mister
00:12:28Aren't you staying for the picture?
00:12:32My goodness, he must have come just to see the vaudeville
00:12:35Ladies and gentlemen, this isn't a regular curtain speech
00:12:41You see, this is our last performance
00:12:44And tonight, we're saying goodbye to stage and show business
00:12:47And leaving for our farm up in New England
00:12:49But before we go, we want to say goodbye
00:12:53And, just as once, show what we think of you
00:12:56Will everyone please stand up?
00:12:59Come on
00:13:00Oh, come on, everybody, get up
00:13:02Come on, mister
00:13:03Come on, everybody up there, too
00:13:05Up
00:13:05That's it
00:13:07Folks, it's hard to say goodbye to a good friend
00:13:11And that's what you've been to Dad, Mom, and me
00:13:14You've applauded when you liked us
00:13:17And even given us a little hand when you didn't
00:13:20You've been swell
00:13:22And we'll never forget you
00:13:23Because, honest to goodness
00:13:27We could never have brought you as much happiness
00:13:30As you brought us
00:13:31So, now it's our turn to applaud you
00:13:53Now, goodbye, Sam
00:14:12Good luck to you
00:14:12Have you got the railroad tickets, Joe?
00:14:16Yes, I've got the tickets
00:14:17Are you sure the train leaves at 11.15, not 10.15?
00:14:19Has everything come from the hotel?
00:14:20Oh, did you leave a forwarding address for the mail?
00:14:23Now, listen, Kip
00:14:23Will you stop worrying
00:14:24Leave everything to me
00:14:25I'll get you there, all right
00:14:26There's no use getting excited
00:14:27I never forget anything
00:14:28Hey, Dad
00:14:29Don't you remember?
00:14:30I dress you know him as downstairs
00:14:32Come on, Tim
00:14:35Come on
00:14:35Hiya, Luke
00:14:38Get ready for the big outdoors
00:14:40Got your cup, huh, Kip?
00:14:41Well, I haven't been starved today
00:14:42Well, by cracky, Vinny
00:14:44Follow Valentine and her both
00:14:46Well, Missy, how's the crop this year?
00:14:48Well, Ezra
00:14:50I ain't just saying it's good
00:14:52And I ain't just saying it's bad
00:14:53I'm just saying maybe
00:14:55You better hurry with your packing, Wendy
00:14:58All right, Mom
00:14:59She's got the gift of laughter
00:15:01It's a crime taking that kid out of show business
00:15:02You're throwing away a great career
00:15:04Oh, we're going to have a career, all right
00:15:05We'll just be gathering eggs instead of laying them
00:15:07I can just see you three as farmers
00:15:10It gets awful, lose them up in them dark hills
00:15:13After a couple of months on the farm
00:15:14You'll be happy to play a split week in Peoria
00:15:16Oh, we'll be all right
00:15:17Dad and I have been studying scientific farming
00:15:19From these government pamphlets
00:15:20You'll find out there's only one life for you
00:15:23And that's show business
00:15:24What kind of show business, Dave?
00:15:26Five and six a day
00:15:27Build under a double feature
00:15:29And a couple of shorts
00:15:30Oh, I know
00:15:31It ain't the paradise it used to be
00:15:32But it's still a pretty good game
00:15:34Oh, it ain't the game, Dave
00:15:35It's what goes with it
00:15:36Listen, we've been in every town in the USA
00:15:38And in every town we've been strangers
00:15:39When we ride on trains at night
00:15:41We see lights shine in people's homes
00:15:42But where do we live?
00:15:43Huh, in a lower birth
00:15:45Listen, we never had a chance to vote yet
00:15:47Not even once
00:15:48But now we're going to a town
00:15:50Where we ain't going to be strangers
00:15:51You understand?
00:15:51Yes, and Wendy's going to lead a normal life
00:15:54You know, grow up like other children
00:15:55Have a home
00:15:57With friends her own age
00:15:58Yes, her kid's going to have neighbors
00:16:00That she can drop in on
00:16:01And pass the time of day with
00:16:02And Dad's going to be
00:16:03The leading citizen of the community
00:16:05Aren't you, Dad?
00:16:06You said it
00:16:06Listen, when the Ballantines walk down the street
00:16:08They're going to wave hello to everybody
00:16:09And everybody's going to wave right back to them
00:16:11For the first time in our lives
00:16:13We're going to live like real people
00:16:14Your cab's here, Joe
00:16:15Oh, thank you, baby
00:16:16Well, follow me
00:16:18Best of luck
00:16:19Don't forget to fight
00:16:20All right, if you come around our way at mealtime
00:16:23Don't forget to drop in
00:16:24I'll be doing three shows a day in the kitchen
00:16:25And if you don't know our address
00:16:27Just ask for the mayor
00:16:29That'll be Dad
00:16:29Touch me
00:16:30Well, we promise in the day
00:16:32We promise in the day
00:16:34We promise in the day

00:16:57We promise in the day
00:16:58We promise in the day
00:16:59I'll go see the hired man, Joe.
00:17:09Oh, he must be around here someplace.
00:17:19Pardon me, mister, but have you seen a man named Jeb's bar?
00:17:22I see him every day.
00:17:24I mean, here at the station.
00:17:26He's our fireman who was supposed to meet us.
00:17:27Well, Jeb's going to meet you. He'll be here. Let's see.
00:17:3130 seconds.
00:17:33How do you know?
00:17:34The crane was early.
00:17:35Oh.
00:17:36Theater.
00:17:37You must be in the wrong town. There ain't no theater here.
00:17:40There isn't?
00:17:41What do you do for entertainment?
00:17:43Oh, just sit around and wait for somebody to make a fool of themselves.
00:17:47That doesn't sound like much fun.
00:17:49Maybe, because you ain't the one that's doing the setting.
00:17:54I don't see any talent.
00:17:55Where is it?
00:17:57Right over that hill three miles.
00:17:59It's a long walk.
00:18:11Jeb Sparks?
00:18:12Yep.
00:18:12Why, I'm glad to know you.
00:18:13This is Miss Valentine. This is little Wendy.
00:18:15Howdy.
00:18:16The train got here early, didn't it?
00:18:17Yep.
00:18:18Well, don't let that worry you, Jeb.
00:18:19Nope.
00:18:20Well, say, by the way, if you got somebody to deliver these trunks...
00:18:21Shatterbox.
00:18:26Well, hop in, girl.
00:18:28Which way is the farm?
00:18:30Another side of town.
00:18:31Is it very far?
00:18:32No.
00:18:33Did you order that list of groceries?
00:18:35Yep.
00:18:36Well, have a good crop this year, Jeb.
00:18:37Well, ain't saying yep, ain't saying no.
00:18:40Just saying maybe.
00:18:44He's stealing your stuff, honey.
00:18:45And look, there's the church.
00:19:04Do they ring the bells on Sunday, Jeb?
00:19:05Yep.
00:19:06When they do, it's Sunday school for you, Wendy.
00:19:08Yes, Mom.
00:19:09Hey, that's a town hall, ain't it, Jeb?
00:19:11Yep.
00:19:12When's the next town meeting?
00:19:13Tomorrow night.
00:19:14You hear that, kid?
00:19:15A town meeting where a man can stand up and have his say.
00:19:17Real old-fashioned democracy.
00:19:19Turn right it's old-fashioned.
00:19:21This ain't no new deal, country.
00:19:22Ha, ha, ha, ha!
00:19:39What's the matter, Jeb?
00:19:40Nothing, except we're here.
00:19:41We're here.
00:19:45It's beautiful.
00:19:46It's even better than the picture you showed us.
00:19:48Look at that barn.
00:19:49It looks exactly like a barn.

00:29:57your aunt hester a museum piece she is a museum piece but what i say about her no matter what it
00:30:02is it shouldn't make any difference between you and me look mike what you said about my aunt hester
00:30:07is only part of it it's everything you've been doing since you took over your father's paper now
00:30:11wait a minute oh i know you had to print what you pleased save the town from stagnation you wouldn't
00:30:16settle down like a normal person no not you that's not you talking judy that's your aunt hester would
00:30:21you like me to elucidate young man i don't think it'll be necessary aunt hester
00:30:25oh good evening ladies good evening should we go in judith i think we better find our seats will you
00:30:34excuse us what a shame yeah the plot's all twisted girl gets wrong boy we'll have to fix that up dad
00:30:44if you ask me that girl could use some good advice just who may i ask could use some good advice well
00:30:48i was speaking about a cousin of mine from a cousin we have in topeka he had some trouble with his
00:30:52mother-in-law we're just talking about it she must have been weaned on a pickle come on dad it's
00:30:57town hall tonight come on let's go in you don't know that to pound sam down a rat hole maybe so but
00:31:07i know enough to stop talking once in a while stop your squabbling sam a man's a right to speak his
00:31:14mind here whether you agree with him or not go ahead beat this bridge has got to be repaired before she
00:31:20collapses how much will it cost well mr baldwin calculates it'll cost about fifty dollars then
00:31:26i say wait till she collapses now that fellow's wrong cost less to repair the bridge than it would
00:31:31to build a new one sure dad you've got opinions why don't you say something anybody got any more to
00:31:37say about their proposition go on john dad all right then matters refer to next year well i guess
00:31:45that finishes the agenda yes that finishes the agenda now if someone will move to adjourn the
00:31:55town moderator yeah mr shay folks you know i couldn't let a meeting go by without reminding you that there are
00:32:01still a few young people living in stonefield or should i say vegetating yeah and most of them
00:32:07ain't dry behind the ears yet maybe so but we don't claim to be suffering from dry rot but we figure
00:32:12that's what ails stonefield fellow citizens we've got a real progressive program for our town and it won't
00:32:18cost a great deal of money to put it into effect seems that being progressive and spending other people's
00:32:23money amounts to about the same thing now i'll tell you what's keeping us broke tradition you're all
00:32:30afraid to do anything any differently than your grandfather's did it what's wrong with the way
00:32:34they did it nothing only they did it in another century now i respect tradition as much as the next
00:32:40man but i don't respect it when it stands in the way of progress now let's get wise to ourselves let's
00:32:47realize that we're not living on a desert island but right spaying within the borders of a big lively
00:32:52up and coming nation the united states we've heard all this before mr shea well anyway for the record
00:33:01i want to propose our usual resolution that a board be appointed no member of which may be over 30 years
00:33:07of age to promote stonefield as a tourist center to attract new industries here and in general to make
00:33:12our town a more prosperous and progressive place in which to live
00:33:23terrific idea there kid thanks but we haven't got a chance mr moderator miss appleby
00:33:29who is she school teacher taught everybody here and she's still teaching him i think it's about time to
00:33:34put a stop to all this nonsense ever since my forefather caleb appleby founded stonefield in the
00:33:40dear dead sacrificial days before the revolutionary war and down through the decades of american progression
00:33:46we've managed to get along very nicely without factories or tourists even without michael shea
00:33:53however since michael and his supporters were once my pupils i still cannot help but feel a certain
00:33:59responsibility for them so before their harebrained schemes to get rich quick lead them into serious
00:34:05trouble i should like to remind them of the fundamentals they were taught at school
00:34:10there's only one road to prosperity and that's the rocky one hard work diligence and thrift
00:34:19thank you miss appleby and now to dispense with the matter mr moderator
00:34:25yeah mr uh valentine joe valentine you know dad give him the old cannibal act oh yes uh getting
00:34:36up here tonight it's my first night in town it kind of makes me feel like the vegetarian that was
00:34:40addressing a bunch of cannibals that was having them for dinner
00:34:47but don't get me wrong folks i'm i like this town very much and i'm i'm really proud and happy to
00:34:52be a member of your little community but the trouble with all you people is well you're still
00:34:57living in the horse and carriage age you go back so far that you think the young people should be
00:35:01seen and not heard that's why you're wrong the young people have the bright ideas uh when young
00:35:08shea here said that this town need waking up well he punched it right on the nose yes we ought to give
00:35:14this town a shot in the arm put a new coat of paint on it uh shoulder to the wheel oh uh if if we plunge
00:35:23in and put our shoulders to the wheel why we'll have people flocking in here from every state in the
00:35:26union standing room only yes there'll be standing room only by that i mean that the hotels will be
00:35:31crowded the well the stores will be doing a land office business and the real estate will be booming
00:35:36and well the young folks will have a chance i want you all to know that we're here to do that very
00:35:40thing yes sir you can always call on the three valentines we are at your service folks let us
00:35:46help you use showmanship let us help you bring happiness and a smile to the old town and i want
00:35:51to tell you that before we're through why we'll turn stone field into a hustling metropolis and what
00:35:55i want to know folks are you with me
00:36:06gee dad that was just like a fireside chat you weren't so bad yourself mr moderator
00:36:12uh mr dickon i reckon stonefield is lucky mighty lucky to have a man like mr valentine for a citizen
00:36:21it isn't often a stranger can come along and show folks in a couple of minutes how they've been wrong
00:36:26for 150 years i think we ought to thank mr valentine for giving us a shot in the arm if you know what i
00:36:34mean so i think it's only fitting that we appoint mr valentine a one-man chamber of commerce to investigate
00:36:43conditions and report to us folks i never dreamed that i don't know they're being ripped tonight
00:36:56and i want to assure you that well this is a great thrill for me this is a greater thrill to me than
00:37:01when i played the palace for the first time in new york city new york oh yes i want you all to know
00:37:07that i'm your friend and when you're bunking to me on the street i want you to come up and say hello joe

00:37:22nice young fellow in town maybe the banker's son when she has kids they'll grow up here get married

00:37:40to be asleep i know you just want to get rid of me selling me off to the first bidder honey there ain't
00:37:46enough money in the whole world to buy you sounds like a song cue well not to disappoint you i think
00:37:51i'll sing i wouldn't take a million for a girl like you i wouldn't take a million for the things you do
00:38:06if they offered me a mansion in the finest part of town if you were not in that mansion
00:38:20then i would turn it down
00:38:24i wouldn't take a million for the twinkle in your eyes i'd rather win a smile from you than win the nobel prize
00:38:40if i were just a pauper and i didn't have a sue
00:38:50i still would have a million if i just had

00:40:19now i wouldn't talk if i were you not after the way you took him with that rock crusher that wouldn't
00:40:23crack a peanut and then last year she had the measles now she's had everything except the mumps
00:40:37wendy had the mumps in denver two years ago we were playing a split week there oh but strictly the big
00:40:41time you understand joe always thought of that he used to tell the agent don't bother me with none of
00:40:48your small time bookings it's nothing but the best for the ballantines and it always was
00:40:54i'm sure it was oh maybe i talked too much for a new member oh no most interesting i assure you
00:41:01as i was going to say it's my opinion that all epidemics come from the city nothing ever happens
00:41:07to sarah set when she's been to visit her cousin in the city well that's something else for joe to
00:41:11worry about joe you see the whole point of his plan he calls it the valentine plan it's to attract
00:41:19city people here you know with fairs and ski carnivals and an apple blossom festival in the spring
00:41:23oh how exciting why your husband's quite a man mrs ballantine how did you happen to marry him well
00:41:30i tell him that i must have been under an anesthetic but between us girls oh i fell for him like that
00:41:40oh dear thank you oh he was hoofing then on the gaiety wheel and i was in the chorus you know third
00:41:47from the end they picked me out to do a specialty with him well the routine called for a split
00:41:54i did a split all right and so did my tights right up the back oh you should have been there it was
00:42:02something really oh dear well i got off the stage all right i don't know how and somehow i don't know
00:42:09the next week we were married and broke but when you're crazy about a man money doesn't make any
00:42:14difference nothing does does it and do you feel mrs ballantyne that your own experience qualifies you as
00:42:21an expert on marriage oh i wouldn't go as far as to say that but one thing i know a girl shouldn't
00:42:26let a good chance go by they only come once in a lifetime i always say that men are like ships that
00:42:32pass in the night if a young girl isn't careful she's liable to miss the boat and then where is she
00:42:36where is she left on the docks with the other old maids oh no offense miss appleby oh we were
00:42:43talking about germs yes if i may be permitted to say epidemic well mom did you have a good time
00:42:50grand girls it was simply delightful what will be the subject next week i'm sure you'll be able
00:42:55to decide that oh do you mean it's mom's turn yes it is wendy oh thank you
00:42:59hello kit judy you two know each other don't you oh why don't you kids kiss and make up huh
00:43:12remember what i told you judy about missing the boat too bad wendy isn't a few years older she'd grab
00:43:17mike off herself that would come the plot all up wouldn't it dad oh uh hello miss appleby well mr
00:43:23ballantyne and little wendy yes we were just telling mike and judy i heard well we'd better
00:43:28be getting along might i suggest that the way to get along in stonefield is to keep one's nose
00:43:32out of other people's affairs come along judy well thanks for the good intentions anyway yes

00:44:56right face

00:45:22been particularly insistent that those children so inclined be given free reign to express their
00:45:27dullance so in a few moments we shall present this year's entertainment under the personal
00:45:32supervision of mary and anne parker oh wendy you look scrumptious i never saw you look so nice thank

00:46:41like it miss appleby honestly you will and so will the audience we're using all the surefire routines
00:46:46mom and dad's out of that well i think i must thank you for all the trouble you've gone through with
00:46:51my pupils oh it wasn't anything after all with our experience it was only natural for us to lend a hand
00:46:57and wait till you see the show miss appleby it's terrific why i'm positive it'll tear the house down
00:47:02and i suppose you're equally positive that the people of this town were serious when they made
00:47:06you chamber of commerce well what are you driving at just this mr valentine your whole existence in
00:47:11this town has been one big joke many people have found your efforts to run this town and everyone in
00:47:16it exceedingly funny but there's a climax to every joke and you've reached it well of all the nerve
00:47:24miss appleby i've been in show business for over 20 years and in that time i've bunked into a lot
00:47:28of sour grapes but really you take the cake sure she's down on us because you stole her thunder at
00:47:32the town meeting why that's ridiculous oh no it isn't you're losing your grip on this town hester and
00:47:39you know it and you don't want this show to go on because you know that we're going to get the credit

00:51:26Oh, poor Wendy.
00:51:56Oh, Wendy, that's all right, honey.
00:52:06It's my fault.
00:52:08Oh, my fault.
00:52:09It wasn't your fault, honey.
00:52:10It wasn't your fault.
00:52:11It's their fault.
00:52:12They're small, small people.
00:52:14So, you were positive you're sure would tear the house down.
00:52:18Perk up, Joey boy.
00:52:19You keep on plugging away and you'll be mayor of this town yet.
00:52:22Why, with that wife and kid of yours out stumping for you, you'd be a lead pipe cinch.
00:52:28Joe!
00:52:31All right, Joe.
00:52:32He had it coming to him.
00:52:34Come on, kitten.
00:52:34Wendy, let's go home.
00:52:39You all right, Mr. Dakin?
00:52:43Now that that's settled, I think we can get back to normal.
00:52:46Normal?
00:52:46Your idea of normal is being mean and vindictive.
00:52:49You've hurt the nicest family that's ever come here.
00:52:51And I wouldn't be like you or the rest of your frozen face.
00:52:53Oh, Mike.
00:52:55Listen, Judy, you wanted me to change.
00:52:57But now it's your turn.
00:52:58If you ever make up your mind, let me know.
00:53:00Einstein couldn't figure this thing out.
00:53:16Oh, and I wanted to hear the friendly hour.
00:53:19Yeah, it's a fine thing when you've got to depend on a radio for friendship.
00:53:22We could use a little friendship around here, no matter where it comes from.
00:53:26Ah, you're right, kid.
00:53:28But maybe it wasn't their fault.
00:53:30I guess we just looked like queer fish to him, that's all.
00:53:33What a life.
00:53:34The most important audience we ever played to him.
00:53:36The only one we couldn't crack.
00:53:39What are you reading, honey?
00:53:41Variety.
00:53:42I'd nearly forgotten the language.
00:53:45Broadway does floppo as biz dives.
00:53:48Hmm.
00:53:49Dave and Fanny Chambers were on a television program in Las Angeles last week.
00:53:53So what?
00:53:54I can remember when they were built under Costello's train sales.
00:53:57She can remember.
00:53:58Vod wowes them in Cleveland.
00:54:01Flicks legit takes back seat.
00:54:03Remember when we were held over in Cleveland for three weeks?
00:54:07I was in school there for so long, they voted me most after succeed.
00:54:10And that night Dad got so mad at you, Mom, he spoiled the finish just because you bought that new dress.
00:54:18Spoiled the finish?
00:54:19Me?
00:54:20Kit was just in a hurry to get off to try it on.
00:54:22Didn't have a chance.
00:54:23You sent it back.
00:54:24Did I?
00:54:25Remember this one, Dad?
00:54:26Hop up us, take a car, hail the cabin.
00:54:29There you are on Fifth Avenue.
00:54:31What fun we used to have.
00:54:34The trains, hotels, dressing rooms, the old gang.
00:54:39Hmm, those were the days.
00:54:42Those were the days you wanted the cows and the chickens.
00:54:44Well, that's the way it goes.
00:54:47You always want something you haven't got.
00:54:50Then after you'll get it, you don't want it at all.
00:54:52So you want to go back?
00:54:55Sure I want to go back.
00:54:57And I bet we'll be better than ever.
00:55:00Hmm, hmm.
00:55:01Oh, you're still a great little actress, honey.
00:55:04Your last speech proves that.
00:55:06Well, let's start warming up right now.
00:55:08Now, come on.
00:55:09Mom, let's make a clean entrance.
00:55:11Okay, we'll pick it up where you come on.
00:55:12All right.
00:55:13And when you do your specialty, honey, give it to him.
00:55:15Remember, you never missed a tap.
00:55:16I used to stand in the wings and I...
00:55:17Oh, just a little bit swell here.
00:55:19This is a good stage.
00:55:20Now, listen.
00:55:21If you do your specialty, put it on.
00:55:24I probably forgot my part.
00:55:27Come on along and let me show you the grandest thoroughfare.
00:55:36Hop a bus, take a car, hail a cab, and there you are on Fifth Avenue.
00:55:46Every Joe, every Jane walks along the dreamer's lane on Fifth Avenue.
00:55:54That's Fifth Avenue.
00:55:57Where they stop, window shop, and their hopes are so high.
00:56:02Pricing rings, rippy things, that they can't afford to buy.
00:56:07But they smile, they don't care.
00:56:10Everyone's a millionaire.
00:56:11When you're strolling on Fifth Avenue.
00:56:15Okay, that's it up, Wendy.
00:56:41Gee, it'll be great to get back in the old routine again, won't it?
00:56:45I can't wait.
00:56:46Maybe, can I?
00:56:47I'm going to start packing right now.
00:56:54Oh, gee, kid, honey, don't, please.
00:56:57What do we care if a bunch of hayseeds don't go for us?
00:57:00It's not for us, I mind.
00:57:02It's for her, after all we planned.
00:57:03Oh, don't worry about her.
00:57:04That kid's a trooper.
00:57:05She'll get along all right.
00:57:07Anyway, we had no right to keep her away from her career.
00:57:09She'll end up a star on Broadway.
00:57:11That's right, Joe.
00:57:13Broadway, bright lights, a big star.
00:57:16That's for her.
00:57:17Valentine's quits Stonefield.
00:57:27Well, what do you think of it, Eddie?
00:57:28It's a classic.
00:57:30And this stuff about with the Valentine's goes the spirit of youth.
00:57:34Hits it right on the nose.
00:57:36There they are now.
00:57:39Hello, kid.
00:57:39Hello, boys.
00:57:40Hello, Joe.
00:57:41Hi, Eddie, how are you?
00:57:42We just stopped in to say goodbye.
00:57:44Look at this, Joe.
00:57:45What?
00:57:46Oh.
00:57:48You should feel highly honored.
00:57:49Only two extras have ever been gotten out by the Democrat.
00:57:52One was when McKinley was shot, and that's the other.
00:57:54Gee, that's a great spread, Mike.
00:57:56Even if it is for our exit.
00:57:58Thanks, Mike.
00:57:59You know, this will do a lot of explaining to the old gang
00:58:00when they start ribbing us about coming back.
00:58:02That's just what Wendy said when she came in to say goodbye.
00:58:04Tell me, Mike, how does she seem to feel, you know, about going away?
00:58:08Wendy, why, she was tickled pink.
00:58:10She...
00:58:15Better take it easy, Wendy.
00:58:18This will be your fourth.
00:58:21You sure are looking bluer in a whetstone.
00:58:24It's just the rain on us.
00:58:27It certainly is beating down.
00:58:28Huh.
00:58:35You've been always counting these contraptions to go bluey
00:58:37just as you need them.
00:58:38Hurry, Ken.
00:58:40But I know they're leaving today.
00:58:44Effie said,
00:58:45the Jeb's bringing their trunks over to the station
00:58:47and they're going on the 418.
00:58:49Good riddance to pay it rubbish.
00:58:51Well, I don't like to cast the first stone,
00:58:53but I must say a body can stand just so much.
00:58:58Marianne.
00:58:59The idea of those cheap, big-mouthed know-it-alls
00:59:01coming here trying to run us,
00:59:04stirring up the young people in everything.
00:59:06Well, Hattie, they didn't really hurt anybody.
00:59:08Oh, didn't they?
00:59:10Why, if it hadn't been for Hester Appleby,
00:59:12would...
00:59:12Yes.
00:59:14If it hadn't been for her and people like you,
00:59:17everybody here would be a lot happier.
00:59:19Maybe you're glad to see us go,
00:59:21but you're not half as glad as we are.
00:59:23You're mean and skimpy-minded.
00:59:25And besides,
00:59:27my mother and father are five million times better
00:59:29than all of you put together.
00:59:30Your mother and father.
00:59:32That's funny, isn't it, Ma?
00:59:34Marianne.
00:59:34Those Valentines aren't your real folks at all.
00:59:36You're just adopted.
00:59:39My pa's town clerk,
00:59:40and he told Ma, didn't he, Ma,
00:59:41that your pa died a long time ago
00:59:43and left you the farm.
00:59:45And do you know what your real name is?
00:59:47Wendy O'Hara.
00:59:48Marianne, you shouldn't have.
00:59:50Let her alone, Bertha.
00:59:51I always say the child should know anyway.
00:59:54Hmm.
00:59:55I know about it all the time.
00:59:58It's just too bad, Marianne,
00:59:59that your mother didn't bring you up
01:00:01to be a nicer girl.
01:00:02You didn't know all the time, did you?
01:00:16All I've ever done was for me.
01:00:23Oh, there they are now.
01:00:28Here's my handkerchief.
01:00:33Do I look all right?
01:00:34You look fine.
01:00:36Goodbye, Judy.
01:00:37Goodbye, Wendy.
01:00:51All set, honey?
01:00:52Yep.
01:00:54Have you been crying again, baby?
01:00:55Of course not, Mom.
01:00:57We'd better hurry, Dad,
01:00:58or we'll have to swim to the station.
01:01:00Well, take your last look, girls.
01:01:02They still say it's a sweet little town.
01:01:09Dad.
01:01:10What?
01:01:12Did you ever hear of a man named O'Hara?
01:01:15O'Hara?
01:01:16What?
01:01:17You ever hear of a man named O'Hara, Kit?
01:01:19Who?
01:01:20O'Hara, Mom.
01:01:21O'Hara.
01:01:23Well, who said?
01:01:23I mean, why?
01:01:24Oh, nothing.
01:01:27Sure is raining.
01:01:29Certainly is.
01:01:31What were you saying about that man, Mr. O'Hara?
01:01:34Well, I saw Marianne in the drugstore,
01:01:36and she said he was my father.
01:01:40I was afraid of this.
01:01:42Well, you see, honey,
01:01:43we were going to tell you all the time
01:01:45when Joe thought that...
01:01:46Me?
01:01:46I wanted to tell you all the time, honey.
01:01:48Your mother here,
01:01:49well, Kit, she thought it would be better if we...
01:01:51Now, Joe, don't say that.
01:01:52I mean, we didn't want to spoil anything.
01:01:55That's right, honey.
01:01:56We just didn't want to spoil anything.
01:01:58You see, we were playing in Portable.
01:01:59We were in Springfield when we...
01:02:00Let me tell her, Joe.
01:02:02All right.
01:02:02You see, Wendy,
01:02:03your mother and father were our best friends.
01:02:06Real troopers and fine people.
01:02:08God doesn't make them any better
01:02:09than Barney and Florence O'Hara.
01:02:12When your mother died,
01:02:13it broke your father's heart.
01:02:15When your father went to join her,
01:02:16he left you with us.
01:02:18We couldn't have loved you anymore
01:02:20if you'd been our own baby.
01:02:22We realized the time would come
01:02:23when we would have to tell you the truth.
01:02:26At first, you were too young to understand,
01:02:28and later, we were afraid
01:02:30of the way you might take it.
01:02:32We didn't want to hurt you.
01:02:36So, you see,
01:02:37you had to find it out like this.
01:02:43No.
01:02:45It was something of a shock.
01:02:48Naturally, you can't expect...
01:02:50No, no, honey.
01:02:51We understand.
01:02:52Mom, Dad,
01:02:54I love you both more than ever.
01:02:55I wouldn't take a million
01:03:00for a mom and dad like you.
01:03:02I wouldn't take a million
01:03:05for the little things you do.
01:03:08If they offered me a mansion
01:03:11in the finest part of town,
01:03:14if you're not in that mansion,
01:03:17then I would turn it down.
01:03:21I wouldn't take a million
01:03:24for the moments we have known.
01:03:26I'd rather sit upon your knee
01:03:30than on a royal throne.
01:03:33If I could rub Aladdin's lamp
01:03:36to make a wish come true,
01:03:39I'd wish that every kid could have
01:03:45a mom and dad like you.
01:03:57That's the wind!
01:03:58Yeah, that's what you get for fun
01:03:59to take a ballast.
01:04:10Well, Bill, what is it?
01:04:11Come on, let's get our gals.
01:04:13We've got to hope it.
01:04:14Come on, darling.
01:04:20Mom!
01:04:23Mom!
01:04:24Mom!
01:04:24Mom!

01:04:26Mom!
01:04:28Mom!
01:04:29Mary Beacon!
01:04:29What are you doing here?
01:04:31Peacon Berry!
01:04:32We're coming back
01:04:32from Peacon Berry
01:04:33and got lost in the store.
01:04:34There's a house up on the hill.
01:04:36We've got to take them up there.
01:04:37Hold on.
01:04:38Keep holding on.
01:04:38Hold on to the house.
01:04:39Let's go all together.
01:04:40Come on, come on.
01:04:41Come on.
01:04:42Come on, come on, come on.
01:04:43Come on, come on.
01:04:44Come on, come on.
01:04:44We've got a hard stop.
01:04:55Oh, man.
01:04:56Get up.
01:04:56Oh!
01:04:57Wendy and Kim, I thought you were, we couldn't get to the station.
01:05:06Sorry to bust in this way, but we have to bring the kids in someplace.
01:05:09Well, it wasn't for Mr. Ballantyne.
01:05:09We wouldn't have got here at all.
01:05:10They have to stay here tonight.
01:05:11Take them into the living room and get the fire.
01:05:12I'm sorry to bust in this way, but we have to bring the kids in someplace.
01:05:14It wasn't for Mr. Ballantyne.
01:05:16We wouldn't have got here at all.
01:05:17They have to stay here tonight.
01:05:18They have to stay here tonight.
01:05:19Take them into the living room and get the fire lighted.
01:05:20All right.
01:05:21All right.
01:05:22I'll get the room here upstairs.
01:05:23Why should I let him?
01:05:24Come on.
01:05:25Come on.
01:05:26Come on now, kids.
01:05:27Now hurry up and get onto these shoes and stockings.
01:05:28Go on.
01:05:29All right, Joe, help me.
01:05:30You'll be nice and warm in a minute.
01:05:45Mom, we'll be sure to wet him when she sees my bed.
01:05:47Jerry?
01:05:49Susie?
01:05:50Where's Jerry?
01:05:51I don't know.
01:05:52Jerry?
01:05:53Jerry?
01:05:54Where did Jerry go to?
01:05:55He was with you, Frank.
01:05:58He was with you, Frank.
01:06:01Dad, Jerry hasn't been here all the time.
01:06:04What?
01:06:06Jerry?
01:06:07Jerry?
01:06:10Well, even one of you kids...
01:06:12I saw him with Connie.
01:06:13I was holding his hand till he slipped.
01:06:15Thought someone picked him up.
01:06:17Oh, it's Jerry.
01:06:18I'll go find him.
01:06:21Joe, I'll go with you.
01:06:23No, honey, you stay here with Wendy.
01:06:24I'll get him.
01:06:25Be careful, Dad.
01:06:26Yes, darling.
01:06:28Take care now.
01:06:31Stay on the road, Joe.
01:06:32All right, all right, honey.
01:06:33Don't worry.
01:06:38Come on.
01:06:39We better go back to the fire.
01:06:42We've gone out there for anything.
01:06:44Oh, I bet he can't find her.
01:06:46I bet he'll never come back.
01:06:47Maybe he got found.
01:06:48Oh, my God.
01:06:49Don't worry.
01:07:10I wish I'd never come.
01:07:12Oh, my God!
01:07:14Can't worry now.
01:07:15There's nothing to be afraid of.
01:07:16I've got...
01:07:17Barry!
01:07:27Barry!
01:07:40It's cool.
01:07:47It's there.
01:07:52Joe.
01:07:58Mike.
01:07:58Wendy, Kit.
01:07:59Good to see Joe.
01:08:00No.
01:08:01Oh.
01:08:02What are you doing here?
01:08:04Well, what do you think I'm doing?
01:08:05I didn't fight my way through this hurricane for three hours to call on your Aunt Hester.
01:08:09Phone lines are all done.
01:08:10I had to come here and see if there was anything left of you.
01:08:13I was worried about you, Judy.
01:08:20Barry!
01:08:25Right, Barry!
01:08:26I'll check it out.
01:08:39Operator!
01:08:40Operator!
01:08:50Susie, it's all right.
01:08:52There's nothing to be scared of.
01:08:54We're all going to be killed!
01:08:55My son!
01:08:57I want my mom!
01:09:00I want to stop it!
01:09:01Stop it!
01:09:02Stop!
01:09:02We must quiet these children.
01:09:04They're getting hysterical.
01:09:05Oh, my God!
01:09:06Stop it!
01:09:07Oh, my God!
01:09:08We're not ready yet!
01:09:09Oh, my God!
01:09:10Oh, my God!
01:09:10Oh, I'll take him, Joe.
01:09:26Bring him upstairs, quickly.
01:09:29Oh, boy, what an effort.
01:09:33Oh, dear.
01:09:35Oh, he's hurt.
01:09:36No.
01:09:40Gee, it's a swell day.
01:09:47If it wasn't for the trees, you wouldn't know there'd been a storm.
01:09:49You were sure scared last night.
01:09:51I was not.
01:09:52You was, Joe.
01:09:54Oh, still, Moth, huh?
01:09:55How did that feel, Joe?
01:09:56Oh, that's swell, honey.
01:09:59Oh, honey, you haven't had much sleep.
01:10:02Oh, I'm all right, Mom.
01:10:06Where's your milk, Susie?
01:10:09Is that it?
01:10:10Oh, now, look.
01:10:11You have to drink every bit of your milk.
01:10:13Hello, Judy.
01:10:14Well, the kids are here, sure enough.
01:10:16Jerry, son.
01:10:18Jerry, boy.
01:10:20You all right, son?
01:10:21Sure, Pop.
01:10:22Say, your mom's just having cat fits.
01:10:25Well, Aunt Hester, don't you think you should tell them what the Ballantines are really like?
01:10:29Don't bother, Judy.
01:10:30They've had enough trouble without us causing any more.
01:10:33They don't like us, and...
01:10:34Well, Joe, what happened to you?
01:10:36Did you break your leg taking bounds?
01:10:38Dad got hurt saving Jerry.
01:10:39Never mind, Wendy.
01:10:40If it wasn't for him, Dad, I wouldn't be here.
01:10:42He saved all of us.
01:10:44That's right, Mr. Dakin.
01:10:46Well, I didn't mean...
01:10:49Yes, you did.
01:10:50And you don't have to try to get out of it now.
01:10:52We know how you feel.
01:10:53All of you.
01:10:54Ever since we came here, we wanted you to like us.
01:10:57And we wanted to like you.
01:10:59But you wouldn't give us a chance.
01:11:00Well, you don't have to worry.
01:11:02We're going away, aren't we, Dad?
01:11:04You keep your old town and team from commerce.
01:11:07We're going back to where, no matter what people are,
01:11:10they don't try to stop people from laughing and having a good time as if we're wrong.
01:11:15All you want to be is mean and saving things and hurt people.
01:11:18And on Friday night, rather than our usual educational film,
01:11:35which was going to be the life cycle of the earthworm,
01:11:37we shall give you Tyrone Power in South Sea Love.
01:11:40And now I give you the family who've shown us we're never too old to enjoy ourselves.
01:11:48Our heaven-sent shot in the arm.
01:11:50The Three Ballantines.
01:11:55Ladies and gentlemen...
01:11:56That's all right. Never mind, folks. I'll hail them. I'm used to them.
01:12:01Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
01:12:03You know, I could pitch a tent here and make a lot of long speeches,
01:12:06but when you're a one-man chamber of commerce, you haven't got time to make long speeches.
01:12:09Is that right, Dixon?
01:12:11That's right, sir.
01:12:12Right.
01:12:12You know, I can go on and tell you how we're going to reopen the stone quarry.
01:12:15Yes, sir, we've got enough slate and granite there to last us for years.
01:12:18Is that right, Sam?
01:12:19That's right.
01:12:20That's right.
01:12:21Oh, I can tell you a lot of things, folks, but you know,
01:12:23the main thing is we all want to be happy,
01:12:25because that's all that counts in life, believe me, folks, is happiness.
01:12:28Isn't that right, Dacon, my pal?
01:12:30You're right, Joey.
01:12:31Thank you, brother.
01:12:32If I'm not mistaken there, neighbor, I think that's your cue.
01:12:35So, Wendy and Kid, are you ready?
