ROY:
Tonight, Camel Cigarettes present the Screen Guild Players in the most hilarious event of the radio season -- Walt Disney's "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," co-starring that lovable pair, Margaret O'Brien and Jimmy Durante; with Mary Jane Smith in the singing role of Snow White. And now, since time's a-wasting, let's be off to the home of Margaret O'Brien where an excited little girl is seated by the radio.
MUSIC:
(CUTS)
MOTHER:
Margaret...it's time to go to bed...(NO ANSWER) Did you hear what I said, young lady?
MARGARET:
Yes, Mommy. But, can't I stay up just a little later tonight? Please?
MOTHER:
Now, darling, a rule is a ru1e. It's almost seven-thirty, isn't it?
MARGARET:
(RESIGNED) I guess it is....(THEN SUDDENLY) But that's Pacific Standard Time, and we're on Daylight Savings Time!......It's really only six-thirty, you know! And this is something extra-special!
MOTHER:
(AMUSED) All right. What now?
MARGARET:
It's the Camel Screen Guild Players! They're going to do Snow White! And I wouldn't want to miss that for anything!
MOTHER:
Welll....(DOOR BELL, OFF MIKE)
MARGARET:
Mother, it's the doorbell! Who could that be at this late hour?
MOTHER:
(SMILING) Why not go and see? Maybe it's your Prince Charming.
SOUND:
DOORBELL
MARGARET:
(WOEFULLY) Golly, I hope it isn't one of the little boys from down the street who wants to play with me, I won't be able to listen to Snow White.
SOUND:
DOOR OPENS
DURANTE:
HOP SCOTCH ANYONE?!
MARGARET:
Why it's Jimmy Durante!
(APPLAUSE)
MARGARET:
Oh, Jimmy, I'm so glad to see you! Won't you come in?
DURANTE:
THANK YOU MARGARET AND WELCOME HOME FROM MERRY OLD ENGLAND. MIGHT I SAY THE SCINTILLATING CHARM OF YOUR ETHEREAL PRESENCE IMBUES ME WITH RAPTUROUS FELICITATIONS AND SATURATES ME WITH ECSTASY.
MARGARET:
Why Jimmy, how can you say that?
DURANTE:
I DON'T KNOW. I JUST OPEN MY MOUTH AND HOPE FOR THE BEST!....BUT IT'S NICE HAVING YOU BACK, MARGARET, AND HERE'S A LITTLE HOME-COMING GIFT I BROUGHT YOU.
MARGARET:
Oh Jimmy, for me? It's just what I wanted -- a scarf!
DURANTE:
DON'T SPREAD THIS AROUND BUT I KNITTED IT MYSELF.
MARGARET:
Oh it's a beautiful scarf, but what is this lump on the end of it?
DURANTE:
THAT'S THE BIG TOE -- IT STARTED OUT TO BE A PAIR OF SOCKS....(WHERE I SHOULDA KNITTED ONE AND PURLED TWO I KNITTED THREE AND DROPPED FOUR).
MARGARET:
Oh Jimmy, I think you're the most wonderful man I know. Every day I tell my mother that I think you're prettier than Van Johnson.
DURANTE:
YOU DO?
MARGARET:
Yes, and she said I should see somebody about it. (PAUSE) Jimmy, what's a psychiatrist?
DURANTE:
SOMEBODY PASS THE CRACKERS, DURANTE'S IN THE SOUP AGAIN...
MARGARET:
Gee, Uncle Jimmy -- I'm so glad you came. We can listen to Snow White together.
DURANTE:
TO WHO?
MARGARET:
Jimmy, you must have heard of Snow White.
DURANTE NO. I CAN'T SAY AS I EVER MET SNOW WHITE, BUT I THINK I KNOW HER LITTLE BROTHER BOB WHITE...(LAUGHS) I GOT A MILLION OF 'EM, A MILLION OF 'EM. BUT, SERIOUSLY, MARGARET, THIS SNOW WHITE INTRIGUES ME. HOW DOES IT GO?
MARGARET:
Well, once upon a time, long long ago, there lived a beautiful princess named Snow White.
DURANTE:
THIS IS FASCINATING. I'LL PUT A SQUIRT OF TABOO BEHIND MY EAR AND LISTEN.
MARGARET:
Oh, she was a beautiful Princess...But she had a very wicked stepmother, the cruel queen, who made her work as a scullery-maid -- cleaning, scrubbing floors, and washing dishes -- and didn't pay her a cent.
DURANTE:
NOTHING?
MARGARET:
Nothing!
DURANTE:
WELL, FOR NOTHING YOU COULD BUY MUCH MORE IN THOSE DAYS!
MARGARET:
But when her work was through, little Snow White would go out in the garden and sit by the wishing well...She'd gaze into the well, and sing 'I'm wishing,' and the echo would answer, 'I'm wishing'...
DURANTE:
SOUNDS LIKE DEWEY AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
MARGARET:
Just listen, Jimmy. If you try real hard you can almost hear it.
DURANTE:
FUNNY...I DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.
MARGARET:
Shhhh!....Listen...
MUSIC:
(WISHING SONG..........SMITH) (ECHO CHAMBER)
(APPLAUSE)
DURANTE:
SENSATIONAL! COLLOSSAL! THAT PRINCESS SINGS A MIGHTY GOOD DUET!
MARGARET:
Did you really hear it, Uncle Jimmy?
DURANTE:
MAY MRS. CALABASH NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN!
MARGARET:
Well if you try real hard, maybe you can even see the Wicked Queen! I've seen her!
DURANTE:
YOU HAVE?
MARGARET:
You've just got to imagine!....
DURANTE:
OKAY -- I'M IMAGINING.
MARGARET:
Do you see that big stone tower? And those guards in armour?
DURANTE:
YEAH. YEAH. WHERE'S THE QUEEN?
MARGARET:
I don't know...Let's peek in that window!
DURANTE:
IT AIN'T POLITE, BUT I'LL FORCE MYSELF...WHAT DO YOU SEE? (MUSIC SNEAKS IN...UNDER)
MARGARET:
There she is -- that's the Wicked Queen standing by the Magic Mirror!
QUEEN:
(OFF) Oh, Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?
DURANTE:
WHO'S SHE TALKING TO?
MARGARET:
To the Magic Mirror! Listen -- the mirror is going to answer!
MIRROR:
(OFF) Famed is thy beauty, Majesty, but one is still more fair than thee.
QUEEN:
(OFF) Alas for her -- reveal her name!
MIRROR:
(OFF) Lips red as a rose, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow.
QUEEN:
(OFF, ANGRY) Snow White!...I can never be the fairest while she 1ives!....(FADES, SHOUTING) Lieutenant! Lieutenant of the Guards!
(DOOR SLAMS...FAR OFF)
MARGARET:
Golly, she is going to have Snow White killed!
DURANTE:
MARGARET, YOU WAIT HERE FOR ME!
MARGARET:
Where are you going, Jimmy? Are you going to stop the Wicked Queen?
DURANTE:
NO, I GOT TO HAVE A LITTLE TETE-A-TETE WITH THAT MIRROR. (FEW STEPS) OH, MAGIC MIRROR ON THE WALL, WHO IS THE HANDSOMEST MAN OF ALL?
SOUND:
GLASS CRASH
DURANTE:
I LOSE MORE DARN MIRRORS THAT WAY!
MARGARET:
Oh, Jimmy, I'm afraid you broke the spell, and just when we were getting into the story!
DURANTE:
WELL, YOU GOT ME IN. YOU GOTTA GET ME OUT!...WHAT HAPPENS, MARGARET? DOES THE QUEEN LIQUIDATE SNOW WHITE?
MARGARET:
No, she just tries to kill her...She sends her guardsman to take Snow White's life, and bring back her heart as proof of the wicked deed. But the guardsman can't bring himself to really kill her, so instead he kills a boar.
DURANTE:
ANYONE I KNOW?
MARGARET:
No, Uncle Jimmy, this boar is spelled b-o-a-r. He's a wild pig.
DURANTE:
I REPEAT -- ANYONE I KNOW?...BUT TELL ME, MARGARET, WHAT HAPPENED TO SNOW WHITE. I'M BEGINNING TO LIKE THAT KID.
MARGARET:
The Guardsman left poor Snow White in the cold, dark forest to die...But she didn't die.
DURANTE:
PENICILLIN, EH?
MARGARET:
No, she wandered around the forest, and then at last she found a little cottage...You should have seen it, Uncle Jimmy! Everything was very tiny. The chairs and tables were so small, it looked as though a beautiful doll lived there.
DURANTE:
AGAIN I REPEAT -- ANYONE I KNOW?
MARGARET:
There were dirty dishes lying everywhere and everything was full of dust. So Snow White gets a broom and sweeps the floor -- and then she washes the dishes and puts everything in place. And that makes her so tired, she goes right upstairs and falls asleep. That's where the Dwarfs come in.
DURANTE:
DWARFS? WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
MARGARET:
From the forest! There are seven of them -- and they spend all day in the forest working in their gold mine! (DWARFS START SINGING IN DISTANCE....FADING IN, UNDER:) And they're so happy they come up out of the mine singing.
DURANTE:
JOHN L. LEWIS MUST HAVE GOT 'EM ANOTHER RAISE!...YOU KNOW SOMETHING, I THINK I CAN ALMOST HEAR THEM.
(DWARFS COME IN FULL)
MUSIC:
(HEIGH HO..................DWARFS)

SLEEPY:
(YAWNING) Upstairs?
DOC:
Upstairs! And I say -- whatever it is, we got to go up there and get it!
MUSIC:
(SHARP ACCENT...AND CONTINUE UNDER:)
MARGARET:
(EXCITEDLY, TENSELY) And that's the way they go upstairs!...They creep up the steps...with clubs in their hands!.....They open the door very quietly! And then ------ Uncle Jimmy, would you like to know what happens next?
DURANTE:
WELL -- SURE -- I GUESS SO, MARGARET.
MARGARET:
You don't seem very interested.
DURANTE:
INTERESTED? I'M FASCINATED!...BUT DON'T YOU HAVE TO SAVE UP SOMETHING FOR THE SECOND ACT?
MUSIC:

(APPLAUSE)
(COMMERCIAL)
ROY:
In just a moment Jimmy Durante, Margaret O'Brien and Mary Jane Smith will return to the Camel Screen Guild microphone in ACT II of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". Do you remember the first time you heard the story of "Snow White"? You were probably very young...for "Snow White" was old when the oldest among us were in cradles...Yes, it is a fine story...a classic. But even such a classic tale needed the hand of genius to transform it into a great motion picture. And, you know, that's rather like cigarettes. To make a great cigarette like Camel, you start with choice tobaccos, properly aged. But then it takes the hand of genius -- the know-how -- in blending -- to produce the rich, full flavor and cool, cool mildness that make Camel the favorite cigarette of millions. You know, millions of people smoke Camels because they discovered that Camels suit them best. They discovered this by trying and comparing the different brands they'd smoked. And this experience taught them that for flavor, for mildness, and for all-round smoking enjoyment, Camels suit them best.
CHANDLER:
More people are smoking Camels than ever before!
ROY:
Experience is the best teacher! Try a Camel. Let your own experience show you why more people are smoking Camels than ever before! And, you know, Father's Day is June twentieth. So don't forget a carton of Camels for Dad. You can get Camels in the specially wrapped Father's Day carton.

MARGARET:
Well, Jimmy, would you like to hear the rest of the story of Snow White?
DURANTE:
(TOYING WITH THE IDEA) I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I SAID "NO"? UTTER CONFUSION!......... (UP) GO AHEAD, MARGARET. DISH IT OUT. (MUSIC SNEAKS IN)
MARGARET:
Well, when the seven little dwarfs crept upstairs and opened the door -- there was Snow White fast asleep in one of the little beds! (FADE IN DWARFS' VOICES) So they woke her up, and she sat there staring at them. And then she smiled and she said -- (MUSIC CUTS)
SNOW WHITE:
Oh, my! You're all so small! Why didn't you boys grow any taller?
DOC:
I guess we ran out of Vigoro!
SNOW WHITE:
Oh, I know you! You must be Doc!
DOC:
Howdy.
SNOW WHITE:
And you must be Happy!
HAPPY:
(CHUCKLING) Howdy!
SNOW WHITE:
And you must be Grumpy!
GRUMPY:
(GROWLING) Howdy...and don't think I mean it!
SNOW WHITE:
And you -- you're Sleepy, aren't you?
SLEEPY:
(YAWNING) How -- did -- you -- know?
SNOW WHITE:
(LAUGHING) Oh, I just guessed.....But I don't know who you are. What's your name?
SNEEZY:
My name is Sneezy...Silly, isn't it?
SNOW WHITE:
Well, it is odd. Why do they call you Sneezy?
SNEEZY:
I guess it's on account of because -- (SNEEZES A COUPLE OF TIMES)....I'll give you three guesses!
SNOW WHITE:
Is it because you sneeze once in a while?
SNEEZY:
That's right. It's because I --- (SNEEZES VIOLENTLY)....Once in a while she says!
SNOW WHITE:
Oh, you poor dear! What makes you sneeze like that?
SNEEZY:
I'm sorta sickly...I got a fever.
SNOW WHITE:
What kind of a fever?
SNEEZY:
I got.....I can't say it, 'cause it makes me sneeze just to hear that word.
SNOW WHITE:
Is it Spring Fever?
SNEEZY:
Uh-uh......
SNOW WHITE:
Scarlet Fever?
SNEEZY:
Uh-uh....Now please, just let's skip it...
SNOW WHITE:
Is it Hay Fever?
SNEEZY:
You -- (DRAWS BREATH) -- You -- Hoo ahoo ahoo....You said it! ACHOO! ACHOO!....That's the word I didn't want you to say!
SNOW WHITE:
Let's change the subject, Sneezy...My, this is a pretty house you have here.
SNEEZY:
Yes, and it's all ours. No mortgages...We paid over a thousand gold pieces for this place.
SNOW WHITE:
That certainly is a lot of money.
SNEEZY:
It ain't HAY......Ahoo -- ahoo....There I said it myself...Achoo!......Achoo!......Achoo!
SNOW WHITE:
Poor Sneezy! Isn't there any way we can help you?
SNEEZY:
It's too late. I got a headache.
SNOW WHITE:
Why don't you lie down and rest for a while?
SNEEZY:
That's a good idea. I'll go right over to my bed and hit the ---- Oh, no! I just caught myself in time! I bet you thought I was gonna say 'Hit the HAY!'......Ooo -- ahh -- (FADES, SNEEZING VIOLENTLY)

DURANTE:
MARGARET, THAT WAS A MIGHTY NICE STORY. I MIGHT EVEN SAY INSPIRING. YOU GOTTA TELL ME ANOTHER SOME TIME.
MARGARET:
But, Uncle Jimmy, the story isn't over yet.
DURANTE:
IT ISN'T?
MARGARET:
Did you forget about the Wicked Queen?
DURANTE:
INDEED NOT! I SIMPLY CHOSE TO IGNORE HER.
MARGARET:
Well, the Wicked Queen did a whole lot more! When she found out that Snow White was still alive, she decided to put her into a deep sleep.
DURANTE:
AND HOW DID SHE ACCOMPLISH THAT?
MARGARET:
She just prepared a poisoned apple.
DURANTE:
A POISONED APPLE? THAT QUEEN WAS WICKED TO THE CORE! (OH, DURANTE -- YOU POLISHED THAT ONE OFF)
MARGARET:
And you know what, Uncle Jimmy? It was a very special poison. It would put Snow White into a death-like trance. And she could only be wakened by love's first kiss.
DURANTE:
LOVE'S FIRST SMACKEROO!
MARGARET:
Yes. And then the Wicked Queen disguised herself as an ugly old witch. And she took the poisoned apple in her hand. And she went to the home of the Seven Dwarfs....(FADING, AS MUSIC SNEAKS IN UNDER) And then, when she got Snow White alone....
QUEEN:
Would you like an apple, my dear...a nice rosy apple?....A very special kind of apple?
SNOW WHITE:
A specia1 kind of apple?
QUEEN:
Yes, a magic apple. One bite and all your dreams will come true.
SNOW WHITE:
Oh, let me see...what shall I wish for?...I know! I wish my Prince would come and find me, and carry me away to his castle!
QUEEN:
Fine, fine. Now take a bite, my dear....That's it! That's it! (CACKLES)
SNOW WHITE:
Oh, I feel strange.....Oh....(SHE FAINTS...BODY FALL)
QUEEN:
Success! Success!....Snow White, they will think you are dead!...They'll bury you, and I will be the fairest in the land! (LAUGHS LOUDLY)
MUSIC:
(UP...TO COVER...AND OUT)
DURANTE:
WHAT A DIRTY TRICK! THAT OLD WITCH IS REPULSIVE, REPREHENSIBLE, RETROACTIVE AND SUBVERSIVE! IMAGINE LEAVING THAT LOVELY LITTLE GIRL AS GOOD AS DEAD!
MARGARET:
Yes, Uncle Jimmy -- and the dwarfs thought she was dead, too. But she was so beautiful, and they loved her her so much, they just couldn't bring themselves to bury her.....They built a lovely glass coffin for her, and they put her deep in the heart of the forest.
DURANTE:
(BLUBBERING) SPARE ME, MARGARET -- SPARE ME!..IT'S THE SADDEST STORY I EVER HEARD. THE TEARS ARE RUNNING DOWN MY NOSE!
MARGARET:
But wait, Uncle Jimmy! There's a happy ending!
DURANTE:
THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT! A MAN CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH!
MARGARET:
You see, one day a handsome Prince was riding through the forest --
DURANTE:
HOLD IT, MARGARET -- I CAN SEE IT ALL! WHY, IT'S JUST AS THOUGH I WAS THERE MYSELF!....I'M ON MY HORSE! (HOOF BEATS) I'M RIDING THROUGH THE FOREST! I SEE THE COFFIN! I VAULTS FROM ME CHARGER, BEING A GRACEFUL DANCER! I HITS THE GROUND -- (DWARFS' VOICES) -- AND SUDDENLY I'M UP TO ME EARS IN DWARFS!...NOTHING DAUNTED, I KNEELS BY SNOW WHITE, TILTS ME HEAD BACK, SWINGS ME SCHNOZZ ASIDE, AND PLANTS A KISS ON HER DAINTY LIPS!....SHE OPENS HER EYES -- SHE GOES LIMP --- I TAKE HER IN ME ARMS -- (MUSIC SNEAKS IN UNDER)-- AND WE RIDE AWAY TO LLVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER....(LAUGHING) WHAT A RACKET THAT PRINCE CHARMING HAD!

Uncle Jimmy, that's amazing! That's exactly how the story ends!.........How did you know?
DURANTE:
INTUITION! THAT PRINCE CHARMING STUFF COMES NATURAL TO ME. TYPE CASTING, YOU MIGHT SAY. (LAUGHS)
MARGARET:
Yes, I agree with you. You're the nicest Prince Charming that ever was.
DURANTE:
OH, WISH THIS SHOW WERE TRANSCRIBED! I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT REMARK GO ON RECORD! NOW ISN'T IT TIME YOU WERE GETTING TO SLEEP? OR, TO PUT IT MORE LITERALLY - HOW'S ABOUT YOU GETTING SOME SHUT-EYE?
MARGARET:
Yes, Uncle Jimmy, but can I ask you something first?
DURANTE:
SURE. WHAT IS IT?
MARGARET:
When you go to bed do you sleep with your nose over or under the covers?
DURANTE:
MARGARET, MY NOSE IS THE COVERS! (LAUGHS)
MARGARET:

What does your "T-Zone"...that's T for Taste and T for Throat...say about it? Yes...your "T-Zone" is your true proving ground for any cigarette. Try a Camel. See how your taste enjoys the rich, full Camel flavor...See how Camel's cool, cool mildness appeals to your throat. Yes, with millions of smokers, Camels are the favorite for the greatest in smoking enjoyment. And among these millions are many doctors.
CHANDLER:
More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette, according to a nationwide survey.
ROY:
Three leading independent research organizations asked one hundred thirteen thousand, five hundred and ninety-seven doctors what cigarette they smoked. The brand named most was Camel!
