00:00♪♪
00:13The makers of Campbell's Soups present,
00:16The Campbell Playhouse.
00:18Orson Welles, producer.
00:21♪♪
00:34-♪♪
00:42Good evening, this is Orson Welles.
00:45Our broadcast tonight is The Garden of Allah.
00:49Few items of entertainment, novel, play, or motion picture
00:52in The Garden of Allah's been all three,
00:54have stood up under the test of public approval
00:57so well and so long.
00:59We regret that Claudette Kohlberg could not be with us.
01:03But we regard ourselves as very fortunate
01:05in having tonight for the role of Domini,
01:07a very lovely lady who has been with us before,
01:10and whom you have recently had a chance to admire
01:12in that delightful and highly successful picture,
01:14Honeymoon in Bali.
01:17Miss Madeline Carroll.
01:19Now before The Garden of Allah and Miss Carroll.
01:22Mr. Chappell has an interesting word for it.
01:24Thank you, Orson Welles.
01:26The next time you're having a meal in a fine hotel
01:28or restaurant, take just a moment, if you will,
01:31to ask your waiter what one dish in all his experience
01:34he has most often written down on his order pad.
01:37See if he doesn't say with scarcely a moment's hesitation,
01:40why chicken in one form or another.
01:43Because there's no denying that for most of us,
01:45any dish that includes chicken does hold a special appeal,
01:49whether we're eating out or eating at home.
01:52And I think it must be because our liking for chicken
01:54almost, well, it amounts to a national taste,
01:57that Campbell's chicken soup continues to grow
01:59in popularity so steadily.
02:01People who remember the chicken soup
02:03their grandmothers fondly ladled out of home soup kettles
02:06when they've tasted Campbell's say it equals
02:08the best chicken soup they ever had.
02:11It has the deep flavor of chicken clear through.
02:13Every golden drop glooms with chicken richness.
02:16And even the fluffy white rice holds the good taste of chicken.
02:19And there are pieces of tender chicken meat in the soup
02:21to add still more to your enjoyment of every fragrant plateful.
02:25Have you tried chicken soup as Campbell's make it?
02:28In the old home time, old home way?
02:31And if not, won't you do so tomorrow?
02:33I promise you, just as sure as you like chicken,
02:36you'll like Campbell's chicken soup.
02:39And now the Garden of Allah with Orson Welles
02:42and tonight's playhouse guest, Miss Madeline Carroll.
02:46I've heard thee, I've heard thee,
02:52father of all creation,
02:56Beloved in heaven and earth.
02:58It is the greatest love, the love of God.
03:02This knowledge comes to all.
03:04I myself have had it since my first breath.
03:08I, Father Rubie, and that is why I've been happy
03:12to serve God as his priest in all my days
03:15here in Benimora, at the very edge
03:18of the great Sahara Desert.
03:22This is the story of Dominic,
03:24who came here in search of peace and found it.
03:29And of Boris, who finally regained here
03:32what he had almost forever lost.
03:37It would be untrue to say that when I first laid eyes
03:39on those two, Dominic and Boris,
03:42I had even the faintest idea of what was to come.
03:47I first saw them on the very day of their arrival among us
03:51at the Hotel du Desert.
03:53She was by herself at one of the tables.
03:56He was alone at another.
03:59She returned my greeting as I passed
04:01in a direct and friendly fashion.
04:03She had a strange, unusual beauty
04:06to which I could sense, even in that first moment,
04:09the considerable and earnestness,
04:12whose enormous depth I was to learn in the days to come.
04:16I did not see his face, did not look up,
04:18and I did not repeat my greeting.
04:22It is one of the early lessons we learn on the desert
04:24that each one has a right to his own concerns,
04:28to live out his life in the behavior
04:29that seems best to him.
04:32That afternoon later, I saw her again.
04:37Good afternoon, Father.
04:39Can I help you, my daughter?
04:41I'd like to sit here for a moment, Father.
04:43You are a Catholic?
04:44Yes.
04:45If there is anything I can do for you while you are here.
04:47There will be, I know,
04:49but for a few days I intend simply to rest.
04:52That is wise.
04:53It is a long journey here from...
04:55England.
04:56You are alone here?
04:58Yes, Father.
04:59There is someone else here who is also alone.
05:02Yes, he came in the same train with me.
05:05You don't know him?
05:06No, no.
05:07We traveled in the same compartment all day,
05:08and yet, oh, perhaps I may be a lot of nothing,
05:11it was a feeling he gave me rather than what he did.
05:14What was it that he did?
05:15Nothing really, I suppose,
05:16and yet as I was getting on the train,
05:19he was standing in the doorway of the carriage.
05:21He paid no more attention when I tried to get past him
05:23than if I had not existed at all.
05:26He simply stood there and blocked my way.
05:28He almost made me miss the train,
05:30and then all the way to Benemora, he never said a word.
05:33He just turned his head away
05:34whenever I happened to look at him.
05:36It was as if he didn't want me,
05:38as if he didn't want anybody to be with him,
05:40to be near him, to make it necessary for him
05:43to know that there were other people.
05:45That is not uncommon in this part of the world.
05:48Perhaps he has something to hide.
05:50He has, Father.
05:51I could tell that.
05:53Sitting there in that railway carriage,
05:55he looked like a criminal,
05:57bracing himself to escape detection.
05:59He was afraid, I almost thought, of himself.
06:02That, too, is not unusual.
06:04We have many here who try to hide from others, my child,
06:08just as many who try to hide from themselves.
06:12I think I know myself what it is to suffer,
06:14but I have never seen such a tortured face as his.
06:18Peace will come to him, my child,
06:20as it does to all in this desert.
06:23I like to pretend to myself that I have within me
06:27no envy of anyone or anything,
06:30but I have known for years that this is not so.
06:34When I think of Campantione's desert garden,
06:38I have always a small pang of envy
06:40of the people whom I send to see it.
06:43Nowhere else in the world is there such an envy.
06:47I have never seen such an envy in my life.
06:53It is such beauty.
06:55Since I have been in Benimora,
06:57I have been there, what, a thousand times?
07:00Five thousand times.
07:02And yet, one can only see it for the first time once.
07:06As Dominique saw it that day.
07:09It was good of you, madame, to come to see my garden.
07:12It was Father Ruby who told me about them,
07:14and about you, Campantione.
07:16Yes, the father and I are old friends.
07:18Our beliefs are not the same,
07:20but he has done much good here among these people.
07:24Come, madame, now I will show you our desert under the sun.
07:29You must see it also by night, by moonlight.
07:32Tonight I will send a guide for you.
07:34He will take you up to the tower.
07:37After that, you must send him away.
07:40To see the desert at night, one must be alone.
07:45Oh, it's almost too much beauty.
07:48This is my first visit to Africa.
07:51I don't know if you can imagine what I think of your garden,
07:53what I feel in it.
07:55What do you feel in it, madame?
07:58May I tell you something, Campantione?
08:00Please, madame.
08:02My father died a year ago in London of a broken heart.
08:06He had been a man of devout faith until some years before,
08:09until my mother suddenly left him
08:11for a reason that nobody was ever able to discover.
08:15A month later, she killed herself.
08:17From that moment on, he lost all his religion.
08:19He tried to make me lose mine.
08:22Since his death, I have been neither with nor without belief,
08:25without the consolation of faith,
08:27without the strength of disbelief.
08:30I came here to the desert to renew my heart,
08:33to find myself.
08:36I came here to find peace.
08:38There is peace here.
08:41The desert, all with peace.
08:44Peace.
08:46When I'm in Benimora, I usually come here,
08:49where I can see the desert.
08:51The Arabs have it.
08:53The desert is the garden of Allah.
08:56The garden of Allah.
09:01Who is that man?
09:02The diviner of the sand.
09:04He wants to divine your future for you.
09:06My future?
09:07The sand tells him secrets.
09:09Would you like to test him?
09:11I'm not sure.
09:12Mind, I do not press it, if you are afraid.
09:16What is he doing now?
09:18He is speaking with his ancestor.
09:19His ancestor?
09:20The sand.
09:23Can you understand what he says?
09:26The life of madame, I see it in the sand.
09:32The life of madame, in the grand desert of Sahara.
09:37Oh, please, please, go on, translate it for me.
09:41Exactly as it is?
09:42Exactly as it is.
09:44Whatever it may be?
09:45Whatever it may be.
09:48Whatever it is, you shall know it.
09:52He's speaking about the desert.
09:55It is a great storm.
09:58Everything is blotted out.
10:00The desert vanishes.
10:03It is day, yet there is darkness like night.
10:07There is a train of camels waiting by a church.
10:10A mosque?
10:11No, a church.
10:13In the church, there is the sound of music.
10:17The roar of the wind mingles with the chanting
10:20and drowns it.
10:22He cannot hear anymore.
10:25It is as if the desert is angry and wishes
10:26to kill the music.
10:30In the church, your life is beginning.
10:34My life, beginning?
10:37He sees the train of camels that waited by the church
10:40start on a desert journey.
10:42The storm has not abated.
10:44He sees them going toward the south.
10:46A long road, a great road to the south.
10:50On one of the camels, there are two people
10:51protected against the storm by curtains.
10:53They are silent.
10:54One of them is you.
10:55And the other?
10:57Manitani!
11:00He cannot see.
11:03The caravan passes and is lost in the desolation
11:06and the storm.
11:09Now you are far away in the desert.
11:10Among the dunes, there is a tent.
11:12It's night, Lenny.
11:13Yes, it is night and you are quite alone.
11:15But you cannot sleep.
11:16You go out of the tent upon the dunes.
11:18The jackals are howling all around you
11:19and the skeletons of dead camels are white under the moon
11:22and a figure among the dunes is coming toward you.
11:24Who is it?
11:27Who is it?
11:29You watch this figure.
11:30It comes to you walking heavily.
11:32The dates shrivel on the palms.
11:34The strings dry up.
11:35The flowers droop and die in the sands.
11:36The red fires fade away.
11:38All is dark and silent and now he sees.
11:40Wait, wait!
11:41He sees.
11:42I don't want to hear anymore.
11:43You said whatever it may be.
11:44I'm out of my mind.
11:45I don't want to hear anymore.
11:46He sees it plainly.
11:47Just because you don't want to listen.
11:48No, no, I don't, I don't want to.
11:50Stop him, stop him, please, stop him!
11:54No!
11:55No!
11:55No!
11:56No!
11:57No!
11:58No!
11:59No!
12:00No!
12:00No!
12:01No!
12:02No!
12:03No!
12:04No!
12:05No!
12:05No!
12:06No!
12:07No!
12:08No!
12:09No!
12:10No!
12:10No!
12:11No!
12:12No!
12:13No!
12:14A gleam of light there to the west
12:15is the moon, madame.
12:17Shining on the mosque of Cities d'Azur.
12:20Beyond that are the roofs of the greatest caravans
12:22going south to Don Maktoum.
12:24And there, madame, to the east
12:25is the great desert that has no end.
12:28And there to the north, madame, are the mountains.
12:31And beyond the sea,
12:32where are the great ships that will take you home.
12:34I feel as if I had never been home until today.
12:37What did madame say?
12:38Leave me now.
12:39Wait for me downstairs.
12:41There is someone else on the parapet.
12:43A man, madame.
12:44Where?
12:45Oh.
12:46Looks like the stranger, madame.
12:48The one from the hotel.
12:50Go down, Batouche.
12:52If I want you, I will call.
12:53Yes, madame.
13:00Have you been here before?
13:04It's wonderful here, isn't it?
13:06Very wonderful, madame.
13:09We seem to be the only travelers here.
13:12Yes, madame.
13:14There are not many here.
13:17Madame.
13:18Yes?
13:20I have something to say to you.
13:23Not much.
13:25Yet it is much to me.
13:27It is this.
13:29Pardon me, madame, for yesterday,
13:30my silence in the carriage.
13:31I did not mean to be rude.
13:34I was unknowing.
13:35Unknowing?
13:35Unknowing, that's all I can say.
13:38But it is the truth.
13:40I simply do not know.
13:41I have forgotten how...
13:45You must forgive me, madame.
13:47I do forgive you.
13:48Don't think of it anymore.
13:51Those Arabs down there,
13:53they look almost like one of our own religious orders
13:55when they wear their hood.
13:56One forgets their religion.
13:58All men are alike with or without their hoods.
14:00With or without their religions.
14:02Oh, I do not believe that, monsieur.
14:03But I know that, madame.
14:06Each one of us has his happiness to find.
14:09With or without what other people need for theirs.
14:12That should be easy in the desert, then.
14:14One ought to find happiness here.
14:16Why?
14:17Why should you suppose so?
14:19Oh, it's so beautiful and so calm.
14:21Calm?
14:23Where?
14:24In the depths of the desert, there must be peace.
14:27Far away, far away from modern men and modern women.
14:31Far away from all the things to which we are accustomed.
14:34And in which there is no peace.
14:36You think it lies out there,
14:39far away in the desert?
14:42I think it must.
14:43For there is peace of nature.
14:45There is peace.
14:48I will go down now, madame.
14:51You wish to be alone, I know.
14:53And I'm still ashamed.
14:56Of what?
14:57Of my conduct, of my awkwardness.
15:00And I'm with you.
15:01I'm not accustomed to the society of women.
15:05Anything I've done to displease you.
15:06Oh, I have already forgotten.
15:09Good night.
15:10Good night.
15:12You will shake hands with me?
15:14Of course.
15:15My name is Dominique Anfielden.
15:18I don't think you told me your name.
15:19I too am partly English, madame.
15:21My father was a Russian,
15:22but my mother was English like you.
15:24My name is Boris.
15:26Boris Androvsky.
15:29I've learned much from you in these few moments.
15:31From me?
15:33You will never know.
15:35How much?
15:37Good night.
15:53In a village like Benymora, there are no secrets.
15:57In the days that followed,
15:59it was known that Dominique and the stranger
16:00were spending much of their time together.
16:03Long rides in the desert to the neighboring oasis.
16:05Peaceful walks together in the cool of the desert night.
16:09Often I saw them together on the street.
16:11His tall, dark figure beside her slender beauty.
16:15Almost it seemed to me that he was avoiding me.
16:19Until we met one day at Count Antioni's.
16:23We had never spoken till that day.
16:26It was also on that day that I received a letter
16:29from a young French officer named de Trevignac.
16:33His father I had known.
16:36If only I could have foreseen
16:37the things he told me in that letter.
16:40Things seemingly so far removed
16:41from the lives of Dominique and Boris
16:44were someday to decide their destinies.
16:47In the letter, Leften and de Trevignac
16:50informed me with understandable anger
16:52of a regrettable occurrence at the monastery
16:54of El Larraguin in Tunisia, which he had just visited.
16:59A Trappist monk, many years trusted
17:01of the famous Larraguin liqueur,
17:04had broken his vows and disappeared.
17:08It was an offense that shocked him as it did me.
17:12I told you, madame, I do not care for priests.
17:14Still, for once, for an hour, you could surely have.
17:16I prefer not to be with priests.
17:18Well, if I had known Father Rubio was coming,
17:19I would have told you.
17:20Father Rubio hates me.
17:21How can he hate you when he has never seen you before?
17:24Madame, forgive me.
17:26I've suffered much.
17:27I'm suspicious of everybody.
17:28Forgive me.
17:29You will always suffer if you cannot govern yourself.
17:32You will make people dislike you, be suspicious of you.
17:34Suspicious?
17:35Who's suspicious of me?
17:36Who has any right to be suspicious of me?
17:37I'm a free man.
17:37I'll do as I will.
17:38No one has any right.
17:40I'll do as I will.
17:42I am not suspicious of you.
17:43I want to help you.
17:44I know.
17:45I've felt that.
17:47That's why you're the only person.
17:50Listen.
17:52There it is, that Larraguin.
17:54He's always saying.
17:55Who is he?
17:55One of the gardeners.
17:57The count says he's perpetually in love.
17:59That's why he's always saying.
18:00Is that a love song?
18:01Don't you think it sounds like one?
18:05How should I know?
18:08I must tell you something.
18:11That song, it does move me, but I don't like it.
18:14Why not?
18:15It seems to me almost like an intrusion.
18:18There are things that should be left alone.
18:20There are dark places that should be left dark.
18:24It seems to me that-
18:25Pardon me, I would not interrupt.
18:27Oh, please, Count Antioni.
18:28A word has come for me.
18:29I'm leaving at sundown today on a journey.
18:31I'm going to city Hassan across the desert.
18:34Madam, if you'll excuse me.
18:35But I haven't yet shown you-
18:36Good day, Count Antioni.
18:38Thank you for having let me see the garden.
18:39I must go.
18:40Let me show you to the gate, Monsieur.
18:43Thank you, but I would prefer not.
18:45As you wish.
18:47Goodbye, Monsieur Androsky.
18:49Goodbye.
18:53Your friend, I don't think he likes me or my garden.
18:59Perhaps he has something that's troubling him.
19:02I think you're right.
19:03If he'd only let other people help him a little, I-
19:06No one can help you with something
19:08that is really important.
19:11Where is city Hassan, where you are going?
19:13To get there, one takes the caravan route to the south.
19:17My road.
19:18Yours.
19:19The one I shall travel on one day.
19:21If it is the will of Allah.
19:23But if one does not believe in Allah-
19:25It will still be his will.
19:27And now I must go, my companions are waiting for me.
19:30Goodbye, and thank you for all your kindness.
19:33This garden is yours, day and night.
19:36May Allah have you in his keeping.
19:39And when your summons comes, obey it.
19:42And when, if you ever make your long journey on that road,
19:48the road to the south,
19:51I wish you Allah's blessing in the garden of Allah.
20:15Father, may I speak with you?
20:17My child?
20:18Father, do you think it is right to try and avoid
20:21what life seems to be bringing,
20:22to seek shelter from the storms?
20:24Is it not our duty to help others
20:26who cannot help themselves?
20:28I have known people, my daughter,
20:29who seemed almost to think it was their mission
20:31to convert the fallen angels.
20:33They confuse their powers
20:35with the powers that belong to God alone.
20:37Yes, but if a friend, someone whom you,
20:40for whom you had great sympathy,
20:42were possessed by torture, by the devil, perhaps,
20:44would you not try-
20:45My friend, this person of whom you speak,
20:48it is Boris Androvsky, is it not?
20:51As a friend, I warn you most solemnly
20:54not to make friends with this man.
20:56Will you give me your reason for this warning?
20:59I cannot.
21:00I have no reason to give.
21:02My reason is my instinct.
21:04Do you think he is evil?
21:05I don't know if he is evil.
21:08I don't know what he is.
21:09I know that he is not evil.
21:11My daughter, you know your own strength best.
21:14Only this, I beg of you.
21:17I beg you to pause and to think before it is too late.
21:22Thank you, father.
21:23I know what you mean.
21:25And I think I know now what I want.
21:36Madame, I've come to tell you.
21:40I've made up my mind.
21:41Yes?
21:43Tonight, I'm leaving Benimora.
21:44Tonight?
21:46I've come to say goodbye.
21:48I think I knew.
21:50That I'd be leaving?
21:51That it would be like this.
21:53That you would come here into this garden one day
21:56and bid me goodbye.
21:57And that I should feel as I do.
21:59I've been standing where you couldn't see me
22:00and watching you for a long time.
22:02Your face was not happy.
22:05You will stay here?
22:06I will not stay here.
22:08I will make my journey into the desert.
22:09Alone?
22:10What else can I do?
22:11Once you said to me
22:14that peace must dwell out there in the desert.
22:18It was on the tower,
22:19the first time we ever spoke to each other.
22:20I remember.
22:21Why did you speak to me?
22:22We came into the desert together.
22:24We had to know each other.
22:26And now?
22:28Now we...
22:31We have to say.
22:36Dominique, I love you.
22:38I love you.
22:39But don't listen to me.
22:41You mustn't hear it.
22:42You mustn't.
22:44But I must say it.
22:46I can't, I can't go till I say it.
22:47I must hear it.
22:49Hear it.
22:50I love you.
22:51I love you.
23:22You are listening to the Campbell Playhouse presentation
23:24of The Garden of Allah,
23:26starring Madeline Carroll and Orson Welles.
23:28This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
23:46This is Ernest Chappell, ladies and gentlemen,
23:48welcoming you back to the Campbell Playhouse.
23:50In a moment, we shall resume our presentation
23:52of The Garden of Allah.
23:53But first, a reminder.
23:55Some of us will be observing Thanksgiving Day this week,
23:58others next week.
24:00But whichever date we may be keeping,
24:01the fact remains that on this day,
24:03our thoughts naturally go back to the hardy pioneers
24:05who first established it.
24:08And we're apt to think too of the simple, homey dishes
24:10that nourished our forefathers and that they delighted in.
24:13Homespun dishes like corn pudding and Johnny cake
24:16and good pork and beans and hearty, wholesome soups.
24:20Soups of the kind we like today.
24:22Now, it's true that changes have come,
24:25but they are changes chiefly in method.
24:27The tractor, for example,
24:28has replaced the ox-drawn plow of the pioneers,
24:31but the same corn grows in the fields.
24:34The soup kettle is fast disappearing from the home kitchen,
24:37but the same fine, nourishing soups are served and enjoyed
24:40as Campbell's soups are welcomed in home after home.
24:44So let me ask you,
24:45are your family enjoying the fine flavor of Campbell's soups?
24:49If not, won't you try them?
24:51I know that you and your family
24:52will find them the good home kitchen kind.
24:56And now Orson Welles continues our Campbell Playhouse
24:58presentation of the Garden of Valor,
25:00starring Madeleine Carroll.
25:15Repeat after me.
25:16I, Domine, take thee, Boris, for my lawful husband.
25:19I, Domine, take thee, Boris, for my lawful husband.
25:22From this day forward to have and to hold.
25:24From this day forward to have and to hold.
25:26For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
25:30in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
25:33For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer,
25:37in sickness and in health, till death do us part.
25:40Ego coniungo vos in matrimonium
25:43in nomine Patris et Filii.
25:46Amen.
26:03I had done what I could.
26:05I did not appeal to Domine again.
26:07It was her right to do what she pleased with her heart.
26:10And so, on the morning of a day still memorable
26:13for one of the worst sandstorms
26:15that has ever come to Benimora,
26:17with a heavy heart,
26:19I married them in my little church
26:21at the edge of the desert.
26:23Boris and Domine,
26:25those two whom the desert had brought together.
26:29Even as I spoke the holy words
26:31and placed her hand in his,
26:34there came over me once again
26:36the feeling that here before me was a man
26:39with a nameless fear.
26:41A man haunted by an agony
26:43too great to be borne alone.
26:49Well, madame, I have fastened the tent.
26:52Now, even if the wind rise again, you are safe.
26:54Thank you, Batouche.
26:56Boris, our tent, yours and mine, our home.
27:01Stay here beside me, Domine, by the fire.
27:03Oh, Boris, are you happy?
27:05For me, there will never be another hour like this.
27:08All my life is tonight.
27:10I've had no life yet,
27:13but tonight I'm alive.
27:15Flesh and blood, heart and soul.
27:19There's nothing here.
27:21There can be nothing here to take my life from me now.
27:26The life of our love tonight.
27:28It frightened me to receive so much from you.
27:31You make everything I have and am seem small and yet great.
27:36Mine is small who loves.
27:38Mine is poor.
27:40Mine is bad who loves.
27:43Love burns up evil.
27:45Only the beautiful remains.
27:48You know what is in my heart, don't you, boy?
27:50Do I?
27:52All that is in your heart.
27:53My heart is full of one thing, quite full.
27:56Then I know.
27:58And yours?
27:59Mine too.
28:01I have never felt the presence of God in his world
28:03as I feel it tonight.
28:05Even in the church this morning,
28:06he seemed farther away than now.
28:08I think I've always known the deeper I would go
28:10into the desert, the nearer I should come to God.
28:14Why should you think that?
28:15Because there is love in the desert.
28:17That's why the Arabs call it the garden of Allah.
28:20The desert shall be your garden tonight.
28:23There will be nothing in it.
28:24Only you and I.
28:26You and I.
28:29The fire is going out.
28:32It's dying.
28:33Look how small the circle of flame.
28:36How the darkness is creeping up about it.
28:40The desert is sending us its darkness.
28:43Sending darkness for you and for me.
28:46Because of our love.
28:49The fire has gone out.
28:51It's dark.
28:53Tell me, Damani.
28:56Tell me that you love the darkness.
28:59Damani, what is it?
29:01Madam, it is not the master.
29:02These are soldiers.
29:03Soldiers.
29:04Madam, madam.
29:05Yes, monsieur?
29:06We have been lost for three days in the great dunes.
29:08This morning our water gave out.
29:09And just as we were giving up hope,
29:10suddenly we saw the light of your fire.
29:12Oh, you must rest, gentlemen.
29:13My husband will be back soon.
29:14He is very ill.
29:15He has a fever.
29:16He has a fever.
29:17He has a fever.
29:18He has a fever.
29:18He has a fever.
29:19He has a fever.
29:20He has a fever.
29:21He has a fever.
29:22He has a fever.
29:23He has a fever.
29:23He has a fever.
29:24He has a fever.
29:25He has a fever.
29:26He has a fever.
29:27He has a fever.
29:28He will be back soon.
29:29He has gone out to game.
29:29Thank you, madam.
29:31These are my soldiers.
29:32I am Lieutenant de Trevenlak.
29:42Damani, are there lights down there by the well?
29:44Yes, tonight we have comrades in the desert.
29:47Comrades?
29:49Arabs?
29:50No, French.
29:50An officer and his soldiers
29:51who had lost their way in the dunes.
29:53He is eating with us.
29:53You asked him?
29:54Why, why, yes, of course I did.
29:56I'm sure that if you'd been here
29:57when Monsieur de Trevenlak arrived...
29:58De Trevenlak?
29:59Yes, the officer.
30:00That's his name.
30:02What is it, Boris?
30:03Nothing.
30:05Nothing.
30:15I'm afraid my men are lifting their voices
30:17very loudly, madam.
30:17Oh, let them.
30:18It's a long time since we have had strangers with us.
30:21They are grateful for being alive.
30:23They owe it to you, madam.
30:24And you, monsieur.
30:26Tell me, monsieur Androwski, haven't we met before?
30:31No.
30:32Your face seems familiar to me somehow.
30:35I seem to remember...
30:36It's impossible that we should have met.
30:38We have not met before.
30:41Then I'm mistaken.
30:42You are mistaken.
30:45You've been here long, here in the desert?
30:48Two months.
30:49It is my good fortune.
30:51Let me offer you a toast.
30:53If you will permit me, I have a flask of liqueur.
30:55May I send for it?
30:56Of course.
30:57Batouche?
30:58Yes, monsieur.
30:59You will ask the consul to give you the bottle of Larraguine.
31:02That is in my pack.
31:03Yes, monsieur.
31:04Larraguine?
31:05Yes.
31:07You know it, perhaps?
31:09No, no, I...
31:11Oh, si.
31:12It was the finest of our African liqueurs.
31:14What?
31:15Unfortunately, yes.
31:17There will never be any more Larraguine.
31:18But why?
31:20It's a tragic story, madam.
31:22This liqueur has been made for 80 years
31:23by the Trappist monks of the monastery of Larraguine in Tunisia.
31:28Every summer, from the first grapes,
31:29the monks have distilled a small amount of this priceless liqueur.
31:33The revenue going to the free hospital in Tunis.
31:36The formula was never written.
31:38Always, it was known to one single monk in the order
31:40who, on his deathbed, would deliver the secret to his successor.
31:45Well, monsieur.
31:47The last keeper of the secret broke his vows.
31:50A monk?
31:51Yes.
31:52Only this year, he disappeared.
31:54Perhaps he was a very young man.
31:56Perhaps the hard life, the rule of silence must have...
31:58Madam.
32:00He had been a monk for 20 years.
32:02A servant of God for 20 years, and then to...
32:05Oh, how terrible.
32:06How could a man?
32:07What reason?
32:08He may have had a very good reason.
32:09There can be no reason for a man to desert his God.
32:12Here it is, monsieur.
32:12The flask you sent before.
32:15Your flask, madam.
32:17If you don't mind, will you excuse me?
32:19I should go down and see if your men need anything.
32:21You are very kind, madame.
32:25Your glasses.
32:27A larrigine.
32:28Don't be long, Dominique.
32:29I won't, my dear.
32:30A larrigine.
32:39Where is he, Lieutenant de Trevignac?
32:41The liqueur.
32:42The bottle has been smashed.
32:43What is it, boys?
32:44What happened?
32:44Nothing happened.
32:46Nothing.
32:48Dominique.
32:50Dominique, do you really care whether that officer is here
32:52or gone?
32:53Do you want anyone to be with us to break in on our lives?
32:57Aren't we happy alone?
33:00Dominique, have you perfect trust in me?
33:01I have given my life to you.
33:02What more can I give?
33:03I have nothing but you, Dominique.
33:06Nothing.
33:08Before you, there was nothing.
33:13If I were ever without you again...
33:15You are troubled, Boris.
33:16There is something between us.
33:18You have all my love.
33:19I had hoped by becoming one, you and I,
33:22we could bear your burden of misery together.
33:24Give me your sorrow, Boris.
33:26I cannot.
33:28I can give you everything I have.
33:31More than I have.
33:34But I cannot give you that.
33:36There can be no happiness for us unless I know your misery,
33:39unless I bear its burden with you.
33:42Tell me what it is, Boris.
33:43You must let me alone for a while to think, Dominique.
33:46Perhaps if you pray.
33:48Pray?
33:51I'll try.
33:54I'll try to pray alone.
33:57In the night.
33:59In the desert.
34:02I'll try to pray.
34:16Boris.
34:17I have returned to you, Dominique.
34:18I have waited for you all night.
34:19I have prayed all night for you.
34:21I was on my knees.
34:23Alone in the desert.
34:26I tried to make my confession to it.
34:29As if it were a priest.
34:32But I couldn't.
34:34I could only make it to you, Dominique.
34:36Only to you.
34:37Do you hear, Dominique?
34:38Tell me whatever it is.
34:39I will understand.
34:40Because I love you.
34:41Dominique.
34:42You want to know something?
34:45Dominique.
34:46You want to know what it is that makes me unhappy.
34:50Even in our love.
34:52Desperately unhappy.
34:54It is this.
34:57I believe in God.
34:59I love God.
35:02And I have insulted him.
35:05I've tried to forget him.
35:07To put human love, the love of you, Dominique,
35:10higher than my love for him.
35:13But always I'm haunted by the thought of him.
35:16And from that thought has come my despair.
35:20Once when I was young, I gave myself to God solemnly.
35:24I've broken the vows I made.
35:27I...
35:29You gave yourself to God?
35:31How?
35:32I...
35:34I gave myself to God.
35:37As a monk.
35:39You were right.
35:41You were right.
35:43You've had my love.
35:45Not my truth.
35:47Now take my truth.
35:50I've kept it from you.
35:52Now you shall have it, Dominique.
35:55Hint me tonight, but in your hatred,
35:57believe that I never loved you as I love you now.
35:59Give me your truth.
36:04Even as a child, Dominique.
36:08Even as a child, I was devout.
36:11It seemed to me that there could be nothing more glorious
36:14than that I should give up the world.
36:17At the earliest moment that I could,
36:19I went into the monastery.
36:22I was at peace there.
36:25Dominique, I was happy.
36:27Happy?
36:29It was a lonely sort of happiness,
36:31but it was happiness.
36:33When it came time to take the eternal vows,
36:36I did not hesitate.
36:38And even now, when some of the novices
36:40went out again into the world,
36:42I simply wondered that they could be so blind
36:44about their own happiness.
36:46I worked in the fields and the garden.
36:49I lived in the sun and the rain
36:51close to the earth day after day.
36:53And at night,
36:55there was the long, plain chapel where I prayed,
36:58where God seemed very near.
37:01There was nothing to mar my peace.
37:04I lived in his love,
37:06simply, happily.
37:09Go on, Boris.
37:11When the old Abbey died,
37:13and the new Abbey put me in charge of the little house
37:15where visitors are received,
37:17they absolved me from my vow of silence.
37:20Then for the first time in years,
37:23I saw other people,
37:25talked to other people
37:27for the first time since I was a child.
37:30I listened to the voices
37:32I listened to the voices of men
37:35and women.
37:37One summer, we sheltered a man
37:39who was tortured by his love for a woman.
37:42He talked to me of her day after day,
37:44of her beauty, of his agony,
37:46trying to free himself from his torture,
37:48but only, only robbing me
37:50of my own quiet.
37:52Then one day,
37:54the woman came to the monastery,
37:57unable longer to enjoy her own torture.
38:00Seeking him out,
38:02I saw them
38:04rush into each other's arms.
38:07Their faces were the faces of angels.
38:14That night,
38:16alone in my cell,
38:18I was unable not to think
38:20of what I had seen,
38:22the pain, the misery,
38:24the torture of love,
38:26and all of them together,
38:28the ecstasy of love.
38:31All the things that were denied to me
38:33for every, every man, every woman,
38:36obsessed me.
38:38What was their life? What did they feel?
38:41I would look out of the monastery walls
38:43toward the lights of the city and think,
38:45they are living there,
38:47those people, living.
38:49For weeks, for months,
38:51I fought with my obsession.
38:53Then,
38:55at last,
38:57one night,
38:59I fled the monastery.
39:03Now I've given you my truth, Dominique.
39:06Now you know
39:08all there is to know.
39:11God help me.
39:13Now you can pray, Boris.
39:15Pray?
39:16Yes.
39:17I will pray with you.
39:21Our Father who art,
39:23pray with me, Boris.
39:25Our Father.
39:27Our Father.
39:29Our Father who art in heaven.
39:31Our Father who art in heaven.
39:32Hallowed be thy name.
39:33Hallowed be thy name.
39:34Thy kingdom come.
39:35Thy kingdom come.
39:36Thy will be done.
39:37On earth as it is in heaven.
39:39We've been drowning for days, Dominique.
39:43Tell me where we're going.
39:45Not yet.
39:48Dominique,
39:51don't take your heart away from me entirely.
39:55Dominique,
39:57I want to know
39:59where we're going.
40:01I want to know
40:03where we're going.
40:05I want to know
40:07Dominique, don't do that.
40:11Do you know that since
40:13since I spoke,
40:15since I told you,
40:18you've never come near to me,
40:21never touched my hand,
40:24never...
40:25I know.
40:26And yet I have never loved you, Boris, as I do now.
40:30Now I will tell you where we are going.
40:33We are going back to Bennymore.
40:35You must attain your peace.
40:37Not with me, but with God.
40:40Dominique,
40:42take me where you will.
40:46If it is to Bennymore, I will go.
40:50But...
40:52But afterwards...
40:53Afterwards?
40:55We cannot think of afterwards, Boris.
40:58God knows what is in your heart and in mine.
41:01Perhaps in our hearts already he has put a secret knowledge of the end.
41:04The end?
41:05Yes, the end.
41:31Where shall I drive to, monsieur?
41:34Tell him, Dominique.
41:36To... to Alaragin.
41:38To the monastery, madame?
41:40Yes, to the monastery.
41:46Where will you be, Dominique?
41:48When I'm gone?
41:50I don't know.
41:52I can't think of that now
41:54in the last few minutes.
41:56If I could feel that I could...
41:59I could sometimes see you,
42:02even far away,
42:04like those lights down there.
42:08But never,
42:10never to see you again
42:13as long as I live.
42:15We will see each other every day
42:17in our prayers.
42:20Dominique,
42:22I'm afraid
42:24Dominique,
42:27till the end of my life I will think of you,
42:31every day,
42:33every hour.
42:34No, Boris, don't kill me, don't.
42:36Dominique, don't shrink from this.
42:39This is the truth,
42:42the truth of my soul,
42:44and you love the truth.
42:47Dominique, I cannot regret that we have loved each other,
42:51that we will love each other forever,
42:54I cannot even wish to regret it.
42:58Always I knew that I was sinning
43:00against God and you,
43:02against myself, my eternal vows.
43:05But I see it now.
43:08Before I knew you, Dominique,
43:11I never really knew God.
43:13Now I...
43:15I know him.
43:17In the worst moments of the agony
43:19that is to come,
43:21I shall always have that hope.
43:23I shall always feel that I...
43:25I know what God is
43:27because of you.
43:29I know.
43:31I too,
43:33wherever I go,
43:35that will be the glory of our happiness, Boris.
43:38We will learn to say to ourselves,
43:41we are unconquered,
43:43we are unconquerable.
43:53Here we are, monsieur le dame.
43:55Tell that again.
43:57This is the monastery.
43:59Stop here, driver.
44:01But, monsieur, it is not allowed.
44:03The visit of infants is over...
44:05Stop here.
44:07Where, monsieur?
44:09Dominique.
44:11Go, Boris, quickly.
44:13Let me touch your hand.
44:15Once again.
44:17My darling.
44:19Dominique.
44:21Goodbye.
44:23Goodbye, my love.
44:51Go on, driver.
44:53Madame.
44:55Drive back to Tunis.
44:57Madame
44:59does not wish to wait.
45:01Monsieur.
45:03Drive back to Tunis.
45:21We do not count time
45:23in the desert
45:25as does the world elsewhere.
45:27And so, in truth,
45:29I could not say now
45:31how many years it has been
45:33since Dominique came back to us
45:35here at Benimoura
45:37where she and Boris first met.
45:39I know that she is a gentle
45:41and gracious lady.
45:43I know that she is a gentle
45:45and gracious lady.
45:47I know that she is a gentle
45:49and gracious lady
45:51and that I spend my afternoons
45:53sitting quietly with her
45:55in the garden on the edge of the desert
45:57while her child
45:59and his
46:01a child that Boris can never know
46:03plays happily at her feet.
46:05I know that her eyes
46:07are turned almost always
46:09in the direction of that hill
46:11where, many, many miles
46:13away across the Tunisian desert
46:15lies the trappist
46:17the monastery of El Aragin
46:19to which Boris returned.
46:21And I know
46:23because I see her so often
46:25because I hear every now and then
46:27from the abbot of the monastery
46:29that the two of them
46:31Boris and Dominique
46:33have found their happiness
46:35firm and enduring
46:37in that to which, in the end,
46:39all men must return
46:41the greatest love
46:43which is
46:45the love of God.
46:47Amen.
47:15This concludes
47:17our Campbell Playhouse
47:19presentation of the Garden of Allah.
47:21In just a moment, Orson Welles
47:23will return to the microphone
47:25with tonight's Playhouse guest,
47:27Madeline Carroll.
47:29Meanwhile,
47:31I'd like to leave just a thought
47:33with the mothers listening,
47:35and it's this.
47:37Why not build a nourishing school day meal
47:39for your children
47:41around bowls of Campbell's chicken soup?
47:43And they'll taste the flavor of chicken
47:45in every gleaming spoonful of this good chicken soup
47:47with fluffy rice
47:49and tender chicken meat.
47:51Wouldn't you like to try it?
47:53See if you and your children don't take to it eagerly.
47:55Because just as sure
47:57as you like chicken,
47:59you like Campbell's chicken soup.
48:01And now, here is Orson Welles.
48:03Ladies and gentlemen,
48:05it gives me great pleasure to present to you now
48:07our guest of the evening,
48:09Miss Madeline Carroll.
48:11Madeline, I can't tell you
48:13how glad we are to have you with us again tonight.
48:15Ever since you did the Green Goddess last spring,
48:17we've been hoping to have you back.
48:19Back is right. I've been in jungles ever since last spring.
48:21Jungles?
48:23Paramount jungles. First I was in the Balinese jungle.
48:25In honeymoon in Bali. Yes, you were wonderful.
48:27And now I'm acting my way
48:29through the African jungle in safari.
48:31You have no idea how happy I was with you
48:33just now in that nice, clean desert.
48:35Besides, I've never been
48:37in a jungle in my life, and as a matter of fact,
48:39I have been in the Sahara Desert.
48:41So have I. What a pity we never met.
48:43You and I on the great road to the south,
48:45our desert caravan under the moonlight.
48:47Did you ever ride one?
48:49I beg your pardon? A camel.
48:51Indeed I did.
48:53It's still a matter of lively comment among the natives.
48:55Did you?
48:57That's not a matter I care to discuss, Orson.
48:59However, what I will discuss gladly
49:01is how very much I've enjoyed
49:03both the times that I've been here with you
49:05on the Campbell Playhouse.
49:08There's a special quality about these shows of yours
49:10that makes it a real pleasure to act on them.
49:12Thank you, Madeline. And next time you'll emerge
49:14from one of your jungles,
49:16you'll please let us hear from you, won't you?
49:18I certainly will. Meantime,
49:20shall I give your regards to Dr. Livingston?
49:22Good night, Orson. Good night,
49:24and thank you, Madeline Carroll.
49:26Ladies and gentlemen, tonight in our Campbell Playhouse
49:28production of The Garden of Valor, Madeline Carroll
49:30played Domini in Felden.
49:32Everett Sloan played the Count George Koulouris,
49:34with Father Rubia and Ray Collins was heard
49:36Boris was probably identifiable
49:38and the music, as always, was arranged and conducted
49:40by Bernard Herrmann.
49:42And next Sunday,
49:44next Sunday we bring you Dodsworth,
49:46which bears the unique distinction
49:48of having been written by a great American novelist
49:50and made into a play
49:52by a great American playwright.
49:54The work of Sinclair Lewis,
49:56the first American winner of the Nobel Prize
49:58for Literature, was dramatized by
50:00the late Sidney Howard,
50:02twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
50:04First as a book,
50:06then as a play, and finally as a motion picture,
50:08this story of a
50:10successful American and his wife
50:12and their trip abroad
50:14and what happened to them
50:16has never failed to move American audiences.
50:18As our guests, we're very proud
50:20to have with us the two ladies who, in the original
50:22New York production, created the parts
50:24of Edith Cortright and Fran Dodsworth,
50:26Miss Nan Sunderland,
50:28whom you've heard with us
50:30before on The Magnificent Ambersons,
50:32and that well-known American actress
50:34of the stage and motion pictures,
50:36Miss Faye Bainter.
50:38And so, until then,
50:40until next Sunday
50:42in Dodsworth, my sponsors,
50:44the makers of Campbell's Soup,
50:46and all of us here in the Campbell Playhouse
50:48remain obediently yours.
51:02The makers of Campbell's Soup
51:22The makers of Campbell's Soup join us
51:24in inviting you
51:26to be with us in the Campbell Playhouse again
51:28next Sunday evening when we bring you
51:30that great American story, Dodsworth,
51:32with Faye Bainter and Nan Sunderland
51:34as our guests.
51:36Meanwhile, if you have enjoyed
51:38tonight's presentation,
51:40won't you tell your grocer so tomorrow
51:42when you order Campbell's Chicken Soup?
51:44This is Ernest Chappell saying
51:46thank you and good night.
51:53This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.
