Pictures of Webber's Bread present your all-star Western Theater. Lifting along, bringing us all under a western moon. Applause From Hollywood comes your all-star Western Theater, starring America's great western singers Boy Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sabe. Our guest today is the screen's outstanding western star, Eddie Dean, and a story of the West prepared especially for him. My name is Cotton C. Clark, and here are the Riders of the Purple Sabe. Here she comes, let her roll, there she goes, reading that call. Watch her fly, look at her sail, let her buy, buy, buy a fireball mail. Engineer, making up time, tracks are clear, look at her climb, like a hound, like he's sailed, ballast bound, bound, bound, fireball mail. Watch her swerve, look at her sway, get that curb out of the way. See that freight turn the rail, bet she's late, late, late, fireball mail, fireball mail. Applause We hear a lot about the hard riding and the gun slinging and the excitement of the early West, but little is said about the dreary routine of operating a great cattle spread. Guarding the herd through long lonely nights, weeks of riding fence, and the long blizzard-filled winter months were very monotonous. That's why the cow punchers looked forward to meal time. It was a break in their daily routine. And today, meal time is something to look forward to also, especially when Weber's Bread is served, because Weber's Bread is firm and even textured. It has an appetizing appearance and a distinctive flavor that adds enjoyment to any meal. Weber's Bread is good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Buy a loaf of Weber's Bread next time you go shopping. Believe me, you'll like it. Music To each his own likes and dislikes in music, but it takes genuine sincerity and realness in a song to win the favor of the masses. Songs that are made to rhyme with blue and hue, weary hearts and lots of little darlings here and there. That's the Western Heart song, simplicity and words in music. The writers of the Purple Page clearly defined the meaning as they sing, No One to Cry To. No one to cry to, no one to say good night, no one to tell my troubles to. No one to cry to, no one to hold me tight, no one to cheer me when I need. I go home to my lonely room and find there's no one there. And each night I beg of you, please answer this one prayer. And give me someone to cry to, someone to say I do, someone to whisper I love. Applause It's always a pleasant chore to introduce to you all-star Western theater listeners your good friend and mine, Eddie Dean, one of the great new stars of the Western screen. Although his bid for screen fame is comparatively new, the fine Western singing voice of Eddie Dean has been a family friend of yours for many years on radio and record. And now at your local theater, he's making millions of new friends every day all over the nation. For his return appearance on your all-star Western theater, he is heard as Eddie Sloan in a story of the West entitled, Back to Old Wyoming. Friends and neighbors, Eddie Dean. Applause Somewhere in old Wyoming lives a girl I love. We used to stroll in the morning. Somewhere in old Wyoming, June Bywaters has just returned from a school term in the East as in Nandi's enjoying a party dance given in her honor at her father's Raster J Ranch. Although not the type to express his enthusiasm to any great extent, June's return is a very special event to Eddie Sloan, son of a wealthy neighboring rancher. Well, how does it feel to be home again? Oh wonderful, I've missed all of this. Is that all you've missed? I've missed you, Eddie, lost. Look June, why can't we be married now? After all it is. No Eddie, not yet. Please don't ask me again. But honey, ever since we were kids it's been like this between us. What's wrong with getting married? Nothing, except that I don't want to explain. I can give you everything in the world. Dad has money to burn and. That's just the trouble, Eddie. What do you mean? Let's not talk about it now. We'd better get back inside the house. After all this is my party. Say, I've been looking everywhere for you two. How about coming over here and joining the party? And how about you mind your own business for a change? Why, Eddie? Oh, I didn't mean anything by it, Eddie. Everybody's wanting to know where you were and I thought I'd come out and see if I could find you. All right, you found us. Now get going. Eddie, I'm surprised at you. Certainly we'll go with you, Bob. Just a minute, Miss June. Look, Sloan, you don't order me around like you do the rest of the hands at work for your old man. Please, Bob. And beginning right now you don't work for him anymore. You're fired. Oh, this has gone far enough. Not until I've done something I've wanted to do for a long time. Oh, Bob. What do you mean? All right, Sloan, get up and fight. You won't get by with this. Then now's the time to prove I won't. Bob, please, don't hit him again. I'm sorry, Miss June, but I've been wanting to do that for a long time and so has every other man on the ring. Get up, Eddie. We're going inside. I'm not going anywhere. I don't blame you. Take me in, Bob. Hello, Eddie. June, I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry about what happened last night. You should be glad about it. What do you mean by that? That's the reason I won't marry you, Eddie, as much as I think of you. I still don't understand. Then I'll try to explain it to you. You have no thought or consideration for anyone but Eddie Sloan. Your father never made you get out and work and try to make something of yourself to understand other people. You've had a silver spoon in your mouth all your life and you expect everyone to bow down to you. But, June, I... And you listen to me. When Bob Norman knocked you down last night, it made me sick to see you lie there and do nothing about it, even though you were in the wrong stuff. You haven't been there to fight back. No, Eddie, I wouldn't marry you. We've been sweethearts since we were kids in Grammar School and I don't think I could ever love anyone else, and you'll never be a husband of mine until you make something of yourself that your father's money failed to do. Is that all you have to say? Except for one thing. You're a wonderful person in spite of your weaknesses. But I'm tired of having people laugh at you. I want to be proud of you, Eddie, and until I can be, I... I don't want to ever see you again. How's that new hand Sloan working out, Marty? Pretty good, boss. Claims he's been born and raised on a cattle ranch, but he sure got a lot to learn. Well, hands are pretty scarce right now. Reckon we'd better put up with him. You gotta hand it to him, though. He'll tackle anything you give him. Does he get along with the other men? Well, I reckon so. He doesn't have anything to do with them. He's always off by himself somewhere. Well, maybe he'll be all right. By the way, send a half a dozen men out on that Brandon job in the morning. We gotta rush that work up a bit. All right, boss. In fact, I'd better go along myself. Report back to me when the job's done. Won't take more than a couple of days. Let me know when you get back. Right. Come on, head into that chute you old bugger. Hey, head him up there, Kate. All right, Marty, that's the last one of them. Get the iron ready. I'll set, Joe. Run the calves out first. And, Wildman, give me a hand. You too, Skinner. I will, Marty. Wildman, you throw them calves. I'll put the iron to them. And, Skinner, keep the fire hot. All right, let's go. Okay, Marty, the iron's ready. Turn them over, Wildman. Come on, throw that calf. Here, get out of the way. You act like a tenderfoot. Now, just a minute. You don't have to go shoving me around. When there's a job to do, I believe in doing it right. Now, move aside. All right, boys, take it easy. Maybe I didn't handle the calf right, but I don't like your attitude. Then see how you like this. All right, Skinner, come on. Don't get hot-headed. That's enough. It's a personal matter now, Marty. Come on, tenderfoot. Get up and fight. If that's what you want, now it's my time to... Oh, he's had enough. Now, leave him alone. Won't that be a lesson for you, Wildman? Don't ever cross me. I still don't like to be pushed around, Skinner. What do you think of this? Now, look at here, Wildman. I don't want to hit you again. Now, let well enough alone. As long as I can see, I'm going to fight. So, here. Let up on him. Come on, Skinner. You got to let up. Now, see what you've done with that hot-headed of yours, Skinner. I didn't want to keep punching him. He just kept begging for more. Well, take this bucket of water and throw it in his face. That ought to pull him together. All right. Here it goes. Hey, Sloan. Sloan. Come on, heavy. Oh, dog's gonna have much to kick me in the head. How you feeling, Wildman? Oh, pretty good. Oh, it's you. Now, look, I didn't want to do this to you, but he was asking for it. Oh, that's all right. I'm much obliged to you anyway. Much obliged? For what? Ah, you wouldn't understand. So let it go at that. No hard feelings. Well, what do you know about that? How you feeling, Wildman? Oh, hello, Marty. I don't feel all right. Jen's a little bit out of place. You want to come over and sit around the campfire with us for a while? No, I'll just lie here. I want to do a little thinking. You know, Wildman, you're always off by yourself like this. The boys are beginning to think you don't go for their company very much. Oh, it isn't that. It's just... Well, I just figured that the best way to keep my mouth shut is to stay away from any excuse to open it. You see, Marty, I'm trying to learn to live around people all over again. But this is time to do it right. I'm not sure, but I think I understand. Maybe you do. I might tell you about it someday. Tell me, why did you keep rushing Skinner today when you knew good and well you'd get knocked down again? I wanted to find out something. What, Francis? Two things. First, I wanted to see if I could take it. Second, I wanted to see how much pain there was to getting defeated. Well, you proved you could take it. And for the pain, how about that? A little rough the first three times he hit me, but the fourth time everything was mighty peaceful like. How about coming over with us? No, I'll just lie here and carry on with my singing. One of the boys brought a guitar along. We might do a little singing. Well, that's different. In fact, I do a little singing myself. Good. Come on. Be right with it. Hello there, Wyoming. How you feeling? All right, all right. Still got my teeth. We're on good terms, are we, Wyoming? Yeah, the best. Get out your guitar, shorty. Eddie says he's a singer. Let's have some music. Now, don't build me up too much, Marty. I just said I like to sing. What does he say, Eddie? Oh, I don't know. I'll start one and you boys join in with me. Hit me a D on the guitar. Somewhere in old Wyoming Lives a girl I love We used to stroll in the glomming Under the stars above Oh, how I wish I could see her Oh, how I wish I could be Somewhere in old Wyoming With a girl who waits for me Somewhere in old Wyoming Lives a girl I love We used to stroll in the glomming Under the stars above Oh, how I wish I could see her Oh, how I wish I could be Somewhere in old Wyoming With a girl who waits for me I might have known you'd sing something about Wyoming. What I want to know is what about the girl in that thing. What girl? The one in the song. Oh, her. Well, there's very few songs here without a girl in them. But come to think about it, the girl in this song does sound mighty real, doesn't she? Well, boss, we got that branding job cleaned up and out of the way. Good. You can start to work getting the east section ready for market Monday morning. All right. See you later. Fine, Marty. And by the way, how'd Sloan make out? Great. I had quite a nice talk with him. The way I got him figured out, he's trying to educate himself to get along with people and learning to be a man at the same time. And I think he's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. He's a good guy. Well, I hope he makes a go of it. At least, it's a good trait for a man to have. Hey, Skinner, what's all that shooting down in the draw? Oh, that's Wyoming. Well, what's he shooting at? Tin cans. He's pretty good, too. Well, I'll be dogged going. The next thing you know, he's going to be going into town trying to pick a gunfight to see a good year yeah he's not going to do just that hey what's wrong with your eyes all swollen oh Wyoming kept me one have you let that hothead of yours get loose again oh no I've been teaching him how to use these bits and he's getting better than the teacher. They both we got troubled what's wrong what's happened I heard the North pastor just been rustled not a head left now we got rustlers to contend with again I thought they'd let up on this part of the country want me to round up the man yeah you'd better not waste any time leave a few men here and then the rest of you see what you can do toward dragging them down. Jodi I'll take you Hank Flam skinner Alan and Jerry Eddie you and Joe better stay here at the right now look Marty I'd like to go along with them sorry Wyoming but somebody's got to stay here we've had this trouble before and these men know their way about this part of the country did you ever catch him before no but and I can't do any worse than that look now this isn't like going to town on Saturday we'll let it go at that you'll have to stay here all right now man the only way those cattle could have been driven away from here is over Rocky Creek to the west we'll cross and then scatter they possibly split the herd in several directions let's get going. What's the saddling up for Wyoming? Oh I just thought I'd take a little ride. Yeah but Marty told us to stay here. Unless you tell them somebody will know I'm gone. And I've got an idea how those russers got away with that herd. Well I wouldn't say anything about it Wyoming. That is if you let me go alone. Then saddle up. Just hope that Parker doesn't go looking for a hand about the place the next few hours. Cause they won't. Well I'm sure they will. Well I'm sure they will. Just for a hand about the place the next few hours cause there won't be anybody here. Right with you. Oh boy easy. Oh left there. Who? Well Joe here's where Marty and the boys crossed the rocky creek. Now what do we do? Well there's no need to cross over cause Marty and the other men are covering that side. Well there's no need to stay on this side. We ain't going to find the ruffle herd on our own property. Then there's just one thing to do. I don't get you. Ride down the creek. Now that's no good a quarter of a mile down and the water's too deep for them to pass through. And beyond the deep water it's clear out bed for miles running right through past the picture canyon and to the mountain. So what? Well wouldn't it be mighty easy to swim a herd through the short strip of water? By golly you got something there. Well come on let's go. Come on. Well here we are Joe. If this country from here on isn't a rusted paradise I'll cash in and quit. You're dead right about that. Hey Wyoming. Look just below that tree. That's it. That's where they brought the herd out of the creek bottom. And at the end of those tracks we're going to find the herd of cattle. Come on let's go. Oh hold up there boy. Joe look down below in that canyon. Yeah well what do you know about that? There's a herd and from the looks of things from here they're in the process of changing the brand zone right now. What will we do go back and get Marty and the other men? You can do what you want to do but I'm going to make a play of getting those men down there. Oh but Wyoming the odds are against us there. Are you with me? Well let's go. We'll circle around and come in from the rear. My guess ain't wrong they're paying more attention to branding cattle than they are getting caught. You might have something there. Come on we'd better ride easy though. Now you keep your gun ready Joe. We missed we're donors. Oh hey wait a minute. There's a lookout up down that rock. He could give us some trouble all right. Ah plenty. But with him out of the way we could cover the rest of them before they knew what happened. Then I'd reckon I'd better remove him. Ah Wyoming he should be mighty easy to miss from here. He ain't no harder to hit than a tin can. Shall we take a chance? Well I reckon there's no need to quit now. All right here goes. Now the minute I take him off if I do make a quick play for those men around the branding fire. Plug the first one that even looks at his gun. But if you miss that lookout man what'll we do? Start running for your life. Well I'll take a chance if you will let him have it. Here goes. I got him Joe. All right come on start reaching him and all of you. Come on get him ahead. Don't reach for that gun. Keep reaching if any of the rest of you want to stop breathing start making a play for your guns. What's the idea puncher? You're going with it. Come on all of you drop your guns and get on those horses. The herd will be safe here Joe. Let's take them in. Come on. Well Marty did you find the herd? Not a trace of them Wyoming. I reckon they made a clean getaway. Well that's too bad. Is everything all right here? Oh fine. Oh by the way there's five men over in the bunk house they want to talk with you. Five men? Who are they? I don't know. Strangers in these parts. Oh maybe they're a bunch of cowhands on the loose looking for jobs. But I can't hire all of them. Let's go over and see them. Joe's been keeping them company until you got here. Uh huh. Why would five men come looking for jobs at the same time? Can't hold us here like this. Hello there Marty. Say oh what is this? This Marty is your rustling party. Well I'll be...what do you know? Come in Wyoming. You sent for me boss? Yeah Marty and Joe told me about the good work you did on those rustlers. Well it was just a matter of kind of figuring out beforehand. You can give most of the credit to Joe. Wyoming don't you think your education is about complete? What do you mean? Don't you think you've done a pretty good job of making a real man we call Wyoming out of a mouse that used to live back in Wyoming named Nettie Sloan? What do you know about it? I've been checking up on you for a long time. In fact I know your case history like a book. So what? As much as I hate to lose one of the best hands that ever set foot on this ranch, I'm going to suggest you go back to Wyoming and collect your reward for what you've made of yourself. She's waiting for you Wyoming. Thank you sir. Good luck to you. You've earned it. Music Music Thank you Eddie Dean. It's been great having you as our guest once more. Heard what our guests are today was Helen Gerald as June, Foy Willing as Marty, Al Sloey as Gunner, and Garnet Marks as Parker. Music The last string is out was a phrase that meant to walk right in, in the early ranch days. A cow puncher on the road looking for a new outfit to work for or just seeing what was beyond the next hill, could almost always get food and shelter for himself and his horse in those days of easy western hospitality. Well things have changed since then, but hospitality is still a strong characteristic of the modern westerner. And when they're having guests, many Southern California hostesses serve Weber's Bread. Weber's Bread is always good bread, makes good toast for breakfast, good sandwiches for lunch, and goes well when served with more elaborate meals. When you serve Weber's Bread at meal time or as an in-between snack if guests happen to drop over for the evening, you can be sure that hungry appetites will be satisfied because Weber's Bread is always good bread. Remember to buy a loaf of Weber's Bread in the Blue Gang and Wrapper. The whole family will like it. Music And now here is Foy Willing with our guest star, Eddie Dean. Applause Eddie, it's always nice having a good old Hopkins County Texas boy like you as our guest star. It's always a pleasure to keep company with all you folks, Foy. Now if I have any influence with you, how about another one of those western songs by the writers of Purple Sage? Good. We've got something kind of special for you and all the folks today, Eddie. Yeah? We're going city-fied. Everything is Vought and O'Runey with the Cowboys now. Hmm. Well I just don't get it. Come on writers, let's tell them about the Vought Cowboys. Music Way down along the Alamo lived a Vought Cowboy, just a real hit-do. He used to hit the trail with a beat and what he was singing through the hoof and beak was strictly a diller, a hell of a day killer from all that Morello's Z. Booty-dee, booty-dee, booty, Max Goody, get along, dog-a-reeny. Booty-dee, booty-dee, booty-dee, booty, ah, you'd be kibow. Booty-dee, booty-dee, booty, Max Goody, roses, fanny, torn-a-reeny. Every evening he'd be ridin' it out. At dawn he'd just go out his bank. Morning was no time to get solid deck. Why, he was waitin' until it was right. And he knew the right time had to be a time. He strictly a diller, a hell of a day killer. Booty-dee, booty-dee, booty-dee, booty, he's a Vought Cowboy. Get along, dog-a-reeny. Sing a song, dog-a-reeny. Juggle along, boot-a-booty. Booty-dee, booty-dee, booty-dee, booty, he's a Vought Cowboy. From Hollywood you've heard your all-star Western theater, the DM Bayer production starring America's great Western singers, Boyle-Willing and the Riders of the Purple Sage.

Next week, another great star of the West and the story of the West. This program can be viewed from the studios of KNX Columbia Square. KNX was Angeles Columbia Station for Southern California.
