From the West

Dick Powell, presents:

The Theater of the West.

To look for gold there were many methods.

But washing was the easiest way to find it.

The miner would pick up some sand and gravel, so...

And I washed it this way.

Being heavier the gold would go to the bottom,

and when the washing was completed...

good discovery

And 24 carats too.

If there was no gold, the miners had a trick

to sell your land.

Called salt claim.

And this was the verifier of the salt.

I filled a shotgun cartridge with gold dust,

and shot to the ground, more or less like that.

Now there was gold on the property.

Many of the great discoveries were accidental.

An old miner fell from his mule one day,

and landed in a rich vein of gold.

The land was sold for $ 200 per serving.

I do not remember where I read that.

In the story that we have chosen for you.

"The Discovery of Gold in Muletown",

You will see the effect of gold on people.

Our star is Rory Calhoum.

From Kentucky, uh...

what wind brought him here,

He came to the wrong place, if he looks for gold.

Wyoming did not participate in the war.

I would like to start with people who do not harbor hatred.

On one side or the other.

I wish I could help you, but now

we have a lawyer in the city,

and he does not like to share his work.

I no longer practice the profession, I need a job.

And I do not care what it is.

You have a very good education.

Have you ever taught?

Something, after I left the School of Law.

Mr. Gilby got sick last week,

He had to return east.

Good man, keep things without problems.

Very good.

What do you think? Do you think you can do it?

If there is good money to pay it, I can do it.

Very good Ward, $ 4 dollars a week.

There is a room in the back of the school, you can live there.

We will get the young people a good education here in Muletown,

no matter the cost.

Peg...

I was elected on that platform.

So, hit one of them over the head, if you have to.

That will help me maintain my position.

Oh Peg, I want you to bring Mr. Ward

to the school house and help him get settled.

He is taking charge of the school.

Oh Wonderful, for a moment I feared

that you were the one who taught the children.

I do not.

I'm too deep. I would lose many votes that way.

Good luck, Ward.

Thank you, Mayor.

Here are some illustrations and a

History book of the United States.

Better listen to the laments, a history book keeps changing.

Was he in the war?

Everyone in the south was in the war, Mrs. Saunders.

We do not get much news here,

I'm sure the children will be very interested.

That's not what I'm here for.

They can learn history anywhere else.

Oh I'm sorry.

He prefers not to talk about it.

There is something else you want to show me.

It was a long ride from Kentucky.

No, I think you've seen it all.

I know he must be very tired.

Oh Mr. Ward, there is one thing. Howie

Howie?

My son.

You will meet him in the morning, he is one of your students.

I'd like to talk to him about him, when I have time.

What's the matter with him?

Well... it's so different from the other children.

I thought maybe...

I have never met a mother who does not think so.

He's a well-educated boy, Mr. Ward.

You could learn something from him.

"Applecord, applecord you're the one I meaning for."

Good morning, Mr. Ward.

There are not enough books for everyone,

so I'll write some sentences on the board

and we will read them together.

Tom Jones....

Well, now all together.

Is that more important than what we are doing?

I would like to see you after class.

Is all for today.

Study the numbers tonight,

I'll give you a test tomorrow.

You can leave.

What's your name?

Howie

Howie Sounders

Howie, huh.

Is your mother the one who works for the Mayor?

Yes sir.

Well, Howie, you see some reason why I do not

You should study your lessons in class.

No sir.

What were you doing?

I studied my maps.

Maps?

My gold maps.

Of my father.

Does he know you have them?

"Tazzy"

I do not know, sir.

Is dead.

Did your mother give them to you?

Yes sir.

He told me that they were now mine.

What do you do with them?

I use them, to look for gold.

My father said there was gold around here.

Did you ever find something?

No sir.

But he could, if he were here, he would have found it.

I'm going to find it, just wait and see.

Well, I hope you do, Howie.

Do not you think you should work on your studies while you are at school?

I want you to write this 100 times on the board.

I....

I will attend...

in class.

When you're done with that, clean the drafts in the back.

Hi.

Mr. Ward, have you seen Howie?

I guess it's over here and it should be back cleaning the drafts.

It's not a little late so he's still in school.

I had to keep him after school.

I was not paying attention.

That does not sound like Howie.

However, I'm glad you came.

I want to talk to you about that.

Did you give him some old mining maps?

Yes.

What is going on with them?

Do not you think it's a foolish way to waste your time?

Mr. Ward...

Did you ever have a dream?

Yes.

Many of them.

In a time.

He had one like his father.

I thought there was gold around Muletown.

He spent all his free time looking for him.

After his death, Howie's dream became

one day prove that his father was right.

You. Do you think he would help you by destroying that dream?

One can believe many things.

if you discover that they are wrong,

It's going to hurt double.

Is that what you want for Howie?

Oh You do not realize, gold is not important.

It's your dreams that I'm trying to protect.

And I do not want those dreams

be crushed by a man

who lost all of theirs.

What you want Howie to believe is his business,

but when I'm in class,

will work, like everyone else.

Good evening Madam.

Hey... give me those maps.

Give me the maps, -Come to catch them.

Ehh What's happening here?

He took away my maps.

Give them to me.

I will take them.

Another fight and I'm going to have to use the rules in both.

It's all for today, leave your papers on their desks.

You can go.

I help you correct them.

I can do it.

I will erase the blackboard for you

I'll do it, you better go home.

Mr. Ward...

When will you return my maps?

These maps seem to cause you many problems.

Do you really think there's gold out there, Howie?

Yes sir, I know there is.

In that case, you better start,

because someone can move forward

Thank you, Mr. Ward.

Oh Howie

If the vein is big, let me know.

If I find him, he can be my partner.

Mr. Ward. Mr. Ward.

I found it. I found the gold.

Calm down, boy, I can not understand anything you say.

Look.

Where did you find these?

In a cave, a couple of miles outside the city.

I have to file a claim. Will help me?.

Why do not we keep it secret for a while?

Between you and me.

Surprise, what should be done with

the rocks once they are?

Like what?

Well, some people in the city

They helped Ma and me when my father died.

I think I should offer you a present to show you what we feel.

How many "nuggets" do you have?

Six are all.

Good...

I can write to a neighboring city,

Sell them, buy the things you want.

But to deliver the presents at night, without anyone knowing, would be very wise.

Do we have enough gold?

That depends on what you want.

A new shoe for Mayor Bellam,

a ladder for Mr. War...

Wait, wait a minute.

Tell me...

New shoes for Mayor Bellam,

ladder for Mr. Marsh,

Mrs. Raven needs a prayer book,

Mr. Baker, cigars,

Would that be much?

They are like $ 12 dollars.

So much.

Do we have enough gold?

Well, the gold market is somewhat low now, Howie.

I think with that we have.

You have been very good to me.

Now it is OK,

You better go home before your mother worries.

See you in the morning partner.

Oh another thing.

Do not say a word to anyone, you promise?

I promise, partner.

You have things. -Yes

Come on, I have to come back before your mother misses you.

Which?

The cigarettes.

Now what?

The lantern.

What happened to Mayor Bellam's shoe?

I'll leave them on the way back.

Mr. Ward, there's someone I've forgotten.

Mrs. Douglas and Mrs. Gibble.

I'll have to make another trip.

I will bring you some more gold.

Good...

Bring me the nuggets, and I'll take care of it.

Now you better go to bed.

Good evening, Mr. Ward, thank you.

Good evening, Howie.

Good morning, Howie.

Good morning, Mr. Marsh.

It will be enough.

I think.

A couple of little things can not cost much.

I have some more.

I better stay with everyone.

Just in case you remember someone else.

Now, what do you want me to get?

What happens? Something is wrong?

Can be. Simon says the boy found gold.

Look, I've seen it, as I told you, it was as big as a hand.

One minute Mayor, Howie Did you find any gold?

Better tell us, Howie. It is not yours

if you have found it in someone's land.

I promised.

Oh, come on, boy, talk.

Wait.

Howie if he found some gold,

but it was not much.

And he used it to buy gifts for all of you.

That's why we did not say anything about that.

So that's where the ladder came from.

How many "nuggets" did you give Mr. Ward? Howie.

Seven maybe.

And he told you how much those presents cost?

What? Like $ 12 dollars.

$ 12 dollars, not exactly. It can be worth hundreds.

What do you mean?

I'll tell you, Howie.

Mr. Ward has been cheating on you.

He made you promise silence so no one could know.

This guy may have been pulling gold from one of us,

and this "mountaineer" has been stealing it.

That's a lie.

And what would you call Ward?

Well, we here know how to deal with thieves, John enciérralo.

Are you crazy?

If you lock it up, the news will run through the city like wild fire.

Let's find out where the gold is first.

Yes. Yes. You're right.

Howie, where did you find it?

Now, wait a minute.

You have to listen to me first.

Stay out of this, we'll take care of you later.

Howie, we'll go outside with you, and

You can show us the mine, huh.

John stay here and keep an eye on it.

And let you keep the gold.

We will let you know if it is in your land.

You can trust us John.

I will go with you, I want to see it for myself.

Well, then you will have to come with us.

We can not give you the opportunity to leave the city,

before we can take care of him.

They are making a mistake.

The only mistake we have made has been to let him enter Muletown.

Now, let's go unless we force him at gunpoint.

Here it is.

We are still in my land.

Forgive me, but that tree there is the dividing line,

We passed your land 50 yards ago.

This belongs to me.

Let me go first,

I have the right to go first.

I want to talk to you, Howie.

When you brought me that gold everything

You wanted it was gifts for your friends.

That was all that mattered to you.

You lied to me.

I was going to share it with you anyway.

But I did not want it to be like that, Howie

Gold is something curious, it changes people.

Like them up there, they're just a bunch of greedy people.

You are not different

Howie,

do not let that gold be more important than

what you wanted it for

What you finally could prove.

You said we were partners.

You lied to me and you cheated on me.

We are no longer partners.

Look at it, see how big it is.

Look, look.

Howie, you're sure here it was that you found it.

That can not be.

Oh Do not.

What happens?

It doesn'' T work.

It's pyrite, it's fool's gold.

This kind of speech does not come easily to me.

what we did, we are sorry.

It is what we are trying to say.

Ward does not blame him for how he feels,

what he did,

spending your money for Howie and for us.

All our kids need you.

and all of us who reconsider.

Why did he do it?

For what he said about dreams,

something to believe in.

I was right.

I did not want Howie to lose hers.

As I did.

And now.

I do not know.

You still think there's gold out there, Howie

Yes sir, I know there is.

But hell, I have maps that I have not even used yet.

Come to my house and I will show you.

It will stay.

Please Mr. Ward.

Insurance.

I will do it for sure.

Let's get rich.

Yes sir.
