Escape! -- "Two and Two Make Four"

David Parker, an American merchant marine, is in Calais, France, where he is beaten and robbed. He wakes up all alone with no memory of the last several hours.

He meets young woman on the road, an American tourist, who tells him he is in England. David finds it hard to believe her -- how could he have crossed the English Channel without remembering?

Parker next meets an eccentric local who explains that he perhaps came through the secret tunnel -- a tunnel under the channel that no one knows about. (Exciting story told 40 years before its time.)

Featuring: Shep Menken, Joyce McClusky, Tudor Owen, Richard Peel

Original Air Date: August 21, 1954 on CBS

The Halls of Ivy - "Victoria's New Review"

Victoria is on campus working with the students on a stage production when Artie Pinero, her old comedy partner from the British theatre, stops unannounced at the Hall's home. Artie has just come from Australia where his latest stage production is a smash hit -- just as it is in England.

Now Artie is about to launch the New York production and he wants Victoria to star in it. Will the allure of the stage pull her back? Is it fair for professor Hall not to understand if it does?

Wonderful script that will have you laughing, crying and feeling warm all over.

Featuring: Ronald Colman, Benita Hume, Joseph Kearns, Janet Waldo, Gloria Gordon

Original Air Date: March 10, 1950 on NBC
