It was 12 December 1937 and MAE WEST was featured on the popular radio program "The Chase & Sanborn Hour," and introduced by emcee Don Ameche.
• • Here's a section of the controversial Adam and Eve sketch. Mae West played Eve.
• • Snake: That's the forbidden tree.
• • Eve (Mae West): Oh, don't be technical. Answer me this — — my palpitatin' python — — would you like to have this whole Paradise to yourself?
• • Snake: Certainly.
• • Eve: OK, then pick me a handful of fruit — — Adam and I'll eat it and the Garden of Eden is all yours. What do ya say?
• • Snake: Sssounds all right . . . but it's forbidden fruit.
• • Eve: Listen, what are you — — my friend in the grass or a snake in the grass?
• • Snake: But, forbidden fruit.
• • Eve: Are you a snake or are you a mouse?
• • Snake: I'll — — I'll do it [hissing laugh].
• • Eve: Now you're talking. Here — — right in between those pickets.
• • Snake: I'm, I'm stuck.
• • Eve: Oh — — shake your hips. There, there now, you're through.
• • Snake: I shouldn't be doing this.
• • Eve: Yeah, but you're doing all right now. Get me a big one. I feel like doin' a big apple.
• • Snake: Here you are, Missus Eve.
• • Eve: Mm — — oh, I see — — huh — — nice goin', swivel hips.
• • Snake: Wait a minute. It won't work. Adam'll never eat that forbidden apple.
• • Eve: Oh, yes, he will — — when I'm through with it.
• • Snake: Nonsense. He won't.
• • Eve: He will if I feed it to him like women are gonna feed men for the rest of time.
• • Snake: What's that?
• • Eve: Applesauce!
• • The skit was written by Arch Obler and reinvigorated by Mae West.
