10:00p - Craig's Wife - Rosalind Russell

"The plot centers on twenty-four hours in the life of Harriet Craig, and the home life she has created for herself and her husband. Harriet values material things more than her husband and goes to great lengths to protect her life as she has created it, regardless of what the outcomes are to those around her. The story's message is stated by the Craig's housekeeper, Mrs. Harold, who says, "Those who live for themselves, are left to themselves," as one by one, all her disgusted family and servants abandon her, leaving her entirely on her own."

The remake was called "Harriet Craig" starring Joan Crawford.

11:30p Stella Dallas - Barbara Stanwyck

"A mother trieds to do the right thing for her daughter but only causes embarressment."

"Never argue with a fool. Onlookers may not be able to tell the difference."

Thanks for that info on "Craig's Wife" @Mz iMac -- that clears something up for me. I was always confused, sometimes thinking it was a Roz Russell vehicle, then thinking it was Joan Crawford's. Apparently it was both, but under slightly different titles!
