00:01:02,159 --> 00:01:07,640
Well. Today is our first listener
support Slash Appreciation special, and over the

8
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:14,120
course of the next three weeks,
we'll be talking about and encouraging folks to

9
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,599
sign up to become one of our
Patreon supporters. Though we're going to start

10
00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:25,200
talking about that tomorrow. Today we're
going to present one of three different types

11
00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:32,000
of specials will be playing during this
particular campaign. Now, in the course

12
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:38,879
of choosing specials, particularly when we're
talking adaptations of a movie or story,

13
00:01:38,719 --> 00:01:44,840
I tend to choose the one that
I like the best. That doesn't mean

14
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:49,480
that other versions might not have merit. Though, we're going to play another

15
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:57,480
adaptation of a special that I've done
previously, and this one goes all the

16
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:02,120
way back to the beginning and our
pilot episode. For that episode, we

17
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:10,840
did the screen directors playhouse adaptation of
Call north Side seven seven seven, starring

18
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Jimmy Stewart in his film role,
and we also played it as our one

19
00:02:17,039 --> 00:02:23,599
thousandth episode special. So we're going
to do another version of that, and

20
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,479
the big difference is that it doesn't
star Jimmy Stewart. It stars Dana Andrews,

21
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:34,560
who of course starred in last week's
presentation of Laura. It's kind of

22
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,360
funny. I remember my very first
time starting to listen to it. I

23
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:45,120
was listening to an online old time
radio station. This program came on and

24
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:50,439
they announced that Jimmy Stewart wasn't starring, and I just closed the online radio

25
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:55,639
station with no interest whatsoever in hearing
anyone other than Jimmy Stewart. I think

26
00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:00,639
my taste have matured a little bit
since then, so we'll give mister Andrews

27
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:06,800
a chance. This program is an
episode of Hollywood sound Stage, and to

28
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,960
many listeners it will sound like an
episode of Screen Guild Theater, and with

29
00:03:12,199 --> 00:03:17,080
good reason. This was part of
the very confusing nineteen fifty one fifty two

30
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Screen Guild Theater season. A program
name Screen Guild Theater aired from nineteen thirty

31
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:30,280
nine to fifty one, in its
last season going to one hour stories,

32
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:38,120
and then it was replaced by Hollywood
sound Stage, and then in December it

33
00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:43,439
launched a second series, Stars in
the Air, and then in the middle

34
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:49,319
of the nineteen fifty one fifty two
season, Hollywood sound Stage renamed itself as

35
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,400
Screen Guild Theater. So, now
that that's clear to everyone, let's get

36
00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:59,120
into today's episode of whatever. This
is the original air date December the twenty

37
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:04,520
seventh of nineteen fifty one, and
here is called north Side seven seven seven.

38
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:12,319
This is Dana Andrews, this is
Thomas Gomez, and this is Hugh

39
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Douglas saying welcome to Hollywood sound Stage. Good evening, and welcome again to

40
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:40,399
another exciting thirty minutes made possible through
the generous cooperation of the entire motion picture

41
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:45,720
industry. Our story tonight is a
stirring human document, a story based on

42
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,720
fact, the thrilling and deeply moving
record of one man's fight for another man's

43
00:04:49,759 --> 00:04:56,399
life. Hollywood sound Stage is proud
to bring you transcribe twentieth century Fox Studio's

44
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,839
great dramatic hit called north Side seven
seven seven, starring Dana Andrews, Thomas

45
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:15,279
Gomez, and the Screen Gill players. First of all, let's get one

46
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,600
thing straight. I didn't just dream
this story up. It's right off the

47
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:25,680
record. It really happened, and
if the people in it resemble characters living

48
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:34,360
or dead, they lieve me.
It's strictly intentional. On October tenth,

49
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:39,879
nineteen forty four, I was a
reporter on the Chicago Times. October tenth,

50
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,879
nineteen forty four. The date is
important. That was the morning the

51
00:05:44,959 --> 00:05:48,560
ad appeared, a little ad in
our classified section, a personal notice that

52
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:56,680
said five thousand dollars reward for the
killers of police officer Brunde on December the

53
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:03,160
ninth, nineteen thirty two. Call
north Side seven seven seven twelve to seventy,

54
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:13,839
ask for till reach check. I
didn't notice the ad myself, but

55
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,519
Brian Kelly did. Kelly was a
city editor. There wasn't much in the

56
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,439
paper he ever missed, and whenever
Kelly got an idea, he usually had

57
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:26,160
me do something about it. Call
it curiosity, Mac. I want to

58
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:29,920
know why it's worth five thousand dollars
to somebody to find out who killed a

59
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,279
cop eleven years ago in nineteen thirty
two, it was open season on cups

60
00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:36,240
on the North Side. They were
shooting him in pairs like bracea ducks.

61
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:40,399
Well, I won't hurt the check. Maybe you'll get your name in the

62
00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:43,959
papers, Kelly. This is sucker
bait. Every grifter and mooch in town

63
00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:46,199
will be after that five grand.
They'll frame their own brothers to get it.

64
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,079
And then right, maybe this is
a frame. It's got a lot

65
00:06:51,079 --> 00:06:55,079
of angles. And see what I
mean. It just takes you longer to

66
00:06:55,199 --> 00:07:00,240
catch on. Oh well, I
was just thinking about it. You're using

67
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:05,399
that phone. Go right ahead.
Thanks, Hello, Betty, get me

68
00:07:05,439 --> 00:07:12,079
a number, will you? Yeah, I want North Side seven seven seven

69
00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,800
V. Check wasn't home. They
said she worked nights, and they told

70
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:27,240
me where one of those big office
buildings downtown. I found her up on

71
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:30,879
the seventh floor in the empty corridor, on her hands and knees, with

72
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,240
a scrubbing brush and a bucket of
water. I showed you the ad and

73
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:40,399
then she got out quickly. Yeah, yeah, that is from me.

74
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:45,279
You know something, mister, No, I'm a reporter from the Skygo Times.

75
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:48,279
Oh, we like to know why
you're so interested in finding the killers

76
00:07:48,279 --> 00:07:54,360
of that cup. Frank V check. He's my son. He's in prison

77
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:59,199
for killing him. My friends tell
me if I offer big money, maybe

78
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,800
somebody tells her kill this policeman.
You mean your son is in prison for

79
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,600
killing the cap, right, Yeah? Yeah, but he don't do it.

80
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,639
My Frank is a good boy.
He don't do this thing. It's

81
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:15,000
five thousand dollars. Where did you
get it? That's important? Yeah,

82
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,439
it's very important. He might have
had it hidden away, or maybe you

83
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,759
got it from some mob. It's
fine to spring you. Oh no,

84
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:26,600
no, it's mine. I work. I scrub floors. Eleven years,

85
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,079
I say everything. I never missed
that days work so I can get Frank

86
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,039
out. I dream of this day. Five thousand dollars. There's a lot

87
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:39,200
for a dream. Yeah, eleven
years I dream, and I've worked.

88
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,399
First, I tried three thousand dollars. Nothing. Now I try five thousand

89
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:52,720
dollars. I suppose it's still nothing. Didn't I work eleven more years.

90
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:58,240
I get ten thousand dollars. But
my boy, some day he'd get out.

91
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,840
It made a pretty good yarn.
I guess mother slaves to save five

92
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,320
thousand dollars opposite the clear sun.
I told him myself. It was all

93
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,799
in the day's work. I wrote
it and tried to forget it. I

94
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,759
tried, but Kelly didn't a swell
story, Mac, it's got size.

95
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:26,200
Thanks, almost too good for a
one day run. Why not grew up

96
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,039
an interview the boys. Now,
wait a minute, I'm not glorifying an

97
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:31,279
a cup killer. You've got proof
he's a cop killer. They didn't give

98
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,559
him ninety nine years for playing hooky. He had a record. He was

99
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,200
on probation when he shot the cup. Yeah, I know, I looked

100
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,000
it up too. He was public
enemy number one. He and a couple

101
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:46,919
of other kids broke into a grocery
store. He got a few candy bars

102
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,600
and a police record. Look,
Mac, let's put it this way.

103
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:58,200
Maybe I'm interested for personal reasons because
my mother did the same thing. She

104
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,120
scrubbed wars on her hands and knees
for more than eleven years to send me

105
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:09,480
through school. Okay, I'll go
up to the pen in the morning.

106
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,039
How about expenses. Here's a voucher, take it to the cashier. All

107
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:20,360
right, Oh, Kenny, Yeah, I happen to know your mother had

108
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:24,519
a small and new edition never scuffed
the floor in alive, and you never

109
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,440
get out of the fifth grade.
Wow, But I think if you put

110
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,200
it a corny gag, you want
me to do it pretty badly. So

111
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:39,000
I'm going well, keep the expenses
down, will you make I guess the

112
00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:41,600
warden told you, Frank, I'm
from the Chicago Times. Yes, he

113
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,679
told me. Of course. You
don't have to answer any questions if you

114
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,440
don't want to. But I do
want to. Sure, I want fine

115
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,159
to see. I'd like more of
your story, your side of it.

116
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:54,600
I need an angle, something to
hit the public with. Understand. Yes,

117
00:10:56,039 --> 00:11:01,200
Now you knew about the age your
mother in the papers, about the

118
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:05,559
five thousand dollar reward, that's right. Did you know she was scrubbing flows

119
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,679
to get that money? Yes,
I did. Well, she lives for

120
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:13,200
is to getting me off. I
guess that's all I got to live for

121
00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:16,840
too. You know, if you're
guilty, you're letting a flavor life away

122
00:11:16,879 --> 00:11:20,919
for nothing. She knows I'm not
guilty. Well, I read all the

123
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,240
news clips and the transcript of the
trial. They don't exactly whitewashi. No,

124
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,360
I know, but you only Redwick
convicted me. All the true facts

125
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,840
didn't come out. Even Judge Morton
said I wasn't guilty. The judge you

126
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,399
gave you a ninety nine years.
Yeah, he had to do that.

127
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,120
Jury said we were guilty, and
its chamber as he said, he knew

128
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:43,120
we were innocent. Family was there
after his sentences after I don't have a

129
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:48,480
better duck that what else. Lloyd
was a drunk. Didn't even let me

130
00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,879
understand because he was afraid I'd go
to the chair, go on, well,

131
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,039
well they question you are after hour, you're bombing getting mixed up in

132
00:11:58,039 --> 00:12:01,039
a lot of little things. Didn't
even listen to me on the important things.

133
00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:05,159
They had to have a conviction,
so they hadn't got it. Yeah,

134
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,799
that's a good angle railroad it.
It took me one police station to

135
00:12:07,879 --> 00:12:11,600
another every few hours, taking around
the horn. They cry. That was

136
00:12:11,639 --> 00:12:16,159
so my lawyer couldn't get me off. And then this this Fenders Scutting cut

137
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,919
Nick, that's the dame we ran
to sp easy. Yeah, that's right.

138
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,960
The cop was in there having a
drink when these two men walked in

139
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,600
and shot him and him run out
again, and Fenders Kutnick said, you

140
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,240
were one of the two. First
couple of times she saw me, she

141
00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:31,399
said, I wasn't all of a
sudden, she said, I was finger

142
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,120
woman. We'll play that up too. Look, I tell you when that

143
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,360
cop was killed, I was home
with my wife. That's right, that's

144
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,120
what you said at the trial,
said, she come up here to visit

145
00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:54,279
you, my boy. No,
not anymore. We're divorced. That's what

146
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,639
kept sticking in my crawl that his
wife didn't believe him. Why should I?

147
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,200
But I couldn't forget the old lady
scrubbing the floors. And that's the

148
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:09,480
way I wrote my story. Not
guilty, says Becheck places faith and mother.

149
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:13,559
And by the next night, Kelly
was full alighted. Nice work,

150
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,440
Mac. We're getting up to twenty
phone calls an hour on that story.

151
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,759
What are you gonna use for follow
up? Follow up? Yeah, it's

152
00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:24,080
snowballing. They want more of it. You want to give me a razor?

153
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,080
Or do I just get the five
thousand from Check's mother? Listen,

154
00:13:26,279 --> 00:13:30,080
guy, I just work here like
you. I get my orders too,

155
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,399
from a home the circulation department.
Sure, we're selling lots of papers.

156
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:37,200
We might also be selling this dead
cop short. Maybe he had a mother

157
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,840
who scrubbed floors too. No use
blowing your top. Now, I'll tell

158
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,399
you another thing. Remember what Becheck
said about the judge promising him a new

159
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:48,360
trial, Well, the judge died
three weeks after the case was closed.

160
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,159
That v Check's fault. I'm just
saying he's pretty sharp, giving me a

161
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:54,279
leading new I couldn't check. Look, Mac, if you're so sure he's

162
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:58,440
guilty, and there's nothing more to
the story than end it, write a

163
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,559
finished piece and kill it, Okay, I'll take that deal. I'll interview

164
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,279
his wife. His wife, he
believed in him so much. I got

165
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,159
a divorce. But that on your
fat rory pressed mister Kelly, I want

166
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:13,799
to kill it for keeps was open
and Chef Beacheck's wife had divorced him,

167
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,559
she'd married again. Wasn't any doubt
about what she'd say, Not a doubt

168
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:24,879
in the world until she started talking. Frank is innocent. He didn't do

169
00:14:24,919 --> 00:14:28,960
it. He was home with me
when that policeman was killed. You wouldn't

170
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,240
be saying that because you loved him
then. I mean, yes, I

171
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:37,919
did love him. I loved him
very much. So you got a divorce

172
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:45,559
and married somebody else only because Frank
insisted on him. He would you say

173
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,679
that again? Frank made me do
it. He made me get the divorce,

174
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:54,639
and then he made me get married
again. Why so our boy would

175
00:14:54,679 --> 00:15:05,159
have a chance in life, so
we'd grow up with another name. I

176
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,440
guess the story I wrote that knife
was a little different from what I'd planned,

177
00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:13,440
but it had a nice lead.
Divorced wife believes Check innocent, and

178
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:16,919
the next day Kelly was on my
neck again. Mac. I know there's

179
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,960
nothing more to the v Check case. I know it's all washed up,

180
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,519
but I think, what well,
I just got a call from the warden.

181
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,799
Check wants to see you again.
What for? Maybe he wants to

182
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,519
confess I was just up there.
Don't I get time off for good behavior.

183
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,360
Vcheck has been there for eleven years. Better take the first train up

184
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:54,720
in the morning, five minutes,
Mack. Thanks hello, Check. The

185
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,720
warden said you wanted to see me. Yeah. Look, I want to

186
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,399
tell you something. I don't want
you to write any more but me or

187
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,559
my family. No. No,
put the hearts out, tea and all

188
00:16:06,559 --> 00:16:10,519
adment. He Wait a minute,
you want help, don't you. We've

189
00:16:10,519 --> 00:16:14,120
got half a million people following this
story. Someone might know the killer.

190
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,039
Who do you think you're kidding?
My mother's doing this for me. You're

191
00:16:17,039 --> 00:16:19,480
not to sell your papers. I
thought I was doing a pretty good job.

192
00:16:19,879 --> 00:16:22,399
Put my kids pitching the paper,
spoil his whole wife. I don't

193
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:26,559
want to kind of help. Rather
stay here a thousand years, just don't

194
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:36,320
write any more about us. That's
all that shook me up a little bit,

195
00:16:36,759 --> 00:16:40,320
maybe more than I was willing to
admit. Anyway. I had a

196
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,039
talk with the warden, and then
I went back to me. Check again.

197
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:48,720
You didn't say a word. Just
let me stand there. Finally I

198
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:53,399
made a start. I said,
look, Frank, suppose I went on

199
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:59,080
with your case and did my best
to slap the story your way. I

200
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:02,919
want you to know I still don't
think you're innocent, but I'm willing to

201
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:10,599
dig and get the facts. Thanks. But remember the first time I catch

202
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:12,279
you lying, I'll blast you so
hard you won't even get your parole when

203
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:15,240
you're ninety nine years Is opposide a
deal? They got nothing to be afraid

204
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:22,279
of it? Yeah? Yeah,
I'll make it. Deal. Okay,

205
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,519
Now start talking. Was there any
witness when Judge Molton told you he'd get

206
00:17:26,519 --> 00:17:33,119
you another trial? Whoa there was
the bailiff? What was his name?

207
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,359
Well, I don't know, I'll
find that out. Who was your lawyer.

208
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:38,960
His name was Underwood. But he's
just Bird and I was a drunk

209
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,880
Yeah that's great. A dead judge
and a this bird lawyer. What else?

210
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,279
There was a friend of Scuttning.
She was a woman around a spake

211
00:17:48,319 --> 00:17:51,880
easy she identified me. It was
her alone. The other two witnesses they

212
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,000
said no, keep going. And
there was a police captain. He stood

213
00:17:56,079 --> 00:18:00,880
right alongside a friend of Scutning.
When you picked me up. She acted

214
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,680
like she was afraid of him.
What was his name? I didn't know.

215
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,880
I never found out he wasn't at
the trail. Where can I find

216
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:15,079
this scot nickname? That's nice material. Well that's all I got, but

217
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,240
it's the troth. I swear you're
willing to take a lie detective test,

218
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,359
mister McNeil. For eleven years,
I've been waiting for a chance at that

219
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,319
box. You know what you're up
against. If it turns out bad,

220
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,359
you're cooked. If it turns out
good, it isn't legal evidence. All

221
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:44,599
right, I'll take the test,
Okay, I'll set it up for him.

222
00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:48,480
How about some of the sandwich mac? You go for ham and cheese

223
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:55,200
on rye? Thanks? Oh you're
lost? Say? Seeing the report that

224
00:18:55,319 --> 00:19:00,599
lie detective test. I thought your
head gives be check a pretty clean bill

225
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,559
of health, doesn't it. Yeah, you're sure you don't want some of

226
00:19:03,559 --> 00:19:08,279
this sandwich? No thanks. Stomach
has been a little jittery because is something

227
00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:14,079
I ate sure or something you wrote? Ale? Say Kelly, if you

228
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,880
think no, don mac, why
don't you let go tell yourself the truth?

229
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,480
If you want him to be innocent, you want him to be free

230
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:26,720
admitted. Yeah, maybe you're right. Maybe I want him to be but

231
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,000
it doesn't make me believe he's innocent. If you want to believe, that's

232
00:19:30,079 --> 00:19:36,640
pretty good start. I remember,
I'll be in there swinging with you all

233
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:42,640
the way. Thanks, Kenny,
Yeah, you wouldn't have some of that

234
00:19:42,799 --> 00:19:59,079
sandwich left for you. You are

Our stars will be back in just a

to think about. Out of every one

238
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:17,920

are being saved. Among the ninety
seven that your blood can help bring back

you Act two, I'll Call north Side

251
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:26,960
seven seven seven. They say that
a convert always praised the loudest, and

252
00:21:27,079 --> 00:21:30,440
once I'd switched over to Frank Beacheck's
side, I guess you could have heard

253
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,640
me all over town. It wasn't
just a story anymore. I was digging

254
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,279
for a man's life. I started
with the bailiff, the one that Frank

255
00:21:38,319 --> 00:21:42,079
had told me about. Aye tis
the truth, mister mc neil. Judge

256
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:47,440
Morton did promise told a new trial
the hand of the saints. I used

257
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:53,160
there heard him Remember the details,
mister Sullivan schmcneil. I'll have you understand.

258
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:59,759
I am the fellow that reminds the
offense. Now she who it happened.

259
00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:03,559
As he came out in the trial, this officer of Bundy was having

260
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:07,720
a snoot and it'll speak easier.
And by this, says woman Fenders,

261
00:22:07,319 --> 00:22:11,079
the very same, the very same
indeed, and whilst he was warm for

262
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,440
himself, he's being a cool day. These two eggs come in and the

263
00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:19,960
little habit. But there was another
funner sitting there and having a drink,

264
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:26,039
I know, a tuck driver name
of Druska Crept. When the trial was

265
00:22:26,079 --> 00:22:30,680
done, the judge cried, mister
store and I'm all brought into his chambers.

266
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,559
That's when this Gruska fuller speaks up
and tells the judge that Whee Check

267
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,039
wasn't one of the curist. Why
did Fenders Scotnick say, oh, oh,

268
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,480
she stands. Pat claimed she saw
the shooting from start to finish.

269
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:47,880
But then this Groska gets mad and
says she never saw any part of it.

270
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,279
When the fireworks started, she had
ducked into a closet. Why didn't

271
00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:55,440
he say that I'm a witness?
Stand? Well, no, I guess

272
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,440
he never had the chance. All
of the let him say was yes and

273
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:08,720
no. The next man on my
list was a little harder to find.

274
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:15,720
But four days later I dug him
out in a greasy little restaurant, washing

275
00:23:15,799 --> 00:23:19,759
dishes and not exactly happy they see
me. Yeah, my name's Underwood.

276
00:23:21,039 --> 00:23:23,319
I was Check's lawyer, but I
didn't care what happened to him then,

277
00:23:23,319 --> 00:23:26,759
and I don't care now. Look, why should I. I'm a disbarred

278
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:32,279
shyster. I'm a drunk and a
pool and a crook. My testimony is

279
00:23:32,319 --> 00:23:34,839
no good, My words no good, My life's no good. I'm no

280
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,319
good to anybody. Anybody. But
Frank Beacheck, you mean you you want

281
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:48,039
the advice of a dish washing?
My wife washes dishes every night. All

282
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:53,759
right, I'll tell you something.
Only one thing convicted Beecheck. That was

283
00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:57,759
the testimony of tender Skutnick. That's
not new. She said that after the

284
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:02,759
murder she didn't see bee Check again
until she identified him in a police lineup,

285
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,359
but the day before that she was
in a squad car with him.

286
00:24:06,599 --> 00:24:08,480
She was with him the day before
she identified him. Yeah, when they

287
00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:11,839
were riding v Check around the horn
from station to station. So I couldn't

288
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:17,079
find him. He and Fenders scott
Nick set side by side. Why didn't

289
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,279
you use that information at the trial? Yeah, I couldn't prove it.

290
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,640
Well, I'm going to find that
scot Nick game. I'll prove it all

291
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,240
right. I'll give you some advice
McNeil, good advice, not shyster talk

292
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:41,559
his creditor. Prove she's a liar. Otherwise you're wasting your time. All

293
00:24:41,599 --> 00:24:44,559
I had to do, and I
was find Fenders cut Nick game, except

294
00:24:44,559 --> 00:24:48,359
that she didn't want to be found
in Chicago is a pretty fair sized village.

295
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:52,000
But I wasn't exactly wasting my time. Checking the police files, I

296
00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:56,799
found that Frank had been arrested on
December twenty second, but he hadn't been

297
00:24:56,839 --> 00:25:00,839
booked until the twenty third. The
police had held him twenty four hours.

298
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:04,079
He could have been with the scot
nickdame. I said to myself, if

299
00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:08,039
I could only prove it and then
suddenly I got the big idea, and

300
00:25:08,079 --> 00:25:15,279
I raced for the nearest telephone city
to ask Kelly. Listen, Kelly,

301
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:18,160
how about that bee check yard.
I know it wasn't important back in nineteen

302
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,519
thirty two, but maybe somebody took
some pictures. Sure you want to get

303
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:26,200
one autographed, don't clown. I'm
in a hurry. Check our files and

304
00:25:26,279 --> 00:25:29,400
have somebody check the other papers too. But Mac, you read every word

305
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,279
that was printed on the case.
You've seen every picture. A photographer shoots

306
00:25:33,279 --> 00:25:36,160
maybe ten pictures and only prints one. I want to see the other nine.

307
00:25:36,279 --> 00:25:40,319
Have it your way, say Kelly. The Harold Examiner was still in

308
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,240
business then, wasn't it. Yeah, you want that check too? No,

309
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:52,319
no thanks, I'll check that on
myself. Kelly, Well, Mac

310
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,079
would have be God my god,
it's just a pardon for Frank bea check.

311
00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,599
That's all here. Take a look
at this picture. Will you shot

312
00:26:00,599 --> 00:26:03,480
a v Check getting out of a
squad car and vendis Goutnik right beside him?

313
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,559
That proves he was lying, doesn't
it. That'll invalidate everything she said.

314
00:26:07,599 --> 00:26:10,920
Well, how do you figure she
testified she didn't see be Check between

315
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,799
the time of the murder and the
Times. She identified him on December twenty

316
00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:15,880
third, but Frank plained she saw
him on the twenty second, when the

317
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,799
cops were taken him from station to
station, and you think that's when this

318
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,000
picture was snapped. Well, obviously, look, Mac, when you come

319
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:26,920
up before the pardon board, you
can't just say obviously, you've got to

320
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,240
have proof. And this picture could
have been taken after she identified him,

321
00:26:30,279 --> 00:26:33,319
but it wasn't. So you think
it wasn't, and I think it wasn't.

322
00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:37,160
But the board will just sit there
and ask for facts. You know,

323
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,920
that could be pretty rough on bea
check. If they review his case

324
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,599
now and turn him down, it
might hurt his chances for parole. I

325
00:26:44,599 --> 00:26:48,160
wouldn't want to hurt Frank. I
know you wouldn't. You've done a great

326
00:26:48,279 --> 00:26:51,839
job, Mac. Nobody could have
done any better. Sure, the operation

327
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,920
was successful, but the patient died. Personally, I'd go along with you.

328
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,920
But the front officer is getting a
little worried. These cracks we've taken

329
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:06,279
the police department in the state's attorney. Okay, what do we do?

330
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,680
Write a finished story? Get the
paper off the hook, all right,

331
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,119
and you'd better go out and see
v Teck's mother. I can't, I

332
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,039
can't do that. You wanted to
read it in the paper? Do your

333
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:32,240
mac? No? How cool.
That's the toughest assignment I've ever had to

334
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,920
have to tell Frank's mother. We
were pulling out to have to tell her

335
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,920
she was on her own again.
I sat there in the cab and I

336
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:44,240
kept staring at the picture of Frank
and find the Skutnick, staring at it

337
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,880
looking for something back. When you
got a letter that's got bad news and

338
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,079
you read it over and over and
over again, hoping maybe you've read it

339
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,000
wrong, I guess I hardly heard
the cab driver at first seen the afternoon

340
00:27:56,079 --> 00:28:00,680
paper, Bud, I said,
have you seen the afternoon paper? Paper?

341
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:03,839
Now? And a cops pull the
nifty one? All right? They

342
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,480
proved some guy as a forgerer.
First time I use that new machine.

343
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,440
Machine. Yeah you don't that machine
and largest things A thousand times. They

344
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:18,119
can take a piece of writing or
like a picture, anything a thousand times,

345
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,680
Yeah, thousand times. It brings
it out clear as a felly.

346
00:28:22,519 --> 00:28:25,799
You know where the police lab is? Police lab? Yeah, sure it's

347
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:27,920
down there. A few plot.
Don't talk, drive, I wait a

348
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,839
minute, pull up to that drug
store. Will you. I gotta make

349
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:41,960
a phone call first. I dropped
everything. Mac rushed right down. What's

350
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,240
it all about? We've still got
a chance killing. If you know how

351
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,880
to pray, if we get a
break, I'll pray for watch slow down,

352
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,559
give me an angle, will you. They've got a new process just

353
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,839
perfected and largest pictures a thousand times. I've got them working on that picture

354
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,480
right now, the one of Frank
v. Jacob fed to Skutnik. Yeah,

355
00:28:57,519 --> 00:29:00,440
but they're not working on them.
Over on one side. There was

356
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,960
a kid in the picture, a
newsboy with some papers under his arm.

357
00:29:04,039 --> 00:29:08,119
That's the part they're working on,
Kelly. If I am right, if

358
00:29:08,119 --> 00:29:11,240
they can bring that out almost ready, Mack, I want to come in,

359
00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:18,000
try and stop us. Don't light
any matches or anything. Have to

360
00:29:18,039 --> 00:29:22,599
develop these prints in the dark,
just going into the soup now, Kelly,

361
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:25,759
remember what I said, I'm not
praying. I still don't know what

362
00:29:25,799 --> 00:29:30,359
you're looking for? The date?
The date on the newspapers under that newsboy's

363
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,559
arm. Can they bring that out? Coming up? Now? What's it?

364
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,720
Kelly? What's the date? And
there it is? It's coming through

365
00:29:38,759 --> 00:29:56,240
I think the December December twenty twenties
something December twenty second, nineteen thirty two,

366
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,359
that cab drivers said it was clear
as a bell, clear enough even

367
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,039
for the pardon board. I guess
I should be pretty happy. But there's

368
00:30:11,119 --> 00:30:15,119
just one thing. There were two
men convicted for Officer Bundy's murder, two

369
00:30:15,119 --> 00:30:18,839
men convicted on the same evidence.
One of them, Frank Beecheck, has

370
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,839
been pardoned now, the other one
is still in jail. You know,

371
00:30:25,359 --> 00:30:27,920
I've been sort of wondering about that. Looks like I'll have to go to

372
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:48,039
work again. You have just heard
the Hollywood sound stage production of the twentieth

373
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:52,400
century Fox dramatic hit called north Side
seven seven seven, and now back on

374
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,880
stage for a final round of applause, here are the stars of our play

375
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,119
tonight, Thomas Gomez and Dana Andrews. Thank you, thank you very much.

376
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,480
We hope you enjoyed the show tonight
as much as we enjoyed being here.

377
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:07,519
As you know, this program helped
support the Motion Picture Relief Fund,

378
00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:11,000
and there isn't an actor in Hollywood
who isn't proud to share in that great

379
00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:15,599
work. Am all right, Tommy, absolutely, Dana, all Hollywood is

380
00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:18,079
combining to make this half hour the
dramatic highlight of the radio week and doing

381
00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:22,240
a pretty good job. I'd say, wait till our audience, here's about

382
00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:25,440
next week's show. Why wait you
Douglas is right here and all set to

383
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:26,759
tell him. Then, why should
we hold up the parade? Come on,

384
00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:30,200
let's beat it. Good night everybody, and thanks, thanks again.

385
00:31:30,279 --> 00:31:52,200
Good night. Next week, Hollywood
sound Stage brings you a rare treat to

386
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:57,279
start the new year on a high
dramatic note. A tender and deeply moving

387
00:31:57,359 --> 00:32:02,119
story that will capt today you from
start to finish. A story filled with

388
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:07,400
rich moods and poignan scenes. A
story that builds to a shocking and unexpected

389
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:14,319
climax. Its metro Goldwyn Mayer's great
motion picture hit The Sacred Heart, and

390
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,279
it will star two of your favorite
players, Clodette Colbert and Barry Sullivan.

391
00:32:19,839 --> 00:32:24,839
Remember at the same time next Thursday
night, Barry Sullivan and Clodette Colbert in

392
00:32:25,119 --> 00:32:31,039
The Sacred Heart. Be sure to
listen. Our story Tonight was presented through

393
00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:37,319
the kindness of twentieth Century Fox Studios, whose current release is Decision Before Dawn,

394
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:43,400
starring Richard Baseheart and Gary Merrill.
Dana Andrews appears through the courtesy of

395
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,160
Samuel Goldwyn and is currently starring in
the Goldwyn film production I Want You.

396
00:32:47,839 --> 00:32:53,519
Thomas Gomez can now be seen starring
in the Columbia picture Harlem Globetrotters. Hollywood

397
00:32:53,559 --> 00:33:00,480
sound stage was transcribed in the film
Capital Our play Tonight was adapted and directed

398
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:09,400
by Harry Klnman. Saturday Night is
Your Night? Arrive with bill Board as

399
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:14,559
Hoble on Cassidy. Be're listening next
Saturday evening when Hoppy treats you to another

400
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:22,519
roping riding adventure Western style over most
of these same CBS radio stations. This

401
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,640
is Hugh Douglas feeding. And remember
it's two hours of music, the nation's

402
00:33:25,759 --> 00:34:17,000
favorite songs, every Friday night the
CBS Radio Network. Welcome back. Well,

403
00:34:17,039 --> 00:34:22,880
I think mister Andrews did a good
job. I would still take Jimmy

404
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Stewart every day of the week over
him, but he put in a solid

405
00:34:29,079 --> 00:34:35,880
performance. Caul north Side seven seven
seven is such a phenomenal story, it's

406
00:34:36,039 --> 00:34:42,760
disappointing that it was never adapted for
a one hour episode of the Luxle Radio

407
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:49,440
Theater or screen Director's Playhouse or screen
Old Theater. When they were doing one

408
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,800
hour episode, however, I think
this half hour version does a good job

409
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:01,000
at establishing the basics of the story. I always hope with these half hour

410
00:35:01,159 --> 00:35:08,159
episodes that they might get some folks
interested in checking out the full movie.

411
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:16,119
Certainly, I have sought out movies
where I've only seen the half hour adaptation,

412
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:23,320
but the adaptation just made the film
seem so intriguing and so worth watching

413
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:29,440
that I just had to see it
for myself. This is a good story

414
00:35:29,519 --> 00:35:37,280
because it's not only a solid detective
story, it's also got some really interesting

415
00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:43,159
dramatic beats. I think Mac goes
on a journey in this story. He

416
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,360
starts out as really a bit of
a cinic who is willing, if not

417
00:35:47,760 --> 00:36:00,239
enthusiastic, about using Frank and his
family to sell papers and improve circulation,

418
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:06,000
to really caring and trying to help
and do the right thing and find the

419
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:12,599
truth and in dealing with the responsibility
that comes with the power of the press.

420
00:36:13,039 --> 00:36:21,159
Films like Cole north Side seven seven
seven also should temper some nostalgia for

421
00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:31,559
a mythical houcyon bygone days of journalism. While listening to Kelly's eagerness to get

422
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:37,960
reader interest to increase circulation, I
couldn't help, but think of modern publications

423
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:45,800
who will do some dodgy things for
cliques and views. And historically, I

424
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:51,360
think that there is a bit of
reality to the way that this is portrait.

425
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:59,320
Newspapers were at first a very cutthroat
business, with a lot of competition

426
00:37:00,159 --> 00:37:06,800
and multiple editions published throughout the day, and not every paper survived. What

427
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:14,320
happened with newspapers was the coming of
other forms of media, radio and then

428
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:22,280
television, leading to a decline in
their popularity and calling the field quite a

429
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:28,960
bit. And I think that the
broad taste of the American people began to

430
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:37,119
favor a more responsible, seeming approach
to journalism rather than the sort of sensationalism

431
00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:44,360
that was so prevalent through the early
decades of the twentieth century. Of course,

432
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:51,360
in recent decades the news business has
undergone even more changes and kind of

433
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:59,679
resembles much more the sort of situation
that you could recognize in this episode,

434
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:05,840
or even a decade or so earlier. So perhaps it's a cyclical thing,

435
00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:10,480
but I think the way that our
modern media tends to work makes this resonate

436
00:38:10,519 --> 00:38:15,559
a bit more. For me.
This is a story where you could easily

437
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,960
change some of the details and write
it as a completely fictional story and the

438
00:38:21,079 --> 00:38:25,360
basic plot would stand up perfectly today. Now it's time to thank our Patreon
