Well, now we turned to the Tom Conway era. Conway takes 14 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:38,359 over as the Saint for the rest of the episodes. Remaining longtime listeners of 15 00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:45,480 the show, we'll remember that he followed Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes, so 16 00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:49,840 he had a bit of a history of taking on hard acts to follow. 17 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,640 He was decent in his homes. We'll see how he does as the Saint. 18 00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:59,799 Probably his biggest claim to fame was as the Falcon. He played that 19 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:06,200 role in nine films, succeeding his brother George Sanders, who had played the 20 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,560 role for three films. Sanders also had played the Saint and was probably the 21 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:16,840 best of the film saints. One other fun fact about Tom Conway. Tim 22 00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:23,599 Conway was actually named Thomas Conway. However, he changed his name to Tim 23 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:29,960 when he came to Hollywood as not to be confused with Tom Conway, even 24 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,599 though at that point Tom Conway's career was kind of in the Twilight At any 25 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,319 rate. Here now from May the twenty seventh of nineteen fifty one is the 26 00:02:40,560 --> 00:03:22,680 children's Crusade The Adventures of the Saint, starring Tom Conway, a Saint based 27 00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:28,199 on characters created by Leslie Chatteris and known to millions from books, magazines, 28 00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:32,240 and motion pictures. The robin Hood of Modern Crime now comes transcribe to radio, 29 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:44,759 starring Hollywood's brilliant and talented actor Tom Conway as the Saint. Running going, 30 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,919 mister Tanker. Yes, and you, of course are mistrid. Please 31 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,280 come in. Thank you. It was also nice if you'd let me come 32 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:01,039 and see you. I suppose it pretty hysterical on the phone. And sit 33 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,840 down, miss get Rich and tell me about it. Mister Templer, my 34 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,960 fiance is going to be killed, and no one will believe me. Why 35 00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:15,560 won't we believe yours? Because there are men and men know everything, especially 36 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,199 policeman, and I'm just a historical girl who should go home and forget all 37 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,240 about it and let him be killed. Even though I'm a man, I 38 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,959 might believe you. No, you won't believe you either. Wich will be 39 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,120 nice about mister Templer. What do you do when the police won't help and 40 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,759 you're having got money for a private detective and Bill won't even help himself. 41 00:04:35,879 --> 00:04:39,680 No, he's a man named Simon Temper, and you'll tell him about it? 42 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:48,279 Than what about Bill? He's Bill for others. He's an instructor and 43 00:04:48,399 --> 00:04:55,240 Antetam military account. I'm a secretary here Antietam a large school. No, 44 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,680 it's rather small. Bill and I are both employed by Major Jackson. He 45 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,199 the school. And what makes you think Bill is in danger? Yesterday morning 46 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:08,480 I found the suna's desk. He refused to talk about it. He left 47 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:15,519 me. Mister Trench, I'm sorry, it's just it. Answer you to 48 00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:26,040 William S. Ruthers first TWEU Tenant Infantry Reserve subject finding of Courts Martial one, 49 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:31,040 having been duly tried this State Brie General Court for grave and serious offenses 50 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,720 committing in violation of the Articles of War, lieutenantor Ruthers is here by Judge 51 00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:43,959 guilty. Two. It is the sentence of this Court that Lieutenant to Ruthers 52 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,199 be remanded to custody until such dimers punishment may be carried out. That punishment 53 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:55,160 is death, dated two days ago. You see the punishment is death. 54 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,199 I think you're worried about nothing. My dear boys at military school have to 55 00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:01,680 develop a slight, big statistic sense of humor. I thought it was that 56 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,079 too until last night. Bill and I were walking on the parade ground when 57 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,560 there was a shot, a rifle shot. It just grazed him, knocked 58 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,959 his hat off. But someone want to kill him. It wasn't just an 59 00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:17,879 accident, certainly it was an accident. Somebody writes a crazy letter to Bill 60 00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:20,399 telling him they're going to kill him and then they shoot at him with a 61 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,639 rifle, and and everyone would some hysterical girl can see that it's just an 62 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:31,399 accident. I'm silent. I had to make sure. Sorry too. I 63 00:06:31,439 --> 00:06:35,639 guess I should be doing where? Back to the school? Where else? 64 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:42,839 I'll go with you? Why? Because I believe you want to help Bill? 65 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:49,639 Reason enough? Thank you. I'd feel younger to call miss Simon. 66 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,920 Major Jackson's office is right over here side who goes there? You know who 67 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:11,240 goes there?

It's nothing, nothing to me that you're in 110 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:28,799 terrible dangerous Anne. And would you mind if I talk with temper alone just 111 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,200 for a minute. Of course, not Bill.

There might be something in this Templar In spite of what I said 115 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,399 to Anne, I I don't quite know if this is it, but well, 116 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,279 quite some time ago I fell in love with the mother of one of 117 00:10:56,279 --> 00:10:58,480 the Cadets series, the Cadet Captain head of the class, Stephen Anderson. 118 00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:05,000 Are you and missus Anderson? Si? No, it didn't last I don't 119 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,600 want to excuse myself, but Vivian's a beautiful woman's he has too much money, 120 00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:13,840 too much leisure, too little maturity. She came here to see Stephen. 121 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,279 That's how it started. It didn't last long, but you think Stephen 122 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,759 found out? He may have. And he's a peculiar kid, brilliant, 123 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,720 neurotically attached to his mother in spite of the fact that she almost never finds 124 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:33,919 time for him. Father died years ago. Kids that age fourteen, they 125 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,120 get funny ideas about things sometimes. Yeah, I'd got to have a talk 126 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:43,480 with him. Would he be capable of actually shooting at you? I don't 127 00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:48,360 know. I guess I deserved it any place else they let him mate come 128 00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:54,120 from? Well then no, no, it's nothing, seriously, it's not 129 00:11:54,200 --> 00:12:00,679 important. Sure, sure, all right, but I can go walking on 130 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,519 a break ground to night. Cordis not until this is cleared up. Yeah, 131 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:07,559 yeah, sure you'll find Stephen over in the Cadet barracks across the road 132 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:15,480 in sampler. Zanne need to know I wouldn't over. Doesn't that answer your 133 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:31,080 question? I guess that's close enough, Saint. Thanks, Eddies Man, 134 00:12:31,799 --> 00:12:37,559 that is welcome done, Eddies. Uh Stephen Anderson here, president, sir? 135 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,879 Oh are you Stephen?

In here, sir, fine and Stephen, would you do me 139 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,519 a favor and leave off a few of the sas. All right, Stephen, 140 00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:11,639 I'm going to ask you a few questions that perhaps I have no business 141 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:18,559 ask me, but I hope you will answer about Bill Carruthers lieutenant. He's 142 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,720 not in the army, that's his title. Sir, all right, do 143 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:30,200 you have a grudge against Stephen I Wilson. You didn't write him a letter 144 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,840 of recent thing? I it Major Jackson sand you No, No, you 145 00:13:35,919 --> 00:13:39,320 didn't. Then I can't answer any questions. I'm going to calling your mother, 146 00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:45,840 Stephen dog. I think she'll like you, but you won't. Yes, 147 00:13:45,919 --> 00:13:50,840 sir Stephen, are you happy here? Yes, sir? That also, 148 00:13:52,879 --> 00:14:07,559 I hope that's all Stephen. Yes, missus Anderson, you might call 149 00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:11,600 me that. Yes, all of that summer time ago, and we'll discuss 150 00:14:11,639 --> 00:14:16,080 it. My name is Simon Temper, missus. It's too complicated. Really 151 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:22,440 make it vivian and sit down. Thank you, Simon Temper. So you're 152 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:28,639 the saying Auntie on occasion now interesting to meet you, would they say like 153 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,720 a Jane, Oh no, thanks, I came about Stephen. Nothing's happened 154 00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:39,759 to me. I just wanted to know if you seeming recently Whisner ridiculous, 155 00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:43,240 Simon, but I should have a son fourteen years old, astonishing? Have 156 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,360 you seen him recently? No? Albody writes regularly. Of course he's very 157 00:14:46,399 --> 00:14:50,360 good about it. But you haven't seen him. Did you know that someone 158 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:56,840 came very close to killing Bill Carrolls last night? Bill? Whatever? The 159 00:14:56,919 --> 00:15:00,320 poor boys are horrible, Dan to have been killing the little explana. Oh, 160 00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:05,960 you don't think it's Steven? Because of Bill and I I'm trying to 161 00:15:05,039 --> 00:15:09,639 find out. Has there been anything in Steven's letters to indicate what he's thinking? 162 00:15:11,039 --> 00:15:13,960 No, no, I don't think so. Lately they'd been full of 163 00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:16,440 something big. It's going to happen at the school. But he didn't say 164 00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:22,720 what. Certainly not well, well not there what was going to happen? 165 00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:28,240 Did he give him a date tomorrow? I think it's nothing.

You have 304 00:28:52,559 --> 00:28:57,920 a listening to another transcribe adventure of the Saint Robin Hood of modern Crime. 305 00:29:00,039 --> 00:29:04,079 Allah, here's our star Tom Conaway. Ladies and gentlemen, may I have 306 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,599 your attention for a very important to me. I say it's important to cause 307 00:29:08,839 --> 00:29:14,920 during that minute, someone somewhere is going to be injured in an automotive accident. 308 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:19,200 Unbelievable as it seems, a many contractic accidents exactly clothed more than one 309 00:29:19,319 --> 00:29:25,240 castle. They every minute. Last year, thirty two thousand were killed, 310 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:32,160 one million were injured, and in almost every single case it was discovered that 311 00:29:32,279 --> 00:29:36,000 one or more violations of the Tratic law were involved. That's the fact. 312 00:29:36,039 --> 00:29:40,680 I want you to remember the fact that the moment's carelessness, a moment's flaunting 313 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:45,480 of the law, might bring trantity to you. So many of us believed 314 00:29:45,519 --> 00:29:52,079 that tratic accidents always happened something else. First year's systems thought that way and 315 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,359 sold today tomorrow. Perhaps there would be no vusting if only would be realized 316 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:03,319 the Tratic act each aspect to every one of us, So obey the Lord 317 00:30:03,359 --> 00:30:07,839 of the road, whether you're a driver or the destrim guard against the being 318 00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:17,079 of the Steve drink and skre remember that it can happen to you.

And this 332 00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:45,720 is NBC, the National Broadcasting Company. This is Andrew J. Graham, 333 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,599 author of the web surface series Oh and a Man of His Wife. You're 334 00:32:49,680 --> 00:33:00,160 listening to the great detectives of old time radio. Welcome back. Well, 335 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:06,000 it's important with this new Saint not to compare to Vincent Price and how Price 336 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,559 would have done it on its own merits. It was a good performance in 337 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:15,640 many ways. It reminded me of Herbert Marshall in The Man called X. 338 00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:20,079 The Major was a bit over the top. I mean, honestly, the 339 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,559 guy who was killed kind of was suspicious of the wrong person. Because if 340 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:30,039 I'm working at a military academy and my boss is the major, I'm not 341 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:37,519 gonna be suspicious of the kid whose mother had once dated. I'd be much 342 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:44,079 concerned with the instructor with delusions of grandeur. But at any rate, we 343 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:50,759 do turn to some listener comments and feedback. Brian comments love the Saint with 344 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,400 Vincent Price. It will be sad to see this series end. Sadder to 345 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:58,799 hear the last Vincent Price show. I actually watched a few of the TV 346 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:05,279 show. It was British and didn't hold a candle to the radio series to 347 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:10,599 me that it depends on which series that you've seen. I like the Roger 348 00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:15,960 Moore series, the black and White one. I haven't seen the Color ones 349 00:34:15,079 --> 00:34:21,039 yet. The Simon Dutton series, I've saw one and I'm not interested in 350 00:34:21,199 --> 00:34:25,079 seeing more. But thanks for the comment, and definitely we mis Vincent Price 351 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:30,760 and it was such a pleasure to be able to hear his talents and what 352 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:37,559 he was able to bring to the program. Douglas had a comment regarding the 353 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:43,840 title Fishes Gotta Eat Episode sixteen forty one. I liked the show and the 354 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:50,719 episode was okay, but the title was a bit unfortunate. Definitely understand where 355 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,960 you're coming there from there, Douglas, and thanks so much for the comment. 356 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,719 All right, Well, that we'll do it for today. Join us 357 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,239 back here tomorrow for the Adventures of Ellery Queen, and we will be back 358 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:07,800 on Monday with another episode of The Saint with Tom Conway.
